The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 866: Chapter 866: Absolute Death Valley?

The valley was endless.

The White Jade Platform loomed like a city.

Within the ravines, Sword Qi soared to the skies.

This one sword, cleft heaven and earth!

What kind of person could wield such a ferocious sword!

An Immortal?

Suddenly, Carson Flores said, ”It’s said that the Five Elements Immortal Palace is connected to one’s fate with immortality, so the door of the Five Elements Immortal Palace shouldn’t lead to a random place, but to a fixed one...”

Samantha Tate’s eyes widened in shock, ”Are you saying that the fate with immortality of the Five Elements Immortal Palace is actually here?”

Carson Flores nodded, ”I think it’s possible, at least it was at the very beginning, otherwise, why would there be a saying about a fate with immortality.”

Samantha Tate stared at the huge bronze columns on the White Jade Platform ahead and speculated, ”If your theory holds water, then could this towering White Jade Platform, with its grand formation, be the key to ascension into immortality?”

Carson Flores’s eyes shone as he continued theorizing, ”If the array on this White Jade Platform truly is the key to becoming immortal, then is it possible to conjecture that over the last ten thousand years, ascension to immortality has become but a legend, because this White Jade Platform was destroyed by someone?”

The two exchanged stunned glances.

Although they had no confirmation, they might have stumbled upon a truth that could shock the world.

”Shall we take a look?”

”Yes!”

Who could resist such curiosity upon encountering such a matter?

After observing for a long while and confirming that there were no dangerous demonic beasts nearby, they quietly made their way down the cliff face towards the valley, then approached the White Jade Platform close to the ground.

The White Jade Platform was not occupied by demonic beasts, nor was it protected by any formation traps. The one sword had thoroughly split the White Jade Platform in two and destroyed the countless formation patterns on it, reducing it to a pile of rubble.

Carson Flores took out a Soulmirror Stone and recorded everything here, for it all looked too shocking.

The two of them made a round, and while everything here seemed quite magical, with the knowledge of both Carson Flores and Samantha Tate, they couldn’t even begin to explain, much less understand its wonders.

”Well, it seems this place is completely ruined now; no matter how glorious it was in the past, now it’s just a pile of ruins...”

Before Carson Flores could finish speaking, he abruptly fell silent and swiftly turned his head.

A hundred meters away, a middle-aged man with disheveled hair was staring intently at Carson Flores and Samantha Tate.

It was impossible to guess the man’s age, but his clothes were tattered, and there was a vacant look in his eyes that seemed somewhat dazed and devoid of spirit.

How come there was no sound at all?

The visibility was wide here, and they hadn’t seen anyone after making a round in the area; where had he suddenly appeared from?

From the abyss below?

The hair on Carson Flores’s back stood on end, his scalp tingled instantly, and a chill spread throughout his body.

Was this guy human or a ghost?

Samantha Tate subconsciously grabbed Carson Flores’s arm, her eyes wide with terror, like a frightened deer.

Gathering his courage, Carson Flores saluted with his hands, ”Senior? We have come here by mistake. May we know what this place is?”

The middle-aged man looked up blankly, and a trace of lucidity slowly appeared in his wooden eyes, ”This is the Valley of Death. How did you get here?”

The Valley of Death!

The eyes of both Carson Flores and Samantha Tate suddenly widened in shock, disbelief painted on their faces.

One of The Six Forbidden Lands of the Wilderness, the Valley of Death!

They had escaped from the Five Elements Immortal Palace only to fall into the Valley of Death, one of the Six Extreme Lands?

Was their luck really this bad?

More crucially, the Valley of Death was not located in Misrds State, but in the middle of Eastern Emperor Province to the east of Misrds State.

In the Barbaric Wilderness Realm, the Central Divine Continent was the largest and most prosperous, with the most population and the world’s center. To the direct west was Misrds State, to the north was the Northeast Prefecture, to the south was Southern Prefecture, to the southeast was Eastern Emperor Province, to the northeast was Easty Prefecture, and to the northeast of Easty Prefecture was Victory Province.

Carson Flores had never expected that by passing through that Light Gate, they would have crossed an entire province and arrived in the Eastern Emperor Province.

This place was far from the Heavenly Mountain Cave; even if they hurried on the Flying Boat without stopping, it would still take at least a month and a half!

Carson Flores stared at the middle-aged man in front of him, his shock intensifying. He and Samantha could say they fell here due to the door of the Five Elements Immortal Palace, but how had this man arrived?

This was an absolute place of death!

Legend had it that the Valley of Death was once a lush place until one day, a blood rain descended, engulfing thousands of miles around. Within its reach, all demonic beasts underwent mutation, becoming incredibly strong and violent.

After the blood rain, huge corpses fell from the sky. The bodies that fell turned into mountains, and their endless blood flowed into the earth. The human or demonic beast corpses buried underground also eerily came back to life, their eyes ignited with blood-red flames, and from then on, they possessed intelligence.

They guarded this place like undying sentinels, attacking all living beings that came close, refusing to allow outsiders to disturb the sleep of their master.

The mutant demon beasts bred generation after generation, and their offspring inherited their ferocious nature and the mutated bloodline. They would attack any outsiders without the unique blood aura, fighting fearlessly and relentlessly.

This was why it was called the Valley of Death, where even the great ones of the Hollow Void Realm usually wouldn’t enter, because they too might die upon entering.

Under such circumstances, how did this man appear here?
