74: A strange blood pool! Something that defies the heavens!

“Though I’m not a good person, I’m very protective of my own. You understand what I mean, right?”

Kicking the Qilin Skeleton again, Tang Tian said irritably.

Making the people around him act as human shields?

Tang Tian couldn’t do such a thing.

Tang Tian’s words made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

If Tang Tian had asked them to scout ahead, they really wouldn’t have been able to refuse.

“Oh, by the way, didn’t you let those skeletons try?”

Suddenly remembering something, Tang Tian asked.

“Why wouldn’t I?”

“Every day, I send ten thousand or so skeleton subordinates to scout ahead.”

“Unfortunately, they all vanished as soon as they got close to the edge of the Great Canyon’s depths.”

Without thinking much, the Qilin Skeleton blurted out.

“Why are you all looking at me like that?”

“They don’t have sentience; if they die, they die.”

Noticing that everyone’s gazes were a bit off, the Qilin Skeleton said righteously.

“In that case, let’s enter the Great Canyon’s depths first!”

After a moment of thought, Tang Tian decided decisively.

“Yes!”

Soon, the group, led by the Qilin Skeleton, flashed towards the Great Canyon’s depths.

Along the way, they encountered numerous skeletons of various races.

Perhaps because of the Qilin Skeleton’s presence, they all chose to avoid them, showing no intention of attacking Tang Tian and his companions.

Before long, Tang Tian and his group arrived at the edge of the deepest part of the canyon.

Seeing the scene before them, Tang Tian and the others were all a bit stunned.

A hundred zhang away, there was actually an altar several tens of zhang in diameter.

Upon the altar, there was a large blood pool.

Above the blood pool, various eerie and powerful runes flickered.

And that wasn’t even the main point!

The main point was that this blood pool gave everyone the same thought.

As long as they obtained the item within this blood pool, their strength could advance by leaps and bounds.

In fact, as everyone looked at the blood pool, they felt a surge of excitement.

They seemed to be quietly growing stronger!

However, their rationality prevented anyone from acting rashly.

Because below the altar, it was enveloped by a translucent, blood-colored energy shield.

This energy shield made everyone feel a deadly danger.

“Now do you understand?”

“There must be a Heaven-Defying Treasure Trove within this blood pool!”

Seeing that no one spoke, the Qilin Skeleton said with fanaticism in its tone.

Coming back to their senses, everyone nodded in agreement.

“Perhaps you haven’t noticed, but the stronger a Cultivator’s strength, the stronger the attraction of the item in this blood pool is to that Cultivator.”

Just then, Taowu said abruptly.

There was a reason why it said this.

It was simple!

Black and White Shuangsha and the Big Black Dog were already stirring.

They were all walking step by step towards the edge of the energy shield.

Similarly, Ouyang Lang and Ye Wuming followed closely behind.

At this moment, they seemed to have lost their minds.

Their eyes were completely bloodshot!

Only Tang Tian, Taowu, and the Qilin Skeleton remained unaffected.

“Why are the three of us unaffected?”

Looking at the Qilin Skeleton, Tang Tian asked with some confusion.

“I’m a skeleton; it’s normal for me to be unaffected.”

Shaking its head, the Qilin Skeleton replied casually.

“I don’t know!”

Similarly, Taowu also shook its head.

Rubbing his temples, Tang Tian couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

What was going on?

Soon, Tang Tian understood why.

The Mysterious Purple Pearl in his Dantian was actually emitting faint purple energy that merged into his Soul.

Similarly, a faint wisp of purple energy also flew towards Taowu.

So… after thinking for a moment, Tang Tian decisively sent out several wisps of purple energy towards Black and White Shuangsha and the others.

In an instant, everyone’s bloodshot eyes returned to normal.

“What’s happening?”

“What a strange blood pool!”

“You scared me to death!”

“Thank goodness!”

“…”

Before long, everyone, still shaken, returned to Tang Tian’s side.

“Thank you, Brother Tian!”

Looking at Tang Tian, the Big Black Dog said gratefully.

It was clear that it understood Tang Tian had saved them.

And that was indeed the case!

In fact, the Big Black Dog knew it was the Mysterious Purple Pearl’s doing.

Hearing the Big Black Dog’s words, everyone looked at Tang Tian in astonishment.

Then, a wave of gratitude followed.

“Young Clan Leader, this place seems a bit eerie!”

“How about we leave?”

Surprisingly, White Sha actually suggested retreating.

Beside him, Hei Sha also nodded in agreement.

In their eyes, this place was an ominous one.

It was better to leave quickly!

Here, even they almost capsized in a ditch!

“No hurry!”

“Perhaps I have a way to take this treasure?”

Waving his hand, Tang Tian said with an air of composure.

Hearing Tang Tian’s words, everyone’s eyes were filled with astonishment.

He had a way?

Was it true or false?

To be honest, everyone’s first reaction was disbelief.

Especially the Qilin Skeleton!

Having stayed here for a long time, it was very clear about one thing.

Not to mention ascending the altar!

But the surrounding energy shield alone was enough to kill a Great Emperor.

The master said he had a way; could he really break this energy shield?

Impossible!

Absolutely impossible!

This energy shield before them was something even Great Emperors could only stare at helplessly.

“…”

…Outside the Emperors Demise Mountains, at this moment, a group of uninvited guests arrived.

The first thing they did upon arrival was kill the demonic Cultivator.

If Tang Tian were here, he would definitely be very surprised.

This group of more than ten people were actually from the Demon Race!

All of them were Demon Race powerhouses!

Their strength, at its weakest, was at the Sixth Heaven of the Saint Realm!

Among them, the strongest person had even reached the Quasi-Emperor level.

This Quasi-Emperor was a scholarly-looking, cold-eyed old man in his sixties.

“This is the right place, isn’t it?”

Scanning his subordinates, the old man in his sixties asked.

“My lord!”

“The Treasure Trove should be here.”

“However, we cannot confirm the exact location of the Treasure Trove.”

Looking at the old man in his sixties, a middle-aged man with a square face replied.

“I understand.”

“In that case, let’s split up and continue searching around!”

“Hurry, Mo Jiutian’s subordinates have already arrived here, and he might descend at any moment.”

“Yes!”

“…”

In a short while, everyone dispersed and flew in different directions within the Emperors Demise Mountains.

Just as Tang Tian was about to try opening the energy shield, the Qilin Skeleton suddenly looked at him with hesitation.

“What is it? Speak quickly!”

Frowning, Tang Tian urged.

“Master, a group of Demon Race members has entered the Emperors Demise Mountains.”

“Should we take action and eliminate them?”

“They also seem to be after the treasure in the altar.”

“I’m worried they might attract even more powerful beings; right now, they have a Quasi-Emperor…”

Taking a deep breath, the Qilin Skeleton slowly said.

“Demon Race?”

“They also came here to seek treasure?”

Tang Tian was stunned, a surprised expression appearing on his face.

However, his expression quickly returned to normal.

In Tang Tian’s view, he would simply deal with problems as they arose.

What was there to worry about?

After all, this Qilin Skeleton could summon Quasi-Emperor skeleton subordinates.

Even if that Demon Race Quasi-Emperor was very powerful, this could still buy them time to escape, couldn’t it?

“Yes! So I think it’s better to strike first.”

Nodding, the Qilin Skeleton continued.

“In that case, have your subordinates block them!”

Rubbing his temples, Tang Tian instructed.

“Yes!”

“…”

Before long, Tang Tian’s attention returned to the energy shield surrounding the altar.

Tang Tian immediately used various Profound Truths to test it.

The result, to Tang Tian’s immense frustration, was this:

Apparently, no Profound Truth seemed to work very well.

This included the Spatial Profundity and Time.

Seeing the various Profound Truth forces appearing around Tang Tian, everyone was already numb.

Now, even if Tang Tian told them he had comprehended all Profound Truths, they wouldn’t be surprised.

There was no other way; how many Profound Truths had this guy already used?

And yet, he still had no interest in Cultivation.

It was simply outrageous!

Suddenly, they all began to doubt in their hearts whether Tang Tian was the legendary Son of Luck?

Or the Heavenly Dao’s illegitimate child?

Otherwise, why could he be so Prodigy?

“Hmm?”

Just as Tang Tian was feeling discouraged, his attention was instantly drawn to the activity in his Dantian.

The Mysterious Purple Pearl in his Dantian suddenly began to spin at high speed without any warning.

Moreover, the Mysterious Purple Pearl actually erupted with a faint devouring force.

Wait!

This is?

Soon, Tang Tian’s eyes widened.

His body had actually become a medium for the Mysterious Purple Pearl’s devouring?

It wasn’t just Tang Tian!

Everyone around him also widened their eyes.

They all looked at Tang Tian as if he were a monster.

This guy suddenly erupted with an astonishing devouring force?

He was devouring the energy of this energy shield?

From an extremely slow speed at first, to getting faster and faster?

Everything happened in the blink of an eye.

“This can also happen?”

“As expected of Master!”

Breaking the silence, the Qilin Skeleton exclaimed.

Its tone was filled with reverence.

“Big Black Dog, do you know something?”

Seeing that only the Big Black Dog had no reaction, Taowu couldn’t help but ask.

The others also immediately looked at the Big Black Dog.

“No comment!”

Lying lazily on the ground, the Big Black Dog yawned and said.

Of course, it knew what was going on, but it didn’t want to reveal any information about the Mysterious Purple Pearl.

It didn’t want to invite trouble!

Even a slight carelessness could easily lead to it getting involved in supreme Karma!

This was not the outcome the Big Black Dog wished to see!

Hearing the Big Black Dog’s words, everyone was so angry their teeth ached.

However, what they felt more was helplessness.

Among everyone present, no one was a match for this Big Black Dog.

They were also quite desperate!
