Chapter 981 688: Anger Sin Domain (Part 2)
As they spoke, the group had already arrived at the Golden Light Zone left behind by the Celestial Dragon Race.
Li Zheng looked back and found that the place where the canyon ended was only more than ten kilometers from the Golden Light Zone.
This means that to descend from that canyon, at least the Red Magic Crystal would need to be absorbed to its limit.
Otherwise, it would be easy to fall into the Sin Domain and be assimilated by its environment.
The three races have been stationed there for nearly a thousand years, having experienced countless Emotion Storm wars, and after each war, the Sin Domain would be filled with twisted creatures.
What the Black Dragon Ancestor said before was true; they certainly didn't lack money...
Walking in the Golden Light Zone, the Black Dragon Ancestor gazed at the members of the Celestial Dragon Race, who maintained their moments-of-death forms, and lamented with a sigh: "In that war of the Celestial Dragon Race back then, I watched from afar in the rear, and the fearless emotion infected even me, itching to fight alongside them. If I hadn't had clan members to care for, perhaps I might have become one of them back then..."
The gray-haired woman said, "It's not too late now."
"Yes, indeed." The Black Dragon Ancestor looked ahead, saying after a while, "It's not too late now."
The more Li Zheng listened, the more he felt something was off. A thought suddenly flashed in his mind, startling him: "Could it be that you three, now free of attachments, intend to end your lives in the Sin Domain?"
"To be precise, we are merely repaying the sins of the past." The Black Dragon Ancestor released a surge of blood qi and said: "These are the sins of our race, stains left in our history. Now that they have entered the Outer City and ushered in a new life, these stains should dissipate as well."
"But... you could still live well, even staying in the Sin Domain to hunt for twisted magic crystals for your people," Li Zheng advised. "With the three of your abilities, venturing into the area beyond the Golden Light is within reach, and hunting for Purple Magic Crystals would be no problem. Wouldn't it be better to continue contributing to the three races?"
In fact, now in some races outside the city, many clan members are only bloody ones, able only to live in the wilderness.
But whole races like the Black Dragon Race and the Blood Tribe, unable to enter the Outer City, could only remain as they were because the red-name ratio was too large in the Matrix at the time, causing even those without red names to lose the qualification to rise to the Outer City.
"So we bear the sins of the three clans," the Black Dragon Ancestor said, retracting his blood qi and continuing forward.
Seeing their resolve, Li Zheng knew he couldn't persuade them and could only follow in silence.
A few hours later, the group arrived at the edge of the Golden Light Zone, where many people from other races were gathered, and like other Sin Domains, everyone wore concealing clothing.
Only Li Zheng and his group were unique, showing their true faces.
An alien wearing concealing clothing stepped forward, stopping twenty meters away: "You should understand the rules of the Sin Domain. Please put on concealing clothing and do not cause unnecessary trouble for others."
The Gluttony Sin Domain is related to eating.
And aliens...
can also eat.
Particularly, some special aliens have a preference for certain species; upon encountering aliens with similar appearances, they might not be able to suppress their urges.
"Sorry, we'll leave immediately," the Black Dragon Ancestor apologized, waving a hand before putting on a piece of concealing clothing.
Li Zheng and the rest also each put on one.
Then, in full view, the group marched out of the Golden Light Zone.
Buzz!
A sound seemed to explode in their minds, and everyone felt an immense hunger, even Li Zheng couldn't help but want to eat something to satisfy his cravings.
Little Sakura kept saying, "Daddy, I'm hungry again!"
The Red Polis couldn't help but shout, "Poli Poli!"
Despite Li Zheng's protection, the influence of the Gluttony Sin Domain couldn't be entirely eliminated.
Helplessly, Li Zheng handed Little Sakura over to Mirel, saying, "Take them and wait for me in the Golden Light Zone."
Mirel's condition was slightly better than Little Sakura's group, able to barely maintain her reasoning.
She agreed with Li Zheng's arrangement immediately, holding Little Sakura back to the Golden Light Zone, where the overwhelming hunger subsided.
Li Zheng took out a few fruits and placed them in Little Sakura's hand, advising her, "When you want to eat, tell Mirel Mama and let her take you to a secluded place to eat, without disturbing others, understand?"
"Got it, Daddy." Little Sakura cleverly hid the fruits under her concealing clothing, keeping them out of sight.
"Good girl." Li Zheng patted her little head, "Daddy will be back soon."
He then turned and followed the already distant leaders of the three races.
Watching their receding figures, someone finally couldn't hold back and said, "That area is rarely ventured into, full of dangers and countless twisted creatures. If trapped, it would be hard to return."
Someone beside them responded with a cold laugh, "They are acting foolishly; what does that have to do with you? If you feel so conflicted, why not chase after them to persuade them back?"
Someone else said, "I've met that old man before; he's the clan leader of the Blood Patterned Black Dragon clan and often comes to the Gluttony Sin Domain. He knows the area more intimately than we do and fully understands what that region represents."
"Then why are they going there?" Someone exclaimed, "Could it be they've lived too long and are bored of it?"
"You might be bored of living, but they are not," the person sneered, "I suspect they have some undisclosed purpose for going there!"
"What purpose?" Someone asked.
The person replied confidently, "How would I know?"
At this, the conversation ended. Some thought of the person's previous words and wanted to chase after the Black Dragon Ancestor and others, but hesitated, fearing insufficient strength.
Meanwhile, some from the wilderness were already planning to rob the Black Dragon Ancestor and his group upon their return.
"This area is too dangerous; we seldom venture here," the Black Dragon Ancestor said to Li Zheng, "So we might not be able to protect you later."
Li Zheng laughed, "There's no need to worry about me, Ancestor. Worse come worst, I'll just escape back to the Golden Light Zone."
"His speed is pretty fast; most twisted creatures in the Gluttony Sin Domain can't fly and are quite clumsy, so there's no need to fret over him," the Blood Queen chimed in, appearing to be on alert.
Li Zheng wasn't worried about encountering any unmanageable dangers. Should such a danger approach, Old Pu would certainly warn him immediately.
Now, the data before his eyes was spectacular, indicating that over fifty kilometers ahead were innumerable twisted creatures of the Purple Magic Crystal level.
If he adjusted his gaze by even the slightest angle, the information would refresh instantly.
It's unimaginable how many unseen twisted creatures exist there.
Walking for a while longer, Li Zheng could see from afar a low mountain range appearing in the furthest sightline, which wasn't truly mountains but enormous twisted creatures resembling small mountains.
As they drew closer, he could make out the approximate appearance of the twisted creatures.
The twisted creatures in the Gluttony Sin Domain differed from those in the Fourth Sin Domain and the Anger Sin Domain.
They were massive, extremely obese giants with round belly figures and short thick legs; their entire bodies were bluish-purple with terrifying, tusked faces.
Some twisted creatures had already noticed their arrival, opening blood-red mouths and emitting urgent roars.
They thundered toward them.
Their heavy bodies stomped the ground, even causing Li Zheng to feel the earth shake as if starting an earthquake.
"Let's do it," the Black Dragon Ancestor said to the Blood Queen and the other person.
Not waiting for their response, he took a step forward, spreading his arms wide.
"Aoo!!!!"
A resonant dragon's roar emitted from his mouth, followed by his elderly body swiftly swelling, tearing apart the concealing clothing, transforming into a colossal black-scaled dragon dozens of meters high, with blood-colored patterns sprawled across its dragon scales.
An enormous pair of dragon wings unfolded from behind, blotting out the sky.
"Hiss!" Li Zheng gasped, entering the Matrix, it was his first time encountering such a gargantuan existence.
Compared to the giants he faced before, Black Dragon Ancestor's current form was otherworldly, akin to comparing a child to them.
Whoosh!
The dragon wings flapped, whipping up a fierce wind; debris scattered, pelting the ground with tiny craters.
This kind of physical power was extraordinary, leaving Li Zheng envious.
If only he possessed such physique, then perhaps he could accommodate even a tenth of the spiritual power.
