280: Deep in the ruins, a noble realm exists

Boom!

As Tina and the others followed Wood Emperor's figure deeper into the Great Saint Relic, casualties began to appear in other Dao Rhythm Worlds on the other side!

"Ah!"

A strong cultivator, who had entered the Great Saint Relic with Wood Emperor but lacked the protection of the green sapling, was suddenly pierced through the chest by a surge of Dao Rhythm power.

He twitched violently, and then all his power and the Great Dao power within him were extracted by that wisp of Dao Rhythm power.

That's right, cultivators above the Saint Realm also possess Great Dao power, but it is extremely rare and exists within their bodies in a very hidden and imperceptible way.

When he ascends to the Great Saint Realm, the Great Dao power within his body will undergo a qualitative change, manifesting as Dao Rhythm power within his body.

At the same time, it is their most important method of attack!

And when all the Great Dao power and energy aura of that strong cultivator were completely extracted, the wisp of Dao Rhythm power beside him let out a sigh of satisfaction.

Then, with a boom, the strong cultivator's body disintegrated into fragments.

There wasn't even a drop of blood on him; he simply transformed into a pile of ashes that scattered into the air.

"Boom!"

As that wisp of Dao Rhythm power finished absorbing, the same scene began to unfold in various other places.

Not everyone can resist Dao Rhythm power like Shen Mo and Feng Linghuang,

Nor can everyone withstand Dao Rhythm power like Yuan Tianyin, Yuan Feng, and others.

Those who cannot resist Dao Rhythm power are transformed into its strength, absorbed into it, and become nutrients for its improvement.

"Rumble!"

Countless auras swept towards the depths of the Great Saint Relic.

If Shen Mo and Feng Linghuang were here, they would be surprised to find that all the power of those Dao Rhythm powers had been absorbed and extracted, flowing in an unknown direction.

It was as if these Dao Rhythm powers were merely tentacles or branches used by some entity to absorb power!

"Boom!"

——————

As the power assimilated in place, deep within the Great Saint Relic, Wood Emperor's figure, guided by the green sapling, saw a golden skeletal structure shimmering with light, and the Dao Fruit on it.

The Dao Fruit was in the shape of a nine-petal green lotus, slowly rotating gently above the skeletal remains.

Beside these bones was the remains of a Nirvana Phoenix.

As for why it was identified as a Nirvana Phoenix, it was because its surrounding aura and the power of its flames were different from ordinary phoenixes.

Moreover, its lower half had already turned to ash, while its upper half was bathed in raging flames, as if undergoing rebirth.

This was something ordinary phoenixes could not achieve.

Wood Emperor watched, taking a deep breath.

"A Nirvana Phoenix, an existence worthy of being called a Saint Venerable, how could anyone possibly kill it?

No, it should be said—how did it appear in a tomb within a Great Saint Relic?"

As Wood Emperor thought this, Tina and the others, who followed closely behind, also gasped sharply.

Just as Wood Emperor said, such an existence would almost certainly not appear in a tomb within a Great Saint Relic.

Unless—it was taken advantage of by someone else,

Or, this tomb is not a Great Saint Relic at all.

No! This tomb is indeed a Great Saint Relic, there's no mistake!

Tina and the others were very clear about this; they weren't so incompetent as to be unable to distinguish whether it was a Great Saint Relic.

So, thinking about it this way, the outcome was even more terrifying.

This Nirvana Phoenix was severely wounded by someone before the owner of the Great Saint Relic took advantage of it!

Who could severely wound a Nirvana Phoenix?

A Venerable Realm cultivator!

And a powerful one among the Venerable Realm!

As everyone pondered this, on the other side, Shen Mo had already been pulled to a strange place by the little grass on his head.

"You, why did you drag me here?" Shen Mo frowned, looking at the surroundings.

This fellow has been as active as a fake grass since the Great Saint Relic opened!

Oh, it wasn't a real grass to begin with, so never mind.

As Shen Mo thought this, he immediately surveyed the surroundings.

What is this place? Strange.

Shen Mo felt speechless. He glanced around, finding no danger whatsoever.

This isn't scientific!

Logically, these Dao Rhythm Worlds are very dangerous. Could it be that this trial is about refining the heart?

Then I apologize!

Daddy is going to win this time!

Pair of Aces! The opponent definitely can't beat it!

Because Shen Mo's mind and spiritual power had already been tempered by the Great Dao power, there would definitely be no signs of failing a heart-refining trial.

The opponent collapsing on their own is more likely.

And as Shen Mo thought this, the little grass was already chirping excitedly, leading Shen Mo to a massive skeletal structure!

Holy crap?!

So big?!

Shen Mo's eyes were filled with shock, looking at the colossal skeletal remains opposite him, resembling a giant mountain prostrate or a massive beast traveling.

Only a head of the skeleton was in front of Shen Mo.

But its two empty eye sockets, in front of Shen Mo, were like gigantic circular discs.

From afar, they looked even more like two caves embedded in the giant mountain of a skull!

And as Shen Mo was in shock, the little grass was already chirping, pulling him towards the skull.

However, before Shen Mo could get close,

"Roar!"

A massive dragon's roar, as if emanating from the skull's mouth,

And then, a golden giant dragon image emerged from above the skull.

Its figure was already very ethereal; it was clear that it no longer had any power within it, but its voice was still deafening.

Shen Mo was greatly startled; he felt a buzzing in his ears.

As the image of the giant dragon roared, he seemed to have been attacked by something, his entire body suddenly recoiling a step, letting out a muffled groan.

It was just a roar, yet he showed signs of injury.

"So fierce! This is a True Dragon!"

Unlike Pan Long, a weakling.

On the other side, Pan Long was being chased all over the Dao Rhythm World.

Perhaps sensing Shen Mo's thoughts, it immediately raised a middle finger to the sky.

"Damn you! Crap! That old schemer Shen Mo must be secretly cursing me again! Achoo! Achoo!" Pan Long sneezed twice fiercely, then, as the Dao Rhythm power from the opposite side attacked, it ran like a dog again!

Crap!

Who would have thought! This damned place, entering it meant randomly appearing in a location.

It and that old schemer Shen Mo were separated again!

And as Pan Long was cursing, Shen Mo, on the other side, was looking at the massive Dragon Corpse Mountain opposite him.

Just as he was about to take another step forward, the Dragon Corpse Mountain erupted in a roar.

And Shen Mo's progress was obstructed!
