Along his way, Austin noticed that his entire path was surrounded by barren hills, cliffs and primeval forests. In fact, most of the
area around him was dead!
And there were swamps everywhere. If there weren't swamps, then on the charred earth around him, there were deep and large
gullies.
'It looks like a fierce and great battle took place around here. Everything seems so... dead!"
This idea hit Austin's mind out of nowhere when he looked around and saw the stunning black gullies in the distance. Along with
that, several huge peaks far away from him seemed like they had been cut flat from the middle.
Another striking feature of the terrain around him was that the entire vast plain was covered in ssort of thick, scarlet mist,
which was continuously drifting here and there and he could not see too far from where he was standing; at least not clearly.
The smell of this bitter bloody red mist was exactly the sas the smell of human blood. Whatever had happened here, several
humans had died.
There was no doubt that the red mist that shrouded the ground was actually formed by human blood evaporating with tand
filling the very air of this place.
At the stime, Austin heard several shrill cries resounding from the plains covered in scarlet mist and far away from him.
It was the sort of place no one dared to break into without permission or proper protection. The place was dangerous, deadly, and
dead!
"Caw!"
Austin was standing on a large and desolate mountain, made up of barren grey stones and looking far into the distance. Suddenly,
a loud noise made by ssort of bird resounded with a ferocity that could crack the stones beneath his feet.
Then, a creepy chill fell all over the sky.
Austin hurriedly looked up, and saw a giant, ferocious-looking bird flying across the sky at a rapid pace. It was large enough to
instantly cover more than half of the visible sky. Its feathers were colorful and shiny. But the ground had becdark underneath,
as if night had cearly.
Austin was shocked. What a huge bird! It was like a huge cloud had covered the whole area and it was about to rain.
"Wait! There are more than one!"
As Austin gazed into the distance, he was immensely startled by what he saw. There were similar clouds in the distant sky and
from the looks of them, they were also the skind of giant birds.
All of a sudden, one of those huge birds dove down from the sky and grabbed at something on the ground with a pair of glittering
claws, shining like solid gold, and cold as steel.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Aargh!"
A scream arose from that place.
Then the giant bird leaped into the sky once again, but this time, with dozens of warriors struggling and screaming in each of its
claws.
To Austin's horror, the bird sent all the warriors who were trapped inside its claws into its mouth and ate them all.
'This bird is eating people! It's carnivorous!" Austin thought inwardly with a pang of horror and disgust hitting his heart.
His heart sank.
It wasn't safe in here; he immediately used his bodily movement skill and rushed down the barren mountain at top speed. He didn't
stop until he had arrived at a hill which was relatively unnoticeable.
Bang!
All of a sudden, the entire sky seemed to shake. A small mountain seemed to somehow float up into the sky, releasing a
tremendous intent of murder.
"How can a mountain move?"
Austin found the sight strange at first, but then, that surprise turned into a look of horror as he realized the truth. It was not a
mountain; it was a giant, cyan snake.
Its body was so enormous in proportions that as it knelt down in the distance, it looked like a small mountain.
The snake soared into the sky and fought with the giant bird who was eating the warriors. The former's scales fluttered, as did the
colorful feathers of the latter. Blood spattered down, of all the creatures that were engaged in that battle. The fight was extremely
fierce.
'It looks like there are a large number of wild beasts in the Fallen Immortal World.
It is said that this world is the place where the immortals actually died. That means it must be extremely dangerous indeed.
| need to be more careful every step of the way!"
Austin decided inwardly. Numerous complex feelings were rising and falling in his heart.
Not long ago, he had encountered the legendary thunder beast, and now, he was bearing witness to mountain-like snakes and
carnivorous birds.
This reminded Austin that he had to be on the lookout for all sorts of monstrous creatures.
Austin then gazed into the distance on the ground. The ancient woods towered into the sky. The mountains and rivers seemed of
primitive origin. Several old vines were twisting on those mountains. This was clearly a world that had formed several millions of
years ago. It was ancient!
“Ah.
Yet another scream of a human cfrom a mountain range in the distance. As soon as Austin heard it, he changed into a shadow
and rushed over to see what was going on.
Soon, he arrived at the entrance of a valley, albeit slightly late. He saw that a warrior had died in the mouth of a golden tiger by
being bitten into two parts.
It was a huge and wide valley in front of him, dense with spiritual energy, yet filled with dangers. A dense purple mist was surging
upwards inside it.
Moreover, to Austin's surprise, faint bursts of fairy music were coming from deep within the valley.
"There are vast amounts of extremely valuable superior herbs in the valley,"
the gntold Austin inside his Soul Sea.
Austin nodded in response.
The gnmight be correct, but there was a large group of people guarding the whole valley. He couldn't get inside just like that.
From uniform, they seemed to be from a sect from outside the East Mainland. Austin guessed that they must be warriors of one
sect in other places of the Divine Continent.
He also noticed that several cultivators among those guards were at the Heavenly Grotto Realm.
A cultivator at the Heavenly Grotto Realm was equivalent to a reclusive elder of the holy lands in the East Mainland.
In retrospect, Austin had killed the elder of the Ji Clan. But to be honest, the elder's power was only equivalent to any ordinary
elder.
Moreover, at that time, Austin had only managed to succeed by employing all his might.
Now, he could see at least a dozen cultivators of the Heavenly Grotto Realm in direct sight. Austin knew that even if there were
precious natural resources in the valley, he had no chance of getting to them by competing with these people.
Without hesitation, he turned around and walked away. Life was more important.
But suddenly, his plans were waylaid!
Bang!
Suddenly, an enormously wide beam of red light pierced through the air and appeared in front of Austin. A giant and deep pit
appeared on the ground where it hit and as it disappeared, people appeared.
Austin was taken aback and a chill cinto his eyes. He looked at the figure floating in the air not far away which had just
materialized with the light.
It was a handsyoung man, looking at Austin with a half smile. His eyes were as long and thin as that of a ghost and seemed
blank and deadly.
There were more than ten cultivators standing on either side of him in perfect symmetry. They all held giant bows in their hands
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmand were looking at Austin with murderous looks, sneering at their enemy.
"You can't turn back. My senior wants you to go in there,"
said the young man as he pointed towards the entrance of the valley, where a middle-aged man was miraculously sitting in the air
with his legs crossed.
The latter's strength was at the Heavenly Grotto Realm. He must have been the senior master.
"lI don't know you guys. What's the matter?"
Austin controlled his anger and asked in a calm tone.
"Just do as we say and get in there. You have no right to ask or choose. We rule this place!"
The young man got impatient immediately. He seemed to be looking down at Austin, completely ignoring his question.
"What if | don't?"
Austin got angry too and his heart becfilled with a killing intent. He stared at the young man fiercely.
The latter was instantly terrified to pieces by Austin's murderous stare and felt like he was being looked at by a wild beast.
This was the murderous will that Austin had developed through years of killing.
"Damn it! Do you want to die?
Because | can help you with that immediately!"
The young man now lost control. He immediately took out a feather arrow from his back, put it in the huge bow in his hand, and
aimed at Austin.
"Wait!
What happened?”
The middle-aged man, who Austin had guessed to be a great master, somehow sent out his gaze, which pierced through space and
fell right on Austin.
"Don't kill him. Let him cover to me. He might prove useful!"
The middle-aged man looked Austin from head to toe and then ordered.
