The Epic Tale of Chaos vs Order - Chapter 1209

Chapter 1209: Immortal Forest Chapter 1209: Immortal Forest The group took another three days of flight before finally reaching their destination-the legendary Immortal Forest.

Relief washed over the Ancient Dragons as they saw the towering trees.

After witnessing the devastation the Great Garden had suffered, they feared the Immortal Forest might have shared the same fate, but that did not seem to be the case.

However, things were not exactly as they should be.

According to Tiamat Sect’s records from previous expeditions, the Immortal Forest was a wondrous place-a realm of unparalleled beauty and vitality.

Towering trees with trunks as wide as castles reached toward the heavens, their leaves shimmering with iridescent hues.  But what greeted the dragons now was markedly different.

Towering trees still dominated the landscape, each as tall as a mountain, their canopies stretching beyond the clouds.

Yet their branches twisted together like colossal labyrinths, intertwining in complex patterns that blotted out the sun.

The leaves were dark and dense, casting deep shadows over the forest floor.

The ground was teeming with peculiar vegetation that writhed and pulsed with unnatural energy, some plants even emitting a faint, eerie glow.

An uneasy silence hung over the forest.

No birds sang, no creatures stirred.

It was as if the entire area was holding its breath.

“It seems the corrosive aura that affected the Great Garden and the Devil’s Hand has reached this place as well,” Eldrick observed, his deep voice resonating in the minds of his companions.

“Indeed,” Cain replied, his scarlet eyes scanning the horizon.

But he remained composed.

Their primary objective was still within reach-the Immortal Sap.

The Immortal Sap was a unique substance secreted by some of the oldest trees in the Immortal Forest.

It had the miraculous ability to extend the lifespans of most humanoid races.

However, the sap held a different kind of allure for beings like dragons, who already possessed long lives.

It enhanced their bodies’ vitality, improving their physiques and constitutions.

It made them more resilient, strengthened their scales, and significantly boosted their regenerative abilities.

None of them had forgotten their ultimate goal in the Primeval World-the Demon King’s Castle.

Enhancing their vitality and regeneration would significantly improve their chances of survival in that unknown and potentially perilous place.

Despite their eagerness to dive into the Immortal Forest and search for the sap, none of the Ancient Dragons moved forward.

Instead, they all turned their gazes toward Cain, awaiting his signal.

His wisdom and keen perception had proven invaluable repeatedly, and they had come to rely on his judgment.

Cain closed his right and left eyes briefly, focusing all his power into his Eye of Gluttony.

The power of the third eye burst as the full might of his soul force channeled into it, his gaze piercing through the dense foliage of the forest ahead, scanning for any signs of danger or opportunity.

“There should be all sorts of creatures inhabiting the Immortal Forest-many of them highly territorial and likely to attack us when we try to collect the Immortal Sap, right?” Cain’s voice was solemn, a slight frown rising as he spoke to the obsidian dragon.

“That is correct,” Eldrick responded promptly.

His eyes narrowed, a sharp and ominous light flickering within them.

A thought occurred to him, and he voiced the concern that was beginning to form in the minds of the others.

“Did the beasts in the Immortal Forest mutate as well?” Cain glanced around, noting the attentive faces of his companions.

He shook his head slowly.

“None of them mutated.” Immediately, a wave of relief spread among the Ancient Dragons.

While they were not afraid of challenges, they preferred to avoid unnecessary complications.

But before they could become too complacent, Cain continued his tone grave.

“None of them mutated because there isn’t a single beast left inside the Immortal Forest.” “What?

How is that possible?” Zalgrim exclaimed, disbelief evident in his eyes.

The lightning dragon’s wings twitched with agitation.

The Immortal Forest was known for its rich biodiversity; countless creatures called it home.

The idea that they had simply vanished was unsettling.

The dragons exchanged uneasy glances, confusion, and concern etched on their faces as they tried to make sense of the situation.

Eldrick’s eyes grew sharp, a meaningful light dawning within them.

He turned back to Cain, a hint of realization in his voice.

“The trees?” Cain nodded solemnly.

“Yes.

I have detected traces of spirituality in some of the trees.

If my guess is correct, just like in the other regions, one life form grew stronger and more ferocious, consuming all the others.

In the Immortal Forest, it wasn’t a beast-it was the flora itself.” Frowns appeared on all the Ancient Dragons.

The implications were troubling.

If the trees had become sentient or corrupted, they would pose a unique and unpredictable threat.

Unlike beasts that were easy to spot, the mutated and sentient trees could hide very well in a forest, especially since not all of them possessed Cain’s ability to perceive spirituality.

Setting the entire forest ablaze wasn’t an option either-they needed the Immortal Sap, which such reckless actions could destroy.

Cain took a deep breath, his gaze steady as he addressed the group.

“We will proceed as we did in the Devil’s Hand.

We’ll divide the Immortal Forest into quadrants.

Those of us with Peak Stellar Abyss Legend battle prowess will move alone.

The rest will form teams.

If you encounter any trouble, don’t hesitate to call for assistance.” His voice carried authority, and the dragons listened attentively.

He then projected a holographic image using his energy-a detailed representation of the Immortal Forest appeared before them.

He pointed out starting positions and outlined the paths they would take, ensuring that every area was covered efficiently.

“Stay alert,” Cain warned.

“We don’t know what we’re dealing with here.

Trust your instincts, and watch each other’s backs.” The dragons nodded in agreement, their expressions resolute.

The gravity of the situation had sobered them, but it hadn’t dampened their determination.

With their plans set, the Ancient Dragons descended toward the Immortal Forest.

As they approached, the sheer scale of the trees became even more apparent.

The trunks were like towering pillars, their bark etched with intricate patterns that seemed to shift subtly when not directly observed.
