Chapter 1280: Chapter 1277: Second Layer
If the people of the Kunlun Ruins knew their objective was so easily revealed by Jiang Ya, one wonders what expression they would have.
However, the people of the Kunlun Ruins are on the Jade Plate, separated by a distance from Ye Xuan and the others, so they are unaware of this matter.
As Ye Xuan ntioned, the nurous strong experts from Great Emperor Immortal Sects who ventured to the Death Netherworld did so not because they found it entertaining.
Each of them has their own mission.
The Kunlun Ruins ventured there because there is a treasure left by their ancestors in the Death Netherworld, which is of great use to them, prompting them to risk death.
Other Great Emperor Immortal Sects have similar objectives.
As for other forces, they naturally wish to follow behind to gain so rewards.
“Ah———”
While everyone was pondering, curse runes began catching up with people at the back. After so struggle, they precisely ceased moving, turning into zombies.
However, with Qi Changsheng’s suppression, these zombies did not dare pursue Ye Xuan and the others.
After all, even the Sea Patrol Yaksha was suppressed by Qi Changsheng there.
Once Ye Xuan and the others had flown far away, the black aura around Qi Changsheng suddenly surged, and his figure disappeared.
When he reappeared, he was already beside Ye Xuan.
Swish, swish, swish ————
Under the pursuit of curse runes, everyone cut through with the fastest speed.
Between the First Layer of Cursed Land and the Second Layer of Cursed Land spans hundreds of thousands of miles.
However, for them, it’s not much at all. Soon enough, they reached the Second Layer of Cursed Land.
During this journey, cultivators from many first-rate and second-rate powers perished.
As for most loose cultivators, they died out mostly.
A few, like the Vajra Divine Son, survived by luck.
Sword of Sacred Land’s descendant, Jian Chenzi, had an astounding performance, battling through the curse runes alone with his sword.
Following him was the Dragon Demon of the White Dragon Mountain Range, equally astounding.
Upon reaching the Second Layer of Cursed Land, no curse runes from the First Layer pursued them anymore.
Once people entered the Second Layer of Cursed Land, the curse runes ceased advancing.
This allowed everyone to catch their breath.
Yet Ye Xuan had no intention of stopping, continuing to lead them forward.
The Second Layer of Cursed Land is a primordial forest with towering trees, each reaching several kiloters tall.
Ye Xuan navigated the group through the woods.
After advancing less than a thousand ters, a giant tree ahead suddenly ca to life, sweeping its branches towards Ye Xuan.
On it, there were also curse runes present.
Bang!
But Qi Changsheng acted even faster, sweeping a hand, as black aura enveloped and entangled the giant tree, destroying it completely.
“Be wary of those large trees.”
The following Kunlun Ruins crowd ca, witnessing this scene, and said solemnly.
Others followed suit, attempting to destroy the trees.
Rumble, rumble, rumble ————
Various Divine Skills erged, aiming to decimate those giant trees completely.
Yet, when the dust settled, the crowd was astounded.
The trees remained intact, standing unhard as before.
“What’s going on?”
Soone from Sealing Demon Mountain shouted.
“Let us try.” A strong cultivator in the Supre Realm from the Fla Palace said deeply.
Seeing their five fingers twist in the void, a series of flas ignited in the air, then their fingers flicked to send five fiery dragons, each thousands of feet, into the air, encircling the surrounding trees, burning.
A massive conflagration abruptly ford.
“Are you courting death!?”
But this inadvertently provoked soone from Sealing Demon Mountain, igniting conflict between both sides.
Situated next to each other, tensions frequently arose between Sealing Demon Mountain and the Fla Palace.
Inside this Death Netherworld, both had suffered losses, with pent-up anger.
Now, the incident inflad tempers, leading both to the brink of battle.
Snap, crackle, pop ————
The five fiery dragons blazed, crackling in the sky.
Yet soon, those fiery dragons vanished without a trace.
And those trees, stood unscathed.
“What’s going on?”
The crowd, ready to fight, turned pale, witnessing that scene.
“These trees also hide curse runes, do not act rashly,” Southern Dipper Ancient Country’s Seventh Prince warned solemnly.
“Avoid them as much as possible.”
The Seventh Prince urged the Southern Dipper Ancient Country people and its forces carefully forward.
By then, Ye Xuan and his group had reached the forefront, having traversed most of the primordial forest.
“Stay alert.”
At this ti, Ye Xuan reminded everyone.
The Second Layer of Cursed Land differs from the First Layer, seeming safer ahead but increasingly dangerous further in.
The relative safety ahead only lulls one into complacency.
If still relaxed once deeper in, it is a path to doom.
With Ye Xuan’s warning, everyone grew tense.
“There’s soone there!”
Huo Tianhao from Immortal Crossing Sect suddenly shouted quietly, pointing sowhere.
Turning to see, they noticed soone crouched on a large branch of a towering tree, clad in ancient white robes, with a blank expression but offering a bizarre smile at their gaze.
Subsequently, that person vanished.
“Pay it no mind,” Ye Xuan calmly stated, “That’s just a zombie of the Triple Layers of Curses.”
“But…” Huo Tianhao’s face turned pale, “I feel that guy’s stronger than the Sea Patrol Yaksha.”
Fu Baishi and Zuo Yongqing also looked stern.
They sensed it too.
Though the figure seed harmless, its aura evoked anxiety.
It appeared to exceed Great Venerate Realm in terror!
Such beings are not absent in Great Emperor Immortal Sects.
Yet, due to Heavenly Dao Suppression, they never reveal themselves.
Had they attacked, their party would likely face complete annihilation.
Ye Xuan opted not to explain.
Huo Tianhao wasn’t wrong; in life, its strength indeed surpassed Great Venerate Realm.
Stronger even than the Sea Patrol Yaksha.
Yet, it’s not the true threat.
The threat lies ahead in the curse tree.
It’s the most fearso entity in the Second Layer of Cursed Land.
As it’s the source tree of curse runes here!
“Seems we can’t avoid it,” Ye Xuan murmured inwardly.
That figure likely served as the curse tree’s sentinel.
In the Nine-layered Curse Land, each curse rune differs, but the cursed dead aren’t affected.
Cursed dead under the Triple Layers of Curses can still reach the First Layer of Cursed Land.
