The Desolate World was barren.
The sky was yellow, and the ground was red. There were no clouds in the sky, no rivers on the ground, and no day and night could be distinguished.
However, living beings and floating buildings miraculously appeared in this deathly silent world.
The huge cities floating in the sky were the Sacred Alliance's base of operations in this Desolate World.
Although these buildings were dazzling and majestic, they had an unsettling name: "Bottom of the Banishment Prison"!
The Bottom of the Banishment Prison was where the Elders and disciples of the Sacred Alliance who had committed crimes were imprisoned.
However, one shouldn't be naive enough to think that there were only people from the Sacred Alliance here. In fact, most of the people imprisoned here weren't from the Sacred Alliance.
However, all of them had one thing in common, which was that they had huge conflicts with the Sacred Alliance and were ultimately defeated by the Sacred Alliance.
Regardless of whether they were criminals of the Sacred Alliance or past enemies of the Sacred Alliance, they had to face the same treatment here.
Extracting the "Power of Life"!
The vast world was filled with the aura of death and the Power of Death permeated every corner of the land.
However, the extremely precious Power of Life could only be found in a bottomless canyon.
The canyon was filled with a pungent smell. This was the Power of Death, a terrifying gas that could easily take the lives of Asura Battle Souls and even Asura Battle Generals.
At that moment, there were close to 100 Asura Battle Kings outside the canyon. They stared fiercely at the bottom of the canyon, monitoring everything below. With their perception, nothing could escape their eyes.
Within the canyon, countless figures were strolling about.
Each of these people held a gourd-like object in their hands. The surface of the gourd was engraved with runes, and a faint blue light circulated around it like stars. Moreover, the white surface of the gourd was embedded with 10 red gems, some of which were emitting a faint glow.
These people lingered in the canyon like ghosts. While avoiding the drifting Power of Death, they also expanded their souls to the limit and scanned the dark surroundings with their eyes.
Swoosh.
Suddenly, a faint green light shot out from the bottom of the canyon like a meteor.
When the ray of light appeared, everyone rushed towards it as if they had gone crazy.
In the end, a mid-rank Asura Battle General flew to the light first, and with a flip of his hand, he caught the light and put it away.
At this moment, the ten gems on the Middle Rank Asura General's gourd had all lit up, and a satisfied smile appeared on his dark yellow face.
Then, with a leap, like a dragon soaring into the sky, he dashed towards the entrance of the canyon.
"Sigh, in this place, we still have to rely on our strength to speak!"
Envy surged in the eyes of many people as they watched that person leave. Then, they continued to search nervously, as if they did not want to waste any time.
"The power of survival. This feeling is getting stronger and stronger. It seems like it is what I have been looking for."
In the corner of the crowd, there was an inconspicuous figure. However, his soul was the most powerful person in the canyon. He was Xing Jue.
This was the first time Xing Jue had harvested the power of survival after coming to the Exile Prison. Their mission was to fill up their gourds, or else they would not be allowed to leave.
Because of this, many people could not wait to complete this mission. Even if they did not come into contact with the power of death in the canyon, they would still be corroded if they stayed there for a long time, and their lives would be in danger if they stayed there for too long.
However, unlike them, Xing Jue was not in a hurry to harvest the power of survival. This was because he was looking for something — the source of the power of survival.
It was an object that could change Xing Jue's strength, and even change Xing Jue's fate. It was the Spiritual Pearl of Heaven and Earth.
Time passed bit by bit. More and more people completed their harvesting missions and began to leave the dark canyon.
After a large number of people gradually left, the canyon became quieter and more eerie.
While the crowd was leaving, Xing Jue began to dive towards the bottomless canyon. The object that made his soul thump was hidden there.
"Brother, don't go any deeper. If you go any deeper, you will touch the boundary of death!"
However, at this moment, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Xing Jue. It was a skinny man with a dark complexion.
The man looked to be in his thirties, but he had the strength of a Beginner Asura Fighting Soul.
When Xing Jue saw the man, he could not help but be stunned. In fact, with Xing Jue's strength, he had long sensed the man's existence.
As for why he was shocked, it was because the gourd in the man's hand was already full.
In this canyon, with his strength, there were very few people who could fill up a gourd in such a short time.
"Brother, do you know the specific location of the boundary of death?"
When he thought of the boundary of death, Xing Jue could guess how the man had completed his harvesting mission so quickly.
The boundary of death was a place that everyone knew. It was a boundary that blocked the power of survival.
It was said that as long as one touched the boundary, no matter how strong one was, one would be instantly turned into ashes.
The most frightening thing was that the boundary had no fixed location. It could be very deep today, but it could be very high tomorrow. In fact, it could even be undetectable.
Because of this, even the most powerful people would only wander in the upper half of the canyon. Almost no one dared to go deeper.
Of course, if one had the guts to go deeper, he would be able to capture the power of survival first. Naturally, he would be able to complete his task quickly. This man was obviously such a person.
"Hey, brother, the position of the boundary of death changes every moment. How would I know?"
"However, let me tell you a secret. It is very difficult for the boundary of death to rise to where we are now. Therefore, it is safe to harvest the power of survival here. However, if you continue to go deeper, it will be very dangerous."
"This is the experience I have gained after coming here for 10 years. If you want to survive, you must not tell anyone." The man chuckled, but he still looked simple and honest.
"10 years? Brother, you have been here for 10 years? "
Hearing this answer, Xing Jue was shocked. Surviving here for 10 years was a very impressive thing.
However, this also let Xing Jue know that this man was definitely not from the Sanctuary Alliance. Otherwise, no matter how big a crime he committed, he would not be sentenced to 10 years here.
"Are you surprised? Actually, I am very surprised too. Think about it, I have met so many people after coming here. Many of them are stronger than me, but none of them have lived for more than 10 years. "
"As for me, a mere Asura Battle Soul, I have lived in this dark place for 10 years. This is something to be proud of."
"Unfortunately, even if I can complete the mining task every day, even if I can avoid the direct attack of the Power of Death, I can't avoid its invisible devouring."
"Pfft ~ ~"
Suddenly, the man spat out a mouthful of blood. At this moment, Xing Jue could not help but be shocked.
The man's blood was black like ink and extremely viscous, as if it contained a large amount of poison. It even emitted a fishy smell, similar to the Power of Death.
"Heh, brother, as you can see, I don't have much time left. Otherwise, I would not have told you this secret."
"It's fate that we met today. However, let me give you a piece of advice. If you want to survive here, do not tell the secret of the Boundary of Death to another person, unless you are also a person who is about to die."
Under Xing Jue's surprised gaze, the man wiped the blood at the corner of his mouth, smiled calmly, and flew towards the top of the canyon. He did not even leave his name.
"Banished to the bottom of the prison, is this the dark side of the Sanctuary Alliance?"
Looking at the man's back as he left, Xing Jue was filled with emotions. He did not know how the man offended the Sanctuary Alliance, but he should be able to make up for his sins with this kind of punishment.
"Bang ~ ~ ~"
However, at this moment, the man's body suddenly exploded. Pieces of his clothes and a large amount of blood started pouring down from below.
"What happened?"
Looking at this scene, Xing Jue could not help but be shocked. He hurriedly dodged, deeply afraid that the man's blood would come into contact with his body, because it was a fatal aura.
However, at the same time, Xing Jue was also panicking. He felt that the man did not commit suicide, but was killed by an outsider.
However, even with Xing Jue's Soul Energy, he could not sense who killed him. How terrifying was the person who killed him?
"Xing Jue, with your strength, you should not have been unable to extract a strand of the Power of Life for so long. What are you trying to do?"
At this moment, an old man's voice suddenly came from the sky. At the same time, a figure slowly appeared in Xing Jue's sight.
"Dongfang Lingyu?"
After seeing the black-haired old man, Xing Jue's expression changed greatly. This was because he immediately recognized that this person was the person in charge of the Punishment Department, Dongfang Lingyu.
"Lord Dongfang, there is no enmity between us. Why do you insist on killing me?"
At this moment, Xing Jue already knew why the man had died. Moreover, he also knew the reason why Dongfang Lingyu had appeared here, and that was to take his life.
"Smart. You are indeed a talent. However, it is a pity that you are a member of the Soul-Devouring Clan." Dongfang Lingyu came closer and closer. He did not use his pressure to envelop Xing Jue, because before him, Xing Jue had no room to escape at all.
"Lord Dongfang, what do you mean by that? Could it be that you have some sort of conflict with my Soul-Devouring Clan? "Xing Jue asked in confusion.
"Hahahaha …" After hearing Xing Jue's words, Dongfang Lingyu actually laughed crazily, and then asked coldly.
"Conflict? Is the hatred of the extermination of my clan counted as a conflict? "
