Chapter 177 Are the ruins about to be destroyed?

"Cough cough..."

The cultivator coughed incessantly, blood gushing from his mouth, as he struggled frantically.

In the end, unsurprisingly, he died at Xiao Potian's feet.

"A bunch of useless trash, trying to steal my things, they're really asking for trouble."

Xiao Potian spat on the ground.

He glanced around at the surroundings.

He was in a dense forest, with the rustling of poisonous insects crawling around him from time to time.

"I need to find Ye Jian as soon as possible and join forces with him, otherwise there will still be many inconveniences here."

Xiao Potian pondered for a moment, then pocketed all the people's belongings.

At that moment, he noticed that the blood in these people's bodies was flowing out uncontrollably, heading in a certain direction.

Not only that, but the blood spilled on the ground during the previous battle was also like that.

Xiao Potian followed the flow of blood and found a small tree about the thickness of a thumb at the foot of a boulder.

The sapling was very slender, less than half his height, yet it was lush and leafy.

To his surprise, the trunk of the sapling was a normal brown, but the leaves were blood red, and a red fruit was growing on it.

Xiao Potian was slightly startled.

"Doesn't that mean the Blood Forbidden Fruit is an extremely rare treasure?"

"That's natural. The Blood Forbidden Fruit can stimulate the power in a cultivator's bloodline, allowing the full potential of their body to be released."

The old man with the jade pendant spoke.

hiss!

Xiao Potian gasped, finally understanding just how powerful the Blood Forbidden Fruit was.

Generally speaking, cultivators can maximize their potential through cultivation and training, but their bloodline can never be improved.

But the forbidden fruit can do that.

This is enough to prove that it is absolutely a treasure.

"With this forbidden blood fruit, my strength will surely improve by leaps and bounds."

Xiao Potian was overjoyed and raised his hand to grab the Blood Forbidden Fruit.

Puff puff puff!

Suddenly, several whooshing sounds came from the air, heading straight for the back of Xiao Potian's head.

The sudden attack made Xiao Potian's heart tighten, and he subconsciously withdrew his hand, his body rising into the air at the same time.

Bang bang bang!

The instant he moved his body away, several steel needles pierced the spot where he had just been standing.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Potian gasped, still shaken.

Luckily, I reacted quickly; if I had been even half a step slower, my body would probably have been pierced by the steel needles.

"Hey, I didn't expect you to react so quickly, you actually dodged my unique hidden weapon."

A cocky voice rang out.

Immediately afterwards, several figures rushed over from a distance and landed on either side of Xiao Potian.

These men were dressed in animal skins, which could not conceal their burly bodies at all. They had dark skin and strange patterns painted on their bodies.

One of them walked over and pointed at Xiao Potian.

"Boy, this spiritual fruit is not for you to touch. You'd better get out of here, or don't blame me for being impolite."

The man's voice was booming, and as he spoke, he didn't forget to demonstrate his explosive power.

With a casual wave of his hand, he caused the air to whistle, and a faint sound of an explosion could be heard.

This clearly demonstrates just how terrifying this person's strength is; if that slap had landed on someone else, it would have instantly turned them into mincemeat.

"Everything is about first come, first served. This item is ownerless, and I found it first, so it should belong to me."

How could Xiao Potian be so easily intimidated?

Furthermore, he was determined to obtain the Blood Forbidden Fruit.

"So what if you found it first? If you don't get out of here, I'll make sure you lose your life!"

The man pointed at Xiao Potian and roared, his face full of ferocity.

Whoosh!

The moment his voice fell, Xiao Potian charged forward like a bolt of lightning.

Xiao Potian transformed his hands into claws, like eagle claws, and slashed down, grabbing the man's arm with both hands exerting force simultaneously.

Pfft!

The man's thick, muscular arms were instantly torn apart by Xiao Potian, leaving them covered in blood and flesh flying everywhere.

"Ah... my hand!"

The man let out a scream, painfully withdrawing his hand, his eyes filled with rage.

"You little brat, are you looking for death? How dare you hurt my brother!"

The others were also furious.

When they arrived, they had already formed an encirclement, trapping Xiao Potian in the center.

At this moment, everyone went out and attacked Xiao Potian together, leaving him no way to retreat.

"You piece of trash think you can kill me? You're dreaming."

Xiao Potian sneered, unleashing his fist technique as he charged towards the group.

boom!

Faced with an attack from one of them, he raised his fist and threw a punch, and the two exchanged blows.

However, Xiao Potian's attack was too fierce and domineering, coupled with his incredibly strong physical body, he shattered the man's arm on the spot.

He let out a wail as his body flew through the air.

Xiao Potian seized the opportunity and kicked him in the head.

With a muffled thud, his head exploded instantly.

Such astonishing power and ruthless methods terrified the others, making them much more cautious.

Even so, they were no match for Xiao Potian.

The two sides fought for less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn before both were killed by Xiao Potian.

After these people died, Xiao Potian discovered that their blood had been completely absorbed by the Blood Forbidden Fruit.

Only withered corpses remained, lying on the ground.

After absorbing the blood of these people, Xiao Potian could feel that the power of the Blood Forbidden Fruit had become significantly stronger.

While looting the belongings of the group, Xiao Potian discovered that each of them possessed a token with the character "凉" (Liang) engraved on it.

"Could they all be from Liang Kingdom?"

Xiao Potian muttered to himself.

But we can't worry about that now, we've already killed him.

So what if they're from Liang? If they annoy me, I'll slaughter them all.

Thinking of this, Xiao Potian took the Blood Forbidden Fruit and swallowed it directly.

Instantly, he felt waves of fierce power surge through his body, violently impacting his bloodline.

Especially the blood inside his body, roaring wildly and scalding hot, as if it were on fire.

Xiao Potian pressed down on his dantian, enduring the pain, and focused on refining it, constantly fusing the power of the Blood Forbidden Fruit with himself, and fully activating the power of his bloodline.

While Xiao Potian was cultivating, the entire ruins suddenly trembled slightly.

The ground swayed like a fallen leaf in a vast ocean, mountains began to collapse, rivers began to flow backward, and the entire ruins seemed to be facing their end.

Not only that, but the sun in the sky also became extremely hot, like a giant oven hanging above everyone's heads.

Not to mention the flowers, grass and trees on the ground, even cultivators who protect themselves with spiritual energy still feel extremely hot all over, as if they are burning.

At that moment, everyone in the ruins panicked, completely bewildered by what had happened.

Zhou Xianzong was equally stunned, staring blankly at the scene before him.

What the hell is going on?

How could the ruins have become like this?

He clearly remembered that this scene wasn't in the script.

What on earth is this apocalyptic scene before us? Is the ruins about to be destroyed?
