Chapter 1357: Chapter 1357: Martial Artists of the Land of Descent
Jing Yan entered the Land of Descent and spent only a few days in the Sea of Flames.
Yet in these few days, the enhancement in Jing Yan’s combat power was undoubtedly immense.
The use of Divine Power and Sword Intent Domain saw substantial improvement in technique.
Facing Jing Yan’s gesture, the five red flame shadows seemed to nod at Jing Yan, then gradually vanished into the Sea of Flames.
Jing Yan also turned around, flying towards the deeper area.
Jing Yan’s flight speed was very slow and cautious because he was not sure what dangers awaited him in this Land of Descent. Even his master, Zhan Yue God Emperor, had limited knowledge about the Land of Descent.
The Land of Descent was the sitting land of an Ancient Heavenly Venerate. Martial Artists below the Divine Lord Realm could enter, as those at the Divine Lord Realm cannot come in, being directly absorbed when approaching.
However, if one’s strength is not sufficiently powerful and they rashly enter, the outcome would certainly be a burial-less end. The sea of flames alone is something an ordinary Nine Tripods Main God cannot withstand, not to mention facing the attacks of those red flame shadows.
It can be said that only the pinnacle Nine Tripods Main Gods have hope of crossing the sea of flames to reach deeper places.
Jing Yan continued flying for nearly a month.
A plaza appeared in Jing Yan’s sight.
At the edge of the plaza, there was a layer of white light cover, shimmering with a faint light halo. Though this light cover appeared very thin, the Power conveyed from it made Jing Yan feel a sense of trepidation from the depths of his Divine Soul.
However, this thin light screen did not give Jing Yan a sense of danger. In other words, this light screen itself should not attack Martial Artists approaching here. In this respect, it was different from the red shadows in the sea of flames.
Jing Yan did not rush to approach this plaza but pondered for a while before flying around the plaza covered by the light screen.
This was an exceedingly large plaza. Just flying around it consumed an entire day for Jing Yan.
After completing a lap, Jing Yan realized a problem.
It seemed that he had only one path to take, which was to enter this plaza. Without entering the plaza, there was no way forward unless he returned to the Sea of Flames. But returning to the Sea of Flames, Jing Yan believed he could not leave the Land of Descent the way he came.
More likely, he would face more encirclement by red shadows. Facing an encirclement by five red shadows, he had to flee. If surrounded by a dozen red shadows, perhaps even with his entire arsenal, he wouldn’t last for long.
"Let’s go for it!"
"Since I’m already here, I might as well have a go!" Jing Yan steeled himself in thought.
When he initially decided to come to the Land of Descent, Jing Yan had prepared mentally. If he feared this and that, he wouldn’t have left the Seventh Divine Domain for the Chaos and the Land of Descent.
Jing Yan took a deep breath and slowly approached the light screen around the plaza.
As expected, there was no danger.
Jing Yan made contact with the light screen easily, entering it. The light screen did not emit any force to prevent Jing Yan from entering.
After his figure slightly distorted, Jing Yan passed through the light screen and stood on the plaza.
"Buzz!"
A wave of energy suddenly spread over.
Jing Yan was taken aback and quickly activated his Divine Power.
However, the next moment, Jing Yan relaxed as this energy wave was clearly not targeting him for an attack.
"Are there Martial Artists here?" Jing Yan’s eyes narrowed.
This energy wave was familiar to Jing Yan, a Divine Power fluctuation of a Martial Artist, including Domain Power. So Jing Yan felt this should be energy released by a Human Martial Artist.
Pausing for a moment, Jing Yan then flew forward.
The presence of Human Martial Artists in the Land of Descent didn’t surprise Jing Yan. Previously, his master Zhan Yue God Emperor mentioned that throughout countless years, many Nine Tripods Main Gods had entered the Land of Descent, but almost none ever left. Hence, it’s natural that Martial Artists entering the Land of Descent might still be alive.
As he flew forward, the Divine Power waves and Domain Power from ahead grew stronger.
Finally...
Jing Yan paused his body; in his sight were some Martial Artists’ figures ahead.
Miles away, two figures were locked in battle. These Divine Power waves and Domain Powers were emanating from the two combatant Martial Artists.
Around these two fighting Martial Artists were quite a few other Martial Artists, apparently spectators.
And as Jing Yan noticed these Martial Artists, they all turned their gaze towards Jing Yan.
"Oh?"
"Look, another newcomer has arrived!"
"Haha... A newcomer indeed! How many years has it been since a newcomer entered the Land of Descent and came here?"
"Seems like a young chap!"
"I wonder, from which God Realm has he come?"
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."
Those Martial Artists, seeing Jing Yan, moved with excited expressions, quickly approaching Jing Yan’s location. Even the two previously battling Martial Artists ceased fighting and rushed towards Jing Yan’s location.
Jing Yan’s expression was solemn. At this moment, he couldn’t help but feel a bit nervous. Jing Yan could feel that each of these people were in the Nine Tripods Main God Realm, yet their aura was extremely powerful, very terrifying, not at all inferior to his fifth senior brother Sun Zhao.
These Nine Tripods Main Gods were definitely warriors whose combat power could rival that of a God Lord.
An additional testament to Jing Yan’s intuition was the previous combat between the two Martial Artists — their attack power was extremely frightening. Although Jing Yan was miles away, the sensation was clear.
Jing Yan did not turn around to flee, as he had nowhere to run. The light screen at the edge of the plaza, although it did not restrict entry to Martial Artists, made exiting exceedingly difficult.
Entering was easy; leaving was hard!
Soon, dozens of figures reached near Jing Yan.
They showed no intention of attacking Jing Yan, which made him relax slightly.
"All are in the Nine Tripods Main God Realm, with no Divine Lords!"
Initially, because of the distance, Jing Yan couldn’t be certain. Now, with these Martial Artists nearby, Jing Yan could accurately determine that they were all Nine Tripods Main Gods, and every single one of them was an exceptionally powerful Nine Tripods Main God.
"Indeed, a young lad!"
"Tsk tsk, so young, how did he enter the Land of Descent?"
"Could it be he stumbled in by accident?"
"Then his luck is incredibly poor! Once inside, there’s no way out!" These Martial Artists, without any scruples, conversed loudly in front of Jing Yan.
