Heaven Slaying Blade

Chapter 1428: The Three Forbidden Zones


Black Rain Forbidden Land, Withered Leaf Forbidden Land, Yellow Stone Forbidden Land. These are the three forbidden zones of the Trial Field. These three forbidden zones are located in three different star domains respectively. The Trial Field is vast, sprawling across numerous star domains. The three forbidden zones are not adjacent to each other, with each one being far apart.

Among them, the Black Rain Forbidden Land is known as the foremost of the three forbidden zones. This is the easiest place to trap people because, when the black rain is not falling, it looks no different from other parts of the Trial Field. Mountains criss-cross, lakes proliferate, rivers run long, presenting a scene brimming with vibrancy. The spirit energy here goes without saying; it is extremely rich. Any being that walks here would not feel any danger. Instead, they might consider this a treasured cultivation haven.

However, no one can accurately predict when the black rain will fall. The black rain, destroyer of all beings. It can easily obliterate the cultivation paths of living beings, yet it does not harm the flowers, plants, and trees here in the slightest.

Especially when the black rain begins to fall, the entire forbidden land exudes a particularly strange power. This power draws in all cultivators, prohibiting them from using any divine abilities or spells. They can only bear the black rain of the skies with their flesh and blood, letting it erode their paths of cultivation.

Every year, a vast number of people and non-human beings die in the Black Rain Forbidden Land. Many cultivators, fully aware of the dangers of the Black Rain Forbidden Land, still gamble with luck and venture here. Because here, one can obtain an abundance of top-grade medicinal herbs, rare minerals, and... inconceivable chances.

These opportunities might be sudden insights into the Great Dao; a naturally formed cultivation technique; or an extremely rare divine metal... One may even encounter ancient divine sense fragments. No one knows to whom these fragments once belonged, but each fragment is incredibly powerful. Securing just one piece can be of great assistance even to saints.

The black rain is omnipresent, even if you delve tens of thousands of miles underground, you still cannot escape its influence.

There are also terrifying beings within the Black Rain Forbidden Land, which, in the eyes of countless people, might even be more dreadful than the black rain itself.

Murderous trees, murderous grass, murderous stones... In the Black Rain Forbidden Land, anything you absolutely wouldn't expect could become a fearsome killer and launch a fatal attack on you.

This is more unpredictable than the black rain.

The Withered Leaf Forbidden Land, also known as the place Zi Dao mentioned that imprisons that monkey, is another deadly zone. The reason it is called Withered Leaf mainly serves as a metaphor. All living beings, as long as they are cultivators with a path of cultivation in their bodies, once they enter the Withered Leaf Forbidden Land, their paths of cultivation will fall like withered leaves with the wind, continuously dwindling away.

Moreover, this is an irreversible process!

Which means, no matter who it is, if they enter into such a place, their path of cultivation will inevitably be damaged!

But this damage is an extremely slow process, and it won't immediately be felt by anyone. The more powerful the cultivator appears, the less they seem to care about this loss. But in fact, the opposite is true. The more powerful the being, the more they cannot afford to lose their own path of cultivation.

Within the Withered Leaf Forbidden Land, there are several key locations, and once one breaks into those places, the rate of cultivation loss immediately increases exponentially!

The key problem is, before breaking in, you wouldn't know which place is the most dangerous.

Some areas in the Withered Leaf Forbidden Land also emit a deadly poison. Even a Great Saint would be infected by this poison. With a wide variety of toxins, it's a veritable assortment. Once poisoned, one must escape immediately, or else they will be poisoned to death. Even if one manages to escape, finding an antidote may not be guaranteed. Even a supreme being could be helpless.

Therefore, the Withered Leaf Forbidden Land is also known as the land of deadly poison.

If the Black Rain Forbidden Land is regarded as the leader of the three forbidden zones, known for its heaviest killing aura, then the Withered Leaf Forbidden Land is the most venomous place, like a venomous snake, eyeing every creature that approaches it.

The last one, the Yellow Stone Forbidden Land.

It is said that within the Yellow Stone Forbidden Land there are yellow stones of various sizes scattered everywhere. On these stones, all kinds of Dao patterns naturally grow. Some Dao patterns resemble mountains and rivers; others are like the night sky full of stars; and some are flora and fauna. All the yellow stones are exceptionally exquisite, and the scenery on them is lifelike and vivid.

Such objects, seen by anyone, are irresistible to collect a few to place in their home, truly top-tier collectibles.

But if anyone were to do so, death likely wouldn't be far behind.

Because each of the beautifully adorned stones in the Yellow Stone Forbidden Land contains... real scenarios! You never know when they might suddenly suck in a passing being and then trap them there forever.

It is said that a Great Saint Realm cultivator once refused to believe the legends and wanted to experience it first-hand, choosing a stone with a mountain and river landscape. Then, he got sucked into it.

Before many witnesses, this Great Saint Realm cultivator was trapped inside the yellow stone for a full seventy years. When many thought the Great Saint was likely to have perished, he burst out of the stone, covered in blood, and subsequently, the stone shattered.

Afterward, the Great Saint recounted his experiences inside the yellow stone. According to his own account, the world inside the stone was not at all terrifying and resembled the scenery on the stone itself, a world full of beautiful and divine vistas. But the key problem is that this world had no spirit energy, essence energy, and one couldn't cultivate or even use any paths of cultivation there!

Meaning, once you enter, you are practically discarded. You can only be hopelessly trapped there. Moreover, the flow of time inside differs from the outside. According to the Great Saint himself, he was only inside for seven days!

But outside, in the entirely law-abiding cosmos like Luotian's Immortal Domain, seventy years had already passed!

The vastness of the world is such that nothing is impossible. Even beings like the Great Saints, who roam freely across Heaven and Earth, cannot explain everything.

In the end, that Great Saint could only burn his own essence blood and shatter that world to force his way out. It is because of beings like him that if a saint ventured in, they would likely be trapped to death.

After that incident, the notoriety of the Yellowstone Forbidden Lands was fully recognized. Prior to this, anyone who entered had never returned. Now, with a Great Saint personally tested, the ultimate secret of the Yellowstone Forbidden Lands was finally uncovered.

Since then, almost no one dared to enter the Yellowstone Forbidden Lands.

The three major Forbidden Lands, although the Black Rain Forbidden Land is ranked number one, in reality, each of the Forbidden Lands has its own perils. It's truly hard to say which is the most dreadful.

Some have joked, don't rank the Forbidden Lands at all, because you only have one chance to try—no matter which Forbidden Land you enter, there's no coming back.

Therefore, even the Heavenly Geniuses in the Trial Field, who all have invincible confidence in themselves, when it comes to the three major Forbidden Lands, nobody boasts that they dare to enter lightly. Even those top powers from various domains would not easily venture into these places.

Now, the three brothers who have just sworn brotherhood were actually plotting together to enter the Withered Leaf Forbidden Land. If this news got out, it would definitely cause a huge uproar.

Countless people would say they were insane, that they must be tired of living to even think about going to such a place. Especially what they must keep secret at all costs is the purpose of their entry.

To release that monkey? That's simply seeking death!

If the news were to spread, perhaps the three wouldn't even reach the entrance of the Withered Leaf Forbidden Land before being slaughtered by the multitude of powers rushing over upon hearing the news!

It's practically an action that would pierce the heavens.

Death-seeking isn't even done this way.

But to these brothers, only by releasing that monkey can they thoroughly stir the still waters of the vast Luotian cosmos. It would make those supreme beings, who normally pay no heed to them, even more distracted, and force the Great Saints who could take action against them at any moment to tread as if on thin ice, neither daring nor having the energy to focus on these little shrimps.

"Only then will we have a moment to catch our breath, and what we lack the most is that time," Zi Dao whispered, "The key really lies with the third brother..."

Chu Mo nodded, looking at Zi Dao and Liu Yunfeng with an apologetic expression: "In the end, it's still dragging you guys down with me..."

Liu Yunfeng waved his hand: "Living a life, one ought to have some ideals and pursuits. Cultivation is just a way to fulfill those ideals. Although many people may find the pursuit of ideals laughable, I will hold onto mine."

"So, what is your ideal, second brother?" Zi Dao asked with a smile.

"To accomplish something great, to pierce through this rotten sky!" Liu Yunfeng said earnestly.

"This sky... indeed it's rotten. I feel the same way even in the Tian Gang Domain, and in the Luotian Immortal Domain, this feeling is even clearer. It's about time the color of this sky changed," Zi Dao said indifferently.

Such a conversation was simply astounding. Any sentence, if leaked, may bring upon them fatal disaster, yet the three of them looked excited.

Zi Dao looked at Chu Mo with a smile: "The third brother has always been in that sealed world and may not understand many things. In truth, within this Trial Field, there are many who share our thoughts. Some matters are really just not voiced, not led by anyone."

Chu Mo nodded, then said with a smile: "Rebelling against authority has always been the most exhilarating thing."

"Hahaha, third brother speaks the truth, befitting of someone who has struggled through the mortal realm," Liu Yunfeng laughed heartily.

Zi Dao also showed a smile: "Let's go, to the Withered Leaf Forbidden Land! To rebel against authority!"

The three brothers were not the type to procrastinate. Once a decision was made, they didn't look back or hesitate.

Action speaks louder than words!

Decisive and swift!
