Abyss Domination

The closer you get to the interior of the jungle gate, the more lush the surrounding trees become.

Sauron even saw some oak and maple trees with golden leaves in it. These ancient trees did not know how long they had existed. Each of them was hundreds of meters high, and the branches and leaves were quite lush and covered the sky. To judge, these ancient gods have a very strong breath of life. This means that they are all activated treants, and there are many ancient tree wise men who are close to the legendary strength. They are the real guards inside the jungle gate. Even if a team of legendary adventurers comes over, it is unlikely to break through their defenses Wire.

There is a special layer of security protection here.

Under normal circumstances, it would be difficult for even Sauron to break through, but he has a piece of equipment that is almost a divine weapon for a wanderer.

That's the anti-detection cloak!

There are defensive barriers arranged by the natural guardians here, whether they are flying in the sky or running on the ground, or those who want to sneak close, they will all be discovered by them.

The biggest function of the anti-detection cloak is to avoid any spells that detect invisibility.

This is also the reason why Sauron dared to come here. Otherwise, even if he was a saint incarnate as a god, he would not be able to escape safely under the siege of a large group of legendary treants.

——Shadow Realm!

——Shadow Jump!

After getting closer to the warning circle of the ancient tree, Sauron chose the safest way to enter.

His figure escaped into the shadow plane in an instant, and then jumped over the range of the magic warning with the help of space, and appeared directly in the shadow of the rock more than a hundred meters away.

Legendary rogues rely on this power to come and go without a trace!

A huge rhizome appeared in front of his eyes, and Sauron stretched out his hand to press it, and he could feel the slowly passing life essence. The speed of this passing was not very fast, but the life essence it possessed was too huge. Even though thousands of years have passed, these passing essences of life not only gave birth to the half-plane space of the jungle gate, but also continued to give birth to the entire space.

It is like the oldest Orbis demon corpse in the bottomless abyss.

Some extremely huge corpses still exist in certain places in the bottomless abyss, and only the exposed part is like a mountain. They are at the same level as the huge corpses of ancient gods floating in the star world.

A golden oak appeared in front of him.

Sauron felt that this was a powerful guardian of nature, and he only had a second or two at most to steal the water of life. If this time is exceeded, the natural guardian may block the space, and even Sauron will not be able to escape at that time.

Get it and run.

And he couldn't go back the same way. There was only one way for Sauron to leave this half-plane safe and sound, and that was to directly use the power of the 'Shadow' domain to travel from here to the Shadow Plane, and then return from the Shadow Plane. to the Material Plane. In this way, even if the opponent is a high-level legendary natural guardian. Sauron was not afraid that the other party would find his trace.

You only get one chance.

Sauron couldn't help but took a deep breath, and locked his sights in front of the roots of the ancient tree, where there was a special pool.

It's a bit like the reincarnation pool in Bator Hell, but it's filled with purer positive energy.

——Shadow Jump!

Sauron's figure leaped forward and crossed the space in an instant, and he appeared beside the pool in an instant. Then, a lot of water of life was taken away in the blink of an eye, and the whole pool lost about one-third at once.

thief!

An angry roar sounded!

The golden oak tree wise man woke up in an instant, and its huge body stood up, raging with a powerful force. The surrounding space suddenly showed signs of being blocked.

—— Dimensional blockade!

A near-legendary spell that requires hardly any casting action. It was done directly for convenience.

But.

At this time, Sauron had already sensed that something was wrong. He did not greedily take even one more drop of the water of life, but activated the power of the shadow domain in an instant, directly crossing the space barrier and entering the shadow plane.

The moment before leaving.

He felt many powerful auras erupting from various parts of the jungle gate. Big trees stood up one by one, and at least a dozen guardians of legendary ancient trees locked here.

Damn thief!

Angry roars echoed above the jungle gate, but Sauron had long since disappeared by this time.

He only appeared for less than a second from the beginning to the end, and even these powerful legendary ancient trees didn't find any traces of him, and they didn't even see his appearance clearly.

Killing a person in ten steps will never stop a thousand miles away.

This was Sauron's favorite sentence back then, but if a wanderer wants to achieve this level, he must reach the legendary realm.

………………

Everything in front of me is gray.

Sauron's figure appeared somewhere in the shadow plane, but he didn't know exactly where, because the situation at that time was too critical, so he was teleported here completely randomly.

but it does not matter!

He can also return to the material plane through the shadow plane, and it will be easy to judge the direction then.

certainly.

It is still not possible to return directly to the material plane, because the shadow plane is a plane connected to the material plane. If you return to the material plane from here, it is estimated that you will appear directly in the foggy forest.

Now that he has stolen the water of life from the ancient tree man, it will be terrible if he returns to the misty forest!

Sauron was going to start from here, advance tens of hundreds of kilometers in one direction, and then teleport back to the material plane. In this way, he basically left the range of the foggy forest.

As long as he wasn't in the foggy forest, those ancient trees wouldn't be able to do anything against him.

A puff of mist surrounds it.

It is impossible to determine the specific relationship between the material plane and the shadow plane, but what Sauron sees now is also an extremely dense forest.

The trees growing in this forest are like reflections. They have twisted roots, and you can't even see a trace of green. What you can see is only a gray tone.

Trees on the Plane of Shadow are also gray.

Strange cries came from nearby, and there were many creatures unknown to mortals in the shadow plane. Sauron saw a twisted shadow, and it quickly targeted Sauron without much sanity.

——Arcane Missile!

An arcane missile directly took away the distorted shadows in front of them. They were souls that were accidentally reincarnated in the shadow plane, like the twisted petitioners of the bottomless abyss.

Twisting Shadow began to recede.

Sauron looked around for a while, and then quickly moved towards the south.

He had to leave the woods first. As big as the Material Plane was, the Shadow Plane was as big. Although it looked very desolate here, some creatures could still be seen.

Occasionally, there will be some huge broken walls in sight, which are left over from ancient times.

Fallen gods, relics of arcane empires, wizards of the shadow plane.

There are many gods who left temples on the Shadow Plane, and this plane was also developed during the Arcane Empire, so many dilapidated buildings remained here.

This walk is hundreds of kilometers.

Few towns appeared on the Shadow Plane, and the aborigines were too scattered. The population of the entire Shadow Plane was less than one-thousandth of the material plane.

This is the domain of the Lord of Shadows.

As a god of medium divine power, he has a wider influence in the shadow plane, and his kingdom of God is also somewhere in the shadow plane.

This is a natural convenience.

Although he was also forced to leave his own kingdom of God because of the saint's catastrophe, he is also closer to his own kingdom of God than other gods.

——Shadow Realm!

With the distortion of space, Sauron returned to the material plane again.

There was still a vast virgin forest in front of him. He blessed a flying technique to observe the surroundings, and was surprised to find that he was actually very close to his destination.

This is the place of elves.

It was also the vicinity where he was hunted down by the followers of the God of Hunting, and it was about a hundred kilometers away from Fallen Leaf City. A long and towering mountain blocked the route, making it difficult for half-orcs to reach here. At the same time, it seemed to be a natural barrier that separated more connections between elves and other races. Historically, the only way to go to the elves country was through the forest on the other side. If you have to walk hundreds of kilometers.

It's safe!

After confirming that there was no danger, Sauron took a short rest and began to examine the properties of the water of life.
