BTTH: I have a key to travel to Wu Dong Qian Kun.

Chapter 224: Chaotic Demon Sea

In a primeval forest, there was a campsite.

"Roar! Roar!"

At that moment, many ferocious beasts had already charged into the camp, causing a large number of warriors to perish.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, a beam of light appeared, followed by the arrival of a handsome young man—Xiao Tian.

"Senior, please help us!" a delicate young girl in the camp cried out.

"Buzz!"

With a thought, Xiao Tian caused all the beasts to instantly turn into blood mist. Simultaneously, a black-clad man far away also died instantly.

"Thank you, senior, for your assistance!" The people in the camp bowed respectfully.

Xiao Tian descended and looked at the young girl, asking, "Where is this place? Is it the Chaotic Demon Sea?"

"Senior, this is the Xuanling Island in the Tianfeng Sea Region of the Chaotic Demon Sea," the girl quickly replied.

"Xuanling Island?" Xiao Tian thought for a moment and then recalled that this was where Lin Dong had once broken through to the Life and Death Realm.

He nodded and then asked, "In which direction is the Martial Gathering Island?"

"Senior, are you heading to the Martial Gathering Island?" At this moment, another beautiful woman stepped forward.

She took out a map and handed it to Xiao Tian, saying, "Senior, this is a map of the Chaotic Demon Sea."

"Thanks."

Xiao Tian took the map and prepared to leave.

The beautiful woman suddenly asked, "Senior, are you interested in the Life and Death Spiritual Fruit?"

Xiao Tian glanced at the women with a faint smile, "You want me to help you obtain it?"

The woman, feeling slightly embarrassed, said, "With your abilities, senior, obtaining the Life and Death Spiritual Fruit would be easy. We can show you its location in hopes that you might share one or two with us."

"Alright, let's go."

With a wave of his sleeve, Xiao Tian brought the two women with him.

Soon, they appeared on the mountaintop of Xuanling Mountain.

At the summit, there was an exceptionally large lake, about a thousand feet wide, with sparkling waves. At the center of the lake was a lush island, from which faint, mysterious light emanated from the ground.

"Boom!"

As they arrived, a huge black shadow emerged from the water, transforming into a massive three-headed serpent. As soon as this three-headed serpent appeared, it exuded a dense, ferocious aura that made the two women tremble.

But Xiao Tian merely glanced at it, and the serpent whimpered and lay down as if gravely injured.

With another thought, Xiao Tian caused the island in the center of the lake to tremble, and a lush green tree, like jade, emerged from the ground.

On this tree were six green fruits, each surrounded by rings of light, making the surrounding energy seem alive.

"Six Life and Death Spiritual Fruits!"

The beautiful young woman's eyes gleamed with joy upon seeing the fruits.

"Gather!"

With another thought, Xiao Tian drew the surrounding energy towards the island, continuously infusing it into the tree. Soon, three more fruits appeared, making a total of nine.

Xiao Tian grabbed eight fruits, leaving one for the three-headed serpent. He handed two to the young women and kept the remaining six for himself.

Although he didn't need the Life and Death Spiritual Fruit, he could give them to Ying Huanhuan, Ling Qingzhu, and others.

"Alright, the Life and Death Spiritual Fruits are yours. Go ahead and refine them. As for leaving the mountain, that's up to you."

With a glance, Xiao Tian stepped forward and disappeared into the space.

"Sister, am I dreaming?" the delicate girl murmured.

The beautiful woman, looking at Xiao Tian's departing figure and then at the fruit in her hand, said, "Of course not. This is our great fortune. I just wish we knew his name so we could repay him."

The delicate girl giggled, "Sister, do you want to offer yourself to him?"

"Why not? The senior is not only powerful but also handsome," the beautiful woman replied, her eyes filled with admiration.

Unknown to them, Xiao Tian hadn't left but followed the three-headed serpent to the bottom of the lake.

The reason this place could produce the Life and Death Spiritual Fruit was due to the presence of Heart Life Essence at the lake's bottom. This treasure contained extremely pure life force, which was beneficial even to those at the peak of the Life and Death Realm.

As he descended, the water grew hotter until he reached the bottom, where the water turned into magma, creating an unusual sight of coexistence between water and fire.

With a flash of his different fire, Xiao Tian dove into the magma.

Beneath the magma was an open plaza, devoid of any water or magma.

At the center was a stone pool about dozens of feet wide, filled with red magma. At the center of this magma, green light spots continuously emerged, forming a palm-sized green paste, exuding a strong life force.

This was the Heart Life Essence.

Xiao Tian noticed an array spread across the plaza, a relic of the ancient Flame Lord.

With a wave, he drew the Heart Life Essence to him.

The array lit up, and two red beams silently shot towards him.

"Slash!"

A space crack appeared before him, absorbing the beams and closing afterward.

Without alerting the Flame Lord, Xiao Tian turned and left.

...

Xiao Tian traveled through space to the Martial Gathering Island, home to the Desolate Ancient Tower, where the Ancient Desolate Lord resided.

However, he was not here for the Ancient Desolate Lord but to absorb the Desolate Qi, which could cleanse his body and aid in his cultivation of the Azure Dragon Art.

Additionally, the Desolate Qi could restore some of the Ancestral Stone's power.

At the island's center stood a massive mountain. At its peak was a verdant clearing with a stone path leading to a spacious plaza, and at the plaza's end stood a nine-story, hundred-foot-tall green stone tower covered in intricate natural patterns, exuding an ancient aura.

Xiao Tian sensed an array outside the tower, set up by later generations to prevent entry.

Ignoring the array, Xiao Tian used the Space Ancestral Symbol to silently enter.

After all, the tower belonged to the Ancient Desolate Lord, and no one else had any say.
