Hongning Base City. The Global Headquarters of the Extreme Dojo was a massive structure resembling an ancient giant spaceship. On the landing platform beside it, a deep blue triangular combat aircraft slowly descended.
Inside the intelligent combat aircraft.
“This civilization relic does not allow the use of the Black God Suit. I can only leave it here,” Luo Feng extended his right hand. Soon, a layer of black membrane gathered on his hand and formed a black glove. “I still need to release control of it.”
Once the Black God Suit absorbed its owner’s blood, it would mutate and become perfectly compatible with the body, like skin itself. It could change forms endlessly and even hide beneath the skin. However, there was one drawback. Once worn, it was extremely difficult to remove.
There were only two ways to detach it. First, the owner dies. Second, the owner actively forces the absorbed blood out, and the Black God Suit will automatically detach.
“Now, let the Black God Suit leave my body. I will have to let it absorb blood again later,” Luo Feng smiled helplessly.
After a moment, the black glove fell onto the seat of the intelligent combat aircraft.
“Io, store the Black God Suit,” Luo Feng said, then left the aircraft.
……
Inside the giant spaceship building, Luo Feng was brought to a resting room after arriving. The spacious room had dozens of seats.
Six people were already inside. From their appearances, Luo Feng quickly judged that a pair of man and woman were Chinese, one man sitting with eyes closed was likely Indian, and among the other three, two were black men sitting quietly, and one was a blond white man.
“Hello, Luo Feng. I am Tuoba Yan from the Beijing Base City,” one of the Chinese men walked over and introduced himself. “As far as I know, among the eight of us heading out this time, only you and I are from China. Oh, and the lady I spoke with earlier, Miss Li, is from Hongning Base City.”
“Mm,” Luo Feng nodded slightly and casually said a few words before sitting down to cultivate in silence.
He prepared himself for the upcoming ancient civilization relic.
Soon, the final eighth member arrived. All eight War Gods selected by the Extreme Dojo for this trip to the No. 9 Ancient Civilization Relic were now present.
“Everyone, follow me.”
Led by a man in a loose red robe, Luo Feng and the other seven War Gods from around the world were brought into a quiet chamber made entirely of strange purple wood. This wood was unlike anything they had ever seen before. It emitted a strange fragrance and helped calm the mind and focus the spirit like never before.
A man in black stood in the chamber with his back to them.
“Hall Master!”
All eight of them bowed slightly.
The man in black turned around, his gaze sweeping across them as he said indifferently, “The No. 9 Ancient Civilization Relic is relatively low in danger among relics, but the casualty rate is still very high. If any of you wish to withdraw now, you may speak. Once you enter, it will be too late to regret.”
Silence.
“Very well,” the man in black said calmly. “Yao Rao, come in.”
His voice echoed outward.
Whoosh.
A blurred figure condensed at the door. It was a mysterious woman in a black robe and golden mask, with long black hair flowing down. The mask only revealed her eyes, nose, and lips, but even so, it was clear she was an absolute beauty.
Especially her eyes, which were extremely captivating.
“She is mixed blood,” Luo Feng judged instantly from her eyes. “Yao Rao, one of the three guardians. No wonder she has that name.”
The three guardians were the most loyal subordinates of Hall Master Hong. Having always followed Hong, their strength was slightly above the average of the five inspectors.
“You eight will head to the No. 9 Ancient Civilization Relic shortly. Yao Rao will lead you,” the man in black ordered.
“Yes.”
Everyone responded.
“Luo Feng stays. The rest of you leave,” the man in black said.
Soon, only Luo Feng and the man in black, Hong, remained in the chamber.
“Luo Feng, you previously called the internal hotline to ask about the relic. You did not want to go?” Hong asked calmly.
“Hall Master,” Luo Feng bowed slightly. “I did call before. At that time, I felt that entering the ancient relic, risking my life, just to obtain a single Black God Suit, was not worth it. So I hesitated.”
“And now you have changed your mind?” Hong looked at him with slight surprise.
“Yes.”
Luo Feng nodded. “The path of life evolution is full of difficulties. One must go against the current.”
“Even walking on the street can result in accidents.”
“You could even be hit by a falling flower pot at home. Nothing is absolutely safe.”
“If I choose this path, I must have the courage to fight. If it were completely safe, there would be no challenge. It is precisely because there is danger that my blood can burn and my fighting spirit rise. And since the success rate is over eighty percent, why should I fear it?” Luo Feng’s eyes were bright.
Hong silently nodded in approval.
Talent alone was not enough to reach great heights. This young man now had a will far stronger than before, a will like iron that could not be bent or broken. To truly reach the peak of humanity, one needed exactly this kind of indomitable spirit.
“Good. I will tell you this. Among high level spiritual masters who entered the No. 9 relic, some failed, but none died,” Hong said.
Luo Feng paused slightly. So that was why.
No wonder Hong had confidence in it.
“Of course, there are not many cases, so it cannot be guaranteed as absolutely safe,” Hong added. “Go rejoin them.”
“Yes, Hall Master.”
Luo Feng left.
Whoosh.
A massive intelligent combat aircraft flew through the sky at extreme speed.
Inside the cabin were Yao Rao and eight War Gods.
“You may address me as Councillor Miss,” Yao Rao’s voice was soft and strangely alluring. “Our destination is the No. 9 Ancient Civilization Relic, located deep within the Amazon rainforest in South America. It is one of the less dangerous relics.”
A blond man suddenly asked curiously, “Miss Councillor, are there other ancient relics?”
“Of course.”
Yao Rao’s lips curved slightly. “I can tell you this. The No. 1 Ancient Civilization Relic was the first ever discovered on Earth. It is located deep under the sea near the Bermuda region of the North Atlantic.”
Everyone, including Luo Feng, was shocked.
No. 1 relic, the first discovered?
“However, at present, there is no way for humanity to enter it,” Yao Rao said with a faintly strange tone. “No matter how strong you are, no matter how tough your weapons are, the moment you enter, everything is destroyed.”
Everyone fell silent.
Even Hong and Thunder God could not enter?
“Do not even think about it,” Luo Feng thought to himself.
“Now listen carefully. I will only say this once,” Yao Rao’s voice turned serious.
“The No. 9 Ancient Civilization Relic is a trial type relic used for selection and elimination. Warriors enter through Channel A, while spiritual masters enter through Channel B.”
At this, everyone focused immediately.
Different treatment for warriors and spiritual masters.
“Inside, each person’s experience will differ.”
“Difficulty also varies.”
“But successful candidates will receive the reward: a Black God Suit. Failure means either death or permanent disability.”
Yao Rao stood up and faced the control console.
“Command: No. 9 Relic.”
Beep.
Eight red beams shot out from the aircraft, landing on the communication watches of all eight War Gods.
“Do not panic,” Yao Rao smiled faintly.
“There are languages and texts inside the relic, but they are completely different from any Earth language. Without understanding them, you will waste a lot of time. In the past, some War Gods stayed inside for over seven months.”
“Understanding the language will greatly improve efficiency.”
“So before entry, I will install a translation program into your watches. It will translate the relic language into Chinese and English. After you exit, it will be removed.”
Five minutes later, installation was complete.
Deep in the Amazon rainforest at night, the aircraft descended and landed.
The hatch opened.
Luo Feng and the other seven War Gods, together with Yao Rao, stepped out. Around them was wilderness, and beyond it endless jungle. Not a single beast dared approach.
Suddenly, the ground trembled and split open, revealing a five metre wide passage leading underground.
A silver grey elevator rose to the surface. An old man in a red robe stepped out.
“Councillor Yao Rao,” he bowed slightly.
“Mm.”
Yao Rao looked at the eight of them. “Go in quickly. Once inside the relic, each of you will face different situations. I wish you all… survive.”
She then leapt straight back into the aircraft, which quickly departed.
“Please hurry. The activation time for the No. 9 Ancient Civilization Relic this year has only two hours left,” the red robed elder reminded them.
