Whoosh!

Lin Yan immediately went to find the source of the other two senses. The passages behind the black stone forest led to different locations. The second one was not a wasteland, but a swamp, where huge pits were also mysteriously formed.

Like a passage leading to an abyss.

"The second fragment!" Lin Yan found the second Supreme Treasure Fragment by following the same method. The second fragment was much smaller than the first one, less than one-tenth the size of the first.

But--

Lin Yan's eyes lit up, and he held his breath for a moment. "This... it's actually a blade!"

Floating before him was a deep blue Crescent Blade. Its blade-shaped edge looked incredibly sharp and chilling. The edge of the blade was covered with extremely fine and mysterious patterns. It looked about ten centimeters long and two centimeters wide, but it perfectly preserved the crescent-shaped blade edge.

A sense of happiness arises spontaneously.

Lin Yan couldn't determine what kind of weapon's blade fragment the crescent-shaped curve came from, but he knew he had really hit the jackpot this time!

He stroked the cyan Crescent Blade in his hand, faintly sensing the ancient aura emanating from it. It had been dormant in this Blood Crescent Blade Blood Demon Forbidden Zone for countless epochs, yet... it had preserved its sharpness forever.

An invincible sharpness.

Lin Yan pursed his lips, held the Crescent Blade in his right hand, and gently wiped it across his left arm guard.

Laugh!

The Black Armguards was sliced open as easily as cutting paper, offering no resistance whatsoever.

And this was all without Lin Yan using much of his physical strength. The sharpness of the blade not only cut through the edge of the outer armor that the blade touched, but also completely cut through the arm guard!

"Um?"

The sensation of being pricked by a needle instantly came from my arm.

He was incredulous to see that his arm had been cut with a thin, long gash, which bled slightly before healing.

"How... how is this possible?"

Lin Yan felt his heart trembling, filled with shock.

"This armor was specially prepared for Viska Star. In terms of material alone, it is equivalent to E9-class metal mixed with some F-Grade Metal. In addition, the special armor-making process further enhances its defensive capabilities. However, in front of this Crescent Blade, it can no longer be described as 'paper,' but rather as 'air'!"

"Not only does it not create any resistance, its sharpness actually penetrates three-tenths of the way."

"I didn't use any force at all!"

"If this... if it were controlled with Mental Power, with the Psionic Amplitude of more than 1,800 times fully gathered together, and then used as a mental weapon attack method to trigger the Universe Origin Law, wouldn't it be Heaven Killer weapon?"

Thinking of this, he could hardly contain his excitement.

If Lin Yan had known beforehand that there would be such a "Crescent Blade" fragment, would he have cared about that one chance?

This is no longer Supreme Treasure Fragment being worth hundreds of millions of Hun Yuan Unit.

While the fragment from the tip of the club-shaped weapon was valuable, its main value lay in the material itself. The material used to forge a treasure would naturally be far more valuable than G-class metal.

This second fragment is different. In terms of size, it is only one-tenth of the previous one, and in terms of material value, it is less than one-tenth. However, its preciousness is even more astonishing.

Its value lies precisely in its "sharp edge".

The higher the grade of the metal, the more difficult it is to process and manufacture. "Treasures" are treasures at the level of Universe Lord. Even Venerable level are extremely rare beings who can damage them. However, compared to damaging them, refining them to an incomparably sharp level is obviously much more difficult.

This process goes far beyond the materials themselves.

Even with the same material, the difference in lethality between the blade and the back of the blade is incomparable.

Moreover, it's common knowledge!

Good steel should be used on the back of the blade... no... on the handle!

Pah!

"Although this 'Crescent Blade' is just a fragment and doesn't have the aid of Law Secret Patterns like telekinetic weapons, and lacks the power amplitude of the weapon itself, its sharpness alone is enough. Once I become stronger, I'll probably be able to cut through F9-class metal like vegetables. Ordinary Force Battle Suit will be useless. If I take it by surprise, who can withstand me?"

This thing is best used as a killer move; it can definitely play a key role in turning the tide of battle.

Lin Yan smiled slightly, "If this 'Crescent Blade' were to be sold, the price would be astonishing. However, it is easy to sell but difficult to buy. It is better to keep it for personal use. It can be very effective even in battles at the Feng Wang level."

Even though the Virtual Universe Company is all-encompassing, it can't possibly be this considerate. In fact, as their strength increases, especially for Universe Venerable, the treasures they need are very rare and hard to come by, many of which cannot be purchased with cash.

Therefore, the wealth of powerful individuals is almost entirely comprised of fixed assets. Their treasures can be exchanged for money, but money cannot necessarily be exchanged for the treasures they desire; they can only "exchange goods for goods."

This "Crescent Blade" can barely be considered a treasure that money can't buy.

"The second fragment is so precious, but judging from the sensations, the third fragment has the strongest stagnation." Lin Yan's heart stirred. "I'm afraid the third fragment is the largest among them!"

The first and second pieces, although different in size, were not noticeably different due to the resonance established between the Sacred Artifact Crystal and the Blood Demon Forbidden Zone. However, the stagnation caused by the third piece was much stronger.

With this thought in mind, he first left, handing over the collected fragments to the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone on the outskirts, lest some accident occur and they be lost again, which would be a huge loss.

Then they went to the detected location and began to continue the search.

Following the passageway, the Blood Demon Beast puppet quickly reached the end of the passage.

"Um?"

Looking into the distance through the Blood Demon Beast puppet's cold, serpentine eyes, the situation this time was different from before.

An invisible pressure surged continuously. Although Lin Yan was transformed into a shadow, he could still feel the immense pressure of the will, which was as mighty as the heavens. All he could see in front of him was a vast, blood-red ocean that stretched as far as the eye could see, with no end in sight.

But it wasn't blood; it was a mist, similar to the one in the previous pit, that resembled fresh blood.

"From where I am right now, the pressure I'm feeling is enough to kill Cosmic level being instantly!"

Lin Yan was momentarily shocked. "Just how powerful must it be inside?"

Looking around, he guessed that the "vast ocean" in front of him was just like the deep pit before, only this time it was much larger.

Having had two previous experiences, he knew in his heart that the deeper he went, the stronger the pressure he would have to endure.

"This place... might be the Core Land the Blood Demon Forbidden Zone Land," Lin Yan thought to himself. "And this time, the location is even deeper than before."

"Let's try it first. Anyway, it's Green Line Devouring Worm clone, so it won't cause any problems."

Without further hesitation, the Green Line Devouring Worm clone, covered in Green Scale Armor, instantly appeared. With a flap of its Blade Wings, it leaped down from the edge of the enormous pit.

This deep pit was like a bottomless abyss, with thick blood mist flowing naturally within it, forming all sorts of shapes, vaguely resembling the various Blood Demon Beast outside.

"After the Blood Demon Beast dies, it does not leave behind a body, but turns into Blood-colored airflow that dissipates in the air. Furthermore, the Blood Demon Beast cannot exist outside the environment of the Blood Demon Forbidden Zone." Scenes of killing the Blood Demon Beast flashed through Lin Yan's mind.

Even if they are subdued, whether they leave the Blood Demon Forbidden Zone or are brought into A World, they will only turn into Blood-colored airflow and completely dissipate.

"This place may be the source of the Blood Demon Beast."

But Lin Yan didn't care about these things. His purpose in coming here was simple: to collect the last fragment of the precious treasure.

10,000 kilometers.

20,000 kilometers.

30,000 kilometers.

The wind howled in their ears as the Green Line Devouring Worm clone swooped down into the abyss. At a distance of 30,000 kilometers, the natural pressure here became even more terrifying.

"Boom!"

Lin Yan felt as if a huge mountain had crashed down on his consciousness. Even many powerful World Master would find it difficult to withstand such pressure. However, Lin Yan's will was firm and unshakable. The Tower of Void in the Green Line Devouring Worm clone sea of consciousness trembled slightly as his consciousness condensed into one.

"Continue." A pair of protruding compound eyes of the Green Line Devouring Worm clone flashed with a cold light.

It continued to fall, approaching the deepest part of the abyss.

The endless pressure felt like a rolling chariot repeatedly crashing against Lin Yan's will. When they reached 70,000 kilometers, even Lin Yan felt that he was about to reach his limit.

The powerful Will Impact almost caused him to hallucinate.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

It was like a battlefield with a sea of blood rushing towards us.

"We're getting closer."

"We're getting closer." Lin Yan felt that he was about to reach his final destination, but he gritted his teeth and resisted.

"Um?"

The Green Line Devouring Worm clone inadvertently fell on the mountain wall, and for a moment, Lin Yan was shaken.

On the mountain wall before them were huge carvings, their full forms obscured, resembling a strange monster with every scale clearly visible.

"Rumble..." An ancient and eternal aura flowed between heaven and earth, making people hold their breath.

The Green Line Devouring Worm clone looked at the strange monster carving. The last place it sensed was not far away. Following the direction of its senses, it looked at the huge carving on the mountain wall and swept over it.

It's more than just a picture.

There were eight images of strange monsters in total. Among them, Lin Yan observed that one of them was a lizard-like monster standing on four hooves with a single horn pointing proudly to the sky.

"Could this be..."

Finally, the Green Line Devouring Worm clone stopped. Looking at the image carving in front of it, a huge wave of emotions surged within it.

Roar!

Phew!

It was as if we were traversing through time, countless years ago, when a gigantic ancient monster roared and slaughtered countless beings.

The bizarre head entwined with vines looked extremely ferocious. It resembled both a bird and a beast, with wings on its back, and exuded a terrifying aura that sent chills down one's spine.

Now.

The Green Line Devouring Worm, located far on the periphery, almost couldn't help but roar, its eyes filled with desire and excitement—a special sensation stemming from instinct.

Seeing other monster images did not evoke this feeling, but seeing this image gave Lin Yan a strange sensation, as if the ancient monster had come back to life from the stone wall.

He immediately sensed something and made a definite guess. "This is the Beast God!"

"The former... Eight Innate Beast Gods!"

The Green Line Devouring Worm clone swept across the monster's bizarre head before it, and a third fragment seemed deeply embedded at the edge of the monster's head. If it weren't for the resonance with the Blood Demon Forbidden Zone, it would be impossible to detect.

Boom!

The Green Line Devouring Worm extended its sharp claws, and the third fragment was immediately pulled out.

"Um?"

The Green Line Devouring Worm clone gleamed slightly.

It is... a Broken Axe.
