A towering, precipitous peak, like a colossal python reaching to the heavens, coils along one side of a main road. From within the mountain, wisps of black mist continuously emanate, shrouding the sky within a radius of a hundred meters. Within this area, no ferocious beast dares to set foot.
Because this place belongs to the territory of the Ancient Heavenly Demon Python!
The Ancient Heavenly Demon Python is an extremely rare mutated ferocious beast. In terms of lineage, it is considered to be a being whose bloodline is quite close to some ancient ancestors of the snake race!
However, the Ancient Heavenly Demon Python's excessive bloodlust resulted in its intelligence being far inferior to that of the Nine Netherworld Underworld Python and similar groups. Therefore, the latter looked down on the former somewhat. After all, no matter how powerful it was, without its own intelligence, it was nothing more than a killing machine with greater strength.
Not long ago, the Ancient Heavenly Demon Python that blocked their way was killed by Huo Xuan. After the Ancient Heavenly Demon Python died, the group came here and found its lair.
Within the Ancient Heavenly Demon Python lies the Demonic Blood Pool, which it accumulated over hundreds of years!
Over hundreds of years or even longer, the Ancient Heavenly Demon Python will go to great lengths to find numerous rare Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures into the pool. Over time, the energy condensed in the Demonic Blood Pool will reach an extremely terrifying level!
This intense energy will be the place where their offspring are born and reproduce. It is estimated that only the descendants of the Ancient Heavenly Demon Python could withstand such a massive amount of energy.
Huo Xuan absorbed a significant amount of the energy within the Demonic Blood Pool, leaving the remaining energy for Huo Zhi.
Although the remaining energy within the Demonic Blood Pool is not as concentrated, the danger of absorbing it is greatly reduced. Huo Xuan estimates that the remaining energy will be enough to help Huo Zhi improve his strength.
"Brother Huo Xuan, the Flower Sect members have already dealt with it..."
After Huo Yun Flower Sect, Yan Liao Huo Xuan immediately reported the entire process to the Flower Sect.
"Well done."
After listening to Yan Liao's report, Huo Xuan nodded slightly. Although the process was somewhat cruel, it was harmless. Moreover, Huo Xuan would not feel any pity for those ants.
"Brother Huo Xuan, especially that Nalan Yanran, I have tortured her to death as you requested."
Upon hearing this, Huo Xuan smiled slightly, raised his palm, and a cluster of pale white flames, a cluster of deep blue flames, and a cluster of cyan flames slowly appeared in his palm.
"Combine!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the three different flames began to gradually merge. Time passed second by second, and finally, the last three-colored flame quietly floated in Huo Xuan's palm.
"I will fuse the Child Flame of the three Strange Fire: the Bone Chilling Flame, the Sea Heart Flame, and the Azure Lotus Earth Core Flame. Its power will definitely not be inferior to the strange Strange Fire Heavenly Flame Ranking."
Huo Xuan casually tossed the three-colored flame to Yan Liao. Upon seeing this, Yan Liao caught the flame steadily, implanted it into his Soul Imprint, and nurtured it within his body.
Killing Nalan Yanran and exchanging her for a "Strange Fire" is a huge win!
Huo Xuan had previously told Yan Liao that if Nalan Yanran was among the group from the Flower Sect, killing her would yield a powerful "Strange Fire".
Of the three, he was the only one without Strange Fire. That's why, when he heard the order and discovered Nalan Yanran's presence, he was the first to strike and kill her!
"Now only Gu Xun'er is left..."
Huo Xuan knew perfectly well how severely he attacked Yun Yun last time. As the murderer, he was well aware of the consequences. As the saying goes, "A teacher for a day is a father for life." How could a disciple let someone else get away with killing their master?
When they first met, Huo Xuan didn't think he would have any future dealings with her, which is why he didn't kill her.
Back then, when the Flower Sect attacked Yun Yun, Huo Xuan just didn't have the chance; otherwise, Nalan Yanran would definitely not have survived!
Anyone who can threaten me must die!
Queen Medusa, Qing Lin, and Zi Yan are all on our side. As for those connected to Xiao Yan, Little Fairy Doctor died at Huo Xuan's hands long ago, Yun Yun has probably gone to see Xiao Yan, and now, her disciple has also been dealt with.
The rest of the people?
It's not worth mentioning.
The most urgent task now is to improve my cultivation level so that I can better fight against Gu Xun'er in the future.
"Brother Huo Xuan, how much longer do we have to wait here?"
At this moment, Yan Ling stepped forward and asked.
"Wait another day or two, and it should be much better. Besides, the Bodhi Ancient Tree isn't going anywhere, so what's the rush?"
Upon hearing this, Yan Ling could only shut up and obediently step aside to wait silently.
For the next few days, Huo Xuan and the others remained there, waiting quietly.
On the third day, Huo Zhi, who had been in seclusion, finally emerged. Having absorbed the remaining energy from the Demonic Blood Pool, he barely managed to break through to the peak of the Four-Revolution Dou Venerate level...
"Let's go. It's time to head to the Ancient Domain Stage."
That place is a remnant from ancient times, and ferocious beasts generally do not approach it, so it can be considered a safe area in the Wild Ancient Region.
Almost all forces that come to compete for the Bodhi Ancient Tree choose to settle at the Ancient Domain Stage.
Ancient Domain Stage.
Legend has it that in ancient times, this place was once an ancient battlefield where many powerful warriors perished. This is why there is a strange and oppressive aura here, and it is this aura that makes this place the only place in the Wild Ancient Region where ferocious beasts dare not set foot.
In addition, this Ancient Domain Stage is located at the junction of the central and deep parts of the Wild Ancient Region. From here, one can directly enter the depths of the ancient domain. Therefore, this place has been chosen by many forces as the safest foothold in the Wild Ancient Region.
After approaching the Ancient Domain Stage, Huo Xuan and the others flew for about ten minutes before a huge plaza suddenly appeared in their sight.
The square was packed with people; the sheer number of people gathered together created an incredibly impressive scene!
When Huo Xuan and his group arrived at the huge square, they attracted some attention, but those eyes quickly shifted away.
During this period, teams and powerful individuals would occasionally arrive here, which was not unusual.
Those with the strength to reach this place are at least at the peak of the Dou Zun. Those who are not strong enough have already fallen on the way here and become nourishment for the Wild Ancient Region.
Most of these individuals are likely from low-profile forces, sects that keep a low profile but possess considerable resources. However, the Bodhi Ancient Tree is definitely not going to fall into their hands.
Looking across the plaza, in its center stood a massive stone platform, hundreds of feet in size and about two meters high. On this platform, there were also some people, though far fewer in number than those below. But these people on the platform shared one thing in common: their auras were all extremely powerful...
That's where they should be!
"Let's go see if we can run into some acquaintances..."
