The crimson mist rose and fell, resembling countless threads, each connected by a unique energy line, forming a sea of crimson clouds.
This was the first time Yang Zhen's soul had left his body, reaching the realm of Spirit Wandering through Heaven and Earth. Moreover, it happened suddenly, which really panicked him.
As Yang Zhen entered the red mist, he gradually calmed down and understood what was going on, and began to feel a sense of novelty and curiosity again.
What puzzled Yang Zhen was that even the most outstanding Tribulation Transcendence Realm experts, Palace Master Liu, had difficulty entering the Forbidden Zone of Life beyond a hundred feet, yet he had floated out a thousand feet in an instant.
That's pretty awesome!
Looking at the sea of red mist and clouds beside him, Yang Zhen couldn't help but feel smug.
All around him was a swirling, red mist that flowed around Yang Zhen and even inside his body. He felt nothing; it was as if he were in water.
Although Yang Zhen gradually became familiar with controlling his soul body, he was still unable to move at all, which made him somewhat anxious.
The thought of water made Yang Zhen's eyes light up.
"Damn it, just because I can't Sage of Saunter doesn't mean I can't swim! Back in the Sage of Saunter, I was a stunning sight in the university's public swimming pool; my swimming skills were unparalleled!"
As he muttered to himself, Yang Zhen recalled his swimming techniques, the various movements and breathing methods, and how to swim in a way that made him look graceful without getting too tired.
The next moment, Yang Zhen took a deep breath, swept his hands together, and began to doggy paddle!
This is Yang Zhen's most familiar and best swimming style. In the pool, his feet splashed on the water, making a loud "plop plop" sound and sending water flying. He was incredibly skilled. Wherever he passed, everyone subconsciously stopped and admired his perfect figure with Celestial Person.
"It's moving!" Yang Zhen laughed heartily, his body moving forward rapidly, covering a distance of ten meters in the blink of an eye, faster than swimming in water.
Yang Zhen quickly grew to love the feeling, finding it exhilarating. He dug for an unknown amount of time, until the red mist and sea of clouds grew even thicker, obscuring his view of what lay ahead.
Suddenly, a strange energy fluctuation came from ahead. Yang Zhen, who was engrossed in dog paddling, was startled, stopped, looked up, and was immediately taken aback.
A colossal bronze tree appeared before them, towering into the sky. Yang Zhen looked up but couldn't see how tall it actually was.
The bronze ancient tree was enormous, blocking Yang Zhen's way like a wall. Yang Zhen sensed that it was as thick as a dozen people could hug.
Looking up, the branches stretched as far as the eye could see, and on almost every branch hung at least one corpse, which startled Yang Zhen.
What the hell is that?
As they drew closer, a series of faint, whimpering sounds drifted over, causing Yang Zhen's soul to feel dizzy and disoriented. He quickly left the ancient bronze tree.
The corpses seemed to have been drained of their life force, turning into mummies. Some were headless, and some even had their heads tucked into their arms, suspended in mid-air by bronze tree branches.
The next moment, Yang Zhen was in a daze. When he regained consciousness, the ancient bronze tree in front of him was gone, replaced by a huge, red, muddy swamp. Like the ancient bronze tree, the swamp was full of dead people, but these corpses had no flesh and blood, only bones. It was as if the flesh and blood had all melted into blood and merged into the swamp. The dark red swamp kept bubbling out, which was extremely eerie.
As Yang Zhen observed, he was filled with astonishment. The Forbidden Zone of Life truly lived up to its name; the terror within completely broadened Yang Zhen's horizons.
After digging for an unknown amount of time, Yang Zhen suddenly spotted a house!
A... house?
Upon seeing the house, Yang Zhen was completely dumbfounded.
The Forbidden Zone of Life is called the Forbidden Zone of Life because there are no living beings in this place, but he actually saw a house here, a house built of unknown wood.
"Damn it, who said there's no one here? The existence of houses proves that people once lived here, and for quite some time!"
Driven by curiosity, Yang Zhen dug his way forward, wanting to go inside the house to take a look, but suddenly his expression changed, and it was too late to react.
A terrifying tearing force came, and before Yang Zhen could even let out a wail, he was pulled into a small courtyard.
The courtyard was filled with the fragrance of flowers and teeming with life, stirring up a storm in Yang Zhen's heart.
This Forbidden Zone of Life is a deathly place; how could there possibly be any life here?
Sure enough, Yang Zhen examined the flowers and plants closely and found they were all fake!
Buzz--!
With a deafening roar, the surrounding environment was completely transformed into a towering mountain of withered bones, thousands of feet high, making Yang Zhen's hair stand on end.
Although he no longer had any body hair, Yang Zhen could still clearly feel the sensation of his hair standing on end.
"A mountain of bones!"
Unexpectedly, the mountain of bones actually appeared!
Yang Zhen suddenly remembered that he had heard the Shameless Cat mention something about a mountain of bones.
At the time, Yang Zhen thought that the Shameless Cat was talking nonsense. If there really were mountains of bones, how many bones would it take to make a small hill?
However, at this moment, Bone Mountain was right in front of Yang Zhen, and it was a colossal mountain with bones lying haphazardly everywhere, numbering in the thousands or tens of thousands.
Yang Zhen was in utter shock. What on earth had happened here? Why did something as absurd as Bone Mountain actually appear?
That mournful sound came again, and this time Yang Zhen heard it clearly; it was coming from Bone Mountain.
Yang Zhen gritted his teeth and began to carve his way up the Bone Mountain. With a sweep of his hands and a powerful leap, he covered dozens of feet. Even at lightning speed, it took Yang Zhen a long time to reach the summit.
A jade tablet, a coffin, and the silhouette of a woman came into Yang Zhen's view.
"I... I... Damn!" Yang Zhen was stiff all over, staring dumbfounded at the scene before him, his legs almost giving way.
Seeing the woman slowly turn around, Yang Zhen yelled and ran away, shouting, "Damn it! Excuse me, sorry to bother you!"
At that moment, Yang Zhen discovered that he could control his body to run in mid-air without dog paddling, and his speed was as fast as lightning. With just a thought, he shot out thousands of feet.
boom--!
An invisible wave erupted behind Yang Zhen, and even though Yang Zhen was moving very fast, he was still slightly affected by this force.
puff--!
Yang Zhen spat out a mouthful of blood, which spread all over the ground. He was covered in cold sweat, which soaked his clothes in the blink of an eye.
Hua Youyue's face suddenly turned pale, and in a look of horror, she abruptly turned to look at Yang Zhen, exclaiming, "What's wrong with you?"
Everyone else was startled by Yang Zhen, looking at Yang Zhen strangely. Even the Shameless Cat walked up with a strange expression. "Damn it, kid, what happened to you? This is the first time I've ever seen you vomit blood."
Yang Zhen stared blankly into the red mist, his mind filled with the moment the woman turned around.
Yang Zhen didn't dare linger for even a second longer due to that terrifying energy fluctuation.
Luckily I ran fast!
"Inside the Forbidden Zone of Life..." Yang Zhen glanced deeply at Hua Youyue, his expression filled with suspicion and uncertainty, and said, "There's someone there!"
"What?" Hua Youyue and the others were shocked.
But the next moment, Yang Zhen said something even more frightening, "That person... is you!"
Hua Youyue's face suddenly turned pale, and she abruptly grabbed Yang Zhen's arm with both hands. "Where are you?"
"It's like seeing a ghost in broad daylight!" Yang Zhen muttered to himself, his eyes flashing with disbelief.
