Chapter 1911: Chapter 1633: Trouble
After devouring the Power of Flesh and Blood of several Barbarian Demons, Lin Mo finally retracted the dark red vines he had extended, feeling the strength in his whole body grow a bit again, though there was still a large gap before the ’Extreme Dao’ Realm.
"Even if I absorb the Power of Flesh and Blood of Advanced Realm Generals of the Barbarian Demons, the effect is still slowly diminishing. Could it be that I have to hunt World Marquis Level Beasts to cultivate the Blood Demon Vine to the ’Extreme Dao’ Realm?" Lin Mo mused inwardly.
"Mr. Lin."
Zhenyang suddenly came to stand in front of Lin Mo and bowed respectfully.
"Oh? What is it?" Lin Mo glanced at him.
Over the last half year, after witnessing Lin Mo’s bizarre methods, Zhenyang had already developed a sense of fear toward him. Lin Mo also wasn’t worried that Zhenyang would dare play any little tricks.
"Mr. Lin, according to the Star Sky Coordinates recorded on the Jade Silk, we’re already close to the node indicated above. About three million kilometers away from us, there is a mountain peak," Zhenyang said rapidly.
"Alright, we’ll go over and wait for the others," Lin Mo nodded.
According to the records on the Jade Silk Zhenyang had acquired, the first node was on that mountain peak. But the Jade Silk was not complete, merely a broken fragment. To find the true location of the treasure, they had to wait until the others reached the mountain and gather together.
Lin Mo and Zhenyang did not take a spaceship; they flew alone, streaking toward the mountain recorded on the Jade Silk.
After about the time it takes two sticks of incense to burn, a gigantic mountain whose summit could not be seen appeared in Lin Mo’s field of vision. Fierce winds howled over the mountain, occasionally accompanied by flashes of Thunder and firelight flickering within, shrouding the entire mountain. Just looking at it gave one a suffocating sense of oppression.
"Fenglei Mountain?"
Lin Mo and Zhenyang arrived at the foot of the mountain. Gathering True Yuan in his palm, Lin Mo grabbed a Meteorite weighing several dozen tons and casually tossed it into Fenglei Mountain as if it weighed nothing.
In an instant, once the several-dozen-ton Meteorite entered Fenglei Mountain, it was rapidly blasted to powder by the fierce winds and Thunder surrounding the mountain and vanished from sight.
"Such terrifying destructive power? I’m afraid even some Star Domain Level fellows would be reduced directly to dust once they entered the mountain," Zhenyang’s eyes widened as he exclaimed.
"Hm?"
Lin Mo’s Sword Eyebrow furrowed tightly as he stared at Fenglei Mountain and said, "Let’s walk in from below and take a look. If we can’t hold on, we’ll withdraw immediately."
"Alright." Zhenyang nodded.
The two of them didn’t dare fly directly into the central region of Fenglei Mountain; who knew how powerful the Wind and Thunder Power there might be. If they weren’t careful, both of them could be eroded by the Wind and Thunder Power and turned into a cloud of dust, dissipating with the wind.
Starting from the mountain foot, Lin Mo and Zhenyang covered their whole bodies with True Yuan and began climbing step by step toward the peak. The higher they went, the stronger the Wind and Thunder Power became, constantly wearing away at the True Yuan covering their bodies.
Moreover, the higher they went, the faster their True Yuan was consumed.
Lin Mo was still alright; the True Essence Power in his body was already comparable to that of an Advanced Realm Generals, and with the perverse defensive power and healing ability of the Soft armor formed by the Blood Demon Vine, even if some Wind and Thunder Power that he failed to block penetrated the True Essence Barrier and slashed against the Blood Demon Vine Soft armor, leaving a shallow mark, it could quickly heal and return to normal.
But it was far from so easy for Zhenyang. He had to burn his True Yuan to resist the erosion of the Wind and Thunder Power and keep his nerves taut at all times. If he slipped up and the Wind and Thunder Power broke through his True Essence Barrier and slashed his body, he did not possess the kind of perverse defensive power and healing ability Lin Mo had.
After advancing upward for about three thousand kilometers, Lin Mo’s brows knit ever more tightly.
He had somewhat underestimated the Wind and Thunder Power interwoven within Fenglei Mountain. The higher they went, the stronger the Wind and Thunder Power became, and even he felt that the speed at which the True Yuan on his body surface was being eroded was about to surpass the speed at which he could condense new True Yuan.
"Mr. Lin, we can’t go any further. My True Yuan is already almost unable to keep up. If we keep going, I’ll soon be eroded into residue by the Wind and Thunder Power," Zhenyang said, his expression ugly and pained.
"Mm, then we’ll sit here and wait for the others," Lin Mo nodded.
If they continued upward, he wasn’t confident he could reach higher. Perhaps only when the others arrived and they assembled the complete pattern on the Jade Silk could they find the precise location of the treasure.
The two of them found a huge dark rock in the region suffused with Wind and Thunder Power that could somewhat block some of it.
The stones on Fenglei Mountain were also very peculiar. They all displayed a Metal-like dark luster and were incomparably hard. At the very least, the Wind and Thunder Power could almost not leave any marks on their surfaces.
Sheltering beneath a huge dark rock, the pressure on Lin Mo and Zhenyang was greatly reduced.
Zhenyang heaved a long sigh and said, "The rocks on Fenglei Mountain really are strange. They’ve been eroded by Wind and Thunder Power for so many years, yet they haven’t been destroyed?"
His words aroused Lin Mo’s curiosity. Lin Mo grabbed a palm-sized dark stone, wanting to pick it up, but suddenly froze. "Eh, I can’t lift it?"
With his strength, even without using True Yuan he could easily lift Meteorites weighing several dozen tons. Yet this palm-sized dark stone seemed to have fused as one with the entire Fenglei Mountain. Not only could he not lift it, he had no way to damage it either.
After trying a few more times, Lin Mo confirmed that every stone on Fenglei Mountain, including some of the small pebbles, was connected integrally with the entire mountain. They could not be damaged, much less lifted alone.
Suppressing the doubts in his heart, Lin Mo simply stopped paying attention to the strange rocks of Fenglei Mountain and sat down cross-legged to breathe and replenish his consumption.
The universe was vast, and there was nothing it did not contain.
A place like Fenglei Mountain should also be one of the extremely unique and rare existences in the universe.
According to Lin Mo’s deduction, if one did not have the corresponding method, even a Realm Emperor would not be able to reach the summit of Fenglei Mountain.
Because the higher one climbed toward the summit, the stronger the Wind and Thunder Power one had to face. Once at the summit, how terrifying would that Wind and Thunder Power be? Even Lin Mo didn’t dare imagine it lightly.
After waiting for three days, Lin Mo opened his eyes and finally sensed two auras constantly drawing closer to their position. Without the standard route indicated on the Jade Silk, it would be difficult to encounter others even after entering Fenglei Mountain, because Fenglei Mountain itself was enormous, and the Wind and Thunder Power cut off Divine Thought. Divine Thought could only extend within a few hundred meters around them; once extended further, it would be eroded and obstructed by the Wind and Thunder Power.
"Mr. Lin, someone should be coming. They’re the same as us; they also obtained a Jade Silk and are following the route recorded on it to rendezvous with us," Zhenyang said excitedly.
Lin Mo immediately cast Magic to alter his appearance, then took the Ghostly Compassionate Netherfire Spirit as his main soul. His entire body instantly exuded a faintly dark aura, and his cultivation also appeared to be that of a normal High-level Star Domain Realm.
After all, he was currently a World General wanted by the Star Sky Alliance, and also carrying a one-million-points bounty posted by the Demon Clan and the Barbarian Demons.
He still needed to keep a low profile. Otherwise, if he attracted a large number of Star Sky Alliance Advanced Realm Generals and Advanced Realm Generals of the Demon Clan Barbarian Demons, it would be very troublesome.
