The sudden explosion caught everyone off guard. Especially when the energy wave hit, many martial artists were thrown into disarray. Instantly, moans sounded throughout.
Thankfully, Jackson and the others managed to get away. Otherwise, they would be heavily injured if they were close to the explosion spot.
When the dust settled, everyone found that the village head’s house had been destroyed. The ground was filled with debris and wreckage.
Meanwhile, Ryan had disappeared along with the tree. The only thing left was the Draken Rope lying on the ground.
Plus, the ground was covered with black crystals that scattered around like cobblestones.
Dustin saw that those crystals shot out of Ryan’s body after he exploded.
The smell of the crystals signified that it was made from blood. A normal human’s blood was usually in liquid form, but Ryan’s blood had become crystals before he died.
It was an abnormal phenomenon.
Dustin always thought he was quite knowledgeable. However, everything that happened today was outside of his knowledge.
First, Ryan had gone crazy. Then, his body got stronger. He no longer feared pain or death, resembling a mad beast.
Most importantly, Ryan’s body had undergone weird changes. He had sharp teeth and nails, and black scales even appeared on his skin. This caused him to be nearly impervious to blades and swords.
Ryan couldn’t be considered a human by his appearance, but a monster!
The black solid crystals were enough to prove that there was something wrong with him.
Dustin wondered what had happened to Ryan for him to become like this.
Ryan was completely normal when Dustin performed a check-up on him. Yet, the former had undergone such big changes in just a few hours.
Perhaps Dustin had missed something.
Dustin furrowed his eyebrows thoughtfully.
Although Dustin was unsure of the reason, he felt that Ryan’s mutation had something to do with the mysterious oasis.
However, Ryan had already been killed. There was no way for Dustin to investigate about it now. It was just like the rumor. Those who entered the oasis would either go missing or dead. Nobody had been able to escape from this fate.
“Are these things the legendary eclipse spiritstone?” Grace picked up a black crystal on the ground. There was a hint of surprise in her eyes.
“What? Eclipse spiritstone? Are you sure?” This perked Aidan’s interest.
Eclipse spiritstone was a crystal infused with spiritual energy. Martial artists could absorb it and convert the spiritual energy inside into their own cultivation.
While there were also similar spiritual energy crystals in the martial world, they were extremely rare. Plus, they were not as effective as an eclipse spritstone. Bluntly put, the small eclipse spiritstone in Grace’s hands was worth billions of dollars if auctioned!
However, there was not only one eclipse spiritstone. Instead, the entire ground was scattered with it, making up about a thousand of them.
Their immense value made it difficult to calculate how much it was worth.
If someone were to absorb all of them, it could help a fully developed divine- level martial artist advance into a grandmaster martial artist.
Therefore, even a grandmaster martial artist like Aidan got excited when he saw the eclipse spritstone.
“I got an eclipse spritstone before, so I shouldn’t be wrong.” Grace held the black crystal and examined it.
Then, she changed the topic. ” However, this looks a bit different from the one I had last time.”
“It doesn’t matter as long as it’s an eclipse spritstone. I can feel the immense spiritual energy fluctuating inside of it!”
