The silvery white and bone-like fingers extended inch by inch, eventually lightly touching the Root of Corruption that was flowing with thick, deep red blood.
The identity of the hero echoed the heavens and the earth, emanating a dazzling Power of Purification from the fingertips.
Like the light of evolution, this brilliant white light blossomed like a small scorching sun rising in the dark underground space, but it did not affect the distant ghosts.
This was the Light of Rules.
In an instant, the drifting wisps of red mist around it dissipated, and the dispersed Power of Purification started to converge towards the center, restrained in one point. The dazzling sunlight turned into a white light pillar. Within this radiant and dazzling light pillar, the Root of Corruption, growing and branching like a tree, its exterior fell off inch by inch, like scabs from a wound. Eventually, the entire crimson tree was annihilated in the purifying white light.
The white light pillar thinned from thick to thin until it was just a thin thread that turned into a dot of light, dissipating between heaven and earth.
Only leaving behind several Light Balls floating.
These were the rewards for purifying evil.
In the distance, Duo Lai trudged over, first gathering the equipment wreckage collected by the Skeletons into his Dimensional Space, then craned over to look at these Light Balls.
“If you want to open them, then you do it.”
“Yay~!”
Duo Lai approached, as he currently existed in humanoid form, first he rubbed his hands together, blew a few breaths, then began to open the Light Balls.
The first Light Ball contained 2.5 Soul Crystals.
That wasn’t much.
Even though the Earth Rock Dragon was a BOSS with strong Combat Power that could overwhelm any ordinary Elite-level, this Root of Corruption was not aged enough to produce much.
As for exploiting BUGs and not purifying, keeping the Root of Corruption instead?
In the past, some Lords did so. However, could the rules of an entire vast world be so simple to exploit? The Lords who attempted this not only caused the Land of Filth to continuously expand, drawing a Monster Tide to attack the city, nearly causing a tragedy. In the end, they purified the rather high-spec Root of Corruption, but only received scattered gifts of heaven and earth, which were almost nothing.
Previously, the Earth Rock Dragon also produced 1.01 Soul Crystals, a Rare Level Remnantsoul, and a piece of special material.
This was already a pretty good harvest.
Besides, it eliminating the potential danger of the Earth Rock Dragon.
Otherwise, if this massive creature were to charge towards the territory, it would be hard for them to get rid of it unscathed.
The second Light Ball, Duo Lai opened to reveal a ‘Boundary Breaking Stone (Rare Level)’.
This one-time use item was powerful, capable of breaking many strong… enchantments that even Dead Bone might not be able to forcefully break at the current stage.
However, there was no chance to use it presently.
Now, only the last Light Ball remained.
Duo Lai held a serious expression, like facing a great enemy, his verdant fingers trembling a little as he touched it.
Little ball!
Hurry up and give something good!
‘Ding!’
‘Prompt: You have obtained the special item ‘Key to the Secret Region’.’
Duo Lai widened his eyes, not knowing whether this was good or bad. They didn’t even give a grade label, terrible!
After the unboxing, Duo Lai had skeletons cut the colossal Earth Rock Dragon into pieces, preparing to bring some game meat back for the Great Lord to look at.
These creatures living in the Land of Filth were generally not suitable for consumption. However, considering that the Earth Rock Dragon’s eyes weren’t completely filled with crimson yet, some parts taken back to be cleansed with purifying techniques probably wouldn’t affect health.
This kind of high grade game was too hard to find; missing it would mean an unknown waiting time.
Not every high-ranking monster was edible.
But this one in front of them, discounting a hundred claims, could almost be considered dragon meat.
This was a top-notch ingredient! Maybe it could be utilized just using simple cooking techniques.
Great Lord Shepherd couldn’t say he wasn’t a bit greedy too, he just couldn’t resist Duo Lai’s enthusiasm.
“At most, at that time, use Lord’s Power to load ‘Duo Lai Mode’; anything impure under Devouring Talent will be completely eradicated.”
After cleaning up, Duo Lai returned with a few elites, carrying resources.
Dead Bone led the troops and continued to explore. Without the Earth Rock Dragon as an obstacle, they might be able to directly reach the underground city mentioned in the diary.
There was still a considerable distance in between.
Finding the underground city was one goal; identifying and eliminating the underground threat was another. The latter was more important.
Half an hour later,
“Is this the Key to the Secret Region?”
He examined it. It was a crescent-shaped item, like a piece of jade. It had a faint halo spread over it, with a world’s inverted image seemingly reflected under its amber exterior.
The Key to the Secret Region was the essential item that opens and links to a Secret Realm.
However, there are thousands of types of Secret Realms, different keys also link to entirely different realms.
‘Key of the Secret Realm’
‘Description: This key can open a ‘Level One Resource Secret Realm
(Time-Limited)’. The Secret Realm will open in 67 hours and 23 minutes and close after seven days.’
‘Note (D: The Key to the Secret Realm needs to be used with the territory as a carrier to open the door; different keys have different requirements for the carrying territory. The current secret realm requires a level one territory or above to bear.’
‘Note (2): This Secret Realm is special, the Lord must lead the team to enter; no more than 100 soldiers can be taken, but wherever the Lord is in the Secret Realm, when the Lord silently utters “Exit”, the Lord and all subordinate soldiers will be teleported out of the Secret Realm.’
‘Note (D: Only Lords of level three or below can enter the Level One Resource Secret Realm.’
Mu Yuan took the Key to the Secret Realm, came to the core of the territory, the ‘Lord’s Altar’, and silently used it..
