Chapter 565

After keeping the ancient medicine, the wings on Zi Chen's back flapped once again. With a speed comparable to teleportation, he disappeared from his original spot.

"Boom!"

A thick and terrifying beam of light descended from the sky, instantly drowning the place where the Ancient Medicine King had been. As the energy surged, a hundred-meter-deep hole was blasted open in the ground. Boundless energy swept through the deep hole, spreading in all directions.

The lightning snake's attack also covered a hundred-meter-wide area. It was an indiscriminate attack.

This area was instantly covered by the destructive energy. Not to mention the human trial takers, even the king-level ancient beasts would be injured by the terrifying energy if they rashly entered this area.

As expected, faint golden blood splattered everywhere. The human who had snatched the Ancient Medicine King was injured. However, it was only an injury. In the next moment, the latter flapped his wings and turned into a ray of silver light, escaping into the distance.

During this time, the energy of heaven and earth was still surging wildly. As a result, Zi Chen was once again shaken to the point of coughing up blood. However, that was all.

With the Heavenly Thunder Wings, his speed had reached a true limit. Even the king-level ancient beasts could only look up to this extreme speed.

The king-level ancient beasts that did not attack immediately were only slightly stunned. They saw that the human had already rushed out of the turbulent energy range. After reaching the edge of the turbulent energy range, the human's speed had more than doubled. In the blink of an eye, he had disappeared from their sight.

Immediately after, he disappeared from their spiritual senses.

Seeing the human coughing up blood while increasing his speed, the two king-level ancient beasts were completely dumbfounded. Then, they looked at each other. In the end, they let out an earth-shaking roar and chased after him.

However, it was a pity that at the end of their vision and spiritual senses, there was nothing. The human had already disappeared.

Wang Qiong and the rest did not go very far. When they heard the king-level ancient beasts' roars, their faces were filled with worry. Fortunately, Zi Chen caught up with them not long after.

"How was it?" When the worried crowd saw Zi Chen return, they could not help but ask.

"It was easy."

A smile appeared on Zi Chen's face. However, as soon as he finished speaking, he coughed up blood again. His face turned pale and he almost collapsed.

Everyone was shocked and quickly supported Zi Chen.

"I'm fine. It's just an energy shock. I'll recover soon," Zi Chen said nonchalantly.

"Now that we have the Ancient Medicine King, we can't stay here any longer. We have to leave quickly. Otherwise, it will be too late when the two ancient beast kings catch up," Zi Chen said.

Everyone asked again and again and got a positive answer. After confirming that Zi Chen's injuries were not serious, they sped up their journey.

Just as Zi Chen had said, the two Ancient Beast Kings had caught up to them as soon as they escaped.

While Zi Chen was running at top speed, he was slowly recovering from his injuries. After running for an hour, his injuries were completely healed.

Such astonishing recovery ability also made the crowd click their tongues in amazement. They couldn't help but marvel at the strength of Zi Chen's physique.

Because they were worried that the king-level ancient beasts would chase after them, under the guidance of the Spirit Devouring Rats, the group deliberately took a detour before slowly entering the depths.

Just for an Ancient Medicine King, they didn't believe that the two ancient beast kings would chase after them all over the world and give up such a good opportunity to explore the depths.

Zi Chen's guess was correct. The two ancient beast kings went straight for the depths. During this time, they didn't find any traces of Zi Chen, so they didn't turn back to search for him. Instead, they went straight for the depths.

They were naturally unwilling to let an Ancient Medicine King be snatched away. However, entering the depths was more important. As for Zi Chen, he was already on their minds. Once he appeared, they would definitely kill him.

There were almost no traces of humans or beasts in the outer regions. The moment they appeared, they went straight for the depths.

This was a region that no humans or beasts had set foot in for a long time. Naturally, there were many extraordinary things here. Many humans and beasts gathered here, directly causing chaos in the depths.

As they went deeper and deeper, both humans and beasts reaped bountiful rewards. Just the ancient medicine king alone had already reached the age of ten thousand years old. Among them, there were some ancient medicines that were close to ten thousand years old.

Humans killed humans, humans killed beasts, beasts killed beasts. Battles, blood, and slaughter caused this place to become incomparably chaotic. It had become a true Asura hell.

Multicolored blood constantly splattered. Beasts roared, howled, and screeched. Intense battles weren't just between the ancient beasts. Even the ancient beast kings were fighting.

Just as Zi Chen and the others, who had purposely taken a long detour, were still rejoicing over the ancient medicines they found, the humans in the depths had already begun to fight for the Ancient Medicine King.

"What dense spiritual qi. What is that?"

Under the lead of the Spirit Devouring Rats, everyone took a detour and began to go deeper. This was a region that neither humans nor ancient beasts had set foot in. They discovered a dried up pool.

The pool was originally several hundred meters wide, but now it was completely dried up. Only the center of the pool still had a small pool of water the size of a washbasin that emitted a jade-green light.

The sharp Spirit Devouring Rats had already sensed a dense spiritual qi from the jade-green light. They immediately charged forward.

The small pool of liquid emitted a dense spiritual qi and rippled with jade-green light. When everyone saw it, their eyes lit up. Then, they sped up with the Spirit Devouring Rats.

When they got closer and saw the liquid, everyone was dumbfounded.

"Heavens, what is this? Is this liquefied elemental essence?"

Looking at the basin-sized pool, Tyrant's eyes widened. He couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise.

As for the others, they were also dumbfounded. Their faces were filled with disbelief.

The small pool of liquid in the pool was actually all liquefied elemental essence. Moreover, the quality was very high. One had to know that liquefied elemental essence was sold in drops, but there was a small pool of it in front of them.

If this small puddle was divided into drops, then there should be about a thousand drops.

A thousand drops of high-quality liquefied elemental essence. What kind of situation was this?

Everyone was dumbfounded. Their breathing became hurried. A thousand drops of high-quality liquefied elemental essence represented endless wealth.

"We're rich! We're rich!" Tyrant cried out excitedly. The others' expressions weren't much better than Tyrant's.

"Over a thousand drops of liquefied elemental essence."

Zi Chen also sucked in a breath of cold air. His eyes flashed. Even he was shocked by this small pool of liquefied elemental essence.

"Take it, take it."

The excited Tyrant was the first to pounce on the liquefied elemental essence. His eyes shone with greed.

"Bang."

Zi Chen acted at the right time. He kicked away the Tyrant who was pouncing on the liquefied elemental essence and said in a low voice, "Fair distribution."

When the Spirit Devouring Rats saw this, they covered their mouths and hid off to the side, secretly laughing. The dissatisfied Tyrant, on the other hand, was grinning again after Zi Chen gave him over a hundred drops of liquefied elemental essence.

The liquefied elemental essence was divided among the group. Everyone received over a hundred drops. As for the devilish ape and the Spirit Devouring Rats, they were put away by Zi Chen for safekeeping.

After taking away the liquefied elemental essence, everyone began to pay attention to the pool. Soon, an unrealistic idea appeared in their minds.

"Could it be that there was a pool of liquefied elemental essence here many years ago?"

In the Bedlam Lands, liquefied elemental essence was auctioned off by the drop. The previous small pool of liquefied elemental essence had already shocked them greatly. Now, the huge pool in front of them was very likely filled with liquefied elemental essence. This made them even more incredulous.

But when the Spirit Devouring Rats sensed the spiritual energy in the cracked earth, everyone had no choice but to believe that there had been a pool of liquefied elemental essence here.

"What is this place? There's actually such a large pool of liquefied elemental essence here."

Obviously, no one would answer this question, nor would anyone give an answer.

Thus, after collecting the liquefied elemental essence, they continued to explore deeper. This time, they were surprisingly successful. They found several ancient medicines.

"Ancient Medicine King! Heavens, it really is an ancient medicine king!" The excited voice of the Spirit Devouring Rats rang out again.

There was an ancient medicine king in front of them. It was even older than the previous ones, and there were no king beasts to fight for it.

When Zi Chen collected the Ancient Medicine King by the roots, he still felt like he was dreaming. He didn't dare to believe it.

It seemed that everything had gone too smoothly.

Moreover, just this day's harvest was enough for them to have a better life in the Bedlam Lands in the future.

They all sighed. The Ancient Battlefield was indeed a treasure trove.

When they reached the depths, the Spirit Devouring Rats found a second ancient medicine king that no ancient beasts fought over. Everything was so illusory and unbelievable.

But this was indeed the truth. They had obtained a total of three ancient medicine kings.

When they reached the depths, they heard a series of energy explosions. These were the sounds of people fighting. Moreover, the sounds of battle were very chaotic. All kinds of sounds rose and fell continuously. Clearly, this was a chaotic battle.

"What's going on?"

Zi Chen and the others didn't know what was going on. They continued to go deeper. Then, they saw a sky full of turbulent energy. All kinds of attacks filled heaven and earth.

The humans formed groups and launched powerful attacks at the ancient beasts. As blood splattered, an ancient beast crashed to the ground, dead.

At the same time, there were also ancient beasts that formed an alliance and began to attack the human camp. For a time, the humans screamed miserably as corpses fell one after another.

In addition, there were also battles between humans and beasts. This was simply a crazy and chaotic battle. Apart from a few factions, everyone else and beasts became enemies and targets to be killed.

"That's an ancient medicine king. They're fighting over it." Amidst a cry of alarm, the group found out the reason for the crazy chaotic battle.

It was caused by ancient medicine kings. Moreover, based on visual inspection, there were at least five or six ancient medicine kings on the battlefield.

So many ancient medicine kings were enough to attract the attention of many king beasts. It was also enough to cause a battle between king beasts. However, the group quickly discovered that there was not a single king beast participating in the battle.

"Not a single king beast is here. Could it be that they all went into the depths? There's something more precious than an ancient medicine king there." Zi Chen frowned slightly.
