The Dragon-Phoenix Abyss was a gray world. There was no light nor complete darkness. There was only a sense of desolation and loneliness.
This world was not small. Even a Minor Saint would not be able to reach the other side in a short period of time even if they flew at full speed. This place was roughly as big as the Transcendent World.
There was no danger here for the time being. Most of the creatures that came in were killing each other, competing for the highest ranking of each race.
In a spacious area, a young man was roasting meat over a fire.
"This rat meat is tough, but the taste is not bad."
"Hmm, this snake gallbladder is quite big. It is not worse than my Six Flavor Earth Yellow Pill. I will eat it."
"This scorpion can be used as medicine. I will not eat it for now."
…
Beside the young man were the corpses of five venomous creatures. He had dissected them and grilled the rat and snake meat.
This young man's culinary skills were not bad. After adding some herbs, the stench of the demon meat was removed and the fragrance of herbs was added. This was the unique skill of an alchemist.
This young man was Yang Wu, who had entered the Dragon-Phoenix Abyss. After killing the five venomous creatures, there was an additional number of "five" on his jade token.
This meant that he had won five battles and was ranked 555th on the Heavenly Dragon Leaderboard.
When Yang Wu saw this number, his eyes widened.
He had won five battles as soon as he entered, and he was still outside the top 5000. There were more than 5000 people in front of him. This showed how fierce the competition was.
The jade token allowed him to see other people's rankings, but he did not want to pay attention to it for now. He wanted to let the others fight to the death. He only had one goal now, and that was to find another type of Mysterious Essence Qi. He had already forgotten about the name of the Dragon Emperor.
After eating the rat and snake meat, he sat down to refine the demon meat. Strands of energy seeped into his body. He could not help but sigh softly. "This Spiritual Demon meat contains extraordinary energy. It can even improve my Divine Body. It seems that eating more high-grade demon meat is beneficial."
He had just eaten the flesh of a Skyward Rat and a Five-Colored Snake. These two races were extremely powerful in the Spirit Demon Tribe. They were the representatives of these two races and had outstanding cultivation talent. How could Yang Wu's physical strength not increase after eating them?
Yang Wu had been here for less than half a day and had gradually adapted to the environment. Even though the gravity was still there, its influence on him was slowly decreasing.
This was the power of the Supreme Nine Profound Arts. The gravitational force could suppress his physical body, but it could not suppress the circulation of the profound arts. Although it was slower than the circulation in the outside world, it was beneficial for tempering the extreme circulation speed. After leaving this place, it would definitely be on a higher level.
The only thing to note was that the Xuan Qi of heaven and earth here was very thin. If one were to fight here and expend energy, it would be very difficult to absorb energy from the outside world to replenish it. One had to rely on the accumulation of time, or Xuan Spirit Stones to replenish it, or even herbs and elixirs to replenish it.
This meant that those with great wealth could live a long and comfortable life here.
This was not a problem for Yang Wu at all. He had several million saint spirit stones in his Qiankun Space.
It was possible for him to be the richest person here.
In addition, Yang Wu had just killed the Five Poisonous Beasts and plundered many good things from them. They were all useful to him.
Yang Wu had rested enough and continued to dig. He was a little regretful that he had just killed the Five Poisonous Beasts. It would have been better if he had left them to dig with him.
At the moment, he only had one lightning absorbing puppet on him. He had obtained it from Duan Ren City. This puppet could absorb lightning, but it was not very useful for digging.
The Sacred Secret Soil here was not small. If he dug it all out, it would definitely be enough to plant a medicinal garden.
Thinking about this, Yang Wu was filled with motivation. He began to dig faster and even called the Sacred Mandala Flower to dig with him.
The Sacred Mandala Flower had been impatient for a long time. This Sacred Secret Soil was very important to her. If she attached herself to it, she could make up for the effects of Yang Wu signing a master-servant contract and increase her cultivation speed.
"Master, I don't think this place is safe," said the Sacred Mandala Flower while opening her petals and vines to dig the soil. She looked worried.
"Why do you say that?" asked Yang Wu.
"The atmosphere here is not very good. It feels like a graveyard. Look at the Holy Corpses. Their bones have never melted, but they melted here. There must be something extremely dangerous here," said the Sacred Mandala Flower. "You are very smart.
"You're really smart. This place is called a forbidden area, so of course it's not a safe place. Even if there's a ferocious almighty being here, they won't pay attention to us. We're still too weak. Hurry up and help me gather all the soil. Yes, even the bones. Don't take the opportunity to devour these bones. Don't you feel disgusted?"
"Master, I grew up eating soil. Do you want to join me? It is very nutritious. "
"Forget it. I am not that poor that I have to eat soil. You should control yourself."
…
Yang Wu spent two days digging up all the Sacred Secret Soil. There was still some good soil in the surroundings, but he didn't want to dig anymore. He always felt that digging like this wasn't the same thing. He wanted to get a group of puppets and let them dig. The most important thing right now was to find the Profound Essence Qi.
At the same time, his ranking on the Heavenly Dragon List had dropped out of the six thousand. He was speechless.
"I don't know when the space of the Dragon-Phoenix Abyss will open again. These guys are really crazy." Yang Wu sighed in his heart.
The more they did not know when the time would end, the more the geniuses tried to kill their opponents. Only by maintaining a high ranking would they be able to gain more reputation in the end.
Yang Wu was very strange. Why were there so few creatures here? Other than the Five Poisons at the beginning, the other creatures were not here. Did they go somewhere else?
He realized that other creatures might have found this place different and went to look for opportunities.
"I have to go." Yang Wu said. He took the Sacred Mandala Flower and began to speed up in the direction of the Mysterious Essence Qi.
This was really a barren land. After walking for half a day, he still saw empty lands and bare mountains. Moreover, he found that the quality of the stones here was really very good. Every piece was comparable to a heaven material, and there were even Minor Saint level ones. He had already collected a few pieces of stone. He thought that there might even be Saint level stones here.
Not long after, he found some more Mysterious Essence Qi. He looked at it and felt his heart itch. He could only choose to ignore it and continue moving forward.
He ran faster and faster. The potential of the Wind God's Legs was squeezed out bit by bit. He felt very good.
Suddenly, he sensed a weak aura nearby. The other party hid very well. If his senses were not sharp enough, he would not have noticed the other party's existence.
He pretended not to notice the other party's existence and continued to run forward. Just as he was about to get close to the other party, a large net suddenly enveloped him.
It was a spider's web.
Yang Wu was caught in the other party's web.
"Ji ji, delicious food." An evil voice sounded. Then, the other party retracted the net.
Yang Wu saw the other party's appearance. It was a demon spider. Its body was not particularly big. It should have shrunk its body size. It had two evil eyes, eight sickle-like claws, and a spider web in its mouth. Its whole body was suffused with a black aura. It was the unique evil aura of the Devil Clan.
Yang Wu rarely came into contact with the Devil Clan except for fighting against the Evil Clan and the Devil Clan in the City of Redemption. After a few years, he finally had the chance again.
Just as he was about to be swallowed by the demon spider, the blue flames on his body floated. The sharp spider silk broke inch by inch.
The demon spider showed a surprised expression. It sprayed venom from its mouth toward Yang Wu like a fountain. The air was corroded and sizzled.
Yang Wu quickly retreated. The ground was touched by the venom and immediately corroded into a poisonous pit. He exclaimed in his heart, "What an overbearing poison."
The soil here was different. It was very hard. Even a Heaven Realm creature may not be able to break it. The demon spider's venom could cause such destructive power. It was enough to show how overbearing the other party's venom was.
The next moment, the demon spider waved its claws and slashed at Yang Wu.
The demon spider's attack speed was very fast. Its claws were like blades as they slashed through the air, like chopping vegetables and cutting melons.
Yang Wu retreated again. One of the other party's claws scratched his body. His clothes instantly tore open and a shallow mark appeared. Venom seeped into his body and black aura floated. He couldn't help but gasp, "Hiss!"
He had the Sacred Dragon Body, but he was still injured by the other party. This demon spider was too strong.
"His reaction is very fast. This human is not easy to deal with." The demon spider was even more surprised than Yang Wu. He was ranked very high in the younger generation of the demon race and had killed dozens of creatures. He didn't expect this young man in front of him to be so powerful and easily dodge his attack.
The demon spider didn't dare to be careless. It spat out another mouthful of venom. It splashed at Yang Wu like rain. At the same time, its claws danced even faster. Sharp rays of light slashed out, blocking Yang Wu's path. It had to kill Yang Wu as quickly as possible.
"Kill!" Yang Wu was also angry. He roared and the Black Tortoise Battle Armor appeared on his body. The powerful force reflected the venom. He punched out with both fists. It was as if a barbaric eagle had appeared, responding to the demon spider's attack with the sharpest Barbaric Fist.
The demon spider was shocked. It had clearly injured the other party just now. The other party should have been poisoned. Why was he able to fight back as if nothing had happened?
He didn't care so much and used all his strength to attack the other party.
Bang bang!
The sickle-like power intertwined with the fist energy. Bursts of power rolled out and cracks appeared on the ground. Such a powerful attack only caused so little damage. It was clear that the environment here was unique.
Who was stronger in the end?
