A torrential murderous aura surged in Mu Chen's mind with endless bitterness, before it endlessly washed over Mu Chen's spirit, causing his eyes to turn crimson.
It was as if a bloodthirsty aura had risen in his heart.
When Mu Chen sensed this, he immediately cut off his senses and opened his eyes with a grave expression.
The Self-Sacrificial Demonic Punch was truly terrifying. Just by cultivating it, one would actually be affected by the bloodthirsty aura.
However, Mu Chen wasn't worried about it. If such a Divine Ability could be cultivated so easily, then it wouldn't be worthy of the name Divine Ability.
"Looks like I will have to sense the killing aura every day and gradually get used to it before I can try cultivating it." Mu Chen muttered to himself.
If he wanted to execute the Self-Sacrificial Demonic Punch, then he would have to place his spirit in a state of killing. Only when he possessed the imposing manner of risking his life could he unleash the true might of the Self-Sacrificial Demonic Punch.
Although the Self-Sacrificial Demonic Punch was extremely difficult to cultivate, Mu Chen was still inwardly rejoicing. Although he had only obtained the first form, it would definitely become his strongest trump card if he could successfully cultivate it.
Huff.
Mu Chen took a deep breath and suppressed the joy in his heart before he calmed his heart and placed his spirit in the battlefield. From now on, he would have to comprehend the killing aura day and night and strive to get used to it as soon as possible.
He was looking forward to executing the Self-Sacrificial Demonic Punch. He wanted to know what kind of earth-shattering power it would possess.
On the morning of the next day, Mu Chen's group woke up from their cultivation state when the night sky had just dissipated.
After a brief reorganization, they had set off once again.
Under their rapid journey, Mu Chen had also started to witness the vastness of the Divine Beast Origin.
Occasionally, there would be regions filled with bottomless abysses.
If one were to look down from the sky, one would discover that the abyss had been forcefully torn apart by a giant hand. It was as if the entire land had been torn apart.
All of these scenes were proof of the ancient times.
When the foreign races suddenly launched a destructive attack on the Divine Beast Origin, just how destructive was it?
As for those deep abysses, there were some regions that emitted treasure auras, but Mu Chen and the rest did not dare to enter. That's because, even after tens of thousands of years, there was still the corrosion of the Evil Aura. The Evil Aura was incompatible with the Spiritual Energy between the heavens and earth. If they were to fall into it, there was a high possibility that the Spiritual Energy in their bodies would be swiftly exhausted or even corroded by the Evil Aura.
His spirit was injured.
Along the way, Mu Chen's group had also encountered quite a number of experts from other races. However, most of the time, the other party would only attack after seeing Mu Chen's group.
After all, they had tactfully distanced themselves.
After all, judging from the surface, there were five genuine Seventh Grade Sovereigns in their group. As for the other three, aside from the weak-looking Mo Ling, none of them were easy to provoke. Thus, it had dispelled the attention of those teams with ill intentions, allowing their journey to be smoother.
Thus …
It was precisely this sort of situation where they would travel at full speed during the day and practice the Self-Sacrificial Demonic Fist at night.
Two days passed as they comprehended the slaughter.
It swiftly passed.
On the third day, Mu Chen and the rest suddenly discovered more Spiritual Energy fluctuations appearing. Furthermore, they were all heading towards the same direction.
This scene made Mu Chen realise that they might be arriving at the Free Trade Point that Han Shan had mentioned.
Just when this thought appeared in Mu Chen's heart, his field of vision suddenly opened up and he saw a massive hill appearing in the distant horizon. On the hill, he could see some ancient stone buildings with countless boundless Spiritual Energy fluctuations emanating from them.
In the surrounding heavens and earth, there were countless streaks of light constantly whistling over, before falling into the huge stone buildings.
Clearly, that region should be the Free Trade Point that Han Shan had mentioned.
"We're here."
Han Shan nodded his head with a smile as he looked at Mu Chen's group. "When we enter the Free Trade Point, we will split up and purchase some items that can resist the deathly aura to make it easier for us to enter the Myriad Beast Graveyard. You guys also have a list of materials with you, so if you encounter any, you can purchase some as well. The more of these items, the more assurance we have."
"Alright." Mu Chen nodded his head.
Whoosh!
Several streaks of light streaked across the horizon as they swiftly approached the Free Trade Point, before descending on the outskirts.
Landing outside the Free Trade Point, Mu Chen's eyes flashed with a smear of shock. The scale and flourishing of this place had exceeded his expectations. According to his estimations, there should be no less than a thousand people in this Free Trade Point.
The group followed the flow of people and entered the Free Trade Point, before Han Shan left with the three experts of the Demonic Rhino Clan, leaving Mu Chen's group of four to stroll around.
When Mo Ling entered this place, she was extremely excited and lively. Her heart of a girl that loved to be lively was completely revealed. When Mu Chen's group of three saw her, they smiled. They came with the mentality of treasures, to begin with, so they followed behind her and allowed her to wander around.
The interior of the trading point was rather spacious. The surrounding ancient boulders were in various postures. A few people were sitting on the boulders on the two sides of the path where people came and went. In front of them, there were actually many thick stone trees. On the tree branches, there were some sparkling crystal balls. Within the crystal balls, there was a dazzling assortment of artifacts.
There were scrolls, ancient swords, white bones and all sorts of unique treasures. Looking at them, they were dazzling and eye-catching.
As Mu Chen strolled around, he would occasionally encounter some materials that could resist the deathly aura and purchase them. Those materials could be considered rare, but their prices were within tens of thousands of drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid. Thus, it wasn't a problem for Mu Chen.
As he swept through the place, Mu Chen had actually discovered some treasures. However, the sellers were clear about the prices of those items, so they weren't cheap. Therefore, he had only taken a glance at them before giving up.
There was no need for him to spend a large amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid for something that wasn't of much use to him.
Thus, along the way, Mu Chen couldn't help sighing. The quality of the items in this Free Trade Point could be considered to be of high quality. Most of the items here would definitely attract a high price if they were to be auctioned outside.
The group followed the flow of people and slowly entered the Free Trade Point. In the end, the four of them stopped before an extremely thick stone tree.
The scale of this stone tree wasn't small, it was at least a fold thicker than those from before. Furthermore, there were quite a number of items hanging on it that were dazzling and seemed to be somewhat extraordinary.
Because of that, there were people coming and going nonstop to check out the items on the stone trees.
Mu Chen swept his gaze over and shock flashed in his eyes. That's because he realised that everything here seemed to be covered in a layer of seal. That seal was extremely ancient, making it impossible for others to probe it.
"Brother, what's the meaning of this?"
Mu Chen looked under the stone tree. There was a skinny man quietly sitting there. Although he had a drowsy look, Mu Chen could sense the powerful Spiritual Energy ripples coming from his body.
That person's strength couldn't be underestimated.
"These items were all taken from a ruin by me. However, there's a seal on them. The seal is extremely unique, there's only a 30% chance of breaking it by force. If you fail, the treasure will self-destruct. Therefore, if anyone wants to make a move, they have to pay 500,000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquids and you can pick an item to break the seal yourself. Naturally … regardless of success or failure, it has nothing to do with me. Even if you open a Saint Artifact, it's yours." The skinny man slowly said as he raised his head and cast a glance at Mu Chen.
The rules of this person were extremely different. This method of breaking the seal by oneself was basically good luck and bad luck at the same time. If one's luck wasn't good, even if they managed to break the seal, they might only obtain a pile of trash.
"500,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid to break the seal once, and the success rate isn't even 50%. Are you insane?" Someone ridiculed from the side. Clearly, they felt that this person was asking for too much.
When he spoke, many people in the surroundings chimed in. They had been looking at it for a long time and were also tempted. But the success rate of less than 30% and the price of 500,000 Sovereign Spiritual Liquids made them flinch.
However, the skinny man could not be bothered with them. He had carefully selected these items and it was likely that anyone with good eyesight would be able to vaguely sense that there was something unusual about them. If it was not for the fact that there was a chance of failure, he would have wanted to forcefully break the seal on all of these items. However … he had tried before. However, what caused him to be furious was that his luck was incomparably bad. Out of the fifty percent success rate, he had not succeeded even once.
Mu Chen and Jiu You exchanged a glance and their interest was piqued. That's because they realised that these sealed treasures were indeed a little unique.
They could give it a try.
This thought flashed in the hearts of Mu Chen's group of four, before sweeping their gazes across the crystal balls.
After sweeping their gazes for a brief moment, Mu Chen and Mo Ling's gazes suddenly froze at the same time, before locking onto a crystal ball on the bottom-right corner.
In the crystal ball, there was a fist-sized black stone. The stone looked like an egg with traces of being burnt on the surface.
