As we gradually went deeper into the dark secret realm, there were more and more burning thorns and dead trees. Invisibly, these thorns and dead trees formed intersecting paths, as complex as a maze.

But after walking for a further distance, the location of each trail begins to become clear, which is guiding people in the direction forward.

Members who enter the trail may eventually arrive at different locations along different trails.

Obviously, these dead trees and thorns were all arranged by the creator of the secret realm to guide those who enter the secret realm to their final destination.

How powerful does the creator of the secret realm need to be to create such a huge secret realm, complete with thorns and dead trees that will not burn for millions of years?

"Manager, the atmosphere here is a bit weird." Yu Fuyun said uneasily. The deeper he went into the secret realm, the darker the secret realm became. Even though there were more and more dead trees with burning thorns,

This darkness cannot be dispelled.

The light of the flames can only maintain the range that illuminates the path. Beyond this range, nothing can be seen. However, the three of them can still see numerous bones on the outside of the thorn path. They belong to those who are tenth level or above.

The body remains immortal for thousands of years.

As they went deeper and deeper, the sounds of howling ghosts and wolves came from the darkness. It seemed that undead and evil spirits were roaring, and the originally strange dark secret realm became even more eerie.

If you are less courageous, you will be frightened and afraid to move forward when you hear these sounds.

"It's just some resentful spirits and ghosts. There's nothing to be afraid of." Fang Long had the lives of thousands of necromancers at his disposal, and the mere resentful spirits and ghosts were nothing to him.

However, he did not know that except for the strange world of the Magic Continent, there were very few undead on most other living planets.

Mi Jiaojiao feels goosebumps all over her arms when she hears things like resentful spirits. Although she is not afraid of these things, she always feels nauseous.

…

…

The three of them continued to move forward along a thorny path, and soon came to a huge ancient city wall.

This is a pass built between two large cliffs. The city wall is thousands of feet high and has experienced the baptism of countless years. The city wall appears to be somewhat dilapidated, and there are many dried bones on it, which were nailed to the city wall.

The owners of these corpses are all powerful men of tenth level or above!

Thousands of years ago, this place must have experienced a great war. The entire city wall was stained black and red, all of which were traces of blood and weathering left countless years ago.

In the middle, the equally huge city gate had been blasted open and broken into two pieces.

"The smell of blood is very fresh blood, coming from this ancient city." Yu Fuyun sniffed his nose and said aloud.

There must have just been a bloody battle in this ancient city.

Perhaps, the secret behind the deaths of more than 140 members of the Chuangxing Platform within ten minutes lies within this ancient city.

"Go in and have a look." Fang Long took the lead into the ancient city.

The originally dark world suddenly turned into a blood-red color at this moment.

Inside the ancient city is a thick red cloud, mixed with a sinister aura, that wraps the entire ancient city. And the thousand-foot-high city wall seems to have a special ability, confining these blood-colored clouds within the ancient city.

Moreover, after entering the blood mist, all the cries of ghosts and gods from the outside world stopped. Even the ghosts could not survive in this blood mist.

Fang Long stretched out his hand to take it and touched the blood mist in the ancient city. From the blood mist, he could feel the extremely strong power of the origin of life. Each palm-sized blood mist contained more than ten

The energy of 'Star Core Energy Crystal'.

Although these blood mist look a little weird, if you practice here, you will definitely get twice the result with half the effort, hundreds of times better than a dedicated practice room.

Because this blood mist contains not only energy, but also life energy.

This can be said to be a paradise suitable for cultivation.

The three of them walked for a certain distance in the city. The blood mist that shrouded the ancient city clung to their bodies, making them sticky and uncomfortable.

"We found... the members of the Star Creation Platform who entered the secret realm earlier." Mi Jiaojiao found traces of the members of the Star Creation Platform in the ancient city.

I saw nearly fifty mummies lying on the ground not far away.

It can be seen from the posture of these mummies lying on the ground that they were attacked during their lifetimes and fell to the ground with serious injuries on their backs. Then because the wounds were too large, they were quickly turned into mummies in the weird secret realm.

There are also a few mummies that are a bit special. They were attacking each other before they were alive, and finally died together.

"Is it an internal conflict among the members of the Star Creation Platform?" Mi Jiaojiao said. After all, there was an example of Fang Long. As soon as Fang Long entered the secret realm, he also had a conflict with the 'Zhu Family's children' and hacked nine to death in one go.

people.

"This possibility cannot be ruled out." Fang Long nodded and said: "Let's continue moving forward. There are only more than fifty people here. There must be some alive. Find them and ask them what happened."

The three of them were about to move forward when suddenly, Yu Fuyun stopped.

"Store manager, dear girls, have you ever felt a very strange impulse?" He suddenly said: "Since just now, why have I suddenly had a very bloodthirsty impulse and really want to kill someone!"

"..." Fang Long turned around and looked at Yu Fuyun, and then found that this guy's eyes were red and his face was ferocious, like a ferocious beast that wanted to devour people at any time.

"Mi Jiaojiao, where are you?" Fang Long turned around and looked at Mi Jiaojiao.

"I...it's okay. However, I do feel that my willpower has declined a bit. And I have a very hot impulse coming over me." Mi Jiaojiao nodded.

"Exit the ancient city first." Fang Long immediately dragged the two of them up and left the ancient city in an instant.

After leaving the ancient city, Mi Jiaojiao and Yu Fuyun immediately woke up, sat down on the spot, and began to use their own unique skills to get rid of the strange things in their bodies.

Fang Long stayed by their side to protect them.

Behind them, the newcomers from the Star Creation Platform did not catch up. They were well aware of the dangers of the secret realm, so they moved step by step and cautiously after entering the secret realm. Therefore, they moved forward very slowly and did not meet Fang Long and others.

About five minutes later, Mi Jiaojiao opened her eyes, and then a look of surprise suddenly appeared in her eyes.

Yu Fuyun also stood up after a moment, with the same joy in his eyes.

"The seven natal stars in my body have all grown in size and become more solid. Not only that, my soul has also been refined and strengthened a lot! In just a short period of time, it was enough to reach the level of

My month of hard training!" Mi Jiaojiao said happily.

"Me too." Yu Fuyun nodded.

"So, the blood mist in the ancient city is not all bad." Fang Long nodded.

He can now guess that the blood mist in the ancient city must be the refined life of the strong man who died in the secret realm. All of it was extracted by the mysterious power of the secret realm and transported to the ancient city to condense.

These blood mist are similar to the 'origin of life' that Fang Long swallowed with his alien talent. However, they contain more power and are more complex; even the energy in the flesh and blood is condensed. Similarly, these blood mist are not as good as the 'origin of life'.

As rough and pure as it is. The blood mist contains the 'evil spirit' of the deceased, which will make those who absorb the blood mist feel filled with bloodthirsty murderous intent.

But as long as you withstand the impact of evil spirits, it is an excellent way to refine your will and soul.

It's just that... the strong men who entered the secret realm on the Star Creation Platform lost more than 140 people. Even if all these 140 people were turned into blood mist nutrients, the concentration of blood mist in the ancient city would not be able to reach this level.

.

Then there is only one possibility. The energy in this blood mist is not only accumulated this time. It is even accumulated bit by bit by people who died in the secret realm thousands of years ago.

Yu Fuyun and Mi Jiaojiao benefited greatly from the blood mist, but Fang Long himself, because of his too strong willpower, was not affected by these evil spirits at all, and the evil spirits had little effect on refining his soul.

The nine natal stars in his body have been consolidated to the limit and are difficult to be strengthened. Therefore, he cannot feel the effect of the blood mist.

…

…

"Now it seems that the dead members of the 'Star Creation Platform' in the ancient city should have been unknowingly affected by the blood mist. Some of them lost their minds with weak wills, were driven by murderous intent, and took action against their companions. Then...

A melee left fifty lives behind." Mi Jiaojiao said softly.

After witnessing the effect of the blood mist in the ancient city, Yu Fuyun and Mi Jiaojiao were unable to move their legs. This place is very suitable for cultivation, and it is even more effective than the secret realm specially used for cultivation.

They only stayed for a few minutes, which was equivalent to a month of hard training. If they stayed longer, they would definitely be able to break through and reach a higher state.

"Store manager, how about we practice in this ancient city for a while?" Yu Fuyun first suggested.

Mi Jiaojiao is also looking forward to it. The seven natal stars in her body have already condensed. All she needs is the heat to unite the seven stars into one and condense the natal star.

A disciple of a powerful family like her is not afraid of the crisis of the 'Star Level' at all. Her family has exclusive skills and abundant resources. Unless she is really not talented enough, she can usually successfully survive the Star Level

.

Therefore, they are not afraid of the 'Star Level' like adventurers, but instead look forward to entering the 'Star Level' quickly and then being promoted to the 'Black Hole Level'.

Consolidating one's cultivation is a very long process, and it takes a lot of time. Now that there is blood mist in this ancient city, maybe she can take the opportunity to advance to the star level.

"Okay, then stay here and practice for some time. But don't go too deep and find a quiet place to practice near the exit of the ancient city." Fang Long thought for a while and replied.

He also felt the benefits of this blood mist. Next, he would practice the second level of the 'Tongshen Spear Technique' and condense the tenth natal star.

According to estimates, the tenth natal star requires a full 200 million star core energy crystals! Or even more!

Although he has 600 billion star core energy crystals from Xuba Kian in his hands, it can't last long. The blood mist of the ancient city in front of him may save him a lot of star core crystals.

"When you two are practicing in the ancient city, if you are affected by evil spirits, leave the ancient city immediately!" Fang Long instructed the two of them.

"I know, there is so much blood mist in the ancient city, we won't be greedy." Yu Fuyun replied.

The three of them entered the ancient city again.

Mi Jiaojiao and Yu Fuyun found a place at the gate of the ancient city. They were not far apart, so they could take care of each other.

Fang Long, on the other hand, went all the way deep into the ancient city, looking for the place where the blood mist was thickest.

After that, his consciousness sank into the inheritance space and came to the thick book of 'The Art of Tongshen Qiang'.

The tenth-level legendary natal star, nine is the ultimate number! Even a cultivator with ten attributes cannot cultivate the tenth natal star. Ultimately, it is because at the 'tenth-level star', the body's strength is limited, and the Dantian
To be continued...
