Chapter 2452 Black Marsh

chapter 2452 black marsh

translator: borntobe

an incense stick’s time of travel away from the battlefield was a black marsh. within the depths of the marsh was a strange, flickering divine light.

sometimes mist would surge out of that area, and the surrounding vegetation would distinctly light up. that was a bizarre phenomenon.

one of the squads of the dragonblood warriors had noticed it first. after some observation, they had concluded that it definitely was not an ordinary place. there was very likely a treasure within.

however, this marsh seemed to be its own world, and it was impossible to fly inside. once they fell into the marsh, they would be sucked inside.

they had captured a twelfth rank beast to try crossing the marsh, only for that beast to die without any struggle. it was then swallowed by the marsh as if being devoured.

water element and earth element cultivators had tried to control the marsh, only to get zero reaction from the water and earth.

they had tried countless things but were unable to figure out how to cross. anything they tried to send through the marsh sank. it was as if the water did not allow anything to float on top of it.

feeling that this place was too sinister, they had been wondering whether or not to send out a request for reinforcements, when suddenly, the mist reappeared, and this time it was far greater than any other eruption. within it, it was possible to see an immortal abode.

they could see figures moving within the immortal abode, but it wasn’t possible to see who they were. the mist began to spread, even reaching them outside of the marsh.

when the mist approached them, they felt their pores fully open. some of them cried out in amazement. this was immortal mist capable of extending a person’s lifespan.

there were many things capable of providing a person with life energy, but things that could extend a person’s longevity were heaven-defying existences.

a person’s lifespan was related to their cultivation base. but all people, regardless of cultivation base, had a limit to their lifespan. once they reached that limit, if they failed to break through to the next realm, the only thing left to them was death.

most people were unable to sense their own remaining lifespan. they would only sense their limit once they were already deteriorating.

however, amongst them were some people with special cultivation arts who were capable of confirming that the mist could increase a person’s longevity, so everyone began to absorb it.

the immortal mist continued to spread, unleashing radiant light that ended up attracting a new group of people. those people were the sea demons.

the dragonblood warriors had hastily hidden themselves. they only had fifty thousand people, while the other side outnumbered them. the sea demons also had that young king of the six horn sea serpent race, so the dragonblood warriors could only temporarily retreat.

now that they had confirmed that there was a priceless treasure present, they sent out the request for reinforcements, hoping for enough people to come to fight off the sea demons.

however, later, when the mist started to fade, the sea demons that were searching for a way to enter the marsh noticed signs that others had been there recently. their large-scale search resulted in them finding the dragonblood warriors.

at first, the six horn sea serpent had only been planning on making them scram, but with the urging of his left and right arms, he had given the order to kill them. that was when long chen had arrived.

eventually, he reached the center of the marsh. looking back, he was unable to see the other side.

long chen grew ever more wary and continued going deeper. he eventually reached the mist area and found that it really did possess some strange ability. with just a breath, he felt invigorated.

with his vision and divine sense limited within the mist, he did his best to continue going straight. however, it was all too easy to end up going in the wrong direction. all of a sudden, he came to a stop.

he squatted down, sensing some almost imperceptible fluctuations coming from the bottom of the marsh. when he went silent and suppressed all of his aura, those fluctuations faded. only then did long chen continue onward carefully.

even after another two hours, he didn’t sense that strange phenomenon again. but as he went deeper, the mist grew denser.

suddenly, the bronze bar shook. long chen almost jumped off, but then he laughed. he had reached an island within the marsh.

long chen jumped onto the land. the mist on the island began to clear up, revealing a world of greenery and flowers.

there was an ancient forest on the island. giant vines were hanging from the trees, and the leaves covered the sky. despite that, the forest didn’t seem all that sinister because there was a strange kind of grass that emitted its own light and illuminated the forest.

some small beasts were running around within the forest. they didn’t seem to be afraid of long chen upon seeing him, looking at him curiously.

“this evil marsh is hiding such a wonderland. how surprising.” long chen couldn’t help smiling. with just a glance, he had seen several precious medicinal ingredients.

those were ingredients that had reached the level of priceless treasures on the martial heaven continent. he wondered what treasures could be found even deeper into the forest.

suddenly, a gust of wind made long chen raise his hand. a splinter appeared in his finger.

the splinter was three inches long and black other than some white lines on it. there was some dew on it as well.

long chen raised his head, only to see a figure vanish within the forest.

“there are people here?” startled, long chen followed. just at that moment, the peaceful air became sinister and dark.

the giant vines hanging on the trees suddenly shot toward him. at the same time, tiny needles rained down from the leaves.

startled, long chen retreated. however, he found that the scenery behind him had been replaced by wooden stakes that were shooting out from the darkness.

“so it’s tree demons.” long chen snorted. evilmoon appeared in his hand, and with a single slash, wooden fragments filled the air.

the earth exploded, and giant tentacles soared into the air, preparing to attack him.

“stop!” suddenly, those tentacles froze in midair.
