After confirming their destination, Chris and the others headed toward the point marked on both maps.
Half a month later, after slaughtering an unknown number of demonic resentful remnants along the way, they finally arrived at one of the locations marked on the maps.
“This is it. I can already sense the aura of Demon Essence Star Ore!”
Mo Xingtian’s expression immediately turned excited.
“With killing laws this dense, there has to be at least one mine shaft here.”
The more experienced Chris made his judgment. Looking at the thick black mist ahead, he warned, “Everyone, be careful. There are usually large numbers of demonic resentful remnants wandering around Demon Essence Star Ore.”
At his words, the other two Feather Spirit clansmen slowly moved closer to Liya, positioning themselves around her protectively.
“They’re merely residual spirits. What’s there to fear? Hurry up and collect the Demon Essence Star Ore here, then move on to the next location.”
Confident in his own abilities, Mo Xingtian paid the demonic resentful remnants no heed at all. He strode directly toward the black mist, adding as he went,
“If we waste too much time, the other marked locations may be occupied and stripped clean by cultivators from various factions. If that happens, who knows how long it will take to find more Demon Essence Star Ore?”
Seeing Mo Xingtian enter first, the others exchanged glances and had no choice but to follow.
Though those demonic resentful remnants were troublesome, Mo Xingtian’s words were not without reason.
After all, at least several million cultivators had entered the ancient realm. It was inevitable that much of their information would overlap.
As they continued killing demonic resentful remnants and advanced into the black mist, they indeed discovered a mine shaft. A faint aura of slaughter and bloodlust drifted out from within.
“There really is a mine shaft. The aura is faint, but there should be quite a bit of Demon Essence Star Ore inside. Be careful—the demonic resentful remnants in there will be much stronger than those outside.”
Chris reminded them.
Mo Xingtian remained utterly fearless, charging headlong into the mine shaft. With a casual wave of his hand, he annihilated swarms of demonic resentful remnants rushing toward him. His expression was arrogant, as though he alone reigned supreme. From time to time, he glanced back at Mo Tianxiao, seemingly provoking him.
Chris and the two Feather Spirit clansmen took the lead, dealing with the demonic resentful remnants charging from ahead, while Liya and Mo Tianxiao guarded the rear and eliminated any that slipped through.
Mo Tianxiao did not notice Mo Xingtian’s provocation in the slightest. He was completely immersed in the delight of capturing demonic resentful remnants.
Every demonic resentful remnant that rushed at him was caught in his grasp without exception, then refined into the Human Emperor Banner in an instant.
The strengths of these demonic resentful remnants varied greatly. The weakest he had encountered so far possessed combat strength comparable to the Foundation Establishment realm, while the strongest could rival a quasi-Dao Master realm expert.
Moreover, these demonic resentful remnants were not, as Liya had claimed, all mindless fragments of souls driven only by slaughter.
On the contrary, after being collected into the Human Emperor Banner, the more powerful ones displayed a considerable range of emotions—the most obvious of which was fear.
The stronger they were, the greater the degree of intelligence they demonstrated.
This meant that through these demonic resentful remnants, he could learn about the ancient realm in many ways, perhaps even use them to locate the veins of Demon Essence Star Ore.
However, the demonic grudge remnants he had captured so far were all too weak. Very few displayed any intelligence. After being taken into the Human Emperor Banner, most could only feel fear; some could not even express fear, merely standing there blankly.
Mo Tianxiao showed no mercy toward such fragmented souls. He directly fed them to the brothers within the Human Emperor Banner as nourishment. As for those remnants with formidable combat strength and intelligence, they could be kept as fighting forces.
Perhaps he could even raise the Human Emperor Banner’s grade here, upgrading it from a Million Soul Banner to a Ten Million Soul Banner.
As they entered the mine tunnel, the power of the Law of Slaughter permeated the air, continuously eroding their divine senses and beguiling them, filling their minds with nothing but slaughter.
“Be sure to use the power of your laws to resist the aura of the Law of Slaughter. If it invades your minds, it will impair your judgment and make you bloodthirsty,” Chris warned once again.
The demonic grudge remnants ambushing them from all around had gradually reached a strength comparable to cultivators of the Dao Mastery Realm. From time to time, remnants even appeared that rivaled late-stage Dao Mastery Realm cultivators.
Naturally, this level of demonic grudge remnant was still manageable for the group.
“It’s right up ahead!”
Mo Xingtian’s delighted voice came from the front. “It really is a Demon Origin Star mine!”
“Kill!”
Just as Mo Xingtian was rejoicing, a sudden change occurred. A low roar shook the entire mine tunnel, and terrifying resentment, mixed with vast power of the Law of Slaughter, surged toward him.
“Boom!”
The attack came far too suddenly. Even Mo Xingtian, a mid-stage Dao Attainment Realm cultivator, failed to react in time. His chest was struck by a sharp claw formed from the Law of Slaughter.
The next instant, Mo Xingtian’s body flew backward like a falling meteor, crashing hard into the pitch-black Demon Origin Star ore crystals lining the tunnel.
“Tch. Damn remnant!”
Mo Xingtian was no ordinary cultivator. Though his clothes had been torn open across the chest by the claw, his body had not suffered the slightest injury.
“Young Master Mo, be careful! This demonic grudge remnant is already as powerful as a late-stage Dao Attainment Realm cultivator!”
Chris rushed over and was about to destroy the demonic grudge remnant, but Mo Xingtian stopped him.
“I’ll deal with it. It’s only a remnant.”
Having been ambushed by a mere remnant, Mo Xingtian could not quite save face. The moment he rose to his feet, he charged at the creature. His body erupted with five-colored light as the five powers of wood, fire, earth, metal, and water converged.
“Five Elements Annihilation Art!”
The five laws condensed into a disc in Mo Xingtian’s hands, radiating a terrifying halo of law power as it shot directly toward the charging demonic grudge remnant.
“Rumble!”
The massive mine tunnel shook violently once more. Had the Demon Origin Star mine not been incomparably sturdy, this strike might have destroyed the entire tunnel.
Once the dense energy dissipated, the demonic grudge remnant, whose strength rivaled that of a late-stage Dao Attainment Realm cultivator, had already been reduced to ashes.
“So this is the power of the Five Elements Treasure Body? Young Master Mo truly deserves to be called the greatest genius among the younger generation of the Shamo Clan. Fighting above his level is as effortless as drinking water.”
Seeing Mo Xingtian display such might, Chris naturally did not hold back in praising him.
Chris had long expected Mo Xingtian to defeat this remnant spirit. After all, he was a genius of the Shamo Clan and possessed the formidable Five Elements Treasure Body, a special physique. Even at the Dao-Manifestation Realm, he had already mastered the power of five laws.
Against a demon-wraith remnant spirit that had merely grasped a thousand strands of the Law of Slaughter and could barely rival the combat strength of a late-stage Dao-Manifestation cultivator, failing to crush it utterly would have made his reputation undeserved.
Mo Xingtian casually waved a hand, his expression brimming with arrogance. “If I hadn’t been careless, a remnant spirit at this level wouldn’t even have been able to touch me.”
As he spoke, he did not forget to cast a provocative glance at Mo Tianxiao, as though saying, “Faced with an opponent like me, what does a weak human like you have to compete with?”
Mo Tianxiao had long since become immune to such behavior. He had already categorized Mo Xingtian as mentally unsound; no matter how incomprehensible the other man’s actions were, he could somehow accept them.
“So it was Brother Xingtian. I was wondering who had caused such a commotion.”
Just then, a rough voice rang out from outside. Several figures, each four or five meters tall, slowly emerged from the black mist.
