Entering Moon Mountain, the Dead Sea of Moon Sand, Silent Moon Sand, the Law of Moon Power, the Law of Permanence
"Especially for high-ranking individuals like myself, at the Apostle level, each contact with Bright God exacerbates this contamination. The decrease in humanity and the increase in divinity are merely minor issues."
"Just like that Moon Cultivator you saw before who fell into corruption after being overwhelmed by a massive amount of information, transforming into Moon Demon is precisely the risk that we, the Moon Pathway sequence, need to confront and be constantly vigilant against."
Wang An nodded slightly in agreement when he heard this, as it was largely consistent with the information and speculation he had gathered.
"Alright, get ready, let's set off immediately."
"Given the size of Moon Mountain, and the fact that we can't climb long distances by air, it will probably be quite a challenge."
In recent days, Wang An and his companion have also learned that this Moon Mountain is not one that just anyone can climb.
These mid-to-high-level powerhouses could even use their own laws and divine Divine Ability to resist the Law of Moon Power of Moon Mountain, forcibly taking flight for thousands of meters.
Other life forms in the middle and Initial Tier ranks have a harder time. They can only walk and climb step by step. If they leave the surface of the Moon Mountain even slightly, the gravity on their bodies will increase rapidly, inevitably pressing the airborne life form back to the ground.
Even if one can resist the Law of Moon Power, the pressure will gradually increase, and one will have to return to the ground to eliminate the influence of the Moon Power's laws before continuing the exploration.
This is what makes this Moon Mountain so unique—its area and height exceed those of a rocky planet.
Yueshitu Suofeiya then stood up, a faint smile on her face, "Then I'll make preparations first. I hope the Bright God will bless us with a smooth journey."
Far from human settlements, at the foot of Moon Mountain, lies a vast white desert.
Upon closer inspection, these white deserts were actually composed of tiny glass crystals. Apart from the Moon Mountain that occupied most of the sky, the rest of the area was deathly still, completely devoid of any signs of life.
Three tiny figures landed here, looking like ants in the sky from afar.
Sophia, dressed in the white moon robes exclusive to the apostles of the Bright God, and carrying an apostle's staff she had crafted over the past six months, walked forward while introducing herself to Wang An and Lu Tianxin.
"Once you cross this Dead Sea of Moon Sand, you'll reach the Moon Mountain region."
"Legend has it that this is a crystalline desert formed from the boundless energy released when Moon Mountain fell long ago."
"Due to the extreme condensation of energy, these extremely dense energy crystals nearly ceased to flow, degenerating into Silent Moon Sand."
They landed here not to admire the sea of moon sand and stones, but because the dividing line at the Moon Mountain was right where they had just taken a step forward.
As they stepped inside, a peculiar law of force descended upon the three of them.
Even when they are not flying in the air, they are subjected to a gravitational pull no less than twice their own weight.
Wang An carefully comprehended this, realizing that he was truly experiencing the power of the laws of High Tier beings.
That powerful feeling, like the laws of heaven and earth, was far inferior even to the few Golden Nature laws he had accumulated so far.
For example, even with his current level of understanding of the laws, he can only maintain his Divine Ability for a few thousand years.
During this period, the laws of the universe will continuously correct themselves, gradually restoring the abnormal parts to within the framework allowed by the rules of the universe.
The complete laws of High Tier beings are almost equivalent to the rules of the universe, and they essentially possess the power of perpetual existence.
Unless there is interference from laws of the same or higher level, the effects of such laws are almost always permanent and difficult to remove.
This is why High Tier beings rarely take action.
Just like the star systems occupied by the Tyranid Swarm in previous High Tier battles, they are now being devoured and ravaged by dozens of laws, completely turning them into a wasteland of life.
Even some High Tier beings are unwilling to enter.
They are like the nuclear weapons of the old era of humankind on Blue Star, especially the dirty bombs that rely on nuclear radiation to cause damage.
High Tier beings can destroy an entire region with every attack they make; hoping for time to heal naturally is practically wishful thinking.
Unless High Tier being is willing to Lifa themselves, it will be very difficult to restore them even after billions of years.
Thinking of this, Wang An looked again at the area around Moon Mountain Moon Pool.
He thought to himself, "I'm afraid this place will remain like this for countless years to come."
Then an unrealistic thought popped into his head, "Unless someone attains the Great Dao of this ancient immortal, it's impossible to change all of this."
Similarly, the entire [Ancient Immortal Heavenly Realm] is in ruins, and the environment is fraught with calamities.
After a short while, the three of them adapted and were able to resist the Law of Moon Power here. They then took to the air and flew towards Moon Mountain.
Along the way, the endless Dead Sea of Moon Sand remained, a scene devoid of life.
As scheduled, the group descended back to the surface just as they were about to succumb to the pressure of the laws.
A few days later, the three of them finally set foot on the relatively soft, grayish-white lunar soil.
Looking ahead, one could already see the white and green Moon Demon Plants growing, and Wang An could sense that this lunar soil possessed an extraordinary and unique ecosystem.
"The energy concentration of the heaven and earth here is at least above the initial level."
Sophia pointed ahead to the enormous Moon Mountain, which resembled a tilted continent, and the densely packed Moon Demon Plants that grew there.
"Gentlemen, those are the most common oak magical plants on Moon Mountain."
"They are at the very bottom of the entire Moon Mountain ecosystem, absorbing nutrients while producing fruits and juices for smaller organisms to eat."
"However, this location has basically been explored."
"They're of no value to extraordinary beings like us. Let's continue up the mountain."
The three set off again, and sure enough, when they entered the airspace above the oak tree, they discovered that some herbivorous lunar magical beasts lived in this area.
They are usually large, and many of them look like elephants or giraffes from Blue Star, tens of meters tall, as they gnaw on the fruits and leaves of oak trees and magical plants.
Where there are herbivorous magical beasts, there are naturally also carnivorous magical beasts.
Hordes of carnivorous magical beasts would chase and intercept them, hunting down the old, weak, sick, and disabled, leaving only the strong and healthy behind, constantly presenting the three with a scene reminiscent of an animal world.
However, these animal-like magical beasts are not as large as the extraordinary creatures and monsters of the same level in the outside world.
Even at their combined flight speed, it took them half a month to cross the area at the foot of Moon Mountain, where the Initial Tier- level beings resided.
It wasn't until the three felt the pressure of the laws rise another level, causing their flight speed to slow down significantly, that they entered the Middle Tier region.
Not long after they started flying, the Moon Apostle, who had the lowest cultivation level, could no longer hold on, and the rest of the group finally landed to rest.
Before they had even fully landed, a harpy-bodied monster with a human face and covered in white and green fur, hundreds of meters long, silently attacked them from behind.
Those extended sharp claws were no less sharp than those of a typical Middle Tier level two weapon or magic weapon.
