But they had never encountered such a bizarre situation before.

Chen Sheng didn’t respond.

With a stern expression, he slowly extended his hand into the midair.

He couldn’t feel any airflow.

Everything around him seemed to have come to a standstill.

“Have any of you come across such a situation before?” Chen Sheng fixed his gaze on Chou and Mao. They both shook their heads in unison.

“Report to sir.”

“Since the Slumbering Land doesn’t have any seals, if the Heavenly Person’s anomaly leaks, it usually leads to drastic changes in Heaven and Earth.”

“We have never seen such calmness like this before.” Mr. Mao spoke softly.

He was also watching his surroundings cautiously.

“No need to scatter anymore, instruct everyone to get close.”

“Yes.”

Every follower of the Holy Sect maintained a distance of tens of meters for dealing with sudden situations.

Now,

At Mr. Mao’s command,

All the followers of the Holy Sect drew closer, forming a square formation behind the three persons.

As for this move, even those who hadn’t initially noticed the anomaly,

Now also realized something unusual.

“Everyone, stay alert.”

“If there’s any situation, immediately alert.”

‘Yes!”

Everyone responded.

Even though their voices were deliberately kept low, they still seemed particularly prominent in the eerily quiet environment.

“Did you encounter such a situation when you were observing the location previously?”

Chen Sheng looked towards Mr. Chou.

The latter had been observing the Martial Arts Association’s actions in this dense forest, confirming the location of the Slumbering Land, and then sent the information to Mr. Mao.

“When I left earlier, I didn’t encounter such a situation.”

He informed Chen Sheng of the earlier observed deployment and the total numbers of the Martial Arts Association’s personnel. Mr. Chou spoke with a hint of apprehension in his eyes.

When he left earlier,

The Martial Arts Association and the Wu’an Bureau had just started patrolling.

But now,

In his perception,

There isn’t the slightest noise at the location of the Slumbering Land.

The people from the Martial Arts Association and the Wu’an Bureau seemed to have evaporated from the earth.

In just a span of an hour, they all vanished without a trace.

After hearing Mr. Chou’s report,

Chen Sheng wore a pondering expression.

He picked up his phone.

Just as expected,

The phone had also lost its signal.

You should know,

He had bought the latest model of this phone, which claimed to connect directly to a satellite signal even in the middle of nowhere.

Whether it’s such exaggerated or not, Chen Sheng didn’t know.

But when he was near the mountains close to Datian Village, he could still maintain basic communication, only that the internet speed would be slower.

Chen Sheng had only encountered the signal loss once before.

That was when he last entered the Sealed Land.

Could it be…

Unknowingly, had they entered a place similar to the Sealed Land?

Chen Sheng’s eyebrows furrowed together.

Who exactly is the Heavenly Person, or what kind of ability does he possess?

Up until now, Chen Sheng was still unclear.

He had asked Li Wuji about this before.

But Li Wuji was extremely wary of this topic.

He behaved as if he dared not speak recklessly.

Only when he had made a breakthrough in the Profound and True Martial Arts had Chen Sheng heard Xuanwu refer to the Heavenly Person as a “thief.”

As for what exactly did the Heavenly Person steal,

Xuanwu didn’t reveal it.

However,

Now that things have come to this, worrying would be of no use.

They can only continue forward and uncover the cause of this oddity.

With this thought,

“Everyone, be alert.”

“Let’s move.”

Chen Shang turned his head towards Chou and Mao and said solemnly.

The next second, his pupil suddenly contracted. Out of nowhere, there was nobody behind him.

Real world.

Dense forest.

“Woo–”

Sobbing sounds.

Wailing sounds.

Or perhaps it’s the weeping sound.

Overlapping each other.

An eerie and frightening scene unfolded in the dense forest.

The bark was peeling layer by layer.

The tall and sturdy trees around them revealed the living, wriggling flesh below the bark.

They bent their bodies.

The dark branches, like tentacles, were constantly twining around the unconscious followers of the Holy Sect, and filling them into their own flesh.

Whenever a live body came close to the trunk,

The flesh beneath the bark would rejoice, sprouting tiny buds of flesh that burrowed into the devotee’s body.

As more and more flesh buds penetrated into the body,

These devotees would emit mournful cries, as if undergoing terrifying torment.

At the same time, their bodies shriveled gradually under the consuming of the flesh buds. With the sound of thumping echoing continuously,

One after another, the bodies, now reduced to dried-up mummies, crashed to the ground, fragmented.

In no time,

There were only three bodies left on the ground.

Messrs. Chou and Mao’s bodies were tightly entangled by a large number of dark branches.

Even though they instinctively tried to struggle,

But with the constant grating noise that made one’s teeth sore,

Thorns continuously sprouted from the tree branches, penetrating their bodies.

Their faces twisted in agony, their features contorting together. The color drained from them at a speed visible to the naked eye.

However ,

They were only being attacked by a small portion of the branches.

Chen Sheng stood with his eyes firmly shut, rooted to the ground.

His brows furrowed, the lids of his eyes trembling slightly.

It seemed as though he could wake up at any moment.

The majority of the surrounding dark branches surged towards Chen Sheng.

For these trees,

A body with immense strength was a superior source of nourishment.

And for his body alone,

The energy was more abundant than the sum of all the others present.

It was a heavenly gift.

However ,

A heavenly gift was only worthy if it could be consumed.

This was a very serious problem.

Even though Chen Sheng’s body had a strong pull on the surrounding trees, causing even the black branches afar to extend their reach, when they wrapped around Chen Sheng.

They found they couldn’t move him at all.

He stood as firm as a boulder, a connection with the earth unshakeable.

The branches weren’t willing to give up.

They mimicked the same method they used against Chou and Mao.

Small thorns sprouted from the branches as they tried to pierce Chen Sheng.

This action alone

Caused Chen Sheng to instinctively resist.

His body shivered slightly.

Crack—

The branches wrapped around him, as if hit with an irresistible force, instantly broke off.

Not just that,

Accompanied by the sound of electricity,

Brilliant white thunderbolts erupted from Chen Sheng’s body.

The branches that had not yet fallen off Chen Sheng’s body instantly broke apart and turned to char under the extreme heat.

Following that,

The thunderbolts leaped out of his body, climbing up the surrounding branches, attempting to attack the main body of the strange tree.

These odd trees appeared to feel pain as well.

They released a sharp, piercing shriek, instantly severing their limbs.

After this attempt,

The strange trees seemed to realize

Chewing Chen Sheng was like chewing on a tough bone.

But the temptation of a strong body was irresistible.

In their senses, Chen Sheng’s body was constantly releasing a strange fragrance that stimulated their appetite. Therefore,

The strange trees took action again.

More branches continuously extended out.

They intermingled, intertwining to form giant tentacles as solid and enormous as limbs.

Following that,

Boom, boom, boom—

Sounds of broken air rang out one after another.

It was as if heavy objects were continuously colliding with the air, producing muffled sounds.

The gigantic tentacles made of branches wriggled as they wrapped around Chen Sheng’s body.

Thunderbolts emerged again, constantly resisting.

But this time,

The branches were never-ending.

If one part was destroyed, new branches would grow in its place.

The branches crept closer and closer.

Anyone could see that they seemed to be on the cusp of entangling Chen Sheng’s body once again.

Suddenly.

Whoosh!

A muscular arm swiftly cut through the air.

Squelch!

With no resistance whatsoever, half of the arm sunk straight into the tentacle.

Boom, boom, boom—

It was as if countless thunderbolts were rolling inside Chen Sheng’s body.

Chen Sheng’s eyelashes trembled slightly.

He opened his eyes.

Inside, the thunder churned. Dense thunderbolts danced on his body, circling around him,

As if Thor himself had descended.

Compared to the automatic counter-attacks before, this was on a completely different level.

“Damn it.”

“What a disgusting thing.”

Chen Sheng’s brows furrowed slightly.

No matter how fiercely the giant tentacle in front of him struggled, it couldn’t escape his grip.

In the next second,

Under Chen Sheng’s control,

All the power of thunder within his body was released,

Instantly flooding into the body of the tentacle.

An extremely piercing scream abruptly cut through the silence of the dense forest.

In just a flicker of an eye,

The tentacle attempting to attack Chen Sheng was entirely turned to charcoal, crashing to the ground.

Chen Sheng’s pupils flitted, taking in his surroundings.

He saw that the people he brought, other than Chou and Mao, were almost all swallowed by the flesh of the strange trees. Even though these people were destined to die,

At the very least,

They had to wait until his plan was completed.

And so,

The thunderbolts emerged once again,

Cloaking Chen Sheng in an armor.

In the next second,

Whoosh—

His body, like lightning, caused the air to distort.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Countless booming sounds erupted at the same time.

The surrounding high-pitched shrieks came to an abrupt stop.

Just a single breath later,

When Chen Sheng appeared once again,

The strange trees spanning several hundred meters around were all

Severed at the waist..
