While the people of the Douluo Continent were discussing this, at this moment, in the Undying Mountain of the Shrouding the Heavens World...
Wang Ergou stared intently at the towering stone tablet, his legs feeling as if they were made of lead, unable to move an inch.
Everyone else looked through the Heavenly Screen, but he faced the three large characters " Undying Mountain ".
He felt that each stroke was like a heavy shackle, crushing his soul.
"We can't go in... we absolutely can't go in..."
He bit his tongue hard, using the intense pain to force himself to muster a little strength, and turned to run wildly away from the stone tablet.
The allure of "immortality" and the legend of longevity are all utter nonsense in the face of life and death.
His only thought now was to escape this hellish place, even if it was just to get a step away from the stone tablet!
However, he had only run ten steps when a strange feeling rose from the bottom of his heart.
The surrounding scenery—the jagged rocks, the twisted dead trees, even the black gravel under his feet—was exactly the same as it had been before he turned around.
He turned around abruptly, his pupils shrinking to the size of pinpoints—the enormous " Undying Mountain " stone tablet still stood behind him, the distance seemingly unchanged!
"How could this be... how could this happen?!"
Wang Ergou refused to believe it and sprinted again, putting all his strength into it.
He felt like his lungs were about to explode, and his leg muscles ached terribly, but no matter how fast he ran, the stone tablet remained his constant companion, and his relative position to the stone tablet did not change at all!
This space seemed to be distorted by an invisible force, trapping him tightly around the stone tablet!
"It's over... it's over..."
Wang Ergou's face was ashen, and he collapsed to the ground in despair, his coarse linen clothes already soaked with sweat.
He was just an ordinary mortal from the Douluo Continent, who hadn't even awakened his Soul Power. Faced with such a terrifying being who could manipulate space at will, he didn't even have the right to struggle.
Just as he was utterly despairing, a cold, hoarse laugh, carrying the weight of countless years, suddenly rang in his mind, as if piercing his very soul:
"Kid, you're already here, why are you leaving so soon?"
"Wouldn't that make it seem like I, the Undying Mountain, don't know how to treat guests?"
The sound was like a chilling wind from the depths of hell, making Wang Ergou's hair stand on end and his heart almost leap out of his throat.
He looked around in horror, but there was nothing there except the desolate mountains and the stone tablet.
"Who? Who is it?!"
Wang Ergou's voice was trembling and choked with sobs.
"Who?"
The mysterious voice rang out again, its tone filled with mockery and cruelty, "The one who will take your life!"
Before the words were even finished, a huge crack suddenly appeared in the already dark and gloomy sky!
The crevice was not empty space, but a gigantic, pitch-black hand that Shrouding the Heavens, its five fingers spread wide, exuding an aura of destruction, as it swooped down towards Wang Ergou's head!
The giant hand was covered with mysterious and eerie patterns, each pattern seemingly flowing with the laws of death. Just a wisp of its aura leaked out, and the black mountain below silently turned to dust!
"Hahahaha! It's been so long since we've had any blood food! It's all that damned Lin Hao's fault for sealing up this Undying Mountain so tightly!"
The owner of the giant hand let out a deafening laugh, the sound waves transforming into a tangible impact that caused Wang Ergou's ears and nose to bleed, and his consciousness began to blur.
"I never expected someone would actually come knocking on my door today! Even if it's just a mortal, less than an ant, it's better than nothing!"
The large hand moved slowly, with a mocking air, as if deliberately toying with its prey and enjoying Wang Ergou's dying fear.
Wang Ergou could only watch helplessly as the giant hand, seemingly capable of crushing stars, drew ever closer, the shadow of death completely enveloping him.
Douluo Continent, Under the Heavenly Screen.
The various forces that were discussing how "peaceful," "blessed," and "immortal" the " Undying Mountain " was just a moment ago fell into a deathly silence upon seeing this scene.
On the Shrek Academy playground, Ma Hongjun's fantasy about "eternal youth" was still on his lips, but his smile had completely frozen, making him look incredibly ridiculous.
Ning Rongrong covered her mouth, her big eyes filled with terror, and she almost screamed.
Oscar's face turned deathly pale, and he murmured, "A... nursing home? This... this is a slaughterhouse..."
"Hiss--"
Zhao Wuji gasped, cold sweat beading on his forehead. "This... this hand... it's terrifying!"
Just a glance through the Heavenly Screen made my Martial Soul tremble, and my soul feel like it was about to be crushed!
Tang San's pupils contracted sharply. He activated his Purple Demon Eye to its limit, but he still couldn't see through the true nature of that giant hand. He could only sense its world-destroying aura.
He said in a hoarse voice, "Teacher... your... your analysis just now..."
Yu Xiaogang's face turned pale and then red, his lips trembled, and he couldn't utter a single word for a long time.
The concepts of "relatively safe" and "newbie village" have become a huge joke at this moment.
Flender pushed up his glasses, his eyes behind the lenses filled with horror, and said with a bitter smile, "This... this Undying Mountain... it's not just a nice-sounding name... it's clearly... a trap to lure us in!"
In the corridor of the Eastsea Academy, Gu Yuena's beautiful face was filled with solemnity, and for the first time, an emotion called "fear" appeared in her silver eyes.
"The aura of Eternal? Tranquility?"
She shook her head self-deprecatingly, "I was wrong... terribly wrong."
The "immortality" of this Undying Mountain probably refers to... any living being that enters it will never be able to escape, forever imprisoned in this desolate place, becoming a plaything or food for that terrifying being!
Tang Wulin clenched his fists, and his Golden Dragon Body was uncontrollably activated once again, his dragon scales standing on end—an instinctive reaction of the dragon bloodline when faced with an absolute danger that was impossible to resist.
"The power of this... this hand... I'm afraid that with a single claw strike, it could wipe the entire Shrek City... off the map!"
Even Titled Douluo is less than an ant before him!
Inside the Spirit Hall, in the Pope's Palace.
Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, which was holding a delicate pinky finger, froze in mid-air, and the fawning smile on his face was replaced by horror.
"N-no... immortal... this... this is an immortality that's impossible to escape?"
Ghost Douluo Gui Mei figure rippled, as if he might vanish at any moment, and he said in a hoarse voice:
"Well... well done, the Undying Mountain! What a deadly trap to lure the enemy in!"
Its brutality far surpasses that of the Desolate Ancient Forbidden Land and Burial Heaven Island!
At least those two forbidden zones allowed people to die without even realizing it, but this Undying Mountain... has such a terrifying existence that it wants to devour intruders alive!
Bibi Dong sat on the throne, her jade hands gripping the armrests tightly, her knuckles white.
She took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the turmoil in her heart, her phoenix eyes flashing with cold light. "We were all wrong... we were blinded by the name of 'immortality'."
This Shrouding the Heavens World and boundless Life Forbidden Zone, is filled with terrifyingly complex beings; how can it be judged by ordinary standards?
The owner of this giant hand... his power has probably surpassed the realm of gods! Wang Ergou... is doomed!
