412 Chapter 404: The Blinking Meteor!
Wengg!!
Psheww!!
Just like that, Duan Li quickly bolted through the air while also making use of his teleportation ability using the maximum distance his eyes could see, and the speed at which he was traversing at was several times faster than the speed of sound!
In fact, the intense friction against the wooden cone shield that he held in his arm while bolting through the air caused its front surface to burst into flames, creating a spectacular scene of a ball of fire that appeared and reappeared many times in the sky, where some wandering travellers that had witnessed this to call the phenomena as the the Blinking Meteor event!
Soon after, Duan Li and Wang Dong entered the wild lands region, which was the majority of the uninhabitable part of the Tian continent, where it was said that even Nascent Soul realm experts would have to tread very carefully in order to remain alive!
However, such places was not of concern to Duan Li, and they didn't even possess the capabilities or means to stop him!
In front of him lays the lush forest of toxic flora where the environment was filled with poisonous gases that could erode one's flesh and skin in an instant, and that the canopy was even higher than that from the Forest of Slumber, reaching 300 meters into the sky itself, creating a miniature world of its own under it!
Pshew!!
BOOOOMMMM!!
Just like that, the passing duo created a series of huge explosion wherever they passed through, the reason being was that Duan Li punched everything in his path to oblivion!
BOOOMMM!! BOOOMMM!!
Combustible gases exploded when coming into contact with the burst of flames on Duan Li's cone shield, rampaging the flora with deadly forest fire that burned for several kilometers each!
BOOOMMMM!!
Next, they arrived in a mountainous terrain where the peaks were shaped like that of a sword's, creating a depiction of it trying to pierce the heavens with a thousand sword arrays!
It was said that this place was special, in that it was a useful place where sword masters could practice and cultivate their sword arts due to the hints of sword wisdom that could whisper on one's ear during the practice and pursuit of the sword path to perfection!
BOOOMMM!! BOOMMM!!
Just like that, the passing duo had forcefully chopped off several hundreds of the mountain peaks in this region to become like the flatlands of flat chested maidens, and several sword masters shrieked in horror upon seeing this devastation happening on their holy land!
"What in the name of the Sword God Tenguu is happening?! Someone stop that thing!"
"Ahh! The Everlasting sword peak is destroyed! All the thousand wisdom of the Sword Gujian Sect is now gone!"
"Aiyaa! That's my neighbour's twin sword peaks! He'll be a mad bull once he returned only to find out that his wife's chest had become flat! Welp, I better move out from here!"
"No!! My ancestor's grave!"
Several shouts from aggrieved sword masters began to echo in the sky, as if wallowing the lost of their loved ones.
BOOMMM!! BOOMMM!!
Not too long later, the Duo passed through another region where a floating island in the shape of a sphere that was about one kilometer in diameter exist.
This place was known to be one of the hotspot for treasure hunters due to how the spherical island was floating mysteriously. Some experts in archeology theorized that there was a powerful artifact in the core of the island which was what was keeping it afloat.
However, a mysterious and powerful barrier that was impenetrable surrounded this small floating island which repels anyone from entering it!
Therefore, the treasure hunters could only wander around it to see if they could activate any mechanism that would allow them to enter the island.
Wengg!!
A teleportation portal suddenly appeared on top of all these masses before a ball of fire emerged from it and blitzed through the sky!
"Oh no! What is that? It will hit the island!"
PENGGG!!
Just like that, Duan Li's forceful entry into the region and flying at a breakneck speed caused him to collide against the barrier of the floating island, producing a deafening sound!
"Ahh!! The island is rolling away from the impact! Quickly, follow it!"
Thousands of people began to rush and followed the island that was currently rolling away like a ball, causing whatever flora and fauna inside it to be turned upside down!
From the accounts of witness, they saw the lake inside that island had poured all over the fauna during the roll while the wild monsters inside it was thrown into the air along with a few hundreds of tropical coconuts mixed in, making people recall the tasty fruit punch juice they had way back home!
Shing!!
Moreover, whatever barrier that it had before was now deactivated for reasons unknown, and this caused the treasure hunters to become thrilled as they excitedly embark on their quest to find powerful artifacts on the floating island that was now several kilometers away from its original spot!
Duan Li continued to traverse the huge lands of the Tian continent unabated and unstoppable in similar manner and happenings, to the point where historians would later record these connected events as something unique that could only happen once every few thousand years!
Some said that it was a natural phenomena, while others claimed that they saw a powerful expert was the one that caused it!
In addition, most people agreed that the event was a blessing as a lot of the uninhabitable and dangerous lands was partly destroyed, giving new access to people to enter them where they couldn't before. In fact, some even met their fruitful encounters and advanced their cultivation by leaps and bounds because of it!
Meanwhile, some people called it as the day of misfortune instead. After all, some holy lands for cultivators was destroyed as a result. But when a wise and renown expert with long white hairs and long white beard said that such a tragedy was only because of the balance of Yin and Yang following the nature of the world of reconciliation between good and bad, these people began to accept and treat it as another aspect and vicissitudes of life.
As the man that caused it all, Duan Li was of course oblivious that his actions had created a huge ripple in the world. All he wanted to after all, was to arrive as quickly as he can!
The earlier he could arrive at his destination, the sooner he could save his mother and aunt!
...
"We are now about a few kilometers away from the borders of the Doulou Empire, get ready.." Duan Li said to Wang Dong when he saw a huge and tall walls of about a hundred meters in height from the distance.
Wang Dong's face was pale and dried like a twig from the countless pukes he threw along the way on their travels, so he could only reply with a weak nod, as if his soul was floating away from his mouth.
Soon after, they finally arrived at the gate to enter the Doulou Empire!
"You two! Hold it right there!"
