Chapter 333: Space-Time Storm, Mysterious World
The reason Su Chen stopped his body was simple.
Because the flow of baleful energy in this area had changed.
Previously, those dark red baleful energy tornadoes, although violent, always followed a certain pattern in Su Chen's perception; they rotated around a certain center in the depths, like stars orbiting the sun.
But now, all the baleful energy had suddenly stopped, as eerily calm as the doldrums of the ocean.
"Brother, stop."
Sun Wukong retracted his Ruyi Jingu Bang and hovered beside Su Chen. He scanned the surroundings with his golden pupils and also noticed the anomaly.
"What's going on? Why did those messy baleful energies stop moving?"
Su Chen shook his head slightly, indicating he didn't know either.
The baleful energy that had been actively wrapping around the blade of the Returning Ruins Divine Axe in his hand was rapidly peeling away, like a school of fish startled and fleeing in all directions.
No, that wasn't fleeing; it was being affected by some kind of existence.
Su Chen looked up abruptly.
The dark red sky above began to twist.
Countless spatial rifts exploded at the same time, and gray-white chaotic airflow gushed out from the rifts, colliding violently with the dark red baleful energy to form a visible gray vortex that was rapidly expanding.
At the center of the vortex, the order of time and space completely collapsed.
"Not good, time and space here have collapsed, forming a space-time storm. Run!"
Su Chen grabbed Sun Wukong's arm, and the Nine Demon Tower flew out from his brow, swelling in the wind to cover the two of them.
But it was still a step too late.
The space-time storm swept the Nine Demon Tower and the two of them into it with irresistible force.
Inside the Nine Demon Tower, the demonic energy operated wildly, and the faces of the ancient demon gods on the nine-story tower walls roared in unison, maintaining the integrity of the tower body. Even so, the tower body still trembled violently, and Su Chen could feel the power outside the Nine Demon Tower that tore everything apart constantly impacting it.
Sun Wukong felt the Nine Demon Tower constantly being impacted and cursed: "Damn it! This ghost place even eats people with the wind!"
Su Chen formed seals with both hands, pouring all his magic power into the Nine Demon Tower.
"Brother, this storm is a bit strange; we must rush out as soon as possible!"
Su Chen urged the Nine Demon Tower to rush in one direction.
In this storm, space collapsed, and there was no true direction, but he knew he couldn't stay in place.
Time also lost its meaning in the storm.
The time they had been inside could have been a stick of incense, or it could have been a whole day.
As Su Chen urged the Nine Demon Tower to fly continuously, the Nine Demon Tower suddenly shook violently, and they finally rushed out of that storm.
Su Chen withdrew the Nine Demon Tower, and the two figures were exposed.
Then, both of them were stunned.
The dark red death forbidden land before them had vanished without a trace.
Replacing it was a world they had never seen before.
A mountain stood before the two. Su Chen looked up, but he couldn't see the top at all.
The mountain body was so vast that it occupied the entire field of vision, extending from their feet to the end of the horizon, as if this mountain were the entirety of this world.
A layer of pale golden halo flowed over the mountain body, like golden mist, shrouding the entire divine mountain.
There were no sun, moon, or stars to be seen in the sky.
Five-colored rays of light projected from nowhere, illuminating the entire world like a painting.
"Is it raining?" Sun Wukong stretched out his hand. "No, this isn't rain; it's spiritual energy."
The spiritual energy here was so dense that it had liquefied, turning into fine spiritual rain that drizzled down from the sky.
Every drop of spiritual rain that fell on the skin could be felt as abundant spiritual power seeping into the pores.
Sun Wukong took a deep breath, and his chest shook violently.
"My goodness..." The monkey widened his golden eyes. "This spiritual energy is purer than that in the Heavenly Court's Peach Garden. Brother, what place is this?"
Su Chen didn't know either. He lowered his head and looked at his feet.
The place where the two landed was a gentle slope.
The slope was covered with all kinds of medicinal herbs, densely packed and cluttered together, like wild grass that no one cared for.
But Su Chen only took one glance, and his pupils contracted.
Among those "wild grasses," he recognized at least seven or eight kinds of immortal herbs that had long been extinct in the outside world.
Purple Origin Lingzhi, Heavenly Marrow Jade Ginseng, Blood Phoenix Immortal Vine...
Any one of them taken to the outside world would make major sects fight to the death.
But here, they grew by the roadside like weeds, ignored by everyone.
Sun Wukong also looked around.
"That fruit on the tree..." Sun Wukong pointed to an ancient tree that was entirely emerald green. "Is that a Ten-Thousand-Year Emerald Spirit Fruit?"
Su Chen followed his hand and looked over.
The ancient tree had a canopy like a lid, and the branches were covered with emerald green fruits the size of a fist.
The surface of the fruits flowed with lustrous light, emitting a sweet and exotic fragrance.
The Ten-Thousand-Year Emerald Spirit Fruit was a top-tier heavenly treasure in the Three Realms, and a single one could increase the chance of an Earth Immortal breaking through to a Heavenly Immortal by ten percent.
And there were no fewer than thirty spirit fruits hanging on that tree.
Sun Wukong swallowed his saliva as he looked at the tempting spirit fruits.
Su Chen squatted down and plucked an immortal herb from his feet that emitted a faint starlight.
Nine-Leaf Starlight Grass, the leaves were silver-white, and each leaf had fine starlight patterns.
This kind of immortal herb only appeared in records from the ancient Primordial period and was a supreme auxiliary medicine for cultivating the physical body.
Su Chen held the Starlight Grass in his palm and guided a trace of medicinal power into his body, feeling the nourishment of the medicinal power to his physical body as real.
"These immortal herbs seem to be real." He said.
"Not an illusion?" Sun Wukong asked.
"No." Su Chen looked around, his gaze deep. "This might be the interior space of the Mount Buzhou ruins, an independent space wrapped in Pangu baleful energy and isolated from the outside world. The Pangu baleful energy outside might be the barrier of this small world; we should have been accidentally swept in by that space-time storm."
"Brother, don't just stand there; pick more heavenly treasures; the opportunity is rare."
Sun Wukong heard Su Chen's words and rushed toward the Ten-Thousand-Year Emerald Spirit Fruit tree without a second thought, leaping onto the canopy in a few strokes, picking while stuffing them into his mouth.
Su Chen searched along the gentle slope in an orderly manner, picking the immortal herbs one by one and putting them into his spatial magic treasure.
"Brother, come over and look at this."
Su Chen discovered a patch of bright red spirit medicine in a bush.
Those spirit medicines had their roots deep in the earth, and the leaves were burning with faint flames, emitting a scorching aura.
Red Sun Fire Lotus Grass, a supreme treasure of the fire element.
He was about to pick it when Sun Wukong behind him suddenly stopped his movements.
The monkey jumped down from the tree, his golden pupils contracted sharply, and he stared fixedly at the depths of the ancient forest in the distance.
Su Chen also felt it; the earth was trembling, and something extremely heavy was approaching.
"Roar!"
A roar came from the depths of the ancient forest.
The sound was vast and ancient, shaking the spiritual rain in the sky, and even the five-colored rays of light dimmed.
Su Chen's Returning Ruins Divine Axe was already gripped tightly.
The canopy of the ancient forest shook violently, and then it was pushed aside by a savage force.
Ancient trees dozens of feet high were pushed aside like straw, and a huge figure stepped out from the forest.
It was a strange beast that Su Chen had never seen before.
Its body was like a mountain, and its four limbs were as thick as heavenly pillars. Its body was covered with pitch-black scales, and each scale was carved with ancient patterns formed naturally.
Its head had a pair of curved black horns, and at the tips of the horns, tangible gang energy was condensed.
The strange beast had blood-red eyes, locking onto Su Chen and Sun Wukong.
The aura of a Great Luo Golden Immortal level poured out from its body.
Sun Wukong still had half an Emerald Spirit Fruit in his mouth and cursed vaguely.
"Picking a broken fruit doesn't even let one have peace."
The Ruyi Jingu Bang flew out from his ear, swelling to a length of a dozen feet, and was gripped in one hand. ===== CHAPTER 334 =====
