Chapter 1040 You Can't Go Back
The blood energy monster was extremely enraged.
It had initially thought it could absorb the blood energy of the martial artists outside, but not only did it fail to absorb any blood energy, it also died directly at their hands.
Dying once consumed a considerable amount of blood energy!
Furthermore, the blood energy required for its revival was not the extremely low-grade blood energy found in this ancient battlefield, but rather a higher-grade blood energy essence!
"You all must die! You will all become my food!"
With a thought, the blood energy monster began to gather the surrounding monsters.
It was determined to capture those martial artists.
As for the fellow who had been continuously devouring blood energy, it decided to leave it for now.
After all, even if it let the other party absorb it, it couldn't absorb too much in such a short period.
The ancient battlefield was not small by any means.
At this moment, Chen Yang, upon seeing the omen change from extremely inauspicious to extremely auspicious, said to Chen Shu, "It seems we're safe now, but we still need to find a more secure place and move further away!" Although he didn't understand what was happening.
The two of them did not continue absorbing there but found a place even farther away.
This time, their location was so remote that they couldn't even sense the distant battle.
"Pulling radishes, pulling radishes."
Chen Yang hummed as he pulled a medicinal herb from the ground with both hands.
Zhou Zeyaohad said that the more things, the better, so Chen Yang naturally wanted to get more back.
He glanced at the number of mysterious medicinal herbs in his tree mound space and nodded with satisfaction.
There were already over a hundred medicinal herbs.
Although the search area was vast, Chen Yang was quite pleased.
Chen Yang could feel that the medicinal properties of the herbs were very potent, and he was already contemplating how to utilize them.
In addition to these, there were also some other peculiar herbs, or rather, plants he had never seen before, and he took some of each.
This space and the ancient battlefield had given Chen Yang too many surprises.
Just as Chen Yang was happily collecting herbs and protecting Chen Shu, a figure suddenly appeared, making Chen Yang pause in surprise.
"Chen Yang!"
The other party's eyes widened in disbelief upon seeing Chen Yang.
The two had met not long ago; more accurately, he had fled from Chen Yang.
The person who appeared before Chen Yang was Shi Tianning.
Shi Tianning had been with Sheng Yue Shen Zun all along. Upon entering this ancient battlefield, Sheng Yue Shen Zun had instructed him to collect some items in the vicinity.
Unexpectedly, while collecting, Shi Tianning suddenly encountered a martial artist.
Even more terrifyingly, he recognized this guy!
It was Chen Yang, the person he least wanted to see.
A strange smile appeared on Chen Yang's face as he said, "I was wondering earlier why so many people were entering this space. Now that I don't see you, I think I understand it all."
Upon hearing this, Shi Tianning wore a wry smile and was about to turn and leave, but he was suddenly blocked by Chen Yang's reappearance.
Shi Tianning could not escape Chen Yang's Tian Xing Secret Technique.
Shi Tianning swallowed nervously, his voice trembling, "Chen Yang, you mustn't act rashly here. There are many monsters around. If you make a move, those monsters might come to surround you. No matter how powerful you are, you'll be trapped here."
Chen Yang had never expected Shi Tianning to know all these things.
More importantly, his peak Grandmaster realm seemed very stable.
He could pass through the spatial channel without any injuries...
After all, Shi Tianning had only been a Grandmaster martial artist before!
"How long do you think it would take me to kill you? By the time your blood energy attracts those monsters, I would have already left."
"Besides, even if those monsters come, so what?"
"But don't worry, I won't deal with you right now. I still need to ask you about Sheng Yue Shen Zun!"
Chen Yang was now a hundred percent certain that the ancient martial artists and Zhang Laoguai entering this space must be related to Sheng Yue Shen Zun.
Shi Tianning was on the verge of tears upon hearing this.
"I... don't ask me anything, I really don't know. He keeps me by his side and doesn't let me leave. I actually want to go back!"
Shi Tianning was not a tough character. Even before Chen Yang made a move, he had started to confess.
Since following Sheng Yue Shen Zun, Shi Tianning had always felt uneasy.
Even though he had become a peak Grandmaster!
Shi Tianning had always believed that the peak Grandmaster realm was the most powerful existence. However, after observing for some time...
Shi Tianning had fully realized that the peak Grandmaster realm was merely a threshold.
Whether a martial artist was powerful or not was not determined by their realm, as only those who reached the peak Grandmaster realm were qualified to be participants.
Shi Tianning knew very well that he was someone without a strong foundation. Everything he possessed now was built upon Sheng Yue Shen Zun.
This was not what he wanted!
Although Shi Tianning harbored resentment towards Chen Yang, when it came to the matter of survival, everything else took a backseat.
Chen Yang was not encountering Shi Tianning for the first time and naturally knew his character.
Seeing that Shi Tianning was willing to speak, Chen Yang did not act immediately. He spread his spiritual energy outwards and asked, "How did you enter this space? Since Sheng Yue Shen Zun has kept you by his side, where is he now?"
Facing Chen Yang's questioning, Shi Tianning immediately told him about the spatial channel without hesitation.
These were all arranged by Sheng Yue Shen Zun, and it had nothing to do with him.
As for Sheng Yue Shen Zun's current location, Shi Tianning was also clueless.
"When we entered the ancient battlefield earlier, we were still together, but he left alone just now, saying someone was fighting, and told me to collect some things around here."
Before Chen Yang could speak, Shi Tianning took out a small pouch himself.
After taking the item, Chen Yang's eyebrows rose slightly. "Spatial treasure? Sheng Yue Shen Zun seems to care a lot about you, willing to give you such a treasure."
This genuinely baffled Chen Yang.
If Sheng Yue Shen Zun wanted to develop his own forces, it would be a simple matter, and there would surely be a large number of martial artists following him.
In Chen Yang's opinion, anyone would be better than the Shi Tianning before him.
As Chen Yang pondered, he used his spiritual energy to examine the contents of the pouch.
Upon seeing the items inside, Chen Yang exclaimed, "Huh? What's going on?"
Chen Shu, who had almost finished absorbing the surrounding blood energy, also walked over.
