Chapter 112: Palace on the Cliff

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The poisonous fog entered his lungs through his nose and turned into heat that surged into his arm. Only then did Lin Yan feel the tearing pain inside and outside his arm gradually fade. It was covered by layers of heat and recovered.

Clenching his fists, he found that the force of the Noble Realm was even more terrifying than he had imagined.

If the force of the Tough Realm was like putting on a thick layer of armor, his defense would increase greatly.

The Noble Realm turned the force into an armor-piercing arrow with a sharp drill. Its quality and invasiveness far exceeded the force of the Tough Realm, and it could easily penetrate the defense of the Tough Realm force.

If not for the fact that Lin Yan’s strength far exceeded that of an ordinary Tough Realm expert by several times, which was equivalent to stacking multiple layers of armor, he would have lost an arm on the spot.

’’Therefore, with my current strength, I can barely withstand an attack from a Noble Realm cultivator, but I’m not a match for a Noble Realm cultivator. Unless I unleash the Thousand Pound Break at the level of mutual destruction, I can’t pose a fatal threat to a Noble Realm cultivator. Of course, this is only if I hit him…”

Lin Yan waved his arm and completely recovered.

…..

He stood up and looked around.

A dark green fog enveloped the forest. Everything was gray and dead. The sky was covered, and light could only enter weakly, causing the dead trees and rocks to become blurry.

There was a deep silence around him. On the withered tree trunk, only sporadic moss could survive. It was slippery and moist.

The dead wood in the distance gradually disappeared in the green fog, as if it was slowly devoured by an invisible giant.

The entire poisonous fog world was immersed in darkness. It was sinister, and terrifying.

A chill ran down Lin Yan’s spine. Compared to the previous mountain, the area covered by the poisonous fog was like a lake to a pond. It was simply like… a deathly hell in a normal world.

“Blindly exploring is too much of a waste of time. Just like before, the denser the poisonous fog, the more clues I can find.”

Relying on the special effect of Poison Transformation, he could distinguish the subtle difference in the concentration of the poisonous fog just by sniffing.

Along the way, every hundred steps, Lin Yan chose a dead tree or rock and scratched out a white dent as a mark.

As he went deeper into the poisonous fog, all the sounds faded. Only his footsteps and the occasional sound of breaking branches could be heard.

Along the way, he found a few places with extremely dense poisonous fog, but they were all narrow cracks in the ground or mountains. He could not squeeze in at all.

He could only continue searching deeper.

After an unknown distance, the poisonous fog became thicker and thicker. Lin Yan suddenly stopped in his tracks and turned to look between a few withered branches.

“This is…”

He carefully stepped forward. In the empty space between the withered branches, a huge limestone that was about half the height of a person stood in the middle of the wet mud.

The limestone was stained with blood and knife marks everywhere. There were also rotting and smelly internal organs scattered on it.

Lin Yan picked up a dead branch and flipped through the internal organs. There were intestines and livers, as if they belonged to a cow or some creature.

There were some teeth marks, but it only bit them and didn’t eat them.

His gaze darkened. Other than the bloodstains, there were also many sharp scratches on the limestone. Many scattered gravel fell around.

It was similar to the scratches he had seen on the wall of the other poisonous fog mountain.

He turned around.

“These are…”

There was a pool of half-dried transparent mucus in the withered grass behind the limestone. Lin Yan used the dead branch to stir it and pull it out. A few threads of half-transparent green mucus were pulled out. It was very disgusting.

In the mucus, there were also a few green hard things that looked like egg shells, which were pulled up with the mucus.

Lin Yan subconsciously recalled the knife arm he had glimpsed back then.

“Could this be the mucus secreted by that creature?”

After throwing down the withered branch, Lin Yan became even more careful.

Walking through the silent withered forest, he felt like he was walking through the ruins of the dead.

After an unknown period of time, the concentration of the surrounding poisonous fog suddenly became stronger.

Lin Yan was energized. There should be a large gap near such a dense poisonous fog. Perhaps it was the same as the poisonous fog mountain last time and could allow people to enter.

He sped up a little.

Suddenly, a trace of shock flashed across Lin Yan’s eyes. He hurriedly stepped on the ground and made a loud sound, immediately slowing down and stopping.

A bottomless cliff suddenly appeared in front of him. If not for his quick reaction, he would have jumped in just now.

“No, that’s not right. This isn’t a cliff…”

He was clearly descending. The altitude was getting lower and lower, and he was surrounded by towering mountains.

“This is… a crack in the ground!”

Lin Yan’s breathing suddenly tightened. The crack in front of him was clearly an extremely wide and bottomless crack left behind after the ground was forcefully torn apart!

The green fog filled the air. He could not see how far the opposite shore was at all. He looked left and right. The crack in the ground extended into the green fog in the distance. It was blurry, as if it had cut open the boundary of the earth.

Looking down, the crack in the ground was unfathomably dark.

On both sides were steep cliffs that stretched for an unknown length. The rugged cliffs were filled with traces of rock formations being torn apart.

Waves of turbulent airflow floated up, blowing the green fog endlessly from the bottomless abyss. It emitted a whistling sound, as if the ground had opened its mouth and was roaring crazily.

It was bottomless, and it was unknown how deep it spread down.

Lin Yan couldn’t help but recall the scene he had seen in the spiritual illusion. The old monk staggered forward with a stone coffin on his back and walked towards an endless abyss.

“Where exactly does this place lead to?”

Due to the existence of the airflow, the poisonous fog in the abyss was thin and his vision was clear.

Lin Yan looked down carefully. Suddenly, his gaze was attracted by a dark red color hundreds of feet deep on the cliff below.

’’That’s…”

Lin Yan took a closer look. The dark red block was in a triangular shape, leaning against the rock wall.

There seemed to be a rise on it. Because it was very far away, it looked only the size of a thumb. However, it was obvious that it was not a mineral vein or a rock stratum, but an artificial creation.

Looking left and right, the surroundings were still dead silent.

Lin Yan flexed his fingers and jumped lightly into the crack. He dropped about twenty to thirty feet and landed on a protruding rock.

He grabbed with one hand like a claw and hung his body on the rock wall as if he was grabbing tofu.

Then, he let go and let his body fall. Then, he grabbed another rock and hung again.

With his current physical fitness and strength, it was as if he was walking on flat ground below this rock wall.

Just like that, he loosened his grip and jumped onto the protruding rocks from time to time. He fell straight down the rock wall and quickly approached the dark red color.

“This is…”

As he got closer, Lin Yan recognized what it was even more clearly.

“It’s actually… a roof!”

A huge roof covered in dust was embedded in the ancient rock wall!

It was completely paved with blood-red glazed tiles. It was crooked and huge, like a huge umbrella lid. Half of it was embedded in the rock wall, and the interface was covered in grayish-green moss. The other half was tilted outside the rock wall, so from afar, it looked like a triangle.

Lin Yan could not hide the shock in his heart. He loosened his grip and his body gently landed. He reached out to grab the rock wall and pulled his body, causing his feet to land firmly on the roof.

Lin Yan relaxed his wrist and gently stepped on it. With a crisp cracking sound, the palm-sized tile immediately shattered into finger-sized fragments. After countless years, the roof tiles had long become extremely fragile. If he stepped on it, a hole would probably be created.

He tightened his wrist, causing his body to lean against his arm.

It looked small from above, but standing on the roof and looking around, it felt like standing on a wide square paved with red bricks. The area was very huge.

It was a slightly concave surface. It was completely made of glazed tiles, and the corners of the four sides were hanging in the air. The golden paint had already faded.

On the eaves, there were two-person-tall and incomplete stone statues of Buddhas standing. They were solemn and relaxed.

The roof beam was carved with flying ancient patterns. Above the beam, there were two rows of vertically intertwined strange stone Buddha statues that were half the height of a person. More than half of them were broken and shattered. The craftsmanship was exquisite.

The style of these Buddha statues was different from today’s. The most obvious thing was that the eyes of these Buddha statues were extremely huge. They occupied a quarter of the entire Buddha statue face. Moreover, the eyeballs in the middle were bulging as if they were staring ahead. They looked strange and had a special solemn feeling.

“With such a huge roof, could there be a palace below?”

Lin Yan grabbed with his arm and moved himself sideways. He went dozens of meters away and crossed the edge of the roof.

He looked down.

“As expected, half of the roof is crooked out of the rock wall, and most of the palace below is embedded in the rock wall!”
