Saint Emperor Devourer of Heaven

Looking down from the edge of the abyss, it was pitch black, and nothing could be seen.

As they descended, the situation changed near the bottom.

Light began to appear below, and although it was dim, they could finally see clearly.

Upon reaching the bottom of the abyss, they found a relatively spacious area.

The world was dim, gloomy, and oppressive. Amidst the swirling mist, they could vaguely see a cluster of dark-colored buildings at the end of their sight.

The area where those buildings were located was shrouded in even thicker mist.

Jun Wuxie and Yue Yao moved forward, and before long, they saw numerous cracks in the ground. In some places, entire chunks of earth were tilted upwards or even overturned.

As far as the eye could see, there were many deep pits.

These were all traces left by battles.

This place was once a stronghold of the forces that attacked Changsheng Valley, and it was no ordinary place.

Within it, the earth was protected by a special field, making it very tough and difficult to destroy.

The scene before them was enough to show how intense the battles that took place here were back then.

As they continued to venture deeper, a bloody scent gradually filled the air.

It was a bloody scent that evoked a sense of antiquity, as if it had been沉淀 for ages.

"The special earth field envelops this place, preventing the scent from dissipating for eternity. It remains even now."

Jun Wuxie surveyed his surroundings, also sensing the evil and chilling aura that surged towards them like a tide.

The entire abyss was submerged in that aura.

Before long, they finally saw the source of the evil and chilling aura.

It was the experts of Changsheng Valley who had been devoured by the curse, both men and women, all with high cultivation levels.

There were quite a few experts in the Ancestral God Realm, and countless below it. Just within sight, there were already hundreds.

Those Changsheng Valley experts who had been devoured by the curse were now staring at him and Yue Yao with blood-red eyes.

Immediately, those cursed experts emitted a chilling sound and disappeared together.

Almost simultaneously, terrifying figures appeared from all directions.

Yue Yao's gaze swept across, her divine power like a sea, a round of Taiyin Divine Moon hanging high, scattering endless moonlight.

In an instant, all the Changsheng Valley experts who had been devoured by the curse froze.

They were imprisoned.

Facing a powerhouse like Yue Yao, even if these吞噬 people from Changsheng Valley had high cultivation levels and were numerous, they were no match at all, and had no power to resist.

The curse within their bodies was not as potent as the curses of the successive Divine Maidens.

In the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, Yue Yao's Taiyin Moonlight had cleansed the curse within them completely.

Each of the Changsheng Valley吞噬 people's bodies sizzled and emitted black smoke, making a series of shrill, piercing sounds.

But soon everything calmed down.

All the cursed experts lost their strength at that moment, collapsing on the ground, never to move again.

Their bodies withered in sequence.

In a short moment, they seemed to have turned into dried corpses that had been desiccated for eternity.

They had long since died. The reason they could still move was because the power of the curse within them was at work, controlling their bodies and manipulating their power.

Now that the power of the curse had vanished, the dead body naturally could not move.

Moreover, because there was no power of the curse controlling the body, the洞天 within it could not be preserved and withered on the spot.

If it were a powerhouse who had just died, the 洞天 would not wither so quickly.

Some powerhouses could even maintain their 洞天 divine power for a very long time.

But these powerhouses from Changsheng Valley were different.

They had existed for too long, and their 洞天 should have withered long ago.

Seeing this, Jun Wuxie immediately used his 袖里乾坤 divine ability to collect all these remains.

Continuing forward, near and inside the stronghold's buildings, they encountered more Changsheng Valley experts who had been devoured by the curse.

Yue Yao's methods were more than enough to deal with them. Along the way, she obliterated the power of the curse within them, allowing them to be freed.

Besides these, they also saw a large number of experts from the mysterious forces.

These experts had very high cultivation levels, and some divine nature within their divine bones had not completely dissipated.

Bones were the least likely parts of a divine realm expert to decay.

Although there was only a little divine nature left, because their cultivation level was high enough, it was still of great value to Jun Wuxie.

Along the way, he continued to pick up corpses, having already obtained thousands of divine corpses.

Of course, he did not directly pick up the divine corpses, but stripped off all their flesh, leaving only the crystalline bones.

These divine bones could be used to refine a large number of divine artifacts, which would definitely be useful for the 末世洪流.

Not to mention the treasure vault of the mysterious forces' stronghold, these divine bones alone were already a huge harvest.

Before long, he and Yue Yao searched the entire bottom of the abyss.

All the cursed experts of Changsheng Valley here were freed, and their remains were collected into his 袖里乾坤.

Finally, he and Yue Yao arrived in front of an ancient hall door at the deepest part of the stronghold.

This ancient hall was built into the stone wall of the abyss.

On both sides of the ancient hall were strange beasts carved from bluestone, which looked very eerie, making this place very gloomy.

Jun Wuxie flicked a strand of finger芒 forward, and ripples immediately appeared in front.

That was a forbidden结界. If it could not be broken, they could not enter the treasure vault.

"公子, this stronghold's treasure vault's禁制 is very strong. Our people tried to open it in the past, but failed.

At that time, the situation was very bad. We were all entangled in curses, and it had reached a point where it was difficult to suppress. We could not continue breaking the 禁制 for a long time.

Today, after 万古, the effect of this禁制 should have been reduced a lot. If Yue Yao takes action, she will definitely be able to破 解 it."

Su Lan's weak voice came from within the 八九玄殿.

Jun Wuxie nodded and immediately signaled to Yue Yao.

Yue Yao urged the Taiyin Divine Moon to bombard the 禁制.

With continuous attacks, the energy of the 禁制结界 was consumed quickly, and a large number of divine runes on it were obliterated.

Finally, the 禁制结界 shattered like a glass罩子 filled with cracks.

All the runes on the hall door collapsed at this moment, changing from brilliant light to dim and dull.

Jun Wuxie waved his sleeve, and the Chaotic Golden Blood Qi surged,撞 开 the door.

In an instant, an aura of time rushed towards them, like a long river of time卷动 with waves,冲击 their bodies with the aura of逝去 years.

"Why is it so dim inside?"

Jun Wuxie could not help but be a little surprised.

After the door was opened, there was only faint light inside the treasure vault.

This showed that there were probably not a large number of resources stored inside.

Otherwise, the light of the resources would be particularly璀璨, and dazzling divine华 would bloom the moment the door was opened.

Obviously, the scene before them was not like this.

He and Yue Yao walked in side by side.

The ancient hall was very空旷. At a glance, you really could not see any resources.

"This… It seems that the mysterious forces搬空 the treasure vault in advance back then.

They were cautious in their actions, and did not leave behind even a little resource?"

Su Lan looked at this scene in the 八九玄殿 and could not help but feel disappointed.

The strength of this stronghold of the mysterious forces was strong. In theory, there should be a lot of high-grade resources and materials inside the treasure vault.

"No, this is just a stronghold, which is different from the宗门 or family branches of other forces."

Jun Wuxie pointed to the stone架子 along the edge of the hall. There were many semi-circular凹坑 on the架子.

Those凹坑 looked only the size of a face盆, but in reality, they were not. They were铭刻 with space runes and could store many things.

Although they were empty, they could still sense the residual aura.

"These round pits on the架子 should be the places where the mysterious forces used to store resources.

Now, there is still a faint smell of pills and herbs left.

Their whereabouts are隐秘, and they are just a stronghold here, so the confidentiality is very high.

Therefore, it is very likely that they do not engage in any business. Only this separate stronghold exists.

Then, the source of resources is not something they can control themselves, but is supplied by the headquarters regularly.

In this way, there will naturally not be much surplus.

Back then, when you攻打 here, they were originally no match, and it was only by relying on the power of the curse that the众 powerhouse of Changsheng Valley paid a heavy price.

Before the battle, all the resources here should have been分配 to everyone in the mysterious forces.

Those resources must have been消耗一空 in the battle.

But not all resources were消耗.

At that time, the situation was more urgent. Perhaps they left something important here. It's hard to say."

Jun Wuxie said as he walked to the deepest part of the treasure vault.

There was a jade stone table with a box on it.

The box was镂刻 with beautiful patterns, and the box flowed with a faint light.

There was a 禁制 on the box, and it was a very profound 禁制.

However, because the past years were too long, the effect of that profound 禁制 has been greatly reduced.

"瑶儿, open it and see what's inside."

Jun Wuxie was a little curious.

In this treasure vault, it was stored separately in a jade stone box and施加 a profound封印. It can be seen that the things hidden inside the box must be extraordinary, and are things that the stronghold powerhouses of the mysterious forces value very much.

The box still has a intact 禁制, which can also show that it has not been opened that year.

It also means that the powerhouses of this stronghold did not open this box and did not take out the things inside when they entered this treasure vault for the last time.

Yue Yao immediately took action when she heard this.

Her movements were relatively light and very careful, so as not to damage the box or damage the things inside.

Therefore, she spent a lot of time.

It took Yue Yao a full half an hour to磨灭 the 禁制 on the jade stone box.

The moment the jade stone box was opened, a片 Purple Golden Divine Light绽放.

At the same time, a fragrant and alluring aroma overflowed, filling the entire room with its scent.

The fragrance was incredibly rich, yet not at all cloying.

They saw clearly that lying inside the jade box was a fruit, only the size of a walnut, with a purple-golden hue throughout.

The surface of the fruit was covered in natural纹络, and the fragrance was so wonderful that it made one involuntarily swallow saliva, wanting to devour it in one bite.

However, in the next moment, both Yue Yao and Su Lan were shocked.

In that instant, they no longer found the fragrance of the fruit alluring.

"It's actually a Devil Fruit!"

Yue Yao, with her extensive knowledge, recognized it at a glance.

Su Lan was the same.

She had been a goddess in the Longevity Valley for many years.

During those long years, she cultivated the Longevity Valley's techniques and studied the Dao of medicine, naturally gaining an understanding of all kinds of rare and exotic herbs in the world.

This fruit appeared beautiful and fragrant, but in reality, it was extremely dangerous.

If one were deceived by its appearance and consumed it, one's mind would be slowly influenced by the fruit, turning them into a bloodthirsty demon.

However, this fruit also had great benefits, which was that it could enhance the intensity of one's talent growth and help those with extremely high Divine Forbidden Domains make breakthroughs.

Even at the level of a Hundred Lifetimes Myth, this fruit still had excellent effects.

In the Hundred Lifetimes Myth domain, the higher the level, the greater the value of the Devil Fruit.

This was because the higher the level, the more difficult it was to improve, and the higher the quality requirements for Divine Forbidden Fruit type fruits.

However, the Devil Fruit could allow even those in the late stage of the Hundred Lifetimes Myth to obtain a very high improvement!

"No wonder they didn't open the box back then and take out this fruit.

It turns out it's a Devil Fruit. For them, this fruit is just a chicken rib, and they dare not use it.

However, for me, it is a peerless divine fruit."

Jun Wu Xie couldn't help but smile.

He really didn't expect that in this empty treasure house, he could actually obtain such a fruit.

Others dared not use it, but that didn't mean he couldn't.

He only needed to use the World-Grinding Wheel to grind and purify it, and he could completely remove all the negative power within the Devil Fruit.

In this way, only the essence of the Devil Fruit would be left.

At his current level, the Divine Forbidden Domain was difficult to improve, and each level he went up, the difficulty would increase greatly.

After he broke through from the fifth level to the sixth level, going from the sixth level to the seventh level was much more difficult than going from the fifth to the sixth level.

This was because the quality of the world's rare treasures required had increased.

Not to mention in the Holy Spirit World, even in the cosmic environment of the God Ancient World, such resources were lacking, and they were hard to find for thousands of years, unless there was a great opportunity, otherwise don't even think about it.

Even if he encountered them, they would be accompanied by great dangers, and it was still uncertain whether he could get them.
