Chapter 459: Blood of the Ancient God

The first contracted Pet Beast is in a state of suspended animation and is completely unable to provide Yu Yaonu with any increase in combat power.

This Pet Beast has also caused Yu Yaonu to have insufficient mental power, leaving her unable to contract a second one for a long time.

Seeing this, Liu Fang naturally still hopes that Yu Yaonu will abandon the first contracted Pet Beast.

Only in this way will Yu Yaonu have the qualifications to become stronger.

Otherwise, Yu Yaonu will be implicated by that Pet Beast and will remain stuck like this for the rest of her life.

Yu Yaonu frowned, and only after a long while did she speak: "I will try again."

She is unwilling to give up and still feels that there is room for maneuver.

Seeing this, Liu Fang felt deep regret.

She has advised Yu Yaonu many times, but unfortunately, Yu Yaonu never listens to her.

Regarding this matter, she also finds it difficult to say anything more.

Of course, Liu Fang is actually somewhat secretly pleased that Yu Yaonu did not change her Pet Beast.

However, Liu Fang also feels some guilt for this secret pleasure of hers.

"The time is still early, let's go hunt some more Zhu Lu!" Liu Fang said excitedly.

Hunting Zhu Lu to obtain Life Cores is a form of improvement for her.

The two continued their journey of hunting Zhu Lu.

Because it was their first time entering the Trial Ground, neither of them went deep, staying only on the outskirts.

The Zhu Lu they encountered were all the weaker ones that were alone.

Both of them had also accumulated some contribution points.

Among them, Yu Yaonu had only seven points, while Liu Fang had thirty-six, which is more than five times that of Yu Yaonu.

"Once I reach one hundred points, I will be qualified to open the Ordinary functions of the bracelet!" Liu Fang was very excited.

Currently, Liu Fang can only use the bracelet for communication, and it is limited to the Nanhuang Realm.

Once she reaches one hundred contribution points, some functional areas of the bracelet will be opened.

First of all, she will be able to use contribution points to exchange for materials, treasures, cultivation techniques, and even cultivation experience.

It is said that when contribution points reach a certain level, one can even apply to leave the Nanhuang Realm and become a member of the Imperial Palace.

Liu Fang was naturally overjoyed about opening the bracelet's functional areas.

However, when she saw Yu Yaonu, she quickly hid the joy in her eyes.

She knew that without a Pet Beast to help Slay fierce beasts, it would be very difficult for Yu Yaonu to obtain many contribution points relying only on those treasures.

"Liu Fang, let's separate." At this moment, Yu Yaonu proposed her suggestion, "My treasures are almost used up, and it is difficult for me to Slay Zhu Lu on my own. I need to find a place to hide."

"There is still plenty of time left, you are different; you can still Slay many Zhu Lu, and I don't want to implicate you."

Yu Yaonu was uncharacteristically talkative.

"But... you will be in great danger this way, you should still stay with me." Liu Fang could not bear it.

"Liu Fang, don't worry, I'll be fine." Yu Yaonu said again.

Liu Fang finally said: "Then you take care of yourself."

Watching Liu Fang leave, Yu Yaonu used the remaining material on herself: Invisibility Scale Powder.

Sprinkling the scale powder on her body, Yu Yaonu hid in a safe place, slowly waiting for time to pass before leaving the Trial Ground.

At this moment, Liu Fang's words were still surfacing in her mind.

After her mental power contracted the first Pet Beast, it became somewhat insufficient, so she could not contract a second one.

Therefore, if she does not solve the problem of the first Pet Beast, she might... be an Ordinary person for the rest of her life.

Yu Yaonu fell into endless inner conflict.

"You... when will you wake up?"

Yu Yaonu let out a long sigh.

She wants to become stronger; only in this way can she take revenge!

However, she always feels that the unknown Pet Beast in her body might be related to her dreams of so many years, and it might also be the key to her stepping onto the Imperial Heaven Staircase.

Unfortunately, her consciousness was blurred at the time, and she did not have many memories at all.

She also does not know how she stepped onto the Imperial Heaven Staircase and arrived at the Qingtian Domain and the Nanhuang Realm.

In her mind, the ethereal figure from her dreams emerged.

"Is it real, or is it a fantasy?"

She dared not be certain.

However, just at this moment, suddenly, a huge vibration sound came.

It was as if the entire Trial Ground was experiencing an earthquake.

Yu Yaonu's cold eyes furrowed slightly.

Has something happened to the entire Trial Ground?

She looked up at the sky, and her expression finally changed.

She saw a touch of red appearing above the Heavenly Vault.

The red was as bewitching as blood, stretching out dense tentacles as if it wanted to tear the Heavenly Vault apart and stuff it into its mouth.

In an instant, Yu Yaonu recognized what that red was!

Red Pupil!

This blood-red hue is Red Pupil!

The descent of Red Pupil into the Trial Ground is enough to shock all the students.

"Red Pupil!"

"This is bad!"

"What is going on? How could there possibly be a Red Pupil in our Nanhuang Realm!"

The arrival of a Red Pupil means the pressure facing this world has increased sharply.

Under the blood-red light of the Red Pupil, the strength of all fierce beasts will surge.

The emotions of these fierce beasts will also become frenzied, leading to wanton slaughter.

If that happens, it is very likely that the fierce beasts in the Trial Ground will break out, which is a huge threat to the entire world!

After all, the fierce beasts in the Zhu Deer Trial Ground are weak, so the defensive forces are not strong.

Once the strength of the fierce beasts inside surges, and reinforcements cannot arrive in a short time, the fierce beasts from the Zhu Deer Trial Ground breaking into Raven City will cause huge losses!

Most importantly, once the tentacles of the Red Pupil truly enter the Nanhuang Realm along with the Trial Ground, then... if they are not cleared away in time.

The Nanhuang Realm... might even become the next Lost Zone!

Therefore, facing the abrupt appearance of the Red Pupil, all the Beast Masters present felt the severity of the situation.

There was even a sense of the apocalypse descending.

Yu Yaonu looked at the Red Pupil, her inner emotions complex; she also realized the severity of the situation.

It is dangerous here; she must leave quickly.

With her current strength, she simply cannot deal with the fierce beasts here that have been contaminated by the Red Pupil.

However, just as Yu Yaonu prepared to leave, a strong sense of hunger washed over her.

She revealed a look of astonishment.

She suddenly looked up at the sky; the Red Pupil, which had looked terrifying, became delicious in her eyes.

She did not know why this was happening.

The next moment, a flash of white light streaked by.

In Yu Yaonu's gaze, she saw the Red Pupil on the Heavenly Vault instantly shatter, then turn into a ball in an instant, and then... completely dissipate.

Yu Yaonu even felt that the Red Pupil seemed to have consciousness, and it appeared very afraid when facing that white light.

That terrifying Red Pupil... turned into white light in an instant.

It was as if just now... it had only been an illusion.

Those frenzied fierce beasts also turned into ashes in an instant.

The entire Zhu Deer Trial Ground became empty.

Yu Yaonu was stunned.

She recalled that white light; it seemed to have come from her own body, and yet... it also seemed not to.

What exactly was going on?

At this moment, a thick sense of Dizziness suddenly struck.

Yu Yaonu could not stand steadily; she felt her body undergo a huge change, and a heavy sense of weightlessness suddenly struck.

The scene before her eyes changed abruptly.

Where is this?

Yu Yaonu discovered that the place she was in was no longer the Zhu Deer Trial Ground from just a moment ago, but... a dilapidated... Trial Ground?

"A newcomer has arrived?" Just then, a hoarse voice came over.

Yu Yaonu was inwardly vigilant and looked at the five people not far away.

The five consisted of three men and two women, all wearing black robes, with a patch of floating clouds blocking their faces, making it impossible to see their features.

Only then did Yu Yaonu discover that she was dressed just like them, also in a black robe, with a patch of mist blocking her face.

She looked at the five people without speaking.

She still did not know what had happened.

"My name is Jiugui, and I am currently the leader of our group.

Since you were able to enter here, you should know our goal.

Do not have any other thoughts; the five of us have already been here for over a year.

You only need to follow my instructions to accomplish great things." Jiugui's voice was hoarse, and his gaze toward Yu Yaonu carried vigilance.

Those who can enter this Trial Ground are at least King-level Beast Masters.

They all came here with ulterior motives.

Since they could enter here, their purpose naturally goes without saying.

The other four also introduced themselves one after another.

"Gulang."

"Wu Fu."

"Doctor."

"Empress."

Through their expressions, Yu Yaonu also simply understood and inferred their personalities.

Jiugui is the leader of the group; although named Jiugui, his thoughts are agile and he acts with discretion.

Gulang has a solitary personality and a gloomy mind.

Wu Fu looks carefree, though this is only on the surface.

The Doctor looks very delicate; although wearing a black robe and having a hoarse voice, she is still pitiable.

As for the Empress, she constantly exudes a sense of sorrow, looking like someone with a story.

"Liuli."

Yu Yaonu spoke, her voice also becoming hoarse through the mist.

Even the person closest to her would not be able to recognize this as her voice.

Originally, she wanted to take the codename "Butterfly," as Yaonu is for butterfly, and the butterfly also represents her bloodline.

However, this carried a slight possibility of exposing herself.

Jiugui glanced at Yu Yaonu: "Since everyone's goal is the same, then let's go together.

Liuli, everything must go according to my arrangements, otherwise..."

There was a threat in Jiugui's words.

The martial artist laughed upon seeing this: "Jiugui, you have no chivalry at all; how can you scare a young lady like that?"

Jiugui let out a cold snort.

After the five people present finished speaking, they quickly walked inside under Jiugui's lead.

Yu Yaonu did not speak, and seeing this, she had no choice but to follow.

After all, she did not know how to leave either.

At this moment, it was better to leave.

At this time, as the five people on the scene walked, they occasionally conversed, which also allowed Yu Yaonu to roughly understand the group's objective.

This group of people!

They were daring enough to defy the heavens!

They actually set their target on the... Ancient God Spirit of the Trial Ground!

Yu Yaonu had once heard Yu Aunt say that every Trial Ground is actually a small world.

This kind of small world is even smaller than a Single World.

Within such small worlds, there is always a "sleeping" Ancient God Spirit.

Or rather... an Ancient God Spirit that has already fallen.

Before the Ancient God died, they were incomparably powerful, but after falling, they became the "Heavenly Dao" of the Trial Ground.

The Ancient God Spirit has no consciousness of its own and is the foundation that maintains the operation of the Trial Ground.

If the Ancient God Spirit collapses, the entire Trial Ground will also become a wasteland.

This group of people actually set their target on the Ancient God Spirit!

Even if it is an Ancient God that has already fallen.

This still made Yu Yaonu smell the scent of danger.

"This Ancient God Spirit is named Cang Mou and has long since fallen.

Our plan is for the Cang Mou Blood.

Although the god has been fallen for many years, its blood is still a Supreme Treasure.

If one could drink it deeply..." Jiugui's voice became frantic.

"If you drink it deeply, you will die," the doctor said in a cold voice.

"Therefore, I must trouble the doctor to help us refine the god blood into a treasure." Jiugui did not care about the doctor's sarcasm.

The doctor did not speak again.

The group walked across the desolate land.

The martial artist's breathing also became increasingly rapid, clearly filled with an intense craving for the god blood.

"Today is the Moon Tide, which is also the day this Trial Ground is at its weakest, so we can pass through the Imprison and see the Ancient God Spirit.

But we only have half an hour, so everyone must not fall behind!" Jiugui said, specifically glancing at Yu Yaonu.

Those who could come here were at least King-level Beast Masters.

And this Trial Ground possessed terrifying pressure and unique characteristics.

Therefore, everyone was bearing immense pressure.

Yu Yaonu looked quite relaxed while walking, and Jiugui guessed that Yu Yaonu's strength was extremely high.

Coupled with the fact that there was not much time left.

That was why he did not fight Yu Yaonu, but instead joined forces to explore the Ancient God Spirit and obtain the Ancient God blood.

The group passed through a sea of blood and a desert, finally arriving at an altar.

On the altar were seventeen sculptures of ferocious beasts with savage expressions; the sculptures were lifelike, and what attracted the most attention was that their eyes were completely white, with no black pupils.

Hollow and illusory.

And on the massive altar, one could see thick, pitch-black, mottled chains, emitting an aura of despair and slaughter.

"I wonder what kind of powerhouse it was that Imprison these Ancient God Spirits.

Even after death, they must endure the suffering of imprisonment," the martial artist could not help but sigh.

Jiugui sneered: "If they weren't Imprison, even though the Ancient God is dead, the death energy emitted by its corpse would instantly turn a ten-thousand-mile area into a dead zone, and both you and I would die."

The few people present looked solemn; what Jiugui said was the truth.

Once, there was an extremely powerful Beast Master who coveted the chains trapping an Ancient God, wanting to refine them into a Supreme Treasure.

As a result, the Ancient God's corpse broke free, directly causing the destruction of a nation.

Later, the Three Palaces issued a joint order: the treasures that Imprison the Ancient Gods must not be touched; those who touch them will be executed.

These chains actually all bore the marks of the Three Palaces.

If they dared to touch them, the powerhouses of the Three Palaces would instantly sense it and kill them across worlds.

"Time is urgent, hurry and obtain the god blood!"

After Jiugui finished speaking, he placed a pile of materials on the altar.

The method for obtaining Ancient God blood is very difficult, and for different Ancient God Spirits, the methods to obtain the god blood are also different.

Jiugui had only obtained this method through special channels.

Dozens of sacrificial offerings were laid out, and Jiugui and the others chanted the sacrificial rites.

At this moment, the pitch-black chains moved.

Creak.

Creak.

The sound seemed to come from hell, just like a devil covered in holes crawling up from a deep well.

On the altar, an obscure, bloody aura continuously spread.

A shriveled, enormous white pupil appeared in everyone's line of sight.

Ten chains cruelly pierced through the white pupil.

Sorrowful, desperate, frenzied.

"Damn it, who is so wicked to have drained all the god blood!" Jiugui looked at the shriveled white pupil, an expression of anger appearing in his eyes.

Inside this Ancient God Spirit, there was unexpectedly no god blood left.

The others present did not look very good either.

They had already overstepped by entering this place, risking becoming wanted criminals of the Three Palaces to come here, so how could they not be angry at having no harvest at all.

"Sigh, it seems the god blood is not meant for us." The doctor was also somewhat disappointed.

The Empress took a deep look at the Pale-Eyed Ancient God, her gaze filled with lament.

However, just at this moment, the enormous white pupil... rotated!

The god seemed to have come back to life.

Frenzied, chaotic, oppressive, angry.

The people present were horrified.

How is this possible!

How could an Ancient God survive!

This Ancient God, suppressed for ten thousand, hundreds of thousands of years... had survived.

"Hungry..."
