The Eerie Blood Mountain.
This was one of the terrifying forbidden zones inside Skull Star. Skull Star had opened countless times, but only a handful of living beings dared come here; everyone else stayed far away.
That was because a great terror lay hidden here. The scarlet mist filling the air could silently crush True Immortals and cultivators of the Immortal Realm to death.
And if they ventured farther inside, even Immortal Kings risked falling.
The last time Skull Star opened, Hua Yunfei and Shi Zhàndì had come here. They had witnessed many strange phenomena then, all exceedingly terrifying.
But after entering Skull Star this time, they found that the inside had grown even more frightening. It seemed that Skull Star was most terrifying when it was closed.
Still, they had also discovered something interesting.
When Skull Star was closed, anyone who managed to enter seemed to be free of cultivation restrictions. Neither Hua Yunfei nor Nangong Xiangtian had provoked an attack from Skull Star when they tried unleashing their true cultivation.
"It seems that when it comes to exploring Skull Star's secrets, the time when it opens of its own accord isn't actually the best opportunity," Hua Yunfei murmured.
"Let's go. Now that we have our cultivation, we don't need to be so timid," Nangong Xiangtian said.
The two men and one stone headed into the Eerie Blood Mountain. Though it was even more terrifying now, it still couldn't pose any real threat to them.
As for Shi Zhàndì, there was even less to worry about. Even a Quasi-Immortal Emperor's attacks meant little to him.
Scarlet blood mist filled the Eerie Blood Mountain, and the air reeked. From time to time, they saw rotting, shattered bones and corpses.
They all belonged to explorers who had tried to seek treasure
