532 Five Elements Danger Zone
After leaving the Bai Xiang Kingdom, Li Xiang’s army finally entered the wilderness. There were all kinds of terrifying and gloomy forests on the road, and weeds as tall as a person were everywhere.
In the past, Li Xiang had thought that the wilderness would definitely be desolate. Only now did he know that he was ridiculously wrong.
Some soldiers were leading the way with sabers in their hands. They cut down the branches, vines, and weeds to open up a path.
It was easy for those above-Rank-150 warriors to make a path. However, it was inevitable that the army’s speed was slower.
As the army advanced, the killing intent of the army was extremely intimidating. This was why many demon beasts and fierce beasts did not dare to approach. They all instinctively hid in all directions.
Nothing was in their way and they had unknowingly advanced for over a hundred kilometers.
“Something is wrong!”
Suddenly, the expression of the scout at the very front changed slightly. He suddenly squatted down and made a hand gesture to the back.
The few scouts felt that something was strange. It was extremely quiet.
Suddenly, Ye Qiu let out a cry of surprise. The army instantly stopped advancing, and all of them turned their heads to Ye Qiu.
“Tsk tsk. I never thought that I would be able to see such a place in the Myriad World Continent!”
Li Xiang asked, “What’s going on?”
“Your majesty, there’s something wrong with this place. It’s called Five Elements Danger Zone!”
“Five Elements Danger Zone? What’s this?” Fu Mingxue frowned and asked.
“Everyone knows about the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth! Any blessed land would usually favor a certain element, or even have all five elements. However, the Five Elements Danger Zone is different. The invisible land is formed by a single invisible force. Once it is formed, this place will undergo a strange change!”
“For example, if the metal element gathers here, this place will become an area with only the metal element. In this area, all energy other than the metal element was rejected. To other powers, this place is insulated.”
“Even common metal-attribute materials will be broken down into the purest power of the metal element. It can not accommodate any kind of species, or any other energies. It could be said to be a barren land. A place like this will become a dangerous place because the energy is too pure. Ordinary Transcendents will die immediately if they get close to this kind of place!”
“Of course, this place is a dangerous place for those who are not strong enough. However, for those who are strong enough, it is a treasure land, and it is very likely to produce top rank treasures!
“As for what the treasures would be, I don’t know!”
“Is this a Five Elements Danger Zone?” Li Xiang asked in surprise.
“Yes! I felt something was wrong just now. It was too quiet here. There was almost no life in the surroundings. In the area we’ve passed before, all kinds of demon beasts and fierce beasts are fleeing in all directions, and there are also countless snakes, insects, rats, and ants around. As long as you carefully sense, you can still sense them. But in this area, there’s no sign of life at all. Something’s not right.”
“I’ve checked carefully just now. There’s Sharp Qi here. If I’m not mistaken, this must be a Metal Danger Zone!”
Ye Qiu was very confident in his own professional abilities and quickly explained his judgment.
“In that case, let’s go and take a look!”
Li Xiang was curious. Since he had come across such a strange place, he naturally had to explore it. In any case, the matter of rushing to the gathering place was not urgent, so it did not matter whether they arrived early or late.
Now that an opportunity had appeared, he could not miss it.
“Metal Danger Zone must be nurturing a massive amount of Metal Power, or even the Metal Origin. If I can devour and refine such a place, it might bring about an astonishing transformation to my Tower of Stars. Or, I can merge it with my Eight Trigrams Yin-Yang grotto-heaven, and it will definitely make me stronger!”
A thought flashed through his mind.
He didn’t worry too much about the growth of the Tower of Stars. The majority of the time, the Tower of Stars grew by absorbing the Star Power.
The speed of that kind of growth was very slow. If he wanted to make it quicker, he would have to consume a huge amount of resources. Moreover, there was no limit.
If he was strong enough, he would even want to absorb the entire Myriad World Continent into the Tower of Stars. That would definitely allow this treasure to be terrifyingly strong.
However, it was a pity that he could not do that. He did not know if the Tower of Stars could absorb the entire world. To be honest, he was far from being able to do so with his current strength.
Under Ye Qiu’s guidance, the army’s direction was adjusted to the west.
This time, along the way, everyone gradually discovered the abnormality here.
In the beginning, the vegetation and flowers became sparse, and later there was nothing around them. The ground was golden brown. Then they met a golden mist which made it impossible for them to see what was going on inside.
Not long after, those people were shocked by what they saw.
The entire ground seemed to be covered in gold. The ground was golden, the stones were golden, and there was nothing else. It was a desolate place.
The entire world seemed to have turned into a golden world. However, it was not some normal color. It was a color of the metal.
The most important thing was that the center was covered by a layer of golden mist. Those people could clearly sense the extremely dense power of the metal element in the mist.
The mist looked harmless, but it was actually extremely dangerous.
“Catch a fierce beast and bring it over!”
Li Xiang casually gave an order, and immediately, some soldiers moved. They quickly turned around and leaped out of the troop.
“This is indeed a Metal Danger Zone. The power of metal is the sharpest power in the world. Such a dangerous place is generally a forbidden area for life. Common animals or people should never get any closer to this place.”
However, Li Xiang’s eyes were shining with excitement.
He could sense the rich energy of the Metal Law here.
Perhaps Li Xiang could comprehend another type of Power of Law here.
He looked really excited at that time. He did not care about any treasures or resources. Laws were the most attractive to him.
Although Li Xiang had already comprehended many Laws, he had not made much progress because of the short period of time. However, this did not stop him from wanting to comprehend more laws.
The Metal Law was one of the Five Element Laws, which was the fundamental Law of the world. It looked ordinary, but it was extremely important.
Li Xiang’s path to becoming a god was already very different from the others in this world, so now he could only rely on himself.
Soon, the warriors who went out to catch the beasts came back. The three of them caught a beast each.
“You majesty, we’ve caught the fierce beasts!”
