Boneyard.
This place used to be a vassal state called Sunset in the Divine Rock Empire. In the Sunset Vassal State, there were a total of sixty to seventy huge cities and countless small towns. Each city had a population of more than a hundred billion. It used to be an extremely prosperous country, but now it was shrouded in a deathly aura.
When the flaming airship flew down from the sky like a meteor carrying the divine power of fire, it whistled and illuminated this country. In the darkness, one could vaguely see the ruins standing on this piece of land.
The flaming airship quickly activated its invisible protective layer and disappeared into the night in a flash, as if it had crossed into another parallel space. In fact, it slowly stopped above the Boneyard.
"This is the Boneyard."
Bai Tian, Ye Chen and the others stood in the main control room. Through the airship's projection, they could see a black area on the ground below. It was shrouded in rolling black fog, like a natural barrier.
"Last time we found the traces of the mutated monster in the Virtual Sky World, it came from a light-year away and finally disappeared here. We were afraid of alerting it, so we didn't continue to track it."
Bai Tian looked at the Boneyard below and frowned slightly. "This used to be a vast forest with countless monsters living here. Now that the virus has mutated, it must be dangerous and unpredictable."
Huo Feng's expression was cold. He glanced at the map and said casually, "Just follow behind me later." As he spoke, he turned around and walked towards the cabin door of the airship.
White Dragon looked at his back and curled his lips, his face full of disdain. However, he didn't say anything and walked behind him with Ye Chen and the others.
Bai Tian and Saint King Lun Zhuan glanced at each other. They were both happy and relaxed and followed behind with smiles.
After they walked out of the flaming airship, Huo Feng waved his hand and the entire flaming airship disappeared with the wind like smoke. It was taken into his internal universe. Then, he raised his hand and took the lead to rush towards the black fog below.
Ye Chen, White Dragon and the others followed closely behind.
This black fog was like a huge black mass that covered the whole earth.
Huo Feng's entire body was burning with raging flames. He flew diagonally and crashed into the black cloud, stirring up countless black airflows that swirled around his body. However, they were burned and purified by the raging flames on his body.
When Ye Chen and the others saw this, they knew that there was something strange about this black fog. They immediately unleashed their respective powers and charged towards the black fog.
Ye Chen held Bai Yijun's hand. No energy appeared on his body. He just slammed into the black fog. However, the black fog seemed to be frightened. It was like a fragile eggshell that had a hole in it.
The White Dragon, Zhuge Fan, and the others behind him could not help but be startled. For a moment, they thought that it was an illusion.
In the blink of an eye, they gradually came into contact with the black fog. They saw a dense blue light emerge from the White Dragon's body, enveloping its body. Even the surrounding temperature quickly condensed.
Then, he charged headfirst into it.
Yue Heng, who was behind him, emitted an unparalleled wild power. It was as if the aura of countless fierce beasts had gathered together, forming a golden flame that soared into the sky. It directly tore through the black fog in front of him and flew in.
Zhuge Fan and Moon Spirit stood together. A layer of light that looked like stone chips appeared on Zhuge Fan's body, enveloping Moon Spirit inside.
Bai Tian and Saint King Lun Zhuan were behind them. Bai Tian's expression was indifferent. A soft white light appeared on his body, enveloping Saint King Lun Zhuan as well. The pure white light was in sharp contrast to the black fog.
After entering the black fog, Ye Chen immediately felt that the air around him was filled with a strong virus. There was also an unpleasant stench of corpses. People who had never smelled it before would never imagine that this stench was like countless corpses piled up together, together with the undigested food, feces, and urine in their organs mixed together.
"You guys lead the way." Huo Feng stood proudly in the air and said to Bai Tian.
Bai Tian and Saint King Lun Zhuan looked at each other and nodded. Then, they lowered their flying altitude and looked at the ground. Immediately, they saw a huge footprint imprinted on the ground. Looking at its direction, it should be heading southeast.
"Here." Bai Tian and Saint King Lun Zhuan led the way.
Huo Feng's figure flashed and followed behind.
White Dragon and the others followed behind Ye Chen. Their experience on Earth made them accustomed to listening to Ye Chen's command.
Ye Chen was not in a hurry at all. He slowly followed behind Huo Feng.
In this area, there were no buildings on the ground. There were towering black trees all around, like the barbs on the back of a giant beast, standing straight and sharp.
"These trees have also mutated under the infection of the virus." White Dragon said solemnly, "Everyone, don't get too close."
"En." Yue Heng and the others nodded.
It was a virus that could erode cultivators in the Virtual Sky World, so these flowers, plants, and trees naturally couldn't resist it. Although they were plants and didn't belong to the category of flesh and blood, under this terrifying virus, they were still mutated into terrifying unconscious monsters.
Bai Tian and Saint King Lun Zhuan took the lead and followed the huge footprints on the ground.
Ye Chen found that these huge footprints emitted a strong virus gas. If ordinary Divine Spirit Realm cultivators were to come into contact with such gas, they would be immediately infected and mutated into bloodthirsty mutated creatures.
In this area shrouded in black fog, the virus gas inside was ten times denser than outside.
However, Ye Chen found that as soon as the virus gas entered his body through his pores, it was burned and devoured by the black flames in his body. He was not afraid at all.
"Could it be that after being tempered by the Divine Fire, my body is no longer afraid of this virus?"
Ye Chen's eyes flickered. After being tempered by the Divine Fire, his bones, blood, and everything else in his body had already become the hottest flames. He was immune to all flames, so he didn't expect it to be able to resist such a terrible virus.
Ye Chen tilted his head and glanced at Bai Yijun, Yue Heng, and the others beside him. He found that all kinds of energy appeared on the surface of their bodies, firmly protecting them.
"Big Brother Ye, if you don't use an energy shield to isolate the virus, you will be infected." Zhuge Fan saw Ye Chen's swaggering appearance and couldn't help but say anxiously.
Ye Chen smiled and said, "It's okay, my body is immune to this virus."
White Dragon, Zhuge Fan, and the others were stunned. Then, their eyes suddenly shrank and their faces were full of disbelief. They said in shock, "How is it possible? This virus is difficult for even the experts of the Heaven-defying Realm to resist it with their bodies. How can you … Could it be that you are already an expert of the Heaven-defying Realm, or … the Supreme of the World who has surpassed the Heaven-defying Realm?"
Seeing the shocked faces of White Dragon and the others, Ye Chen touched his nose and said, "No, this is just the result of the experience of the Fire-Blood Phoenix senior."
White Dragon's eyes widened and said, "There is such an effect?
How is it possible!
Tell me honestly, what have you been doing for tens of thousands of years? "
Ye Chen glanced at him. "I don't mind testing my cultivation on you."
White Dragon's neck shrank. "Forget it, I still want to live a few more years and pick up a few more girls."
Yue Heng looked at him with disdain. "One day, you will die on a woman's body."
"That's very good. Under the moonlight, I can still be a romantic ghost."
Zhuge Fan looked at him helplessly, then turned to look at Ye Chen excitedly and said, "Big Brother Ye, you must have become stronger now. When we find that monster in the Virtual Sky World later, let's take it for ourselves, okay?"
Ye Chen knocked him on the head. "Good my ass."
Zhuge Fan rubbed his head and said sadly, "Can't you beat that Huo Feng?
If you can beat him, then just kill him. "
"He is still useful to us."
Ye Chen looked up at Huo Feng in front of them, his eyes flashing slightly. Then, he looked down at Zhuge Fan and the others and said, "When we see the monster later, if the situation is not right, when I tell you to retreat, you must leave quickly."
White Dragon put away the playful smile on his face. He frowned and transmitted his voice: "Did you discover something?"
Ye Chen glanced at him. He knew that although this man looked playful, he was a meticulous person. He nodded slightly and said, "Look at the natural black fog barrier outside. Those who want to come in have to be at least God Emperors. Otherwise, once they touch this natural barrier, they will immediately be infected by the violent virus on it. And this kind of illumination covers a distance of two light-years!"
"Although a monster in the Virtual Sky World can use this kind of power, it is very difficult to maintain it like this."
When everyone heard his words, they immediately reacted. They looked up at the dark gray sky and frowned.
"There is one more."
Ye Chen's gaze became deep as he stared at the horizon in front of them. "I don't know if you have released your divine senses here. After we entered this black fog, the space here seems to be blocking divine senses. This situation is just like on Earth."
White Dragon frowned and said, "I felt this before, but I thought it was a problem with the environment here. Now, it seems like there is something powerful here that can block divine senses."
"That's right." Ye Chen nodded slightly.
Zhuge Fan was shocked and said, "Then let's quickly inform them and retreat together. According to this situation, there must be something terrifying hiding here."
White Dragon looked at him with a smile and said with interest, "Don't you understand? Little Chenchen has always been very insidious. He wants them to lure out that powerful thing. If they can beat it, they will fight it. If they can't, we will run. He is using them as bait."
Zhuge Fan came to a realization and immediately laughed.
