293: Pendant!

Ye Su was not someone to be trifled with.

He could see right through the other party's attempt to shift the trouble onto him.

“You want to use me as a shield?”

“You must have a death wish!”

After saying that,

He immediately surged forward, giving direct chase.

Moreover, he was very reckless.

The giant blood wolf can bite my ass, but you must die!

The man looked back.

His scalp instantly went numb.

This...

You're a freaking lunatic, aren't you!

“Brother, cooperation, cooperation! Let's kill the giant blood wolf together!”

He shouted.

He held onto the hope that Ye Su might not know the information that the giant blood wolf was unkillable.

However,

Ye Su wasn't moved in the slightest.

It perfectly embodied the saying: Whether I die or not doesn't matter, but you definitely have to die!

Bang!

The two were instantly locked in combat.

At that same moment,

The man's heart went cold.

He couldn't win, he simply couldn't win.

The opponent's Martial Arts seemed ordinary enough.

But the damage was so high, high to a degree that he couldn't resist.

“Die for me!”

Ye Su shouted.

This was pure pressure.

There wasn't much technicality here, only the explosive force of a complete crushing defeat.

The equipment had already been fully activated.

It was almost capable of carrying Ye Su's most extreme burst of power.

The saber technique evolved from the level five Ape Fist, plus the bonus from Transcendence, resulted in 35 points of heavens will intensity.

Fight?

How could you even fight?

This was already at the level of the first tier!

The man could never have imagined that someone with Ye Su's strength would actually risk entering the Blood Qi Long Song Grand Canyon.

After all, it was a forbidden land.

It wasn't as if one could find a divine blood heavenly stone just by wanting to.

What if one was wiped out by the terrain's Soul attacks?

People of the first tier were unwilling to take such risks.

After all, no one focused much on Soul defense; they'd just settle for getting it above 25 points and call it a day.

Therefore,

Most of those exploring this forbidden land were people from the second tier.

Relying on the cyclic fluctuations, they would go down to look during the safe periods and come back up during the dangerous periods.

Puchi!

The man's body twisted in a bizarre way, and Ye Su's saber strike actually failed to take off his head.

‘It's the power of the equipment.’

‘As expected, as the power of the Ascenders I encounter increases, their gear gets better too.’

The second tier was basically already outfitted with equipment.

After all, anyone who could reach this level of strength could afford it somehow.

But,

Even equipment couldn't change this gap.

“Stop, spare my life! I have information, I know where a divine blood heavenly stone is!”

The man hurriedly shouted at the top of his lungs.

Gong Li was tempted.

But the saber in Ye Su's hand didn't pause for a second.

Amidst his look of utter disbelief, his head was severed by Ye Su.

“Ye Su... you... this...”

“You'd actually believe that?”

Gong Li was stunned.

Damn.

Right, could that even be believed?

Sure enough, after staying with a pure-hearted person like Ye Su for so long,

He had become pure-hearted himself.

If that guy really had the whereabouts of a divine blood heavenly stone,

He wouldn't have come down to explore at all, let alone risk his life to get it.

He would have just sold the information.

There were plenty of people in the Great Clans who would buy it.

Furthermore, under the value system of the Universe, people were very particular about their reputation.

I can kill you, that's fine.

But break a contract? Impossible!

I kill you because you are weak; the strong prey on the weak, that is the rule.

Breaking a contract? That would mean my reputation would be damaged, and no business would come my way in the future.

The Great Clans could certainly distinguish which of the two was more important.

Gong Li, in his Soul state, scratched his head.

He had been too concerned and lost his judgment.

However, he quickly put the matter out of his mind.

Because,

The giant blood wolf had truly started biting Ye Su's ass.

“Damn!”

“Good thing the equipment blocked it for a bit.”

Ye Su jumped up directly.

The strength or weakness of Blood Creatures was determined by their size.

This fellow's size didn't look particularly large.

That's why Ye Su had dared to ignore it and kill the man first.

But with this bite, the sensation transmitted through the equipment made Ye Su's heart stir.

This thing's attack power—it's a bit underwhelming.

“Counterattack, counterattack! Ye Su, have you gone stupid?”

Seeing the giant blood wolf rush up again while Ye Su remained motionless, Gong Li shouted anxiously.

But little did he expect,

Ye Su still didn't move, allowing the giant blood wolf to hang onto his body.

“Blood... it can't stay hard, huh.”

Ye Su grinned.

What a ridiculous setting.

The teeth in this giant wolf's mouth were also formed from blood, and though they looked sharp and cold, they turned soft the moment they bit into the equipment.

“This thing just looks terrifying and has an intimidating Aura.”

Ye Su said.

Well, plus the attribute of being unkillable, which was why Ye Su had been so cautious at first.

Once he actually faced it, he found that this thing had weaknesses too.

“Let's go, let's go! Back to prying out sacred blood stones!”

Ye Su said.

Once Gong Li came to his senses, he once again helped Ye Su locate the various sacred blood stones.

And so,

With a whimpering giant blood wolf hanging off him like this, Ye Su focused all his attention on prying out the sacred blood stones.

---“ancient heavenly will is right before our eyes!”

Ghost Cry was still agonizing over it.

The Ghost Clan members who had successfully ascended had spoken very clearly outside.

They had all felt the Aura of the ancient heavenly will.

They just couldn't condense it.

They were just a tiny bit away, no matter what they did.

Reviewing the situation, Ghost Cry discovered a key point.

That was, to obtain the ancient heavenly will, one needed luck.

At the same time, this opened up a new line of thought.

The Ruined World had natives.

Where there were natives, there was timing.

If they could trigger another wave of timing condensation, they might actually be able to get the ancient heavenly will.

So—under Ghost Cry's orders, the Ghost Clan's Ascenders in the Ruined World began searching for natives.

As for some news that came halfway through;

For instance, that the Blood Qi Long Song Grand Canyon might have divine blood heavenly stones... and the like.

Ghost Cry simply set it aside.

Granted, a divine blood heavenly stone was precious.

But these things were extremely cunning.

Sometimes you'd feel a very dense Aura of a heavenly stone, but that was just because a heavenly stone had once been there.

The lingering Aura of a heavenly stone could last for a very long time.

Take the well-known Blood Qi Ancient Mine; any random person could feel the Aura of a divine blood heavenly stone inside.

But over these countless years,

The ancient mine had been overturned again and again.

Who had ever found a divine blood heavenly stone?

They're all freaking liars!

Discovering the Aura of a divine blood heavenly stone in the Ruined World was all too normal.

Ghost Cry didn't want to spare it even a single glance.

heavenly stones...

They lie!

The other Prodigies basically shared this thought.

Everyone was focused on the ancient heavenly will.

After all,

Heavenly will is only hard to defy, but it never lies!

Streaks of light passed over the perimeter of the Blood Qi Long Song Grand Canyon, but no one looked down.

Much less could they know,

That at this moment, there was a fellow with a giant blood wolf hanging off his ass, happily prying out sacred blood stones.

“Three hundred and forty-two in total!”

After prying out all the sacred blood stones, Ye Su said gleefully.

One stone is worth tens of thousands, so that's twenty or thirty million...

Since when was money in the Universe so easy to make?

“Don't get too ahead of yourself.”

Gong Li said;

“The blood qi ahead is even thicker. Maybe the divine blood heavenly stone is over there.”

“Hurry up and take a look.”

“Alright!”

Slapping the giant blood wolf behind his ass into a pool of blood,

Ye Su headed straight for the depths.
