Chapter 822: Chapter 794: End of the Relic

"Roar!!"

With a roar of unwillingness, Li Chen finally brought the Blood Lion down with one strike of his blade.

The enormous lion head rolled on the ground, trailing a striking streak of blood, and gradually the ground was dyed red with the blood of the Blood Lion.

The whole area fell into silence.

At this time, Li Chen finally turned his attention to the Seven-Colored Being beside him.

Just now, it was his collaboration with the Seven-Colored Being that had killed the Blood Lion, but the problem was, he still did not understand the Seven-Colored Being’s attitude towards him.

"Who exactly are you?"

The Seven-Colored Being remained silent, not responding to Li Chen’s question, and stood motionless like a puppet, after the Blood Lion was killed.

Seeing the Seven-Colored Being not answering, Li Chen’s expression couldn’t help but show some confusion as he took a few steps closer to it.

After realizing the Seven-Colored Being had no reaction, he continued to approach.

Coming up close to the Seven-Colored Being, Li Chen reached out his hand.

After hesitating for a bit, he finally placed it on the shoulder of the Seven-Colored Being.

To Li Chen’s surprise, the sensation that came from his palm was a cold one.

"Metal? Or something else?"

Li Chen looked again at the Seven-Colored Being and saw that every move it made didn’t have any characteristics a human should possess, except for a human-like appearance, the Seven-Colored Being hardly shared any similarities with humans.

"What exactly are you..." Li Chen’s expression started to turn somewhat peculiar.

However, fortunately, the Seven-Colored Being no longer showed any desire to attack him, which gave Li Chen a sigh of relief.

After taking away two raw stones from the Blood Lions, Li Chen looked around and surprisingly found some materials to start a fire, and directly cut some pieces of Blood Lion meat to roast.

Due to his injuries and significant loss of physical strength, Li Chen urgently needed replenishment, and this Mysterious Level Advanced Stage Blood Lion was the best supplement there was.

Compared to it, even the White Snake he encountered before couldn’t match the energy contained within the Blood Lion.

After feasting, Li Chen began to walk around.

Soon, Li Chen discovered a cave.

"Is this the den of those two Blood Lions?"

Li Chen looked at the cave, his face showing curiosity, turned his head back, and instructed the Seven-Colored Being: "Wait here, I’ll go in and check."

The Seven-Colored Being did not respond, but its body, following Li Chen’s command, stood still.

After a series of tests, Li Chen discovered that the Seven-Colored Being was now under his control. Although it could not be treated as a companion, it could understand his words, which gave Li Chen some reassurance, with its existence, his safety in exploring relics could greatly increase.

After entering the cave, Li Chen immediately smelled a strange scent.

The moment he smelled this scent, Li Chen felt a sudden burst of aliveness.

"What is this?"

A light began flickering in Li Chen’s eyes, believing strongly that high-grade existences like the Blood Lion guarded valuable treasures; his guess was not wrong at all.

Deeper inside the cave, Li Chen saw at the bottom of the cave a small plant growing.

The plant was just over a meter tall, but on it hung three fruits.

The fruits were crimson as blood, though not as big as a fist, yet they emitted a rich Spiritual Energy that even made Li Chen feel astonished.

"This thing..."

Li Chen approached the plant, his face filled with disbelief.

Because he had seen this plant before.

But only in Panlong Village, through ancient texts.

"Vermilion Fruit!"

"How is this possible, this thing actually exists? The legendary Vermilion Fruit that can achieve Purifying Body, enhance physical constitution, and also improve Cultivation?!" Li Chen was completely stunned.

Although the records of Purifying Body Pill are not uncommon in ancient texts, typically, the common Purifying Body Pills are made from ordinary medicinal materials.

Such pills are not even comparable to taking a bite of a Vermilion Fruit, and if a Vermilion Fruit is used as the core ingredient to refine a Purifying Body Pill, then a true Divine Medicine can be made!

Ordinary Purifying Body Pills can only partially cleanse the body’s impurities, making one’s cultivation less hindered.

But if a Purifying Body Pill made of Vermilion Fruit is consumed, it would result in achieving a Lucid Body.

What is a Lucid Body?

It means that once one starts to cultivate, there will be no obstacles encountered as long as your True Qi is sufficient, allowing you to break through endlessly.

Such a constitution is what truly deserves to be called a Lucid Body!

Even Li Chen, at this moment, couldn’t help but feel excited, his face flushing with emotion.

Almost without thinking, he directly gathered all three Vermilion Fruits into his bosom. Though he knew there was unlikely anyone around, Li Chen still instinctively looked left and right before cautiously exiting the cave.

Outside the cave, the Seven-Colored Being still stood like a wooden statue, motionless.

"Let’s go."

Li Chen spoke to the Seven-Colored Being.

Having obtained the Vermilion Fruit, Li Chen no longer had any desire to linger on.

Li Chen only picked the Vermilion Fruits, but did not uproot them entirely. He was aware that such things had nearly disappeared from the outside world. Perhaps after many years, Vermilion Fruits might appear here again.

The relic remained vast and boundless. Li Chen looked at the time; he had spent another day within this relic, yet he still had not seen its limits.

Along the way, he once again slaughtered several Primordial Beasts of the Profound level, acquiring some Raw Stones and even some other fine items. For this purpose, Li Chen even specially made a beast skin wrapper to store everything except the Vermilion Fruit inside it.

While Li Chen’s injuries had not fully healed, they had improved considerably during the journey.

"Only, I wonder when this arm will be fully healed." Li Chen could feel that after resetting the bone, his shoulder was continuously healing.

With the aid of his True Qi, his already robust Physical Body was healing even faster, though the healing was often accompanied by almost endless pain and itching. Li Chen had been enduring this sensation all along, managing to persist until now.

"Hm?"

Suddenly, Li Chen looked up.

He realized that there was no path ahead of him anymore.

"Finally, it’s the end?"

In Li Chen’s eyes, there was an inexplicable expression, but more than that was confusion.

"But, where exactly is the answer I’m looking for?"

In front of him, there was only mud and stone walls.

Just as Li Chen’s heart sank, he suddenly saw that the mud and stone walls started to move.

"This contour is..." Li Chen’s eyes instantly widened.
