Chapter 838 - Refining the Fallen Origin Pellets

When the last batch of people left, Mu Chen and Nine Nether descended from the sky and hovered outside this black-coloured wetland.

The black mist in this wetland contained a faint fishy smell. It was clearly poisonous. Furthermore, there were black figures flashing about within the depths of the wetland, with a dangerous feeling emitting from them.

Mu Chen and Nine Nether exchanged a look, then waved their hands, commanding the Nine Nether Troop to come forth. They landed in an orderly fashion around the wetland.

“You guys will guard outside here and do not let anyone interrupt us.” Mu Chen instructed. This sort of place didn’t mean that it would be better in bigger numbers. Therefore, it was more appropriate for him to instruct the Nine Nether Troop to guard outside the wetland.

“Yes!”

The few thousand warriors of the Nine Nether Troop let out an orderly roar that sounded like thunder, causing the land to slightly tremble.

“Let’s go!”

Mu Chen and Nine Nether looked at each other and nodded their heads. Their figures had turned into streaks of light as they flew out, tearing the black poisonous mist apart, and swiftly bolted towards the ruin in the depths of the wetland.

Boundless Spiritual Energy fluctuated around the two of them and there were purple flames ablaze, incinerating the approaching poisonous mist. The poisonous mist in the wetland was indeed ferocious, but since the two of them had the protection of the Undying Flames, there was no threat posed to them.

Whoosh!

The two of them opened their speeds to the limits. Although they had managed to frighten the previous crowd to leave, that could not guarantee that the other forces would not discover this ruin. Therefore, to prevent unforeseen events from occurring, it’s best for them to swiftly refine the Origin Fallen Pellets from this Grade-3 Ruin.

Boom!

As the two of them swiftly entered into the depths of this wetland, a dark light suddenly burst out from the swamp and a surging fishy smell swept towards the two of them.

Nine Nether maintained a calm expression as she flicked her finger, causing a Spiritual Energy black feather that was blazing with purple flames to burst out. The purple flames quickly entered the dark light and instantly evaporated it.

When the dark light evaporated, Mu Chen was able to see a black poisonous alligator with an extremely ugly appearance and saliva dripping from its mouth. Judging from the violent Spiritual Energy around it, it was actually an ominous beast.

Casually killing the black poisonous alligator with a flip of her hand, there wasn’t any joy on Nine Nether’s face, but she had knitted her brows. Mu Chen, who was beside her, had also frowned his brows.

That’s because, at this moment, this region of the swamp suddenly started to tremble with innumerable flickers of dark light. Looking over, there were densely-packed black poisonous alligators popping out, their scarlet eyes fixed onto Mu Chen and Nine Nether.

The number of poisonous alligators was immeasurable. Although the two of them wouldn’t fear those alligators, the speed of them refining the Fallen Origin Pellets would greatly fall upon being hindered by them.

“What should we do?” Mu Chen looked at Nine Nether. Judging from the looks of this, they could probably only slaughter their way in.

Nine Nether briefly pondered, before she gently stomped her feet and the boundless Spiritual Energy formed into a huge Nine Netherworld Bird behind her, with a Divine Beast’s pressure spreading out.

Sensing the Divine Beast’s pressure from the Nine Netherworld Bird, a disturbance happened with those poisonous alligators and they started to move backwards in fear. Although they did not possess high intelligence, they could vaguely sense that the pressure was not something that they could contend against.

Watching the scene, Mu Chen’s eyes lit up as he took a step forth. The Spirit of the True Dragon and Phoenix on his chest and back started to glow with a golden light and an extremely powerful pressure spread out.

When his pressure spread out, those poisonous alligators became fearful and frantically retreated. The pressure from the Spirit of the True Dragon and Phoenix was even stronger than the Nine Netherworld Bird, from a certain degree. After all, the ranking of the Nine Netherworld Bird was below the True Dragon and Phoenix on the Myriad Beast Records. The Nine Netherworld Bird needed to undergo another evolution and become the legendary Undying Bird, only then could it suppress the True Phoenix and Dragon.

In less than a few dozen breaths, the multitude of poisonous alligators had fled under their pressure.

Mu Chen smiled with his eyes narrowed as he turned around and looked at Nine Nether. “How is it?”

Nine Nether had an annoyed expression as she cast a glance at Mu Chen, who was being slightly smug. But, she had to admit that with the Spirit of the True Dragon and Phoenix, he had exceeded her in terms of Divine Beast pressure.

Nine Nether had an extremely complicated feeling towards this. Unknowingly, the feeble youth in her eyes had started to catch up to her steps and was gradually showing his lustre.

At the same time, when Nine Nether felt gratified, it made her feel depressed. Perhaps not long from now, she wouldn’t be able to lecture him like she did now.

It looked like she also had to increase the speed of her cultivation.

“Wait till I awaken the Bloodline of the Undying Bird, then your Spirit of the True Dragon and Phoenix would be nothing.” A thought flashed across Nine Nether’s heart as the corner of her lips gently rose, then she said with disdain.

Mu Chen smiled, he knew how prideful Nine Nether was and that she would not admit defeat, even a little. Therefore, he did not tease her too much. He waved his hand and flew out.

As they headed deeper into the wetland, Mu Chen and Nine Nether finally realised how many ominous beasts were hidden in this place. But, fortunately, the Divine Beast pressure that the two of them had managed to save them a lot of time, paying the smallest price to pass through the obstruction of those beasts.

Roughly ten minutes later, they started to slow down because they could see the outline of an ancient palace in the poisonous mist.

Whoosh!

Two streaks of light flew past, causing the poisonous mist to completely disappear, as if it was completely blocked out. The sight of Mu Chen and Nine Nether had swiftly cleared up as well.

They were stunned as they looked up ahead. It was a wide ruined land with tattered and broken palaces that could be seen. An ancient desolate sensation seemed to have pierced through space, as if it came from the primordial age, causing the two of them to hold their breaths.

“Let’s get ready.”

Nine Nether swiftly recovered from this and looked at Mu Chen. “We’ll split up and work as swiftly as we can. Are there any problems?”

Mu Chen smiled as he made a hand signal. There weren’t any complicated requirements to refine the Fallen Origin Pellets. As long as one had at least the cultivation of a Third Grade Sovereign, they could accomplish it, but it was just a matter of efficiency.

Seeing Mu Chen agreeing, Nine Nether moved and immediately charged towards a palace.

Mu Chen also did not make any delays. He turned around towards another tattered palace. In the palace, he could see the bones left on the grounds. There were all kinds of bones, but the owners of those bones had clearly fought till the very end.

After tens of thousands of years, this entire palace still emmanated a tragic sensation.

Mu Chen’s expression was solemn at this sight. He made a bow towards those bones. No matter what, these people had died for the Great Thousand World.

“I apologize beforehand!”

Mu Chen gently gently said, before his figure flashed and appeared on top of a stone pillar. Both of his hands formed seals and boundless Spiritual Energy formed into a huge vortex in his palms, with the suction force spreading out.

Fragments of stones started to roll as strands of black aura seeped out from those bones, turning into black beams of light, and were sucked into the vortex near Mu Chen’s palms.

That black aura was the Fallen Origin Aura, a bizarre energy formed from the fusion of the Sovereign Sea of these fallen experts and the special energy in the Fallen Battlefield.

The black aura swiftly gathered within the Spiritual Energy vortex. When the black aura was refined to a limit, a smear of dark light had actually soared into the sky from the Spiritual Energy vortex.

Mu Chen made a grabbing gesture and the dark light descended, then floated before him. Casting his gaze over, he saw a round object that was roughly the size of longans. It was black and emitted similar fluctuations with the Fallen Origin Aura.

This was the Fallen Origin Pellet, the most important resource in this Fallen Battlefield.

Mu Chen waved his sleeves and stored that Fallen Origin Pellet before circulating his Spiritual Energy and continued sucking the Fallen Origin Aura in this palace.

With all the remaining Fallen Origin Aura in this palace, Mu Chen refined another five Fallen Origin Pellets. When the fifth one was formed, the white bones in the palace started to turn to ash. That was because the Spiritual Energy in them had been completely drained.

Watching the sight of this, Mu Chen gently sighed, then waved his hand and the ashes in this palace had whistled before forming into numerous plaques and he neatly piled them up on the ground.

Finishing all these, Mu Chen gave another bow before leaving this palace and swiftly headed towards another location.

For the next half-hour, Mu Chen had went through roughly 18 palaces, and the result was a total of 53 Fallen Origin Pellets. It could be considered as a considerable harvest.

Deep in the ruin, Mu Chen entered the last tattered palace and gave a bow out of habit. Just when he was about to refine the Fallen Origin Pellets, his expression suddenly changed and the Spiritual Energy violently surged around him.

His gaze was fixed deep in the palace. There weren’t many bones, there was only a praying mat at the end of the hall with a grey-robed figure seated on it. The grey-robed figure quietly sat there, alone, as if he had been there for an eternity.

Mu Chen looked at the grey-robed figure and his pupils abruptly narrowed. There’s actually someone still alive here?
