Chapter 1269 Life And Death Relic

As soon as Ricky finished speaking, both George and Brandon turned to look expectantly at Peter.

They both agreed with what Ricky had declared. They, too, would never reconcile with Ricky and other
disciples of the Five-element Sect, for they were firmly on the opposite sides.

Moreover, both George and Brandon desperately wanted Ricky dead.

Of course, they had no legitimate reason for wanting him dead, as they were just jealous of Ricky's
talent. And in the world of martial arts, envy always had terrible, and disastrous consequences. If an
individual allowed his jealousy to get the best of him, it could become his inner demon and an obstacle
to his future cultivation.

Noticing the confused expressions that everyone wore, Peter couldn't help but smile. He then turned to
the blood-colored light and said, "Everyone, do you know what this blood-colored light is, and where it
came from? Do you know why those Rotten Thorn Men are afraid of it?"

When Ricky, Brandon, and the others heard this, all their attention shifted toward the blood-colored
light, as they began studying it intently.

They would be lying if they said they weren't curious about the blood-colored light and its origins.

Old thorny plants were a common sight everywhere in the Land of Thorn, but the blood-colored light
could only be found in this area, which made it particular.

Moreover, Ricky also sensed that the powers of life and death inside the blood-colored light felt more
primitive and purer compared to those in his Life and Death Zone.

Thus, he thought that there must be some secret behind the blood-colored light.



George and Brandon also shared his opinion since it couldn't have frightened the Rotten Thorn Men if it
didn't have a terrifying secret behind it.

Thus, they couldn't help but want to know more about the blood-colored light.

"Please tell us more about this," Ricky urged Peter.

On the other hand, George and Brandon didn't say anything, which indicated that they had eventually
accepted the temporary truce.

"The blood-colored light is from an ancient relic. You all know that place," Peter answered vaguely,
letting them stew in suspense.

"So, what is it?" George finally asked.

"You see, there are three kinds of power in the blood-colored light. First is the primitive death power.
Next is the one that scares the Rotten Thorn Men—the primitive life power. And lastly, the third kind is
composed of all dark powers.

Those dark powers belong to this ancient Land of Thorn, unlike the primitive death power and life
power, which don't belong to this place,"

Peter explained.

"You mean there are primitive life and death powers in the blood-colored light?!" George blurted out in
utter surprise, falling deep in thought.

The next moment, his eyes narrowed in suspicion as he asked, "Are you saying that those powers are
from the Life and Death Relic, an ancient battlefield?"



"George, you are indeed well informed. You are right; they are from the Life and Death Relic," Peter
answered with a smile.

"I can't believe those powers came from the Life and Death Relic!" all the rest of them exclaimed as
one, shock written all over their faces.

Their shock was quickly replaced by greed and anticipation, and their thoughts were preoccupied with
how powerful it must be. 'Oh, I see! The life and death powers inside the blood-colored light came from
the Life and Death Relic! How come it didn't occur to me that the primitive life and death powers can
only be found in the Life and Death Relic?' Ricky thought in the privacy of his mind.

"It would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for you to explore the Life and Death Relic, Ricky. After all,
you own the Life and Death Zone and cultivate the Life and Death Skill. If you go there, you might get
to have a deeper understanding of life and death.

If that happens, your death power will be your best weapon, for you know that no living being can stand
up to it.

Plus, you can learn how to resurrect people with your life power.

I'm sure you can also find many Treasures from Heaven and Earth at the Sage Level there. If you are
lucky, you might even find a great saint's inheritance," the Dragon Intent Grass stated.

'With all those benefits, I'm looking forward to exploring that place,' Ricky thought to himself in his heart
as he was overcome with excitement.

The so-called Life and Death Relic had been formed by the small worlds left by top warriors from
ancient times after they perished.



Due to the fighting power in the ancient battlefield, the vitality and strength of the top warriors' corpses
formed primitive life power over the years.

All living creatures had the death power inside them, especially those who had sustained severe
injuries and died.

That was why death power could also form from their corpses.

After countless years, the death power had become the primitive death power, while these small worlds
formed a space.

The weakest among the ancient top warriors were demi-saints. Their bodies were highly valuable
because any demi-saint or saint had surely absorbed a myriad of cultivation resources and essence
power of heaven and earth.

Therefore, after they died, the energy they emitted naturally produced a bounty of Treasures from
Heaven and Earth.

That was how the Life and Death Relic came to be.

"I can't believe it. The Life and Death Relic!" George exclaimed again, sounding astonished still.

"But what about the blood-colored light?" he asked.

"The primitive death and life powers inside the blood-colored light are, in fact, from the Life and Death
Relic. That indicates this place is an entrance to the Life and Death Relic. Thus, there must be a space
rift somewhere inside the blood-colored light, and because you were preoccupied with something else,
you didn't notice it,"

Peter told them straightforwardly.



With that said, he jumped up toward the blood-colored light and delivered a punch towards the east,
where a spot instantly cracked open and a blood-colored rift appeared.

Out of the rift poured forth blood-colored light.

Ricky and the others present immediately sensed the stronger life power inside the blood-colored rift,
as well as the mighty aura it emitted.

"If my guess is correct, this rift leads to the Life and Death Relic," Peter explained with a trace of
excitement in his voice.

When all the others heard this, they turned to look at the rift, and their faces lit up with delight.

"Peter, how did you find out about this place? And why are you showing it to us?" George abruptly
asked as he stared suspiciously at Peter.

"It's because I am already familiar with the blood-colored light. Besides, the last time this ancient
battlefield opened, our elders discovered the blood-colored light here and entered the Life and Death
Relic," Peter retorted simply.

"As for why I am telling you this, I have my own reasons. First of all, you are here and curious about the
blood-colored light. Even if I kept it a secret from you, you would have explored this place after your
fight until you stumbled upon it. Thus, it would be just a matter of time before you found this rift without
my help.

Moreover, the Life and Death Relic is filled with dangers, and the blood-colored light itself is already
very dangerous. It will be too dangerous to explore on my own. Hence, I need more companions.

On top of that, you guys have some interesting tricks up your sleeves. It would be safer to explore the
Life and Death Relic with all of us together, right?



So that's why I am sharing my knowledge of the Life and Death Relic with you,"

Peter lengthily clarified. "Now, you know the reason," he added with a smile.

"I appreciate your honesty, Peter," George replied upon hearing his explanation.

"Ha-ha! Well, you didn't give me a choice. I wouldn't dare to lie to you," Peter retorted
jokingly.
