Chapter 1803 - Extremist Restricted Region Lord
His body was acting strange, becoming a bit heavy. Specks of dark light flickered about. Was this a sign of demonic transformation?
Shi Hao shivered inwardly. He didn’t actually make contact with the black blood, yet he was already silently contaminated?
“That drop of blood?!” He quickly fled into the distance, leaving that region. He wondered if it had something to do with that seed of darkness’ blood.
Perhaps that was the only inauspicious thing that could affect him, right?
Shi Hao left the battlefield, quickly moving through the void, his figure thus disappearing without a trace.
Two days later, in a valley, dark light flickered about, waves of low roars sounding. Shi Hao was cultivating in seclusion, operating mysterious techniques, trying to erase the darkness matter.
“It should be because of that drop of blood.”
Soon afterwards, he came out, his body returning to normal.
This process was extremely mysterious, and also extremely dangerous. In that instant, he was corroded by darkness.
Shi Hao got up. He felt a wave of hesitation, but in the end, he dug out that spatial magical artifact from below the valley again, within it that drop of blood. He carried it on him again. He began to wonder if this spatial artifact might be corroded through.
However, he had no choice but to bring it with him. He also remained extremely careful, paying attention to his body’s changes, scared that he would be contaminated again.
Fortunately, there were no irregular changes. Shi Hao suspected that the reason why he almost became corrupted was because the drop of blood landed on his clothes, affecting him this way.
Crucifix Yin Yang Earth, the void here split apart, two streams appearing one after another, great yin and great yang force operating…
Shi Hao still walked that path. Others couldn’t endure the pressure of the domain behind the gate, but he could hold on. This was a safe path for him.
In the end, he entered the lower realm, entering this desolate land that used to be a life restricted region.
“You actually managed to bring back this type of thing! This isn’t normal darkness blood, but rather something from a seed level creature, darkness true blood!”
The restricted region lord was extremely shocked. Among the creatures of darkness, this was divine blood!
Its significance was extraordinary. With this blood, it represented limitless evolution, allowing one to become a giant among darkness creatures.
This was rare true blood produced by a darkness seed through great difficulty, after a complex process of sacrifice, the most precious treasure, something that couldn’t be sought after, only stumbled upon.
“It wasn’t a darkness seed produced by sacrifice, but rather a coffin that created it.” Shi Hao informed the restricted region lord.
When the lord of the restricted region heard this, he trembled inwardly, saying, “Then it’s even more special, a heaven’s chosen seed, invaluable true blood!”
Shi Hao just knew this blood was extraordinary. He asked what kind of use this blood had, how he should deal with it.
“You should stay a bit further away from it, or else by keeping it close to you, it will corrode you, make you head towards darkness.” The restricted region lord warned.
“There are no uses? Then I might as well directly destroy it.” Shi Hao said.
“It is extremely hard to destroy. It will grow and multiply without end, unless you reach the Immortal Dao level, continuously purify it with immortal blood and immortal energy.” The lord of the restricted region said.
Shi Hao shook his head. “Originally, I wanted to make use of it somehow, but seems like it doesn’t have much value. I probably shouldn’t have brought this thing back.”
Shi Hao was a bit regretful. What if he ended up contaminating the lower realms? Once this black matter spread, he would become the eight regions’ sinner.
“With me here, you don’t really have to worry about this true blood spreading out. Hmm , perhaps it might have some great use?” The lord of the restricted region said.
“What use?” Shi Hao couldn’t help but ask.
“You can bathe in darkness blood, allow it to completely corrupt you.” The lord of the restricted region said.
“What?!”
Shi Hao backed up, extremely alert. No matter what, he definitely wouldn’t let go of his current primordial spirit. If he did that, then it was the same as his flesh becoming imperishable, but already becoming a whole different person.
In reality, he didn’t completely trust this restricted region lord yet. It was because everyone had their own secrets, let alone a great figure like this.
“Don’t be in such a rush, listen to me first. The darkness matter is extremely terrifying, but blindly sealing it off isn’t a solution. Sooner or later, you’ll have to come into contact with it. If you can develop an immunity towards it, perhaps even exploit its power, then there really won’t be anything to worry about.” The restricted region lord said.
Moreover, he felt like this time, Immortal Domain might lose. Even if they could win, there would be great danger.
“In the future, this world will definitely experience history’s most terrifying great turmoil, one that exceeds all previous ages, all great eras. That would be the most terrifying settling of accounts!”
“The darkness matter might be a great disaster, but perhaps one day, it can nurture the flesh, turn death into life. It’ll depend on whether or not it can be used.”
When the lord of the restricted region said these words, Shi Hao immediately felt many doubts.
“You want me to adapt to this darkness matter?” Shi Hao asked.
Once one was contaminated by that thing, there was no going back. Once one fell into darkness, lost sense of self, what else was there to talk about? His life would be over.
Otherwise, why would Immortal Domain be so persistent with sealing it off, not even those who fought with the creatures of darkness allowed back inside, forever abandoned, exiled?
“There is no room to think about others, this might be a chance.” The lord of the restricted region said.
“This is too risky.” Shi Hao shook his head.
“You’ve even been afflicted by the Immortal Breaking Curse, yet you’re still alive, not crippled. If you can resist the darkness matter too, then you might truly be able to live through this great settling of accounts!” The lord of restricted region said seriously.
When Shi Hao heard this, he revealed a serious expression, not saying anything. He began to think carefully to himself.
“Perhaps you feel that you are already stunning enough, but let me tell you, before that great clash of powers, any being that jumps out can turn the sky and earth upside down, slaughter ten thousand races, do you believe me or not? It is because those creatures have all watched great eras rise and fall through the turbulent long river of time.”
The restricted region lord’s words were clear. If one wanted to truly rise up above this terrifying age, survive, then they had to have abilities exceeding the imagination of this world, break all types of forbidden records.
Shi Hao understood the reasoning behind what he said, but he still felt like this restricted region lord was mad, not treating his life like anything serious at all.
“This is it, you will be high up above, even sturdier than the world, eternally everlasting, imperishable through millions and millions of ages. Meanwhile, if you fail, it is nothing more than dying ahead of time, or else you will die in the beginning phase of the great showdown, there is no way you’ll be one of those who will laugh last.” The restricted region’s lord spoke too directly.
“You are a madman!” Shi Hao said. However, in the end, he agreed. At first, his lips were opposed to it, but inwardly, he was considering it. For the sake of becoming stronger, he didn’t hesitate to take risks, even if the chances of survival were slim.
“Excellent. A single drop of darkness true blood is only enough to use for now, in the future, you will have to completely immerse yourself in this type of blood.” The restricted region lord said.
This made Shi Hao’s expression change. This middle-aged man’s clothes were purer than snow, he looked handsome and aloof, but his way of doing things was too terrifying.
“I will find a way to cultivate more darkness true blood. From here on out, prepare to be corrupted by darkness.” He said.
Shi Hao thought for a bit, and then said, “No, I can’t make that gamble. I need to take it step by step.”
He decided that he was going to create another body. Either way, at his level, he could regenerate broken limbs, so building another flesh shell wasn’t an issue.
“That’s fine as well, create a darkness body, use him to fight with you, there will be more benefits.” The restricted region’s lord nodded.
In the end, Shi Hao left, handing this problem to the restricted region’s lord.
He wasn’t in a rush to return to Stone Village. He first entered the Void God Realm to see Bird Grandpa and Coin Elder.
“Two old farts, did you remember yet? What exactly is that rotten wooden chest, what kind of background does it have?” Shi Hao asked.
It was because this time, he saw a chest similar to Origin Ancient Artifact in the higher realm, so he became even more interested in the rotten wooden chest he grasped.
He didn’t dare ask the lord of the restricted region, because he felt a bit of restraining fear towards him, still on guard.
One had to understand that the rotten wooden chest was something even Shutuo and Anlan wanted to obtain. It was something they went to great lengths for, willing to pay any price to obtain it.
The lord of the restricted region was perhaps precisely that level of existence before. Even though he was a ruined imprint now, unable to revive, Shi Hao still didn’t dare act too recklessly.
If the rotten wooden chest had any strangeness, he was scared that the lord of the restricted region would develop some strange reaction.
At the same time, he wanted to have Bird Grandpa and Coin Elder help him think about this, find out if the lord of the restricted region was harmless. If these two elders could recall more things about the past, then he could obtain an answer that would make him feel more relieved.
“The rotten wooden chest is definitely not normal. We feel a type of restlessness from deep within us, but we just can’t recall what it is.”
“That restricted region lord, be on guard against him for now, do not give him this rotten wooden chest yet!”
This was what the two old fellas said, their expressions serious.
