This was an ancient, ruined altar.
Like a fallen behemoth, it lay silently at the heart of this terrifying forest. The massive stones scattered around it bore countless marks carved by time, proving just how long this place had existed.
The altar was enormous. It bore some resemblance to the altar left behind by the arrival of an otherworldly powerhouse once discovered in the Far North of Douluo Continent, but this one was even grander and more imposing. In particular, the colorless stone pillar at its center gave off an unsettlingly terrifying feeling.
Shen Liuyu touched one of the enormous strange rocks beside her in confusion. The instant her fingers made contact, she immediately pulled her hand away, her expression turning startled.
Shui Bing'er slowly walked up behind Shen Liuyu and asked softly,
"Ayu, what's wrong?"
Staring at the strange rock before her, Shen Liuyu said uncertainly,
"Sister-in-law, this stone can absorb Soul Power. The moment I touched it, the blood in my body was strangely stirred too, as though it would leave my body the next second..."
Shui Bing'er frowned slightly. Looking at the massive stone that seemed utterly ordinary, she was temporarily unable to decide what to do.

Everyone's attention was drawn over. When they turned around, they found Qiu Ruoshui staring in shock at another massive stone, her face showing both surprise and fear.
Looking closely, they saw a conspicuous wound on her fair palm. A thread of fresh blood was slowly being absorbed by the dim stone beside her, eventually vanishing without a trace.
Even now, wisps of blood were still being drawn from Qiu Ruoshui's wound, drifting toward that massive stone.
This bizarre scene left everyone at a loss. Shen Hanyu frowned
