If you were asked to identify an item, would you choose to extract magical powers?

Seeing that everyone had put down their weapons, Shen Bai also put Han Yue aside.

The middle-aged general immediately turned around, but did not launch an attack. Instead, he looked Shen Bai up and down with a hesitant gaze.

A moment later, the middle-aged general finally understood the reason.

“You possess the aura of the Desolate Forbidden Land, which I failed to detect earlier due to its concealment by this power of destiny. However, you are not from the Desolate Forbidden Land. Who exactly are you?”

Shen Bai shook his head and said, "I am from the outside world."

Outsiders?

The middle-aged general's eyes widened: "Impossible, there's absolutely no way someone from the outside could have gotten here."

Shen Bai thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps it's related to the power of my destiny."

If what the middle-aged general said is true, and it's impossible for outsiders to enter this so-called forbidden land of destruction, then his ability to enter must be entirely due to the power of his luck.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged general revealed a look of sudden realization: "If it's about relying on the power of luck, then that's a possibility."

"But once you're in, it might be hard for you to get out."

Upon hearing this, Shen Bai frowned: "Could you tell me about the Forbidden Land of Destruction?"

A battle broke out as soon as they entered, and there wasn't much communication afterward, so Shen Bai is now very curious about what this so-called Forbidden Land of Destruction is.

Although the middle-aged general said he couldn't get out of here, he now possessed the power of destiny, and everything would turn out for the better.

Once we understand the situation, we may be able to find the right approach.

The middle-aged general slowly said, "This is one of the ten taboos, the Forbidden Land of Destruction."

"It is also the last barrier to defend the entire world. You have the aura of the desolate forbidden land on you, so you should know about the so-called world."

Shen Bai nodded, then, as if remembering something else, asked, "Wasn't the barrier against celestial bodies supposed to be the Ice and Snow Forbidden Land? Why has it become this Destruction Forbidden Land of you?"

He had been to the Frozen Forbidden Land before and knew the purpose of the Frozen Forbidden Land controlled by the Ice and Snow Emperor.

That is a barrier to defend against heaven and earth, capable of slowing down the speed of heaven and earth's invasion.

It is precisely because of the existence of the forbidden land of ice and snow that heaven and earth collude with the forbidden land of death, causing the forbidden land of death to destroy the world again and again.

But now this middle-aged general says that their Destruction Forbidden Land is the last line of defense protecting heaven and earth, which makes Shen Bai feel somewhat conflicted.

A complex look appeared in the middle-aged general's eyes: "I didn't expect you to have been to the Ice and Snow Forbidden Land. The Ice and Snow Forbidden Land you mentioned is also one of the Ten Forbidden Lands. They are a barrier to defend against heaven and earth, but they are the outermost barrier."

"If the Ice and Snow Forbidden Land is completely shattered, then this place will become a true battlefield!"

At this point, the middle-aged general pointed around and said.

"Everything here is upside down, and because it is upside down, all the rules here are broken."

"Whenever outsiders come here, all their abilities will be suppressed to the limit, even those who have reached the pinnacle of their cultivation."

“There are no fancy tricks here, only close combat. You should have experienced that just now.”

Shen Bai nodded without speaking, but a ripple of emotion stirred within him.

He did experience that just now.

Even experts at the peak of cultivation might encounter problems if they come here and meet these soldiers.

After all, this is real hand-to-hand combat, and these soldiers and middle-aged officers are truly trained specifically for this purpose.

Its melee combat ability is extremely strong, and coupled with its teamwork, it is enough to leave even experts at the peak of their cultivation helpless.

Seeing that Shen Bai did not answer, the middle-aged general continued, "If the people from the Death Forbidden Land break through all the barriers and come here, they will also be affected by the Destruction Forbidden Land, and at that time, it will be the people from the Destruction Forbidden Land who will take action."

“We have practiced the rules of the Forbidden Zone of Destruction over and over again. You could say that we are waiting for people from the Forbidden Zone of Death to arrive every day, and then we will surround and kill them here.”

Shen Bai understood and finally realized what the middle-aged general meant by the last barrier.

By destroying the forbidden zone, they can infinitely reduce the combat power of the Death Forbidden Zone. In addition, they have trained here for a very long time, so they can deal with unsuspecting enemies with a purpose, and may even annihilate all invading enemies.

Shen Bai has now figured out everything thoroughly, but he still doesn't have a way to get out.

However, Shen Bai felt that he should give it a try.

Thinking of this, Shen Bai asked.

"Can I walk around here?"

There was absolutely no way to find a way out by just standing here, so he thought he would walk around and see if he could find one.

The middle-aged general pondered for a moment and said, "If you have nothing else to do right now, would you like to come with me to see our clan chief?"

Every forbidden land in the ice and snow has a clan leader, and that clan leader is the Ice and Snow Emperor.

This place is also one of the ten forbidden areas, so naturally there is a clan leader here as well.

Upon hearing this, Shen Bai nodded and said, "Of course."

He was worried about how to get out when the middle-aged general offered to take him to the clan chief.

The clan leader is the one in power within the Forbidden Land of Destruction.

Shen Bai felt that there might be a chance to get out of the Destroyed Forbidden Land.

The middle-aged general stopped speaking, then raised his hand, intending to lead Shen Bai away from the street.

Shen Bai didn't waste any time and followed the middle-aged general toward the largest building in the ancient city.

……

The building exudes an ancient charm; just standing at the entrance, one can feel a sense of antiquity and desolation.

After Shen Bai glanced at the door, the middle-aged general stepped forward and exchanged a few words with the soldiers guarding the door.

He then led Shen Bai into the ancient building.

The interior was extremely spacious, and after many twists and turns, Shen Bai arrived at the largest house in the building.

At that moment, a middle-aged woman dressed in fine clothes was standing in front of the house, holding a watering can, watering a potted plant.

Seemingly sensing the footsteps, the middle-aged woman turned around.

When she saw Shen Bai, the showerhead in her hand fell to the ground, and her eyes showed a hint of disbelief.

"You are the savior of the world!"

This was the second time Shen Bai had heard this sentence.

I heard the same thing from the Ice and Snow Emperor.

Shen Bai did not answer the middle-aged woman's question, which was taken as tacit agreement.

The middle-aged woman immediately came to her senses and then waved to the middle-aged general beside her.

Then, the middle-aged general quietly left.

At this moment, the middle-aged woman quickly stepped forward, looked Shen Bai up and down, and her expression became increasingly complicated.

"If even the savior can get to this place, it seems that the world is in an extremely serious crisis."

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman raised her hand in response and said...

"Please invite the savior into the house to speak."

Shen Bai nodded, knowing that this courtyard was not the place to talk.

The matter to be discussed next was likely to be extremely important, so he followed the middle-aged woman forward.

Not long after, Shen Bai entered the room and looked around. He found beads scattered throughout the room. The beads were only about the size of a thumb, but they emitted a soft, faint glow.

At this moment, the middle-aged woman also walked in from outside. Seeing the doubt in Shen Bai's eyes, she explained.

"These beads are what stabilize the destroyed forbidden zone."

The middle-aged woman walked to one of the chairs and sat down. She then pointed to the seat opposite her and said, "Savior, please sit down. Some things are complicated, but I will explain them to you one by one."

Shen Bai nodded and sat down opposite the middle-aged woman.

At this moment, the middle-aged woman picked up the teapot from the side and poured Shen Bai a cup of tea.

After Shen Bai drank it, the middle-aged woman spoke.

"These beads are formed by gathering the power of the ten forbidden lands. It is precisely because of the power of the ten forbidden lands that this destroyed forbidden land can become a means to suppress the enemy and the last barrier."

Shen Bai looked enlightened when he heard this.

"I see."

He didn't explore the underlying principles, nor was there any need to.

Now that we know what the beads are all about, let's get down to business.

Thinking of this, Shen Bai said.

How do I get out of here?

He accidentally entered this place because of the power of fate.

We need to hurry up and get out of here first.

After all, although the situation at the border has eased somewhat after the luck was absorbed, no one can guarantee what will happen next.

The middle-aged woman fell into deep thought, then shook her head and said, "We can't get out."

After these words were spoken, the room fell silent.

Shen Bai frowned and said, "Tell me in detail why I can't get out?"

Previously, when they were in the Forbidden Ice and Snow Land, Bingfeng had told him that once you entered the Forbidden Ice and Snow Land, it was impossible to come out of it.

Now the middle-aged woman says that once you enter the Forbidden Land of Destruction, you cannot leave.

Shen Bai felt that there was still room for negotiation.

Thinking of this, Shen Bai recounted everything about the Forbidden Ice and Snow Land, meaning that if there was even the slightest chance to leave, he should have the middle-aged woman explain it directly so that he could escape from there.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman shook her head and said, "The Ice and Snow Forbidden Land can be left, but due to special reasons, it is impossible to leave. As for the Destruction Forbidden Land, it is truly impossible to leave, because it is inherently a dead land."

“Savior, you should also know that this is the last barrier. That is why we can only let those who come in stay here, and not let them leave.”

Upon hearing this, Shen Bai understood and a look of seriousness appeared in his eyes.

If what this middle-aged woman said is true, it seems there really is no way to get out of here.

This is a death zone. The purpose of this forbidden zone is to ensure that anyone who enters it will be permanently and completely buried here.

If that's the case, even with the power of good fortune, one might not be able to escape this place.

Thinking of this, Shen Bai stood up.

Upon seeing this, the middle-aged woman asked, "Savior of the world, where are you going?"

Shen Bai said, "I can't stay here any longer. Even if there's no chance of getting out, I want to try and explore different parts of the city to see if there's any opportunity."

No matter how certain the middle-aged woman in front of him was, Shen Bai was determined to give it a try.

Some things are not necessarily true just because others say them.

Only after trying it out will we know the specifics of the situation.

Upon hearing this, the middle-aged woman nodded and said, "In that case, I will accompany the savior on this journey."

"By the way, I was so excited to see you that I didn't introduce myself. My name is Zhao Ruyue, and I am the clan chief here."

Shen Bai thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, let's go for a walk together."

He walked alone, unaware of the situation, and couldn't find anything.

However, with the middle-aged woman Zhao Ruyue accompanying him, Shen Bai might be able to find some clues.

The two said nothing more and then stepped out the door.

Along the way, Shen Bai finally witnessed various scenes of the destroyed forbidden land.

When he first arrived here, the people of the destroyed forbidden land screamed repeatedly.

But now that Zhao Ruyue is leading the way, these people don't think Shen Bai is that scary.

They even watched cautiously from various parts of the street, as if trying to figure out what was going on with Shen Bai.

Shen Bai asked, "Since it's a forbidden area of ​​destruction, why are there these people here?"

He didn't sense any cultivator's aura from these people; they seemed like ordinary people.

Zhao Ruyue sighed and said, "The people you see are actually cultivators. They have become ordinary people because they contributed all their power to build this Destruction Forbidden Land."

“Apart from having a long lifespan, they are no different from ordinary people.”

Shen Bai fell silent.

He never expected this kind of story to happen.

After walking for a while, Shen Bai stopped in front of a street and focused his gaze ahead.

Ahead lay a quiet street, a street so deserted that, unlike any other, it was completely deserted.

However, Shen Bai noticed something unusual.

At the end of the street, green plants were climbing all over it.

Green plants continued to grow, completely enveloping the surrounding area.

From the outside, it looks like the only oasis in the desert.

Shen Bai frowned and asked, "Where is this place?"

He noticed the abnormality at a glance.

When Shen Bai asked this question, the middle-aged woman's expression changed slightly, and then she slowly replied.

"This is a grave..."

"grave?"

Shen Bai walked towards the alley: "What kind of tomb is this?"

A bitter look appeared in the middle-aged woman's eyes as she said, "These are the graves left behind by those who built the Destruction Forbidden Land. They were all heroes of the Destruction Forbidden Land."

"And they rest here forever."

The two walked along the street lined with green branches.

Ahead, a small door appeared.

The door was tightly shut, yet a faint aura of death permeated the air. (End of Chapter)
