299: Leaving the Dragon Demon Forest, the River of Death

Deep within the Forest of Dragon Demons.

A beam of golden spiritual light shot straight into the clouds, dyeing the sky gold as a thick aura of the Ancient Dragon Clan was released.

Su Yun and Luo Qingshuang rushed toward the area where the golden spiritual light was filling the sky.

An hour later.

The two of them finally arrived at the exit of the Forest of Dragon Demons.

At this time, many demon cultivators were already lingering near the exit.

They also noticed the arrival of Su Yun and Luo Qingshuang.

"Those two humans actually passed through the Forest of Dragon Demons unscathed?"

"Yeah, and there are clearly only two of them."

They're actually so powerful!"

"They are the disciples of that human powerhouse, so it's not surprising they're so strong."

The demon cultivators discussed amongst themselves.

They looked at Su Yun's group with envy.

After all, they had paid a heavy price to cross the Forest of Dragon Demons, consuming many of their trump cards. Not only had several demon cultivators in their teams died, but the remaining ones were all severely injured.

Su Yun and Luo Qingshuang paid no mind to the demon cultivators' chatter.

They stepped outside the exit of the Forest of Dragon Demons, and what met their eyes was a deep black River of Death Qi, its surface churning with thick, swirling Death Qi.

This Death Qi transformed into various dragon shadows, flying over the river's surface.

On the opposite side of the River of Death Qi stood a massive wall, within which were many halls thousands of feet in size, looking like a place where the Ancient Dragon Clan once lived.

"Senior Sister Qingshuang, it seems last night's Death Qi storm was likely related to this River of Death Qi."

Su Yun released his Divine Sense to begin perceiving the River of Death Qi.

He discovered that this River of Death Qi could not only corrode spiritual power but also Divine Sense, and its power was extremely formidable.

"Junior Brother Yun."

"If we want to continue exploring the Dragon Tomb Secret Realm, we need to cross this River of Death Qi."

Luo Qingshuang's expression was grave.

If they could fly, this River of Death Qi would be nothing to fear.

However, flight was forbidden here, so they could only cross directly over the River of Death Qi, which made it extremely dangerous.

"Indeed."

Su Yun noticed that the space here was very stable; even if he wanted to use the Void Roaming Art to teleport, he wouldn't be able to cover much distance.

It seemed there were no shortcuts to be taken; they had to cross directly.

Just then, a demon cultivator at the Soul Transformation Tenth Level from the Extreme Thunder Eagle Clan could wait no longer.

"I'll go first. I don't believe this River of Death Qi can stop me!"

He flickered forward, treading on thunder as he charged fiercely toward the River of Death Qi.

"Is that it? This isn't even hard!"

A moment later, the Extreme Thunder Eagle at the Soul Transformation Tenth Level spoke with some pride.

The deep purple thunder on his body formed a barrier, constantly resisting the Death Qi spreading toward him.

It was very easy at first, but when he had crossed one-fifth of the River of Death Qi, various dragon shadows suddenly attacked him.

He immediately released a sky full of thunder to attack, but unfortunately, it had little effect. These dragon shadows formed from Death Qi were extremely powerful; not only were they indestructible, but their attack power was also immense.

In an instant, his thunder barrier shattered, and he was struck by the Death Qi released by one of the dragon shadows.

"No!"

The Extreme Thunder Eagle at the Soul Transformation Tenth Level didn't dare continue crossing. He hurriedly used a secret technique to transform into thunder and fly back toward the shore, barely making it back.

He was now severely injured, with half his body corroded by Death Qi. He lay on the ground with a weak aura, swallowing a large pile of Medicinal Pills to heal.

"Isn't that the famous Genius of the Extreme Thunder Eagle Clan?"

Even he can't cross this River of Death Qi?"

"Is this River of Death Qi really that dangerous?"

How are we supposed to get across?"

"It seems we can only use the defensive trump cards given by the Old Ancestors."

The other demon cultivators present spoke with solemn expressions.

"Senior Sister Qingshuang, let's just head across."

Su Yun had finished observing the Extreme Thunder Eagle demon cultivator's attempt and had estimated the intensity of the River of Death Qi.

With his current strength, dealing with it would be easy.

"But, I expect my Heavenly Frost Sword Qi won't be very effective against this Death Qi."

Luo Qingshuang frowned slightly.

"It's fine, I'll take you across."

Just stay close to me in a moment, Senior Sister Qingshuang."

Su Yun waved his hand.

Then, with a flicker, he charged toward the River of Death Qi.

Seeing this, Luo Qingshuang followed closely behind.

The two of them suddenly rushing toward the River of Death Qi immediately caught the attention of the other demon cultivators:

"Look, those two humans are also planning to cross the river."

I wonder if they can make it?"

"They should be able to!"

They passed through the Forest of Dragon Demons unscathed, which means they are very strong. It's only normal they can cross the River of Death Qi."

"I wouldn't be so sure. They probably only made it through the Forest of Dragon Demons with luck since there were only two of them. To cross this River of Death Qi, you can't rely on luck; you need raw strength."

The dozens of demon cultivators at the entrance split into two sides, debating fervently.

At this moment, Su Yun and Luo Qingshuang arrived before the River of Death Qi.

Su Yun dashed into the River of Death Qi, with Luo Qingshuang following beside him.

"Heavenly Flame Art!"

Red and white flames flickered on his body, directly blocking the incoming Death Qi.

No matter how the surrounding Death Qi attacked him, it would be burned to ashes by the Heavenly Flame on his body.

"Heavenly Frost Sword Array!"

Luo Qingshuang also released thousands of Heavenly Frost Sword Qi, forming a sword array that circled around her.

The two quickly reached the area where the Soul Transformation Tenth Level Extreme Thunder Eagle had been attacked earlier.

Sensing two people trying to cross the River of Death Qi, the surrounding Death Qi began to churn violently. Even more dragon shadows than before suddenly appeared, launching attacks at the two of them.

The sky-filling Death Qi also transformed into a monstrous wave, crashing toward them.

"The power is decent, but it's useless against me."

"Nine Heavens Thunder Control Art!"

Su Yun reached out a hand, and in an instant, the world changed color. The originally bright sky suddenly darkened.

A heart-palpitating aura spread in all directions.

The demon cultivators on the shore also felt a massive sense of pressure.

"This is...?"

The demon cultivators of the Extreme Thunder Eagle Clan felt as if the thunder on their bodies was being heavily suppressed and was difficult to invoke.

At that moment, thousands of blinding flashes of lightning streaked across, instantly illuminating the gloomy River of Death Qi.

Then, with a gentle wave of Su Yun's hand, the sky-filling Nine Heavens Thunder transformed into a sea of lightning that surged directly toward those dragon shadows, shattering the surrounding Death Qi in an instant.

The dragon shadows struggled to mobilize the surrounding Death Qi to counter the sea of lightning, but it had no effect at all. They were directly blown to ashes by the Nine Heavens Thunder.

Afterward, with a thought from Su Yun, the remaining Nine Heavens Thunder condensed into a lightning ball thousands of feet in size and blasted forward. The originally dangerous Sea of Death Qi was struck by the lightning ball, causing a violent explosion. The bottomless River of Death Qi instantly split open with a massive gap, and the Death Qi for miles around was swallowed by the Nine Heavens Thunder.

"So strong."

Luo Qingshuang's red lips parted slightly, her beautiful eyes staring straight at Su Yun's handsome figure.

"It's alright."

Su Yun said nonchalantly.
