485: The ruins have undergone a shocking transformation, a spiritual deer from a hundred thousand years ago!

Of course, Lu Hao would definitely not do something like killing people to help the Demonic Thought find a Physical Body.

At this moment, within the Eastern Region Relic, it was as usual, full of slaughter and contention everywhere, with everyone desperately trying their best for Immortal Qi and resources!

Excluding the group of people who entered the Saint Lord Inheritance, many other Cultivators had already perished. Some fell to Immortal Demon Beasts, while others died at the hands of fellow Cultivators.

As for the interior of the Saint Lord Inheritance, it was much the same as before, with a large number of Cultivators still undergoing trials. However, as time passed, the number of those who perished was steadily decreasing.

Those who had already passed the five trials were anxiously awaiting the end of the Legacy assessment.

Especially Xuan Tianhong and others, their hearts were so agitated that they found it difficult to calm down and Cultivate.

Zhuo Yongyi and Yang Yuanping, among others, had already left their previous Alliance and successfully joined the Wuji Pavilion.

At this moment, they were Cultivating in the outer perimeter, within the Wuji Pavilion's influence.

Not a single person from the entire Wuji Pavilion was outside; all of them were quietly sitting cross-legged. Occasionally, some bored individuals would come out to walk around and chat.

When the Zhuo Yongyi's team first arrived, they found it very strange. Why enter the Relic but not collect resources?

But later, they adapted to this situation and were no longer surprised.

Perhaps this is the Sect led by Lu Dage; it always takes an unconventional path.

Settled in their corner, they did not know that at this very moment, a massive storm was about to sweep across the entire Relic!

Eastern Region Relic, Northern Lands.

This place was a world entirely different from other areas of the Relic; devoid of life, only extreme cold. It was a dead, silent world.

The sky was an eternal leaden gray, with goose-feather-like blizzards pouring down endlessly. The cold wind, like billions of ice blades, let out an ear-piercing shriek, cutting through everything.

The ground was completely covered by thousands of feet thick, mysteriously blue-glowing Ten Thousand Year Profound Ice. The hardness of the ice layer was comparable to divine iron; ordinary Undergoing Tribulation Cultivators could not even leave a trace on it.

However, Undergoing Tribulation Cultivators could not come here, because the temperature here was low enough to freeze the Divine Soul of an Undergoing Tribulation Cultivator.

The Northern Lands of the Relic, this was a forbidden zone for life, an absolute domain where even time seemed to be frozen.

If there was a Cultivator whose cultivation could withstand the ultra-low temperature and break through the Ten Thousand Year Cold Ice, penetrating three hundred thousand feet beneath the ice layer, then he would witness a scene that would utterly shock him!

Because at the core of this desolate ice plain, in the deepest part of the ice layer, in the unknown darkness, a Formation was slowly operating. Upon closer inspection, within the Formation, the colossal remains of a living creature were faintly sealed.

It was a Spirit Deer.

Its entire body was covered in silvery-white fur, as if woven from moonlight and ice, radiating a lustrous glow even after dying for one hundred thousand years.

Its gigantic antlers were like an ancient crown carved from ice crystals, with intricate branches, containing an indescribable Origin Charm.

Its size was not large, similar to a human's. At this moment, it lay quietly prostrate within the ice core, completely motionless.

Around its body was a layer of Formation.

This Formation was extremely ancient, almost merging with the ice layer, transforming into the most resilient spider web, firmly binding it, seemingly preventing something.

That Formation cut off all its connections with the outside world; all external things, including light, could not enter the Formation.

However, at this very moment, this Formation, which had been dormant for one hundred thousand years, suddenly changed!

Crack... crackle...

A faint, almost imperceptible cracking sound echoed in the absolute silence.

The ancient Seal, which had existed for one hundred thousand years and appeared indestructible, quietly developed a hair-thin crack at its core, yet it traversed the entire Seal!

It was unclear whether it was due to the passage of time reaching its end, or if some unknown anomaly within the Relic triggered a chain reaction.

The appearance of this crack was like opening Pandora's box.

Buzz—!!!

An indescribable, terrifying suction force, originating from the instinct of life, instantly erupted from deep within the Spirit Deer's corpse!

This was not the Spirit Deer corpse actively devouring, but rather like a life that had been parched for one hundred thousand years, upon finally coming into contact with Heaven and Earth, instinctively craving and gulping down Heaven and Earth energy!

In an instant, the celestial phenomena of the entire Eastern Region Relic underwent drastic changes!

Above the Relic's sky, the previously stable light gray firmament was now violently fluctuating, as if being frantically stirred by an invisible giant hand!

Subsequently, visibly, the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi from various places converged from all directions of the Relic, like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea.

The Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi from all areas was brutally extracted, forming massive Spiritual Qi whirlwinds that roared deafeningly as they surged madly towards the Northern Ice Plain!

The Spiritual Qi concentration in most areas within the Relic plummeted by nearly fifty percent in just a few dozen breaths!

Furthermore, countless Immortal Qi were forcibly stripped away by this immense devouring force.

Especially in areas closer to the extreme north, the Spiritual Qi was so thin that it was only one to two tenths of its original concentration, like a Spiritual Qi desert!

Cultivators above the Relic, noticing this change, were all horrified, fearfully sensing the sluggish circulation of spiritual power within their bodies and the rapid loss of external Spiritual Qi!

"What's going on?! What happened?!"

"Spiritual Qi... Spiritual Qi is disappearing?! Something is devouring Spiritual Qi!"

"Ahhh! I was in a critical stage of Breakthrough, and it was suddenly interrupted! How could this happen!"

"Everyone, quickly look at the direction of the Spiritual Qi, the source... is in the north! Is it the Northern Lands?! Should we go and take a look?"

By the time this Cultivator asked, some quick-reacting Cultivators had already rushed towards the Northern Lands.

Generally, the occurrence of such Heaven and Earth phenomena usually has a few reasons.

One is the emergence of Heaven And Earth Treasure. The true emergence of a treasure often comes with very grand movements, and with such intense Heaven and Earth phenomena as now, the Rank of this Heaven And Earth Treasure is probably far beyond the imagination of the Cultivators present!

Second is a peerless mighty figure interfering with the celestial phenomena. A peerless mighty figure can easily achieve this level, but this probability is much lower. The Relic has been opened many times before, and there has never been any mention of a peerless mighty figure appearing.

Moreover, the strongest person to enter the Relic this time should be the Grand Elder of Wuji Pavilion, and his cultivation is still far from that level!

So many Cultivators believed that there must be some Heaven And Earth Treasure emerging.

Thus, most Cultivators rushed towards that direction.

Of course, more Cultivators did not take any action; they felt they should not get involved in this messy situation.
