Blood Beasts and Blood Cores

As the blood mist gradually dissipated, a colossal Portal, reaching to the heavens and the earth, stood on the plain. Faintly, the roars of Fierce Beasts and the sounds of waves crashing against the shore seemed to Dang Kai.

Yang Tianyou held his wife's soft, fair wrist, his platinum pupils bulging out, with strands of mysterious and extraordinary Spirit Mark intertwining within them.

Since he mastered the White Emperor Indestructible Body, his Great White Gold Eyes lost their offensive capabilities. In their place, they gained far greater abilities to pierce through illusions and perceive the void.

His gaze fell, and a surging Blood River came into view. Scattered throughout the river Islands, and various Blood Beasts roamed freely within it...

This is absolutely the most unique Secret Realm place Yang Tianyou has ever seen.

Cracking!!

A deafening cry of birds echoed from afar, and many Cultivators turned to look. They saw a flock of roc birds with golden feathers, exceptionally handsome, and domineering and fierce auras soaring through the air.

"The Golden Roc Clan!" Yang Tianyou murmured softly.

Like the Flood Dragon Clan, this clan is a Divine Beast clan, with the bloodline of the legendary Divine Beast, the Golden-Winged Great Roc, flowing through their veins.

Not only is its speed unparalleled in the Lu Wu Realm, but it also possesses a powerful physique and is extremely skilled in battle. Even among the Flood Dragon Clan, it is often no match for the Golden Roc Clan at the same level.

However, the Golden Roc Clan has far fewer members than the Flood Dragon Clan, which is why they have been at a disadvantage in previous battles.

Amidst the raging winds, the Golden Roc Clan circled in the sky. The leading Golden Peng, a Nascent Spirit Transformation, opened and closed its beak, its voice sharp and piercing, capable of shattering gold and splitting stone.

"Are Human Race ready?"

As the voice faded, a Human Race Spirit Transformation dressed in white flew out, smiling faintly, and said, "Everything is ready. Once the Portal to the Secret Realm is fully formed, we can enter!"

"Hmm!" The Spirit Transformation Golden Peng Roc nodded and said no more.

Half an hour later, the gate to the Secret Realm shook violently, and the original illusory feeling completely disappeared, becoming as real as ever.

"Enter!" Upon seeing this, the white- Spirit Transformation waved his sleeve, and a Copper Mirror was hung high in front of the Portal as he spoke loudly.

"Enter the Secret Realm!" the Golden Peng, now a Spirit Transformation, said to the young men behind him.

Holding the tokens given to them by the Mountain and River Hall, Yang Tianyou and his wife entered the Blood River Secret Realm after being tested by the Copper Mirror.

A dizzying sensation washed over me, as if I were being swept into a turbulent undercurrent, completely losing my sense of direction.

Then, a flash of crimson light appeared, and in a blur, he found himself in the Secret Realm.

Yunhua beside him disappeared, and although they had held hands beforehand, it was to no avail.

Yang Tianyou didn't understand the principle behind this spatial distortion. All he wanted to know was why he was so unlucky; what were those chillingly white fangs in front of him?

Clang!!

The giant Blood Beast suddenly closed its mouth, swallowing the unsuspecting Yang Tianyou whole. Then, with a flick of its tail, it stirred up layers of bloody waves and disappeared into the vast Blood River.

Inside the Blood Beast's belly, Yang Tianyou frowned slightly as he looked at the highly corrosive gastric juices before him.

This Blood Beast was quite powerful, possessing the strength of the Late Golden Core, yet he encountered it so easily.

If it's not a matter of luck, there's only one explanation: there are quite a few Blood Beasts with Golden Core strength in the Blood River Secret Realm.

A faint platinum glow spread across the skin's surface, forming a protective shield that kept the disgusting gastric juices out of the body.

Then, Yang Tianyou made a gesture with his right hand, and the Twin Blades appeared in his palm.

Great White Heavenly Blade!

Clang!--

A terrifying blade of energy swept outwards, slashing fiercely upwards.

Pfft!!

Blood surged forth, and the intense pain caused the Blood Beast to writhe wildly.

Clang! Clang! Clang!

A crisscrossing array of sword lights swept out from the Blood Beast's body, instantly slicing the Giant Beast, which was tens of meters long, into several pieces.

As Starlight streaked across the sky, like a shooting star, Yang Tianyou stood in the turbulent Blood River, quietly watching the Blood Beast struggling incessantly.

A moment later, his pupils contracted sharply.

The guy in front of him, whom he had chopped into five or six pieces, was still alive and kicking. Although he was screaming in pain, he didn't seem to have suffered any serious injuries.

The severed body pieces were reconnected, and the horrific wounds healed at a visible speed.

"Just as the intelligence from the Myriad Forms Sect mentioned, as long as their Blood Cores aren't shattered, these Blood Beasts are practically immortal within the Blood River Secret Realm!"

Despite the turmoil in his mind, Yang Tianyou remained calm.

Perhaps for other cultivators, finding the Blood Core of this Blood Beast would be extremely difficult, because all living beings would protect their vital points to the best of their ability, and would not be easily found by others.

However, for him, it was nothing more than a trivial matter.

Golden Eyes slightly opened, and a gaze that seemed to see through everything descended, enveloping the Blood Beast whose body had almost completely recovered.

As flesh and blood were peeled away inch by inch, everything seemed to become an illusion under the Golden Eyes, with only the fist-sized Blood Core shining brightly and standing out conspicuously.

"Found it!" Yang Tianyou smiled faintly, then raised his long sword, leaped forward, and slashed out fiercely.

Boom!

His powerful physique was like a shooting star falling from the sky—scorching, terrifying, and unstoppable.

Laugh!!

In the blink of an eye, a large amount of blood-red river water evaporated, forming a straight vacuum channel.

Following the passage, Yang Tianyou arrived beside the Blood Beast in an instant, a thin layer of Blade Gang emanating from his longsword.

It wasn't as grand as before, but the sharpness it contained seemed capable of cleaving the entire sky.

Roar!!

Despite its low Wisdom, the Blood Beast is still a living being, and sensing the threat of death, it began to struggle desperately.

A massive amount of the Blood River water surged in, forming a huge whirlpool from which an extremely terrifying devouring power emanated.

However, facing this vortex that could swallow Late Golden Core cultivator whole, Yang Tianyou remained unmoved. His White Emperor Indestructible Body trembled slightly, and wave-like ripples emerged, easily blocking the devouring power.

At that moment, a terrifying blade of light slashed down from the sky, cleaving the vortex in two with a single strike.

With another slash, a huge crack appeared in the Blood Beast's tough body, exposing its Blood Core.

As the third strike landed, a mournful roar Dang Kai through the Blood River, then grew fainter and fainter until it was barely audible.
