36: Dr. King and the Breath of Evil

The world is vast, and unexpected situations always arise.

There are some special places that can influence the innate aptitude of the human race.

However, these are great opportunities that are hard to come by, legendary events that ordinary people only hear about in their lifetime but never witness.

God Spawn will generate Distress Breath in the areas where it stays.

Distress Breath, a treasure barely reaching the God level, can have a certain positive impact on the innate aptitude of the human race; it needs to be used in the correct way, otherwise it is a potent poison.

The five teams gathered together, and the five captains huddled to discuss whether to enter Ruins City.

They were indecisive for a moment, unsure whether to enter Ruins City in its current state.

After Wang Yuan’s team reported the situation to the Camp, three Seventh-Stage and one Eighth-Stage powerhouses entered Divine Ruins, and then the situation in Divine Ruins became as it is now.

Fifteen minutes had passed since the four powerhouses entered Ruins City, yet the mist of suffering showed no fluctuations, nor were there any movements emanating from it.

Everyone was only at the Fifth-Stage; entering such a place was truly very easy to die.

Soon, everyone no longer needed to agonize.

Before them, a small hand tore open space, and Dr. Jin, the owner of the small hand, stepped out from within.

Dr. Jin swept his gaze over everyone, his eyes lingering on Lin Chen and Lin Fan for a long time, mainly looking at Oriental Red Sleeve, while Lin Chen and Lin Fan were just incidental.

Lin Chen and Lin Fan sensed something was amiss and immediately stepped forward to shield Oriental Red Sleeve behind them. Seeing this, Dr. Jin withdrew his gaze and looked towards Ruins City, which was shrouded in the mist of suffering.

Scientists are very interested in all kinds of strange and peculiar things.

Dr. Jin primarily researches God Spawn, but encountering the lost Imperial Clan Divine Blood made him somewhat interested. However, he just noted it down for now and still had to attend to more pressing matters.

“Disperse.”

Dr. Jin waved his hand, and the mist of suffering that enveloped Ruins City vanished without a trace, dissolving like a bubble, revealing the true form of Ruins City within the mist.

Before everyone could react, Dr. Jin disappeared from their sight, heading into the underground space.

‘That powerhouse seemed interested in Dongfang. Judging by his attire, he might be a researcher from a federal-level research institute, or even a doctoral-level existence. Should we run?’

‘Brother Chen, it’s fine. My bloodline has already been reported to the Federation and is prohibited from research. That researcher wouldn’t dare violate the Federation’s ban.’

‘That’s good. What should we do now? Can you two sense where the opportunity is?’

Because there were outsiders present, the three communicated discreetly, turning to the shadows and transmitting their voices with mental power.

‘I can vaguely sense it, Brother Chen, Hongxiu, are you going?’

‘Yes.’

‘Then let’s go.’

Since Lin Fan and Oriental Red Sleeve were both going, Lin Chen followed their decision, also hoping to gain some benefits for himself.

The five teams simultaneously entered Ruins City. Lin Chen’s team and Wang Yuan’s five members proceeded in the same direction. They exchanged glances but no conflict erupted; they all silently hurried towards their destination.

The other three teams, seeing the direction the two student teams were heading, very consciously changed their direction and followed behind the two student teams, preparing to piggyback on the opportunity.

Students, the most promising group of people in the Federation, are abundant with Children of Fortune and always manage to obtain unexpected opportunities.

Wang Yuan’s team entered the underground passage first, followed closely by Lin Chen’s team. The remaining three teams only delayed for 5 seconds before also entering the underground passage.

One minute later, Lin Chen’s three members and Wang Yuan’s five members stepped into the underground space together.

At this moment, the underground space was brightly lit, with a pearl floating in the sky illuminating the entire space.

At the altar in the center of the space, Dr. Jin was dismantling the Life-Devouring Iron Chains. The space around him was completely sealed, and this spatial seal extended all the way to where the God Spawn was sealed.

Even if Dr. Jin dismantled the Life-Devouring Iron Chains, the God Spawn and the Four-Headed Compassionate Venerable could not leave; everything was under Dr. Jin’s control.

“Young friend, please eliminate him. He and I have already become one. I will hold him back and create an opportunity for you to eliminate him.”

“Neither of you will die. God Spawn and God Spawn bound by faith, what excellent research material, how could it be wasted?”

Dr. Jin casually replied and continued with his work. His chain dismantling work was only one step away from completion. Once the Life-Devouring Iron Chains were removed, both the God Spawn and the Four-Headed Compassionate Venerable could be freed.

“Young friend, do not be misguided. He is too dangerous. Elimination is the best choice.”

The Four-Headed Compassionate Venerable still chose to persuade Dr. Jin, but how could a research fanatic like Dr. Jin destroy rare research material? He couldn’t protect it fast enough.

Everyone stopped at the entrance of the underground space, not daring to approach the altar. They quietly watched Dr. Jin’s operation. When a big shot is working, they just need to watch and absolutely not interfere.

Another minute passed. Dr. Jin waved his small hand, and more than ten Life-Devouring Iron Chains rose from the ground. The chains originally wrapped around the Four-Headed Compassionate Venerable also completely fell off.

Dr. Jin put away the Life-Devouring Iron Chains. Looking at the Four-Headed Compassionate Venerable, whose body had reverted to a fleshy texture after landing, he sealed it without a word and stuffed it into his portable research space.

The Four-Headed Compassionate Venerable was suppressed before he could even react. The God Spawn “Suffering of All Beings,” which was awakening and wantonly releasing its aura, attempting to assimilate the entire world, was still in a hazy state when it was directly grabbed by its core from underground by a small hand.

“Suffering of All Beings” was sealed before it could even make a sound.

Who said researchers were weak? Dr. Jin was certainly not weak. A mere God Spawn, not even at the God stage, was an easy catch for him.

With both the God Spawn and the Four-Headed Compassionate Venerable sealed by Dr. Jin, the most dangerous factors in Divine Ruins had been eliminated. As time passed, the aura of suffering would also dissipate, becoming nourishment for Divine Ruins and evolving into unique suffering-type creatures.

“Little girl, can you give me a drop of your blood? I will exchange it for Distress Breath.”

“Senior, my bloodline is prohibited from research by the Federation for anyone.”

“I am not researching it. I need to use it to formulate a potion to open an Imperial Era ruin and contain the God Spawn sealed within it.”

“Senior, pleasant transaction.”

With Dr. Jin’s explanation, Oriental Red Sleeve naturally no longer brought up the Federation’s ban.

Nine portions of Distress Breath that Dr. Jin didn’t need in exchange for a drop of Imperial Clan Divine Blood, and he could also acquire an ancient God Spawn later. Dr. Jin made a huge profit.

“Little Old Deng, you’re truly despicable, always freeloading on opportunities!”

After Dr. Jin completed his transaction with Oriental Red Sleeve, he came before Lin Chen and immediately spoke with the professional communication jargon of the Old Deng Alliance.

“Hehe, you’re that one from the group, you look so small.”

Lin Chen was suddenly no longer afraid of Dr. Jin. With the Old Deng Alliance covenant restriction, Dr. Jin couldn’t do anything out of line to Lin Chen at all, at most just beat him up, just like Big Shot September.

“Slap!”

“You’re so disrespectful! When you Ascension to God, I’ll beat the shit out of you. I hate it when people say I’m small the most.”

Dr. Jin jumped up and gave Lin Chen a painful knuckle rap on the head, making Lin Chen clutch his head and roll around.

“Since we’ve met, as your senior, I certainly have to help you out, you little Old Deng.”

After Lin Chen got up from the ground, Dr. Jin casually summoned three bracelets and handed them to the three of them.

“These bracelets are God Spawn simulators I developed. They record hundreds of God Spawn discovered by the human race. You can enter them with your consciousness to understand and fight against God Spawn, improving your resistance to God Spawn assimilation.”

“Also, each person can use a maximum of three portions of Distress Breath. One portion of Distress Breath increases all innate aptitudes by 1 point. I have already processed the Distress Breath, so you can take it with confidence.”

“One more thing, I left 31 portions of Distress Breath in the underground space. You can divide them up. You three are eating meat with me, so the others should also get some soup.”

Dr. Jin gave his final instruction, then tore open space and left.

“Thank you, Senior.” * 3

The other people in the underground space had no awareness of the conversation between the three and Dr. Jin; it was merely a simple cognitive modification.

“Everyone, let’s explore this underground space again. Perhaps that powerhouse left behind some resources he didn’t value.”

Wang Yuan’s suggestion was unanimously approved by everyone.

In the stratum where the God Spawn was sealed, 31 portions of processed Distress Breath floated in the air. After the five teams entered, the Distress Breath automatically floated before everyone, one portion per person.

Everyone understood what was happening, so they calmly put away the Distress Breath in front of them, having no improper thoughts about the Distress Breath obtained by others.

The powerhouse saw them busying themselves and felt pity, so he left behind a gift.

Everyone getting a share, not fighting or snatching, was the most basic rule.

At this point, the most valuable materials in Divine Ruins had been obtained by everyone.

Currently, Divine Ruins is filled with an aura of suffering and is not suitable for exploration. The pioneering stage has come to an end. The subsequent major events will be the Federation building cities and clearing the aura of suffering, which everyone has no intention of participating in.

The five teams could be considered to have shared adversity and prosperity. They added each other as virtual friends and could be considered friends.

Perhaps there would be places where they could be useful in the future, and they could occasionally exchange cultivation insights and progress together.

Finally, everyone went their separate ways, returning to their respective homes.

The adventure in Divine Ruins has come to an end.

The previous areas will be explored again when they are updated.
