Although the Underworld's most ferocious creatures had been through the baptism of time, they still contained a terrifying aura of jealousy. Ordinary people would not be able to withstand it.
Only Fang Chen's Primordial Spirit, which was close to the Dao Manifestation level, could withstand it.
Although the three elders were ancient experts who had just awakened not long ago, their Primordial Spirits were far inferior to Fang Chen's.
Primordial Spirits that were close to the Dao Manifestation level were also divided into three grades.
Among them, the basic grade was the first grade, the middle grade was the second grade, and the supreme grade was the third grade.
The elder in the middle cottage had a Primordial Spirit that was at the middle grade of the second grade. However, the other two elders' Primordial Spirits were weaker and were only at the basic grade of the first grade.
Elder Jia Yuan's Primordial Spirit was the same as the elder in the middle cottage. Only Fang Chen's Primordial Spirit was at the terrifying supreme grade.
He was only one step away from the Dao Manifestation level.
As for how strong a Primordial Spirit of the Dao Condensation realm was, no one present would know.
"All of you, back off."
After thinking for a while, Fang Chen finally decided to try using his supreme grade Primordial Spirit to see if he could activate the Ghost Artifact. As long as he could activate it and suppress the evil aura within, he would be able to control it.
Otherwise, it would be troublesome.
"Be careful. This ferocious creature contains the evil aura of the Underworld. It will corrode your Primordial Spirit," Elder Jia Yuan warned.
Fang Chen nodded and then carefully approached the blood-red soil. In the middle of it was a war blade filled with demonic aura.
The war blade was covered with complicated patterns. Although Fang Chen could not understand these patterns, he could guess that they came from the mysterious Underworld.
"Are these the patterns of the Underworld?"
Fang Chen muttered to himself. Then, he tried to reach out his hand to touch the handle of the war blade.
However.
Just as his palm touched the hilt of the saber, a monstrous demonic aura immediately enveloped his palm. Furthermore, with a speed invisible to the naked eye, it instantly surged into his mind.
In that instant, Fang Chen's body trembled violently. His entire body seemed to be swaying. His mind was shaking violently, and even his primordial spirit was trembling.
Fortunately, his transcendent-grade Primordial Spirit finally stabilized after a series of changes.
"Hmm?"
Fang Chen raised his eyelids and suddenly gripped the hilt of his saber tightly, trying to pull it out.
However, at this moment, he encountered a problem.
The war blade seemed to be firmly embedded in the blood-red soil. No matter how much power he used, he could not pull it out. At this moment, he was in a predicament.
Reality proved that the transcendent-grade primordial spirit could indeed resist the invasion of the demonic aura inside the ghost weapon, but he could not pull it out.
"What should we do?"
Fang Chen's eyes darted around as he tried to think of a solution.
Elder Jia Yuan and the other three elders were also very anxious. They paced back and forth, unable to come up with a solution.
"Let's fight!"
As time passed, Fang Chen was shocked to find that the power in his body was being absorbed by the Ghost Artifact. If this continued, the Ghost Artifact would become stronger and stronger, while his own power would become weaker and weaker until he was completely devoured by the Ghost Artifact.
He was running out of time. He could only fight.
Gritting his teeth, Fang Chen released the ten strands of Ultimate Strength in his body. The vast power intertwined and surrounded Fang Chen's body. Ultimate Strength was one of the strongest powers in the world. It was also the most important part of the cultivation system of the ancient civilization.
Fang Chen had worked so hard for so long, but he had only managed to condense ten strands of Ultimate Strength.
It was not an exaggeration to say that the ten strands of Ultimate Strength in his body were his strongest trump card.
At this moment.
He fully activated the ten strands of Ultimate Strength and even merged them into one.
Boom!
This thick and solid Ultimate Power was like a swimming dragon, circling above the blood-red soil. In the end, it let out a deafening sound, and with an unparalleled momentum, it crushed the baleful aura and circled around the war blade.
"Success?"
Seeing this, Fang Chen was overjoyed. The merged Ultimate Strength surrounded the war blade. This also meant that the war blade would not be able to break free in a short period of time.
"How can I completely control it?"
If he could not completely control the Ghost Item, when it broke free from the restraints of the Ultimate Strength, he would definitely be killed.
Before he had absolute confidence, Fang Chen did not dare to try.
Time passed bit by bit. The sky above Despair City was filled with dark clouds. From time to time, cries could be heard, as if crying.
At the same time.
The core area had also undergone a huge change. Jia Jiu was shocked to find that some of the Reincarnation Paths had started to crack, and some had even collapsed.
The collapse of the Reincarnation Paths was definitely a big deal for the Jialuo Clan.
"What's going on?"
Jia Jiu immediately investigated, and soon he was completely shocked.
The collapsed Reincarnation Paths were all close to Despair City. The ones that had cracks were slightly further away.
In short, the changes in the Reincarnation Paths were definitely related to Despair City.
He looked into the distance and muttered to himself, "Have they started?"
He knew that by causing the collapse of the Reincarnation Paths, Despair City would definitely turn into a bloody hell. He just did not know if Elder Jia Yuan and Fang Chen could escape unscathed.
"I hope you're all right," Jia Jiu prayed in his heart.
Apart from that.
The huge Death Cliff also welcomed the biggest crisis in history.
All the Demon Clan members prostrated themselves on the ground, their hearts filled with fear. Their bodies trembled as if they were facing a great enemy.
And those ancient awakened experts seemed to have realized something, and they all hid. A layer of ripples gradually spread out in the quiet Soul River.
One could vaguely see a beautiful figure under the Soul River, as if it had existed since ancient times.
Those who wanted to enter the Soul River to investigate suddenly changed their expressions and retreated.
The entire Death Cliff seemed to have come to an end.
However, they would never have dreamed that all of this was caused by Fang Chen.
Deep in the Cave of the Slaying Dragon.
White Ape looked into the distance with a complicated expression.
The primitive clans had given a clear order that no one was allowed to participate in the fight for the Ghost Item.
It seemed that the fight for the Ghost Item was a trial for Fang Chen.
However, the price for this trial was a bit too high.
"Hmm?"
Suddenly, White Ape was shocked to discover something.
Billions of miles away from the Cave of Dragon Slaying.
The Ghost Palace's territory was shaken by dark clouds, and a terrifying aura constantly spread out. The surrounding forces were shocked.
"The legend of the Ghost Palace?"
White Ape's expression was complicated. The phenomenon of the Ghost Palace reminded him of the Underworld.
Thinking of the Ghost Item in the Death Cliff, he was even more convinced that the Ghost Palace and the Underworld had a mysterious connection.
