And, what role did it play?
âI feel that the secret should be underneath this grinderâ¦â
Joe said to Phoenix, âThe endpoint of this flowing divine blood is the start of this predicament.â

Phoenix sighed. âHowever, we are no different from ants right now. We simply have no way to explore
it. Besides, we still donât know how to get out.â
âThatâs true.â Joe said, âBut, I remember Sinless City is underneath the expanse of desert in front of the
gate of the Pantheon Tomb⦠Could it be that the place where the sky split open just now is where the
Pantheon Tomb is located?â
Joe
Alex
Unfortunately, he had no way to communicate with the Pantheon Tomb now. Everything had turned out
to be a dead end.
It was then that Phoenix saw someone approaching silently on the other side of the grinder.
At a glance, it was the Undead Queen.
Clearly, her cultivation was also under restriction. Moreover, what was unluckier was that she was
walking with a limp as if she had a broken leg. Her goal was probably that half Five-clawed Golden
Dragon.
âItâs the Undead Queen!â
âItâs really that devil! Haha! Take her life while she is ill!â
âIâll go kill her!â
Joe was overjoyed. He immediately picked Phoenix up and rushed down.

Phoenix said, âShe is shivering and is crippled now. Donât ever let her drink the dragonâs blood.
Otherwise, she will most probably recover from her leg injury and restore her mobility in a short time.â
âAlright!â
Then, Joe put Phoenix down and charged toward the Undead Queen alone.
Joe
Alex
âJuvia, hey! Serve you right! Hahaha!â
Juvia was a strikingly beautiful woman. She looked like Alison Brie after applying extreme beauty
filters. She immediately raised her head like a rabbit caught in the headlights when she heard Joeâs
voice. After that, she hurriedly turned around and ran away.
Joe
Alex
âYouâre trying to run away? Not so easy!â
He quickly chased after her. However, that lame woman managed to run away fast. She then turned
around and hid inside an ancient building.
âBe careful. Donât go in. Watch out for trickery,â Phoenix shouted.
Joe stopped in his tracks. As expected, he did not go forward.
Joe
Alex
At that moment, the weather changed again. It became windy. A lot of yellow sand was blown over.
âLooks like a sandstorm is coming! Hurry up! Letâs find a place to hide!â Phoenix ran down.
There were many ancient buildings in this gigantic city. After searching around, Joe found a decent
hiding place next to the vast grinder. He hurriedly took Phoenixâs hand and ran inside⦠After half a
minute, he held a large broken jar and rushed toward the Five-clawed Golden Dragon. He feared that
the sandstorm would bury it, and the dragonâs blood could no longer be found. It just so happened that
a broken jar was inside that building.
Joe
Alex
He instantly rushed over and filled it up before running back. Right after he ran back, the sky turned
dark suddenly. The surroundings had really become pitch-black.
He had no cultivation and the primordial eye, so he could not see anything. After calling out to Phoenix
twice, he found her by following the voice.
âHow was it?â
âI got a jar. Thereâs nothing I could do about the rest.â
Phoenix took his hand and sat down on the side. âThis hellhole is too weird. Itâs really unbearable. In
order to prevent the Undead Queen from sneaking over, we should take turns to rest. I have just taken
a nap. Itâs your turn to sleep now. Iâll keep watch.ââ
Joe nodded. He unreservedly laid down and pillowed his head on Phoenixâs lap right away.
