Chapter 311 The Forbidden Land of the Giant Stones, One of the Ten Great Sites
The million-strong army, like a heavy dark cloud, swept across the sky, and the birds in the sky, swept by its residual power, were instantly turned into a terrifying mass of blood.

At this moment, under the leadership of hundreds of feudal lords, Shen Bai used his Divine Speed ​​Technique at top speed, turning into afterimages, but it was all in vain.

The distance between the two sides is gradually closing.

Shen Bai looked back, then swept across the cold moon, unleashing streaks of blood-red sword energy.

The sword energy of the Soul Annihilation Sword was originally unmatched and had few rivals. Even if a master at the Immortal Realm came, he would probably only be able to die with regret under the power of the sword energy.

However, when Shen Bai's blood-red sword energy swept across, the killing intent of these millions of soldiers trembled, and before the blood-red sword energy could even get close, it completely turned them into ashes.

The middle-aged woman followed at the front, and as she saw the distance between them gradually closing, her eyes shone with excitement.

"Shen Bai, you can't escape. Surrender obediently and we can give you a quick death. Otherwise, once we catch you, we will tear you apart and make you experience the most painful tribulation in the world."

As a king of equal rank, Shen Bai's title was understood by every feudal lord.

This demonstrates Emperor Shengwu's extreme regard for Shen Bai.

The reason why the feudal lords dared not step forward before Emperor Shengwu died was because they were extremely afraid of him.

This emperor, who rode on horseback, possessed the power to dominate the entire Great Zhou Kingdom.

Although the Holy Martial Emperor is no longer here, Shen Bai has received such high praise from him.

Because of this assessment, they all knew that if Shen Bai were allowed to develop further, a second figure like the Holy Martial Emperor might emerge.

By then, if Shen Bai were to settle accounts with them one by one, none of them would be able to escape.

Today, being able to kill Shen Bai is even more exciting than conquering cities and defeating other lords of the same level.

Shen Bai felt immense pressure coming from behind him, and after hearing what the middle-aged woman said, a cold smile appeared on his lips.

"I've always been the one who leaves others with a complete corpse, never the other way around. You seem to have it backwards."

Despite saying that, he didn't slow down at all when he ran away. On the contrary, he used all his energy to speed up his movements.

Upon hearing Shen Bai's words, the middle-aged woman sneered, "You're so stubborn. Once we catch you, I'll cut your mouth off and keep it separately so you can see whether your mouth is tougher or our weapons are tougher."

As the two talked, hundreds of feudal lords, leading an army of a million, drew ever closer to Shen Bai.

The distance between the two sides is less than one kilometer.

This distance might seem extremely far to ordinary people, but for cultivators, this kilometer is merely a matter of moments.

Once they reach this range, it will be enough for this million-strong army to unleash its most terrifying attack.

Hundreds of feudal lords raised their right hands, and then a terrifying military force gathered in their palms.

Although it appears extremely small, the immense energy hidden within it is enough to kill a master at the Immortal Realm if even a tiny bit of it were to leak out.

"Attack!"

As the middle-aged woman spoke, hundreds of beams of light converged in the hands of the feudal lords and then struck the woman's back.

The blow to her back did not harm the middle-aged woman; instead, it gradually increased her strength.

This is the combined military power of a million soldiers. Even if high-ranking officials of the Great Zhou Kingdom, such as the Marquis of Tongtian or Eunuch Chen, who had reached the pinnacle of their cultivation, encountered it, they would probably only have one option: to flee.

If one tries to fight against it, one will perish.

Shen Bai felt immense pressure coming from behind him. When he turned around, he saw the beam of light shooting out from the middle-aged woman's hand.

At that moment, the sky seemed to lose its color and become incredibly dark.

Everything around was black and white, except for this beam of light, which was the only color.

The beam of light moved extremely fast, arriving in front of Shen Bai in the blink of an eye.

This beam of light, powerful enough to obliterate even those at the Immortal Realm and capable of suppressing those at the Peak Realm, had already locked onto Shen Bai's aura.

No matter how hard he tries to run, he can't escape it.

"Come!"

Shen Bai shouted and thrust out the Cold Moon sword in his hand.

Countless supernatural powers converged on this sword.

At the same time, the crack in the Chaos Storage Technique opened, and the chaotic Yin and Yang energies surged out.

The sky was also filled with layers of darkness because Shen Bai had used Shadow Thousand Kill.

At this moment, Shen Bai unleashed his full power to the extreme.

The sword energy clashed head-on with the beam of light.

"boom!"

A tremendous roar resounded, and a fierce wind swept up sand and dust, leveling everything in sight.

Below should have been a giant mountain, but under the terrifying residual force, the mountain began to melt away rapidly from the halfway point, turning into nothingness in an instant.

Shen Bai felt a sharp pain and turned around to find that half of his body was broken.

Seeing this, the middle-aged woman roared, "Your days are numbered, and you will surely die today. Boy, you have been arrogant in the Great Zhou for so long, you should have been arrogant enough. Now go in peace."

The forces of the army reunited.

The middle-aged woman was confident that she only needed to make one more move to kill Shen Bai completely.

Shen Bai activated the Poison Avoidance and Spirit Recovery Technique, triggering the regeneration attribute.

Subsequently, his previously damaged body was restored to its original state.

However, he had consumed more than half of his vital energy.

Even with his powerful regenerative abilities, Shen Bai was still spending far too much time and effort repairing his body at this moment.

And it's spent instantly.

So he needs some time to fully recover.

But this is a life-or-death battle, and the middle-aged woman will absolutely not give Shen Bai any time to maneuver.

The moment she raised her palm, she slapped it down on Shen Bai's head.

This time, the beam of light formed by the combined power of the military formation, just like before, hurtled towards Shen Bai at incredible speed.

Shen Bai felt a chill run down his spine. He knew that if he couldn't withstand this attack, death would be the only thing waiting for him.

He had never felt death so close, but it seemed that he had no choice but to tough it out.

Thinking of this, Shen Bai thrust out the Cold Moon sword in his hand once more.

This time, he mobilized most of the remaining Qi in his body, and with the support of various supernatural powers, he once again bombarded the most terrifying beam of light.

"boom!"

Another roaring sound followed.

The remaining half of the mountain below was completely blasted into ashes by the residual force.

Shen Bai's figure flew backward like a kite with a broken string, leaving a trail of blood in the sky.

The Qi within the body circulates once again.

This time, all the Qi was completely drained, and the damaged body was restored to its original state.

Shen Bai also used the enormous recoil force to quickly create a great distance between himself and the enemy.

Using his "Divine Speed ​​Across Thousands of Miles" ability once again, Shen Bai fled while simultaneously repairing his physical body with his powerful regenerative abilities.

Shen Bai's internal energy was also recovering at an astonishing rate.

The middle-aged woman was completely stunned: "How can this kid have so many abilities?"

Not only him, but everyone else had the same idea.

Even if someone at the pinnacle level came, they would probably be completely annihilated by these two attacks.

But Shen Bai managed to withstand it thanks to his terrifying regenerative abilities.

However, seeing Shen Bai's disheveled appearance, they knew that Shen Bai could no longer bear it.

Although the distance has increased now, it's not a big problem.

It's only a matter of time before Shen Bai is killed.

"Everyone!"

The middle-aged woman waved her sleeves again and shouted, "Keep chasing him! Today it's either him or us who die. If he escapes, we will all be wiped out in due time."

Many of the feudal lords knew in their hearts that the middle-aged woman was right.

If they let Shen Bai escape, they will only face certain death.

Thinking of this, the group said no more and led their generals and soldiers to continue their pursuit of Shen Bai.

In the sky, a pitch-black figure blotted out the sun, and everyone below who witnessed it was dumbfounded.

……

Under the azure sky, Shen Bai felt immense pressure from behind, but his mind raced with calculations.

He had just recovered a lot of his Qi, but the residual power of the military formation still lingered in his body, as if it were hindering his recovery and slowing down his recovery speed considerably.

"How to do?"

At this moment, Shen Bai was also pondering a way out.

After a moment's thought, he immediately had an answer.

forbidden.

There is only one way out now: find the forbidden area and escape to its depths, just like when we were hiding from Yunlan's pursuit. Perhaps there is still a glimmer of hope there.

Thinking of this, Shen Bai did not hesitate to communicate with Amber in his mind.

"Amber, tell me the location of the forbidden area quickly."

Both Hongzhuang and Hupo are strange beasts, but Hupo has an unimaginable talent for the strange and forbidden places.

After all, Amber's predecessor was a white cat.

At this moment, both Amber and Red Makeup were worried for Shen Bai.

They didn't dare to make a sound or speak, for fear that if they did, they would affect Shen Bai's operation, distract him, and cause him to lose his life.

Shen Bai took a moment to ask a question, and Amber immediately gave an answer.

"Master, the area to the east, hurry east, there are signs of a forbidden area there."

Amber hadn't sensed it before because it wasn't within her area, so she couldn't possibly sense the forbidden zone's aura.

Furthermore, if the forbidden area were not likely to appear, she would not be able to sense it.

However, after Shen Bai fled for a while, Amber, under Shen Bai's command, immediately sensed something was wrong.

East!

Without hesitation, Shen Bai slightly changed direction and quickly headed east.

……

The terrifying pressure behind him still remained, but Shen Bai's speed was equally impressive.

The distance to the east that Amber mentioned was not far; in just a short while, distorted spaces appeared ahead.

Where things are twisted, that is where the forbidden zone lies.

The middle-aged woman had entered the attack range and was preparing to gather the power of her military formation.

Shen Bai turned around, gave them a cold glance, moved his lips, and then disappeared into the space in front of him. After a moment of distortion, he vanished completely.

The middle-aged woman, who was gathering the power of the military formation, was slightly taken aback upon seeing this scene.

She understood Shen Bai's lip movements; there was only one sentence.

There's plenty of time; we'll settle the score later.

That one sentence sent chills down the middle-aged woman's spine.

Not only him, but all the other feudal lords felt the same way.

Being able to hold out for so long under the pursuit of a million-strong army is enough for Shen Bai to make history.

If Shen Bai were to escape now, he would be able to settle scores with them.

No one could resist it.

Ahead, space still remained. The people present were all top-tier lords in the world, and naturally they had insight. They could tell at a glance that what was in front of them was the entrance to the forbidden area.

The forbidden area was terrifying, but it seemed that this was the only path they had to take.

If Shen Bai doesn't die, then they will be the ones who die.

The middle-aged woman said with a gloomy face, "Everyone, we swore an oath before the Blood Oath Pearl that we would never let Shen Bai leave, even if it's a forbidden area."

"We can overcome any obstacle, whether it be mountains or seas, and we can completely destroy this forbidden land before us."

"After destroying them, kill Shen Bai here."

A middle-aged woman started the discussion, and everyone nodded in agreement.

Then, led by the middle-aged woman, the million-strong army marched forward.

The million soldiers, like crows, vanished in an instant.

……

After entering the forbidden area, Shen Bai felt that the scenery in front of him became extremely blurry.

After he recovered, the surrounding scenery gradually became clear again.

Then, Shen Bai found himself standing in a place full of scattered rocks.

There were no trees, no flowers, no river in sight, only huge rocks standing everywhere, presenting a desolate and broken feeling.

Layers of dark clouds swirled in the sky, creating an incredibly heavy and imposing effect when combined with the jumbled rocks below.

Shen Bai did not linger.

He didn't know what kind of forbidden area he was in, nor did he know the level of this forbidden area, but he had only one thought: to escape from here as soon as possible.

After a brief pause, Shen Bai used his Divine Speed ​​to flee in one direction at lightning speed.

Not long after Shen Bai's figure disappeared, a million soldiers immediately appeared in this distorted space.

Led by hundreds of feudal lords, they fell into the pile of rocks.

The middle-aged woman had barely landed on the rocks when she looked around at the scenery, and her face immediately turned extremely ugly.

Not only him, but all the other feudal lords were the same.

For reasons unknown, the soldiers and generals took in the expressions of their respective lords, and a sense of unease rose in their hearts.

The fact that these feudal lords could produce such expressions proves that this forbidden area is definitely not a simple forbidden area.

The middle-aged woman gritted her teeth and said, "Gentlemen, we're in big trouble. This is the Giant Stone Forbidden Zone, one of the Ten Forbidden Zones. We may have a hard time getting out of here."

Those who reach their level naturally have an extremely thorough understanding of the forbidden areas.

After just a quick glance and sensing the aura, he knew exactly what this forbidden area was.

The Forbidden Land of Giant Stones, one of the Ten Forbidden Lands, is a place almost no one sets foot in.

Although not as famous as the desolate forbidden land, it also hides all sorts of dangers.

Legend has it that a master of the Immortal Realm once accidentally stepped into the forbidden area of ​​the giant rocks.

He passed away not long after emerging from the forbidden area of ​​the giant rocks.

His body was completely petrified, inside and out.

Even the world's top doctors cannot cure it.

As for what happened in the forbidden area, even experts at the Immortal Realm couldn't say, because only a few breaths passed between when he emerged from the giant rock forbidden area and when he petrified to death.

So what exactly is hidden in the forbidden area of ​​the giant rocks, none of them know.

Now, Shen Bai has unexpectedly entered this place, and they have followed him in. It is very likely that their fate is grim.

One of the lords stepped forward and said through gritted teeth, "We've already chased him this far. We all swore an oath inside the Blood Eater Pearl. Even if we enter this forbidden area of ​​giant rocks, we will kill Shen Bai first."

"Stop talking nonsense. If you keep talking, Shen Bai will disappear without a trace, and then you'll truly lose everything."

Upon hearing this, all the feudal lords realized that what this lord said was true.

They couldn't possibly end up with nothing from both sides and lose their lives instead.

The first thing to do is to kill Shen Bai.

After killing them, we'll discuss how to escape the forbidden area of ​​the giant rocks.

Thinking of this, the middle-aged woman didn't waste any more words and waved her hand to chase after the direction Shen Bai had fled.

……

At this moment, Shen Bai was in front, flying continuously.

A period of time has passed since he fled, but at his incredible speed, it was an extremely long distance.

However, what puzzled Shen Bai was that he did not see any living people or even a single animal during his flight.

All that remains here are the boulders and the gloomy sky.

During the flight, Shen Bai sensed something unusual.

He slowed down slightly, then raised his hands.

At this moment, his hands were covered with a layer of ash that was difficult to see with the naked eye.

Shen Bai gently twirled his fingers, and then the layer of ash fell to the ground from the sky.

After a brief examination, Shen Bai knew what it was.

"This dust was rubbed off my skin, but I've reached a level where I'm completely free of dirt. Does that mean my skin naturally carries this dust?"

Having reached Shen Bai's current level, let alone being covered in dust, even if he doesn't bathe for a long time, his body won't have the slightest dirt on him.

But at this moment, it produced dust that looked like mud.

Shen Bai made a decision immediately.

During the flight, he subconsciously focused his mind and looked inward, and then a look of astonishment appeared on his face.

"My body is gradually turning to stone, and although it's not happening fast, I can't control it."

Shen Bai possessed a poison-avoiding and spirit-restoring technique, but he still couldn't stop his body from petrifying.

Behind him, he heard the sound of wind. Shen Bai turned around and saw the middle-aged woman leading an army of a million men, gradually approaching him.

He could sense the murderous intent emanating from this group of people, and he could also see that they were in the same predicament as him.

Especially those soldiers with low strength, even with the combined power of a million-strong army, they still petrify very quickly.

Several soldiers' hands and feet had become extremely stiff, but under the leadership of the feudal lords, they still gritted their teeth and persevered.

Shen Bai turned around and said, "Why bother killing anymore? Saving our lives is the most important thing. Why don't we join forces and escape this terrifying forbidden area?"

He just said it casually, not expecting the middle-aged woman and the others to agree.

As expected, the middle-aged woman sneered.

“You little brat, this is no ordinary forbidden area. This is the Giant Stone Forbidden Area, one of the Ten Great Forbidden Areas. No one can stop the petrification of this forbidden area.”

"You want to escape first? That's impossible. You'll have to die in our hands first, and then we'll figure out how to escape ourselves."

Clearly, they were determined to kill Shen Bai no matter what.

Helpless, Shen Bai continued to flee forward.

At this point, both sides were slowing down to a speed visible to the naked eye.

As both Shen Bai and the group of pursuers behind him began to petrify at an increasingly rapid pace.

It seems that as time goes by, they will all turn into a pile of stones before long.

Shen Bai suddenly realized that after entering the forbidden area, the situation did not seem to have improved, and in fact, it had become more serious.

Not only are they being chased from behind, but they also have to face this so-called petrification crisis.

He inexplicably broke into one of the ten forbidden areas.

Shen Bai felt somewhat speechless.

But now we can only try to escape while thinking of a solution.

Shen Bai's speed is decreasing, and so are the others.

Meanwhile, during his escape, Shen Bai noticed something unusual.

In the pile of rubble ahead, a tiny protrusion appeared.

An ordinary person would not be able to detect it, but under the protection of Shen Bai's Void-Breaking Golden Eye, he could see clearly even the slightest abnormality.

Thinking of this, Shen Bai quickly headed towards the protrusion.

He didn't know what it was, but since he was on the way, he might as well take a closer look.

If he could find a way to break the deadlock, he could use that opportunity to escape.

The middle-aged woman, leading a million soldiers, frowned as she saw Shen Bai fall to the ground.

They didn't believe Shen Bai would give up so easily. His sudden strange actions must mean he had some kind of conspiracy.

"No matter what schemes or tricks he may have, he can't cause any trouble in the face of such absolute power."

With that thought in mind, the middle-aged woman and the people behind her had already reached a point where they could attack Shen Bai.

At this moment, Shen Bai reached the ground, pushed off with his feet, and made a loud bang.

Centered on Shen Bai, countless rocks turned to dust, and the object in front of him was revealed.

This is a stele, covered with dense text.

Shen Bai didn't have time to take a closer look, because the middle-aged woman had already launched an attack on him with the power of a military formation.

The terrifying beam of light reappeared, and Shen Bai was about to turn around and clash with it.

But at that moment, something unexpected suddenly happened.

As the beam of light approached Shen Bai, it slowed down more and more as it got closer.

Then, the pillar of light formed by the power of the military formation turned into a stone.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, the pillar of light transformed into a stone that fell to the ground and shattered into countless fragments.
