Chapter 415: Chapter 329: Emperor's Perishing No Return Domain_1
Emperor's Perishing No Return Domain, one of the most dangerous forbidden territories in the Divine Realm, is where the remnants of battles between Divine Emperors linger. Despite billions of years having passed, it still pulsates with terrifying power fluctuations to this day.
In such a place, even Divine Venerables dare not enter rashly. Qi Jingtian ascended not long ago, yet he went there?
Blunt Empty Venerable said, "It's true, someone saw him enter the Emperor's Perishing No Return Domain, roughly half a month ago."
Li Cheng pondered, "Senior, do you know much about the Emperor's Perishing No Return Domain?"
Li Cheng was aware of this place; he had read about it in books, but the descriptions of it were scarce.
After all, those who entered and came back safely were often of the Divine Emperor level, and few of them would write about their experiences.
"To say I understand it would be an overstatement. I've wandered through it in the past. It's eternally dark in there, with shattered continents visible everywhere, and it seems boundlessly vast."
"Your disciple's true form is a great demon of heaven and earth; he must have ventured in there to devour and assimilate those shattered continents!"
The shattered continents could very well be fragments of the Divine Worlds of fallen Divine Emperors. If Qi Jingtian could assimilate some of them, the benefits would certainly be tremendous, but being only a Heaven God, he would likely face a fate of almost certain death upon entering.
Although he possesses the "Protect the Calf" function, in such a place, should he encounter danger, rescue may come too late to help.
And since even Divine Venerables don't dare to enter rashly, Li Cheng might not be able to save him, even if he went.
Li Cheng nodded, "I'll still go take a look, while he hasn't ventured too deep."
Blunt Empty Venerable shook his head, "You're mistaken. Those shattered continents are constantly moving, drifting unpredictably. Once inside, it's easy to get lost, and finding somebody in there is difficult!"
"I think that with the special abilities of a great demon of heaven and earth, he should thrive in there. If you go, you might not be able to find him and instead get lost yourself."
Thrive like a fish in water, huh? That seemed to be the case.
But Li Cheng couldn't set his mind at ease. Whether he could find him or not, he had to take a look.
Having made his decision, Li Cheng said, "Uncle Master, I'll still go have a look!"
Blunt Empty Venerable looked at Li Cheng, fell silent for a moment, then said, "Take the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle and that mole with you!"
Li Cheng happily agreed; those two creatures had been cultivating within the Blunt Empty Residence for thousands of years and deserved to come out for some fresh air.
Taking Er Shou with him, Li Cheng rushed towards the Emperor's Perishing No Return Domain.
A few days later, a man with two beasts arrived in front of a city. The words 'No Return City' were engraved upon its walls.
The city's existence was ancient because occasionally treasures would drift out from the Emperor's Perishing No Return Domain. Many people waited here long-term to try their luck, and over time, a city formed outside the Emperor's Perishing No Return Domain.
A hundred miles north of No Return City lay the Emperor's Perishing No Return Domain!
A hundred miles apart, one could already see the massive space rift, looming like a giant maw upon the wasteland.
Inside the maw was pitch black, much worse than the Three-way Abyss had been.
"So that's the Emperor's Perishing No Return Domain. I thought it was part of Land Puppet Mansion's territory; I didn't expect it to be like this!" exclaimed the Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle.
"Indeed, the Emperor's Perishing No Return Domain is hidden behind a space rift, encompassed in dark heaven and earth. But the space in the Divine Realm is so stable that even if a space rift is cleaved open, it should recover in an instant. How can this one still be unrepaired?" mused the mole.
Li Cheng was also curious about this issue, but after some investigation, he discovered that the space rift was sealed by an incredibly powerful force, preventing it from healing.
Whoever was capable of such a feat must undoubtedly be a Divine Emperor.
The Heaven Escaping Divine Turtle looked at Li Cheng, "Boss, this area is under a space-restricting ban, isn't it?
Li Cheng nodded, "To reach the entrance of the Emperor's Perishing No Return Domain, one must enter the city, which requires a fee of a hundred Divine Stones. It seems that Land Puppet Mansion is making a profit from the Emperor's Perishing No Return Domain."
Indeed, the Emperor's Perishing No Return Domain had been turned into a sort of tourist spot, where one had to pay Divine Stones to visit.
With an entry fee of a hundred Divine Stones per person, the accumulated income over the years must be substantial.
Li Cheng didn't know if this was Blunt Empty Venerable's idea or a money-making method passed down, but it didn't matter to him. Without revealing his Mansion Venerable Order, he paid three hundred Divine Stones and entered the city with Er Shou.
"Come take a look! The Emperor's Perishing No Return Domain guidebook, with this, you're guaranteed safe entry and exit..."
"Detailed explanation of treasures emerging from the Emperor's Perishing No Return Domain, come and see, find the pattern and secure your fortune!"
...
Various hawkers' cries were incessant throughout the city.
The mole scoffed, "Those claiming to sell treasures are all selling junk; they're all swindlers!"
Without needing to check, who didn't know that these people were just exploiting the name of the Emperor's Perishing No Return Domain to scam others?
Without lingering, Li Cheng, with Er Shou in tow, headed straight for the space rift.
Approaching it, the space rift in front of them seemed to connect to the horizon, making everything in its presence seem extraordinarily minuscule.
Many people sat around it, cultivating while waiting for treasures to fly out from the rift.
Inside was the former battlefield of Divine Emperor-level powerhouses, with many Divine Emperors perishing there. Numerous people had entered to explore since then, and most died inside, so the riches within were not few.
If one were lucky enough to find a highly valuable item, they might not need to worry about resources for countless eons.
With many people waiting outside on the chance of treasure, surely there must be many who enter as well.
Although even Divine Venerables are wary, if one doesn't venture too deep, there's still a chance to fly out safely.
