Chapter 198 Beast God Statue Acquired
"Oh, right, the map!"
Chen Yuan had not forgotten the purpose of his trip.
Fortunately, the power of his sword strike was fleeting, unlike the planet-destroying cannon, so after killing Feng Chen, the world lord, he did not annihilate the items in the opponent's inner world.
With a thought, the mountain of debris that had burst forth from Feng Chen's inner world was frozen in mid-air.
Chen Yuan carefully searched through the items, picking out all the valuable ones and shredding the useless junk to avoid leaving any traces.
The most precious item among them was, of course, the map he had been longing for.
Moreover, as a patrolman of the temple, Feng Chen carried the most complete batch of maps—yes, a batch, not just one.
Because the Blood Luo world is so vast, its map is divided into numerous books, their sheer number immense.
It could even fill an entire library.
Chen Yuan selected the section on "Ruins of the Ancient Gods" from the list. Upon a cursory glance, he found that it indeed contained a lot of information about the terrain and landforms, including clear descriptions of rivers and lakes.
However, due to the vast area of the ancient god ruins, spanning hundreds of billions of kilometers, the relevant maps are quite thick.
The good news is that there aren't many lakes recorded in it, and even fewer with islands in the middle, leaving only 1183.
Okay, it doesn't seem like a small number, but compared to the original 80,000+ lakes, it's much simpler.
"Now that we know the destination, it saves me the time of going down to scout it out."
Chen Yuan's primary task is to obtain the Beast God statue first, and then to go to the ancient giant pit in the Ancient God Ruins to collect Beast God image data in preparation for subsequent optimization.
As for collecting Blood Crystals, that can be left for last.
He wasn't greedy; even considering the future need for clones, a few thousand would be enough.
Chen Yuan calmly returned to the eighteenth level of the clouds and then took out the Shiyuan Palace.
"Irelia, scan the map of the Ancient God Ruins, mark the locations of all lakes with islands in the middle, and plan the optimal route."
"Understood!" Irene quickly replied, "Route planning complete, the spaceship is traveling at sub-light speed - expected to arrive at its destination in 33 days."
The Blood Luo World is neither too big nor too small.
On the scale of the primordial universe, the Blood Luo World is naturally very small, so much so that if a spaceship were to travel through the dark universe...
If you're not careful, you'll fly out of the world.
However, if we disregard the dark universe, the Blood Luo World appears incredibly vast, because even at the speed of light, it would take a year to travel from one end of the continent to the other.
Furthermore, given the internal environment of the Blood Luo World, it does not possess the conditions to exceed the speed of light, so the information transmission speed in this world is not fast.
For example, even if the news of the patrolman Feng Chen's demise were transmitted via light-speed signals, it would take at least a month for the temple to receive the message.
Waiting for the temple to send people to investigate would take even longer, which is why Chen Yuan was in no hurry.
Time passed quickly as Chen Yuan focused on his cultivation. A month may not seem long, but it was enough for Chen Yuan to comprehend the 96th essence of the Law of Time.
After arriving above the target location, Chen Yuan retrieved the Shiyuan Palace and descended back towards the Blood Luo World.
This time he didn't encounter anyone else, and the journey was peaceful. However, when he was halfway down, the surrounding clouds suddenly turned blood red, and at the same time, a murderous will tried to invade his body and soul.
Chen Yuan knew that he had arrived at the area of the ancient god's ruins. The area was filled with intense baleful energy, which would modify his body and increase his compatibility with the Blood Crystal, making it easier for them to fuse together.
However, the killing intent contained within these malevolent energies can also erode one's will and soul. Once one's will is corrupted, one will be completely transformed into a puppet who only knows how to kill—according to this saying, one can also be called a blood demon.
However, it was wishful thinking for these malevolent energies to influence Chen Yuan, since his willpower had now reached the level of a Universe Venerable.
Not to mention the malevolent energy between these clouds, even the highly concentrated malevolent energy vortex in the ancient giant pit could not erode his will in the slightest.
However, Chen Yuan did not reject the malevolent energy that entered his body, since he still needed to continue fusing with the Blood Crystal.
He then allowed these malevolent energies to transform his body.
A few minutes later, he successfully landed on the ground and indeed found a huge lake dozens of kilometers away.
Chen Yuan quickly arrived above the lake and used his mental power to carefully scan the bottom of the lake.
With his current level of spiritual power, the radius of his mental power has reached 3 kilometers. Even though the lake is quite large, it would only take Chen Yuan less than three minutes to search the entire lake.
Unfortunately, this was not the location of the ruins recorded in the original work. Chen Yuan was prepared for this, so he was not disappointed.
After all, there are more than a thousand lakes that match the original records. He didn't expect to find his target on the first try; he would just search slowly.
Soon, Chen Yuan returned to the outer heavens and traveled to the second location to explore, aboard the Shiyuan Palace.
Time passed slowly, and his exploration efficiency was extremely high. He never stayed at any location for more than ten minutes. Coupled with the high speed of the Shiyuan Palace, he explored more than 300 marked locations in less than ten days.
Ten days later, Chen Yuan arrived at the location of the 382nd lake recorded on the map, and this time he immediately noticed something unusual as soon as he landed.
There's no other reason than that there are native cultivators in this lake, and they are even at the level of a realm lord!
"The realm lord-level expert who cultivates on the island in the middle of the lake, and whose physical characteristics perfectly match the 'seductive youth' in the original work."
This person must be "Kurun," who discovered the Beast God statue.
Under the scan of his mental power, Chen Yuan had a clear understanding of everything in this area.
"According to the original timeline, this Kurun should have been obtained by Luo Feng eighty years after he came to the Blood Luo World.
Chen Yuan strolled across the calm lake. This time, he deliberately used his mental power to conceal himself, so neither the seductive young man "Ku Run" who was cultivating on the island in the middle of the lake nor his subordinates outside could detect Chen Yuan's presence.
"It's been less than twenty years since Luo Feng arrived in the Blood Luo World. The ruins containing the Beast God statue should still be at the bottom of the lake—."
As Chen Yuan used his mental powers to explore the bottom of the lake, he soon discovered something unusual: "Found it! The ruins are indeed here!"
Of course, the so-called "relics" are actually just spatial equipment carried by an immortal god.
This bracelet-shaped spatial device had been on the verge of collapse over the long years and would be completely destroyed decades later, causing the items inside to leak out, which is how it was discovered by the fox-like youth's subordinates.
Chen Yuan quickly arrived at the bottom of the lake and used his telekinesis to retrieve a bracelet-shaped spatial device from the ground.
"This is it."
Using his telekinetic powers, he immediately spotted the beast god statue in the bracelet's space. After all, this thing was made of precious 'jade gold,' making it exceptionally conspicuous.
Chen Yuan stored all the items inside the bracelet into his spatial ring, then exerted a little force on his hand, and his primal force turned the fragile bracelet into powder.
"Now that we have the Beast God statue, it's time to leave."
Not long after, Chen Yuan left the lake, his figure soaring into the sky, and quickly returned to the heavens.
The entire process was completely silent. From beginning to end, the fox-like young man named "Ku Run," who was focused on his cultivation, did not notice anything unusual and thus missed his original opportunity.
However, from another perspective, this actually saved his life—in the original work, Kurun's fate was precisely because of the Beast God statue.
He thus died under Luo Feng's Star Destroyer Cannon.
Although the seductive young man has lost his possessions, at least he has saved his life, which is the best outcome for him.
Meanwhile, Chen Yuan, who had returned to the Shiyuan Hall, also took out the Beast God statue.
"Does this statue truly embody the spirit of a beast god?"
After examining it over and over for a long time, but still unable to discern anything special, Chen Yuan shook his head slightly: "It seems that this thing must be paired with a specific bloodline. No wonder the immortals of the Blood Luo World have studied the statue for countless epochs without being able to figure out its secrets."
Fortunately, he still had the system. Chen Yuan instructed, "System, record the essence of the Beast God in the statue."
[Scanning in progress - collection expected to complete in 10 minutes.]
"Ten minutes, not bad." Chen Yuan nodded. Once he obtained the Beast God's Intent, this statue would be useless to him.
"In that case, it's time to move on to the next stop."
Chen Yuan instructed, "Irene, proceed towards the area where Luo Feng is located."
"Yes, sir!"
As Ireil finished speaking, the Primordial Palace in the void changed direction and began to speed towards a "giant pit" on the map.
