If it belongs to the Qilin Venerable, then it holds even greater strategic value.

However, just as the researchers activated the instruments, the Ancient God's Blood in the crystal chamber began to tremble rapidly, changing from gold to pure black. Its exquisite hue faded, becoming extremely chaotic.

"Fake."

The researcher's face turned exceedingly grim as he muttered in a low voice, "No, we can't say it's fake. This is a drop of Ancient God's Blood from one of the Ancestors — it doesn't have much value. Chances are, Instructor Wan was deceived during negotiations, and someone swapped the Ancient God's Blood using some kind of method."

The Ether Association's upper echelon fell into an eerie silence.

Wan Rentu exclaimed in shock, "What are you talking about?"

Accompanied by a deafening boom, the giant clad in armor fell with a thunderous crash, its blood spraying out like a waterfall.

Amid the rumbling and trembling sounds.

Its body melted, spreading across the ice layer like molten lava.

The ground was littered with the corpses of human Ascenders.

Scattered across the ice were automatic rifles, alchemy rocket launchers, shattered blades and arrows.

The burning wreckage of helicopters blazed fiercely, seemingly on the verge of exploding.

"What a pity about the helicopter."

The Moon Princess picked up the black iron knife from the hands of the armored giant. This type of weapon, named the Demon Extinguishing Blade by the Ancient God Clan, was a kind of Alchemy Weapon made of ultra-ancient rare metals, exceptionally resilient and sharp.

It swung lightly in her hand, far superior to her vermillion Tang Blade.

"After all, the Barrier of the Sea of Eternal Life has already been lifted. All the chicken-grade organizations are going to rush here to die."

Lu Zijin lowered her head, kicked over a corpse, and searched its belongings to pull out identification documents. She remarked indifferently, "Oh, it's one of the Koreans. No wonder they're so weak, charging in here just to get slaughtered."

If the Ancient God Realm were likened to a game, then they were unquestionably the pioneers raiding the dungeon.

As for those rushing in, it's as if inexperienced players from the starter village are challenging a high-difficulty dungeon.

It would be shocking if they survived.

This group even had the nerve to covet their beauty, hoping to exploit the chaos.

"Aunt Zijin, we aren't even members of any chicken-grade organization right now. We're wild Ascenders, homeless children, worse off than this group." Moon Princess sheathed the pitch-black Demon Extinguishing Blade, muttering softly.

"Hmm? Seems true after all."

Lu Zijin covered her lips and chuckled. "You betrayed the You Ying Group, and I'm wanted by the Ether Association. How tragic."

Following this fierce battle, neither of them had sustained any significant injuries.

Because the Ancestor guarding this Ice Sealed City had already been heavily wounded beforehand and, while alive, didn't seem particularly formidable. After defeating it, they didn't even obtain a single Mythical Weapon.

Let alone other supplies.

"Shh, be careful!"

Lu Zijin appeared to sense something and hurriedly pulled her companion into an ice cavity.

The Moon Princess seemed aware. "Have the Si Family people arrived?"

"Not just them; I estimate You Ying Group fleets are here too, with Si Family members included."

Lu Zijin speculated suspiciously, "Could they be here to capture you?"

Moon Princess muttered, "That's not impossible."

After all, everyone's a snitch.

Lu Zijin hadn't been caught yet because the Ether Association was preoccupied with raiding the gatekeeper boss.

As for the Moon Princess, encountering You Ying Group personnel would indeed put her in real peril.

The Floating Airships of the You Ying Group roamed through the blizzard, while below them was a convoy of countless vehicles.

Many of these were prison transport vehicles.

They primarily carried wild Ascenders or members of feeble Extraordinary Organizations.

The Dark World had always operated this way. To prevent these clueless stragglers from wandering aimlessly and accidentally triggering dangerous traps within the Ancient God Realm, they simply captured them all.

Grabbing as many as they could along the way; if they encountered high-difficulty dungeons, the prisoners were sent in to scout the path.

It might sound cruel, but this is the way of the Ascender's world.

Anyone who ventures into the Ancient God Realm must be ready to wager their life, following the law of the jungle.

Otherwise, stay outside and hunker down.

At least there's still protection under order.

Once inside the Ancient God Realm, all bets are off.

Even the Ether Association wouldn't protect these people, as their primary goal is to eliminate the Ancient God Clan. These individuals contribute nothing to humanity's great cause and only create chaos.

It's better to let the You Ying Group capture them and use them wisely.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

The ruthless Ascenders of Ying Province slammed against the prison transport's metal bars and passed out.

Gu Jianlin wore a blank expression as he withdrew his hand. After clearing away these useless stragglers, he sat inside the prison vehicle.

This was, of course, his shadow clone, wearing a silver mask and a long black trench coat, his hair cascading down his back. His Alchemy Tang Blade had already been confiscated and was stored within the compartment ahead.

After such long journeys, even the shadow clone couldn't endure much longer. How far would this go?

So he simply feigned being a wild Ascender and got himself captured, hitching a ride.

Snowstorm winds howled in the air, with a vibrant aurora of blue overhead.

It was breathtaking.

He rested his hands behind his head, lying in his private luxury cabin, gazing at the sky above.

Suddenly, he heard a familiar voice.
