Chapter 1044 (2/2)

Bang!

The Exterminating Black Light shot out, hit the death-shield, and dissipated the death-gas in it. The death-shield was not able to stop the Black Light.

Swoosh!

The Black Light pierced through the death-shield and cut across the horizon. It caught up with the Grade Eight beast spirit and struck its head. Although the Grade Eight beast spirit activated its death-gas to form a defense, when the Black Light whizzed past it, its head and neck simply disappeared into thin air.

The Grade Eight beast spirit’s body maintained its running posture. After a while, it swayed and fell down from the sky, breaking a huge tree. The powerful death-gas in its body had completely dissipated, leaving behind a shriveled body.

Nine Nether and the rest were shocked when they saw the helpless Grade Eight beast spirit that had been killed. They gasped after they had collected themselves. It was apparent that they were shocked by Mu Chen’s power.

“This is indeed a treasure with great potential to become a sacred object,” Nine Nether muttered. Although the Grade Eight beast spirit had depleted much energy, the Exterminating Eye was powerful. Its power was many times greater than any of the Quasi-Divine Artifacts that they had. It was apparent that there were different grades in the Quasi-Divine Artifacts.

Mu Chen heaved a sigh of relief when he saw that the Grade Eight beast spirit had been killed. The Exterminating Eye between his brows then gradually closed up. Mu Chen appeared beside the Grade Eight beast spirit and waved his sleeve. The shriveled body turned into ashes and dissipated, leaving behind a black heart. It then rose up slowly.

The black heart contained horrifying death-gas. It was apparent that it had been invaded by a large amount of death-gas over the millennium. The heart of the beast spirit was the key for Mu Chen and his companions to enter into the inner region of the Divine Cemetery. Mu Chen waved his hand and stowed the heart. He then started to relax. He had finally killed the Grade Eight beast spirit after much preparation. The best part of it was that none of his companions had been injured, and probably only the supreme groups would be able to achieve that.

“The Exterminating Eye is so powerful…” Han Shan said and fixed his gaze between Mu Chen’s brows.

“Well, I have paid a high price for it.” Mu Chen smiled helplessly and said, “Every time I activate it, I will need to use 1,000,000 drops of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid. If I activate it a few more times, I will be left with nothing for my cultivation.”

His companions laughed when they heard it. They knew that Mu Chen was just joking. After all, this was a powerful means, and it could help save one’s life. Life was more important than any amount of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.

“Since we have the heart of the beast, let’s go to the inner region,” Mu Chen said as he looked at the mess around him. He could not wait to get into the inner region to verify if the Primordial Undying Bird was truly there.

When his companions heard it, they nodded in agreement. Mu Chen immediately waved his sleeve. He turned into a colorful light and shot out with Nine Nether and the rest following closely behind.

Mu Chen and his companions flew for a few minutes without obstruction. As they flew across the forest, they noticed a strange piece of land.

“What is that?” Nine Nether pointed at the land below. The ground had been destroyed in the forest, and deep cracks were formed. It was apparent that a fierce battle had taken place.

The gouges stretched out to the other side of the forest, and the direction led to the place where Mu Chen had killed the Grade Eight beast spirit. Mu Chen pondered for a while and said, “This must be the place where the Grade Eight beast spirit had been injured previously.”

“From the look of it, it did not fight with the other groups. The death-gas is too thick here. It should be a struggle between the beast spirits,” Ink Blade said, after checking it out.

“Do the beast spirits fight among themselves?” Ink Ring asked, looking shocked.

Mu Chen answered, “They will kill each other for the things they are attracted to.”

Mu Chen looked along the traces on the ground, and suddenly, he dashed up to a mountain. He was shocked as he looked out.

“That is…?”
