Mysterious Nether Crystal

Elsewhere.

Under the full healing power of the Nine-Turn Golden Body Art, Su Fang's injuries had finally healed seven or eight parts out of ten.

Only then did Su Fang begin seriously examining the state of the Qi Sea within his dantian.

The Qi Sea, originally as large as a lake, had actually shrunk to the size of a small puddle after Su Fang's realm fell.

Moreover, the spiritual energy inside was still steadily leaking away at a slow pace. Before long, Su Fang would likely fall back to the second tier of the Martial Artist Realm.

This troubled Su Fang greatly.

Yet he soon discovered that the situation inside his dantian seemed rather abnormal.

According to the system, forcibly activating his potential would leave him with the aftereffect of dropping one realm.

But judging by his current state, Su Fang was about to drop nearly two realms.

That was rather strange.

"Could it be the environment?" Su Fang guessed inwardly.

He then carefully sensed the concentration of spiritual energy within this underground Nine Nether World.

Su Fang soon discovered that this space contained not the slightest trace of spiritual energy, nor even the slightest trace of Yin Qi.

It was as though it were utterly empty, containing nothing at all.

"How strange." Su Fang scratched his head.

He had only experienced such a situation inside the Spiritless Array.

If that was truly the case, wouldn't he be unable to use spiritual power for extended periods?

Su Fang panicked a little.

After all, Su Fang's greatest reliance at present was the Heavenly Evolution Array Disk.

If he could not use spiritual power for long, all of Su Fang's formations would be difficult to set up.

Without any replenishment of spiritual energy, he could only rely entirely on absorbing spirit stones.

Although Su Fang had brought some spirit stones with him, they could not withstand the Heavenly Evolution Array Disk's prolonged consumption.

"It seems that if I want to survive here for a long time, I'll have to rely on my own strength."

Su Fang sank into distress once more.

Fortunately, his physical strength was powerful enough. Even without spiritual energy or the Heavenly Evolution Array Disk, he could still handle some ordinary situations.

Just then, he suddenly felt a pair of eyes lock onto him.

"Who?"

Su Fang cried out and immediately became alert.

Then he saw a horned bull with black skin passing by...

The monster's gaze toward Su Fang was cold and indifferent, carrying obvious hostility.

"Holy shit..."

But once Su Fang reacted, he was not afraid in the slightest and charged straight at the monster!

Bang!

When his fist smashed into the horned bull's head, Su Fang felt a powerful shock surge back at him.

"Holy shit!"

Su Fang hurriedly shielded his head with both arms, only to be sent flying by a tyrannical force!

Pfft!

Su Fang crashed heavily more than ten meters away, blood spraying from his mouth.

That blow had nearly shattered his internal organs.

Fortunately, Su Fang cultivated the Nine-Turn Golden Body Art, and his body was highly resilient. Otherwise, he would have died on the spot!

"Holy shit, you bastard, you actually made me hurt!"

Su Fang rubbed his aching shoulder and abdomen.

Then he rose to his feet and stared coldly at the monster.

"Roar!"

The horned bull seemed to have spotted Su Fang and immediately charged toward him.

Su Fang sneered. "I refuse to believe you can eat me!"

With an angry roar, Su Fang instantly vanished from where he stood.

When he appeared again, he was already behind the monster. His hand formed a claw, and he viciously struck at the monster's nape.

Bang!

Under Su Fang's claw, the black-skinned horned bull's neck snapped directly, killing it on the spot.

After seeing the horned bull die, Su Fang began examining its corpse to see whether it contained any useful materials.

At that moment, a black crystal suddenly fell from the black horned bull's head.

Su Fang picked it up and looked at it. A system prompt immediately appeared: [Nether Crystal]: A unique product of the Nine Netherworld Realm, usable for cultivating a Nether Body.

"[Nether Crystal]? What is this?" Su Fang wondered curiously.

He picked it up and tried absorbing it, but there was no reaction whatsoever.

"Uh, forget it. I'll keep it for now."

Unable to figure out its purpose, Su Fang could only put it away first.

However, at that moment.

The sound of fighting suddenly came from ahead in the forest. Not far away, a massive ape-like monster was fighting a pangolin-like monster over something!

Su Fang was instantly intrigued. He curiously moved closer and discovered that the ape monster held a red flower in its hand!

That black-skinned Demon Ape was fighting a black-scaled pangolin over this treasure.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The two monsters began an intense battle.

Their extreme physical clashes sent showers of sparks flying.

After fighting for a while, the Demon Ape seemed unable to match the black-scaled pangolin.

At that moment, the Demon Ape pulled a black broadsword from behind its back.

It continuously hacked viciously at the pangolin's back.

The broadsword was indeed sharp. The pangolin, whose defenses had originally been formidable, was immediately struck until its scales flew everywhere.

Su Fang, who was watching from the side, immediately became interested in the broadsword in the Demon Ape's hand.

That broadsword was clearly an exceptionally powerful magic treasure.

It certainly had not been forged by the Demon Ape itself. Perhaps it had casually picked it up from some ruin.

Looks like I can follow that Demon Ape. Su Fang thought.

He then quietly continued watching the battle.

Before long, with the treasured blade in hand, the Demon Ape beat the black-scaled pangolin until it howled miserably. Not long after, it gave up fighting over the blood-red flower.

After the black-scaled pangolin fled in defeat, the Demon Ape contentedly carried the blood-red flower and began returning to its nest.

Seeing this, Su Fang immediately followed after it.

After twisting and turning through the forest for quite a while.

He finally discovered traces of ancient ruins.

Scattered throughout this forest were several broken stone pillars, clearly weathered by countless years.

"There's hope!" Su Fang rejoiced inwardly.

He continued following...

Yet just then, Su Fang suddenly sensed someone watching him. Turning around, he discovered a dim, blurry black shadow.

Su Fang turned around in confusion and moved closer, wanting to see what it was.

Yet strangely, the moment Su Fang approached, the black shadow suddenly vanished.

Su Fang looked astonished.

He carefully surveyed his surroundings and suddenly discovered an ancient statue. It was exceptionally lifelike, as though it were a True Person!

There were two rows of words on the statue, but Su Fang could not recognize them!

Yet he was shocked to discover that an armored warrior was standing beside the statue!

"What exactly is going on? Is this... a temple? Or an ancient tomb? What are these statues? Why do they make people feel such majesty, and such intense pressure?"

"This... could it be a ruin from ancient times? It's possible..."

The questions in Su Fang's heart grew more numerous. Without thinking too much about them, he continued observing the surroundings.

This was an extremely vast place, but stone littered every corner. Some rocks were large, some small; some were even thicker than a person's waist. There were also many gigantic boulders, covered in moss.
