Chapter 1968
After calming himself down, Xiao Chen began to approach the mountain. There was no point in bragging. He had to take down the secret of the East Emperor Forbidden Zone.
The nine mountains in the periphery were tens of thousands of meters high. Although they were very tall, they were nothing to a powerhouse like Xiao Chen. This was because Xiao Chen could sense that there were no formations or restrictions on the mountains. Only a small part of the mountain was covered by the poisonous fog.
Xiao Chen did not need to climb to the top of the mountain. He only needed to go around the middle of the mountain. His intuition told him that the ultimate secret of the East Emperor Forbidden Zone was in the middle of the mountain. Otherwise, the terrain of the nine dragons would be meaningless.
Although Xiao Chen could fly, he did not use it. In such a strange place, he felt that it was better to have his feet on the ground.
After about two hours, Xiao Chen successfully went around the back of the mountain. He did not encounter any danger, but the invisible pressure was much stronger. He also felt that the air was chilly.
“Hmm?
An iceberg?
This … ”
When he saw that the central mountain was covered by a thick layer of ice, Xiao Chen was surprised. When he was outside, his line of sight was blocked, so he did not see it clearly.
Xiao Chen could not figure out why the central mountain was an iceberg, so he asked the Fengsha Sword, “Xiao Sha, why is the central mountain an iceberg?
And the surrounding nine mountains do not seem to be affected much. There is almost no ice layer.
It feels so strange … ”
“Big Brother, you ask me, but who should I ask?” Fengsha Sword said humorously, “I guess there is an iceberg beauty living in the central mountain?”
“Iceberg beauty?
Uh … you really have a good imagination. ”
Xiao Chen rolled his eyes and ignored the Fengsha Sword’s wild guesses. He used his heart to sense the iceberg, hoping to find some clues.
“Eh?
What a big deal! “After sensing for a while, Xiao Chen’s expression changed slightly.
He said in surprise, “Xiao Sha, did you notice that the surface of the iceberg is wrapped by a layer of colorless strange energy? It is this strange energy that effectively prevents the leakage of the cold air. Otherwise, the nine mountains nearby would become icebergs!”
“Big Brother, you feel it too?”
The Fengsha Sword seemed to have sensed the uniqueness of the iceberg long ago. “The strange energy you mentioned is actually a kind of restrictive energy. It seems that a supreme master had purposely set up a layer of restrictive energy around the iceberg.”
“Restriction?
An unparalleled expert? ”
Xiao Chen muttered to himself for a while and agreed, “The expert who set up the seal is at least a Half-step Emperor God or even an Emperor God.”
“Big Brother, you’ve underestimated the master of the Grand-Orient Forbidden Zone.”
The Fengsha Sword became serious, which was rare for it. “According to my speculation, the master of the East Emperor Forbidden Zone has at least reached the God Emperor Realm. He might have even broken through the God Emperor Realm and entered the legendary Immortal Realm!”
“Celestial Realm?” Xiao Chen was taken aback. He asked, “Xiao Sha, do you believe that celestials really exist in this world?”
“Yes, why not?”
The Fengsha Sword said affirmatively, “Since there are gods in this world, it’s not surprising that celestials exist. There might even be existences of a higher level than celestials. It’s just that we’re not powerful enough to reach that realm.”
“Mm, Xiao Sha, you’re right.”
Xiao Chen agreed. He looked at the iceberg again and asked, “Xiao Chen, do you have any way to break the restriction?”
“No,” the Fengsha Sword answered straightforwardly.
“No?”
Xiao Chen couldn’t help but stare at the Fengsha Sword and scolded, “Xiao Sha, you’re a formation expert. Do you really have no way?”
“Big Brother, I really don’t.”
The Fengsha Sword said helplessly, “My current power is miles away from the Emperor God Realm. How can I break the restriction set up by an Emperor God Realm expert?
Do you think I’m a celestial being? ”
“Well … Alright.”
Xiao Chen believed that the Fengsha Sword wasn’t hiding anything, so he stopped asking. He pondered for a moment and said, “Xiao Sha, let’s see if we can enter the restriction directly.”
“Enter directly?” The Fengsha Sword was shocked and said loudly, “Big Brother, are you out of your mind?
The restriction is usually lethal. If you barge in recklessly, you might be instantly killed by the restriction. What’s the difference between that and getting yourself killed? ”
“Uh …” Xiao Chen was dumbfounded and did not know whether to laugh or cry. “Xiao Sha, do you think I’m that stupid?
I have to make sure that the restriction isn’t dangerous before I decide if I should barge in. ”
“That’s more like it, hahaha.” The Fengsha Sword laughed and ignored the first half of Xiao Chen’s sentence.
“You … Haha.”
Xiao Chen smiled and glanced at the ground nearby. He bent down and picked up a stone the size of a fist. Without injecting any Emperor Power into the stone, he hurled it at the iceberg with his strength.
“Whoosh ~”
The stone flew through the air at an incredible speed. It covered the distance of tens of thousands of feet in just a dozen breaths.
“No way …”
What happened next left Xiao Chen dumbfounded. He thought that the stone would be stopped by the restriction, but the stone went through it easily. It was as if the restriction was air, or even worse than air. At least there was some resistance from air.
“Bang!”
“Boom!”
“Rumble!”
The stone easily passed through the restriction and crashed into the hard ice mountain, directly exploding into pieces. At the same time the stone exploded, a large hole was blasted into the ice mountain. Pieces of ice splattered everywhere and finally slid down the steep ice mountain.
“There’s no resistance at all?
Is this still a restriction? ”
Xiao Chen found it unbelievable. He did not expect the restriction to have no resistance against the iceberg.
“Big Brother, there’s something strange about this restriction.”
The Fengsha Sword was also puzzled. After some thought, he voiced his opinion, “Perhaps this restriction doesn’t respond to inanimate objects but only to living things?”
“Xiao Sha, your speculation is not unreasonable.”
Xiao Chen frowned and said awkwardly, “There’s not even a small animal here except for us. What are we going to use to test if the restriction is dangerous?”
“Why don’t you give it a try, Big Brother?
Hehe. “The Fengsha Sword grinned.
“Me?”
Xiao Chen was slightly stunned. He stared at the Fengsha Sword with his eyes wide open. He knew that the Fengsha Sword was joking with him, so he played along and said, “Xiao Sha, wait here. I’ll go and try now …”
“Don’t!
Don’t, Big Brother. Do you still want to try? ”
The Fengsha Sword panicked. “I’m just joking with you. Don’t take it seriously. If you’re in danger, Second Brother will die with you. I’ll be heartbroken too.”
“Alright, Xiao Sha. I’m just joking with you. Hehe.” Xiao Chen smiled and stopped teasing the Fengsha Sword.
“Clang!”
At that moment, a loud and dull bell sound came from inside the iceberg. It was no different from the previous bell sound. Clearly, it was the same thing.
“Bell?”
Although his eardrums were hurting and his blood was boiling, Xiao Chen did not care about his physical discomfort. He cared about the real body of the bell. His eyes glowed with anticipation.
“Xiao Sha, Da Huang, it seems that the real body of the bell is inside this iceberg. I’m looking forward to seeing its true appearance. If it’s an invincible artifact or even a legendary immortal artifact, then we’ll be rich.”
