The streets of the abandoned city were wide and filled with people. Hundreds of stalls were lined up on the side of the street with a distance of more than ten meters between them.
Many people were staring at the stalls as they passed by.
"One thousand Heavenly Origin Beads." The stall owner dared to make a bid. It was obvious that he wanted to rip off Chen Zong.
Heavenly Origin Beads were the currency used by Saint Rudiment Stage powerhouses. One hundred Heavenly Origin Beads was a huge fortune for an ordinary Mastery Saint Rudiment Stage powerhouse, let alone one thousand Heavenly Origin Beads.
"One." Chen Zong stretched out a finger. One Heavenly Origin Bead. The stall owner's eyes widened. He had never seen such a bargain before. It was obvious that this was not a bargain, but a smashing of the stall.
However, the stall owner also knew that the other party was a peerless genius who made him feel threatened. He suppressed the anger in his heart and revealed a smile. "You really like to joke. I'll take a loss. Nine hundred."
To be honest, he could afford nine hundred Heavenly Origin Beads with his current wealth.
Even if he did not have nine hundred, many things in his Spatial Ring were more valuable than that.
However, there was no need for that. He was not a fool.
"One hundred!" Chen Zong made a final bid.
One hundred!
The stall owner's eyes flashed slightly. In fact, he was very tempted.
After all, when he bought this thing previously, he spent less than one Heavenly Origin Bead. Even if he sold it for one Heavenly Origin Bead, he would not make a loss.
Moreover, judging from the other party's intention, he would only make one bid. If he asked for a higher price, he was afraid that the other party would give up immediately.
Sell!
He made a prompt decision.
"Alright, one hundred it is. You're a peerless genius with extraordinary achievements in the future. I'll take it as making a friend." The stall owner forced a smile and acted as if he was the one who suffered a loss. It was as if he was asking for a favor.
Chen Zong did not say much. He took out one hundred Heavenly Origin Beads and handed them to the stall owner. Then, he grabbed the black root.
A sudden change occurred. A long whip condensed from golden light came from the side in an instant, wrapping around the black root. After wrapping around the black root before Chen Zong, it was about to retreat.
At the same time, a voice sounded.
"I'll pay two hundred Heavenly Origin Beads." This voice was very young, but it carried a trace of arrogance and unquestionable dominance. It was as if whatever he said was the truth and no one could refute it.
The stall owner was startled, but Chen Zong was not. He reacted quickly and slashed with his fingers like a sword. It was so mysterious and sharp that it made people feel as if a heavenly sword was hanging in the air and slashing down, cutting everything.
The rope condensed from the golden light was cut in half in an instant. He reached out and flipped his palm. It was as if he could overturn rivers and seas. He caught the falling black root firmly.
Whoosh! The black root disappeared into his storage ring.
Regardless of whether this item was useful to him or not, since he had bought it, it belonged to him. How could others get their hands on it?
"Your reaction is very fast, but you still have to obediently hand it over." With a flash of light, a young man in a golden robe with an arrogant expression and sharp eyes appeared in front of him. His eyes seemed to flicker with a golden light that was incomparably sharp. He stared at him as if he wanted to see through him and suppress him.
This person's aura was not from the Mystic Origin world, but from another world.
Chen Zong only glanced at him. It was just a glance, and then he turned and left.
He decided not to shop anymore. He wanted to go back and see what the black root was.
Why did it make him feel that way?
"How dare you ignore me." The golden-robed young man's expression darkened, and a trace of anger flashed in his eyes.
His opponent's reaction clearly showed that he did not take him seriously.
Immediately, he ignored the words of the team leader. "Don't fight in the abandoned city without permission."
Boom!
An extremely terrifying aura exploded from his body and soared into the sky. The astonishing power turned into a raging storm that instantly destroyed all the stalls around him.
A palm!
A golden palm broke through the air and slammed into Chen Zong's back. Its power was terrifying and merciless, as if it wanted to shatter Chen Zong's body into pieces.
In an instant, Chen Zong turned around and slashed with his fingers like a sword. It was extremely mysterious and brought along a burst of tyrannical power. He suddenly stabbed forward.
It was just a stab, but it produced a power that could topple mountains and overturn seas. It was as if a part of the world was rushing out.
Boom!
The golden palm print and the sword finger collided. In an instant, the golden palm print was shattered, and the sword finger light was shattered as well. They were evenly matched.
"A mere Fifth Heaven Saint Rudiment Stage can actually block my palm!" The golden-robed young man's cultivation was at the early Sixth Heaven Saint Rudiment Stage. He could sense Chen Zong's aura, and his cultivation was at the intermediate Fifth Heaven Saint Rudiment Stage.
Even though it was not his full strength, the golden-robed young man was a top peerless prodigy. He was not an ordinary early Sixth Heaven Saint Rudiment Stage.
Since that was the case, he would unleash his full strength.
Boom!
The golden-robed young man's full cultivation of the early Sixth Heaven Saint Rudiment Stage erupted. His aura became extremely terrifying as it soared into the sky.
At the same time, a tyrannical and incomparably sharp aura spread out from Chen Zong's body. It was like an invisible giant sword that was pointed at the sky.
Their auras collided in an instant, resulting in an unparalleled shockwave. The ground around them shattered, and pieces of broken bricks floated up into the air. Then, in an instant, they were reduced to dust by the second and third shockwaves.
The others retreated one after another for fear of being affected. However, their eyes were clearly telling them to hurry up and make a move.
There was no doubt that both Chen Zong and the golden-robed young man were peerless prodigies from the Nine Boundaries. They were preparing to enter the Tian Yuan Ruins to compete for a spot in the Lingwu Saint Land.
As peerless prodigies, they had outstanding talent, great potential, and powerful strength.
What kind of place was the Abandoned City?
There were all sorts of people here. There were no strict rules to speak of. The strong were respected, and the weak were inferior. This was the iron law.
In this place, if one did not have enough strength to rely on, it was best to keep a low profile. Only then would one not be killed.
If one was unlucky, one might even be killed on the streets.
Of course, there were very few people who were murderous. After all, if one was too reckless, he would be targeted and become a public enemy.
Therefore, if a battle were to take place here, no one would stop it.
The battle between the two peerless prodigies would definitely be exciting and attract a lot of attention.
"Wang Yue, it seems that you did not listen to my words." A voice suddenly sounded. It was faint, but it made Wang Yue's expression change. He withdrew his powerful aura.
"Consider yourself lucky. However, when you enter the Tian Yuan Ruins, you will die." The golden-robed young man stared coldly at Chen Zong and sneered. A trace of murderous intent was extremely sharp.
Chen Zong did not reply, but he stared at Wang Yue fiercely.
What was there to be afraid of when such a blatant threat was made.
"Wang Yue, if you come to find me, the Tian Yuan Ruins will be your burial ground." Chen Zong said to himself and turned to leave.
To Chen Zong, this was just a small episode. Although they had a grudge because of a purchase, Chen Zong did not care too much.
Chen Zong took out the black root from the Storage Ring and studied it carefully.
It was very hard!
It was very hard. With his strength, he could easily crush a hill, but he could not do anything to this strange root.
Using his fingers like a sword, the Heart Sword Dao Intent condensed on his sword fingers. It was extremely sharp and slashed across the black roots. However, it only left behind a very faint and almost invisible white mark, which disappeared with a single stroke.
He pulled out the Red Hell Flame Sword. The Heart Sword Dao Will condensed and became even sharper. When the sword slashed, it left a bigger white mark, but it was still very weak.
Chen Zong could not help but think.
Should he attack with all his strength?
What if he broke it?
He was hesitant.
After all, he had bought it with 100 Heaven Elemental Beads. It was not cheap.
Moreover, he also felt that this item might be useful to him. If he broke it, it would be useless.
After a dozen breaths, Chen Zong came to a realization and could not help but smile bitterly.
He seemed to have thought too much.
He was not sure what this item was.
Although he felt that it was very likely to be useful to him, there was also a possibility that it would be useless. He was not 100% sure.
Moreover, although the value of 100 Heaven Elemental Beads was not low, it was not a big deal to him.
Why not be more open-minded?
When he thought of this, Chen Zong no longer hesitated. He put the black root away. Chen Zong immediately used his Heart Domain and attacked with his sword.
Lifeless Sword Style!
This was not a full strength sword attack, but it was still a very powerful sword attack.
This sword attack alone could kill an ordinary Sixth Level Saint Rudiment Stage.
The speed of the sword was astonishing, and the sword light was incomparably tyrannical. It directly slashed at the black root. The black root was fixed in place and did not move at all. Coupled with Chen Zong's incomparably exquisite sword technique, a fine crack appeared on it.
It was effective!
Chen Zong was secretly delighted and attacked again.
Lifeless Sword Style!
With his current ability, he could use the Lifeless Sword Style many times in a row.
Slash! Slash!
However, Chen Zong did not slash at the same spot on the black root. Instead, he used his Heart Domain to envelop it and control it clearly. He attacked again with his sword and covered the entire root.
One crack, two crack, three crack … Gradually, the number of cracks increased, covering the entire root.
The hundredth sword attack!
Slash!
This sword attack was so powerful that it was like a giant hammer that slammed hard on the entire root.
Crack!
A sound rang out and entered Chen Zong's ears. It was incomparably beautiful.
Shatter!
The black root finally shattered.
Chen Zong withdrew his sword and grabbed the black root. He immediately smelled a fragrance from the black root.
As soon as the fragrance entered his body, Chen Zong felt as if his body had fallen into a clear stream. It was very comfortable. He felt as if an invisible change was happening in his body. It was a deep change.
"This feeling …" Chen Zong carefully felt the changes in his body and a touch of joy appeared on his face.
His body's potential seemed to be recovering.
The potential that was overdrawn by the Nine Revolution Dragon-Tiger Golden Pill was recovering and the aftereffects were being eliminated bit by bit.
This item was indeed useful to him and it was very useful.
Although Chen Zong knew that there were some rare treasures that could eliminate his aftereffects, it was not so easy to obtain them.
Ordinary rare treasures would not be enough.
Chen Zong came on this trip to the Tian Yuan Ruins to see if he could find such rare treasures that could restore his potential and eliminate the aftereffects so that he could return to his normal state of cultivation.
