Death Desert

Nine-Headed Serpent chased after Yi Yun, and upon seeing Yi Yun enter the God Descending Tower, it, already enraged, did not hesitate and rushed into the God Descending Tower as well!

At this moment, the Nine-Headed Serpent had fully unleashed its primal bestial nature, devoid of any intelligence; it only wanted to devour Yi Yun!

"Boom!"

The injured Jiuying suddenly crashed into the steps of the God Descending Tower. The steps did not budge, but the impact caused Jiuying excruciating pain all over its body.

The space inside the God Descending Tower was vast, and the materials used to God Descending Tower were incredibly sturdy, further enhanced by array formations. Although the Nine-Headed Serpent possessed great destructive power, it caused no disturbance within the God Descending Tower, so Yi Yun confidently allowed it to rush into God Descending Tower.

After entering the God Descending Tower in a rage, the Nine-Headed Serpent turned its nine heads from side to side, and its eighteen eyes scanned every corner around it.

However, it found no trace of Yi Yun.

The enraged Nine-Headed Serpent lashed out with its tail, sweeping wildly as if trying to flatten the place. However, its tail struck the ground and walls without leaving a mark, instead shattering many of its scales and leaving it covered in blood.

Anger!

The Nine-Headed Serpent's eyes were bloodshot as it roamed and roared throughout the hall, its body resembling a volcano about to erupt.

Suddenly, Jiuying raised its head sharply and stared intently at the light gate leading to the second floor of the God Descending Tower.

That human presence seems to be inside that portal of light!

A ferocious glint flashed in Jiuying's eyes, and it immediately pounced.

At this moment, on the fifth floor of the God Descending Tower, with a ripple of light from the portal, Yi Yun's figure appeared in his familiar Yin-Yang cultivation room, and the portal behind him disappeared.

Yi Yun and Lin Xin Tong used this cultivation room together for six years.

"Now I can finally breathe a sigh of relief." Yi Yun's face was pale as he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He had walked on the edge of life and death several times before finally achieving this result.

Not only the portal behind him, but also the God Descending Tower, and even the entrance to the Empress Secret Realm, all closed at the same time.

Jiuying has already been imprisoned in the God Descending Tower.

According to his senses, Jiuying has now arrived in the wasteland on the second level of the God Descending Tower. The portal to the first level has also been closed by Yi Yun.

The Nine-Headed Serpent was trapped on the second level, where the space was large enough for it to go berserk.

With a thought, Yi Yun summoned the illusory image of the God Descending Tower array plate he had refined. Yi Yun traced his finger across the array plate, and rays of light bloomed forth...

Afterward, Yi Yun ignored the nine-headed infantry and sat down cross-legged on the ground, gently closing his eyes...

In the wasteland of the second level of the God Descending Tower, the Nine-Headed Serpent was rapidly traversing through it.

Its appearance made many wild beasts tremble with fear, and they all cowered in their caves, afraid to move.

The Nine-Headed Serpent raged across the ground, anxiously searching for Yi Yun's whereabouts.

When it first entered, it could sense Yi Yun's presence coming from somewhere here, but in the blink of an eye, Yi Yun had completely vanished without a trace.

This result greatly annoyed Jiu Ying.

It was just a small fish, something that could be swallowed whole, yet it suffered such severe injuries, and after chasing it for so long, it still hasn't found any trace of it.

With its intelligence, Jiuying slowly realized that it had been toyed with by that insignificant human!

It furiously destroyed everything in its path, charging forward until suddenly it entered a desert.

This desert was boundless and scorching hot. After Jiuying rushed in, it seemed to get lost in the desert. When it looked back, the original wasteland had disappeared.

It remembered that shortly after it rushed into the desert, it should have been able to see the way back to the wasteland. However, it seemed that the desert suddenly expanded and replaced the original wasteland.

The Nine-Headed Serpent sensed something was wrong. Now that things had come to this, it was both angry and panicked, and began to roar and charge wildly.

It had an instinctive fear of this desert and wanted to rush out, but it didn't know how long it rushed, and the desert seemed endless.

As time passed, no trace of the human was ever found, and the wounds on Jiuying's body never healed.

Blood continued to flow, staining the yellow sand red, and the excruciating pain in its chest persisted without any relief.

Nine-Headed Serpent paused, a look of confusion in its eyes. Its body had an amazing ability to recover, so in theory, its previous injuries should have healed long ago, but they were still not healed.

The Nine-Headed Serpent looked puzzled. It opened its nine gaping maws and inhaled sharply in mid-air.

These injuries can be healed quickly by absorbing enough essence from heaven and earth.

Wild beasts that have reached a certain level of cultivation, as well as martial artists who have reached a certain level of martial arts skill, all possess the ability to Bigu, allowing them to live without eating, drinking, or even breathing.

Their bodies also possess a powerful self-healing ability, and many injuries can heal on their own.

However, this situation has one prerequisite: first, one must communicate with the energy of heaven and earth.

Martial artists breathe in vital energy, while wild beasts absorb the essence of the sun and moon; this is the source of their life energy.

If even this is severed, then even the most powerful martial artist or the most terrifying wild beast will slowly lose the energy within their body, their Life Fire will become weaker and weaker, and they will eventually die from energy exhaustion.

This is the same principle as ordinary people starving to death.

This is precisely why the Undying Sea is called the Undying Sea, because once you venture deep into the Undying Sea, the Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi will become increasingly thin. Without the replenishment and support of energy, even Great Emperor would be powerless, and once the energy within his body is exhausted, he would lose all his Divine Ability.

That's why Jiuying, who has always lived in the Undying Sea, so desperately craves the pure energy within the Empress Secret Realm. With this energy, it feels it can successfully overcome the Heavenly Tribulation.

However, at this moment, as it opened its mouth to devour the essence of heaven and earth in the desert, its movements suddenly froze, and its nineteen eyeballs also remained motionless in their sockets.

It paused for a moment, then stretched its neck and took another deep breath.

The wind howled, and even the sand dunes were pushed by its suction, causing sand and stones to fly across the ground.

However, it still didn't get what it really needed to inhale.

This world has air, sky, and yellow sand, but not even a tiny bit of the energy of heaven and earth!

Blood was still gushing from Jiuying's chest. Without energy, its wounds would heal very slowly. As its energy and blood continued to drain away, it would only grow weaker and weaker.

But even in the deepest part of the sea, there will still be a little thin energy of heaven and earth. Jiuying did not expect that he would enter such a dangerous place!

An unprecedented sense of crisis suddenly enveloped Jiuying. This powerful wild beast felt fear and roamed wildly across the land, its nine heads raised high, its mouths constantly opening, trying to find and absorb the essence of heaven and earth.

However, all of this was in vain...

Seven days have passed, and Jiuying is still running around, searching.

At this point, it no longer cared about Yi Yun; it only wanted to get out of this Death Desert.

For seven days, it can only sustain its life with the energy stored in its body.

Its remaining energy was dwindling, it was growing increasingly hungry, its scales had lost their former luster, and its aura had weakened considerably.

On this day, after it had climbed over a sand dune countless times in search of a way out of the desert, a point of light suddenly appeared somewhere in this space. The point of light quickly expanded into a portal of light, and pure energy dissipated from it.

The nine heads of the Nine-Headed Serpent immediately turned around.

It saw a human, holding a golden longbow, slowly stepping out from the portal of light.

It's that human!

Ninety-two infants' nineteen eyes suddenly turned red, and all the anger that had accumulated over the past seven days erupted completely at this moment!

It vaguely sensed that this human had led it into the desert, and that this human must also know the way out of the desert!
