Inside the dim, quiet room, the atmosphere was calm yet heavy.
“Are you ready?”
Regina looked at Mingxi, who was ready to go.
Mingxi nodded, “Let’s begin.”
Ti was limited; there was no room for hesitation.
Regina humd in acknowledgnt, gripping the gem-encrusted dagger in her hand, and without hesitation, sliced open her palm.
The blood of the Augustus lineage, like strings of ruby beads, dripped onto a semi-transparent, platinum-white nightgown spread on the floor.
It had to be said, the Queen of the Augus Royal Family was truly talented.
Who would have thought that the mirror of creation and destruction would be made into a woman’s nightgown?
That was why even though Claudius had searched the palace and controlled the Queen and Princess for hundreds of years, he couldn’t find the true secret of the Augus Royal Family.
The blood quickly dyed the platinum nightgown a captivating pale red.
“Buzz—Boom!”
The ‘undergarnt’ vibrated violently, emitting a deep resonance!
Spatial power ford a constantly twisting and shifting vortex of light and shadow.
From within the vortex, a deep, ancient, and extrely dangerous aura faintly emanated—this was the entrance to the Augustus Mystic Ground.
“Quick! The passage won’t last long! Rember, life and death are the only passes in the Mystic Ground!”
Regina’s face was ashen, her voice weak from exhaustion, but her eyes were incredibly firm.
Mingxi didn’t hesitate, stepping onto the undergarnt, spatial power swirling around her, and in a flash, she disappeared from Regina’s sight.
“Mingxi, you must not disappoint this Princess!”
Regina murmured, a rare look of tension and apprehension appearing on her usually unexpressive face.
After stepping into the spatial passage, Mingxi experienced a familiar sensation of dizziness, but she didn’t land on solid ground.
“Holy crap!”
Mingxi found herself falling into a ‘thorn bush’ woven from flowing light and shadow.
These thorns were exceptionally sharp, and even with her near-SSS-level physical strength and special physique modified by the Origin of Life and Destruction, she was now bleeding profusely.
She noticed a strange bluish-black spreading around the wounds where the thorns had pierced her, and her body was rapidly becoming numb and stiff.
It wasn’t poison.
Instead, her vitality was draining away.
Mingxi didn’t struggle; she tilted her head slightly, looking around.
This was an endless thorn bush, without flowers or leaves, only tangled, chaotic, blood-red thorns.
The air was filled with pure but extrely chaotic energy currents.
Mingxi imdiately realized her current situation.
“Thorn Corridor.”
“This luck is unparalleled.”
According to Regina, the Mystic Ground, as a private Mystic Ground under the Augus Royal Family’s control, was originally a normal and ordinary Mystic Ground.
The reason it beca so dangerous now was said to be related to Augustus III. This Queen was not only a legendary Beast Tars but also a diligent, skilled in warfare, and extrely ruthless Bloody Queen.
She was also the first to contract the Augus Royal Family’s first Ashura pet.
When she was on her deathbed in her later years, whether to enhance the security of the Mystic Ground or because her mind was muddled near death, she cruelly refined her Ashura pet into a part of the Mystic Ground using a secret thod.
Using the pet’s flesh and blood and all its energy, she constructed the first chanism of the Mystic Ground, which was the predecessor of the current Thorn Corridor—Asura Heart Refining.
According to Regina, the original Asura Heart Refining was [N O V E L I G H T] an obstacle and a killing machine for those not of the Augustus bloodline, but for humans with the Augustus bloodline, it was a test and an opportunity.
Often, descendants who passed the Asura Heart Refining test would have their Beast Tars talent far surpass their peers and increase their chances of awakening a special physique.
It was precisely this Asura Heart Refining that led many in the Augustus family to a generation-after-generation madness.
Almost all Beast Tars who contracted Ashura pets would refine them before death, wanting to emulate Augustus III and leave ‘wealth’ for their descendants.
Ultimately, this not only led to the loss of control over the Mystic Ground but also caused the Narochi, the Ashura Transcendent creature, which was originally inextricably linked with Augustus, to destroy itself.
At that ti, the last remaining Narochi smashed all the pet eggs and killed the hatched young Narochi before committing suicide!
It was an extre form of ‘rather be broken than bent’ ruthlessness.
And from then on, the Augus Royal Family lost absolute control over the Mystic Ground and lost the opportunity to contract the Light Patrol Throne.
“Greed knows no bounds.”
Mingxi could only say that the Augustus clan deserved it; how innocent were those Ashura Transcendent creatures who died in vain?
However, she wasn’t here to be a judge; she wouldn’t criticize others because of these origins.
She and Regina were simply getting what they needed.
Feeling her vitality rapidly draining, Mingxi calmly ford a hand seal and summoned Erald Green.
“Jin.”
As soon as Erald Green appeared, it imdiately flew over and picked up Mingxi, who was trapped in the thorn bush and pricked like a sieve, simultaneously using Life Sharing and Life Leaf on her.
“It’s fine, I won’t die.”
Mingxi comforted the anxious Erald Green.
In this Mystic Ground, Golden Yuanbao and the others couldn’t co out; she and Erald Green could only rely on themselves.
Moreover, items couldn’t be used here.
Even artifacts were useless.
“Rustle, rustle, rustle...”
The mont Mingxi broke free from the thorns, the boundless thorns ca alive.
They were like congealed blood, their surfaces glistening with a slippery sheen, and every movent produced a faint, scraping sound like fingernails on bone.
“Be careful!”
Mingxi whispered a warning to Erald Green, her black eyes reflecting the shadows that suddenly closed in ahead.
Not far directly in front of them, countless thorns suddenly shot up from the ground, their sharp points like poisoned daggers, weaving into an impenetrable net, rushing towards them with a Fishy sll .
Erald Green quickly dodged sideways, but because it was holding Mingxi, its arm was still grazed by a thorn, but unlike Mingxi, the wound did not show abnormal bluish-black changes.
Clearly, Asura were immune to these thorn injuries.
“Caoteng Tuji, Death Entanglent.”
Fighting poison with poison, countering restraint with restraint.
Green vines and black shadows, like an abyss, collided with the oncoming thorn bushes, and those wildly dancing thorns instantly withered and shattered, as if all their life had been drained away.
“Jin?”
“Oh?”
Erald Green and Mingxi in its arms exchanged glances; Erald Green’s total energy value had increased.
Although very subtle, probably less than 1000 energy points, both the extrely sensitive human and Transcendent creature felt it.
“Destroying these thorns can also increase your strength?”
Mingxi was a little stunned.
“Jin.”
Erald Green remained calm; if there was a question, then it needed to be confird.
At this mont, all the thorns on the ground had co alive, coiling around them like countless venomous snakes.
