Chapter 684 - 684: Found the Array Platform

After casually killing that rat-like Blood Beast, Chu Qingyun didn't linger, continuing toward Blood Abyss City.

He was aware of the dangers within the Blood Sect ruins, but for the sake of those two Array Bases, he would never choose to give up.

Not long after Chu Qingyun left, three others arrived at the site of the recent battle and came to a stop.

These three were, of course, Tu Guang and his two men, who had been tracking Chu Qingyun.

"The Primordial Power fluctuations are still distinct. He can't be far!"

"Judging by his direction, Chu Qingyun must be heading for Blood Abyss City, deep within the Blood Sect ruins. That kid isn't very strong, but he's certainly ambitious!"

Before entering, Tu Guang and his men had done their research and knew a lot about the Blood Sect ruins.

Blood Abyss City was the largest and most prosperous city within the Blood Sect ruins.

Blood Abyss City once housed the greatest number of powerful factions. Even the No-Life Gang had a major branch there. Therefore, the wealth left behind would certainly be the most abundant.

Furthermore, Blood Abyss City is near the original Blood Sect site, where there might still be untaken treasures like Secret Manuals and Secret Techniques.

Therefore, Blood Abyss City, located in the center of the Blood Sect ruins, was by far the most tempting location.

It was foreseeable that the more powerful Martial Kings and their teams would soon gather there after ransacking the other cities.

"Let's go! That kid just left. At our speed, we'll definitely catch up to him quickly!"

Tu Guang ordered them to continue the pursuit.

However, they had barely taken two steps when two Level Three Martial King Realm Blood Corpses, drawn by the fierce battle, suddenly appeared from the adjacent forest.

The Blood Corpses attacked, blocking the trio's pursuit and causing them to helplessly miss their chance.

Fighting his way deeper into the Blood Sect ruins, Chu Qingyun traveled for nine days before finally reaching the central region, near Blood Abyss City.

Along the way, he encountered many Blood Corpses and Blood Beasts.

He encountered few of the other King Realm Experts who had entered for training and exploration, because he had headed straight for Blood Abyss City, avoiding the paths to other cities.

The vast majority of those in the Martial King Realm were drawn to the various cities.

Along the way, Chu Qingyun casually killed any Martial Spirit Realm Blood Corpses and Blood Beasts he came across, devouring their Primordial Power and flesh to form Blood Pills.

As for the Martial King Realm Blood Corpses and Blood Beasts, he fought those he could beat and fled from those he couldn't.

With the help of his Shadow Martial Soul and Hidden Qi Technique, Chu Qingyun could escape with relative ease even from Level Six Martial King Blood Corpses or Blood Beasts.

After all, Blood Corpses and Blood Beasts possessed even less intelligence than Demon Beasts.

However, over these nine days, he had encountered true danger twice.

Once, he encountered a Level Seven Martial King, a Celestial Spirit Realm Level Blood Corpse. He was hunted by it for an entire afternoon, only managing to escape with his Shadow Martial Soul after nightfall.

Another time, he ran into a Level Four Martial King Level Blood Beast.

Chu Qingyun moved to kill the Tusked Leopard Blood Beast, but at the critical moment, two Level Three Martial King Level Blood Corpses unexpectedly intruded.

A three-way battle erupted. In the end, Chu Qingyun, though considerably injured, managed to kill the Tusked Leopard Blood Beast and the two Blood Corpses.

'Nine days of fierce battles. I've killed three hundred seventy-two Martial Spirit Realm Blood Corpses, one hundred nine Martial Spirit Realm Blood Beasts, seventeen Martial King Realm Blood Corpses, and six Martial King Realm Blood Beasts!'

'Besides harvesting Primordial Power, Blood Pills, and Blood Crystals, I've become much more proficient and comfortable using the power of my three Sword Intents and the Blood Flame.'

'I've also grown more accustomed to combat at the Martial King Realm.'

'Although it looks like my Realm and Sword Technique haven't had any breakthroughs, my combat power has definitely increased by a great deal…'

After hundreds of battles, large and small, over the past nine days, he had finally reached his destination.

Gazing at the blurry silhouette of Blood Abyss City in the distance, Chu Qingyun felt a surge of emotion.

Chu Qingyun had accumulated a wealth of experience from constantly fighting Blood Corpses and Blood Beasts over these nine days.

Though his Realm had not advanced, he felt that if he were to go back and face that Giant Pig Blood Beast now, he could probably dispose of it with ease!

He continued forward for a while.

To his left lay the mountain range of the original Blood Sect site, and to his right, the fallen Blood Abyss City.

Both locations appeared utterly serene, evidently untouched by other explorers.

After a moment's hesitation, Chu Qingyun chose to turn left, sticking to his original plan to find the two Array Bases in the original Blood Sect site.

The wealth left behind in Blood Abyss City surely surpassed the value of the two Array Bases—after all, it was the fortune of an entire city.

However, compared to the two Array Bases, the wealth in Blood Abyss City was far too dispersed.

Chu Qingyun was only one person, after all. Even if Blood Abyss City were undefended and he were free to plunder it, it would likely take him a very long time to secure its riches.

But the other experts and powerful teams who had also entered the Blood Sect ruins would not afford Chu Qingyun that much time.

Before long, others would likely start arriving here as well.

Chu Qingyun was keenly aware of the allure of Blood Abyss City, being the largest of its kind.

Besides, Blood Abyss City was certainly teeming with Martial King Realm Blood Corpses and Blood Beasts. Seizing the treasures within would be no simple task.

Having made his decision, Chu Qingyun quickly crossed the mountain range and entered the original Blood Sect site.

Chu Qingyun was somewhat familiar with this area.

Moreover, he had a map of the original Blood Sect site that clearly marked the locations of all the important main and side halls, as well as the six Array Bases of the Six Imperial Demon-Sealing Array.

Chu Qingyun took out the map, quickly determined his direction, and headed for the nearest Array Base.

The Blood Corpses and Blood Beasts devoured one another, so most had reached the Martial Spirit Realm or higher. As a result, they were highly mobile and roamed far and wide.

Therefore, even though this was the original Blood Sect site, the density of Blood Corpses and Blood Beasts was no different from anywhere else.

Before long, Chu Qingyun crested a mountain and, from the mountainside, spotted an Array Base in the valley below.

The Array Platform, a full ten meters in diameter and nearly three meters high, was still running. Streaks of milky-white light flickered across its surface from time to time.

An incredibly powerful fluctuation of Primordial Power radiated continuously from the Array Platform.

Even from his position on the mountainside, still a great distance away, Chu Qingyun could clearly sense the pure, powerful fluctuations of Primordial Power.

A fervent glint flashed in Chu Qingyun's eyes as he stared at the Array Platform.

'This is the Primordial Power I so desperately need!'
