Heading to the Divine Desolation

"Yun'er, that Divine Desolation Army Camp... do you really want to go?"

Jiang Xiaorou bit her lip, looking at Yi Yun with a complicated expression.

Yi Yun didn't tell Jiang Xiaorou about the mortality rate of the Divine Desolation Army Camp, but Jiang Xiaorou still managed to find out the situation of the Divine Desolation Army Camp.

A 15% mortality rate coupled with a 5% disability rate is truly heartbreaking.

"I'll be fine," Yi Yun said earnestly.

Hearing Yi Yun's words, Jiang Xiaorou's lips moved as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn't say anything.

In the end, she simply hugged Yi Yun gently. She knew that Yi Yun had the life he wanted, and she couldn't change the things he had decided.

A wild horse gallops, destined for its own grassland...

Jiang Xiaorou brought everything she could to Yi Yun, and sewed a close-fitting bag for Yi Yun, with the word "Rou" embroidered on it, and the divine pattern believed by the people of the wilderness on the back to pray for blessings. She also sewed the life-saving talisman paper Su Jie left behind at that time inside, hoping it would keep Yi Yun safe...

And so, Yi Yun embarked on his journey...

On the third day, which was also the appointed day, just as dawn was breaking, Yi Yun, carrying a human-sized animal hide bundle, waited early at the training ground of the Brocade Dragon Guard camp.

Before long, Song Zijun's figure came into Yi Yun's view.

The two nodded, then fell silent, both gazing in the direction of Shenhuang.

Their upright figures resembled two straight javelins.

As the first golden rays appeared alongside the soaring sun, a verdant shadow emerged on the distant horizon. This shadow grew larger and larger, soon obscuring the sky above the training ground.

Yi Yun looked up and clicked his tongue in amazement. This was Floating Sky Ship, which Yi Yun had seen Lin Xin Tong ride back in Yunhuang.

This military Floating Sky Ship was much larger than the one Lin Xin Tong was on, but it lacked some of its exquisite craftsmanship.

The Floating Sky Ship are a source of pride for the Tai'a Divine Kingdom, especially the Floating Sky Ship that can traverse the Divine Wilderness, which are known as Divine Ship. These ships are crafted by many master craftsmen of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom, and the metal materials used are engraved with great arrays by array masters. They possess super strong defense and many offensive magic treasures to resist the attacks of flying beasts in the Divine Wilderness.

The renowned Divine Ship Fleet of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom is composed entirely of Divine Ship and is one of the symbols of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom's national power.

As the Divine Ship slowly descended, its teardrop-shaped, rounded belly gleamed with a cold metallic luster under the morning light. Mysterious and ancient runes were imprinted in some places, enveloping the Floating Sky Ship in a hazy and sacred aura.

Seeing such a powerful Floating Sky Ship, Yi Yun felt a surge of excitement. This was the first time he had ever ridden such a giant flying magical artifact.

He gripped the selection certificate for the Divine Wilderness Legion tightly in his hand.

Buzz--

The Floating Sky Ship roared and, hovering a hundred meters in the air, halted its descent.

A dark iron chain, as thick as a water bucket, crashed down from the belly of the Floating Sky Ship, slamming into Yi Yun and Song Zijun with a loud thud.

The heavy iron chains kicked up clouds of dust.

Standing at the hatch in the belly of the shuttle was a bald, thin middle-aged man with his hands tucked into his sleeves, looking down at Yi Yun and Song Zijun on the ground.

"Are you the Divine Desolation Army Camp trainees selected by the Brocade Dragon Guard's Tiandu City branch this time? Show me your credentials!" A powerful voice entered Yi Yun's ears, as if it were ringing right next to him.

Yi Yun agreed to Song Zijun's request and flew the selection certificate in his hand upwards.

After carefully examining their credentials, the bald, middle-aged man nodded. "Alright. Come up this chain."

Yi Yun and Song Zijun quickly climbed up the iron chain, only to find that the chain was slippery and coated with layers of tung oil.

This is probably a small test.

However, this kind of test was no problem for Yi Yun and Song Zijun. The two secretly gathered their strength and climbed up like nimble monkeys in a few moves.

Yi Yun, in particular, climbed as if walking on flat ground, which made the middle-aged team leader watching from above take a few more glances at him.

Once inside the Floating Cloud Flying Boat, Team Leader Zhou led them to the northeast corner of the boat, carefully explained some rules and regulations for using the boat, and then left on his own.

As soon as Team Leader Zhou left, Yi Yun looked around and carefully observed the surroundings.

Inside the Floating Sky Ship, there were already more than twenty people seated.

Presumably, they were all selected from neighboring cities; there are so many people just around Tiandu City.

These people all had sharp eyes and vigorous vitality.

Some people even continued their cultivation on the flying boat, meditating and regulating their breathing, exhaling loudly, their fists clapping fiercely, without the slightest relaxation.

This made Yi Yun gasp. As expected, those selected for the Divine Desolation Army Camp were all extraordinary individuals!

Yi Yun didn't say much to anyone. He sat down in his seat and began to meditate and regulate his breathing.

The Divine Ship quickly flew out of the Tiandu City area. Near Tiandu City, more than a dozen people boarded the Divine Ship. Then it flew to more than ten cities, picking up more than a hundred people in total.

Then, it seemed that no one else wanted to come aboard. The Divine Ship flew higher and higher, until it reached the clouds. The formation was activated at full power, whistling through the air like thunder.

Yi Yun couldn't help but open his eyes and look out the window.

The scenery of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom is absolutely magnificent!

Being able to enjoy the vast landscape is a form of training and experience for someone like Yi Yun, who came from a remote and uncivilized tribe.

Outside the flying boat, Yi Yun soon saw a vast and surging river. This river was hundreds of miles wide, and dark shadows rose and fell in the river. Suddenly, the shadows surged out. It was a Giant Beast many times larger than a whale. It leaped out of the water, bit off a giant bird that was flying in the air, and then dived back into the water.

Yi Yun was astonished; he had never seen such a ferocious aquatic Giant Beast before.

He had also seen strange birds in the boundless desert, their wingspans reaching hundreds of feet, causing even Floating Sky Ship to bob and sink.

I have also seen countless islands in the vast ocean emerge from their shells to drink water and spew out divine rainbows; they are actually enormous Giant Turtle.

The various strange sights and exotic animals left Yi Yun in awe and broadened his horizons.

The Tai'a Divine Kingdom is vast and boundless; Floating Sky Ship would crash into a towering and enormous fortress after only a few days of flight.

Within the fortress lies a magnificent array, with countless crystals piled up like mountains, and bursts of energy radiance shooting into the sky.

This is the ultra-long-distance teleportation array of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom.

Otherwise, the Tai'a Divine Kingdom is too vast and the Divine Wilderness is too far away. Traveling by Floating Sky Ship alone would take a very long time. The only way to teleport is to rely on the great array left behind by the ancient powerful beings.

Yi Yun counted that the great formation he was in had entered such a magnificent fortress three times, and had conducted three long-distance teleportations, traveling a distance of tens of millions of miles.

In this way, they reached the vast wilderness near the Divine Wilderness.

Yi Yun originally lived in Jingzhou, which was adjacent to Yunhuang and very close to the Lian Clan. However, Shenhuang was on the other side of the Divine Kingdom. To get from Jingzhou to Shenhuang, one had to cross most of the Tai'a Divine Kingdom!

The journey is too far.

The setting sun, like blood, cast its last rays upon the Floating Sky Ship.

On the floating cloud boat, there were a few dents and potholes. Even though a great array was hidden in the extraordinary metal to protect the Divine Ship, the group encountered two groups of wild beasts on their journey, leaving some marks on the metal.

"Divine Wasteland! We've arrived at Divine Wasteland!"

Inside the Divine Ship, someone shouted, and people rushed to the main hall to look outside.

Yi Yun raised an eyebrow and looked out through the glass window of the flying boat. He was surprised to see the distant horizon where the mist had dissipated.

A sense of wildness seemed to rush towards us.

Aww--

The roar shook heaven and earth.

Below them, dust billowed everywhere, and within the dust, many enormous Giant Beast galloped about, their hooves thundering like lightning.

On the distant horizon, a black forest stretches out, with giant trees reaching straight to the sky like pillars supporting the heavens.

A clear, sharp cry rang out in the sky, as if a raptor, like a mountain range, swooped down with talons as sharp as swords, snatching a ferocious beast with a lion's nose and an elephant's body from the hazy dust, leaving a trail of blood across the sky.

Further away, towering mountains pierce the clouds, their peaks shimmering with a soft, ethereal light, like a fairyland. But within this fairyland, black spider silk occasionally shoots forth, capturing passing Giant Beast...

Some peaks are bare and lifeless, their summits shrouded by the massive body of a reclining lion or tiger, whose slumber sounds like thunder.

The Floating Sky Ship, having arrived here, have become more cautious, traversing at even higher altitudes.

Below the flying boat, the mountain peaks stretched endlessly, and the towering ridges seemed to have no end.

From time to time, one can also see large areas of dark swamps and scorching deserts.

In these places, one can see snow-white skeletons resembling mountain peaks.

"So this is the Divine Wilderness...?"

Yi Yun took a deep breath; the Divine Wilderness was truly vast and terrifying.

"Look, isn't that the Blaze Beast!"

Suddenly someone spoke up. Yi Yun looked down and saw a mountain-like corpse on the wasteland below the flying boat. Lava-like flames were flowing from the gaps in the bones of the corpse. This seemed to be the Blaze Beast.

But now, the Blaze Beast has been killed, its internal organs exposed, and a giant bird with seven-colored wings is perched on it, devouring its flesh and blood.

Yi Yun's eyelids twitched slightly. He knew that the Blaze Beast also existed in the Yunhuang, and Blaze Beast was very famous there. However, in the Divine Wilderness, it had become the prey of a seven-colored ferocious bird.

The Divine Wilderness was indeed fraught with danger at every turn, making one's heart tremble. Compared to the Yunhuang, it was simply not in the same league.

Yunhuang is actually a barren land. The Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi in Yunhuang is very thin, so it cannot nurture any extraordinary Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures or powerful wild beasts.

As for Giant Beast from the primordial era, Ancient Remnant Species, there are none of those.

The Great Wilderness of Yunhuang have all gone to the Desolate Ruins north of the Barren Human Valley. The Desolate Ruins and Yunhuang are now two different places.

But the Divine Wilderness is different; it is a place where countless ancient and Giant Beast gather.

While ordinary people can still struggle to survive in the Yunhuang, there are no ordinary people in the Divine Wilderness. It's a sparsely populated place, but legend has it that some mysterious clans inhabit it, possessing unique bloodlines that are both enigmatic and powerful! (To be continued~^~)
