Forest of Oblivion

"Since you are the true inheritor I can open up the inheritance left behind by the Ancient Void. Although you have to at least be in the Spirit Lord Realm before you can enter the inheritance" said their master. After learning he is the inheritor of the Ancient Void, and that he can only gain the true inheritance once he reached the Spirt Lord Realm Feng Ja began to cultivate even more diligently. So for the next ten months Ja and Wuheng cultivated there Qi and body techniques. They also trained there skills to there corresponding cultivation realms. In these ten months Liang Wuheng had broke through to the origin core realm and all the way up to peak third stage origin core. Feng Ja on the other hand had the most gains and managed to cultivate and breakthrough to the Spiritual Gathering Realm in three months. In five months he managed to clime all the way to peak eighth stage. After the day of cultivation and training dis Ja and Wuheng approach there master. "Master we would like to go out and experience some life and death battles because our cultivation has started to slow at a tremendous rate" said Feng Ja. "You both should have left months ago I was beginning to think that you thought this would be a breeze to reach the Dao realm with your divine techniques" said their master. "Well you see the forest thats to the West it is called the Forest of Oblivion because anyone who tries to venture in is either is erased into oblivion on their first step. Or they walk in and will encounter unknown rare treasures and herbs. You only get three entries into the forest in your life and each time you will have to have increased your cultivation by two realms. Even experts in the Dao Realm can only make it to the inner part without worry." After hearing the background of the forest their eyes shined with excitement. "One more thing there is no demonic/divine beast, demon, or other race in this forest under the seventh stage Origin Core Realm" said their master. After hearing that the two immediately set off to grab some supplies to be gone for the at least two and a half years that will leave Feng Ja nine months to prepare for his challenge. After getting their stuff prepared the two said their plans and goodbye to their master. They both stopped at the entrance of the forest and took a slow step. After stepping into the forest they felt a murderous intent from all around. "Ja stay close this will not be a easy or peaceful adventure" whispered Wuheng. " Brother Wu don't worry as long as we stay focused, keep our guard up, and not be to arrogant we will survive" Ja stated. After walking for about twenty minutes they heard a noise coming from the surrounding trees. After waiting for two breaths dozens of huge silver gorillas jumped down from the trees. These were peak rank eight earth realm meta gorillas. Their strength was equal to a peak stage eight origin core realm expert. They were 7m tall and they had speed that could match a third stage origin core realm. After analyzing the situation Wuheng went and sat on the nearest rock drawing looks of bewilderment from not only the meta gorillas but also Feng Ja. "Ja in any other situation I would help you out, but in this situation you have the perfect scenario for a life or death fight. I will only intervene if you come to within inches of death" said Wuheng. Ja shrugged his shoulders as if it wasn't a big problem with what Wuheng said. Ja fixed his gaze on the gorillas while unleashing his bloodline and cultivation. The moment the gorillas felt his aura some knelt down while others roared in anger. The ones roaring were enraged because of the inferiority they felt from Ja's bloodline. The meta gorillas that could still move instantly jumped towards swinging there massive fist. Feng Ja decided to test his strength so he dodged the group of fist. After successfully dodging Ja through a punch with half his strength towards the closest meta gorilla. The qi fist he threw was black with a grey outline and had his full cultivation behind it. The meta gorilla roared and threw a punch with its full force and a silver fist with strong metal element appeared. The moment the two fist met an amazing scene took place. Feng Ja's fist of qi opened a spatial tear and immediately the void was seen. The gorillas punch was immediately swallowed by the void and continued forward. Once the fist hit the meta gorilla its upper body half exploded sending its body parts everywhere. The other meta gorillas looked and immediately roared trying to take revenge for its fallen brethren. Feng Ja didn't get arrogant he immediately took a stance and once the meta gorillas got close he threw out four kicks. When the kicks were thrown clouds immediately covered the area. The pressure emitted by those clouds were for people trying to breakthrough into the Nascent Soul Realm. Every being in a six mile radius was suppressed and couldn't move. The tribulation lightning was black a color never seen before as three thousands bolts descended on the meta gorillas all at once. Once the lightning struck all of the meta gorillas were fried from the inside out. Behind the meta gorillas a few dozen trees were charred black smoking and on fires for a few thousand feet. Once the lightning bolts descended the suppressing aura lifted and the clouds scattered. Feng Ja then walked up to Wuheng and gestured for them to continue forward. Wuheng started to walk but was cautiously thinking about Ja's last attack. Even he had a hard time breathing when the tribulation started and thought if he could take that kick with cold sweat going down his back. He shook his head put those thoughts to the back of his head and started to move faster. The next eight months they ended up fighting lots of lower level monsters that were easily defeated by Ja. So they decided to move to the boundary that separates the inner region from the outer region. Once they got within fifty miles of the border did Ja and Wuheng slow down. They started to encounter beast at the peak of origin core with strength equal to a mid third stage spirit infant level cultivator. Wuheng started to fight and he was being suppressed by some of the beast with high tier bloodline and at the quasi heaven rank. Feng Ja was in a worse situation because his pow cultivation. He could only use his strongest attack skills to defend which was costing him to much qi. So he had to be extra cautious with how he moved in this part of the forest. Eventually the sky started to dark and they decided to make camp for the day to rest. They got there tent and fire set up before deciding to hunt for there food instead of eating the rations they prepared. So they left there camp and started to hunt after going about a half kilometer they stopped. "Wu we're being watched by something or someone" said Ja in a whisper. "Whatever it is it far out ranks us because our spiritual sense just picked them up" Wu whispered back. Before they could continue to talk a beast came from their right it was 5 meters tall it had claws which radiated a heat that could melt anything under the Qi Condensation Realm. After looking at the beast they immediately started to break out in a cold sweat. They were looking at a beast from legends a winged flamed claw tiger. It was a peak earth rank beast with a bloodline right outside the top twenty ancient bloodlines. It had the strength of a mid fourth stage spirit infant realm cultivator due to its bloodlines added strength.
