Chapter 958 - 941: All Regions Move, The Mysterious Ancient Desolation!

Chapter 958: Chapter 941: All Regions Move, The Mysterious Ancient Desolation!

The youth was thin as kindling, but he possessed a power far beyond that of his peers of the same rank, supporting the battle bones of his physique, which shimmered with a faint coppery luster.

"Teleporting into the Ancient Desolation World requires the energy support of blood and flesh from other races, is this blood essence the same as spirit energy?"

It took several moments before the youth took a long breath, his eyes flashing with determination!

"I’ve prepared for so long, whether the Ancient Desolation World is real or not, I have to give it a try."

The next moment, the youth muttered to himself as the Ancient Ruins Token he held gleamed with a pale radiance, enveloping him and even causing the space around his body to tremble at that moment.

A silver-white space channel, shimmering with pale light, unfolded, tearing at him with a fearsome aura. Yet, protected by the Ancient Ruins Token, the youth suffered no harm. He stepped into it, and soon, the mountain forest returned to silence, leaving only the pervasive spread of blood qi.

Purple Gold Domain, Iron Mountain City.

An ancient city under the governance of the Iron Mountain Marquis Division, one could even say that Iron Mountain City was the tribe city of the Iron Mountain Marquis Division; the Inner City was the place where the tribe lived, while the Outer City attracted countless warriors for trade.

By relying on warriors coming from all directions for trade, the strength of the Iron Mountain Marquis Division remained strong over the long term.

Inner City Iron Mountain Marquis Division Great Hall.

"Have you all heard that mysterious voice too?"

The chieftain of the Iron Mountain Marquis Division and several elders exchanged glances, then spoke with some gravity.

When the Ancient Ruins Token fell into Iron Mountain City, naturally, the most were obtained by the supreme rulers of the city, the Iron Mountain Tribe. It must be said that this was a matter of fate.

However, as the chieftain of the Iron Mountain Marquis Division, Iron Mountain Ao naturally had many concerns. Twirling the token in his hand, he simply couldn’t see through it. Moreover, the sudden voice that imprinted itself in his Soul Sea made him feel that the Ancient Desolation World was too mysterious.

"Chieftain, like you, we have also received the guidance from the mysterious voice, stating the opening of the Ancient Desolation World and beckoning us to the Great Trade, promising the exchange of alien races’ blood essence for blood energy!"

And so all the warriors felt an inexplicable chill—what kind of method was this!

"Chieftain, there are no few within our tribe who have obtained this Ancient Ruins Token. I have just made inquiries, and those who have refined the token have all received guidance, whereas those who have not refined it have heard nothing!"

"Not only that, but every time those who have refined the token venture out to fight against alien races, the flesh and blood of those aliens are collected into this token, as are the wild beasts, though the corpses of our own Human Race are not taken!"

"This must be the so-called blood energy!"

In the Iron Mountain Grand Hall, many elders began to analyze, for the unknown is the most terrifying.

"Refining the blood and flesh of other races to enhance one’s strength also exists within our Human Race. The chilly energy inside the bodies of alien races is plentiful, so refining it comes with many challenges. However, it is also a method for our Human Race to improve our strength. What’s the difference between transforming blood essence into blood energy?"

Just then, Iron Mountain Ao, the chieftain seated in the main place of the Iron Mountain Marquis Division, suddenly spoke, "The Ancient Ruins Token is overly mysterious, and I have also made inquiries with the Ancestral Court, yet they know nothing. Since it has now opened, I, as the chieftain, will personally explore and see whether it is truly a place for trade, or if there is some other ulterior motive!"

"Chieftain!" several elders of the Iron Mountain Tribe exclaimed in surprise, among these elders, some had refined the Ancient Ruins Token, and others had not.

"That’s enough. Warn members of the tribe who possess the Ancient Ruins Token not to act rashly. Wait for my return. ’Ancient Desolation’, this term is of great significance to our Human Race. I hope it was opened by a great being of our race!"

Hum!

The light swirled, a silver space channel emerged, and the chieftain of the Iron Mountain Marquis Division vanished within the tribe.

Mountain Ripple City, Falling Wind City, and even Purple Gold King City, one city after another witnessed a similar scene, and there were also those who dismissed it with disdain.

Hengguang Domain.

As the Hengguang Marquis Division carries the domain’s name as its tribal name, one can see the strength of this Human Race Marquis Division, legendary indeed!

Building their city amidst mountains, the range that stretched thousands of miles was the territory of the Hengguang Marquis Division. The ancient mountain resembled a dragon, with the dragon’s head reaching for the TianQue.

At the dragon’s tail of the Hengguang Mountain Range, there was a cluster of low stone houses, which were even extWell ending beyond the range. The people living here were naturally the least regarded among the entire Hengguang Marquis Division.

"Hengguang Xingyao, stop thinking about competing with Hengguang Xingchen for the position of young chieftain. Though both are the sons of the chieftain, you are merely a concubine’s child. Like you, our Hengguang Marquis Division has dozens of concubines’ children. The position of tribal chieftain is not for you. Why bother struggling for it?"

Inside the stone house, a middle-aged warrior earnestly advised the young warrior sitting cross-legged next to him, who however remained with his eyes closed, not opening them at all during the conversation.

The aura around the young man was extremely unstable, at times reaching the Great Venerable Rank, and at others merely that of an ordinary martial artist of the first level of the Towering Realm.

"You may leave now."

Without opening his eyes, Hengguang Xingyao spoke indifferently. At last, the middle-aged warrior shook his head with an air of frustration and left the stone house.

After the middle-aged warrior had gone, Hengguang Xingyao’s eyes opened, revealing a look that should not belong to a young warrior. It was a gaze that had seemingly seen through the vicissitudes of endless time.

"The position of Clan Leader of Hengguang? Hengguang Star Essence, I must also thank you for awakening the spirit of my past life, never expecting that in a blink of an eye, a full hundred thousand years would have passed. Indeed, time brings great changes to the world, and a journey on the Reincarnation Path is but a fleeting moment."

The youth’s eyes held a sense of great enlightenment. Although his body bore injuries, there was an inexplicable majesty about him.

"The Hengguang Marquis Division, let it be. For raising this life of mine, if you have the self-awareness, I, as your leader, shall protect you for all eternity!"

Immediately afterward, his gaze became focused, "From now on, I am Hengguang Star Essence!"

In his hand appeared a token, the very Ancient Ruins Token, revealing a thoughtful expression in his eyes!

"The Ancient Desolation World, what grandeur. Could it be that my memories were incomplete during my reincarnation, having no recollection of this world at all, or was it possibly developed later by some powerful being."

As a reincarnated individual, he of course understood that the Supreme realm, with combat power spanning the Star River, can easily create a whole new world!

"However, this Ancient Ruins Token appears to have deep ties to my own Human Race. Indeed, a grand venture. Given that, I shall investigate its origin. My injuries too require treatment with Spirit Medicine, a place of trade, a bold move, a lofty spirit. I hope the person behind this has the fortune to continue it!"

Hum!

Within the Stone House, a green light shimmered, and the reincarnated Hengguang Star Essence vanished from within the Stone House.

Wind Fire Area.

Plagued by alien tribes over the years, within the Eastern Wasteland South Region, the Wind Fire Area has suffered the most brutal impacts.

The battle of destiny and blood sacrifice did not, like the Border Wasteland Region, have the support of the Gu Yuan Tribe to turn the tide. It ended in defeat at the hands of the Scorpion Clan, with a branch even descending upon the Wind Fire Area.

As the region’s destiny dwindled, the Human Race crumbled, suffering appalling losses, and even the most powerful Marquis Clan, the Purple Fire Marquis Clan, was obliterated by the alien onslaught.

Subsequently, the Scorpion Clan War Masters wreaked havoc, with as many as three Marquis Clans and five upper-tier tribes being wiped out. As for the remaining middle and lower-tier battle divisions, they were countless.

With the support of the Human Race’s Ancestral Court and surrounding domains, they ultimately exterminated the Scorpion Clan, barely restoring some peace.

However, the entire area had been severely damaged, and now the strongest tribe in the Wind Fire Area is the Fire Scale Marquis Clan, at the Grand Honored Level, and also the only surviving Marquis battle division in the area!

Even though the main force of the Scorpion Clan was quelled, the Human Race in the whole Wind Fire Area was said to have lost more than half its numbers, along with the waning destiny, resulting in a low spirit amongst the people.

Similarly, when Xiao Chen scattered the Ancient Ruins Tokens, he dropped twice as many in the Wind Fire Area as in other regions. Although the alien tribes within the area were subdued, there still remained many remnants concealed within the Desolate Mountain Forest.

This allowed the warriors who obtained the Ancient Ruins Tokens to hunt even more alien tribes—beneficial for both the Gu Yuan Tribe and the Wind Fire Area.

Fire Scale Marquis Clan.

Though they survived the scourge of the Scorpion Clan, the Fire Scale Marquis Clan was weakened. The clan’s strongest, Clan Leader Huo Ling Guang, was severely injured, and several elders of venerable rank also bore heavy wounds.

The entire clan was enveloped in a bleakness until the sound of Luli broke the silence, stirring the tribe.

"Hope this is truly a place of fair trade!"

Several weary figures in the Tribal Grand Hall, hearing Luli’s voice, showed signs of excitement, with one of the elders’ pale faces flushing unnaturally red.

The day the Ancient Ruins Tokens descended, the whole Fire Scale Marquis Clan grasped it as if it was a life-saving straw, especially as the clan leader had been seriously injured by a spiritual attack and remained unconscious despite efforts from the Ancestral Court.

Since obtaining the Ancient Ruins Tokens, the Fire Scale Marquis Clan’s warriors have frequently entered the Desolate Wilds to hunt alien tribes, bringing their corpses back to the clan. All were collected by an Ancient Ruins Token, now held by the young clan leader of the Fire Scale Marquis Clan.

"I was the least injured and still have the strength to fight. I shall accompany our young clan leader this time and protect him!" Soon enough, an elder of venerable rank stood up, followed by several Heavy Tower Realm Martial artists, each holding an Ancient Ruins Token!

Soon, a radiant light fell in the Tribal Grand Hall, and several figures vanished.

...

Luli’s voice spread across many regions, deeply imprinting into the Soul Seas of the warriors who had bound themselves to the Ancient Ruins Tokens, whether they were Blood Refining Realm warriors or Towering Realm venerables, even legendary strong ones.

Spiritual Light Domain.

Ten Thousand Mountains Domain.

Ten Thousand Spirits Domain.

Snow Peaks Realm.

In these expanses of land, vast enough to cover millions of miles, they were stirred by a single Ancient Ruins Token. A majestic voice akin to a heavenly tune seemed to descend from the depths of the sky vault, embedding into their Soul Seas.

Some were hesitant, others excited. The bright radiance continued to fall from the vast lands, one after another, warriors disappearing from their places, heading towards the mysterious Ancient Desolation World!
