Peril

In the Savage Wilderness Great Domain, at the Blood God Hall, atop the Hexagonal Altar.

The elderly Blood Race Sage Manifestation's expression changed, and he said, "My senses have become blurred again. That little thief with the Blood Source has already left the Eastern Continent. Now I can only vaguely sense that he has entered the Chaotic Sea."

The other Blood Race Sage Manifestation their powers turned pale upon hearing this.

Why did this person enter the Chaotic Sea?

"Could it be that we're going to auction off Blood Source at the Spiritvoid Trading Grounds?"

"The Spiritvoid Trading Grounds is the largest Black Market in the Lu Wu Realm, and with the Spiritvoid Pavilion there, our clan has no way to interfere. Selling Blood Source there is indeed a good plan!"

"Hmph, although we can't cross the border into the Northern River Region, no one in the Chaotic Sea cares about us. I'll set off for the Four Symbols Island right now. If that little thief really intends to sell the Blood Source at the Spiritvoid Trading Grounds, given his previous speed, I could intercept him beforehand and take back the Blood Source!" The older Blood Race Sage Manifestation finished speaking and was about to leave.

Another Blood Race Sage Manifestation stopped him and handed him a Sixth Tier Space Law Treasure. This was one of the Blood Race's most valuable assets, enough to break through space and travel at great speed.

Upon receiving this Space Law Treasure, the elderly Sage Manifestation's form twisted and slowly disappeared.

A day later, he appeared outside Four Symbols Island, intently sensing something.

At that very moment, a magnificent and imposing golden blade of light flew rapidly from outside, its terrifying power causing the Blood Race to show a Sage Manifestation expression.

"The Eight Desolations Saber Saint!" he murmured softly.

Without manifesting Sage Manifestation, it's difficult to truly understand the Eight Desolations Saber Saint's status in the Lu Wu Realm.

This unparalleled prodigy of the Blade Dao, in terms of strength, ranks among the top ten of the hundreds of Sage Manifestation in the entire Lu Wu Realm, making him incredibly terrifying.

Among the entire Blood Race, the only one capable of directly confronting the Eight Desolations Saber Saint is probably the current Lord of the Blood God Hall.

He is far from being a match for him. If they were to actually fight, he would probably be cut down by the other man's blade in no time.

Ignoring the Eight Desolations Saber Saint, the Blood Race Sage Manifestation continued to stake out the Four Symbols Island. However, strangely, his connection to the Blood Source suddenly disappeared an hour ago.

The reason the Sage Manifestation Blood Race still here waiting is simply because they are clinging to a sliver of hope.

Surrounded by mountains and water, a small stone house stands on a hillside. In front of the house is a golden Bamboo Forest, where several round Iron-Eating Beasts are playing.

Despite their harmless appearance, these Iron-Eating Beasts are at least at the Nascent Soul Late Stage, and relying on their talents, their combat power is no less than that of top-tier Human Race.

She's a bit naive and easily fooled.

A flash of light appeared, followed by a long trail of light as it landed before the Bamboo Forest, revealing the figures of the Eight Desolations Saber Saint and Yang Tianyou.

Upon seeing this, several Iron-Eating Beasts rushed over, whimpering around the Eight Desolations Saber Saint, their plump buttocks wiggling, pushing Yang Tianyou aside.

Yang Tianyou looked at the scene before him with a strange expression. He really didn't expect that the seemingly unrestrained and wild Eight Desolations Saber Saint would actually like the Iron-Eating Beast, a kind of silly and cute Demon Beast, and even raise a whole bunch of them.

After sending the Iron-Eating Beasts away, the Eight Desolations Saber Saint turned around and laughed, "Don't underestimate these Iron-Eating Beasts. If they get angry, they're enough to flatten a once-thriving Nascent Soul sect!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Tianyou was taken aback. The Iron-Eating Beast was born with a talent for Concealment its aura, and since this was, after all, the territory of the Eight Desolations Saber Saint, he couldn't just release his senses recklessly.

Unexpectedly, these Iron-Eating Beasts were so powerful.

"Alright, let's take care of business first. If you like Iron-Eating Beasts, I'll give you one when they have cubs!" Eight Desolations Saber Saint laughed heartily and patted Yang Tianyou on the shoulder.

The two arrived in front of the stone house. The Eight Desolations Saber Saint took out the True Blood Pool, examined it for a moment, then formed a sword with his fingers and made a light slash.

Clang!--

The terrifying blade light flashed and disappeared in an instant. Yang Tianyou felt a chill run down his spine, and his neck felt cold. He hadn't even seen how the Blade Saint made his move.

Click!!

With a crisp sound, the invisible restriction placed on the True Blood Pool was broken open, revealing the Blood Source inside.

Upon seeing this, the Eight Desolations Saber Saint flicked his fingertips repeatedly, and seemingly endless Golden Stars fell from his hands, landing in different locations within the True Blood Pool.

Splash!

The water surged and churned, and the phantom of Xuanwu appeared faintly. The dark blue Xuanming Qi surged and rolled, like water purifying the world, slowly clearing away a certain aura imprinted on the True Blood Pool.

Half an hour later, the Eight Desolations Saber Saint stopped, placed the Blood Source in the True Blood Pool, and then threw it directly to Yang Tianyou.

With a thick, bushy beard bobbing up and down accompanied by a hearty laugh, the Blade Saint said, "The aura left behind by that Blood Race Sage Manifestation has been completely eliminated by me. Moreover, I Blade Domain to set up another layer of Concealment restrictions on the True Blood Pool, so even if the Blood Race Sage Manifestation were right in front of me, it would be difficult for him to sense the True Blood Pool and Blood Source on your body."

"Thank you very much, Senior Brother Ba Huang!" Yang Tianyou bowed deeply in gratitude after receiving the Blood Source.

The Eight Desolations Saber Saint waved his hand, glanced at the horizon, then turned his head and said with a half-smile, "Junior Brother Great White, do you know that you just stepped through the Gate of Hell?"

"The Gate of Hell?" Yang Tianyou was taken aback, not understanding.

So, the Eight Desolations Saber Saint told him about the Blood Race Sage Manifestation who had been lying in wait outside the Four Symbols Island.

Upon hearing this, Yang Tianyou's hair stood on end, large beads of sweat dripped from his forehead, and his heart pounded uncontrollably.

If he hadn't notified his senior brother Ba Huang to come and meet him in time, and instead had gone to Four Symbols Island with a fluke mentality, he probably wouldn't even know how he died.

There is great terror between life and death. Yang Tianyou is not afraid of death, but that does not mean he is willing to die.

He also possessed the same fear of death as the average person, perhaps even more so.

The difference is that he can suppress this fear with strong willpower, something a normal person cannot do.

Call!!

After a long while, having calmed down, Yang Tianyou bowed deeply and said solemnly, "Senior brother saved my life; Tianyou have no way to repay you."

Upon hearing this, the Eight Desolations Saber Saint smiled and said, "Between you and me, fellow disciples, there's no need for such formalities. I'm pointing this out not to seek repayment for a favor, but simply to remind you that there are countless intelligent people in the Cultivation World. Remember to act cautiously and never be careless. Otherwise, one wrong step will lead you into an Abyss."

"Blood Source is certainly a good thing, but it's not worth risking your life for it!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Tianyou was deeply moved and bowed again, "Thank you for your teachings, Tianyou Brother. I will never forget them!"

After saying this, he handed over the True Blood Pool, along with the Blood Source within it, saying, "Senior Brother first saved me, and then gave me much guidance. Tianyou have no way to repay you, so I am willing to give you half of this Blood Source as a token of my gratitude."

The Eight Desolations Saber Saint looked at the respectful Yang Tianyou in front of him and nodded inwardly.

Regardless of whether it's genuine or not, few can match that kind of courage.

Reaching out to help him up, the Blade Saint said, "I saved you out of brotherly affection; how can I take your Blood Source again?"

"However, I have a disciple who truly needs the Sage Manifestation Pill to break through to the Sage Manifestation Realm."

"Alright, I'll take the Blood Source, and then I'll ask a Sixth Tier Alchemist to refine it into Sage Manifestation Pill."

"Generally speaking, even with the worst luck, a single Blood Source can yield one Sage Manifestation Pill. Normally, it can yield two or three, and with exceptionally good luck, it's not impossible to refine four."

"I'll cover the costs of the labor and auxiliary ingredients for refining the Sage Manifestation Pill, so it's not unreasonable for me to take one Sage Manifestation Pill for that, is it? The rest of the Sage Manifestation Pills, no matter how many or how few, are all yours!"

"It's entirely up to Senior Brother to decide!" Yang Tianyou readily agreed; the plan proposed by the Eight Desolations Saber Saint was quite fair.

You should know that the value of those auxiliary medicines alone is almost equivalent to a single Sage Manifestation Pill, not to mention the favor from Sixth Tier Alchemist.

If you really think about it carefully, Yang Tianyou actually benefited.

Of course, Blood Source, the main ingredient for refining the Sage Manifestation Pill, is also something that can only be obtained by chance. The two offset each other, so it can be considered a win-win situation.

Through this incident, he also gained a deep understanding of this junior fellow student.

Generous, loyal, and unpretentious—that's the Eight Desolations Saber Saint. Being his friend or family member would be a truly reassuring experience.

On the other side, at the edge of Four Symbols Island, the hidden Blood Race Sage Manifestation.

The moment the Eight Desolations Saber Saint shattered the restrictions in the True Blood Pool, his expression changed drastically.

"The Blood Source... is gone!" After a long while, the Sage Manifestation sighed in despair, his body twisted, and he disappeared into the void.
