Chaos Heavenly Emperor Technique

Before long, Ling Feng and his group, following the guidance of the Blood Slaughter Worm, indeed found a relatively hidden location.

Although the Blood-colored Ancient Road is mostly a desolate landscape, occasionally some terrain resembling hills or marshes appears.

Before them was a Chaotic Stone Forest constructed of giant stones, and within the Stone Forest, it seemed there was a group of Blood Clan residing.

After the madness of the Blood-Colored Moon, these Blood Clan members had all fallen into a weakened state, hanging upside down on the giant stones like bats, sleeping soundly.

”Ten!... Twenty!... Thirty!”

Chu Chaonan made a quick count, immediately revealing a hint of ecstasy, ”With so many Blood Clan here, it looks like we can get a few Blood Crystals for nothing! Haha!”

Since these Blood Clan members were deep asleep, eliminating them was nothing more than a trivial task.

Ling Feng nodded slightly; using Ten Directions Annihilation, he directly unleashed Leaving Fire Burning Sky.

The domineering Swallowing Flame burned fiercely, and in no time, those Blood Clan members were reduced to piles of charcoal.

In the next moment, the entire Stone Forest turned into a sea of fire, with wild Sword Qi shooting crazily, grinding each giant stone into powder.

After the dust settled, at the center of the Stone Forest, a huge pit appeared, which was precisely the entrance to the Treasure Vault mentioned by the Blood Slaughter Worm.

Chu Chaonan excitedly searched through the bodies of the Blood Clan, soon retrieving three Blood Crystals, all of excellent quality. As expected from the deep parts of the Blood-colored Ancient Road, the Blood Clan’s gathering point, if encountered at night, would surely have required a tough battle to obtain.

”Altogether, we harvested three Blood Crystals, haha, the haul is quite decent!”

Chu Chaonan laughed as he handed the Blood Crystals to Ling Feng.

Ling Feng accepted only two, leaving one for Chu Chaonan, then looked at the dark hole and said solemnly, ”Blood Slaughter Worm, do you know what’s inside the Treasure Vault?”

”Mostly things from the Human Clan, not much use to me.”

The Blood Slaughter Worm spoke cautiously, ”Rest assured, there is no longer any danger below the hole!”

”Hmph, if anything goes wrong, you’ll be the first to be buried!”

Ling Feng activated Unlimited Vision and jumped into the hole first, followed closely by Chu Chaonan and Yeu Junyao, who all leaped in together.

Due to being buried underground for years, the light inside the hole was very dim, and the air felt strange and extremely pungent.

They proceeded forward without encountering any danger, but Ling Feng still dared not lower his guard. Being outwitted by a small Blood Slaughter Worm would be a major embarrassment.

As they went further, Ling Feng walking at the front suddenly stopped. Yeu Junyao, a beat slower, almost bumped into Ling Feng’s back, furrowing her brows and muttering, ”Hey, you brat, why did you stop all of a sudden!”

But the next moment, Yeu Junyao realized that there was no road ahead.

In front of the deep and long tunnel was a thick stone wall blocking their way.

On the stone wall was carved the lifelike image of an Ancient Mutant Beast, appearing fierce and menacing.

Evidently, it was a Dragon-breaking Stone, which they must open to pass through.

Ling Feng gathered Dragon Elephant Divine Power and punched the stone wall, only to see a dim light flicker, completely neutralizing his strength.

The entire hole shook, but the Dragon-breaking Stone remained undamaged.

”What’s going on?”

Ling Feng glared at the Blood Slaughter Worm, shouting, ”I expect a reasonable explanation.”

”The... the Treasure Vault surely has some protective measures, doesn’t it?” The Blood Slaughter Worm forced a smile, ”You just need to open the stone wall to get inside.”

Ling Feng took a deep breath and coldly asked, ”In your prime, could you break open this Dragon-breaking Stone?”

”I’ve never tried,” the Blood Slaughter Worm timidly replied, ”I only have the power to instantly kill the Blood Clan King during the Blood-Colored Moon, normally I’m not strong. But when the Blood-Colored Moon appears, I go out hunting, so I’ve never tried...”

Ling Feng felt a surge of anger and an urge to crush this pest.

From the earlier attempt, the Dragon-breaking Stone was extremely hard, requiring more than brute force to destroy.

Moreover, the tunnel was not very stable; if brute force was used, the Dragon-breaking Stone might remain intact, but the tunnel could collapse first.

Could they truly leave the treasure mountain empty-handed?

Just then, Yeu Junyao suddenly stared at the patterns on the stone wall, exclaiming, ”Hey, this looks like some kind of Ancient Formation! I think I’ve seen it in an ancient book — these stone blocks can be moved; once they’re in the correct position, the Dragon-breaking Stone can be opened!”

Ling Feng’s eyes lit up; Yeu Junyao is truly worthy of being a descendant of the Divine Race’s direct lineage, so knowledgeable!

”Haha, then we’ll rely on you for this one!”

Ling Feng chuckled, for the first time finding this woman somewhat useful.

”Hmph! Move aside, don’t block this lady!”

Yeu Junyao cast an annoyed glance at Ling Feng, puffing her chest like a proud swan, showing an expression of ”Now you know I’m amazing,” before beginning to manipulate the blocks on the stone wall.

...

Meanwhile, Ling Feng and the others were unaware that above the tunnel, a group quickly approached from afar.

”Hurry, hurry! After the Blood-Colored Moon passes, the Blood Clan is at their weakest; this is the time to catch them, guaranteeing success!”

A cacophony of voices sounded as a group of Martial Artists, each with nets and ropes, rapidly charged toward the Stone Forest area.

However, the Stone Forest they had in mind had vanished mysteriously, and the surrounding area for hundreds of meters had turned to scorched earth.

In the center of that scorched earth, a deep pit stood exposed.

”What the hell happened?”

The lead Martial Artist’s eyes widened; what strange events had occurred here?

”Boss, those Blood Clan members were all burned to death, and their belongings were all scavenged!”

”What? Damn it, who’s responsible for this?”

The coarse leader couldn’t help but curse; those Blood Clan members were top goods on the slave market, fetching high prices.

The Blood Clan gathering points usually have treasures like Blood Crystals, but now everyone got nothing!

Just then, the ground suddenly shook violently, as if something deep within the earth was awakening.

”Hmm?”

The leader glanced at the dark hole, snorted coldly, and said gravely, ”Let’s go down and take a look!”
