He raised his eyes and saw that the mountain and river land ahead was desolate. The grass and trees had withered and the water had dried up. The boundless land had started to crack like a piece of a turtle's shell.

This kind of scene was very similar to the Great Desolate Hall's space in the Desolate Ruins back then. Fortunately, everyone had long absorbed the 'Desolate Source' and they had the power of the Desolate Force within their bodies.
Guan Ye was the only one who had not cultivated the Great Desolate Force. However, her cultivation level was not weak, and she was able to resist the power of the Desolate Force.
Desolate grass and dust filled the air.
The withered leaves flew in the air, and the birds wailed.
What surprised Han Chen was that he could still barely see one or two carrion eagles and eagles in this area. These eagles and flying beasts stopped beside some bones and let out hoarse and unpleasant cries.
This was true desolation!
Han Chen sighed in his heart, this kind of scene could truly be described as desolate.
After a moment, a wide river appeared in front of them.
The Desolate Sky River was a thousand miles long and three hundred miles wide.
This was a large, lifeless river. The water was grey and boundless. It was so calm that not a single ripple could be seen. Even if a gentle breeze blew past it, it would not be able to cause even the slightest ripple.
Under normal circumstances, even a small lake would cause a slight wave.
And this thousand meter long river was like a piece of still water.
"What a thick 'power of desolation'," Li Mao said as he gently nodded.
"Indeed!" Han Chen muttered and agreed. This seemingly tranquil Huang Tianhe actually contained an extremely dense amount of 'Desolate Attribute' power, and such power could indeed be absorbed by the human body.
Then, Han Chen turned to Xie Wuchang and asked, "Where are the others?"
"On the Savage Alligator Island, the power of desolation there is the strongest. Many people gather there." Xie Wuchang explained.
Before they found Han Chen and the others, Xie Wuchang and the others had already scouted around in the Desolate Sky River, and had a rough understanding of the region.
Immediately, everyone went to the so called Savage Crocodile Island under Xie Wuchang's lead.
Roughly a moment later, a middle-sized unique looking object appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
It was long and narrow, like a giant crocodile.
When not even a blade of grass grew, all that was left was that strange mountain rock. The skies above the vicious alligator island were shrouded in thick black clouds, blotting out the sky and blotting out the sun. It seemed as if a divine punishment would descend upon them at any moment.
With Savage Crocodile Island as the center, many young talents of both genders were gathered in the sky above the Savage Heavenly River.
Everyone was either concentrating on absorbing the vast amounts of energy in the world, or searching for something in the surroundings.
There were even more bold people who directly jumped into the water of the Desolate Sky River and dived into the water to absorb the energy.
At a glance, there weren't ten thousand people on Savage Alligator Island, but there were at least eight thousand.
Han Chen was secretly surprised, he never thought that there would be so many people who would train in the Great Wastelands.
Of course, there were two ways to train the power of the Desolate Force.
The first method was to use martial elemental energy to convert the pure energy within one's body into the power of the Great Desolate.
The other was that the primordial spirit had the attribute of the Great Desolate Force. It could unleash the power of the Desolate Force without being converted.
The former was relatively easy. If an ordinary genius were to cultivate since young, they would be able to reach the small success stage in a few years or even ten years.
The second method was extremely difficult. Without the help of external factors, those who were able to comprehend it and succeed were without a doubt the top geniuses within tens of thousands.
However, it was true that Han Chen belonged to the second type, but he had relied on the 'Origin of Desolation' that the Great Desolate Saint left behind. This was the reason why there were so few peers who could accomplish such a thing.
What was worth mentioning was that even though Han Chen had taken a shortcut, he still had two The Supreme Divine Diagram with him. As long as he had the help of the The Supreme Divine Diagram with the power of the great wasteland, he would still have a day where he was able to amaze everyone.
Taking Zhong Li's words for example, Han Chen seizing the origin of desolation was simply to conceal the existence of The Supreme Divine Diagram.
"Buzz buzz!"
Geniuses from all sorts of places gathered in the sky above Savage Crocodile Island. This made the usually lifeless Desolate Sky River become much more lively. The surface of the water also had layers upon layers of waves. However, these gray splashes appeared especially strange.
This place was pretty much at the center of the Wasteland Heavenly River. The Wasteland energy that could be absorbed was indeed the most abundant here.
"Han Chen, where are they?!" Xie Wuchang pointed at the few familiar figures on the shore of the island.
Han Chen raised his eyebrows and looked over. It was Xie Qufeng, Ge Liuyi, Dao Huixian and Xie Yang.
Hearing the commotion, the four of them raised their heads and looked in their direction.
"Han Chen?" Xie Qufeng and the rest's eyes lit up.
"Swoosh!"
Han Chen and his group landed on the ground in succession, and immediately went up to greet him. It's good that you guys are fine. "
Everyone greeted each other simply, and after that, Han Chen introduced Guan Liu Xing and Li Mao, and the two also waved to each other.
Guan Ye naturally asked Xie Qufeng and the others about the matter of 'Big Sister Guan Yue', but the answers he got were all negative, and in the end, he did not ask any further questions.
"Let's briefly talk about the situation regarding the Desolate Sky River!" Han Chen immediately went to the main topic.
"Mm, it's like this." Xie Qufeng nodded his head, and pointed to the vast ocean ahead, and said, "We have investigated, and the power of desolation that the human body can absorb, all originates from this water. Those who have cultivated the initial stage of the Great Desolate Force can only absorb energy from the water surface or above, while those who have reached the initial stage will be able to dive thirty meters into the water surface. "
"In other words, the more one's attainments in the power of desolation is, the deeper they can dive into the water, and the deeper they go into the water, the more energy they can absorb?" Han Chen asked.
"That's right!" Xie Qufeng nodded.
"Among us, thirty meters is the limit. On the other hand, Xie Qufeng can dive to around fifty meters underwater. " The one who spoke was the evil seed of the Spirit Sky City, Ge Liuyi.
Han Chen nodded, "I understand."
If that was the case, these geniuses gathered above the Huang Tianhe were only part of the geniuses that cultivated the power of the Great Desolate Force.
Geniuses were indeed worthless in the Hundred Year Rites. There were all sorts of geniuses that were rarely seen in ten years or even a hundred. It was truly hard to count them all in one go.
In this situation, entering the top 100 rankings of the 'Thousand Veins Martial Meeting' was simply too difficult. Just thinking about it caused everyone to shake their heads.
"Then, if I don't cultivate the Great Desolate Force, can I absorb it into the water?" Guan Ye asked a question of 'innocence'.
"Hmm?"
Everyone could not help but be startled, Xie Qufeng then pointed to a shore not far away, "That man's previous thoughts were the same as yours, it's now turned into this."
Following Xie Qufeng's finger, everyone turned to look at that direction. It didn't matter if they didn't look, but once they did, they were shocked.
There was no one there, only a dried up corpse lying quietly on the ground.
"Crash!"
A light wave rushed over, and with a "weng" sound, the corpse turned into dust and disappeared into the air.
Master Guan was so scared that his mouth was wide open. He subconsciously took a few steps back and looked at the water in front of him with fear.
"I didn't say anything."
Everyone tried their best not to laugh. Indeed, the power of the Wasteland was an amazing power, but at the same time, it was also a terrifying power.
Being eroded by the power of desolation, even if one didn't die, their fate would be extremely miserable.
After understanding in detail about the matter of the Huang Tianhe, the few of them did not plan on procrastinating any longer. They would obtain the necessary strength as soon as possible before leaving.
"All of you should begin to absorb the power from the Desolate Sky River! "Everything is for safety. Don't try to show off." Han Chen warned with a solemn tone.
"Yes sir!"
Everyone nodded their heads in agreement. Then, Xie Qufeng led Lin Pu and the rest to find a suitable water body, and jumped into the water to absorb the power of the Desolate Force.
When Li Mao also entered the river, only Han Chen and Guan Ye remained on the shore.
Master Guan pouted. She looked pitiful. She felt like the whole world was bullying her.
Han Chen was both angry and amused, "I say, Second Miss Guan, you don't need to look like you have a deep grudge with us right?"
"Hmph, it was you guys who lured me here, but I couldn't do anything in the end. I can only watch as you guys take advantage of me. Do you think it's fair?"
"Hur hur, alright! Then I'll find you something to do, okay? "
"What?"
With that said, Han Chen extended his right hand, and with lightning speed, lightly tapped the opponent's forehead, and a ray of golden luster quickly entered Guan Ye's forehead.
"What are you doing?" Just as Guan Wenxing wanted to get angry, he found that there was an additional, unfamiliar piece of information in his mind.
"This is?"
"Art of the Blood Demon Slaughtering the Heavens!"
"What?" Guan Yue's eyes widened as he said in disbelief, "Is that the move you used to defeat the three geniuses at half-step into the eighth stage of the long habitat?"
Han Chen nodded with certainty, "That's right, now is the time for you to be on balance, isn't it?"
"Balance, balance," Guan Ye nodded his head like a chick pecking rice, his eyes were shining, "Han Chen, I admire you so much, I am so touched that I am about to cry, wuu."
Han Chen started perspiring profusely, this girl's character was exactly the same as Ming Ruo's. Although he had passed down the 'Blood Demon Slaughtering Heaven Technique' to his opponent, without the help of the Blood Demon Heart, if he wanted to master it, he would have to spend a lot of time to master it.
However, Han Chen could see that when he was in the Main City, Guan Ye was extremely envious of the Blood Demon Slaying Heaven Art that he had performed. As for whether or not she could cultivate well, that would depend on her own ability.
After giving a few simple instructions to Guan Ye, Han Chen started to busy himself.
"Bang bang!"
A series of splashes rose from the surface of the Huang Tianhe River. Under the envious gazes of the surrounding people, Han Chen directly burrowed into the depths of the water.
