Capítulo 1396: Chapter 1273: Activating the Divine Platform
The ancient transmission array platform was filled with a sense of the passage of ti, having stood here for tens of thousands of years without any change.
On the platform were complex patterns, with traces of dried blood that appeared an eerie dark brown.
Even after tens of thousands of years, there was still a strong sll of blood, showing just how much blood was needed to activate this platform back then.
Under the platform, Ye Fan took out a white jade gourd, which was a space spiritual artifact, engraved inside with space array patterns, its interior vast enough to hold a dozen people without issue.
Bang!
The mont the white jade gourd was taken out, a crack appeared on it, and it shattered instantly, unable to withstand the terrifying curse power.
“This…”
Ye Fan was quite speechless; he wanted to take so of the dirt from here outside.
The curse power here was too strong—it was feared that even strong people in the Lord Realm couldn’t withstand it. He wanted to have a trump card after leaving, but unfortunately, the white jade gourd couldn’t handle it.
“We can try using a virtual space; let collect it!”
Just when Ye Fan was at a loss, Elder Xuan spoke up, tracing mysterious and unfathomable patterns with his hands. Suddenly, a flash of light gathered several asures of bone powder and dirt!
“Kid, who are you planning to trick again?”
Seeing this, Bai Yan wolf widened its mouth; this kind of terrifying curse power, besides it and Ye Fan, even the Saint Heir from the Holy Land or the Di Clan’s heirs couldn’t withstand it.
Ye Fan ignored it and, with Tongtong’s help, struggled to climb up from under the platform. The curse power on the platform was much smaller, but still continually devoured their life force. It was not suitable to stay here long.
The Heaven and Earth Source Liquid on Ye Fan was about to run out; if they delayed any longer, they would undoubtedly die. It was impossible to escape back the way they ca, let alone go out through the transmission array runes.
“Are we really going to die here?” Tongtong looked at Ye Fan with a terrified expression.
No matter how strong she was, she was still a woman; in this desperate situation, she still wanted a shoulder to rely on!
“It’s not the final mont yet; we will definitely find a way out!” Although Ye Fan himself had no solution, he still comforted Tongtong.
“That’s it, your words reminded .”
Bai Yan wolf’s cloudy eyes shot out two beams of brilliant light, “We now have three different lives—divine, human, and demonic. Our blood may be able to activate the array patterns without needing too much blood.”
After speaking, Bai Yan wolf sighed, “If only we had Emperor Bloodline, a single drop could activate the array patterns; it’s a pity…”
No ti to lose, Tongtong had no way to return the way they ca, so she had to traverse the void with Ye Fan to get out first.
Fortunately, she was the goddess of her clan and already had the right to freely leave the Divine Battle Relics, without worrying about breaching clan rules by leaving them privately.
Sss!
Tongtong was the first to cut her wrist, her vibrant divine blood shining brilliantly, almost as if it had a life of its own, filled with vast divine aura.
Ye Fan and Bai Yan wolf also successively dripped their precious blood onto the array patterns, mixing with Tongtong’s divine blood.
Divine blood, demon blood, and human blood flowed on the array platform, emitting a dazzling blood light.
Whizzing sounds…
As blood dripped on the array patterns, they quickly flowed along the patterns like spirit snakes, instantly filling all the patterns on the platform.
“Boom…”
A mighty aura emanated, spreading over the entire platform, as strands of power of life were attracted from all directions to rapidly repair the aged bodies of two people and a wolf!
This power of life was transford from deceased gods and demons, and imperceptibly, Ye Fan, Tongtong, and Bai Yan wolf now had a bit of the divine and demonic aura in their bodies, though they couldn’t sense it yet.
With the replenishing of the power of life, the life force of the two people and a wolf quickly rejuvenated, and the life force devoured by the curse power rapidly restored.
Ye Fan’s body glead like jade, with faint traces of lightning power circulating on it, his eyes emitting a formidable aura.
At this mont, he felt as though he dared battle a dragon, his whole body brimming with surging power, and his fists clenched, emitting sonic booms.
Crackling sounds!
Bai Yan wolf’s body burgeoned, growing larger than before, akin to a lion, with pupil-less white eyes like black holes, glowing with a daunting light.
Divine Lady Tongtong was restored to her forr radiant splendor, yet now there seed to be an added bewitching allure amidst the sacred glow, her eyes captivating and enchanting.
The transformations were completed in an instant!
Then, just as they were still unaware of what strange changes had happened to them, the Array Platform shone brightly, and the crossing of the void began!
…
In a desolate place tens of thousands of miles away from the Divine Battle Relics, there was a barren land filled with shattered stones, devoid of any vegetation, with the wind sweeping yellow sand everywhere, seemingly an uninhabited place.
However—
Not far from here was an exceptionally rare spirit stone mine in the Southern Domain, where workers in small groups were transporting the mined waste stones here for disposal.
“Damn it, the Qing Family doesn’t treat us workers like humans at all, we don’t even get ti to rest all day!” A young worker, who had co to move waste stones, complained as he struggled to toss the stones aside.
“Young man, say less. Since you’ve co here, do you think there’s any freedom left to speak of? It’s good enough they haven’t killed you.”
An old miner leisurely took out a tobacco pipe, filled it with tobacco, and smoked while watching the younger miners work.
“Old man, what do you an by that? When we ca, the Qing Family promised we’d mine for four hours a day with generous pay, that’s why we’re here. Is there so inside story?”
The young man wiped his sweat, hiding in the shadow of a giant stone and asked the old man.
“Pay? Hmph!”
The old miner snorted lightly, “Hardly anyone who works for ten years gets paid by the Qing Family. Since you’re here, be prepared to die here, they won’t pay you anything.”
“No way?”
A stocky young man also ca over, incredulous, “The Qing Family is the top family in Qing Province, how could they not keep their word and ruin their own reputation? Besides, the pay we ordinary people ask for isn’t that high?”
“No way? Just look at and you’ll know. If you guys survive, you’ll end up like .” The old miner looked at them sorrowfully.
“Old man, what is going on here? Can you tell us?” Hearing what the old miner said, the other young workers beca anxious.
They all ca for the generous pay, willing to sacrifice ten years of freedom for a lifeti of wealth and honor. Hearing the old miner, it seed they couldn’t even get their pay and might lose their lives here, how could they not be shocked?
“Alright, since I’m not going to live much longer anyway, I’ll tell you so of the shady business here, but you must keep it a strict secret; if word gets out, we’ll all die.”
After a solemn warning, the old miner revealed the astonishing secret behind the Qing Family’s spirit stone mine!
As it turns out, every few years the Qing Family recruits a batch of ordinary young laborers to supplent their mining force.
The pay they offer is so attractive that it astounds the great Di Clans and Holy Lands in the Northern Domain.
Because of this, the Qing Family never lacks labor force, yet few manage to actually receive paynt from them, as nearly no one can work the full ten years; they all mysteriously die in the mines.
According to the Qing Family’s public announcent, the mine had collapsed, causing a disaster where all the workers below perished!
As for the real situation, others don’t know, but the old miner, having experienced so much, does know—it’s no mining disaster at all but rather a Cultivator overseer sent by the Qing Family kills all the miners nearing ten years down the mine, faking a mining accident.
Of course, that executioner also uses a secret technique to fake their own death in the mine, then transfers out after the uproar settles, living freely once again.
Moreover, in the mine, that pitch-dark underworld, anything is possible, even so bizarre occurrences might happen.
“Old man, I’ve heard soone once found a living creature deep in the mine, is that true?”
One young miner, upon hearing the tales of bizarre happenings in the depths of the mine, couldn’t help but recall a legend he’d heard and asked the old man for verification.
“Get lost! Don’t follow to work anymore!” The old miner’s face changed drastically upon hearing this and imdiately rebuked him.
This kind of eerie matter is taboo among miners, especially in the mining area where not a word can be ntioned—mines are wicked places where speaking of such things often leads to sinister happenings before the words are fully spoken.
“What…what’s that? Divine Light?!”
Just then…
A young miner abruptly stood up, looking towards an already abandoned part of the Qing Family mine in shock.
In that abandoned mine area, brilliant Divine Light shone forth, as if sothing extraordinary was about to erge, emanating a majestic wave of Divine Power!
