"Let's go, let's take a look at the central region." Loran raised his hand to stroke Lei Lin's mane, the divine power flowing from his fingertips making the Qilin purr comfortably. The spatial ripples beneath his feet suddenly expanded, forming a silver-white teleportation portal that directly crossed the boundary between the outer and central regions.
The moment you pass through the portal, the surrounding environment undergoes a dramatic transformation. The trunks of towering ancient trees are so thick that it takes more than ten people to encircle them, and glowing moss grows on their bark, making the forest appear like a dreamlike secret realm. The elemental concentration in the air is a hundred times higher than in the surrounding area, and the four elements of lightning, fire, earth, and life intertwine and flow, forming visible bands of colored light.
Even more astonishingly, floating islands dotted the distant sky, covered with golden divine arrays, and the outlines of enormous palaces could be vaguely seen. These were fragments of the divine kingdoms left behind by ancient gods, now serving as lairs for high-level magical beasts.
"Be careful, Master." Lei Lin's mane suddenly stood on end, his golden vertical pupils warily fixed on the thick fog ahead. "Something is spying on us from within the fog. Its aura is strange, and it doesn't belong to any known Deity Level magical beast."
Loran's divine sense instantly spread out, covering an area of fifty kilometers. Deity Level expert's divine sense could normally encompass the entire continent, but in the central part of the Magical Beast Forest, it was suppressed to the extreme by some mysterious force. Even so, he still managed to detect three obscure auras: one hidden underground, containing profound Laws of the Earth; one floating in mid-air, carrying a chilling aura of death; and the most bizarre of all, seemingly fused with space, sometimes appearing and sometimes disappearing.
"They are three Deity Level magical beasts, each controlling the Laws of Space." A smirk played on Loran's lips, the fragments of Divine Spark spinning rapidly in his pupils. "Interesting. It seems the waters in the middle of the forest are deeper than I imagined."
Just then, the thick fog suddenly boiled over, and countless black vines, like venomous snakes, emerged from the ground, carrying a foul-smelling venom, and coiled towards the two. The vines were covered with scales, and their tips had gaping maws filled with sharp teeth—this was the attack of the Deity Level magical beast, the Corrosion Vine Emperor, which could manipulate the plants within a ten-mile radius to drag its prey into its underground lair for digestion.
"A trivial skill."
Loran snorted coldly and waved his right hand lightly. Silver-white lightning instantly erupted from his divine robe, transforming into thousands of lightning snakes that crackled and pounced on the black vines. Wherever the lightning passed, the vines turned into charcoal, and the foul-smelling venom evaporated into white mist. In just a breath, all the vines were destroyed, leaving only scorched earth emitting black smoke on the ground.
"Aww--"
An angry roar came from underground, the earth trembled violently, and a huge earthen pillar with a diameter of thirty meters rose from the ground. At the top of the pillar stood a behemoth comparable in size to a small mountain. Its entire body was made of rock, its body covered with heavy armor, and it had three scarlet eyes on its head. It was the Deity Level beast that controlled the Laws of the Earth - the Earth-Splitting Rock Sovereign.
"Human deities, how dare you trespass into my territory!" The voice of the Earth-Splitting Rock Sovereign boomed like thunder, his three eyes simultaneously shooting out red light. "The blood feud of your slaughter of my race three hundred years ago will be repaid today!"
Wherever the red light passed, space distorted noticeably. This was a combined technique of the Laws of the Earth and the Edicts of Destruction, something even Deity Level expert wouldn't dare to take head-on. But Loran simply raised his hand calmly, and a spinning ball of lightning condensed in his palm. Golden law patterns flowed across the surface of the ball, which was the Deity Level skill he had comprehended— Violet Lightning Annihilation.
"Boom!"
