Chapter 97: First Steps on the Demonic Path (9)
After devouring Zhan Huntian's origin essence, Su Chen left the battlefield.
The Purple Extreme Demon Venerable—who had fallen during the Southwestern Domain war, leaving behind only a wisp of remnant soul that had seized the body of a Sun-Devouring Sacred Land true disciple to be reborn—had now died beyond any possibility of revival. An old monster had encountered an even older one. This was probably an outcome the Purple Extreme Demon Venerable could never have dreamed of.
The ancient ruin was said to be the battlefield of ancient Saints. A cataclysmic war that once swept across all five domains had erupted here. Countless powerhouses perished, including dozens of Saints.
Su Chen's goal was the remnant saint artifact left behind by the Primordial Remnant Clan's Saint Ancestor. Guided by the pull of his bloodline, he easily reached the place where that ancient powerhouse had fallen.
Over tens of thousands of years, the site had transformed into a vast underground world. Following the bloodline's guidance, Su Chen arrived before a tattered soul banner.
"This must be the saint artifact left by that ancestor of the Primordial Remnant Clan. Only someone with the Primordial King Bloodline can take it. Unfortunately…"
Su Chen felt a trace of disappointment. The soul banner was indeed a saint artifact, but it had suffered catastrophic damage. Even if activated, its power would at best reach quasi-Saint level. The ferocity of that ancient battle was evident—capable of shattering even a saint artifact.
"Wait… no."
A glint flashed through Su Chen's eyes.
