The token formed by the nine fragments could not withstand the powerful force of the blood-red soil and finally shattered.
Of course, its shattering gave Fang Chen and the others a glimmer of hope.
Fang Chen used his powerful strength and ten strands of Ultimate Power to successfully detonate the token. As a result, a pitch-black hole large enough for a person to enter appeared in the blood-red soil.
There seemed to be extreme danger in that hole.
Crack!
The token shattered and turned into powder. It drifted away from Fang Chen's hand. The other four looked at him simultaneously, their hearts filled with shock.
"This …"
The three elders were dumbfounded. Wasn't Fang Chen's strength too strong?
He was actually able to use his physical strength to resist the blood-red soil, and even blast open a hole in it.
Wasn't this too exaggerated?
Elder Jia Yuan swallowed and quickly regained his composure. He asked, "What's going on?"
In fact, he vaguely guessed that there might be a Ghost Artifact in this pitch-black hole. Otherwise, the token would not have been able to blast open a hole.
"Could it be that the beings of the Underworld took the Ghost Artifact?"
This was the question that Elder Jia Yuan was most worried about. If that was the case, would they still be able to obtain the Ghost Artifact?
"The corrosive power of the blood-red soil seems to have weakened," Fang Chen said.
Hearing this, the three elders were the first to react. However, there was a hint of doubt in their eyes. They had almost died in the blood-red soil, especially the elder in the middle of the thatched hut. His legs had been cut off and had not been reconstructed yet. He was already traumatized and did not dare to try.
"Let me try."
Elder Jia Yuan clenched his teeth and activated all the strength in his body. His robe fluttered as he leaped into the air above the blood-red soil. In an instant, a terrifying corrosive power bombarded his body.
His body shook violently, but he quickly stabilized.
"As expected."
He could clearly feel that the pressure on him had weakened a lot.
"Furthermore, the blood-red soil is no longer a threat."
Whoosh!
Seeing this, the three elders sighed in relief and waited for Fang Chen to speak.
"Since the token activated the blood-red soil and forcibly opened a gap, it means that the Ghost Artifact must be in this cave," Fang Chen said.
There was a hint of tenacity in his eyes.
He was determined to obtain the Ghost Artifact, so even if the road ahead was dangerous, he would not hesitate.
"There is an unknown danger in the cave. You have all seen it."
Fang Chen continued, "Our cooperation is about to end here. After that, the fight for the Ghost Artifact will depend on our own abilities."
He glanced at the three of them. "As for whether you want to enter the cave or not, you can decide for yourselves."
With that, he leaped and disappeared into the pitch-black cave.
Elder Jia Yuan cupped his fists at the three of them and jumped in as well.
The three elders looked at each other. To be honest, they were not willing to give up. Back then, they experienced the destruction of the Chaos and almost died completely. It was not easy for them to use a secret technique and fall into a deep sleep to escape the disaster.
In this life, they woke up from their deep sleep to find the final opportunity. If they could not find it, they would eventually turn into a pile of yellow soil and be forgotten by the world.
In the beginning, they were determined to obtain the Ghost Artifact. However, after experiencing all the previous events, especially the curse of the City of Despair and the blood-red soil of the Underworld, they began to feel fear in their hearts.
"If we cower, we will never be able to step into the Chaotic Supreme Realm."
Elder Xiu broke the silence and said in a deep voice, "We chose to escape back then. If we choose to escape now, we will live in the shadows of others for the rest of our lives and will never be able to step into the Chaotic Supreme Realm."
"That's right. I agree with Elder Xiu. We have lived for so long and have seen all kinds of storms. The Ghost Artifact is right in front of us. We cannot be indifferent," the elder on the right said.
The elder in the straw hut in the middle smiled bitterly.
It turned out that the longer one lived, the more they cherished their lives and were afraid of danger.
Haha!
He laughed self-deprecatingly and shook his head before taking a step forward.
Boom!
When he took a step forward, his aura became unusually sharp. He was like a God of War who could hold back ten thousand men.
"We live in this world in pursuit of the legendary Primal Chaos Supreme Realm."
The elder in the straw hut in the middle said with a thunderous voice, "Even if we die, we will have no regrets."
"Even if we die, we will have no regrets."
The other two elders shouted. Time had worn down their edges. However, if they did not give it their all now, they would disappear forever in the dust of history.
Even old men had their moments of hot-bloodedness.
Now was the time.
The three elders took a step forward at the same time and stepped into the pitch-black cave without any regrets.
Buzz!
After they entered the cave, the blood-red soil moved and instantly covered the pitch-black cave. The City of Despair regained its peace and the lightning in the sky gradually dissipated.
A strong wind blew and dust fell, gradually covering the broken City of Despair.
It was as if no one had ever been here.
The Jialuo Clan's base.
Princess Huang's injuries were very serious. When she was brought back, she was already unconscious. After Jia Jiu helped her settle down, he started to send messages to Elder Jia Yuan to ask about the situation in the City of Despair.
After all, that was the legendary City of Despair. The slightest carelessness could lead to death.
Hmm?
However, there was still no response after countless messages. When he sent the last message, Jia Jiu was shocked to find that he could not send any messages.
What did this mean?
There was no problem with his message token. This meant that Elder Jia Yuan's message token was blocked.
Or perhaps they had fallen into some kind of dangerous place and were isolated from the world.
"What's going on?
What happened in the City of Despair? "Jia Jiu was very anxious. He sent the message back to the clan.
Not long after, he received a reply.
"What?"
After hearing this, Jia Jiu was stunned.
The clan's reply was that the Prophet had predicted that although Elder Jia Yuan was in danger, he would be safe in the end. There was no need to be anxious. They just needed to wait patiently.
"The Prophet has come out of seclusion?"
Jia Jiu was shocked. The Prophet had been in seclusion for a long time in the Chaos Era and had never come out. He did not expect him to come out this time and personally make a prediction.
Since the Prophet had predicted that Elder Jia Yuan would be fine, he was relieved.
However, he was worried about something else.
The Prophet had a high status in the Jialuo Clan. He would only predict things related to the life and death of the Jialuo Clan. He would not predict Elder Jia Yuan's life and death for no reason.
Why would he do this?
He thought about what Elder Jia Yuan had said before. The Jialuo Clan's calamity was coming. If they could not survive, they might even be wiped out.
Could it be that this matter made the Prophet come out of seclusion?
