Chapter 183: Successful Refinement of the Life Soul Artifact

Just as Zhou Chu was secretly grumbling in his heart, the scene around him changed once again.

He saw those transparent light orbs, large and small, bursting one after another like bubbles; everything from just a moment ago was like an ethereal, illusory dream, vanishing into thin air in an instant.

As these light orbs continued to burst, the original appearance of the God-Fallen Land was finally revealed.

Very quickly, what unfolded before Zhou Chu's eyes was a barren land that exuded an ancient aura.

The ground was cracked and dry, with massive fissures spreading in all directions like the mouths of hideous giant beasts.

The sky was filled with thick gray mist, and occasionally, a few streaks of eerie purple lightning would tear through the mist, illuminating this land filled with deathly silence.

In the distance, a towering black castle stood amidst this desolation.

At the top of the castle, a tattered flag snapped in the wind; the pattern on the flag was already blurred, but one could vaguely discern it to be some kind of extremely ancient emblem.

Zhou Chu realized that the dreamlike scenes he had seen before were perhaps merely illusions constructed by the overlapping Spirit Barriers within the God-Fallen Land, used to confuse intruders.

And because Zhou Chu was unaffected by Mental Spells, he had broken through these Spirit Barriers, allowing the original landscape to shed its disguise and reveal the appearance the God-Fallen Land was meant to have.

Barren, desolate.

Just like the Iron Wasteland he had visited before, aside from ancient and decaying buildings, there was nothing to see but broken walls and ruins everywhere.

It was as if the land had been baptized by a terrible war and endured the ruthless erosion of time, causing it to lose its original vitality and vigor.

It was not hard to imagine that the God-Fallen Land must have once been an incomparably prosperous and magnificent place, where numerous gods gathered to look down upon the vast world of living beings.

Gods could only be considered legends in this world, but when Zhou Chu personally arrived at the God-Fallen Land, he realized profoundly that gods had indeed existed here.

The reason people did not know of the existence of gods was that no one had truly seen the God-Fallen Land in its original state.

Those fortunate enough to enter the God-Fallen Land were absolutely one-in-ten-thousand elites of the human world, but because they could not break through the obstruction of the Spirit Barriers, not only were their memories wiped by soul energy, but most could only return empty-handed.

In the end, they could only treat their entry into the God-Fallen Land as a talking point to boast about in front of others.

And Jiang Chen being able to obtain the inheritance of Star Power in the God-Fallen Land could be considered a one-in-ten-thousand exception.

Zhou Chu hovered in the air, looking down from behind; the Star Bridge still existed, but that Star Lake was no longer there.

At this moment, spanning beneath the Star Bridge was actually an unfathomable black Abyss.

The Abyss was filled with a dense Dark Aura, and it opened its bloody maw as if to swallow everything here.

Occasionally, a few wisps of eerie purple mist rose from the Abyss, intertwining with the thick gray mist in the sky, adding even more mystery and terror.

It seemed that Jiang Chen hadn't even been able to cross the Star Bridge back then, so obtaining the star inheritance could only be considered luck.

Zhou Chu couldn't help but wonder if he could also obtain some inheritance to awaken his God-level Soul Profession once again.

To find the answer, he transformed into a bat and began to fly toward the castle.

Seemingly sensing the intrusion of an outsider, large swarms of crows flew out from the windows and holes of all sizes on the castle.

These crows were huge, as long as an adult man's arm, with feathers as black as ink, shimmering with an eerie, dark light.

Their eyes were blood-red, exuding a thick, fierce aura, and they swarmed toward Zhou Chu, covering the sky like a black cloud, instantly obscuring the sky above Zhou Chu's head.

This large flock of crows seemed to form a formation automatically, immediately surrounding Zhou Chu and sealing him in an airtight iron barrel from all directions.

Zhou Chu was surrounded by the overwhelming flock of crows, and the noisy cawing made his eardrums ache.

He quickly transformed back into human form and continuously stacked Soul Shields on himself, then released the Lord of Ghostly Poison from the Emperor Tomb.

The moment Gannasi was summoned, his figure immediately transformed into a black-green giant dragon dozens of meters in size.

His pale purple dragon eyes erupted with a violent aura, and he opened his mouth full of fangs, letting out an earth-shattering roar.

Immediately after, the white venom in his mouth surged toward the flock of crows like a volcanic eruption.

Any crow touched by the venom was instantly corroded until not even a scrap remained, finally turning into wisps of white smoke.

But these crows did not turn into experience; instead, they made the Soul Points of Zhou Chu's Life Soul Artifact soar.

This also made Zhou Chu feel a surge of joy in his heart.

In the three months, the Life Soul Artifact had not been able to accumulate enough Soul Points to be refined, which had always been a major difficulty facing Zhou Chu.

He had heard that the Life Soul Artifact was difficult to refine, but he hadn't expected it to be truly this difficult.

Relying solely on the Undying Curse to obtain Soul Points was simply too slow.

If he had known earlier that he could obtain Soul Points in the God-Fallen Land, he wouldn't have had to go to such trouble.

In less than two seconds, the Soul Points required for the Life Soul Artifact's refinement had already overflowed.
