Daylight! (Third Update)

The red fog was undulating like strands of silk, with a special energy connecting each strand, forming a sea of red fog clouds.
It was the first time Yang Zhen’s soul had stepped out, reaching the state of wandering the universe, and it happened so suddenly that he was truly flustered.
Once he entered the red fog, Yang Zhen gradually calmed down, understanding the situation, and began to feel both intrigued and curious.
What puzzled Yang Zhen was that even the most exceptional powerhouses in the Tribulation Crossing Period, like Palace Master Liu, struggled to enter 100 feet into the Forbidden Land of Life. Yet, he had floated a thousand feet out in an instant.
That was quite a feat!
Looking at the sea of red fog clouds next to him, Yang Zhen couldn’t help but feel proud.
The surrounding was filled with undulating red fog. It circulated in and out around and even within Yang Zhen. It didn’t feel odd; instead, it felt as though he was submerged in water.
Yang Zhen was gradually becoming familiar with controlling his soul’s form, but he remained unable to move and thus felt a bit frustrated.
Then it struck him, water!
“Damn, just because Sao Saint can’t fly doesn’t mean I can’t swim. Back in the day, Sao Saint was a sight to behold at the university’s public swimming pool, my swimming technique was top-notch!”
Murmuring to himself, Yang Zhen recalled his swimming techniques, the various methods of force exertion, breathing, and how to swim to look graceful without tiring himself out.
In the next moment, Yang Zhen took a deep breath, moved his arms, and began doggy paddling!
It was the swimming style Yang Zhen was most familiar with and best at. In the pool, the splash of his kicking feet made loud noises, water splashed all over, and he looked pretty awesome. Wherever he passed, people would involuntarily stop to admire his perfect form.
“I moved!” Yang Zhen laughed loudly as he quickly moved forward. In a blink of an eye, he travelled more than ten meters, even faster than swimming in water.
Yang Zhen quickly fell in love with this feeling. He indulged in paddling and didn’t notice that the red fog cloud sea was becoming denser, making it hard to see what lay ahead.
Suddenly, he felt a strange energy fluctuation from the front. Yang Zhen, engrossed in paddling, was taken aback, stopped, lifted his head, and got a shock.
An immense ancient bronze tree emerged in front of him, towering into the sky. When Yang Zhen looked up, he couldn’t even see the top of it.
The bronze ancient tree was incredibly massive, like a wall blocking Yang Zhen’s path. After sensing it, he realized it was as thick as a dozen people hugging it.
Looking upwards, there were branches everywhere, and on almost every branch, hung at least one corpse. This startled Yang Zhen.
“What the hell is this?”
Getting closer, creepy whisperings reached him. Yang Zhen’s soul form began to feel dizzy, so he quickly moved away from the bronze ancient tree.
The corpses looked as though they had been drained. Each one had turned into a mummy, some had missing heads, and others held their detached heads in their arms, hanging from the bronze tree branches in mid-air.
Next, Yang Zhen was suddenly disoriented. When he came to, the bronze ancient tree had disappeared, replaced by an enormous red swamp. Similar to the tree, the swamp was littered with corpses, just bones this time. It seemed as though their flesh and blood had melted into the swamp, the bubbling dark-red swamp was extremely eerie.
Yang Zhen observed his surrounding while paddling, expressing surprise repeatedly. The Forbidden Land of Life was indeed terrifying, giving Yang Zhen a new perspective.
After an unknown length of paddling, Yang Zhen suddenly saw a house!
A… house?
Upon seeing this house, Yang Zhen was utterly baffled.
The Forbidden Land of Life was devoid of all life, yet, here he was, looking at a house made of unknown wood.
“Damn, who said this place is uninhabited? The existence of a house at least proves that someone lived here before, and it wasn’t just for a short time!”
Driven by curiosity, Yang Zhen paddled forward, intending to enter the house, but his expression changed suddenly. Before he could react, it was already too late.
A terrifying pulling force came, Yang Zhen didn’t even get a chance to cry out before he was pulled into a small courtyard.
In the courtyard, flowers emitted a delightful scent. Life was abundant here, which hammered waves of shock into Yang Zhen’s soul.
The Forbidden Land of Life, a deathly place filled with lifelessness. How could anything flourish here?
As expected, Yang Zhen took a closer look at the plants. All were fake!
Hum- !
With a thunderous roar, the surrounding environment changed completely into a Bone Mountain, towering high, causing Yang Zhen’s hairs to stand on end.
Even if he didn’t have any hair at the moment, he could clearly feel the sensation of his hair standing on end.
“A mountain made of bones!”
He never thought that the mountain made of bones would actually appear!
Yang Zhen suddenly remembered, he had heard a cheap cat mentioned it, about the mountain made of bones.
At that time, he thought the damn cat was telling fairy tales. If there really was a mountain made of bones, how many bones would it take to pile up into a small hill?
But now, Bone Mountain was right in front of Yang Zhen. It was a huge mountain full of bones scattered all over, countless, many thousands.
Yang Zhen’s heart surged with shock. What on earth had happened here? Why would such a ridiculous thing like Bone Mountain appear?
The eerie voice came again, and this time Yang Zhen heard it clearly. It came from Bone Mountain.
Yang Zhen gritted his teeth and started climbing Bone Mountain. With a few strong strokes of his legs, he lunged dozens of feet. Even though he moved swiftly, like lightning, it still took him quite a while to reach the top.
A jade monument, a coffin, and the back of a woman entered Yang Zhen’s line of sight.
“I…I…shit!” Yang Zhen stiffened all over, his eyes wide open staring at the scene in front of him, his legs weren’t very cooperative.
As he watched the woman slowly turn around, Yang Zhen screamed and ran away: “Shit, sorry, sorry for the interruption!”
At this moment, Yang Zhen found he could control his body to run in mid-air without dog paddling, and he moved as fast as lightning. It only took him a thought, and he had shot out thousands of feet.
Boom !
An invisible wave exploded behind Yang Zhen. Even though Yang Zhen was moving quickly, he was still slightly affected by this energy.
Puff !
Yang Zhen spat out a mouthful of old blood, leaving a puddle on the ground. Cold sweats instantly soaked his clothes.
Hua Youyue’s face turned pale suddenly. She turned to Yang Zhen in shock and exclaimed, “What happened to you?”
The others were all startled by Yang Zhen, looking at him with strange expressions even the cheap cat came up with a strange face: “Motherfucker, kid, what did you encounter? It’s the first time I’ve seen you spitting blood.” Yang Zhen stared blankly into the red mist, his mind filled with the moment the woman turned around.
That terrifying energy fluctuation was so powerful, Yang Zhen didn’t even have the courage to linger for a second longer.
It was lucky he ran so fast!
“Inside the Forbidden Land of Life…” Yang Zhen looked deeply at Hua Youyue, speaking in a tone full of uncertainty, “There’s someone!”
“What?” Hua Youyue and the others were shocked.
However, the next moment, Yang Zhen said something even scarier: “That person.Js you!”
Hua Youyue’s face turned pale instantly, and she quickly grasped Yang Zhen’s arm: “Where?”
“I’ve really seen a ghost in broad daylight!” Yang Zhen muttered to himself, his eyes filled with disbelief.
