Chapter 522: Chapter 215: Valley of Death, Heaven and Earth’s Favored (Part 3)
Yi Tian might be heading to Zone 43.
This piece of information was quickly relayed by the spies to the indigenous tribe they served.
After finishing his conversation with Qin Fanshuang, Yi Tian ordered Little Black to change routes and head for Zone 64.
At this time, Yi Tian was in Zone 68, still some distance from Zone 64.
According to the map, it would take less than two hours for Yi Tian to reach Zone 64.
During these two hours, Yi Tian obtained information about the Valley of Death from Ta Fang.
The Valley of Death is located at a place called Desperate Mountain.
Desperate Mountain is a ten-thousand-meter-high peak. Its fame doesn’t come from its height—there are many peaks over ten thousand meters in the Sunset Mountain Range.
The belly of Desperate Mountain has a massive chasm.
The giant chasm is a kilometer wide and 2,100 meters high. As for how deep it is, no indigenous person knows.
In the beginning, there was a treasure inside this chasm. The star-level of the treasure is unknown; only that it is ancient, predating the history of the Longlong Tribe.
The indigenous people have explored the treasure chest countless times. Apart from a lucky few who barely made it out alive, most adventurers sleep forever in the depths of Desperate Mountain’s chasm.
Arriving in Zone 64, after reaching Songx Rong’s territory, Yi Tian told Second Child to activate Thousand-Mile Eye.
To the north, west, and south, Second Child saw nothing.
It wasn’t until she followed Yi Tian’s instructions and spotted a mountain fissure that her eyes lit up.
"Daddy, that thing really seems to be in the chasm. But the rift is strange—there’s a force there blocking me, I can’t see to the deepest part." Second Child jumped off Eastsea Falcon’s back and said to Yi Tian.
"Alright!" Yi Tian told Little Black to head for the Valley of Death.
According to Second Child, even the Autumn Beast can’t get into the deepest part of the Valley of Death.
Besides, now’s the perfect time—they could block the Autumn Beast outside the chasm.
With less than two hundred kilometers to go, Little Black and Little Blue flew there in no time.
This ten-thousand-meter peak didn’t exist on Earth—even standing on the back of Eastsea Falcon, Yi Tian felt inexplicably awed.
The steep mountain rose like a sheer cliff, its belly split open by a giant gash, like a wound in the rockface.
All around Desperate Mountain, sand and stones whipped through the air, wild wind howled, and all the Little Kiddos clung tightly to Yi Tian’s clothes.
The Howling Moon Silver Wolf on Little Blue’s back also lowered its head.
Yi Tian handed the Heavenless Bead to Second Child; otherwise Second Child would have a hard time opening her eyes in an environment like this.
"Daddy, I see it—it’s still inside!" Second Child looked up and said to Yi Tian.
"Can you see all the way to the deepest part of the Valley of Death now?" Yi Tian asked Second Child.
"No! There’s a force blocking me. I’m too weak," Second Child shook her head and replied.
"Daddy, the Autumn Beast’s heartbeat changed. It knows we’re here." Second Child used Thousand-Mile Ear.
"Daddy knows."
Entering the Valley of Death was inevitable—the Autumn Beast clearly wanted them to go in.
There was no point in waiting any longer.
Yi Tian had both Eastsea Falcons fly side-by-side into the Valley of Death. If they encountered danger, they would immediately escape using the Mist Scroll.
The two Eastsea Falcons slowed their pace, advancing into the giant chasm. At the same time, Second Child’s Thousand-Mile Eye kept a close watch on the Autumn Beast’s movements.
It was nighttime outside, yet under the stars and moon, there was still some light.
But once inside the chasm, they were shrouded in darkness—so deep even a hand before the eyes couldn’t be seen; an eerie atmosphere hung over everything.
The howling wind poured into the chasm, sounding like heavy, labored breathing—it made the flesh crawl.
The Little Kiddos hated this feeling. They all hugged Yi Tian’s legs, arms, and waist tightly.
Fourth Child even leapt onto Yi Tian’s neck.
Yi Tian felt helpless—he couldn’t leave the Little Kiddos outside, and when it was time to leave, they’d have to all leave together.
Despite the chasm being a kilometer wide, the Eastsea Falcons’ flight wasn’t hindered.
The seven-colored glow in Second Child’s eyes was now their only source of light.
"Daddy, the Autumn Beast moved!" Two minutes after entering the chasm, Second Child warned Yi Tian.
"Second Child, direct Little Black. Don’t let it get away."
Yi Tian said to Second Child, channeling his Spiritual Power to his right eye. He looked and felt that this Valley of Death seemed different—almost like an Array, but not quite.
At this point, Infinite Celestial Eye wasn’t giving him much feedback.
Under Second Child’s guidance, the Eastsea Falcon suddenly sped up and surged ahead.
Yi Tian saw, over three kilometers away, a beast with a tiger’s head and cow’s ears, its body bronze and armored in scales, with wings on its back.

Yi Tian looked at this Autumn Beast and could only say—damn, it’s a real monster!
Offensively, it has domain attacks, three-dimensional enhancements, and Celestial Beast’s Fury.
Defensively, its three-dimensional stats are boosted, then its defense is increased, and finally, it reduces incoming damage.
You need at least 21,000+ attack power to injure the Autumn Beast.
This damage reduction talent is way better than raw Defense Power—it leaves many Lords feeling powerless.
At not even late-stage A-level, to hit above fifteen thousand Attack Power is already terrifying. Even A-level Combat Power Golden List’s Lei Wanjun and Mo Yimie probably couldn’t handle the Autumn Beast in their own regions. That’s because the Autumn Beast starts with a significantly higher cultivation level than the Lords.
Just ten days ago, Zone 10086’s Autumn Beast had three-dimensional stats and Spiritual Power of only about 2400+, but now it’s already 2600+.
If not for Yi Tian’s massive increase in strength, he might not be able to take on the Autumn Beast.
"Moo!"
The Autumn Beast let out a roar, and Yi Tian’s surroundings were suddenly enveloped by a powerful domain. Over a thousand Wind Blades flickered in and out of existence all around him—on his sides, above his head.
Each Wind Blade had at least 7800+ Attack Power.
"That attack range is insane!"
Yi Tian had planned to get closer than two kilometers and wipe out the Autumn Beast directly, but he didn’t expect the Autumn Beast to start its domain attack from more than three thousand meters away.
