The Blood Relic was closed, and no one knew what was going on inside.
However, the higher-ups of Sky Island were also paying attention to the Blood Relic.
After all, the changes in the Blood Relic had caused a commotion.
The Blood Relic was too cruel.
The battles between human cultivators were one thing, but they also had to be wary of the Bloodthirsty Race and the Demonic Blood Race.
The Demonic Blood Race could only be considered below average among the 10,000 races.
During the most prosperous time of the universe, the 10,000 races stood side by side, and the human race reigned supreme.
However, as time passed, the human race became more and more weak, and the enemies of the human race took the opportunity to rise.
Even so, a starving camel was still bigger than a horse. Although the human race had declined, it was still not comparable to the 10,000 races.
So far, Fang Chen had only come into contact with the Bloodthirsty Race and the Demonic Blood Race.
He was no stranger to the Demonic Blood Race.
He had even killed many members of the Demonic Blood Race. Relatively speaking, the Demonic Blood Race was much weaker than the Bloodthirsty Race.
The Bloodthirsty Race was a very strange race. They lived by sucking the blood of humans.
Back then, during the war between the 10,000 races, the elites of the human race took action and suppressed the Bloodthirsty Race, wanting to completely destroy them.
However, they failed in the end.
Now, the Bloodthirsty Race had risen from the ashes and was quietly rising in the dark.
The Blood Relic was just one of the battlefields in the war between the 10,000 races.
The Bloodthirsty Race was the main force here, and the Demonic Blood Race was the auxiliary force.
In the Blood Relic, smoke rose everywhere.
The Nine Great Star Kings worked together to find the nest of the Bloodthirsty Race and the Demonic Blood Race.
The other Heavenly Body Tier elites also felt the danger.
They were carefully looking for opportunities.
As for Fang Chen, he had been guarding the Little Mouse in the Flowing Gold Stone Mine.
Only the Heaven Devouring Divine Rat dared to devour the Primordial Ancestral Stone.
If it were any other race, they would be courting death.
The Flowing Gold Stone could produce the terrifying Flowing Gold Water, and the corrosive power it contained was too strong.
Even Fang Chen's perfect sword body couldn't resist the corrosive power of the Flowing Gold Stone Mine.
However, the Little Mouse could resist it.
In the Flowing Gold Stone Mine, Fang Chen opened his eyes.
The Emperor Sword Qi around him was extremely dense.
He had already reached the third step of the Advanced Sword Quintessence Scroll.
If he could reach the fourth step, he would be even more powerful.
However, stepping into the fourth step was not something that could be done overnight.
Ever since his physical body had been smelted within the Heaven and Earth Smelt, the golden heart had undergone a huge change.
Fang Chen's understanding of the Sword Principle became even deeper.
His talent in swordsmanship had improved a lot.
Unknowingly, Fang Chen had become a monstrous genius.
It was just that he didn't know.
In the entire Tian Hua Island, Fang Chen's potential in swordsmanship was enough to rank him in the top ten, or even higher.
"It's been a year."
Fang Chen muttered to himself.
A year ago, the eight of them had entered the Blood Relic. Now, a year had passed in the blink of an eye.
Fang Chen's words were filled with mixed emotions.
In a year's time, his cultivation level had reached the peak stage of the second level of the Heavenly Body Tier.
His strength had also increased significantly, and he was able to defeat cultivators at the fifth level of the Heavenly Body Tier with ease.
Warriors who had broken through to the Extreme Realm had an unparalleled advantage in terms of cultivation.
"I wonder how the Little Mouse is doing."
Fang Chen looked down into the cave. It was pitch-black, and he couldn't see anything.
Moreover, there wasn't any movement inside. His Origin Spirit was blocked, so he didn't know how the Little Mouse was doing.
However, just as he finished speaking, a dazzling golden light suddenly erupted from the underground cave.
"This is …"
Seeing this, Fang Chen's expression became serious, and he looked down anxiously.
Xiu!
The golden light instantly filled the entire underground cave, and then rushed into the Flowing Gold Stone mine.
Dong!
Immediately afterward, the entire Flowing Gold Stone mine actually trembled, giving Fang Chen the feeling that the earth was shaking.
"What's going on?" Fang Chen was puzzled.
Piece after piece of Flowing Gold Stone fell down continuously. Seeing this, Fang Chen's expression changed drastically. His figure flashed, and he directly rushed out of the Flowing Gold Stone mine.
When he flew out of the mine, a deafening rumble resounded through the sky.
The huge Goldflow Stone mine collapsed in an instant.
"The Little Mouse, he …"
Fang Chen's face was filled with worry.
If the Flowing Gold Stone mine collapsed, then what about the Little Mouse? Was he in danger?
Reality proved that Fang Chen's worries were unnecessary.
Because the collapse of the Flowing Gold Stone mine was caused by the Little Mouse.
The reason this mine existed was because the primordial stone had been nurtured over the years.
And now, the Little Mouse had successfully absorbed the primordial stone, so the Flowing Gold Stone mine naturally couldn't continue to exist, and it directly collapsed.
Whoosh!
Just as Fang Chen was worrying, a figure wrapped in golden light suddenly soared into the sky.
"So powerful."
Fang Chen could feel that this figure contained a destructive aura.
"Boss."
The golden light dissipated, and the Little Mouse floated in front of Fang Chen, emitting a fierce aura.
He was in high spirits, and his face was full of smiles.
"How was it? Succeeded?" Fang Chen hurriedly asked.
The Little Mouse nodded, and said, "Boss, the Flowing Gold Stone has already been swallowed by me, but it's impossible to digest in a short time. I need time."
Hearing that, Fang Chen nodded.
The Flowing Gold Stone was a primordial stone after all. Wanting to digest it in a short time was practically impossible.
"But after swallowing the Flowing Gold Stone, my physical body became even more powerful," the Little Mouse said excitedly.
The Heaven Devouring Divine Mouse could swallow everything in the universe.
And the Primordial Stone was the best swallowing object.
Being able to swallow the Primordial Stone at the Heavenly Body Tier had a great impact on his future achievements.
"You don't feel any discomfort, right?" Fang Chen carefully sized up the Little Mouse, and asked.
The Little Mouse shook its head, and said with a smile, "The corrosive power of this Primordial Stone is really powerful. If I hadn't swallowed the Pseudo Primordial Stone previously, maybe I wouldn't have been able to subdue it."
The Little Mouse was very happy, and Fang Chen was also happy for it.
After all, the Little Mouse's strength had become powerful, and he also had an additional trump card.
"Boss, the Flowing Gold Stone was swallowed by me, and the Flowing Gold Stone mine has also collapsed. Take these Flowing Gold Stones away," the Little Mouse said, pointing at the collapsed Flowing Gold Stone mine below.
The Flowing Gold Stones were useless to Fang Chen, but to the Little Mouse, they could be used as rations.
"But, these Flowing Gold Stones are at least over 100 million pieces. Our spatial rings probably can't hold them all, right?" Fang Chen said hesitantly.
"Boss, watch me."
The Little Mouse laughed loudly when it heard that, and immediately opened its little mouth.
A strange scene appeared.
Golden light rushed out of the Little Mouse's mouth, and then instantly enveloped the entire collapsed Flowing Gold Stone mine.
Hu, hu, hu …
Inside the collapsed Flowing Gold Stone mine, pieces of Flowing Gold Stones all flew into the Little Mouse's mouth.
This scene made Fang Chen extremely shocked.
"This …"
After a moment of shock, Fang Chen came back to his senses.
At this time, the collapsed Flowing Gold Stone mine had already been emptied, and a large hole had appeared.
"You took them all into your stomach." Fang Chen opened his eyes wide as he looked at the Little Mouse.
How had it been able to hold so many Flowing Gold Stones?
"Boss, I put them into the Flowing Gold Stone. When I need them, I'll just take them out," the Little Mouse laughed mischievously.
Fang Chen shook his head and sighed when he heard that.
The Primordial Ancestral Stone could not be measured by common sense.
"It's a bit more than I expected. It's a total of three hundred million pieces."
The Little Mouse continued, "Once we leave the ruins, you can make a large spatial ring, and I'll take out the Flowing Gold Stones."
After all, his body was constantly absorbing the Flowing Gold Stone. If he placed three hundred million pieces of Flowing Gold Stones inside, it would affect his progress.
"Okay." Fang Chen nodded.
With his current strength, it was relatively easy for him to make a large spatial ring.
"How's your strength now?" Fang Chen asked.
The Little Mouse blinked, then shook his head, and said, "I'm not sure, either."
Fang Chen was startled, and then nodded.
"However, I feel that it shouldn't be a problem to deal with middle level Heavenly Body Tier cultivators," the Little Mouse said.
Fang Chen laughed mischievously, his face full of a brilliant smile.
"Boss, you have to quickly improve your strength, too. I've already surpassed you," the Little Mouse said teasingly.
Fang Chen nodded, and then said, "Since you've already succeeded, then we should also leave."
"Where to?" the Little Mouse asked.
"To find the barbaric dragons and the others."
Demon Subduing World, First Heaven.
Like a pool of stagnant water, it was quiet. There was not a single person in the whole First Heaven.
Aside from some disciples occasionally returning to submit missions, there was almost no one to be seen normally.
This also made the disciples of the Demon Subduing World extremely mysterious.
Some had joined the Demon Subduing World for a few years, and did not even know who their seniors and juniors were.
Unless they met face to face, the communication jade pendant would only be able to sense them.
The Demon Subduing World did not nurture mediocre people, and would only let disciples go out to temper themselves in life and death battles.
In a certain tall building in the First Heaven.
Senior Brother Qing stood with his hands clasped behind his back, a worried expression on his face.
In front of him, there were eight life slips.
Among them, four were already shattered, and the remaining four were motionless.
Behind him, Senior Brother Chen stood quietly.
Looking at Senior Brother Qing's back, Senior Brother Chen said, "Senior Brother Qing, are you worried about them?"
Senior Brother Qing sighed, and did not speak.
"This matter is not your fault. You also did not know that there was a sudden change in the Blood Ruins. Otherwise, you would not have let them enter to temper themselves," Senior Brother Chen explained.
The deaths of the four made Senior Brother Qing feel very depressed.
"If Fang Chen had died in the ruins, I would have become a sinner of the Demon Subduing World."
The Demon Subduing World's forces were spread throughout the entire universe, and even Senior Brother Qing did not know how powerful they were.
i.
However, as powerful as the Demon Subduing World was, it was impossible for them to turn a blind eye to a genius who had broken through the Extreme Realm.
A genius like Fang Chen who had broken through the Extreme Realm was also very important to the Demon Subduing World.
If he had died because of a mistake in his decision, then Senior Brother Qing would have a lot of responsibility.
"I hope you all can survive."
However, Senior Brother Qing knew that the chances of Fang Chen and the others coming back alive were very slim.
In one year, four people had died.
