It was a dark land of nothingness. The darkness seemed to be able to devour even the air, which made others feel extremely oppressive and heavy …
Whoosh!
However, this darkness and silence, which lasted for an unknown period of time, was suddenly broken in the next moment. Ripples appeared in the empty space, and a crack vaguely appeared. After which, a couple of rays of light shot out and appeared in this dark emptiness.
…
Four silhouettes stood in the sky. The moment they appeared, Spiritual Energy swept out and enveloped their bodies, before looking around with vigilance. After a brief moment, only when there weren't any movements, did the Spiritual Energy around them weaken.
As the Spiritual Energy weakened, their silhouettes were gradually revealed. They were Jiu You, Mu Chen, and Mo Feng, who came from Jiu You Mountain.
"This is the Divine Beast Origin?"
Mu Chen was a little stunned as he looked at the dark void. It was complete darkness in his line of sight. How was this the so-called Divine Beast Origin?
"This is a space of nothingness where the Divine Beast Origin is."
Jiu You looked around with a grave expression before looking into the distance and said, "In this void, Spiritual Energy will be decomposed by the darkness. So if we are exposed to the void for too long, even our Spiritual Energy will be gradually decomposed and we will be unable to escape."
When Mu Chen heard her words, he was instantly startled and immediately sensed that the Spiritual Energy in his body was being decomposed at an extremely slow speed.
Furthermore, the most terrifying thing was that there wasn't any way to absorb Spiritual Energy in this void, so the Spiritual Energy in his body was being decomposed.
But it was difficult to replenish it.
"If this goes on, we won't be able to find the Divine Beast Origin, and I'm afraid that our Spiritual Energy will be exhausted."
I'm afraid that my Spiritual Energy will be completely exhausted. "Mu Chen frowned. Although he was a little shocked by the strangeness of this place,
However, he didn't panic too much. With Jiu You's understanding of this place, Jiu You and the others should have been prepared.
Sure enough, just as Mu Chen expected, Mo Ling chuckled and said, "Big Brother Mu Chen, don't be anxious. We're waiting for our mounts, and they'll be able to travel through space and arrive at the Divine Beast Origin very soon."
"Mount?"
Mu Chen was startled as doubt filled his heart.
In this kind of void, it was difficult for even life to exist, so how could there be mounts?
However, even though Mu Chen was puzzled, he didn't ask any more questions. In any case, he just had to follow them. With that in mind, Mu Chen calmed down and waited silently.
Mu Chen did not have to wait for long before his expression changed.
Suddenly, he raised his head and looked to the left, only to see ripples suddenly appearing in the darkness. And then.
Thereafter, he was shocked to see a boulder that was roughly a hundred feet in size silently streaking across the darkness.
It was like a meteorite as it whistled in their direction.
"This is our mount …" Jiu You smiled towards Mu Chen. "Ride it.
After a few more transfers along the way, we will be able to find the Divine Beast Origin floating in the void. "
Mu Chen widened his mouth and bitterly smiled.
He never thought that they would need such a peculiar method to find the Divine Beast Origin. Fortunately, they had someone to lead them. Otherwise, anyone who recklessly charged in would probably wither and die in the void.
"We must ascend this boulder, or we can only wait for the next one. It will take about half a day for the next one to appear, and if we're unlucky, it might not even appear for a day or two." Jiu You solemnly reminded.
Mu Chen's heart trembled as he swiftly nodded his head. In a day or two, the Spiritual Energy in his body would be almost completely disintegrated. At that time, if there were any unforeseen events, they might really be in danger of dying here.
As they spoke, the giant rock had already whistled through the air and passed by Mu Chen and the others at an extremely fast speed. At this moment, the four of them suddenly shot out and landed firmly on the giant rock. Spiritual Energy surged as they nailed their bodies onto the rock.
Whoosh!
The huge rock merely trembled before it streaked across the dark void at an even faster speed, heading straight for the distance.
After landing on the boulder, Mu Chen realised that the boulder seemed to be emitting a peculiar forcefield. That forcefield had obstructed the disintegration energy in this void.
Facing this scene, Mu Chen could only inwardly praise before he looked at Jiu You's group and was stunned. That's because when Jiu You's group of three landed in this place, they had swiftly spread out and searched the ground.
Mu Chen was baffled by the actions of the three of them, but he did not disturb them. A brief moment later, Mo Ling, who was not far away, suddenly cheered. She clenched her hand and a crimson lustre flew out from the ground and fell into Mo Ling's hand.
On the other hand, Jiu You and Mo Feng returned empty-handed.
"What is this?" Looking at Mo Ling, who had returned in joy, Mu Chen couldn't help asking.
Mo Ling chuckled as she opened her hand and a crimson lustre spread out. Within the crimson lustre, there was a fist-sized soil. However, the soil was crimson in colour, as if it had been dyed with blood. Vaguely, there was a dense stench of blood spreading out. When Mu Chen smelled that stench, he instantly felt the Qi and blood in his body boiling. An indescribable feeling rose in his heart, making him have the urge to devour that crimson mud.
"This is the Spiritual Blood Mud. Legend has it that in the ancient times, the supreme beings in the Divine Beast Origin had sensed the plan of the Fiend Clan. When the destruction arrived, they had self-destructed their bodies in an attempt to stop it. This so-called Spiritual Blood Mud contains a trace of the essence of the flesh and blood of those supreme beings. This Spiritual Blood Mud can be devoured, and it will greatly benefit the body. In the outside world, if there are experts proficient in alchemy, they can use this Spiritual Blood Mud to refine the Spiritual Blood Pill, which can allow one's body to be reborn." Jiu You explained when he saw Mu Chen's dazed expression.
Hearing his explanation, Mu Chen finally understood.
Mo Ling held onto the Spiritual Blood Mud and split it into four. After handing one to Mo Feng, she handed the other two to Mu Chen and Jiu You.
"Thank you, little Ling 'er." Jiu You lightly smiled, but he did not refuse Mo Ling's good intentions.
After all, Mu Chen and Mo Ling weren't familiar with each other, so he was a little embarrassed at this moment. However, he did not reject it. When he received it, his impression of the girl before him had also increased.
Mu Chen received the Spiritual Blood Mud. Because it was split into four, it was only the size of a thumb. Learning from Jiu You and the rest, Mu Chen rubbed his finger and turned the Spiritual Blood Mud into a pellet before throwing it into his mouth.
Boom!
When the Blood Paste Pill entered his mouth, Mu Chen immediately sensed a surge of blood and aura exploding out. An extremely scalding heat rolled down and instantly melted his entire body. The scalding feeling caused a smear of red light to appear on Mu Chen's face.
The scorching heat lasted for a few minutes, before an indescribable comfort spread throughout Mu Chen's body, causing him to involuntarily let out a breath.
When the heat dissipated, Mu Chen recovered from the shock and immediately sensed his body. His face was a little pale, since he could sense that his physique seemed to have grown a little stronger at this moment.
Although it wasn't particularly obvious, Mu Chen knew that ever since he cultivated the Dragon-Phoenix Physique, it had been a long time since his physique had grown stronger.
Even if he had constantly refined his physique with Spiritual Energy, the feeling of strengthening wasn't obvious. After all, the cultivation of the physique would become more difficult as it progressed. But right now … after consuming the Spiritual Blood Mud, Mu Chen felt that his physique, which had not shown any signs of strengthening for a long time, had once again shown signs of strengthening. So how could he not be shocked?
The Spiritual Blood Mud was simply a divine item for the physique!
Standing by the side, when Jiu You saw the shock on Mu Chen's face, he smiled. "You must know that the Spiritual Blood Mud that you have consumed earlier is worth at least a hundred thousand drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid outside. Furthermore, it's a priceless item."
Mo Feng cast a glance at Mu Chen and indifferently said, "The Spiritual Blood Mud is one of the items that we are looking for in the Divine Beast Origin. But it's hard to come by even in this place. Furthermore, it's not large in size. Ling-er was lucky earlier. Otherwise, how could the four of us split it equally?"
Mu Chen nodded his head as he expressed his gratitude towards Mo Ling. He couldn't help licking his lips and felt a little covetous for the Spiritual Blood Mud in his heart. If he could obtain more Spiritual Blood Mud, then perhaps his physique would be greatly strengthened. It would be a great help for him to break through to the second level of the Dragon-Phoenix Physique.
"When we get closer to the Divine Beast Origin, there will be even larger meteorites than us. If we're lucky, we might be able to obtain some Spiritual Blood Mud." Jiu You said, as if he knew the covetous feeling in Mu Chen's heart.
As he spoke, Jiu You, Mo Feng and Mo Ling sat down and no longer spoke. They allowed the huge rock to carry them through the darkness and swiftly flew towards the depths of the darkness.
Mu Chen had also sat down by the side and did not speak to break the silence. His eyes flickered with light as he looked into the distance, waiting for the appearance of another meteorite.
At this moment, after experiencing the benefits of the Divine Beast Origin, Mu Chen had even more expectations for this operation.
Before they even arrived at the Divine Beast Origin, they already had a treasure like the Spiritual Blood Mud. He wondered what kind of treasure they would obtain when they arrived at their destination.
Thinking about it, Mu Chen couldn't help looking forward to it even more.
(Done ~ Done ~)
Let's play for a while and go to sleep. Furthermore, what's everyone's level now?
I'm already over Level 20.
Haha, if you're interested in games, you can search for the Great Ruler on your phone.
