"No, that's impossible!"
Jiang Yuan remained unconvinced. He knew that the Palace Spirit was not exaggerating. Once the source of the battlefield was identified, a nightmare awaited him, and even the entire Southern City.
"Accept reality. The only battlefield soul mark you carry is the best proof!" The Myriad Realms Origin Dragon twisted its massive body and coiled back onto the mine.
Jiang Yuan's body trembled, and he quickly touched his forehead. Sure enough, when he touched his skin, he felt another force.
"What if I don't?" Jiang Yuan felt an urge to escape Nancheng, carrying with him a vow.
"It doesn't matter. The source of the battlefield is related to the future of the battlefield. If the source of the battlefield is destroyed, then the entire battlefield will only have three to five years left. It's just delaying the time of death!" The Myriad Realms Origin Dragon acted very casually, as if he didn't care about Jiang Yuan's choice at all.
"Then what should I do?" Jiang Yuan asked in a deep voice.
“Buy time! During this time, the Demon Lord will frantically release Demon God blood. Once there are enough Demon Embryos, he will appear here and then suppress the Source of the Battlefield in accordance with the rules! So, as long as you kill the Demon Embryo and cooperate with the Soul of the Battlefield to absorb the power of the Demon Embryo, you can win me the opportunity to absorb the World Vein and grow stronger!” Myriad Realms Origin Dragon explained.
"That's simple, how long do you need to drag it out?" Jiang Yuan nodded; this request wasn't difficult.
Myriad Realms Origin Dragon gave a strange smile. He didn't go into details about the process, but simply said, "At least ten days, because the minimum formation period for the battlefield's origin is ten days."
“Okay, no problem!” Jiang Yuan agreed, but he had no idea how much he would have to pay for this promise.
The Myriad Realms Origin Dragon smiled cryptically, and then all the red mist surged into Jiang Yuan's body. The swastika between his eyebrows became dazzling again under the influence of the red mist.
"Remember, this is your destiny, you cannot escape it!"
While Jiang Yuan was in a daze, the source of the battlefield squeezed him out of that space, and he was still standing in front of the bronze gate as before.
"Jiang Yuan, are you alright?!"
Ning Yanlan stepped forward to help Jiang Yuan up. Her gaze lingered on the space between Jiang Yuan's eyebrows, and she visibly breathed a sigh of relief when she saw the swastika symbol gradually disappearing but still present.
"This is terrible!" Jiang Yuan was still in shock. He hurriedly walked towards the bronze door, but this time the bronze door did not respond, seemingly resisting his entry. "Damn it, I can't get in!"
Once the source of the battlefield relinquishes the soul of the battlefield, it will completely seal itself off and begin to devour the world's veins until the true source takes shape.
"What exactly happened?" Ning Yanlan wanted to know the answer.
"Wait a moment!"
Jiang Yuan raised his hand, and the Stone Sense spread out in all directions. As the range of the Stone Sense expanded, his expression became increasingly grim.
"This is bad! The shockwave from the bronze gate was detected by the battlefield rules. Within a ten-mile radius of us, at least twenty divine bloodstones with demonic runes have appeared!" Jiang Yuan looked at Ning Yanlan with surprise.
"Is it the evil thing you mentioned before?" Ning Yanlan asked thoughtfully.
"Let's go retrieve the Demonic Bloodstone first, and I'll explain everything to you on the way!"
Jiang Yuan grabbed Ning Yanlan and ran towards the nearest landing spot. At the same time, he picked up the communication stone and began calling out to Xiao Pang and Leng Yue.
"Brother Yuan, what's up?"
"Captain, I'm on a mission outside!"
Xiao Peng and Leng Yue, one sleeping and the other doing a mission, both responded to Jiang Yuan's words.
"Remember this aura!" Jiang Yuan took out a Demonic Bloodstone with Demonic Patterns and then recorded the aura into the Four-Phase Transmission Stone. "If you see it, snatch it back!"
"Ah! Are we going to snatch it back from someone else too?" Little Fatty had never seen Jiang Yuan so domineering before; he almost never did anything like snatching things without asking any questions.
"For the safety of the southern city, rob!"
After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, he hung up the communication stone. In the short time it took to talk, the two of them had already arrived in front of the first Demonic Bloodstone.
However, some forces are already vying for this extraordinary treasure that fell from the sky.
The Demonic Bloodstone is a gift from the rules of the battlefield, much like the countless opportunities brought down by the meteor on the night of the cataclysm. No one wants to miss such an opportunity.
But today, they encountered the oath!
"I'll do it!"
Ning Yanlan knew that Jiang Yuanshen's abilities could be imprisoned, so she took the initiative and attacked first, shouting, "Snowy Domain - Extreme Cold Realm!"
Crackling sounds filled the air as the glacier began to spread from Ning Yanlan's feet. In no time, dozens of people present had their feet frozen, and they stood there, pale-faced.
"You spout righteous vows and morals, yet now you're robbing the treasures of us small forces—how shameless!"
Among the dozens of people, there were plenty of stubborn individuals who, even with their lives in the hands of others, would still criticize.
"Anyone who tries to take this will be breaking my oath!" Jiang Yuan grabbed at the bloodstone with malevolent demonic patterns on the ground, and it flew into his hand.
Ning Yanlan understood immediately, increasing the spiritual power in her hands. A chilling frost spread from her feet all the way to her waist as she coldly declared, "This is a warning! Next time!"
"Just die!"
A huge block of ice shattered into ice crystals, and Jiang Yuan and Ning Yanlan headed directly to the location of the next Demonic Bloodstone.
Even with four people working together, four Demonic Bloodstones were still stolen, and this was only within the vicinity of the Oath Base. It should be noted that the entire South City Safe Zone covers an area of over 10,000 square kilometers. With such a large area, no one knows how many Demonic Bloodstones will be lost.
"Brother Yuan, I found two pieces!" Little Fatty said breathlessly.
Leng Yue followed closely behind, carrying six or seven pieces of paper, but her expression was not good.
"Why do you all look so pale?" Little Fatty asked, puzzled.
Leng Yue shook her head and sighed, "The southern city is in complete chaos!"
"What's wrong?"
Leng Yue continued, "I just came back from the West Gate, and along the way I saw at least thirty scenes of fighting for the Demonic Bloodstone! If it weren't for the Night Child's amplification, I probably wouldn't have been able to snatch even six or seven of them!"
The Demonic Bloodstones are distributed over a long distance, so even if she is strong, she would be unable to deal with them all at once.
"What's going on? Why are these stones just popping up out of nowhere!" Little Fatty was extremely puzzled and couldn't fathom the origin of the Demonic Bloodstone.
"We must stop the action of gathering Demon God's Blood, otherwise, if other safe zones know the effects of Demon God's Blood, a large number of powerful people will come attracted by its allure. At that time, South City will really become a slaughterhouse on their path to becoming stronger!" Jiang Yuan felt that things were getting out of hand, because once Demon God's Blood took effect, it would be a chain reaction that no one could control.
“But there are only four of us. Even with the reserves, we don’t have enough manpower to control the spread of the Demonic Bloodstone. We might even become the target of everyone’s criticism for hindering others from becoming stronger!” Ning Yanlan said worriedly.
"Even if it makes us the target of everyone's criticism, we must stop it!"
Jiang Yuan shook his head and sighed, "Because once the amount of demon god blood used reaches a certain level, those demon fetuses can summon a demon lord powerful enough to destroy everything in Nancheng. At that time, not only will Nancheng be in danger, but the entire battlefield on Earth will also be affected!"
