Jiang Ziliu had not gone far before he entered a swampy area.

The leaves of the plants here also have a dull yellow color.

The swamp area was vast, and Jiang Ziliu had no choice but to fly over it.

However, in the survival rules of Ancient Battlefield, the best choice is always to walk on the ground rather than fly around in the sky, as this makes one an easy target for certain ferocious creatures.

In the swamp, most dangerous things are hidden underwater, and he also sensed that there were a large number of poisonous creatures in the water's edge of the swamp.

The poisonous flowers and plants in this place, having been corroded by Sha Qi, have long been filled with all sorts of mysterious toxins.

These toxins interact with each other, even promoting each other's evolution; some may even cause Demigod to perish from them.

And the poisonous insects bred from these poisonous flowers and plants may be even more dangerous.

In addition, Demigod Rank Evil God or other types of dangers may be lurking beneath the swamp.

Under such circumstances, high-altitude flight is actually a better option.

After all, there might be more poisonous venom near the swamp.

Jiang Ziliu traversed the swamp at high altitude without encountering any danger from the swamp itself, but he did encounter perilous situations from the space itself.

High in the sky in the center of the swamp, he encountered a Demigod Rank mutated beast.

This is a winged serpentine beast, a mutated product of a strange beast that lost its Wisdom during its evolution into Evil God, but whose life evolution was largely completed.

Although the probability of these mutated ferocious beasts appearing is small, they not only possess absolute instincts, but also powerful innate abilities and terrifying physical strength.

Because of their powerful instincts, their ability to exert combat power is also close to instinctive reactions and choices, making them even more extraordinary.

This is a giant serpent with seven pairs of black wings, three hundred meters long, and a pair of blood-red, curved horns. It is a mutated form of a beast evolving into Evil God.

Its evolution failed, but it survived and has acquired the power of Evil God.

However, its Wisdom did not improve; instead, it disappeared due to evolution.

This mutated, ferocious beast, wielding the twisted power of the Water-Element Rule, launched an attack on Jiang Ziliu.

Despite controlling water, it can forcibly extract water from Jiang Ziliu's body and even transform the water in his body into a water-based toxin that causes toxic damage to Jiang Ziliu's life and soul.

This mutated, ferocious beast has no Wisdom; it only uses this instinctive behavior.

However, this application of power based on life intuition is sometimes more efficient and accurate than the application of power enhanced by Wisdom.

Moreover, these mutated beasts are even more powerful in terms of strength and physical resilience.

Most Demigod would avoid such beings if possible.

Their defenses are so thick that they are difficult to break through, but their sheer power can inflict terrifying damage with just one strike.

Jiang Ziliu encountered this serpentine beast, which possessed immense strength and equally bizarre abilities.

If it weren't for the rule-level earth-defense power on his body, he would be experiencing the strange phenomenon of water poisoning right now.

Its overall combat strength is around the Demigod Seventh Stage.

However, its actual life level is only at the Demigod Second Stage. It is normal for mutated ferocious beasts to have combat power far exceeding their life level.

This kind of ferocious beast progresses very slowly, requiring it to devour large amounts of flesh and blood, as well as souls, in order to complete its own advancement.

However, it is not very Wisdom and prefers to stay in one place to hunt. It generally does not leave its territory easily, so food is scarce and its growth rate is not fast.

Only when they are close to evolving and need a large amount of flesh, blood, and soul as a supplement will these ferocious beasts leave their territory.

Jiang Ziliu didn't expend much effort; he simply used wind magic to enhance his speed and Earth Rule to petrify its flesh and blood, easily killing the ferocious beast.

He didn't even send out his three most frequently used tamed beasts.

After defeating this mutated ferocious beast, Jiang Ziliu received a reward of Karmic Luck from the universe itself.

Unfortunately, this time the reward is only half of the Karmic Luck of a normal Demigod Rank Evil God god.

Moreover, this thing actually had no Soul Crystal residue, which prevented him from using its soul power to create a treasure like Soul Dew.

It's fair to say that fighting this thing resulted in a break-even situation.

Killing an Evil God not only brings Karmic Luck, but also allows you to create Soul Dew – it's a completely profitable action.

Jiang Ziliu felt a sense of unease.

However, the road ahead was equally difficult, as he encountered a large number of these mutated and ferocious beasts.

This place seems to be a paradise for mutated, ferocious beasts.

Various types of mutated and ferocious beasts, such as rats, snakes, tigers, wolves, dogs, and cats, kept appearing, and he encountered a total of thirty-seven of them.

But none of the Demigod Rank Evil God he had been hoping for appeared.

Jiang Ziliu did not choose to fight them, but avoided them as much as possible and kept his distance.

His primary objective remains the pursuit of the Suo Weilan Ya Lineage.

But this was Ancient Battlefield, Jiang Ziliu quickly realized that the dangers here were not limited to Evil God and mutated ferocious beasts.

Just as he passed through a grove of trees, the entire forest went wild.

All the banyan-like plants grew wildly and swayed together, resembling a terrifying sea of snakes made of plants.

They tried to capture Jiang Ziliu, drag him down, and devour him whole.

This is a Evil God plant that has been transformed into a malevolent god. It appears to be a vast forest, but in essence, it is a disguise formed by a super Demigod Rank plant.

Jiang Ziliu used all three of his beasts this time, and finally discovered that the power of lightning was the most effective counter to it.

After destroying the thing, Jiang Ziliu obtained a tree heart.

Although this tree heart originated from this Evil God plant that had been transformed into a malevolent god, it contains fragments of the mysteries of the Rule of Life, making it the best super treasure to help him comprehend the Rule of Life.

By purifying it and removing the Negative Universe influences within, one can obtain a treasure for enlightenment based on specific rules.

The only downside is that this thing is a consumable item and cannot be used indefinitely.

Jiang Ziliu took it into his Divine Kingdom, where the Ancient Tree of Wisdom helped purify it, and then gave it to the Little Life Fairy, Thousand Faces, to use.

This time, Jiang Ziliu obtained a complete Demigod Rank Karmic Luck.

In the eyes of the universe, it is a true Evil God Rank existence.

After this experience, Jiang Ziliu encountered another Demigod Rank illusionary flower sea.

The sea of flowers is so beautiful and enchanting that even the soul of Demigod Rank could be captivated by it, but beneath those endless flowers lie endless skeletons.

This sea of flowers is also a demonized plant transformed into an Evil God.

Next, while crossing a mountain ridge, Jiang Ziliu encountered a terrifying storm, a natural force purely from Ancient Battlefield.

It contained the power of a mutated Wind Element Rule, which nearly blew Jiang Ziliu's soul out of his body and ground it to dust.

This mutated wind was specifically targeting the souls of Demigod Rank.

But it does not cause the slightest harm to beings and souls below the level of Demigod.

The natural environment of the Ancient Battlefield also contained all sorts of terrible dangers.

If it weren't for his powerful divine soul, he might have perished here. Compared to Jiang Ziliu, any other Demigod who entered this mountain storm would absolutely face certain death, their souls sinking into oblivion.

Next, Jiang Ziliu encountered the turbid yellow river that could dissolve the flesh and blood of Demigod Rank, a river from which he still could not fly.

This river contains a mysterious natural death, decay, and the Gravity Rule.

But the most dangerous place is a mysterious plain of withered bones.

This plain possesses a power that can directly draw upon the very essence of human life, as if a mysterious and ferocious creature, yearning for the very essence of life, lurks beneath it.

Had it not been for his intuition for imminent danger, he would have nearly stepped inside.

Along the way, there were constant dangers, but Jiang Ziliu did not encounter many true Evil God evolved from strange beasts.

He guessed that it wasn't that the Evil God had disappeared or ceased to exist, but rather that some mysterious force had attracted them and led them to other places.

This strange phenomenon made Jiang Ziliu realize that the process of finding Forging Throne might not be so smooth.
