Chapter 818

Zi Chen's normally rosy complexion turned pale in the next moment. Under the crazy devouring of the giant egg, both his blood essence and normal blood were rapidly draining away.

Zi Chen's blood essence was almost instantly devoured by half. However, this was not the end, but the beginning.

The blood in Zi Chen's body flowed out at a crazy speed. Zi Chen's face was filled with panic. He tried to break free, but it was as if the hand was a part of his body. He could not shake it off at all. He could only watch as he was sucked dry.

In the blink of an eye, half of his blood essence was gone. Not even a quarter of Zi Chen's blood was left.

Just as the blood in Zi Chen's body was about to be sucked dry, and Zi Chen's life essence was about to be sucked dry, the giant cyan egg finally gave up and slowly let go of Zi Chen. Zi Chen no longer had the strength to stand, and he sat down on the ground. His entire body was limp, and his face revealed an expression of someone who had just survived a calamity.

The man rushed forward and brought the weak Zi Chen down.

"Here, quickly swallow this to recover." The man handed Zi Chen an object. It was shining brightly. It was the Fruit of Strength.

Zi Chen took it and weakly swallowed it. Then, he sat down cross-legged and began to recover his strength.

The Fruit of Strength entered his body and quickly replenished Zi Chen's lost blood and strength. The man beside him watched quietly and did not disturb him.

On the broken altar, after absorbing Zi Chen's blood essence, the giant green egg finally showed a trace of vitality.

One Fruit of Strength allowed Zi Chen to fully recover his strength. Zi Chen opened his eyes and looked at the man with dissatisfaction. He had almost died just now.

The man's eyes were filled with admiration. He praised, "As expected of a perfect body cultivator. This power is really strong. If it was anyone else, they would have been sucked dry."

"You want to harm me? If I was an ordinary person, I would have died long ago." Zi Chen glared at him to express his anger.

The man laughed and said, "If you were an ordinary person, you wouldn't have the qualifications to be here. You wouldn't have the qualifications to accept my ten Fruits of Strength."

The man's words proved that he was the Barbarian God. Zi Chen looked at him. "You've planned this all along."

The man shook his head and smiled faintly. "It can't be considered a scheme. I've just been waiting for the Perfect Physique Cultivators to arrive. So many years have passed, and I haven't met a single one. I thought that something had happened to the Starting Ground and that it had become foul. Fortunately, you came. It seems that the Starting Ground is still considered a pure land that hasn't been polluted.

"What do you mean?" Zi Chen was puzzled.

The man said, "This is the ultimate path of Perfect Body Cultivators, but you have to enter from the Ancient Road of the Strongest Trial. You should be from there, right?"

Zi Chen nodded. Then, he clenched his teeth and said, "I was tricked by them. Otherwise, I would have entered the first grade ancient path."

A strange expression appeared on the man's face again. "What kind of place do you think the Ancient Road of the Strongest Trial is? Do you think that anyone can enter? Stop dreaming. If you don't have the strongest talent, no one will let you enter. If they tricked you, they would have sent you to the first grade ancient path. If you entered the first grade ancient path, as a Perfect Body Cultivator, you would have missed this place. That would be your greatest loss."

"What's going on?" Zi Chen looked at the man in confusion.

"The true purpose of the Ancient Road of the Strongest Trial is to nurture peerless experts. Anyone who comes out alive from the Ancient Road of the Strongest Trial is an existence that can shake the entire Martial Sky Continent in the future. Among the numerous Ancient Roads, only the two most ancient Ancient Roads can nurture such experts. One is the strongest Ancient Road, which is the one you entered. The other is known as the most special and mysterious Ancient Road, which is the ninth grade Ancient Road."

"What? The ninth grade Ancient Road? You mean the one with the greatest chance of survival? That place can nurture peerless experts?"

Zi Chen's eyes widened in disbelief. He believed the man when he said that the strongest Ancient Road could nurture peerless experts. But he also included the ninth grade Ancient Road. That was something he didn't agree with.

"The ninth grade Ancient Road and the strongest Ancient Road of the Strongest Trial were naturally formed. No one knows their origins. Or perhaps it could be said that the history of these two Ancient Roads is as long as the Martial Sky Continent. The ninth grade Ancient Road is known as the most special and mysterious Ancient Road of the Strongest Trial. When it opens on its own, it will release an unfathomable energy. If it doesn't open on its own, then the ninth grade Ancient Road is naturally the weakest. However, as far as I know, the strongest Ancient Road of the Strongest Trial has opened many times, but the ninth grade Ancient Road of the Strongest Trial has never opened. As for the first and eighth grade Ancient Roads, they were artificially created later on. They are the training grounds of the Martial Sky Continent's experts."

What the man told Zi Chen was clearly the secrets of the Ancient Road. When Zi Chen heard this, he was incomparably shocked. The Ancient Road that had appeared on its own was already strange, but to be able to create it, it was naturally even more extraordinary.

"I have two friends who also entered the Ancient Road of the Strongest like me. However, we are not in the same place. Could it be that the Ancient Road of the Strongest isn't just a single ancient road, but many?" Zi Chen asked in puzzlement.

"Ordinary people can't enter the Ancient Road of the Strongest Trial. Everyone who enters has their own Ancient Road that is suitable for them. It's normal that you haven't met them. For example, this place is extremely suitable for Perfect Physique Cultivators. There are also Perfect Physique Cultivators' techniques, but it might not be suitable for your friend."

"You're saying that they'll also find a suitable training ground for them. One of them is a monk, and the other is a Sky Rending Battle Ape. Do you know which two heavens they'll be on?" Zi Chen asked, his face filled with anticipation.

The man looked at Zi Chen with a strange look in his eyes, but he didn't answer.

"Why aren't you saying anything?"

"This involves some secrets that can't be revealed."

"There's only the two of us here. What's there that can't be said? Besides, you've already offended someone and been demoted. Are you still afraid of secrets being revealed?"

The man thought about it seriously, but he still didn't tell Zi Chen. He only faintly muttered, "I remember that there really is a monk in a certain place. Moreover, there's also a place where many Outsiders have died."

At this point, the man didn't say anything else. Zi Chen already felt relieved. As expected, the other two ancient roads were extremely suitable for the monk and the Devil Ape. As for entering the Ancient Road of the Strongest Trial, it was also deliberately arranged by the guardians of the Ancient Road of the Strongest Trial. However, Zi Chen couldn't understand why they had put on a double act.

After the dragon egg swallowed the blood essence, it didn't hatch immediately. Although the vitality inside was rich, it needed to awaken on its own. It needed to wait patiently.

Moreover, the man clearly told him that once the dragon hatched, Zi Chen could bring it away and explore the Ancient Road of the Strongest Trial.

After that, the man told Zi Chen some information about the Ancient Road. These were all true secrets. Although they weren't confidential, they benefited Zi Chen a lot.

For example, the man clearly told Zi Chen what the Body Cultivator Lineage was. The Body Cultivator Lineage referred to the Body Cultivator Lineage. The strongest physique of this lineage was the Perfect Body.

Zi Chen also asked an extremely important question, "When the Perfect Body is cultivated to the extreme, it can evolve into the Fruit of Strength."

The man answered seriously, "Of course, the Fruit of Strength is the Inheritance Power of the Perfect Body Cultivator. Without the Fruit of Strength, it's almost impossible for the Perfect Body Cultivator to reach the Perfect Trial."

Zi Chen looked at the man again and asked expectantly, "Can the Fruit of Strength be evolved in the Mortal Origin Realm?"

"Mortal Origin Realm? How is that possible?"

The man curled his lips and said, "Not to mention the Mortal Origin Realm, even the Earth Origin Realm, which is stronger than the Mortal Origin Realm, might not have this ability. As for whether the Heaven Origin Realm can evolve it, I don't know."

It was also the first time Zi Chen knew that there were two realms after the Mortal Origin Realm. After the Core Realm were the Heaven Realm, and the Mortal Realm. As for whether the Immortal Realm was after the Heaven Realm, Zi Chen didn't know and didn't ask. Right now, he wasn't even in the Mortal Origin Realm, so there was no need for him to know so many illusory realms.

"If you can't condense the Fruit of Strength, where did your Fruit of Strength come from?" Zi Chen asked doubtfully.

"You said these."

The man stretched out his hand and several Fruits of Strength appeared in his hand. "Some of these were left behind by the Barbarian God. The others were condensed by me by borrowing some of the Rule Power and the power of the Mortal Origin Realm."

Seeing the man casually take out a handful of Fruits of Strength, Zi Chen's eyes flashed with a strange light. He asked in shock, "Borrowing the Rule Power? You can actually borrow the Rule Power? This is unbelievable. However, I think it's very difficult to condense the Fruit of Strength with the Rule Power."

"How is that possible? I just casually took one." The man didn't seem to care about the Fruit of Strength at all.

"Is that so?"

Zi Chen's eyes suddenly lit up. "Since you can casually take one, why don't you wave your hand a few more times and give me more?"

"Your power has reached a bottleneck. You need luck to break through. It's useless to give you more." The man curled his lips.

"I don't expect to break through. Can't I use it to recover my power? Also, it's useless to me, but it should be useful to my friends. If I have the chance to meet them, I'll give it to them." Zi Chen said.

The man looked at Zi Chen. "You're giving my things to them."

Zi Chen also looked at the man and said, "You can take out one with a wave of your hand. It's not like you'll lose anything. What's there to be afraid of if you give me more? Moreover, you said that after the torvosaurus is born, its strength won't be very strong. I still have to protect it.

"But as far as I know, you already have a lot of Little Devil Wine. That can help you recover your power." The man said.

Zi Chen's face was dejected as he said, "Fine, I'll tell you the truth. I was cheated in the Starting Ground. Most of my resources are gone. I want these Fruits of Strength because I want to exchange them for resources. You came out from the ancient road, so you should know how dangerous it is if you don't have any resources and can't replenish your energy."

The man seemed to be moved by Zi Chen's words and sank into his memories. After a while, he nodded and said, "Yes, that's indeed the case. Since that's the case, I'll give you more Fruits of Strength."

The man wasn't stingy and directly gave Zi Chen dozens of Fruits of Strength. Zi Chen received them and was immediately overjoyed. There were actually fifty Fruits of Strength.

Fifty Fruits of Strength. Zi Chen was delighted, but he still wanted to be happy. He looked at the man again.
