In front of him was obviously the ruins of an ancient palace. Broken stone pillars, broken bricks and tiles, and collapsed buildings made this place even more desolate.{}
"What is this place?"
Standing far away, Feng Hao did not dare to come closer.
"What's there to be surprised about? There are at least hundreds of ruins like this in every relic. They are just palaces left behind from the Desolate Antiquity."
Elder Fen casually explained when he heard Yun Yang's doubts.
"Oh."
Feng Hao replied softly, and a light flashed in his eyes. "Master, is it safe in there?"
"There is a peak Martial Ancestor Realm spiritual monster inside."
The ancient ring glowed, and an old voice floated out.
"Peak Martial Ancestor Realm?"
Feng Hao was shocked at first, and then a flattering smile appeared on his face. "Master …"
"Heh!"
The old man snorted. "Are you so sure that we won't meet any wild beasts on the road ahead?"
"Uh …"
The old man's words made Feng Hao wake up a little. He glanced at the old man unwillingly, and then he was about to leave.
After all, he could not afford to waste the martial crystals he had.
"Hiss …"
At this moment, a pair of faint eyes lit up in the dilapidated palace, and a ferocious roar came out.
It was a spiritual monster with lumps all over its body, and it was extremely ugly. A pair of small eyes flickered with a faint green light, and it stared straight at Feng Hao. Its big mouth was slightly opened, and turbid and smelly drool was hanging out.
"Cha …"
Looking at the deformed monster slowly walking out of the palace, Feng Hao's mouth twitched.
"Sigh, you brat, good luck."
As he spoke, pieces of sparkling and translucent martial crystals floated out of the ring. There were a total of ten pieces, and they floated around Feng Hao. Following that, the ancient ring on his left hand emitted a bright light. Instantly, the pieces of martial crystals started to spin, and streams of pure martial crystal energy flowed out.
"Hiss! …"
The deformed spirit squinted its small eyes. With a roar, it directly leaped up and pounced on Feng Hao.
"Evil creature!"
Looking at the disgusting thing pouncing over, the aged voice was filled with dignity. It resounded like a clap of thunder from the nine heavens, causing the surrounding space to tremble slightly. Some of the rocks around him were directly shattered and turned into dust.
Immediately, the spiritual monster with a bit of intelligence stopped in mid-air. Its pair of small green eyes looked at Feng Hao with some doubt. It seemed to be a little bewildered.
"Hu …"
Seeing that it had stopped, Feng Hao heaved a sigh of relief.
Only a small amount of the Martial Crystal's energy had flowed out. It was simply not enough to support Elder Fen's attack. If the Spiritual Monster really pounced on him, Elder Fen would probably die on the spot and become the Spiritual Monster's prey.
Thinking of this, he could not help but feel a lingering fear. At the same time, he was horrified by the old man's strength.
This was just a reprimand, but it was already able to intimidate the Spiritual Monster at the peak of the Martial Ancestor Realm. One could imagine how terrifying the old man's cultivation was.
After a short while, the pieces of Martial Crystal all turned into pure energy. Like a lake, it slowly flowed around Feng Hao's body, creating ripples that could be seen by the naked eye.
"Hehe …"
Looking at the deformed monster that was still unable to move, Elder Fen's laughter could not help but reveal a hint of pride. "I've given you another Essence Nucleus."
Since it was already unavoidable, Feng Hao was still very satisfied with losing ten pieces of Martial Crystal in exchange for an Essence Nucleus and a tour of the palace.
"Rumble …"
As he raised his hand, the surrounding space seemed to be unable to withstand the existence of this arm. Muffled thunder-like sounds burst out, and ripples spread out. Its power was boundless, and everything in the surroundings was shaken into dust.
Looking at this slowly raised arm, the deformed spirit was finally afraid. Its huge body trembled, and it wanted to run away.
"Still thinking of leaving?"
Seeing its movements, the old man's voice was filled with disdain. He raised his arm, and a huge ripple-like palm stretched out. As fast as lightning, it directly caught the deformed spirit in his hand.
"Hiss …"
It struggled crazily, and a sharp cry came from its mouth. Its small eyes were filled with panic.
"Puchi!"
The energy palm clenched tightly, and the deformed spirit's body directly cracked. A green rain fell, and a fishy smell also spread out.
"Could this be the Essence Nucleus of the Wood Attribute?"
Looking at the pearl in his hand that was glowing with a green light, Feng Hao was also quite happy.
"That's right."
Elder Fen's voice was heard. His weak voice caused the joy on Feng Hao's face to freeze.
"Master?What's wrong? "
Feng Hao asked worriedly.
Although he had faintly felt that the old man was a little weak in the Thousand Miles of Flaming Mountain, it was not as obvious as this time. That weak voice made Feng Hao's heart tremble.
"Hehe, I'm fine."
Elder Fen smiled weakly. "Don't worry, I'll be fine after resting for a while."
"Oh …"
Feng Hao responded softly. There was nothing he could do. However, he faintly understood that the reason why the old man was like this should be because he had used up that strange luster.
It was the same in the Flaming Mountain last time, and this time, Feng Hao saw it even more clearly.
"What is that energy?How do I replenish it? "
His brows furrowed.
As if knowing what he was thinking, the old man's voice came out. "That is a person's Essence Qi. Strictly speaking, it can't be replenished."
"Essence Qi?"
Feng Hao's heart trembled, and he asked in surprise. "Master, doesn't that mean that it will be less if I use it?"
Essence Qi was the foundation of the human body. Only when one's cultivation reached a certain level could the human body's Essence Qi be slowly purified.
If it was a living person, then the Essence Qi that was used could be slowly recovered, but Elder Fen …
Thinking about it, Feng Hao couldn't help but be more worried.
"Hehe, don't worry, he won't die yet."
The old man pretended to be relaxed, but it didn't make Feng Hao's heavy mood better.
There was no doubt that his Essence Qi was incomparably strong when he was alive. However, after so many years, if it wasn't for something, it would have long dissipated in the world.
"I must find a way to replenish my Essence Qi!"
Although Feng Hao didn't say it out loud, he had already made up his mind. At the same time, he decided that in the future, he would try his best not to let the old man make a move, because every time he made a move, it was equivalent to slowly wearing away the old man's life.
"Alright, go take a look, and leave this area as soon as possible."
With the old man's reminder, Feng Hao calmed down and walked towards the ruins of the Desolate Ancient Palace.
Here, every brick and tile had experienced the endless years of the Desolate Ancient Era. At the same time, the ruins of the huge palace were also narrating the glory of the Desolate Ancient Era.
The huge square was a few thousand meters long, and there were dozens of deep pits on the square. There were deep cracks everywhere, extending to every brick and tile on the square.
Because of Elder Fen's reminder, Feng Hao didn't observe much, and directly walked into the inside of the palace.
