The tribe that the Ancestor of the Demonic Beast Tribe belonged to was an extremely special tribe. Although it was slightly inferior to the top tribes, it was still an ancient tribe after all. It had many means and it was unimaginable.
Sword Maniac was killed by Fang Chen with a single slash. This caused the Ancestor of the Demonic Beast Tribe to lose all courage to fight against Fang Chen. Therefore, he started to escape immediately.
However, the mountain range that was burned by the flames had turned into ruins. Some burnt tree roots that were buried in the ruins were not discovered by Fang Chen and Princess Huang at first. However, after careful observation, they finally discovered that something was amiss.
In a certain part of the mountain range, the towering tree that had turned into ruins had not completely collapsed. Instead, it stubbornly left behind some tree roots. It was the tree roots in the ashes that attracted the attention of Fang Chen and Princess Huang.
The powerful sea of fire just now had burned the heavens and earth. Even the void was distorted. Fang Chen did not believe that an ordinary towering tree could withstand the burning of the sea of fire.
"There's a problem."
Princess Huang also felt that something was amiss. The two of them looked at each other and then quickly came to the sky above the tree roots that were covered in ashes.
At this moment, Princess Huang was surrounded by a cold aura. She opened her fair hands and waved them gently. Suddenly, the temperature in the void dropped. Then, snowflakes drifted down and sealed the void around the tree roots.
Seeing this, Fang Chen raised his palm. The tip of the Sky Destroying Sword carried an indestructible sword Qi and gently pushed away the ashes around the tree roots. After a while, the tree roots were clearly seen.
In the blink of an eye, there was no problem with the tree roots. There were also signs of burning around the tree roots. However, after careful observation, one would discover that the tree roots were not dead. There was still vitality inside.
What did this mean?
It meant that the tree roots would regenerate soon.
All the towering trees in the mountain range had turned into ashes. Only the tree roots of this towering tree had survived. There was only one explanation. The Ancestor of the Demonic Beast Tribe was hiding in the tree roots.
"The space within the tree roots?"
Princess Phoenix had already sealed the surroundings of the tree roots in ice. She carefully inspected the area and didn't discover any aura of the old ancestor of the demonic beast race. She frowned and turned to look at Fang Chen.
The power in Fang Chen's body burst forth, and the Heaven-Destroying Sword let out a cry. Terrifying Ultimate Sword Qi poured into the Heaven-Destroying Sword. Under Fang Chen's control, the Ultimate Sword Qi gathered at the tip of the sword.
Weng!
Around the tip of the sword, there was a vast amount of energy. Fang Chen controlled the Heaven-Destroying Sword, allowing the tip of the sword to gently touch the root.
"Hmm?"
He realized that the roots of the tree were rather tough. The Heaven-Destroying Sword did not manage to cut them.
This made Fang Chen even more convinced that there was something wrong with the tree root. Immediately, he activated his strength and shook his wrist. The Heaven-Destroying Sword drew a strange trajectory and cut the tree root with its sharpness.
Huala!
Fang Chen reacted quickly and grabbed the cut root.
The area around the root was smooth, and there was a faint warm aura. Fang Chen exerted force in his palm and directly crushed the root.
Beep beep beep!
However, a shocking scene appeared. The vitality in the root dissipated in an instant, and drops of blood dripped from the broken root.
"This is?"
Fang Chen exclaimed. This was not the blood of the root, but the blood of the Patriarch of the demonic beasts.
"Where is he?"
Princess Huang looked around. Her Void Seal did not have any abnormalities.
Fang Chen frowned and fell into deep thought.
After a long while, he exerted force in his palm and completely crushed the remaining tree root. The blood of the Patriarch of the demonic beasts dripped into the ashes.
"Golden Cicada Shell Shedding."
Fang Chen laughed bitterly and mocked himself, "I did not expect him to make such a choice."
Princess Huang did not understand and looked at Fang Chen in confusion. The latter explained, "I once read about a tribe in the Lan Book. They had a very mysterious Innate Super Power."
This Innate Super Power was to burn one's own blood in exchange for energy with wood-based plants. Then, one could use the roots of the wood-based plants to escape.
Of course, under normal circumstances, this tribe would not use their Innate Super Power.
Because whenever they used their Innate Super Power, it meant that they had encountered a life and death crisis.
Once they used their Innate Super Power, it meant that the blood in their body would be completely dried up. Even if they could use the roots of the plants to escape, their cultivation path would be interrupted.
To put it simply, the consequence of doing so was to cut off all hope. In the future, they could only struggle at death's door and live in this cruel world.
"I did not expect to encounter it."
Fang Chen curled his lips. This was something he had seen in the history books of the Human Race's Sacred Land in his previous life. He did not expect to encounter it in the Origin World.
Moreover, it was the Patriarch of the demonic beasts.
"Then what should we do now?" Princess Huang asked.
It was a pity that they did not eliminate the root of the problem.
"He burned his blood essence and used his Innate Super Power. He has almost become a cripple. In this Death Cliff, he will not be able to survive." Fang Chen said. He was no longer qualified to fight for the Ghost Emperor's ghost artifact.
Hiss!
A cool breeze blew past, drying the blood in the ashes.
Fang Chen and Princess Huang left the mountain range that had turned into ashes together.
However, no one noticed that there was a sudden movement at the spot where the cool breeze had blown away the blood. The surrounding ashes quickly gathered together and formed a small sealed space.
Then, a drop of blood that was hidden in the ashes suddenly appeared.
After this drop of blood appeared, it fled in a panic with the help of the ashes. Soon, it disappeared into the horizon.
… …
The place where the Ghost Emperor's ghost artifact appeared was getting closer and closer. Fang Chen and Princess Huang also felt more and more suppressed.
Along the way, they could often feel extremely powerful auras. They carefully circled around. Fortunately, these powerful existences seemed to have just awakened. Some of them were still in a half-awakened state and did not have the time to attack them. This allowed them to avoid danger.
"It's so depressing."
On a towering mountain peak, Princess Huang stopped and looked into the distance with her beautiful eyes.
"It's normal. A divine war broke out in the Death Cliff back then and there were heavy casualties. Some almighty figures didn't die but fell into a deep sleep. The appearance of the Ghost Emperor's ghost artifact is a node that will ignite the entire Death Cliff." Fang Chen said.
He had long realized this point. The harsh environment made him even more determined to seize the ghost artifact.
How evil was the ghost artifact that could cause the Death Cliff to tremble?
If it was obtained by someone with ulterior motives, how much bloodshed would it cause?
Especially if it was obtained by the Ghost Emperor, it would definitely be a huge disaster for Fang Chen. It might even bring a devastating disaster to the Chaos Realm.
This was definitely not what Fang Chen wanted to see.
Fortunately, not only had his current cultivation recovered, but it had also risen to another level. It was difficult to find a match among the invincible saints. Even if he were to face an Ultimate Saint, he still had the strength to fight.
Cooperating with Princess Huang, the chances of seizing the ghost artifact were still very high.
