For the time being, there were no conflicts between the human race and these small races.

The small clans did not dare to mess with the human race for fear of being exterminated.

There was no calamity in the Northern Zone, so it was peaceful.

While some went to reinforce the other zones, there were also others who thought that the outer zones were too dangerous and decided to stay in the Northern Zone.

Some smaller races that were on the verge of extinction began to migrate to the Northern Zone after hearing that it was peaceful.

As the number of races and living beings in the Northern Zone increased, the Heavenly Dao laws were also strengthened.

Chu Xuan was happy to see this.

For the sake of the diversity of living beings in the Northern Zone, he had even intervened to prevent some smaller races from being exterminated by human martial artists.

They would be protected like endangered species.

Apart from these smaller races, there was no lack of humans that migrated to the Northern Zone.

Many human cultivators subconsciously treated the Northern Zone as their last bastion.

However, unless they had no other choice, they would not give up on the other four zones.

If they lost these four zones, how could the human race maintain their position as an overlord race?

Thanks to the expansion of the Northern Zone’s territory, it could accommodate all of these migrants.

Chu Xuan patiently waited for the fifty-year milestone reward.

In the Desolate Ancient Region, Ren Changhe was making his way back to the Northern Zone.

It was rare to see any Divine realm cultivators here now. Almost all of them had returned to their respective zones to fight the blood fiends. Those that were here were either trapped in mystic and forbidden realms, or hiding like the defeated demon race.

Even the crazy Cao Tianyi seemed to have disappeared.

One day, Ren Changhe arrived at a large river called the Desolate Ancient Thunder River.

In addition to the rumbling thunder, there were occasional lightning bolts in the river, and thunder fish jumping out of the water.

The thunder fish was unique to this river, and was also how the river had received its name.

The lightning bolts released by the thunder fish were no weaker than an Emperor realm cultivator’s attack. Furthermore, it was not a demonic beast, but just an ordinary beast.

Its flesh contained the power of lightning and could temper one’s body. It was effective even for Emperor realm cultivators.

Some Divine realm experts would catch thunder fish and send them back to their families or sects once in a while to help their descendants cultivate and temper their bodies.

Other than being able to temper one’s body, thunder fish was extremely delicious. It was one of the tastiest things in the Desolate Ancient Zone.

Even Divine realm experts who no longer needed to eat would sometimes catch a few thunder fish to eat.

Huala!

In the turbulent River, a fish jumped out of the water, and lightning flashed.

Ren Changhe was used to this and did not stop walking. He walked lightly atop the flowing river water.

Occasionally, a thunder fish would leap up beside him, hurling a lightning bolt his way.

Huala!

Suddenly, a fish jumped out of the water.

This pitch-black fish exuded a faint grayish-black aura. Wisps of black lightning surrounded it, and its eyes were red. There were long bone spikes on its back.

The fins seemed to have grown into two small claws. It had a big head and a mouth, with sharp black teeth.

The fish was extremely violent. It leapt out of the water and charged at Ren Changhe.

Ren Changhe was shocked.

It appeared to be some sort of mutated thunder fish.

What surprised him even more was that even the lightning bolts it released were black.

Ren Changhe ignored the attack. An Emperor realm attack was like an ant bite to him.

He continued to move forward, and flicked his finger at the fish, destroying it.

However, after the mutated thunder fish was destroyed, there was still a faint grayish-black gas left behind, which contaminated the power that Ren Changhe had released.

As his power returned, Ren Changhe suddenly felt his heart palpitate, as if a great disaster was about to befall him!

His expression changed slightly, and he immediately cut it off!

After he cut it off, the grayish-black gas actually a.s.similated his power and grew a little stronger before submerging itself into the river.

Huala!

A thunder fish jumped out of the water into the grayish-black gas, after which it fell back into the water.

Ren Changhe stopped in his tracks and frowned slightly. What was that wisp of grayish-black gas?

Why did it give him a feeling that a great calamity was coming?

He was a peak Divine realm expert, and his comprehension of the Yin and Yang Dao was extremely deep. He was already close to reaching the Dao realm.

Huala!

The same fish jumped out of the water.

At this moment, this fish was changing.

The fish’s body began to turn black and gradually began to show signs of mutating.

Ren Changhe raised his hand and waved. A furnace was set up and the fish was placed into it. Upon closer inspection, the mutation was found to be due to that wisp of grayish-black gas.

As Ren Changhe looked at the wisp of grayish-black gas, he felt more and more alarmed, and he had a bad premonition.

He took a deep breath, and a wisp of death power appeared in his hand, which he sent into the furnace.

The fish died and gradually turned into nothingness.

As for the death power, it was contaminated by the grayish-black Qi and gradually a.s.similated.

“Even death power can be a.s.similated?”

Ren Changhe realized how unusual the wisp of grayish-black gas was.

He then sent life power into the furnace.

When the life power entered, the grayish-black gas surrounded the life power, but did not a.s.similate it.

Ren Changhe heaved a sigh of relief. Life power could deal with this strange grayish-black gas.

Just as he was about to retrieve the life power, he suddenly felt an ominous feeling in his heart. He hurriedly stopped.

Frowning, he looked at it carefully.

He realized that there was something wrong with this wisp of life power.

As for what was wrong, Ren Changhe could not tell.

There seemed to be something inside the life power.

Ren Changhe looked at the Thunder River. For some reason, he felt uneasy. He had a feeling that something big was about to happen.

There was no sign of a second deformed fish or a second wisp of grayish-black gas.

Ren Changhe continued to move forward, crossing the Thunder River. He observed the grayish-black gas in the furnace and the wisp of life power.

“What changes have occurred?”

Ren Changhe furrowed his brows.

Outwardly, that wisp of life power seemed fine. However, upon closer inspection, it seemed to have been contaminated by something and was undergoing some changes.

Even though this wisp of life power was Ren Changhe’s own power, at this moment, he could not figure out what was going on.

A few miles away, there was a wild beast.

Ren Changhe immediately captured the wild beast. Then, he created a small wound on the wild beast’s leg.

With a wave of his hand, the life power in the furnace entered the wound on the beast’s leg, after which the bleeding stopped instantly.

The wild beast also became more energetic.

“There doesn’t seem to be a problem.”

Ren Changhe frowned again. There had to have been some changes in that wisp of life power.

However, it did not seem to have any abnormalities when used on this wild beast.

He believed in his senses. It could not be wrong. That wisp of life power was unusual.

Ren Changhe stared at the wild beast and observed it carefully.

However, he did not notice that the furnace in his hand, which was filled with grayish-black gas, had gradually become contaminated with the grayish-black gas. It was shrouded in an unknown and ominous aura.
