Chapter 416: Chapter 329: Emperor’s Perishing No Return Domain_2

“Don’t mention it, I really did sense quite a few treasures!” the Mole said, staring at the space rift and communicating telepathically.

“That’s not the point. We wouldn’t care for ordinary treasures; the key is to find Qi Jingtian,” Li Cheng said.

As they spoke, a young man approached them. “Fellow Daoists, are you thinking of going in? Would you like to form a team?” he asked.

“Oh? Form a team?” Li Cheng asked curiously.

The young man smiled. “If you venture in alone, it’s easy to get lost. But in a team, it’s different. With ten people, each taking a different direction to seek treasures, we don’t interfere with each other. Yet we can use the Soul Lock to sense each other and therefore are less likely to get lost,” he explained.

Inside the Emperor’s Perishing No Return Domain, the environment was constantly changing. Even if they restricted their exploration to the vicinity of the entrance within a million miles, there would be different opportunities every day.

Thus, for a long time, there have always been people willing to take the risk and venture in.

Even if every trip resulted in people who never could return, it didn’t deter these treasure hunters’ enthusiasm.

“No need!”

Li Cheng replied, walking into the space rift with Er Shou.

Are that man and the two beasts courting death by entering so rashly? They obviously look like novices,” someone said.

“Why bother about them? If they die in there, won’t it be just perfect? Perhaps treasures will float out soon,” another remarked.

…

Upon entering the space rift and turning around, they could see the light from the outside. Li Cheng estimated that as long as they were within a million miles, they could see this space rift and would not get lost.

If they went beyond a million miles, that would be dangerous, and it would be easy to lose one’s way.

That’s why those people formed teams to explore this million miles radius.

In this place, the Divine Soul was suppressed, and the Divine Sense was hardly useful. However, by relying on the light from outside, they could barely explore within a million miles, which was not too bad.

Big boss, this place is too oppressive, how long do we have to stay?” the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle couldn’t help asking.

Li Cheng sensed the laws here and found that the Dark Law was most active, but there was almost no Heaven and Earth Divine Qi, making it extremely barren.

“It’s indeed quite oppressive. All around us is boundless darkness, and only the space rift emits a faint light, which seems to be swallowed by darkness, making it uncomfortable,” the Mole said.

“Be careful!”

Suddenly, Li Cheng activated his Domain to envelop Er Shou and soared high into the sky.

Having ascended dozens of miles, he saw a piece of broken continent silently flying below, crossing tens of thousands of miles in an instant. In little more than ten breaths of time, it had already vanished into the distant darkness.

Big boss, should we chase after it? There are divine items on that continent!” the Mole said with some anticipation.

Li Cheng shook his head. “It’s flying too fast. If we descend in search of treasures, we won’t be able to see this space rift after more than ten breaths. Then we would surely get lost in here.”

The Divine Turtle’s eyes flashed with brilliance as he pointed downward. “There’s another continent floating below, and its speed isn’t fast!” he said.

“Divine Turtle, I haven’t sensed any treasures,” the Mole said.

“That’s a pity!”

The continent below would likely take more than ten days to drift a million miles. Landing on it wouldn’t pose the danger of getting lost, but if there were any treasures, they would have been taken by others long ago.

Li Cheng sensed for a moment and felt somewhat helpless as he couldn’t detect Qi Jingtian’s aura at all.

That meant Qi Jingtian had long exceeded the million miles range and headed deeper into the darkness.

There was no way to search for it now; they could only hope for good luck for the lad.

Big boss, since we’re here, should we just stand around waiting? Why don’t we look around?” the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle suggested.

Li Cheng turned to the Mole. “You lead the way.”

The Mole sensed around for a moment, then soared high, flying tens of thousands of miles upward. Above them appeared a fragment of a continent about ten miles in size.

The fragment drifted at an incredible speed. The Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle made a move, using his Space power to immobilize it, and the three of them landed on it.

The Mole extended his claws to shake the fragment into dust, revealing only a clump of dark brown soil.

“`

“I… had you said so earlier, I would have directly shattered it. Why go to the trouble of restraining it?” the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle said with annoyance.

The Mole Rat gave an embarrassed smile, “Divine Turtle Boss, my bad, quickly look at this thing!”

“What’s so special about a clump of dirt? Er, I didn’t say anything.” The Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle originally wanted to taunt the Mole Rat a bit, but remembering the latter’s capabilities, hastily took back his words.

Li Cheng grabbed the dirt in his hand, his eyes revealing a look of surprise, “The size of a fist yet it weighs over a million tons, soft and pliant to the touch – could this be Breathing Soil?”

As he spoke, Li Cheng infused a stream of Divine Power into it, and instantly, the fist-sized clump of dirt slowly expanded, turning into a one-meter diameter.

When he retracted the Divine Power he had infused into it, the dirt returned to the size of a fist.

“It really is Breathing Soil, and top-grade Nine Heaven’s Breathing Soil at that!” Li Cheng said.

The Mole Rat proudly patted his chest, “Common divine items wouldn’t catch the Boss’s eye, so rest assured, Boss, whatever I find will definitely be of great value!”

“Breathing Soil is the most suitable Earth Attribute treasure for constructing Divine Worlds. It seems that this fragment of the continent was part of some powerhouse’s Divine World, and after breaking apart and losing its Divine Power, the Breathing Soil contracted,” Li Cheng explained.

Being able to construct a Divine World with Nine Heaven’s Breathing Soil was something countless people dream of, but such Breathing Soil was extremely rare. It was already quite good to be able to obtain ordinary Breathing Soil.

Li Cheng put it away with satisfaction, “Continue!”

The Mole Rat sensed around but then shook his head, “Nothing for now; let’s wait a bit!”

Continental fragments floated by occasionally, so all they needed to do was wait!

Li Cheng nodded. He too wanted to wait and see if Qi Jingtian would enter this region from somewhere else.

Although his Divine Soul was suppressed, Li Cheng could still extend his Divine Sense tens of thousands of miles, undoubtedly a tremendous advantage.

“A corpse is floating over here; strange, there’s a hole in the corpse’s head as if something has sucked out the brain matter and Divine Soul.”

With a gesture from afar, Li Cheng brought the newly discovered corpse before him.

The body was pitch-black as if poisoned, with an empty skull, extremely eerie.

Er Shou looked at the corpse and quickly went on guard, while the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle said, “Boss, this is a bit scary. It looks to have just died recently, and whatever killed it is probably nearby.”

The Mole Rat’s eyes were spinning rapidly, “Didn’t you say that there are some very strange Dark Beasts in this place? We haven’t run into them by any chance, have we?”

Li Cheng, knowing the Mole Rat was easily scared, reassured it, “Don’t worry, I’m here!”

In the Emperor’s Perishing No Return Domain indeed lurked Dark Paranormal Creatures, which was one of the reasons why so many people guarded outside but did not come in. After all, those Dark Paranormal Creatures could perfectly conceal their presence and form here. If encountered, one might not even know how they died.

Wanting to wait for broken continents to float by for treasure hunting could mean encountering Dark Paranormal Creatures on those drifting lands.

“These Dark Paranormal Creatures are rumored to be formed from the residual thoughts, blood qi, and corpses of Divine Emperors who have died. There are also rumors that they have always existed here, and the Divine Emperors entered to hunt these Dark Beasts,” he said.

“Regardless, I would like to capture one and see for myself,” declared Li Cheng.

On the corpse, other than the missing Divine Soul and brain matter, everything else was intact, including the storage ring and an unconscious Divine Child!

Li Cheng took the storage ring and the Divine Child and tossed them to the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle, “Let’s change locations!”

Another massive fragment of a continent drifted within Li Cheng’s Divine Sense, spanning tens of thousands of miles, with over a dozen people already upon it.

Those people were working together to slow the drifting of the fragment while rapidly scavenging for treasures upon it.

Li Cheng’s Divine Sense had already spotted two Divine Artifacts on the fragment, neither of low grade – both were King Grade Divine Artifacts!

However, those dozen or so people had also noticed them, resulting in a tumult of battle as five or six of them moved to seize the two Divine Artifacts.

Li Cheng had no interest in joining the fray and watched quietly.

Suddenly, Li Cheng’s gaze shifted towards the distance. In his Divine Sense, another vast fragment of the continent appeared, heading straight toward the one where the dozen or so people were. It was moving incredibly fast!

The next second, the continent fragment collided, spewing a vast shower of earth and stone, akin to the apocalypse, and both land fragments were disintegrating!

The dozen or so people took to the sky, managing to avoid the cataclysm of the two colliding landmasses.

However, as they took flight, they spotted Li Cheng and Er Shou not too far away and, to Li Cheng’s surprise, they all charged toward him.

Li Cheng turned his head and saw a small, faintly luminous mound floating toward him. Clearly, the goal of those dozen or so people was this peculiar small mountain!
