Against The Gods
Chapter 170 – Wasterland Of Death

Yun Che chose the guest house to stay at random, but he did not go to sleep. Instead, he sat on the bed and placed the last Dragon Blood Pellet into his mouth.

During his journey from Blue Wind Imperial City to here, he had already swallowed two Dragon Blood Pellets. The refinement and absorption of each pellet took about a day or two, but with Little Fairy's protection from the shadows, she had nothing to worry about.

The moment the Dragon Blood Pellet entered his body, it was as if a fireball suddenly exploded in his body. Yun Che's face flushed red, and his body began to tremble. But under the operation of the Great Way of the Buddha, this reaction did not even last for half a quarter of an hour before his expression recovered and his disposition stabilized.

Of course, the four drops of blood from the Profound Fire Dragon Emperor could not possibly match up to the mystical Phoenix blood. However, when the Fire Dragon blood entered the body, it was much more dangerous than the Phoenix blood. This was because the Phoenix blood would only blend in with one's veins, and become part of the blood vessels within the body, instead of being eliminated …. . With Yun Che's ability, it would be absolutely impossible to completely destroy the Phoenix's blood. But with the blood of the Fire Dragon, the situation was different. It had to be refined, and the power harnessed within it had to be turned into Yun Che's. After refining, it would be gone forever. This process was much more difficult and dangerous than the fusion of Phoenix blood. Therefore, Yun Che first had to integrate it into the medicinal pellets, making it softer, before daring to refine it.

Waves of ice aurora floated up, and Little Fairy quietly appeared in front of Yun Che. Watching his calm expression, a complicated expression appeared in his eyes. He had personally examined the Dragon Blood Pellet before; it contained the blood of a pure Dragon Profound Emperor, and at least four drops of it. Even though it had been assimilated into a medicinal pellet, and the energy contained in the dragon blood became much softer, one should at least have profound strength in the Spirit Profound Realm to refine it; if someone in the Deep Realm tried to consume it forcibly, it would be accompanied by great danger.

However, Yun Che had taken out three Dragon Blood Pellets consecutively, and each refinement had been successful. Amongst these, not a single chance experienced too much hardship or struggle, and the entire process was calm and followed with success; this caused astonishment to jolt his heart.

By the time Yun Che finished, it was already the morning of the third day. However, after opening his eyes, instead of feeling hungry, he only felt light and fresh. After the refinement of the three Dragon Blood Pellets, his profound strength had risen to the peak of the fourth level of the True Profound Realm, and he was only half a step away from breaking through to the fifth level. The benefits of these three Dragon Blood Pellets brought him not only a profound increase in strength, but also a substantial strengthening of his body and meridians.

With the help of the Golden Scale Dragon Transformation Pellet and the three Dragon Blood Pellets, Yun Che's profound energy had risen two levels continuously in the span of half a month. However, while pulling the support of the medicinal pellets was the fastest method, it was also a huge malpractice, as it made its profound strength falter. After all, this sudden rise of two full-strength levels was not due to regular practice. To achieve stability, a large number of battles were required.

Yun Che walked out of the room and bought enough rations. When the shopkeeper looked at the purple spatial ring on his finger, he hesitated for a while, but gathered enough courage to ask calmly, "Young man, you know, are you also a practitioner who will practice in the Wasteland of Death?"

"Yes," Yun Che saw that the shopkeeper's eyes saw kindness, "Aren't sure if the shopkeeper had any advice for me?"

"Hehe," the shopkeeper assessed him, and praised, "It already has the profound strength of the True Profound Realm at such a young age, it is truly impressive. Let me guess, you must be from some big clan, or maybe a genius disciple from a big sect? And from your clothes, as well as the purple spatial ring on your finger, you are also not someone who is short on money, so you are certainly not here to look for treasures to earn money. ”

Yun Che glanced at the purple spatial ring on his finger, but did not say a word. With the Sky Poison Pearl within his body, he had absolutely no need for a spatial ring. He only wore the purple spatial ring that he took from Feng Baiyi's hand to pull the wool into the eyes of others.

"But …. "The shopkeeper looked at the people around him, and lowered his voice, saying," Among those who came to the Wasteland of Death, there were criminals mixed in with honest people. Some of them came for training, and others came for money. Not only did they kill profound beasts for their own benefit, they also killed the practitioners who entered the Wasteland of Death. The purple spatial ring on your finger is too conspicuous, you will easily attract the attention of others. Moreover, you are young and traveling alone, so it is too dangerous. I suggest you take off the ring, carry a tattered bag, and dress more normally. At least this way, you will not attract the attention of greedy people. ”

The shopkeeper's words made Yun Che nod his head and said gratefully, “Thank you, thank you for the reminder. ”

“Also, although your deep strength is not weak, the strength and number of the profound beasts in the Wasteland of Death far exceeds your imagination. At around fifty kilometers, it was all Very Large Profound Beasts and True Profound Beasts. Passing fifty kilometers, Spirit Profound Beasts would also appear frequently. The further you travel, the higher the strength of a deep savage beast. Although the distribution of these profound beasts was different, it was definitely not absolute; within fifty kilometers, Profound Spirit beasts would often appear as well. Therefore, my advice to you is not to go beyond twenty-five kilometers. Training is meant for you to improve yourself, so you don't have to put your life into the equation. Huh, there are so many practitioners who overestimate their abilities and have never returned from the Wasteland of Death. ”

"Rest assured, I will try my best. ”

Yun Che thanked the shopkeeper, left the guest house, and walked towards the Wasteland. Along the way, he drew many views from the other —— as a colossal sword was strapped to his back. As an emperor among thousands of weapons, swords were used by a large number of practitioners, and those traveling with their swords tied on their backs were not few either. However, there really were not many who carried such a huge sword.

Half an hour later, Yun Che officially entered the area of the Wasteland of Death.

Wasteland, land that is allowed to grow wild. Here, the sound of a gentle breeze insinuated, a frightening gesture. The continuous howling coming from a deep beast in the distance made one's heart pound. From a distance, the entire wasteland was overrun with dry grass; rocks lined up in the heavy terrain, and the boundary could not be seen just by looking. The silhouettes of practitioners gathered in groups could be faintly seen. There were very few who came alone like Yun Che; at least, in the area within his line of sight, there was only him alone.

In front of him, waves of ice auroras floated up and an immortal body like Little Fairy floated down from above to land in front of Yun Che, and she asked coldly, "You want to stay here for the next half a year?"

"Yes!" Yun Che nodded: "There is no better training ground than this. I also want to know how deeply I can venture into this place of death which causes everyone's expression to change when mentioned. ”

He looked at Little Fairy and suddenly said: "Little Fairy, are you unwilling to follow me?"

Her soft, clear and cold voice fell, and Little Fairy had already endured. In the blink of an eye, he had disappeared from Yun Che's line of sight.

“Junior…. . "Yun Che rubbed the corner of his mouth, speechless.

"This sister, are you alone?"

Behind Yun Che, a somewhat worried voice sounded. Yun Che turned around and saw a small group of a dozen people staring at him. The one who speaks is the one who leads them. These ten people were very young; the oldest was only twenty-four or five years old. Their profound strength ranged from the late stage of the Nascent Profound Realm to the early stage of the Profound Realm. There the faces revealed simultaneous expressions of excitement and nervousness. It was clearly their first time entering the Wasteland of Death.

Seeing Yun Che turn around, the one who shouted said: "If you are alone, why not join us? When there is a lot together, be it facing a savage beast or a bad person, we can rely on each other. It'll be much safer. If we get the precious drops, it will also be divided completely without bias at all. ”

The reason they invited Yun Che was so vast was obviously because Yun Che's profound strength was at the fourth level of the Profound Realm. Yun Che turned around and said indifferently, “No need. ”

At that moment, he began to walk forward on his own, moving towards the depths of the desert.

“Cih, he actually dared to enter the Wasteland of Death alone, no wonder so many die there every year. Inside the group, a young man with a long sword strapped on his back spoke lowly.

"He looks seventeen or eighteen years old at most, but has actually reached the fourth level of the Profound Realm. He should be someone from a big sect, right? ”

“So what if he comes from a big sect! In this Wasteland of Death, would the beasts and evil people who would kill him care where he was born? The more he was born into a large family in some big sects, the more likely he would be to carry large amounts of coins, medicines, precious weapons, and the like, so the more likely it is that he will attract the attention of those bad guys … . . I'm sure he won't last until sunset. ”

“Alright, no need to think about other people's business. We have done all the necessary preparations; after we have gathered twenty people, we will depart. ”

As Yun Che advanced, he met three groups in a row who wanted to invite him into their adventure groups; one of them was even a small-scale mercenary army, yet he rejected them all.

Moving forward a kilometer and a half, everything was still in tranquility. After a kilometer and a half, Yun Che, who was still walking, suddenly stopped in his tracks as his gaze shifted to the right. At this moment, behind the black stone on his right, which was as tall as two people, a gray shadow rushed out, accompanied by a brutal howl. It threw itself at him, as those terrifying sharp claws emitted a cold light.

Astonishingly, it was only a low level ferocious beast – Wild Wolf.

"You seek death!"

Yun Che stood motionless in his original place. As the Wild Wolf came pouncing on him, he extended his right hand suddenly, sweeping his palm over the head of the Wild Wolf. With just the sound of one "snap", the neck of the Wild Wolf shattered instantly. After being sent flying far away with a slap amidst the blood-curdling screams, his entire body twitched violently, and then was silent.

Behind the black stone, another Wild Wolf who was about to throw at him looked intimidated as it took one step back in fear and all the hairs on its body stood up like needles. Immediately, he raised his head high in the wolf song, sticking out his neck in a prolonged howl. Instantly, howls came from around and not long after, about ten Wild Wolves came rushing from all directions, pouncing on Yun Che directly.

Yun Che's expression did not change. Instead, he let this Wild Wolf come hurtling towards him. Following which, his limbs swung out simultaneously as the phoenix flames danced in the wind. Every time this Wild Wolf came into contact with his fist, foot or Fire Phoenix, they all perished in an instant. For a moment, the wolf carcass flew in all directions, and waves of bitter cries continued to sound. Within a few breaths of time, a dozen wolves fell apart around Yun Che, becoming all sorts of twisted and shattered wolf carcasses.

“Too weak, it is impossible to get experience from a place like this. I'm just wasting time. ”

Yun Che patted the back of his hand. Gazing at the shady forest ahead, he accelerated his pace and rushed into the depths of the Wasteland of Death.
