Chapter 257: This Is a Deadly Forbidden Land

“Damn it…” Qinghuo snorted angrily, flicking his sleeve, and the sky-covering giant hand instantly dissipated. These rogue cultivators were truly infuriating.

“All disciples, assemble and enter the forbidden land. Whenever you encounter these rogue cultivators, kill them all.” Qinghuo said with a frosty face. He feared that one of these rogue cultivators might be incredibly lucky and obtain some treasure. To avoid this, he ordered his disciples to kill any rogue cultivators they met.

“Yes, Elder.” The disciples of the Blazing Flame Sect nodded.

The other major sects also sent their disciples into the forbidden land, and the Yao family dispatched their clansmen as well.

The King of Qin stood there, looking at the rift, wanting to probe it, but found that it blocked all forms of detection. Moreover, when he touched it, a mysterious force repelled his hand.

Clearly, only martial artists below the Great Heavenly Realm could enter this forbidden land.

…

When Lin Fan leaped into the rift, he immediately entered stealth mode. He didn’t know what the situation was below, so for his own safety, it was better to be cautious.

At that moment, when Lin Fan came to his senses, he was shocked by the scene before him.

“Roar…”

A series of roars echoed throughout the forbidden land.

Lin Fan looked at the ghost-like beasts moving around him, and his heart trembled with fear.

These beasts had no physical bodies; they were all beast spirits.

“Ah…”

Then a series of screams came. Lin Fan focused his gaze and saw that when the rogue cultivators fell from above, they landed among those beast spirits. The red-eyed beast spirits, like wolves and tigers, tore the bodies of those rogue cultivators apart.

Their deaths were extremely gruesome.

Damn… this was completely a trap.

At this moment, Lin Fan realized that this suddenly appearing rift was utterly a death trap.

If he hadn’t entered stealth mode, those beast spirits would surely have discovered him. Although his physical strength could save his life, it was hard to say whether there were powerful beings among these beast spirits.

“Ah… help…”

At that moment, a rogue cultivator landed not far from Lin Fan and was immediately bitten by countless beast spirits, then torn apart, no longer human. The blood gradually seeped into the ground and eventually disappeared.

Lin Fan took a deep breath and looked around. This place was like a mountain of knives and a sea of fire, vast and spacious, with winding paths spiraling downward.

When Lin Fan looked up, he saw steep rock walls above, with no trace of the rift he had entered through.

It seemed that entering through the main gate and entering through this rift were two completely different treatments.

Then Lin Fan observed the surrounding beast spirits; their cultivation levels were all around the Spirit Entering Realm.

If he killed all these dense beast spirits, the experience would be considerable, but now he needed to find the secrets hidden in the Burial Sea Demon Land. Killing beast spirits here would be a waste of time.

Then Lin Fan tried to fly, but found that a force here restricted flight; everything had to be done on foot.

Lin Fan hated these places the most—ugly scenery and so many damn rules.

Lin Fan dodged left and right to avoid touching the beast spirits. At that moment, he saw many caves along the spiraling downward path. Some rogue cultivators with strength had successfully escaped from the beast spirits and fled into the caves in a sorry state.

“Sigh…”

At this moment, Lin Fan sighed. This Burial Sea Demon Land was truly a deadly forbidden land.

Not long after, Lin Fan avoided the beast spirits and successfully entered a cave. Then he noticed a disturbance among the beast spirits.

Lin Fan focused his gaze and saw a man, like a madman, hunting these beast spirits. His roars were like those of a Roman warrior, fierce and fearless.

But in Lin Fan’s eyes, he was like a fool—not searching for treasures but fighting desperately with a group of beast spirits. With so many beast spirits densely packed here, when would he ever finish?

Then Lin Fan didn’t look any further and directly plunged into the cave.

…

In a certain place.

Zou Tenglong stared around, a hint of confusion on his gloomy face.

“No, no, how could the Burial Sea Demon Land have become like this?” Zou Tenglong crushed a beast spirit with one hand and looked at this familiar yet strange place.

“Where exactly is my burial place?” Zou Tenglong burned with rage. Everything had undergone changes he had not anticipated.

Zou Tenglong was no longer the same Zou Tenglong; he was possessed by the jade-white skeleton, which was seeking a person with extraordinary talent as a vessel.

Although Zou Tenglong’s talent was not bad, it was far from meeting the standard.

“Damn bastard, how dare you give my Fate-Reversing Divine Pill, which contains a trace of my divine sense, to a black dog to consume.” Zou Tenglong’s eyes flickered with flames, then he snorted coldly and continued forward.

Lin Fan walked through the cave. The walls were icy cold, and in the dark depths, there seemed to be a power that made Lin Fan’s heart tremble, stirring restlessly.

This Burial Sea Demon Land was definitely problematic. The black light pillar was definitely not emitted by the Seven Sacred Treasure Map. What exactly existed in this Burial Sea Demon Land?

Just then, Lin Fan heard sounds of fighting ahead and immediately went forward.

“Hand over the item.” Zeng Hailong, a disciple of the Blazing Flame Sect, looked at the rogue cultivator before him, a cold smile curling at the corner of his mouth.

After entering from the entrance, Zeng Hailong found that his junior brothers had disappeared, as if they had been scattered by a mysterious force the moment they entered.

For Zeng Hailong, although the danger might increase, it didn’t matter; it actually made it easier to kill and seize treasures.

Zeng Hailong searched along the way and saw a rogue cultivator sneaking around, hiding. So he was delighted, thinking the man must have obtained some treasure.

“Impossible…” The rogue cultivator confronting Zeng Hailong had just found a treasure chest in a cave, containing a pill. Now that someone was blocking his way to rob him, he naturally wouldn’t give it up.

Although he didn’t know what divine pill this was, in this forbidden land, it was definitely no ordinary item.

“Hmph, seeking death…” Zeng Hailong suddenly grew angry. His figure moved like a ghost, and with a flip of his palms, a red rainbow shot toward the rogue cultivator.

Lin Fan emerged from the cave, hiding in stealth, watching the two fight.

Zeng Hailong’s cultivation was at the Great Perfection of the Spirit Entering Realm, while the rogue cultivator was at the mid-stage of the Spirit Entering Realm.

The outcome would be decided in an instant.

“Hmph, overestimating yourself…” Zeng Hailong looked at the rogue cultivator with a pierced chest, snorted disdainfully, and then found the pill.

Zeng Hailong looked at the pill, a slight smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

The quality of a pill could be known by smelling it. This pill had a fragrant aroma; one sniff made the whole body comfortable.

At that moment, Zeng Hailong swallowed the pill. He was a disciple of a major sect, so his judgment was naturally not comparable to that of rogue cultivators. The rogue cultivator dared not take this pill because he didn’t know its use, but Zeng Hailong could guarantee that this pill was one that enhanced strength.

Lin Fan, still in stealth, was about to act but stopped because Zeng Hailong seemed off.

Zeng Hailong, after taking the pill, was still waiting for the changes it would bring, but in that instant… he suddenly clutched his chest, and his brain seemed to stop instantly.

A hint of shock flickered in his confident eyes.

“Ah…” Zeng Hailong suddenly fell to his knees, clutching his head and roaring up to the sky.
