The situation was extremely dangerous, but Cang Yun was not in the mood to think about it. The only thought in his mind was that he needed to get to the Desolate Crystal as soon as possible.

As he continued to dive deeper, the amount of Origin Crystals he had was rapidly increasing.

By the time it reached two-thirds of its original position, it had already used up over a hundred Origin Crystals, and among them were the two precious Origin Crystals. If not, Cang Yun would not have been able to maintain his position.

But right now, Cang Yun was at his limit … The Origin Energy in his body was almost bottomless, but the surrounding Desolate Force was becoming more and more terrifying.

Tssss! *

Drops of sweat rolled down Cang Yun's face and were evaporated by the lava around him, producing sizzling sounds.

This sweat wasn't because of the surrounding heat, but because of the nervousness in Cang Yun's heart.

"Pure Yang energy, rise!"

In the next moment, Cang Yun screamed out in his heart. Feeling helpless, he began to burn the pure Yang energy in his body.

In that instant, a layer of fiery light enveloped him, and the pure Yang energy helped him to isolate the power of desolation.

Cang Yun was slightly overjoyed. He took advantage of this precious time to dive down crazily.

Three hundred meters … 500 feet … Three hundred meters …

Finally, as they got closer to the Desolate Crystal, Cang Yun could faintly make out a dark colored light through the lava as he circulated his eyesight.

"It's getting close!"

Cang Yun could not help but feel excited.

Pop!

However, at this time, the pure yang energy around Cang Yun suddenly collapsed.

Cang Yun's expression changed greatly. If he lost his last bit of Yang energy, how could he defend against the power of the wilderness?

In the next moment, Cang Yun felt a deathly stillness gushing into his body, crazily devouring his life force.

Cang Yun continued to dive down.

But after just a few breaths, he could see that his palm was rapidly aging.

Soon after, it quickly spread to his arm and body.

Gradually, the power of the Azure Cloud got smaller and smaller, to the point that it was no longer able to swim within the magma.

"Am I going to die …?" "Still another thirty meters …"

Despair, unwillingness, all kinds of emotions filled Cang Yun's mind.

His body became increasingly old, like a sapling that was withering rapidly. Perhaps in the next moment, it would consume the last of its life force.

Cang Yun shut his eyes in despair.

Weng! *

However, at this moment, a powerful life force erupted from within Cang Yun's body. It was actually able to completely reverse the corrosion of the Desolate Force.

"This is …"

Cang Yun instantly woke up. Looking within his body, he discovered the source of this sudden life force – a drop of golden blood!

"Golden blood?" "Was that the drop of dragon blood that I absorbed when I first condensed my blood source?"

After muttering to himself, Cang Yun instantly understood.

So back then, he had not refined this drop of dragon blood. Rather, this drop of dragon blood had been silently hidden within his bloodline. This was something that Cang Yun himself did not know about.

"Legend has it that a True Dragon is the most powerful being in the world. The vitality contained in this drop of dragon blood can help me resist the power of desolation!"

As this thought flashed through his mind, Cang Yun was overjoyed.

With the infusion of this life force, Cang Yun's body once again radiated with power. He desperately dived down, reaching the final destination with only a hundred feet.

However, Cang Yun shockingly discovered that the surrounding Desolate Force had once again soared.

Hiss!

In the next moment, Cang Yun could not help but gasp.

Under the corrosion of the power of desolation, his body was constantly on the verge of collapsing.

The invisible power of desolation was too domineering. It was like many tiny blades that cut deeply into his body. In just a moment, his flesh was badly mutilated.

Fortunately, the golden dragon blood within his body was also showing its might. It frantically gave Cang Yun a strong life force, continuously healing his broken body.

As one side was destroyed, the other side was reborn. The two powers seemed to be using Cang Yun's body as a battlefield, creating a tug-of-war.

As for Cang Yun, who was on the battlefield, he could not avoid the painful torture of living a life worse than death.

Both destruction and rebirth were accompanied by unbearable pain.

Cang Yun gritted his teeth as his upper and lower teeth grinded against each other, producing gurgling sounds. The intense pain caused his nerves to tighten, if it was any other person, they would have already fainted, but Cang Yun did not dare to lose consciousness. He desperately guarded his last bit of consciousness, and only had one thought, dive, continue diving!

Three meters … Two Zhang … One zhang …

Finally, after enduring an endless amount of pain, a deep and clear light shone before his eyes.

"This is the Desolate Crystal?"

Cang Yun's pained face forced out a smile. He had succeeded!

The Desolate Crystal in front of him was similar in appearance to an Origin Crystal. It was the size of a fist and looked like a diamond-shaped crystal. The only difference was that the Desolate Crystal emitted a deep glow that made one's heart palpitate.

Without hesitation, Cang Yun reached out his hand to touch the Desolate Crystal.

Crash! *

However, just as they were about to come into contact, Cang Yun's expression suddenly changed.

His palm started to dissipate and turned into nothingness in an instant. The terrifying power of desolation was completely unable to resist. Even the life force of the dragon blood was completely at a disadvantage at this moment.

"Cannot be touched?" "Then how should I refine it?"

When the change occurred, Cang Yun began to panic. Even at this point, could it be that all of his efforts were for naught?

No! I must succeed! He had to succeed!

The next moment, Cang Yun gritted his teeth and made up his mind. He ignored it and continued to grab at the Desolate Crystal.

Crash! *

The moment they were about to come into contact, the palm continued to melt as the ten fingers linked together with the heart. In that instant, Cang Yun's face contorted.

However, he still did not stop!

The fingerbone and the palm were slowly being swallowed up by the power of desolation. The entire scene was extremely terrifying.

However, Cang Yun still did not care.

Zhang Xuan continued forward and in the blink of an eye, his palm had completely disintegrated.

"Hua!"

At this moment, a string of buddhist beads slid down from Cang Yun's bare arm and landed on the Desolate Crystal.

Bang!

In that instant, the buddhist beads disintegrated.

In the next moment, before Cang Yun could react, an extremely dense golden light suddenly bloomed.

This golden light was filled with an auspicious and massive energy that instantly formed a barrier, suppressing the Desolate Crystal's power for a short period of time.

As the power of desolation was suppressed, Cang Yun's disintegrated palm began to recover under the effect of the life force of the dragon blood.

After a brief moment of blankness, Cang Yun was overjoyed. He stretched out his palm and grabbed the Desolate Crystal.

"Refine!"
