After we broke up, I awakened my divine body. Why are you crying?

Deep in the ancient forbidden mountain, there exists a strange power that can devour lifespan. This is the so-called life forbidden zone!

The cultivators from Daoyi Holy Land, the Shen family and the Dragon Clan who were present also quickly realized this.

They watched helplessly as the middle-aged man's face withered instantly, and he eventually died of old age on the spot.

Things like this happened so quickly and so suddenly that it was hard for people to react.

After realizing this, they immediately retreated quickly.

But it was obviously a little late.

When they left the area where the forbidden energy was flowing, everyone seemed to have grown much older in an instant.

Young people become middle-aged, and middle-aged people become old and have a head full of white hair.

But only Ji Chen saw it with his own eyes.

Looking at the changes that took place in these people, he couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

Although he did feel that the speed at which the vitality in his body was draining away had increased a lot, this acceleration was obviously not as exaggerated as what happened to them.

In just a dozen or so breaths, some people died of old age.

In other words, in just a dozen breaths, dozens or even hundreds of years of life passed away.

Such speed is truly amazing.

But Ji Chen was different. He could clearly sense that even with the blessing of this forbidden power, the passage of his lifespan would at most be one or two times faster than usual.

It is equivalent to him staying here for one day, and the life span that passes is only a few days.

"Because of the divine body?"

This was the first reaction that came to Ji Chen's mind, and he couldn't help but feel ecstatic.

The powerful divine body can actually resist even this force that can devour one's lifespan.

If that is true, and I hide in it, then even if Daoyi or the Holy Lord of the Shen family comes, they will not dare to enter the mountain to look for me.

Looking at the monks not far away whose faces had become much older, Ji Chen did not attack them.

In his opinion, letting them continue to live like this would be much more painful than killing them directly.

Soon, he turned around and continued walking deeper into the mountains without looking back.

Ji Chen was surprised to find that the vegetation in the mountains here was much more lush than that outside, showing a vitality that was very different from what he expected.

After all, in such an environment, all life would be difficult to survive, but these plants are the exception.

Moreover, perhaps because of the existence of such a forbidden force, when arriving in such an area, there are no longer any monsters seen in the mountains.

Obviously, even powerful ancient monsters regarded this as a restricted area and did not dare to enter easily.

Along the way, he saw some huge skeletons, all of which had been dead in the same place for a long time. These were the corpses of the monsters in the mountains. For some unknown reason, they broke into this restricted area, ran out of lifespan, and died here.

The further you go into the mountains, the more luxuriant the ancient trees appear. They are all lush and green, completely blocking out the sky, and no sunlight can be seen.

It is very quiet here, especially at night. You can't hear the roar of animals or the chirping of insects. It is so quiet that it makes people feel a little scared.

Because there was no threat from monsters, Ji Chen could continue walking in the mountains even at night.

He was very curious about this place and wanted to explore it.

An ancient forbidden zone for life. For countless years, very few people have been able to reach such a place.

However, Ji Chen, who possesses a divine body, seemed to be strolling in his own back garden.

This was definitely a good thing for him, as it meant that he could freely explore opportunities in the deep mountains here, and he didn't want to miss it.

In a blink of an eye, it was the third night.

That night, Ji Chen found a place to rest.

Under a big tree not far from him, there was a dead skeleton. It was a person who had been dead for who knows how many years. He was leaning against the tree and died quietly.

In fact, this was not the first time Ji Chen had seen such a scene along the way.

According to legend, in the ancient times, the forbidden power in this forbidden mountain was far not as strong as it is today. Therefore, some people with powerful cultivation could walk in it for a period of time without quickly aging.

Most of the dry bones that Ji Chen saw were pioneers from the ancient times. They came here to explore, but in the end none of them were able to walk out alive.

Looking at the dry bones not far away, Ji Chen couldn't help but wonder if one day he would become one of them?

Gradually, he fell asleep.

It was not until the next morning that Ji Chen woke up.

He continued to explore opportunities in the mountains.

But in this mountain, apart from the power that can devour people's lifespan, there is almost nothing else to be found.

Ji Chen knew clearly that outside the mountain, most of the forces such as Daoyi Holy Land were guarding it. He did not dare to go out easily and could only continue to hide here for a month or even longer.

You must make sure it is safe before you dare to leave.

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

During this period of time, Ji Chen searched an area every day, drank mountain spring water when he was thirsty, and ate wild fruits when he was hungry.

After all, with his cultivation suppressed, he could not sustain his life by absorbing spiritual energy from heaven and earth, and he had to eat in order to stay alive.

It is worth mentioning that there are many wild fruits in the mountains and they are easy to find, so Ji Chen does not have to worry too much about food.

The only regret is that these wild fruits are just ordinary wild fruits and will not bring any help to the improvement of his cultivation.

At first, when Ji Chen first found the wild fruits, he wondered whether they were rare spiritual fruits, or even the legendary holy fruits.

But obviously, he was overthinking it.

On this day, Ji Chen continued to search in the mountains aimlessly.

He came to the top of a high mountain and could vaguely sense that the forbidden power in this mountain was much stronger than that in other places, which accelerated the loss of vitality in Ji Chen's body several times.

He guessed that there must be something fishy going on here, so he started looking for it.

Finally, night fell and he reached the top of the mountain.

That night, the sky was exceptionally clear, with the bright moon and stars shining brightly for the first time in a long time.

There is no grass or trees on the top of this mountain, the ground is covered with sand, and it is filled with dead silence.

Ji Chen looked around and found something unusual not far away.

He walked over quickly and found an ancient cave entrance. It was pitch black inside and he could not see anything. He could faintly hear a powerful aura pouring out of the cave, which made him feel a little scared.

Outside the cave, Ji Chen saw the skeleton of another pioneer. He had existed for who knows how many years and died here in a cross-legged position.

He approached and found a line of red words written on the ground in front of the skeleton.

"The great way of life is eternal, but looking back at the mortal world is just a dream..."

Ji Chen whispered to himself and slowly read out the words on the ground.

Such a sentence was actually written in blood, and it has not dried yet, as if it was just written not long ago. Under the bright moonlight, it was particularly dazzling, and there was a faint inexplicable force emanating from it!

"Blood of the Ancient Emperor!"

Ji Chen was shocked. This was actually an ancient emperor who had been dead for who knows how many years.

Moreover, only the blood of the ancient emperor can last forever in the world.
