The further we walked, the heavier the pressure of Qi and Blood filled the air.
At first, it was just a layer of resistance, like walking in water, with a bit of stagnation in his movements; later, the pressure almost turned into a substantial force, squeezing him from all directions.
This feeling is completely different from the Gravity field.
The Gravity field presses from the outside inward, oppressing the muscles, bones, skin, and flesh, and the source of this Qi and Blood pressure comes from under his feet. The pure power of Qi and Blood evaporates from the deep red ground of Blood Forest, penetrates into the skin along the pores, and then resonates very delicately with the blood flowing in his body.
Every beat of the heart takes a little more force than usual. The blood flows in the blood vessels thickly and sluggishly, like a semi-solidified river, and the surging power of the limbs has also withered by most.
With every step I take, the feeling of heaviness deepens, and the next step always requires more effort than the previous step.
Qin Tiexin felt like he was not walking on air, but in a mire that was getting deeper and deeper, and the mire was still dragging him down bit by bit.
Fifty steps. Thirty steps. Twenty steps. The closer the distance, the longer it takes.
When we walked about twenty steps away from the fruit tree, Qi and Blood's pressure was so intense that it almost became solid.
The blood mist in the field of vision is no longer erratic, but hangs heavily in mid-air, even the light is bent when passing through it. The ball of Fire of Life in the heart chamber is also greatly affected. The flames curl up into a tiny bright spot, like a candle in the strong wind that may be extinguished at any time. The halo flows extremely slowly under the squeeze of the blood mist.
Qin Tiexin's breathing became heavier. Every time he took a breath, he had to deliberately expand his chest so that his lungs could barely open.
He stopped, slightly adjusted his breathing rhythm, and then activated the silent Spiritual Qi in Dantian, letting a ray of pure spiritual power slowly flow into Fire of Life along the meridians.
Under the catalysis of Spiritual Qi, Fire of Life jumped upwards. The light suddenly became a little brighter, and the flames spread out again. Although they were still suppressed, they at least resumed beating. The blood in his body finally regained a little flow of energy, and a wave of heat surged up in his limbs. Only then did he take steps again and continue walking towards the fruit tree.
The last twenty steps took him almost half the time to burn incense. Each step was very solid, and the blood scab under his feet was stepped on finely, making a thin and monotonous cracking sound.
There is no trace of Demon Beast here, not even a trace of living breath can be sensed.
Qin Tiexin finally understood why the group of Blood-Patterned Wolf stayed on the outside and did not dare to set foot. When they ran away, they ran to both sides of Blood Forest instead of hiding in the depths.
It's not that they don't want to, it's that they simply can't get in. With their cultivation level, once they fall into this Qi and Blood pressure, the blood in their bodies will be stagnated by this resonance. There is no other way except paralysis in place and waiting for death.
He also understood why Blood Demon Fruit seemed to have matured for a long time, but it was still hanging on the branch intact without being picked by any Demon Beast. It wasn't that he didn't want to eat it, but it was simply that he couldn't get in.
But it was precisely because of this that he had the opportunity to pick it.
Qin Tiexin finally walked under the tree, but the first thing that caught his eye was not the heavy fruits on the branches, but a skeleton surrounded by four Blood Demon Fruit Tree trees in the center.
The skeleton was half-buried in the blood scab layer directly below Blood Demon Fruit Tree, with only the upper body above the waist exposed. Its color almost blended into the surrounding dark red blood scab, and it was impossible to tell it apart unless you got closer.
The whole skeleton shows a very light golden color, like bronze that has been faded by time. Thousands of years of time have worn away all the flesh and blood, or in other words, the flesh and blood has been sucked dry by this piece of Blood Forest and fed back into every inch of the foot. Soil. But the lines on the surface of the bones are still clearly visible. They are the "Bone Rune" left on the bones after the Body Refining monks have tempered their bodies to the extreme. Each line is the imprint left by countless temperings.
Qin Tiexin's eyes narrowed.
Pale golden bones are the characteristics of Meridian Unblocking Realm Peak and Body Refining monks who have touched the threshold of Half-Step Golden Body. He himself is a Body Refining monk, and he knows this very well. In other words, the owner of this skeleton had at least Meridian Unblocking Realm Peak in his lifetime cultivation.
It seems that this Blood Forest is most likely the result of the Qi and Blood power in this monk's body that continued to penetrate outwards after his death, slowly infecting such a huge evil land. To be able to dye the entire forest like this, the Qi and Blood power contained in his body during his lifetime must be so majestic.
Qin Tiexin squatted down and took a closer look.
The bones are not intact, and there are three obvious penetrating wounds in the chest. The holes are only as thick as a finger, and the edges are so smooth that they don't look like wounds caused by weapons, but more like some kind of extremely powerful magic that directly penetrated the sternum.
However, for monk Meridian Opening Peak, such an injury is not fatal, not even serious. With the recovery power of monk Body Refining, it can be healed in a few days. The real fatal injury was on the skull. A very deep crack penetrated from the center of the Tianling Cap, penetrated between the eyebrows, split all the way to the occipital bone, and almost split the entire skull in half. The blow was struck from the front of the head, cleanly and without any hesitation.
A broken giant ax was stuck sideways next to the skeleton.
The ax handle is eight feet long, but unfortunately it has been broken into two pieces. The fracture is uneven. It can be seen that it was broken by force after enduring some extremely terrifying force.
The entire ax handle is made of some kind of dark gray spiritual wood. The wood is so fine that you can barely see the growth ring lines. There are several extremely rough Spirit Rune carved on the surface. The lines are hard and there is a fierce murderous aura.
The axe's surface is even wider Heaviness, wider than Qin Tiexin's entire body. The blade is arc-shaped and covered with dense battle traces, criss-crossing it, like a scroll recording countless bloody battles.
Qin Tiexin Use Spirit Material Sense Technique to carefully sweep over the ax surface. The ax body is entirely forged from spiritual materials, and there is even a small amount of precious materials embedded inside. The material is far better than ordinary Law Artifact.
The grade of this ax has exceeded the category of Law Artifact, it can be regarded as a Half-Spirit Artifact. The reason why it is Half-Spirit Artifact and not the real Spirit Artifact is because the ax still has the However, it is Spirit Rune in the Law Artifact stage, not the formation pattern that Spirit Artifact should have. This is also the most essential difference between Law Artifact and Spirit Artifact at the refining level.
But even so, a Half-Spirit Artifact level weapon is definitely a priceless treasure. If placed in any auction, it is the final item that is enough to trigger a scramble.
Qin Tiexin pulled out the broken giant ax from the blood scab. The layers of dark red blood scab condensed on the ax surface peeled off. On the exposed part of the ax handle, three bold and powerful characters were engraved, Earth Splitter Axe.
