Perfect World: I Am Eternal

Chapter 277 Finally Meeting the Lord of the Forbidden Zone
That creature was filled with murderous intent; regardless of the reason, it had not given up its desire to kill Lin Fan and the puppy.

"Do you really think I'm made of clay? Besides... you don't seem to be in much better shape either..."

The puppy sneered, realizing that the other party was not a living immortal; they were evenly matched.

"You can try!" the creature deep within the forbidden zone spoke, its voice utterly cold and filled with a chilling aura.

At this moment, it felt as if an earth-shattering battle was about to erupt at any moment; the void was extremely oppressive, making it hard to breathe.

"Senior, please wait. I am the son of the ancestral spirit. Could you please do me a favor?" Lin Fan interjected, introducing himself.

"Nonsense! The ancestral spirit is a willow tree. I have never heard of her having a Daoist partner, let alone a human descendant like you. Are you trying to deceive me?"

The man's light rebuke revealed a change in his otherwise neutral demeanor, clearly indicating that he was moved by the words "ancestral spirits."

"I……"

Just as Lin Fan was about to explain further, another voice rang out, also from deep within the forbidden zone.

Who dares to disturb us?

It was a man's voice, somewhat magnetic, but much gentler than the previous one.

“A man and a dog broke the rules by trespassing into our territory and trying to pass through. They should be killed so that they know that not just anyone can come here.”

The creatures that had been there before responded earnestly, but with much greater respect, clearly indicating that this was the true master of the place.

"Child, your bloodlust is too strong; it will affect your path to the Great Dao," said the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, his voice as gentle as a spring breeze.

Lin Fan was startled, and the puppy became wary. The person who had previously possessed the aura of immortality was actually just a child?
This deeply shocked them, especially the puppy, who felt a chill run down its spine.

Because a being who can have an immortal being as their page must have an extremely powerful and unimaginable background.

"Hmm, is it related to an old friend? Or did they come from the Three Thousand Provinces and traverse that road? Interesting."

The Lord of the Forbidden Zone spoke with a hint of surprise, then continued, "Child, put away the magic array and bring them here."

"Yes!"

The page was very respectful and obeyed the man's words without question. He immediately removed the great formation, and the towering pillar of light disappeared and disappeared into the ground.

Immediately, the man and the dog were shocked, because the ground rumbled and cracks appeared, revealing that the bones of a True Immortal were buried beneath.

Don't be fooled by their incompleteness and fragmentation; they reveal that beings of this caliber once ventured into this place and were mercilessly killed!

Upon seeing this, Lin Fan and the puppy gasped, their eyes widening in shock, and they couldn't help but tremble.

"Hey!"

Suddenly, a green wooden bridge appeared, resembling a stone arch bridge but made of wood, stretching out from the distant hills.

Furthermore, it carries a sweet fragrance, its life force is as abundant as the sea, and it is accompanied by strong divine power fluctuations.

"A divine tree!" Lin Fan exclaimed in surprise. Without even thinking, he knew that the bridge must have been made from a tree comparable to a celestial medicine.

"An ancient tree that had become an immortal was felled and turned into a bridge!" The little puppy, with its sharp eyes and extensive knowledge, further explained the origin of the bridge.

In an instant, its heart pounded, and it turned to look at Lin Fan, transmitting its voice, "Kid, there won't be any problems, will there?"

Lin Fan nodded, telling it to rest assured, and then stepped directly onto the bridge, traversing the hills and medicinal gardens without any hindrance.

He believed that if he hadn't walked across this bridge and had instead rushed in directly, he would have been killed by the great formation on the ground, his body and soul annihilated.

Without a doubt, those remnants of true immortals have already proven everything. Once activated, they will be unstoppable, killing gods and Buddhas alike!
After crossing the wooden bridge, several thatched huts appeared ahead. Although not luxurious, they were very simple, yet possessed a transcendent charm. "To see the master, you must cross this small lake," the page said again, pointing to a place with lush green grass.

Not far away, there was a small, sparkling lake that separated them from the thatched hut. There was no bridge, and the only way to reach the other side was to wade through the water.

"Young Lin, this lake may not look big, but it's actually quite dangerous. Be careful." The puppy showed a rare seriousness in his expression.

Lin Fan stroked his chin, hesitated for a moment, and then resolutely walked into the lake.

However, the moment his foot landed, ripples spread across the lake, as if he were in the universe, with a vast sea of ​​stars rippling out.

The puppy was shocked and exclaimed, "This is actually a cosmic lake! What amazing skills! To refine stars into grains of sand, this Lord of the Forbidden Zone is truly remarkable!"

Of course, this is no problem for the puppy; it possesses the body of a true immortal, and even the stars cannot harm it.

However, this is a bit difficult for Lin Fan, who is only at the Divine Fire Realm. Crossing this lake will be fraught with difficulties.

As expected, Lin Fan faced a crisis; his feet rotted, exposing the white bones of his feet, and he endured immense pain.

But he did not stop. He had experienced the greatest pain, he had been to hell and been forged in the flames, so how could that stop him?

At the same time, he knew very well that this was a test set by the Lord of the Forbidden Zone, and that he would be safe once he crossed the lake.

Understanding this, Lin Fan gritted his teeth and continued forward. The flesh and blood of his calves peeled away, revealing golden bones, a horrifying scene.

Moreover, the lake water contains a mysterious power of rules that cannot be cured; no matter how much it exerts its power, the effect is minimal.

"Boom!"

The lake was a clear, deep blue, and as the ripples spread, countless stars appeared, and the aura of the Great Dao permeated the air, as if a vast universe was being opened up, a magnificent sight.

This is extremely frightening. It's just a small lake, yet it contains the energy of life and death. It's terrifying!
“Young Lin…”

The puppy wanted to step forward to help, because if Lin Fan got into trouble, it might be next, and it wouldn't get any benefit.

However, the page stopped him, saying, "This is a test from the master for him; you must not interfere."

"Snap... Waaah..."

In an instant, the small lake was filled with wind and thunder, and the power of laws spread out. It was a scene of the creation of the universe, with countless stars revolving around Lin Fan.

By this time, it was no longer a lake, but a sea of ​​stars. With each step he took, chaotic energy surged, as if the world was being created.

The stars are shining!

During this process, Lin Fan's flesh and blood began to peel away from his feet, and eventually, it spread to his head.

His flesh and blood were gone, leaving only a skeleton, which slowly sank into the lake, making the puppy's hair stand on end.

"Oh no, oh no, if this kid dies, am I going to die here too, and be made into dog meat hot pot?" it thought in alarm.

However, things turned out differently than expected. After Lin Fan sank to the bottom of the lake, he slowly rose again, and as he moved forward, his flesh and blood began to regenerate in a strange way.

When he finally emerged from the lake, he had fully recovered, full of vitality, his battle armor covering his body, just as before.

"Senior!" Lin Fan said calmly, bowing to the man in front of the thatched roof.

"You are very good and very special. Only those with extraordinary talent can cross the Cosmic Lake and the Lake of Life and Death."

The man in white commented, his voice gentle and tinged with a smile.
