1124: Chapter 1122: The Crystal of Blood and Qi!
Lin Bai crawled through the crevices of the coffin, where everything was pitch-black, but as soon as he stepped inside, a series of runes suddenly lit up on both sides of the coffin, illuminating its interior!
“Are these characters written here?”
Lin Bai, curious, examined the runes inside the coffin closely as he slowly approached.
“They’re not characters, they’re paintings.”
Upon closer inspection, Lin Bai realized that these intricate lines were not characters at all, but a series of paintings!
“The first painting!”
On the first painting, Lin Bai saw a vast expanse of land under the sky, where suddenly a huge hole tore open, and an enormous giant was falling from the sky!
“Is this the corpse that fell from beyond the heavens, the one mentioned in the tales passed down from the Miracle Ridge?”
“I also saw this in Li Ze’s journal before, saying that the monster that destroyed the Red Immortal Sect and the corpse that fell from beyond are related!”
After looking for a while, Lin Bai continued to move forward.
Soon enough, Lin Bai saw the second painting.
In the second painting, the giant’s corpse fell upon the earth, gradually covered by yellow soil, forming a mountain range…
“This must be the origin of the Miracle Ridge.”
After glancing at the second painting, Lin Bai recalled the legend of the Miracle Ridge—it stated that a giant’s corpse fell from beyond the heavens, forming an insurmountable range of mountains that divided the Territory of all Nations in two.
Lin Bai continued onwards to the third painting.
In the third painting, a group of warriors surrounded the Miracle Ridge.
These warriors were Artifact Refiners and Array Masters; they converged to craft a coffin with Heaven-reaching means.
The coffin was empty, but it contained a nameless power that could extract the blood and energy from the buried divine corpse within the mountain range, forming Blood Energy Crystals inside the coffin.
The warriors who obtained these crystals could use them to enhance their cultivation.
“So this coffin was made to extract the Blood Energy Crystals from the divine corpse!” uttered Lin Bai in sudden realization.
“Blood Crystals, I wonder if there are any left in this coffin now?”
Lin Bai continued down only to find these three paintings, but no fourth.
“No more?” After searching for a while and finding no other frescoes, Lin Bai retracted his attention, “Well, since there are no more paintings, it is explained that this coffin was made to extract Blood Crystals from the divine corpse…”
“I wonder if there are still Blood Crystals inside this coffin now?”
Lin Bai’s movement technique flashed.
He rushed forward at great speed, becoming a Waning Shadow flickering rapidly within the coffin, pushing forward in the huge space inside the coffin, searching.
The coffin was empty, the only thing likely to appear being Blood Crystals.
But after searching for a long time, Lin Bai found no trace of any Blood Crystals!
Suddenly, at that moment!
Lin Bai spotted a fist-sized blood-red crystal floating in midair ahead of him.
His face lit up with joy as he dashed over and grasped the Blood Crystal in his hand, exclaiming excitedly, “Is this a Blood Crystal from the divine corpse?
It indeed contains a tremendous force of vitality!”
“Unfortunately, this Blood Crystal has formed who knows how many years ago, and it has already begun to show signs of dissipation!”
“But for me right now, it is still a stroke of good fortune!”
Lin Bai held the Blood Crystal, activating the Devouring Sword Spirit!
The Blood Crystal immediately dissolved in Lin Bai’s hand, transforming into a thick torrent of vital energy that poured into his Dantian.
As the power of the Blood Crystal merged into his body, Lin Bai felt like the Blood Crystal itself was a Blood Dragon, rampaging within him!
“Such an abundant force of vitality!”
Lin Bai said in utter astonishment.
When the power of the Blood Crystal entered his body, he immediately felt his state of cultivation begin to loosen.
To think, Lin Bai had just broken through to the Early Stage of the Sixth Layer of the Heavenly Elixir Realm only a few days ago, and now it was already showing signs of progress.
If others knew of this, they would think of Lin Bai as a monster!
“Continue the search!”
“This power of the Blood Crystal might even be more precious than demon blood after devouring Long Hui’s!”
Lin Bai’s face lit up with joy as he continued to dart through the coffin.
“Huh?
This Blood Crystal seems to be a bit larger than the ones I found before…”
As Lin Bai advanced, he found another Blood Crystal and upon closer inspection, was surprised to discover that it was the size of two fists, twice as large as the Blood Crystal he had previously found!
“Could it be that the Blood Crystals formed from the extraction of essence blood from a divine corpse vary in size based on the strength of the blood essence…?”
“So, would that mean the larger the size of the Blood Crystal, the more abundant the power contained within its blood essence?”
Lin Bai immediately understood the principle and a cold smile appeared on his lips.
“Found another one.”
Lin Bai’s gaze was sharp as lightning as he looked ahead to the empty space where a Blood Crystal floated in the air.
His face brightened, and he immediately employed his movement technique to rush toward it.
Just at this moment, at the other end, a young man whose speed was almost as fast as Lin Bai’s also rushed forward simultaneously!
Both men were heading straight for the Blood Crystal!
Quickly!
The two of them met in front of the Blood Crystal!
“Sang Shuo?” Lin Bai focused his eyes and realized that the young man who had suddenly appeared was Sang Shuo.
Previously, in the Eighth Stage, when Sang Shuo took out the Extreme Martial Spiritual Weapon Restriction Banner, he had made a deep impression on Lin Bai.
“It’s you!
That opportunistic kid.
If it weren’t for you shattering the cauldron, the Divine Elixir would have been mine!” Sang Shuo said to Lin Bai with a cold voice!
Immediately, Sang Shuo’s face turned cold as he pulled out a banner from his Storage Bag!
The banner unfurled, and from it, nine chains made from prohibitions flew out, attacking Lin Bai!
“Not good!”
Lin Bai quickly dodged and retreated, but the nine prohibition chains followed him like lightning!
“Do you insist on causing trouble for me?” Lin Bai said with a cold voice.
“A mere ant at the Sixth Layer of the Heavenly Elixir Realm dying under my Extreme Martial Spiritual Artifact should consider it a great fortune.
Go in peace,” Sang Shuo huffed coldly, his eyes filled with contempt.
It was as if killing Lin Bai was the same as crushing an ant, not worthy of Sang Shuo’s concern!
“Your prohibition?
Heh!
It’s like nothing before me!”
Lin Bai laughed coldly.
Since Sang Shuo had no intention of sparing him, Lin Bai wouldn’t hold back either!
“Martial Soul Secret Skill!
Breaking Prohibition!”
With the Qingge Sword in his hand, Lin Bai unleashed it with a flash, and a dark brilliance converged, fiercely striking the nine prohibition chains in mid-air.
With a loud “bang,” the chains exploded right in front of Lin Bai!
“How is this possible!”
“You actually shattered my prohibition chains?”
Sang Shuo looked at Lin Bai in disbelief!
“Just a warrior at the Ninth Layer of the Heavenly Elixir Realm, what’s so invincible about that!”
“I might not be able to win against someone at the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Elixir Realm, but can’t I defeat you, a warrior at the Ninth Layer of the Heavenly Elixir Realm?”
A cold murderous intent flashed in Lin Bai’s eyes!
In the past few months, Lin Bai had been chased and wanted dead by Long Hui, Fu Yuan, Ke Han, and others, his heart already brimming with rage!
Long Hui and Ke Han were both at Great Perfection of the Heavenly Elixir Realm, which Lin Bai couldn’t provoke for the time being.
But Sang Shuo was merely at the Ninth Layer of the Heavenly Elixir Realm and as an Array Master not skilled in combat, what was there for Lin Bai to fear?
