It was pitch-black in the ruins of the ancient battlefield!
Xu Que and his teammates had passed the altar and reached the other side of the river smoothly. There were still some hot pot ingredients left by Buttface and Duan Jiude on the ground, as well as some messy footprints leading to different directions.
However, there was a pile of feces hidden in the corner of one of the walls. A paw print was left by a dog in front of them.
Xu Que glanced at it calmly. Then, he pointed in the direction of the wall and walked forward.
Bai Cailing and her companions followed Xu Que without any hesitation. The rest of the people hesitated for a moment before following Xu Que.
After a short while, the passage in front of them became more spacious. At last, they arrived at an extremely spacious Taoist Sanctum!
The entire Taoist Sanctum was quite shabby. The ground was full of potholes and even some weapons and magic artifacts were scattered on the ground.
Apparently, a great war had taken place here a long time ago. Even the corpses and skeletons had been turned into fertile soil by the passage of time.
In front of the Taoist Sanctum, there were hundreds of ancient buildings scattered here. However, they were also dilapidated. Some of the buildings only had half of their pillars and broken walls left. Some of the buildings had collapsed and were covered with spider webs!
"This place used to be a sect?" someone asked in surprise.
Apparently, this place used to be the mountain gate of a sect. But in the end, it had become a battlefield during the great war between deities. It had been bombed into ruins and sunk into the ground until Buttface and Duan Jiude had dug it out.
"Elder Xu, there are some footprints leading to that direction!" Bai Cailing said to Xu Que at this time, pointing to the south of the Taoist Sanctum.
Xu Que looked in that direction and found the footprints of Buttface and Duan Jiude on the ground of the Taoist Sanctum. They passed through the Taoist Sanctum and headed to the ruins of the houses in the south.
There was nothing special about the house in that direction, but from the footprints of Buttface and Duan Jiude, it seemed that the two of them had headed straight for that direction, and had not considered going to other places to take a look.
This made Xu Que feel that Buttface and Duan Jiude must have obtained some sort of map to guide them. Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to understand this place so well.
"Follow the footprints. Also, don't touch other things and don't wander around. This place is not simple!"
Xu Que said in a deep voice and took the lead to step on Buttface's footprints.
The rest of the people nodded in agreement. This place was indeed not simple. The weapons and celestial artifacts scattered around the Taoist Sanctum were all filled with Death Qi. Moreover, countless experts and mighty figures had died on this land, and their bodies had all been digested here. With the strength of this group of people, if they stepped on this land, the consequences would be dire!
Boom!
However, when Xu Que had just stepped on the Taoist Sanctum, a loud bang came in from ahead of them. Then, flames soared into the sky, and the entire Taoist Sanctum was illuminated by the blazing red light.
After that, Xu Que saw Buttface, Duan Jiude, and the rest of the people fleeing from that place in panic.
Among those figures, Xu Que saw Mo Junchen, who was following Buttface, but he didn't see Ryu Jingning. He couldn't help but widen his eyes and dashed forward directly.
"What? Someone is coming in! "
As Duan Jiude was dashing forward, he saw Xu Que's figure and Bai Cailing and the rest of the people standing behind Xu Que, and he couldn't help but be surprised. "Heh!
Who is this old man? He is just at the Half Celestial Stage. How dare he run toward us alone? " Buttface looked at Xu Que and laughed sarcastically. Then, he waved his paw and said, "Guardian Mo, kill this old man quickly!"
Hearing that, Mo Junchen made a magic seal with both hands and was about to use a magic art.
However, Xu Que had already dashed toward them. Mo Junchen was stunned by the two dazzling golden words "Holy Physique" on his chest. So, he stopped his attack.
"Buttface, the Heavenly King Overpowers the Earthly Tiger!" Xu Que lowered his voice and said seriously.
"The Jade Emperor Overpowers the Queen Mother!" Buttface blurted out. Then, he widened his eyes and shouted, "Holy sh * t! There is no need to fight him! He is one of us!"
"Damn! This guy is playing disguise again!" Duan Jiude cursed in a low voice.
Mo Junchen understood tacitly. He had figured out Xu Que's identity from the two words on the chest of the "old man" in front of him.
They sped up and arrived in front of Xu Que. Then, they looked at Bai Cailing and her companions, who were not far behind them.
"Little brat, why did you bring them here?" Buttface asked in a low voice.
Xu Que frowned and shook his head. He didn't answer Buttface's question. Instead, he asked seriously, "Where is Ryu Jingning?"
"Little brat, don't worry! She is healing her wounds in the small room behind us. She is very safe. We left the footprints to cover her!" Buttface said with a smile.
Xu Que let out a sigh of relief. At the same time, he looked at the ruins in front of him, which were ablaze with flames as if a volcano had erupted. He frowned and said, "What the hell are you doing? What happened in that place? "
"Nothing. I just feel unlucky. I have suffered a great loss this time. I missed a Holy Artifact!" Buttface put on a long face and was extremely upset.
Holy … Holy Artifact?
Damn it!
Xu Que's eyes widened and he almost punched Buttface to death.
It turned out that Buttface and Duan Jiude were planning to get a Holy Artifact. That was why they left him behind and came here secretly.
Now, it was obvious that they had failed to get the treasure. They had gone for wool and come home shorn. They had lost a Holy Artifact!
A Holy Artifact!
It was an item used by deities, which was more powerful than any Celestial Artifact!
Xu Que felt his heart was bleeding. If Buttface didn't hide it from him, he might have gotten this Holy Artifact!
"Nonsense! That thing doesn't exist at all! It was destroyed long ago! I can't take it away! I almost lost my life there!" Duan Jiude said as he rolled his eyes at this time.
He had just escaped from death, so he was still scared.
Mo Junchen also said regretfully, shaking his head, "I thought I would have a chance to see the legendary Holy Artifact. It was a pity that the Holy Artifact was destroyed long ago. As soon as we approached it, it disappeared with the wind!"
"Damn! What did you find?" Xu Que asked with his eyes wide open.
He was really confused. These three guys said there was a Holy Artifact, and then they said it didn't exist. He couldn't understand what they were talking about.
"The Heaven and Earth Furnace, the Natal Divine Artifact of an ancient King Refiner of the Inferior Artifact. We thought we had found a treasure. I didn't expect it to be destroyed long ago. We couldn't keep it!" Buttface said regretfully.
Then, Duan Jiude also shook his head and said, "We got an ancient scroll, which was left by a man who survived this place. He said he had seen a Ninth-Grade King of Refiners die here, and the Heaven and Earth Furnace also fell in the ruins. That man was busy running for his life at that time, so he didn't take the Heaven and Earth Furnace with him. Then he hid himself to heal his wounds. Because his wounds were too serious, he died in less than ten days. Before he died, he left this ancient scroll, which recorded his regret. So, we came here not to covet any Holy Artifact, but to help that man solve his regret! "
"Solve my ass! What's the situation with that Holy Artifact? "Xu Que said as he rolled his eyes.
"Don't mention it. We bypassed the altar with the help of Guardian Mo. It was not easy to find this place. However, the Heaven and Earth Furnace had been destroyed long ago, and only its shell was left. As soon as we pushed the door open, the Heaven and Earth Furnace was blown up by the wind!" Duan Jiude shook his head and said.
Mo Junchen also sighed, "Alas, it's really a pity. Although the Heaven and Earth Furnace was destroyed, these flames are also precious treasures. The Natal Divine Fire of the Ninth Grade King of Refiners was stored in the Heaven and Earth Furnace and nurtured for so many years. It's really a pity to let it go like this!"
"Can't we collect it?" Xu Que asked.
The Natal Divine Fire of a Ninth Grade King of Refiners was indeed very precious. Its power was even stronger than that of the Mystical Fire. Not only could it melt all kinds of divine-level materials, but it could also burn a Golden Immortal of the Great All-Embracing Heaven into ashes on the spot.
After all, those who could reach the Ninth Grade King of Refiners were close to the Divine Spirit or even at the Divine Spirit Level, which was several realms higher than the Golden Immortal of the Great All-Embracing Heaven!
Mo Junchen was just a First Grade King of Refiners, a weakling among the King Refiners. At most, he could refine a Middle-grade Celestial Artifact, which was far inferior to the Ninth Grade King of Refiners. There was a gap of eight grades between them!
"We can't collect it!" Mo Junchen shook his head and said with a wry smile, "Unless we also have a high-grade Divine Artifact, it's impossible for us to collect this Divine Fire!"
When he spoke up to here, Mo Junchen gazed at the flames with reluctance on his face, and he sighed. "What a pity. If I had other precious materials in my possession, then I would seize the opportunity before the divine flames are extinguished to melt and temper them!"
"Eh? What did you say? You can refine weapons with this Divine Fire? "Hearing this, Xu Que's eyes lit up.
The next moment, he waved his hand and took out a thick and big stick from his crotch.
It was the broken halberd he had obtained from Liu Wenfeng in the Lost World. The body of the halberd was made of Purple Sky Age Metal, which contained a lot of Terrifying Spiritual Qi. It was a rare treasure!
