The group hurried forward, passing by piles of skeletons. A huge altar appeared in their line of sight. The way this altar was constructed was somewhat similar to the altar that the mortal world's emperor sacrificed to the heavens. The altar was hexagonal in shape, and there was a staircase on each side, leading directly to the center. These six stairs were carved with different runes. These runes were very strange, like an incantation, or a part of a formation.
In the very center of the altar, there was a circular stone pillar, upon which was placed a black book.
The unique energy sensed by the Xiao Hui was being emitted from this black book. At this moment, if one were to look closely, they would be able to see to their astonishment that the book contained a unique energy. This energy continued to absorb the aura around him before entering the book. The aura emitted out again and again.
Han Yan and the rest were standing in front of one of the doors, reading a book. The book was only the size of a palm and it was entirely black. It was impossible to tell what material was used to forge it. However, there was one thing for certain, this book was not a treasure, nor was it an immortal weapon. This was because there were no spiritual energy or immortal strength fluctuations within the book.
When Ruoxue Zhu saw it, he lost interest and said: "Husband, can you tell what this is?"
Han Yan shook his head and said: "I've never seen it before.
The Xiao Hui looked at it for a while, then said: "I don't think so, but I've never heard of it before. The Heaven's Sacrifice magical equipment contains the aura of death." He trained in darkness elemental spiritual energy, and the aura of death belonged to one of the dark spells. It was precisely this that the Xiao Hui could sense the concealed aura that no one else was able to cast.
When he said that, everyone widened their eyes. The Earth Dragon said in surprise, "What did you say? This book contains the aura of death?"
The Xiao Hui nodded its head and said with certainty: "That's right, this book does have an aura of death. The aura would be emitted from the book, and then absorbed by the surrounding energy. Within 100 kilometers, there were all corpses of celestial beasts. After these celestial beasts died, they would release a formless power of death. This power should have killed their souls and sent them into the world of death. "However, the surrounding formations were able to block that power and keep it within the formations. Afterwards, it was absorbed by the aura of death that was emitted by the books …"
Han Yan's eyes flashed, and he analyzed: "The Divine Beast White Tiger made such a place, and then caused the immortal beast to die here. It seems they have some sort of goal …."
The Xiao Hui snorted coldly, and said unhappily: "So a divine beast isn't a good thing either, to actually think of such a method." Speaking up to here, he suddenly thought of something, and said: "Boss, this book should be a good item, since the Divine Beast White Tiger was left here and we found it, why not take it with us …"
Han Yan was quiet for a while, then asked: "Aren't you afraid that taking the book will attract the Divine Beast White Tiger?"
The Xiao Hui said without worry, "Since the Divine Beast White Tiger are in the God Realm, it would be extremely difficult for them to leave the God Realm. Even if we take them away now, the White Tiger wouldn't bother us …"
Han Yan laughed bitterly and said: "Even if we take this book away, it will not attract any Divine Beast White Tiger. Can we use it? If we can use it, we'll just take it. If we can't use it and it brings us trouble instead, what's the use of holding it? " Saying that, he changed the topic, "Let's find a way to leave first! "If we really need to use this book to leave, it won't be too late to take it away …"
When everyone heard Han Yan's words, they all nodded their heads. The Earth Dragon agreed: "Younger Brother Han is right, if we don't want to take this black book, we better not take it."
At this time, Han Yan's gaze landed on the railings on the side of the six tunnels, as these railings were carved with good white jade s. Originally, the crowd had been looking at the altar, but they hadn't been looking at this place. Now, they could see that on top of the railing, there was actually a round crystal the size of a palm. This crystal was as clear as jade. Although no one could tell what material was used to refine it, everyone was sure that it was a good item.
Around the altar, there were a total of 108 railings, and all of them had a round ball placed on them. The ball didn't seem to have any effect, just like the ornaments on it. After using one's spiritual sense to sense it, they would be surprised to find that it also contained a strange energy.
As he was reading, two words suddenly flashed across Han Yan's mind, and he subconsciously said: "Look, is this the divine crystal that the polar toad was talking about?"
Everyone followed Han Yan's line of sight, and upon seeing the ball, they all nodded their heads: "It's possible."
"What possibility? I think it's the legendary divine crystal." With one stride, the Xiao Hui arrived in front of the railings and was about to break the ball apart.
Han Yan reacted quickly and pulled back the Xiao Hui, shaking his head: "Wait a moment …"
The Xiao Hui frowned, her face was full of puzzlement, and could not help but say: "Boss, what are we waiting for? Even if this ball is not a divine crystal, it is still a rare good item … "
Han Yan ignored the Xiao Hui's words and said sternly: "If this is a divine crystal, then it's fine if we take it off. But if it's not, then it's best that we don't touch it." As he spoke, he walked along the altar and swept his eyes across the railings. Just as he was about to walk a circle around, he did not see what he wanted to see. He muttered in his heart: "Could it be that this really isn't a divine crystal?"
Everyone could not understand Han Yan's actions, and the Xiao Hui immediately asked: "Boss, what are you looking at?"
"I'm looking to see if this is a divine crystal." Han Yan replied as he looked at the railing.
The Xiao Hui laughed bitterly and said: "Boss, if you can tell if this is a divine crystal or not, I'll eat this altar …"
Everyone could not understand what kind of method Han Yan had that allowed him to see whether the ball on the railing was actually a divine crystal or not!
Han Yan took a few more steps forward. Suddenly, his pupils shrank as he said with certainty: "That's right, this should be the divine crystal."
With that said, everyone was stunned. The Xiao Hui rushed to Han Yan's side and asked: "Boss, don't lie to me. There are no carvings on the ball, so how are you so sure that it is the divine crystal?"
Han Yan did not answer him immediately. Instead, he raised his hand and pointed to a railing in front of them: "Look, there are no balls on this railing, and judging from the marks on it, they should have been broken apart using brute force." He paused for a moment, and seeing that no one had understood yet, he continued, "Do you remember? The ancient god had come here before for the divine crystal. "One is missing here. I believe that Ancient God took it …"
The Xiao Hui slapped his forehead and said: "Boss, why didn't I think of that? You are really too smart." With that, he added, "Since this is a divine crystal, what are we waiting for." Although he said that, he did not immediately make his move. Instead, he looked at Han Yan. Without Han Yan nodding his head, he did not dare to go for the divine crystal without permission.2
Han Yan walked in front of the railings that had lost the divine crystal, looked for a while, and said: "The divine crystal is connected as one with the railings, if you want to forcibly take it away, you need to use an extremely powerful force. Furthermore, you need to complete it within a short period of time, or else the formations around the altar will launch an attack." As he spoke, he looked at the ground beside his feet. Droplets of dried blood could be vaguely seen. In terms of time, they must have been there for at least several million years.
Han Yan's eyes flashed as he said to Fenger who was beside him, "Fenger, look at the bloodstain, is it the ancient god's blood?"
Fenger stepped forward gracefully and arrived beside Han Yan. After that, he bent down and carefully examined the bloody marks on the ground. Because he was unable to feel the Qi from the blood seal for a long time, Fenger could only take a few from the ground, and then put them in his hands and started to form a seal. Then, the dried blood glowed with a red light and disappeared.
Fenger's brows tightened. He nodded at Han Yan and said, "That's right, this is the blood essence of the ancient god. I never thought that an existence as powerful as the ancient god would be injured as well …"
Han Yan stared at the memorial hall, then frowned: "Since the ancient god is injured, there must be a powerful array inside the altar, but why do I still feel it?"
The Xiao Hui did not even think about it, and said: "There might not be a formation here, the Ancient God was injured by something else."
Han Yan shook his head and said affirmatively: "The way the sacrificial ceremony looks like, is as if a strong array was set up, it's impossible for it to not have a formation."
Ruoxue Zhu thought for a moment and said, "Husband, could it be that it's been too long, the formation has no energy to maintain, and it disappeared?"
Han Yan looked at the book in the center of the memorial hall and said in a deep voice: "That black book is the array core of the formation, it can continuously absorb the surrounding death energy, and the formation cannot disappear without any energy to maintain it …"
Everyone began to think about the reason, but after thinking for a long time, they still could not think of a reason.
Han Yan also did the same. He thought about many possibilities, but in the end, all of them were rejected and he analyzed: "When the ancient god came, the array formation should still be here. When he took down the divine crystal, the array formation attacked him with its divine ability, which was why he was heavily injured. However, from the bloodstains on the ground, it can be seen that he was not heavily injured at that time, and after leaving a bit of blood, he recovered. "
After saying that, Han Yan paused for a while, and changed the subject: "So it's like this, there are only two possibilities. Second, he did not escape. Instead, after the formation launched its first attack, he lost the ability to attack. "I think it should be the latter. Since this formation was set up by the Divine Beast White Tiger, it won't be that easy for the Ancient God to escape …"
Xiao Yuyao's brows twitched, he suddenly thought of something and said: "Husband, could it be that when the Ancient God took out the divine crystal, the array formation was broken? That's why we can't unleash any more attacks? "
Hearing this, Han Yan's eyes lit up, and nodded: "That's right, the possibility is very high, and the divine crystal is most likely a part of the array." With that, Han Yan took out a piece of array stone from the storage bag s. Under the control of his divine sense, he flew up to the railings and landed there in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, with a 'kacha' sound, an unexpected scene occurred.
The array stone's white light was activated, and cracks appeared one after another on it. They enlarged at an astonishing speed, and looked like the array stone was about to fall apart. Suddenly, the other 107 divine crystal s released their dazzling white light at the same time. As soon as these white light appeared, they transformed into streaks of white light and shot towards the book in the middle. The moment the light rays shone into the book, there was a "pa da" sound as the array stone fell to the ground.
The light emitted by the one hundred and seven divine crystal also dissipated in an instant.
Seeing this scene, Han Yan was already sure that the divine crystal the ancient god took away, was definitely a part of the formation. Now that he had lost it, the spell formation could no longer operate, and he would not be able to launch any attacks. In addition to that, Han Yan was certain that the black colored book had lost its original function. In a situation where the large formation wasn't activated, it was just an ordinary artifact, or a divine artifact with a special ability!
This thought flashed through his mind, Han Yan clenched his fists and said: "Xiao Hui, all of you go and remove the divine crystal." After he finished speaking, he walked up the stairs to the altar and started walking towards the black book.
