When Xiao Qingyun's voice resounded in this silent ruin, his silhouette had already completely disappeared. Only the Fallen Origin Pellets around Mu Chen and Jiu You proved his existence.
This disciple of the Fourth Hall Master of the Ancient Haven Palace had completely disappeared from this world without leaving any traces behind.
Mu Chen looked at the direction that Xiao Qingyun disappeared in and sighed. From the information revealed by the latter, he could vaguely see what kind of colossus the Ancient Haven Palace was in the ancient times. The seven Hall Masters were probably Earth Sovereigns, and the Master of the Ancient Haven Palace was definitely a genuine Heavenly Sovereign.
However, even such a colossus with terrifying strength had declined in the end. Thus, one could tell how terrifying the invasion of the Fiend Clans was.
It was a war that affected the entire Lower Plane, something that Mu Chen couldn't imagine at this moment.
When Jiu You saw that the atmosphere was a little heavy, she smiled. "Don't think too much about it. Although the Fiend Clans are powerful, our Great Thousand World isn't one to be trifled with. Many pinnacle experts are constantly maintaining their vigilance against them."
Mu Chen nodded his head. With his current strength, it was indeed a little groundless to think about it.
"Let's go, there's no more Fallen Origin Aura in this Level Three Ruin."
Nine Nether waved her hand and stored all the Fallen Origin Pellets around her. A joyful smile appeared on her face as well. "In total, we have obtained a total of over three hundred Fallen Origin Pellets. This far exceeds what we can obtain from an ordinary Level Three Ruin."
Mu Chen nodded his head. Generally speaking, the number of Fallen Origin Pellets that could be refined from a Level Three Ruin should be around a hundred. However, their luck this time was pretty good, since they had encountered Xiao Qingyun, whose body was not destroyed despite the invasion of the evil aura. When he was alive, he was a Ninth Grade Sovereign. Although his strength had decreased due to the passage of time, the Fallen Origin Aura in his body was clearly more well-preserved than the other experts that had fallen in this ruin.
Naturally, compared to the Spiritual Compass, a few hundred Fallen Origin Pellets weren't much of a surprise.
Mu Chen smiled with his eyes narrowed as he tossed the pitch-black compass in his hand. As long as they had this Spiritual Compass, they would be able to seize the initiative in their search for the ruins. It was practically a Divine Artifact when it came to obtaining Fallen Origin Pellets.
"Let's go."
The two of them looked at the ruins once again and no longer stayed any longer. They flew out, turning into two streaks of light that swiftly flew out of the swamp like bolts of lightning.
On the periphery of the swamp, the Nine Nether Troop spread out like a black tidal wave as they cautiously swept their gazes around. Their hands were tightly gripping onto their spears and their bodies were tensed like cheetahs.
There were also silhouettes of the Jiu You Troop on the distant mountain peaks. Clearly, they were monitoring this region to prevent anyone from disturbing Mu Chen and Jiu You from refining the Fallen Origin Pellets.
Whoosh!
Two streaks of light suddenly flew out from the depths of the swamp and appeared in the sky of the Jiu You Troop. When the warriors of the Jiu You Troop saw this, joy surged on their faces as they immediately bowed.
"Are there any other forces approaching?"
Mu Chen looked at Qiu Shan. The latter was initially a top-notch expert in the Jiu You Troop. With the large amount of resources provided by the Jiu You Palace, his strength had soared and he had already stepped into the Second Grade Sovereign Realm. Right now, he and three other top-notch experts were promoted by Mu Chen to be the four Captains of the Jiu You Troop, responsible for training the Jiu You Troop.
When the robust Qiu Shan heard Mu Chen's words, he immediately cupped his fists and replied, "Reporting to the Commander, there were some forces that tried to approach, but they were stopped by us."
Mu Chen nodded his head in satisfaction. Although he and the Jiu You Troop weren't present, the current Jiu You Troop was much stronger than when he had just arrived at the Jiu You Palace. Ordinary forces wouldn't dare to provoke them.
"Palace Master, Commander, where should we go next?"
Qiu Shan and the rest looked at Mu Chen with fighting intent in their eyes. In the past year, they had obtained a large amount of cultivation resources from the Jiu You Palace. Therefore, their strength had swiftly improved. They knew the logic of nurturing an army for a thousand days to be used in a single battle. Right now, the Hunting War was the time for them to reveal their usefulness.
They had to let Mu Chen and the Jiu You Troop know that they did not waste the massive cultivation resources.
Mu Chen smiled. According to the map that Mandala had given them, this should be the limit. If they followed their previous plan, they would be like headless flies roaming around and see if they were lucky enough to discover other ruins. But fortunately, they could change this situation right now.
"It's time to try this thing out."
Mu Chen smiled with his eyes narrowed as he took out the pitch-black Spiritual Compass and poured his Spiritual Energy into it. Instantly, complicated spiritual runes appeared on the surface of the compass and a lustre blossomed. An exquisite screen of Spiritual Energy had appeared on the surface of the compass and Spiritual Energy rays of light constantly spread out in a circular manner.
Mu Chen and Jiu You nervously looked at it. This item had been hidden by Xiao Qingyun for tens of thousands of years, and no one knew if it still had any use. If it was damaged, then they would have rejoiced for nothing.
When Qiu Shan and the rest saw the expressions of Mu Chen and Jiu You, they were baffled as they exchanged a look.
Time slowly flowed, but there was still light spreading out on the compass. There wasn't any unusual phenomenon, which caused the faces of Mu Chen and Jiu You to turn a little ugly.
But just when they were about to be disappointed, the pitch-black compass abruptly trembled and a red dot suddenly appeared on the light screen. Furthermore, it was constantly flickering.
"There's movement!" Mu Chen's eyes abruptly lit up.
Just when Mu Chen's voice resounded, another light dot appeared further away from the red dot. Furthermore, from the intensity of the light dot, it was even denser than the previous one.
In just a few seconds, the Spirit Searching Compass had found two ruins that contained Fallen Genesis Qi!
If the other forces were to learn of this speed, their eyes would surely turn red. With such a divine tool, the mission of finding Fallen Origin Pellets would simply be a piece of cake!
"Let's go!"
Mu Chen's and Jiu You's faces were filled with surprise. Without any hesitation, they reorganized the Jiu You Guard. A large group of people turned into streaks of light and flew out of the swamp, heading in the direction indicated on the Spiritual Compass.
When the Nine Nether Troop moved out, the other forces that they encountered along the way had all retreated with caution. Clearly, they were intimidated by the torrential Battle Will that was being emitted from the Nine Nether Troop.
Some other powerful forces were unwilling to fight the Jiu You Palace at such a time, so they also chose to retreat. After all, although the Jiu You Palace wasn't terrifying, the Great Heaven Domain behind it was a genuine top-tier force that many forces couldn't help but be wary of.
Due to these various reasons, the journey of Mu Chen and the others was unexpectedly smooth. Occasionally, there would be some obstructions, but they didn't pose much of a hindrance to their progress.
Therefore, they arrived at the first ruin indicated on the Spiritual Compass after just four hours.
But what made them a little disappointed was that this ruin wasn't as strong as the one they had previously found. In fact, it couldn't even be rated as an extreme grade three ruin.
Although they were somewhat disappointed, mosquito meat was still meat. It was better than the forces that bitterly searched everywhere for ruins but couldn't find a single one. Therefore, with this thought in mind, Mu Chen and the others swept through the ruins and extracted all the Fallen Origin Qi in the ruins. In the end, they obtained more than fifty Fallen Origin Pellets.
After looting the ruins, Mu Chen and the others charged towards the second red dot without stopping. That ruin did not disappoint Mu Chen. The Fallen Origin Qi in it had also reached the level of an extreme grade three ruin.
However, when he was seizing the Extreme Three Remnant, Mu Chen had finally encountered another obstruction. It was a force known as the Ironblood Battle Sect, which could be considered as a rather famous first-rate force in the Northern Region. This Sect was extremely bloodthirsty, so they liked to go on expeditions. They could be considered as an existence that many forces in the Northern Region feared.
Therefore, when Mu Chen and the rest saw the Iron-Blooded Troop, they knew that a battle was unavoidable. But just when Mu Chen had refined the Spirit of Battle Will of the Nine Nether Troop without any hesitation and was prepared to fight, the leader of the Iron-Blooded Troop had decisively retreated. As he retreated, curses could be heard from afar.
"Fuck, it's actually a monster that has refined the Battle Will Spirit …"
When Mu Chen heard the curses coming from afar and saw the orderly retreating Ironblood Troop, he didn't know whether to laugh or cry. However, being able to avoid a head-on confrontation with the Ironblood Battle Sect was exactly what he wished for. However, from the current performance of the Ironblood Battle Sect, they didn't seem to be as the rumours had said. Their thirst for battle was close to insanity. Therefore, even if they knew that they would have to pay a heavy price, they still wisely retreated.
As the Ironblood Battle Sect retreated, the ruins once again fell into the hands of Mu Chen and the rest.
This Extreme grade three ruin had also given them two hundred Fallen Origin Pellets. In total, they now had around six hundred Fallen Origin Pellets.
According to Nine Nether's words, this achievement could be considered as outstanding. After all, it was extremely rare to find three ruins in such a short period of time, unless the other factions also possessed the same method as them, and could detect the Fallen Genesis Qi.
Whoosh!
After cleaning up the ruins, Mu Chen and Jiu You got the Jiu You Troop to rest for a while before the two of them took out the Spiritual Compass to continue their search.
But just when they were about to search for other ruins, Jiu You and Mu Chen's faces suddenly changed. They clenched their hands and an azure copper mirror appeared in their hands. This was the token that Mandala had given to the Nine Kings before the Hunting War began.
At this moment, there was a blood-red dot of light flashing rapidly on the green copper mirror. It was an extremely dangerous distress signal!
Mu Chen and Jiu You looked at the crimson light on the azure copper mirror and their faces turned extremely grave.
There was actually a King troop in their Great Heaven Domain that had fallen into a desperate situation and had no choice but to use the copper mirror to seek help!
The Hunting War was indeed extremely dangerous!
