Chapter 535 - Ghost Mountain

Chapter 535 - Ghost Mountain

Dark clouds loomed ominously over the vast sky, pressing down as if just an arm's length away, creeping steadily closer.

Fierce winds whistled, sweeping up countless towering waves into the air. Yet amidst the boundless sea, they amounted to mere splashes.

In the distance, a vast expanse of dark clouds covered a large area of the sea. While it remained sunny where Chen Fan sailed, far out at sea, dense clouds were spreading.

Stretching as far as his eyes could see, a massive lone island loomed amidst the winds and waves.

The instant Chen Fan caught sight of this island, he knew it was the Hidden Dragon Island, his destination.

Flying was forbidden under those dark clouds. Unless one was a Divine Nascent realm powerhouse, any creature daring to fly here courted death.

Lightning dragons roiled within the clouds, ready to smite any airborne intruders. This was the legacy of a sect that once ruled the Hong Domain.

Even though they had long since disappeared, becoming history, their formidable restrictions endured.

Chen Fan drove the wooden boat, speeding forth and overcoming all obstacles on the way. Half a day later, the Hidden Dragon Island was finally close at hand.

The pitch-black layer of clouds hung low, with lightning dragons tumbling within, emanating an intense sense of oppression.

Chen Fan found his heart pounding despite his powerful physique.

An enormous island that spanned hundreds of kilometers wide floated on the vast sea. Countless towering waves crashed onto its shores but failed to shake it in the slightest.

Chen Fan held his nomination token in hand as he closed in on the island. A trace of energy immediately erupted. It enveloped and pulled him flying toward the Hidden Dragon Island, bumping into a layer of barrier.

With a plop sound, Chen Fan felt his head spinning momentarily. Next, the scenery in front of his eyes changed drastically.

He found himself standing on a hillside. As he looked around, he realized this was more of a continent than an island.

A vast, endless forest entered his vision. The emerald green scenery was full of vitality. He could also occasionally hear the roars of beasts.

The cloud-piercing mountain seemed to have transformed into a ghost mountain. Just looking at it gave one the illusion of sinking into Avici Hell, sending chills down their spine.

Moreover, the endless roars of the various demonic beasts grew strangely quiet after dark. Only the terrifying noises from the ghost mountain echoed through the heavens and earth.

“How bizarre!”

Chen Fan stood on the branch of a tall tree and looked at the ghost mountain.

The thick deathly qi and eerie coldness felt like a demon, laughing silently at everyone on the island.

“Such dense deathly qi and vengeful qi. It’s even thicker than the qi found at the Fiendish Corpse Mountain Range. Who knows how many people died to form such a thick, deathly qi, like a ghost city!

“I fear there are great evil spirits on that mountain, not just one or two. Otherwise, it wouldn’t give off such a chilling sensation. It would be a disaster if a Divine Nascent realm ferocious creature came out,” Chen Fan muttered to himself, narrowing his eyes.

The trial at the Hidden Dragon Island would last for a hundred days.

The Hidden Dragon Island was open, and people had barged into an island that had been quiet for three thousand years. Who knew if the slumbering souls would be disturbed and bring forth an unpredictable disaster?

Chen Fan warned himself to be extremely cautious.

The terrifying roars went on until dawn. The starry light gradually faded, and the terrifying roars from the ghost mountain also gradually calmed down.

The Yin qi lingered for another three-quarters of an hour before dissipating into nothingness.

As the roars on the ghost mountain disappeared, the roars of the various demonic beasts in the forest gradually heated up, exactly like when Chen Fan had just entered the island.

Compared to the terrifying roars that came from the ghost mountain last night, the berserk roars from the demonic beasts felt oddly safe; they sounded much more pleasant to the ears.

After a night’s rest, Chen Fan was full of vigor. Brilliant light shone in his eyes.

The trial at the Hidden Dragon Island had already begun. He needed to do his best to search for opportunities in these hundred days to raise his cultivation and strengthen himself.

Of the thirty-six nations, the Great Li Imperial Court was given a hundred spots, the six great nations were given fifty spots each, while the rest of the twenty-nine nations each had thirty spots. At least a thousand people had stepped foot on the Hidden Dragon Island.

If those thousand people had been ordinary people, that number would have seemed too little, but for powerful martial artists, that was far from the case.
