64: Chapter 64 Crimson Blood Immortal Crystal, Material for Imperial Weapons
Inside the Qingxuan Holy Land, a streak of rainbow light flashed through the air.
Chu Chen's figure descended; Chu Long had already been taken into the Small World by him.
[Ding! System mission issued: As a Great Demonic Cultivator, it is necessary to stir up a storm of blood. Sacrifice the human and demon races within the Qingxuan Holy Land to unlock the ten thousand soul banner's divine ability, the God-Demon Slaying Array.]
God-Demon Slaying Array? The system is dropping good stuff again.
Sacrifice the human and demon races within the Qingxuan Holy Land? A fierce light flickered in Chu Chen's eyes.
But first, let's see if there are any treasures in this Qingxuan Holy Land.
*Swish! Swish! Swish!*
Streaks of light flashed across the sky above Chu Chen.
It seems these people can't wait; they're all flying toward the center.
However, the Holy Land's inheritance isn't that easy to obtain. Even if someone is lucky enough to get it, Chu Chen would make them spit it back out.
Chu Chen then released his soul power to investigate the surroundings.
After searching for half a day, Chu Chen found no rare treasures besides these dilapidated buildings.
He didn't even see a single weed; there was only desolation and the scent of decay.
Looking at this wretched state, could it be that the Qingxuan Holy Land was destroyed by someone else?
But if it was destroyed by others, how could an inheritance be left behind? Chu Chen pondered.
Three days passed like this, and Chu Chen found nothing useful in the Qingxuan Holy Land.
He only encountered a handful of cultivators, which made him suspect if the person who left the Qingxuan Holy Land's inheritance had died too quickly.
Leaving only the inheritance and no other good items.
*Whoosh!*
A woman in white fell from mid-air.
Looking closely, the woman's chest was stained red with blood. Her life force was fading; she was essentially a dead woman walking.
The moment the woman in white saw Chu Chen, she said hoarsely, "Fellow Daoist, run!"
As she spoke, several sounds of breaking through the air rang out.
A few ugly-looking demonic beasts landed.
"Human, I see you're quite fair-skinned. I just wanted to enjoy myself a bit."
"I didn't expect you to refuse even unto death and even take my treasure away."
"Why go through all this? If you had let me enjoy myself, I might have spared your life."
"But even if you die, I won't let your corpse go," the leading demonic beast said with a lewd grin.
He paid no attention to Chu Chen behind the woman in white.
*Pfft!* A mouthful of blood sprayed from the woman's mouth. Her face was pale, and her life force was about to vanish.
The woman in white looked at Chu Chen and handed him her spatial ring.
"Fellow Daoist, I will self-detonate in a moment to hold them back. Run! Inside this storage bag are my savings from over the years, as well as the opportunity I just obtained here."
"If there's a chance in the future, please avenge me."
Then, the woman's eyes filled with killing intent as she looked at the demonic beasts.
"You stole my treasure and killed my senior brother. Today, even if I die, I will take one of you down with me!"
Using her last bit of life force, the woman in white rushed forward at extreme speed. Her skin began to swell rapidly; she was preparing to self-detonate.
However, a black shadow quickly fell from mid-air, instantly smashing the woman into a blood mist.
"I say, why are you guys so slow? You can't even handle a single human woman. Don't hang around with me anymore; it's embarrassing."
A demonic beast with horns on its head and a body similar to a human's, but with a face like a monkey's, bared its sharp, cold fangs.
When the demonic beasts behind him saw this figure, fear was evident on their faces.
"Big brother, I... we won't dare do it again. We just thought this human woman was a bit pretty and wanted to play with her for a while."
"Enough nonsense. Where is that thing?" the monkey-faced beast asked.
"Big brother, that thing was given to this human by that woman."
Hearing this, the monkey-faced beast looked at Chu Chen. "Human, hand it over and I'll leave you an intact corpse. Otherwise, I'll swallow you bite by bite."
"Karma comes around. That woman and her senior brother died at your hands."
"And you all will die at mine," Chu Chen said indifferently.
"Human, you—" However, before the monkey-faced beast could finish.
Chu Chen's figure instantly appeared before him, his hand gripping the beast's neck.
"I don't like listening to nonsense, so you'd better save it for the afterlife."
*Snap!* With a sound, fresh red blood splattered everywhere. The monkey-faced beast's neck was instantly snapped by Chu Chen.
Seeing this, the other demonic beasts showed expressions of terror.
Chu Chen calmly wiped the blood off his hands. "Xiao Hei, I'll leave these to you."
Xiao Hei's figure instantly appeared. These demonic beasts were only at the First level of the Dragon Transformation Realm; against them, it was a one-sided slaughter for Xiao Hei.
Soon, the demonic beasts were completely devoured, leaving only a pile of white bones on the ground.
Chu Chen scanned the spatial ring the woman in white had given him.
There were only some spirit stones, spirit herbs, and a few magical treasures.
However, one thing caught Chu Chen's attention: a black iron piece in the spatial ring that actually blocked his soul power's exploration.
Chu Chen then took the black iron piece in his hand and studied it carefully. But after half a day, he couldn't tell what it was.
"Chu Xiaozi, throw that thing in here for me to see. I feel a familiar aura coming from it."
Hearing this, Chu Chen's brows twitched. "Could it be that you recognize this thing?"
After saying that, Chu Chen threw the black iron piece into the Small World.
"I don't know, but I sense a familiar aura. Maybe I recognize it, maybe I don't."
Ming Yuan picked up the black iron piece and said thoughtfully, "The closer it gets, the more familiar it feels."
"Strange. Could it be that this black iron piece isn't its original appearance, which is why I can't recognize it?"
Thinking of this, a power of Devouring manifested in Ming Yuan's hand and struck the black iron piece.
Instantly, the color on the black iron piece began to fade rapidly.
Before long, the color had completely vanished, and it radiated a piercing red light.
"No wonder it felt so familiar. It's crimson blood immortal crystal! Chu Xiaozi, you've really struck it lucky."
"This crimson blood immortal crystal is one of the materials for refining Imperial Artifacts. Even a Great Emperor would collect such a treasure upon seeing it."
"If this were in the outside world, those factions would surely fight to the death to get their hands on this crimson blood immortal crystal."
"It was likely left behind countless ages ago, and it evolved a black substance to wrap around itself for protection and to deceive others."
"But it's still a bit lacking if it wants to fool my Double Pupils."
Hearing this, Chu Chen laughed, "crimson blood immortal crystal? Imperial Artifact material!!?"
"I didn't expect someone to deliver crimson blood immortal crystal to my doorstep right after entering this inheritance ground."
"It seems I, Chu Chen, am also a person of great fortune."
"I have to say, Chu Xiaozi, your luck is truly good. Even I'm a little jealous of you."
"This is crimson blood immortal crystal. I've only seen it before; I've never owned it."
Suddenly, a sweet and pleasant voice rang out not far from Chu Chen.
"It's actually you!!! Why are you here too!!!"
