It was past five in the morning, and the sky was getting brighter in the ruins.
After a night of intense battle, all of the monsters retreated underground. What was left on the ground were carcasses and the ground that was dyed red with blood.
Less than five minutes after Lin Huang and the rest went underground, a bloody figure appeared out of nowhere not far away from the collapsed ruins.
That figure seemed to be formed from a mass of blood mist, making it hard to tell whether it was a human or some other creature.
The bloody figure hovered in the air, looking down at the scorched ground. It seemed like it was searching for something.
In less than five seconds after the bloody figure appeared, a figure appeared less than 20 meters away from it.
It was a human corpse. At least, it looked like a human corpse. Half of its body had festered to the point that the bones inside could be seen. There was not a single piece of skin on its body that was unscathed. It looked like a corpse that had been skinned and dried. A part of it was then eaten by the scavengers. It was horrifying to look at.
"You've crossed the line. This is my territory." The corpse's voice was hoarse.
The bloody figure lifted its head and glanced at the corpse. It ignored the warning and continued looking around.
At this moment, two more zombies appeared next to the "zombie". One of them was a half-rotten dragon beast, and the other was a half-rotten raptor. All three "zombies" were in a weird state, with half of their bones exposed.
"This isn't a place for you to be." The ferocious bird flapped its wings that did not have many feathers.
"The blood sacrifice has ended, and the sun is about to rise. We don't have much time left. I'm sure you don't want anything to happen now, "the dragon said to the bloody figure.
The bloody figure lifted its head and looked at the sky. After a moment of silence, it disappeared from where it was.
"Why did that guy break into our territory?" The ferocious bird turned its head and asked the human corpse.
"I don't know. I sensed his presence as soon as I woke up." The zombie also looked around. "It seems like there was a battle between imperial-level powerhouses here …"
"Don't bother about it. It's not the first time that guy broke into our territory." The dragon looked at the sky that was getting brighter. "We don't have much time left. Let's finish devouring as soon as possible."
As soon as it finished speaking, the dragon and the ferocious bird faded away, leaving only the human corpse behind.
The human corpse floated in mid-air and opened its mouth. The vital energy on the ground left the monster's body, turning into a red mist that was swallowed by the corpse. It looked like a waterspout in the air. However, it covered a much larger area and was much more spectacular.
If Lin Huang and the rest were on the ground, they could clearly see that all of the monster carcasses on the ground, including the monsters that did not manage to escape underground, had their flesh and blood peeled from their bodies. Within a few breaths, all that was left of them were bones.
However, the skeletons did not remain. In less than ten breaths of time, they all turned into white mist and were once again swallowed by the human "corpse" in midair.
If one were to take a closer look, one could see that flesh was growing on the corpse's abdomen where its ribs were exposed.
The human "zombie"'s absorption lasted for three to five minutes until all the qi and blood energy within thousands of kilometers was sucked dry. Then, it flashed to another area and began the second wave of absorption …
Lin Huang and the rest had no idea what was happening on the ground.
After almost dying, Yi Zheng and the rest hid in the second underground floor of the ruins and waited patiently for Lin Huang to complete his level-up.
Lin Huang was trying his best to level up to crimson flame-level. While Yi Zheng and the rest were protecting him, they were chatting with each other.
"Lin Huang's secret skill is insane. It can elevate one's combat strength twice!" If he could learn such a secret skill, he would be able to fight a few immortal-levels, let alone imperial-levels.
"It's mainly because he's a supreme genius with terrifying abilities. If we were to level up to immortal-level rank-3, we might not even be able to handle a single attack from the snake. " Yi Zheng shook his head. "I'm not sure if there's anyone in the core zone who can kill an imperial-level on immortal-level rank-3, but nobody in Division 7 can do that. At least, I've never heard of anyone."
"There are such geniuses in the core zone. I heard from my grandfather that there was a holy fire-level who could kill a demigod in Division 1. I used to think that it was just a legend, but I found out that it's true when I went to Division 3 for a vacation. I heard that the holy fire-level has mastered a higher level of power that doesn't belong to our life level. There's only one such genius in our world, "Leng Yuexin told him what she had seen and heard. "Of course, there's no such genius in our era. However, there are a few immortal-level geniuses who can kill imperial-levels."
"Are the people in the core zone that powerful?" Li Lang was doubtful.
"The population in the core zone is more than ten times more than the other zones. The resources are much better than ours too. It's not surprising that there's such a powerful guy." Yi Zheng understood.
It was past eight in the morning. Lin Huang's combat strength had finally elevated to crimson flame-level. Not only was his body enhanced, but the Life Power in his body had transformed as well. The Life Fire in his ten Life Wheels had not only changed from white to crimson, but the first Life Fire that was 300 meters tall had shrunk to its original height of a few centimeters. It was about the same height as the second Life Fire, forming a symmetrical shape. It was similar to a tea tree with one bud and two leaves.
The Eclipse Boa's inheritance was great as Lin Huang obtained an engulfing secret skill that was similar to the Eclipse Boa.
Apart from that, Lin Huang found out something else.
The ruins were divided into four parts due to the existence of three demigods and a mysterious monster. The mysterious monster occupied almost half of the ruins while the remaining half was divided among the three demigod remains. Even so, the area of the three demigod remains' territory was the size of half of Earth's surface.
After each blood sacrifice, the four monsters could only engulf the qi and blood in their territory. They were not allowed to invade the territories of the other three monsters.
Meanwhile, the three demigod remains were no longer in their original state. After hundreds of years of consuming flesh and blood, half of their bodies had recovered. As for the mysterious monster that was so powerful that it could fight the three demigod remains, nobody had ever seen its face.
Apart from the blood sacrifice, the four powerful monsters would usually be in a deep sleep and would only wake up during the blood sacrifice.
Another piece of information was that there was a large-scale site in the center of the ruins. Every once in a while, there would be humans in white robes who would gather at the site.
After digesting the memory in his head, Lin Huang slowly opened his eyes.
Yi Zheng and the rest were having breakfast. Lancelot and Bai joined them.
Lancelot was eating dried vegetables while Bai was drinking a red, sweet and sour beverage. Both of them had broken through gold flame-level and were now on immortal-level rank-1.
"Ahem!"
Seeing that none of them noticed that he had woken up, Lin Huang coughed.
They then turned their heads and looked at Lin Huang.
