Starting as dockworkers, they swept through Chongqing.

Just as Xilun was pondering this, an even more shocking scene unfolded before him.

All I could see was Rox lying in front of me, his body rapidly deflated like a punctured balloon.

Immediately afterwards, strands of dark red blood, visible to the naked eye, surged out of Rox's body like iron filings attracted by a magnet, continuously converging towards the blood mark in Xiren's palm.

The mark, which was originally white with a reddish tinge and slightly pale, immediately began to tremble greedily, like a sponge absorbing water, after coming into contact with the essence blood of these second-tier powerhouses.

As more blood filled the bloodstain, its color began to change drastically.

It grew redder and more alluring at a visible speed, until the entire mark became incredibly bright red, as if it were about to bleed at any moment.

However, Rox's corpse on the ground was not completely dried up. As a second-tier extraordinary being, the quality of his blood and qi was far superior to that of Deford.

Strands of thick, sticky blood continued to seep out.

Gradually, the intensely red mark began to transform into a deeper color—black.

Finally, about a third of the bloodstain area revealed its deep, jet-black color.

It was black with a hint of red, exuding a destructive aura that sent shivers down one's spine.

Finally, Rox on the ground was completely drained, turning into a lifeless skeleton.

A gentle breeze blew by, and even bone powder fell in a soft rustling sound.

Xilun looked thoughtfully at the bloodstain on his hand, which had changed its appearance considerably.

"When I killed Deford, the bloodstain was only in its initial form, and it was white with a reddish tinge."

Now they've killed Rox... Rox was, after all, a true second-tier extraordinary being. Even severely injured, his life force was several times stronger than that of the first-tier Deford.

"Sure enough, after absorbing high-level blood essence, the blood seal not only changed color drastically, but the pressure it emitted also increased several levels."

Unable to contain his curiosity, Xilun began to carefully test the power and characteristics of this advanced blood seal at the entrance of the cave.

He concentrated his mind, controlling the bloodstain to continuously change its shape.

Under his masterful control, the blood seal sometimes transformed into a giant, blood-red hand the size of a door panel, sometimes condensed into an incredibly thick, square blood brick, sometimes became a rapidly spinning blood diamond, and finally transformed into that highly concealed blood needle.

"go!"

Xilun let out a low shout, transforming the blood seal into a heavy blood brick, which he smashed against a hard stone wall deep inside the cave.

"Boom!"

The blood-red bricks, accompanied by a howling wind, crashed into the stone wall, causing the entire cave to tremble violently, as if an earthquake had occurred.

A huge crater, half a meter deep, with a perfect brick indentation, was smashed into the stone wall.

The hard rock in the dented area was instantly crushed into powder by the violent force, and more than a dozen thick cracks spread around it.

Xiren stepped forward, weighing the terrifying destructive power in his hand, his eyes gleaming with fanaticism.

He pondered to himself, "This Blood Seal's full-force attack at this moment is almost comparable to the strongest attack of a peak realm expert who spares no effort."

This explosive power is remarkably similar to my physical strength when I don't use my trump cards.

However, after careful analysis, Western ethics discovered the differences.

Firstly, the power of the Blood Seal is not inexhaustible; it is essentially a consumable resource.

Each time such a highly destructive attack is launched, it consumes the blood energy stored in the mark.

Xilun keenly noticed that right after that "blood brick" was smashed, the blood mark itself, which was black with a hint of red, dimmed slightly, and the black area decreased a little.

This means he must constantly kill to replenish his resources.

Secondly, while the Blood Seal's direct confrontation power is limited by its current reserves, its methods are extremely varied and unpredictable.

For example, the Blood Needle that transformed when Rox was killed earlier can, firstly, "break through the surface with a single point," ignoring conventional physical defenses; secondly, it is insidious and swift, attacking without warning, making it perfect for ambushing enemies in intense battles, leaving them absolutely unable to defend against it.

That's truly amazing!

Xiren was increasingly shocked by the monstrous talent of this person.

This talent, forcibly stripped from the Earth Blood Bat Dragon, is incredibly powerful, far surpassing the combined strengths of his previous talents such as "Far-reaching Listening" and "Golden Tortoise Cicada Molting" in terms of pure killing power!

"As long as I fight to sustain myself in this cruel extreme environment and keep hunting powerful creatures, I can infinitely increase the power of this blood seal."

Xilun couldn't help but imagine that if he continued to cultivate it in this way, once the Blood Seal was fully evolved and perfected, it would become a giant seal that could overturn the heavens and earth. With a single smash, he could directly shatter an entire block and crush all enemies into mincemeat!

After a moment of reflection, Xilun withdrew his thoughts, and the black and red blood mark transformed back into a beam of blood light, returning to his body.

He clenched his fist and felt a faint blood-red line appear on his palm, a mark left by the blood seal lurking within his body.

There's no time to lose; we shouldn't linger here.

Xilun strode out of the cave and hurried away into the swirling snow.

As he flew down the treacherous snow-capped mountains, Xilun remained vigilant, resting his chin on his hand as he began to reflect on his experiences and gains since entering the wonderland.

"After about two days in this snow-capped mountain wonderland, my gains can only be described as astonishing."

"Not only did I kill Ross, who had always coveted me, by the frozen lake, but I also took care of his second-tier uncle, Rox, eliminating him completely."

Then, snatching the prey from the jaws of death, he killed the heavily wounded Earth Blood Bat Dragon, not only obtaining its three extremely precious drops of essence blood, but also successfully stealing the two Tranquil Snow Lotuses necessary for completing the mission right under the noses of the Shudalk family.

"We truly had a fruitful harvest and returned home laden with gifts."

A satisfied smile appeared on Xilun's lips.

But what he values ​​most is his extraordinary talent—bloody slaughter.

It can hunt down living beings, plunder their life force, condense blood seals, and sustain itself through battle.

This brutal and direct method of improvement perfectly matches his powerful physical melee combat system and ruthless fighting style.

As Xilun traversed the snow, he continued his deductions, resting his chin on his hand.

Based on his observation and estimation, if the blood seal were to completely transform into pure black, it would have reached the complete perfection of the first stage.

Once the first blood seal is perfected, one can then begin to condense the second blood seal.

Originally, if one relied on killing first-tier beasts or extraordinary individuals at the pinnacle of power, the process of accumulating qi and blood would be extremely lengthy.

However, Rox, a genuine Tier 2 Extraordinary, possessed high-quality blood that had been tempered and refined over countless trials, which acted like a super tonic, greatly shortening this lengthy process for him.

"If we kill one or two more second-tier extraordinary individuals, or a few more first-tier extreme extraordinary individuals with profound foundations, we might be able to make this first mark completely perfect."

According to the description obtained from the red data stream at the time, if one could cultivate a blood seal to perfection, its power in a single burst would be able to steadily reach the threshold of a second-tier extraordinary being.

In other words, once the Blood Seal is perfected, even without using his abnormal physical strength as a trump card, Xilun can unleash terrifying power comparable to a full-force attack from a second-tier expert simply by striking the Blood Seal!

This is also the most abnormal aspect of the ancient and exotic species, the Earth Blood Bat Dragon.

At its peak, the Earth Blood Bat Dragon, which relied on battle to sustain itself, not only possessed an incredibly abnormal overall physical physique, making it arguably the most powerful intermediate-level mutant; even more terrifying was that it had condensed three blood runes all over its body!

The three blood seals appeared simultaneously, each capable of unleashing power comparable to a peak second-tier extraordinary being.

With all three combined, he was practically unmatched among his peers. No wonder even a powerhouse like Dean needed to use sealing and sneak attacks to severely injure him.

As Xilun pondered, they arrived at the foot of the snow-capped mountain, where the wind and snow were less intense.

He found a sheltered spot on a large rock and took out the tattered map he had seized from Ross.

He rested his chin on his hand in the cold wind, his gaze lingering on the parchment as he began to ponder his upcoming journey.

The wonderland will be open for a total of seven days, and there are still five days left.

However, having obtained the crucial Tranquil Snow Lotus, they were unsure where to explore next to maximize their gains.

He lowered his head, lost in deep thought.

According to the map that Ross created at great expense by the Ocelli family, if one wants to acquire as many high-level extraordinary resources and inheritances as possible in the coming period, it is highly likely that one will have to go to the south of the map.

There is a huge canyon there, covering an extremely large area.

According to the small annotations next to the map, there seem to be many ancient ruins, dilapidated palaces, and sturdy fortresses in the canyon, which may very well hide the legacy left by ancient occult scholars, as well as many rare and extraordinary materials that have long been extinct in the outside world.

Of course, the label also clearly states that these places are not without danger.

Although the Wonderland had been swept away by the powerful figures of the Great Church, and most of the extremely dangerous high-level alien species had been eliminated, there were still some remote places with complex terrain where powerful and extremely dangerous alien species had lingered for a long time.

In addition, the canyon has its own unique features.

Xilun's gaze lingered on the center of the canyon on the map, and he was momentarily stunned.

In that area, the map did not depict the specific terrain; it only had the word "wonder" written in striking red.

"A wonder? What kind of thing could it be that the cartographer dared not even write a description, leaving only these two words?"

A sense of vigilance rose in Xilun's heart, but more so a fervent excitement for the unknown opportunity.

He decisively put away the map and stuffed it into his pocket.

After comparing the direction with the distance and confirming that it was correct, he picked up his big gun and began to rush towards the southern canyon at full speed.

The previous journey up the mountain took a full day and night because it involved trekking against the wind through waist-deep snow.

At this moment, descending the mountain, using the steep slope for leverage, coupled with the ever-flowing qi and blood within Xilun's body like mercury syrup, it only takes half a day.

He placed the red jade, which could ward off the bitter cold, close to his heart, letting the raging wind and snow howl past him.

Traveling at full speed, like a black ghost traversing the snowfield, they successfully arrived at the plain at the foot of the Great Snow Mountain in just a few hours.

After a brief search of the open snowfield, Xilun continued his journey toward the southern horizon without hesitation.

All around was a vast expanse of white snow, so monotonous that there was almost no variation in the terrain.

However, as he continued to advance through the wind and snow, the enormous "spectacle" marked on the map suddenly and strikingly entered his field of vision in an extremely visually stunning way.

Xilun's eyes narrowed slightly. On the distant horizon, a massive crack in the stone wall, spanning the heavens and the earth, gradually appeared.

It was a magnificent, breathtakingly grand canyon.

The massive black mountain range was split open from the middle, the fault line as smooth and clean as a mirror, as if a god had wielded an unimaginable giant blade and cleaved it in two from the heavens.

The middle part of the canyon was not completely covered by ice and snow, but instead nurtured countless strange and magnificent scenes.

Looking down from above, one can vaguely see the vast plant community at the bottom, the plants displaying an eerie purplish-red hue; and the phantoms of some beasts as large as hills and birds with outstretched wings that blot out the sky appear and disappear in the mist.

Most striking are the faint, illusory shadows that occasionally refract light from the depths of the canyon, as if a terrifying aura that has transcended time is settling and swirling at the bottom.

From afar, the beauty of that mystery and deathly stillness is striking, yet it also sends chills down one's spine.

Xiren blinked, immediately sensing that the aura of this place was completely different. He seemed to feel that this place contained extremely complex occult rules, which was quite peculiar.

As he approached the entrance to the canyon, he discovered that in this sheltered spot, there were two or three people huddled together for warmth, observing the activity inside the canyon.

Xilun approached silently, glanced at the scene, and raised an eyebrow.

One of them was someone I had met before – Marshall.

The noble scion who had been crushed by himself in the fighting match at the Daewoo Dojo was now standing on a rock, gesticulating wildly and bragging to the other two extraordinary individuals who looked rather disheveled.

Marshall, full of arrogance, boasted that he had fought dozens of rounds with the suddenly emerging champion, Siron, in the ring, and that the battle was so fierce that he had only recently lost due to exhaustion.

He patted his chest and said that the two were evenly matched, and it was truly a pity and a shame.

The two people next to him, unaware of the situation, were stunned and sighed with regret. They even chimed in, saying that if young master Marshall hadn't had bad luck in the draw and encountered Xiren early on, with his strength, he could have easily made it into the quarterfinals.

Marshall, flattered and elated, was about to respond with a grin and continue boasting about his "glorious deeds."

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a black figure slowly walking through the wind and snow.

Upon seeing that pale, cold, and expressionless face, Marshall was first stunned, then his smile froze instantly, his face visibly fell, and even his legs couldn't help but tremble slightly.

Xilun walked over, carrying his large spear, and looked at him with a half-smile, asking in a cold tone:

"How come I didn't know you had the ability to fight me for dozens of rounds?"

Caught red-handed by the person in question, Marshall was so embarrassed he wanted to disappear into the ground.

He was used to bullying the weak and fearing the strong, and he knew all too well that the seemingly thin young man in front of him was a ruthless killer who would kill without blinking an eye.

He immediately adopted a pitiful and ingratiating expression, cupped his hands in a gesture of respect, and waved them repeatedly, saying:

Just kidding! Just kidding!

"Your Excellency Sir, I was just trying to lighten the mood. Please don't take it personally..."

He gave an awkward, dry laugh, his eyes darting away.

Xilun snorted coldly, too lazy to bother with such a clown. He planted his spear on the ground and asked bluntly:

"I'm not going to argue with you about those pointless words. I'm just asking you, what exactly happened here?"

"This canyon seems to have some extremely strange aspects; even you guys are afraid to go in?"
