Creation Gate Chapter 43

The reason why Ning Cheng dared to jump down was because he could rely on the fact that his divine thoughts could be radiated outwards. However, when he really fell from the airship, that powerful falling inertia made his heart sink completely, he reluctantly cast the Royal Wind Technique, but when he cast it at such a high altitude and under the falling inertia, he could only last for a breath of time.

The short duration was not to mention the powerful force of the fall from the height, which caused him to consume a terrifying amount of true qi to perform the Royal Wind Technique. If he didn’t do something, he would definitely be dropped to his death in this place.

Ning Cheng directly threw out his flying sword and forced his divine thoughts to control it, he was unable to make it wider but barely managed to make it land at his feet.

With a “whirring ……” breaking sound, the flying sword controlled by his divine thought finally slowed him down.

The huge consumption of his divine thoughts and true qi made Ning Cheng understand that he could only last for a few breaths at most, and for a few breaths, he would not be able to land on the ground safely at all.

Without hesitation, Ning Cheng took out a robe from his storage bag, then tied the cuffs of the robe, then grabbed a few corners of the robe in his hands, then his divine thoughts relaxed slightly.

After Dan Ning Cheng’s divine thought relaxed, the flying sword beneath his feet was immediately unable to support his weight, and his entire body fell even faster, at which point the robe bulged out, forming a simple parachute that cancelled out more than half of Ning Cheng’s weight.

After the weight was reduced, Ning Cheng once again forcibly controlled the flying sword, and his divine thoughts finally did not have to be consumed so much. After another ten or so breaths, Ning Cheng brought up a strong wind and rushed into the middle of a dense forest.

“Ka-cha ……” A few crunching sounds were heard as several branches were directly trampled off by Ning Cheng.

With a “bang”, Ning Cheng landed on the ground, instantly kicking out a mud pit the size of a bath tub.

Ning Cheng, who was weak and drained, slowly breathed out, he had finally escaped with his life, and even apart from the consumption of his divine thoughts and true qi, he only had a few simple scratches on his body. This was already the best result for him.

It was just that this place was surrounded entirely by woods, and as he landed in the middle of them, he could only see a few rays of light shooting down from the top.

Two screams of “Yong Yong” came straight down from the air and Ning Cheng only saw a black shadow rushing towards him like lightning, Ning Cheng was shocked and subconsciously gave way, but the black shadow had already flown past his shoulder like lightning. Ning Cheng felt a pain in his shoulder, and under the dappled light, his shoulder was actually scratched off with a layer of his clothes and skin.

What a powerful bird, Ning Cheng did not expect that he would be scratched by a bird when he fell from 10,000 metres in the air without being injured.

Another hiss of a beast came from Ning Cheng’s heart, he knew that the place he had landed was definitely not a good place. He hurriedly took out a spirit stone and held it in his hand, while grabbing the time to recover his true qi, he had already grabbed the flying sword in his hand.

When his true qi was only half recovered, the black shadow that had just grabbed a piece of skin off his shoulder flew down from the air again. Ning Cheng was prepared this time and raised the flying sword in his hand, a blood mist flashed and with a ‘snap’, a giant bird that looked somewhat like an owl landed on the ground.

It was a Grade 1 demonic beast, and Ning Cheng recognised it at a glance. There were demonic beasts here, and it was definitely not a good place. At this moment, apart from the roar of beasts in the forest, there was also a soughing sound approaching. Ning Cheng leapt up and quickly left from where he was.

He had already vaguely guessed that this place should be inside the Da’an Forest, that airship would definitely not have pa*sed over the Da’an Forest, it should have flown along the edge of the Da’an Forest, only that when he landed, he had deviated to the inside of the Da’an Forest due to inertia.

At this moment, he had to leave the Da’an Forest as soon as possible, or else in this place where even Yuan-building cultivators did not dare to cross alone, he would be in grave danger if he stayed here.

Ning Cheng’s injuries were not serious, plus he used spirit stones to recover his true qi, in just half an hour or less, his true qi had completely recovered, and even his divine thoughts had almost recovered.

However, Ning Cheng knew that he was lost again, this place was surrounded by huge trees towering into the clouds on all sides, even where the trees were sparse, there were shrubs overgrown and there was no way out at all.

After running around in these woods for a few hours, apart from all kinds of beasts, there were only all kinds of snakes, insects and rodents. Even the level one demonic beasts, Ning Cheng had met a few times. It was only because he was extremely resourceful that he did not fight these demonic beasts head on.

Another half day had pa*sed and there was no more daylight falling inside the woods for a long time, instead, it was replaced with a miserable white coloured moonlight. Ning Cheng knew that he could not continue like this, he had to find a safe place to rest and then formulate a strategy before he could do so.

“A crunching sound came from beneath his feet, Ning Cheng’s foot slipped and he felt that he had stepped on a round stone.

Ning Cheng subconsciously jumped to the side and found that there was a white skeleton underneath his feet, then Ning Cheng saw hand and foot bones next to the skeleton. Without waiting for Ning Cheng to bend down and check what this skeleton was about, a fishy wind came from behind him, and Ning Cheng didn’t even think about it, he directly moved to the side and at the same time scurried forward for more than ten metres.

A hissing sound followed Ning Cheng’s back, Ning Cheng could even feel the breath that the demonic beast exhaled, it was definitely a demonic beast much stronger than him. The flying sword in Ning Cheng’s hand brought out a sword aura backwards, and his entire body floated away with an imperial wind technique.

Falling from a height of ten thousand metres, the only improvement he had made was that his Royal Wind Technique had risen by a large margin.

“With a crunching sound, Ning Cheng’s flying sword was directly blocked by a wind blade.

It was only at this point that Ning Cheng’s mind was stabilised and he turned around to see a demonic beast the size of a calf. This demonic beast was covered in black, but its eyes were glowing red, like two huge lanterns.

Ning Cheng did not have much contact with demonic beasts, so he did not recognise what kind of demonic beast this was, but he was sure that this demonic beast’s cultivation level was higher than his. It was at least a late level one demonic beast, and if he attacked strongly, he would definitely not be a match.

Ning Cheng carefully took a step back, he saw a shimmering wave revealed from a place farther away, obviously there was a forest lake.

This red-eyed demonic beast also seemed to know that Ning Cheng was not easy to deal with, and after confronting Ning Cheng for a few breaths, it suddenly pounced once again. At the same time, two wind blades were already spurting out of its mouth, which formed a cross shape, showing that this demonic beast was extremely experienced in fighting enemies.

Ning Cheng wanted to retreat to the forest lake, but he also knew that if he didn’t blast this demonic beast away, even if he retreated to the forest lake, he wouldn’t be able to rest in peace.

Faced with the two wind blades spewed out by the demonic beast, Ning Cheng’s flying sword slashed out again, this time he also formed two sword maces.

“Ding ding ding” The demonic beast’s wind blades were like substance as they blasted together with Ning Cheng’s sword awnings with a crisp chirping sound. The powerful recoil force caused Ning Cheng’s chest to choke a little.

The demonic beast was even more irritated when it was blocked by Ning Cheng’s sword mane. Without waiting for it to continue spewing out wind blades, Ning Cheng took the initiative to blast out four fire blades. The four fire blades were so dense that the demonic beast was unable to dodge with its huge size and was blasted by the four wind blades.

“Poof poof poof ……” Several consecutive muffled sounds were heard as the four fire blades left four traces on the demonic beast’s body.

Seeing these four marks, Ning Cheng’s heart sank. When the four fire blades hit the demonic beast, they only brought up some muffled sounds and left some marks, but did not hurt the demonic beast half a bit. The defensive power of this demonic beast was just a little too strong.

The red-eyed demonic beast hissed again, and just as he was about to continue to pounce on Ning Cheng, a more inspiring beast roar came from afar. The red-eyed demonic beast pricked up its ears to listen to the distant roar of the beast, and surprisingly, it gave up fighting Ning Cheng, turned around and quickly ran back, disappearing in a flash into the vast forest.

Ning Cheng slowly breathed out, this was really not a good place. He had to find a place to improve his strength first, otherwise he might be killed by the demonic beasts here before he could even get out of this place.

Ning Cheng put away his flying sword and sped up his speed to run towards the shimmering forest lake that he had seen earlier. The area around the forest lake was open and he could set up a low level defence formation from a comfortable position. Even if a high level demonic beast came, he would still have enough time to walk away.

The forest lake was not far from Ning Cheng, and in just a few dozen breaths, Ning Cheng had already arrived at the edge of this forest lake. This lake was tens of feet in size, and if such a lake was placed outside, it would already seem extremely large. However, in the middle of this forest with towering trees, it did not seem huge.

Ning Cheng walked around this lake for a dozen feet, but did not find a very good place to store himself. Just when he wanted to see if there was a good place around the lake where he could hide, a splash of water several feet high suddenly erupted from the lake. Ning Cheng was startled and hurriedly retreated a few metres away.

However, apart from this spray of water, there was nothing else strange in the lake.
