Chapter 544: Demon Burial Cave
The s.p.a.ce inside the Devil"s Gate was very big and the spiritual energy was thousands of times richer than the outside world. Not only did it breed many precious treasures that countless experts fought over, there were also many ancient ruins. Each ruin contained the treasures left by the ancient ancestors, this attraction was not less than heaven and earth treasures.
While exploring ruins, one could have the chance to find various divine weapons forged in the great ancient era or cultivation techniques and secret techniques. These things that could directly increase one"s strength or battle power, who wouldn"t be greedy for them?
Because the chasers were very tight on their tails.
Chu Tian pa.s.sed many ruins and didn"t have the time to explore them. He could only keep changing positions and deception to mislead Kildan and the pursuers. When he was certain of keeping a safe distance, he would continue searching for treasures. For now, it was just a game of hide and seek.
Who told them to have innate spatial energy?
Chu Tian had a large bottle of True Spirit Pills, it was good enough for them to keep playing. Also with the little fox"s treasure searching ability, they found quite a few hidden treasures. After this journey, he had harvested quite a bit.
A shrill wail filled with sorrow.
It resounded through the horizon!
A flaming bird was killed by the three of them working together.
This flaming demon bird was found in the central region and other than the great ancient demon, it was the most intense fight. There were large holes scattered in a several kilometer range around the battle, with each hole being filled with lava. This was all formed by the attacks of the flame bird, so it could be seen how powerful its attacks were.
The flame bird had a battle strength in the peak 9th True Spirit Realm!
This flame was powerful enough to burn any material!
The three of them hunted this beast using Mei Ji"s illusion technique, finally succeeding in taking down this powerful monster. However, after the flame bird fell, it did not directly die and the flames condensed into a large crystalline egg.
"This is a beast with a phoenix bloodline, so it can revive like a phoenix. It will turn into an egg each time it is killed and it can restore all of its battle strength if it has enough time to absorb energy. This monster is simply undying!"
"Is there a way to seal it?"
"That is not easy. The phoenix is a divine beast and it can break seals. This is a beast with a portion of the phoenix bloodline, but it can still resist most of the seal unless the seal"s power far surpa.s.ses its own."
The flame bird was close to the peak 9th True Spirit Layer.
How could this egg be sealed unless one was past the True Spirit Realm?
If they didn"t have a way to seal the flame bird, it could revive at any moment. An existence with this kind of powerful strength, the consequences would be unimaginable if it revived!
Shadow said with knit brows, "Since it"s this troublesome, why don"t we destroy the egg and not allow it to revive!"
"Idiot, this egg is also a Immortal Grade Item, would it still be worth anything if you break it?" Chu Tian snappily said, "We can"t break it, we have to think of another way!"
The flame bird was the descendant of the fire phoenix and the fire phoenix was a divine beast. A pureblood divine beast would be a Divine Item, but this flame bird was much lower. However, this essence egg still contained the essence of the phoenix blood, so if it was given to Nangong Yun, it could quickly raise her Great Nirvana Scripture to the Perfection Realm!
Breaking the egg was like placing the cart before the horse and if they didn"t break the egg, it was like carrying a time bomb. This flame bird could revive at any moment and everyone had just experienced the flame bird"s might, so they didn"t want to fight it again!
The little fox called out to Chu Tian and pointed at the egg before pointing at itself, volunteering itself.
"You have a way? Good, then give it a try!"
The little fox walked in front of the fiery crystalline egg and used its claw to draw a seal on the egg. Chu Tian had never seen this seal before, but it should be a great ancient demonic seal. Even the strongest seal wouldn"t have any effect on the egg, but when the little fox drew the seal, the flames began to weaken like it couldn"t hold on any longer.
It was enough!
The little fox sucked in and and a powerful suction came from the seal. The fire red crystalline egg released a sharp bird"s cry and a struggling purple red illusion was pulled out. It had a pair of wings and was covered in flames, it was actually the flame bird the three of them had just fought.
The little fox saw this and pulled out a puppet. It licked it with its tongue and after it was covered in saliva, it pulled out towards the soul.
The flame bird"s soul was pulled out, but it was like it was made of rubber. Although it seriously distorted, it didn"t break. The little fox revealed a look of struggle and almost couldn"t hold on.
After the flame bird became an egg, it was when its soul was at its weakest.
Even like this, it was still a powerful soul, so how could it be pulled out that easily? The little fox had not done this before and it found that it was harder than it imagined.
Chu Tian understood what the little fox wanted to do and instantly released his spiritual energy. His eyes turned the purple colour representing his soul power and a purple sickle chopped down in the air.
"Soul Harvest!"
The tenacious flame bird"s soul was cut off.
The little fox revealed a look of joy and immediately put the soul away. He added a few more seals and made the seal on the puppet stronger. Shadow saw everything and he asked in a confused voice, "What is it doing?"
"It pulled out the soul of the flame demon bird and sealed it inside that strange puppet." Mei Ji had never seen this kind of strange thing before, "No matter how strong the flame bird is, it cannot possibly revive without a soul."
The energy around the egg didn"t weaken at all, but the soul had already been stolen.
This meant that even if the energy gathered could support reincarnation, without a soul to activate it, it didn"t have any meaning at all.
Chu Tian nodded in satisfaction, "Now bad!"
The little fox proudly put the puppet away. Since Chu Tian became Miracle City"s City Lord, the little fox had a large group of followers, so it didn"t lack souls to use. The little fox placed normal souls into the soul bottle and used them like consumable goods. The special souls were sealed inside soul puppets to make them easier to use.
Now that it had subdued the flame demon bird"s soul, the little fox"s strength had increased.
The pursuers came closer!
The little fox"s sharp senses felt this and it immediately reported to Chu Tian. It revealed a fighting look to Chu Tian, giving him its suggestion! Run, run, run, what run? Directly fight them!
Now that it could summon a powerful beast, there was no need to fear this motley crew!
Chu Tian wasn"t in a rush to make this decision because even if he wanted to fight, it was important to pick the right battlefield. If the nearby things could be used, they would be able to fight with half the effort.
He looked into the distance after putting away the fire egg, seeing a large palace ruins. The scale was more difficult to see compared to the others and this position was close to the center of the Devil"s Gate.
"What is that place?"
"Demon Burial Cave." Mei Ji replied to Chu Tian"s question, "That place is said to be the entrance to another place, but it is filled with unheard of demons. It"s always been a forbidden place."
"Fox, take a look at the situation!"
The little fox began exploring with its Divine Eye, first looking at the area surrounding the palace. Looking at the surface, there weren"t any suspicious things moving in the ruins. The ruins were covered in destroyed buildings, as well as strange large holes.
There was nothing?
Impossible!
Even if Chu Tian hadn"t personally gone to that place, he could feel the malignant auras coming from it. This was a place where demons gathered, there was no reason for it to be as calm as it was now.
What is going on?
Chu Tian carefully inspected it a few times, but it was still the same!
"There are problems with these holes, take a look at what is inside."
After the fox obtained Chu Tian"s instructions, it began to investigate the holes near the ruins. The image the little fox saw was transmitted to Chu Tian and Chu Tian could clearly see the holes were actually hiding giant green jade stones.
These things are all…..
Chu Tian was confident seeing these and he said to the fox, "Alright, now increase the range and let me see what is surrounding it."
The little fox started searching the rules and it was as expected. Because it was too dangerous, people didn"t dare explore the ruins, so there were many good things hidden in the ruins.
There was a temple in the center of the ruins.
The temple had tens of metal statues and they weren"t corroded even after being left for so long. When the little fox began to investigate the statues, it was pleasantly surprised to find that the eyes of these sculptures were all made of Eyes of the Star.
Eye of the Star!
Close to a hundred pieces of Eyes of the Star!
What kind of wealth was this!
Chu Tian had already found a spatial mine and he wouldn"t need to be afraid of lacking spatial crystals once he started mining them, so the most lacking material would be Eyes of the Star. Who would have thought that he would find over a hundred pieces, this was equal to a hundred Transport Towers. The value of these already surpa.s.sed normal Immortal Grade Items for Chu Tian.
Looking further in!
The little fox had just moved its Divine Sense in when it met an invisible barrier that it couldn"t pa.s.s through no matter what.
There was something that could shield against Divine Sense?
It didn"t matter! He had to obtain these Eyes of the Star!
Chu Tian was worrying how to return to Miracle City. As long as he made several Transport Towers with these Eyes of the Star, wasn"t returning to the surface a matter of seconds?
"Kildan"s group is close behind us and you guys should have recovered." Chu Tian said without hesitation, "I feel that we shouldn"t waste energy avoiding them and clean them out here!"
"Alright!"
Shadow was already waiting for this!
Mei Ji felt that even if Chu Tian was powerful, fighting over twenty peak experts with the three of them, it would be very hard to win. Only Chu Tian had created too many incredible miracles that Mei Ji didn"t trust her views. Being chased like this was not a method, so she wanted to see what plans he had!
