Countless figures constantly moved about, and from time to time, rough shouts could be heard. Occasionally, there were even cries and screams mixed in.

Ling Xiao walked closer. In the undulating stone forest, there was a wide valley. Looking from top to bottom, it looked like the bottom of a bowl. The sound came from the valley.

Ling Xiao finally remembered where they were.

Outside of Kata City, there were dozens of other small towns. This was one of them, because there were a lot of phosphorous rock mines nearby that were famous, and the whole town's people lived off of them. There were also many ordinary people and low leveled Martial Cultivator who could not live through Kata City and came to the mines built by the various great powers to work.

Martha often cared about these lower class people and introduced them to Levi Family's mine. The original owner almost came here, but the mine's management was extremely strict. It was difficult for one to even enter or leave the mine, so the original owner rejected after hesitating for a while.

At this moment, what was supposed to be a dark valley was filled with flames that soared into the sky, staining the entire valley red. Ling Xiao broke out in a cold sweat as he looked carefully.

Those in gray were driving a group of living creatures into the furnace at the bottom of the valley!

The furnace that took up more than half of the valley swallowed its flames like a bloody mouth. In the blink of an eye, it had devoured all the crying creatures, leaving not a single scrap behind.

What were these people doing?

The situation below was very strange. Gayaro also saw the same scene and immediately stopped talking. Powerful inner strength silently surged out, concealing the aura around Ling Xiao even more thoroughly.

Ling Xiao thanked him in silence and slowly approached the bottom of the valley.

The closer he got, the more furious he became.

This was because he noticed that not only were the Savage Beast s the ones pushed into the furnace, there were also ordinary people and the Martial Cultivator s. Ling Xiao had even discovered a First Level of Martial Soldier s, but these people that were powerful enough to show off their strength in Kata City, in this place, could only be like an animal who was mercilessly pushed down.

Who was it that could be so powerful and not care about the lives of so many people? And this even included so many Martial Cultivator!

Ling Xiao had a nagging feeling that their actions might be related to sending out death warriors to kill him.

After sliding down the valley, Ling Xiao was finally able to raise his head and take a good look at the entire appearance of this colossus. The entire shape of the furnace looked like a funnel, getting smaller and smaller. At the bottom end, there was a thumb-sized exit, which was slowly dripping with milky white liquid.

The red liquid rolled endlessly inside the furnace, and then continuously poured down from the other hole, flowing out of the valley through the man-made channel.

Ling Xiao frowned. His specially trained agility worked at this moment. He stared at the white liquid that was slowly dripping and agreed with Gayaro. ”The essence of heaven and earth!”

They were artificially creating the essence of the world!

In an instant, Ling Xiao revealed the entire truth based on the current situation.

In order to obtain the Heaven and Earth Essence, a force had set up a mine in this remote town. In reality, they had thrown all the captured people and beasts into a huge furnace, and when their bodies melted in the high temperature, the Inner Bead would naturally fall and the Qi of Heaven and Earth would be compressed to the extreme to form the Heaven and Earth Essence.

It was obvious that those who spent such a huge amount for the essence of heaven and earth must have some other scheme. Therefore, Ling Xiao, who wielded a large amount of the essence of heaven and earth, became a thorn in the eye for them to eliminate!

Since there was no way to save the Inner Bead, he chose to fill it up with his life just for a drop of the essence of heaven and earth.
