One had to know that this prodigy was also a top-notch Beast Spirit prodigy who could pa.s.s through the fourth wooden house valley. However, under the corrosion of the insects, he actually did not have the slightest resistance. The armor on the other party was a high-grade Beast Spirit Treasure!
“No wonder Senior Artifact Spirit said that it was extremely dangerous. Even high-grade beast spirit treasures could not withstand its corrosion. Doesn’t that mean that as long as we are stuck to it, we will definitely die?”
Some prodigies revealed looks of fear.
They were experienced and knowledgeable. Some races in the Immortal Dao also had such a corrosive ability, but they had never seen an insect that could instantly corrode a high-level beast spirit treasure. The armor of a high-level beast spirit treasure was a treasure that was even stronger than the defense of an immortal artifact. It could even block a full-strength attack from a True Immortal.
Ling Hao frowned. He went forward and took the floating beast blood crystal away. He turned around and looked at the prodigies. He said coldly, “What’s there to be afraid of? This insect is only strong in its corrosive ability. Its speed and defense are not strong. As long as we use the power of the third form of a high-grade beast spirit treasure at the first moment, we can easily kill it. Let’s keep going.”
He took the lead and continued forward. The other prodigies followed closely behind, but their vigilance increased by a lot. Speaking of which, they had been careless this time. If they had attacked the moment they discovered the insects, that prodigy would not have died.
The prodigies of the Spirit Clan, the Devil Clan, the Flame Clan, the Winged Clan, and other clans had encountered similar situations. After paying the price, they finally realized the danger of the palace’s appearance.
“Fellow Daoist Shen, the blood-colored crystal in front should be the essence of beast blood!” In the narrow secret pa.s.sage, Yin Ting’s tone was filled with surprise.
Shen Ping’s eyes lit up. “The liquid in the crystal is the same as the beast blood heavenly spirit liquid. The artifact spirit said that the beast blood heavenly spirit liquid originates from the essence of the beast blood. This is definitely the case. Stay here and guard. I’ll go get it.”
Yin Ting nodded. “Be careful.”
Shen Ping activated the Eye of Sea Beast to observe his surroundings. He did not discover anything, but he still cautiously swept his divine sense and magic power. Then, he released the strange beast puppet and commanded it to retrieve it.
The beast blood crystal moved. The surface of the stone wall flickered with light, and then densely rushed towards the strange beast puppet. In an instant, it corroded the strange beast puppet until there was nothing left.
Puff! Puff! In his shock, he immediately took out the strange beast puppet to form a defense in front of him. Then, he activated the third form of the silk blade, the Void Thunder Blade. In the lightning of the lightning blade, he killed a large number of insects that rushed past the puppet.
After confirming repeatedly that there was no danger, he returned to Yin Ting’s side with the beast’s blood crystal.
“What the h.e.l.l is that?” Yin Ting’s expression was solemn.
Shen Ping shook his head and said with lingering fear, “Even my eye-type divine power can’t detect it. These creatures shouldn’t be living beings. They don’t have any aura or energy. It might be some kind of trigger mechanism. As long as the beast’s blood essence moves, these insects will activate.”
Yin Ting looked at the puppet and guessed, “Could it be a puppet?”
‘Perhaps, but if it’s really a puppet, this kind of puppet is too terrifying.” Shen Ping frowned. His Pupil of Sea Beast was very sensitive to aura and energy. Even if it was a puppet, it could not escape his divine power’s detection. Back in the Heaven Ascension Hall, the treasure box deep in the s.p.a.ce and separated by layers of rooms could not escape his eyes.
He was not in a hurry to continue forward. He pondered the question. Yin Ting also pondered. “Fellow Daoist Shen, could it be related to the essence of the beast blood?”
Shen Ping was stunned for a moment before saying, “You’re saying that the beast blood essence has some special energy to shield these insects?”
Yin Ting nodded repeatedly. “Why don’t you use the essence of the beast blood first?”
“How can that do? It will take a period of time to digest the beast blood heavenly spirit liquid, let alone the essence of the beast blood. There are only ten years. If we miss it, it will be a waste of this opportunity.” Shen Ping said without thinking. However, after saying that, he fell silent. Perhaps this was the test of the palace world. After hesitating for a long time, he gritted his teeth. In any case, he still had the Taiyi Void Immortal Talisman on him. At most, he would use this immortal talisman to digest the essence of the beast’s blood. “Fellow Daoist Yin, guard me. If more than five years pa.s.s, you have to wake me up no matter what!”
“Okay.”
He made a decision. He first used the strange beast puppet and then set up a formation. Then, he sat down cross-legged and took out the beast blood essence and Taiyi Void Immortal Talisman to use.
Boom.
As the liquid in the beast blood essence flowed into his body, the beast blood hidden in his blood completely boiled and burned. Waves of heat quickly spread throughout his body. Even his bones, tendons, and even his dantian’s sea of consciousness let out a beast roar.
This roar seemed to want to completely destroy his will and sea of consciousness, turning him into a zombie. He endured the impact. What followed was the ancient battlefield. Shen Ping seemed to be in a situation similar to the time he comprehended something in the Realm Sea Palace and possessed a huge creature. Every time he fought and pounced, he could clearly feel the vibration of the bones and blood of the strange beast.
This time, he even saw the special pattern fluctuation on the horn. It seemed to be the fluctuation of the truth of heaven and earth.
After an unknown period of time, Shen Ping slowly opened his eyes. A familiar voice sounded in his ears. “Fellow Daoist Shen, you’re awake?”
He ignored the voice. He couldn’t help but sigh. “As expected of the essence of beast blood. Just one of them actually increased my concept of the beast bone by 20%. Now, I’ve completely comprehended the entire beast bone!”
Yin Ting couldn’t help but say excitedly, “Congratulations, Fellow Daoist Shen!”
Only then did Shen Ping look at Yin Ting and ask with a smile, “How long has it been?”
“It’s only been six months.”
So, it only takes five years to digest a beast’s blood essence.” He heaved a sigh of relief. Then, he stood up and activated the enhancement and Pupil of Sea Beast again. This time, he saw the dense insects attached to the stone walls in the tunnels in front of him. “It’s indeed related to the essence of beast blood!” When Yin Ting heard this, she couldn’t help but ask, “Fellow Daoist Shen, can your eye-type divine power see those insects?”
“That’s right. Now, we don’t have to worry about being attacked by those insects. Let’s continue searching for beast blood essence.”
The two of them continued to walk along the secret pa.s.sage. The secret pa.s.sage was not long. After arriving at the main pa.s.sageway, they advanced for another half a month and arrived at the place marked by the secret pa.s.sage. However, with Shen Ping’s Pupil of Sea Beast, the two of them did not go to this secret pa.s.sage at all. Instead, they continued walking. It was not until they saw the location of the densely packed insects that they turned to the secret pa.s.sage. This secret pa.s.sage was not marked on Shen Ping’s map.
“That’s great. With Fellow Daoist Shen’s eye-type divine power, we don’t need a map to find the beast’s blood essence!”
Yin Ting said excitedly, “The beast blood essence in the palace this time should have a lot to do with the ranking. The higher the ranking, the more hidden paths there are. Then, the chances of finding the beast blood essence will be higher. Now that Fellow Daoist Shen can see those insects directly, you can completely use them to lock onto the beast’s blood essence!”
Shen Ping nodded excitedly and hugged Yin Ting’s slender waist. “It’s all thanks to your reminder. Otherwise, why would I take the risk to use the essence of the beast blood? Haha, let’s go and get the essence of the beast’s blood!”
With the previous encounter, he and Yin Ting immediately activated the third form of a high-grade beast spirit treasure and instantly killed those insects after entering the secret pa.s.sage and seeing the essence of the beast blood.
Next, the two of them repeated the same trick. After walking along the main pa.s.sageway for a year, he had obtained three beast blood essences in a row. His efficiency was even higher than the prodigies of the Spirit Race and the Devil Clan. After all, they had to search every secret pa.s.sage, but Shen Ping did not need to. He could find them accurately.
Yin Ting looked at the map and said, “The central area is further ahead. From the situation in the dark area, we only found five after spending so much time. There s probably not much beast blood essence in the entire area.”
Shen Ping smiled and said, “The effect of beast blood essence is extremely strong. Even after comprehending it once in the Realm Sea Palace, it doesn’t have such an effect. It’s normal for it to be scarce. I hope there will be more beast blood essence in the central area.”
After saying that, the two of them stepped into the central area. The number of secret pa.s.sages in the central area was several times more than in the dark area. Thirty percent of them were marked on the top ten genius maps, but this did not affect Shen Ping..
