"You want to use the blood of the Sacred Beast here to seal Tuosen? Are you sure this method will work?"
Do Mu questioned Lin Che with a furrowed brow. He had never heard of such a thing before, and if anything went wrong, even he might end up as Tuosen's prey.
Lin Che nodded with a faint smile. "Rest assured, Senior. I once read of a sealing method in ancient texts. Using the Sacred Beast's essence blood will certainly strengthen the seal and may even put Tuosen into slumber."
At those words, Do Mu's heart skipped a beat.
If that was truly the case, then it was indeed a good solution. If they could put Tuosen to sleep, they would have more than enough time to break the seal and leave this damned place, the Ancient God's Land.
Do Mu looked toward Lin Che. After confirming that he was not deceiving him, he descended steadily onto the Dead Sea and lowered his voice. "Li Peng, come out."
As Do Mu's voice fell, the previously tranquil sea instantly began to boil. Then, a creature tens of thousands of feet long, neither dragon nor flood dragon, suddenly emerged from the Dead Sea. With a single movement, it sent waves rolling across the entire sea.
At that moment, a human head slowly emerged from the creature's mouth. It was Li Peng, the man who had escaped Tuosen's pursuit years ago.
Li Peng stared coldly at Do Mu and said grimly, "Do Mu, what is the meaning of this? Didn't we agree that you would not wake me unless Tuosen came?"
While Do Mu spoke with Li Peng, Lin Che's gaze remained fixed on the scales behind Li Peng. According to the original novel's description, the inheritance beneath the pool had merely been a decoy for the Inheritance of Memories.
The true Inheritance of Memories had always been on this creature that was neither dragon nor flood dragon. It clearly had not noticed anything and did not know that the Inheritance of Memories was on its body.
Do Mu swept his gaze over Lin Che and said indifferently, "Little friend, I have already explained everything to Li Peng. Next, it will give you its blood. I hope you can seal Tuosen."
Lin Che nodded. "Rest assured, Senior. As long as I obtain the blood, dealing with Tuosen will naturally be easy."
Do Mu said nothing more. Just as he was about to tell Li Peng to draw blood, he saw Lin Che rush forward. As Lin Che's fingers moved rapidly, countless golden runes abruptly appeared in midair.
Seeing those strange golden runes, Do Mu froze for a moment before immediately demanding, "Little friend, what are you doing?"
"Rest assured, Senior. This is merely a method for extracting the Sacred Beast's essence blood. There is no danger."
Hearing Lin Che's answer, Do Mu felt that something was off. After all, despite his strength and knowledge, he naturally knew nothing of something as special as the Ancient God Art.
The reason Lin Che had been able to fly through the Ancient God's Meridians was entirely because he had used the Ancient God Art he obtained years ago. Only then could he travel through this place. Otherwise, with his strength, he could never have moved about so freely.
The Ancient God's Inheritance of Memories could only be obtained through divine sense. That was precisely why Lin Che had returned to the Ancient God's Land without fear to seek the Inheritance of Memories.
"Ancient God Art, merge!"
Lin Che formed hand seals, and countless golden rays gathered at one point, continuously merging into the scales of the creature that was neither dragon nor flood dragon, frantically stripping something away from its body.
As the stripping continued, the energy in the area grew extraordinarily violent. Even the once-calm sea began to boil fiercely.
Do Mu's expression darkened. He could not understand what Lin Che was trying to do. He had actually triggered such a heavenly phenomenon here—could this fellow be trying to kill Li Peng?
But on second thought, Lin Che was merely at the mid Soul Formation Stage. No matter how powerful he was, he could not possibly be Li Peng's match, much less take his life.
Lin Che narrowed his eyes, glancing at Do Mu from the corner of his eye. Just as I suspected, Do Mu has no idea what the Inheritance of Memories really is.
I was fortunate enough to obtain the Ancient God Art back then. It should be enough to let me seize the Ancient God's Inheritance of Memories as quickly as possible.
With that thought, red light flashed intensely around Lin Che's body. Strands of chaotic aura spread from within him and frantically merged into the inheritance scales. At the same time, he struck his chest with his right hand and spat out a mouthful of crimson blood to withstand the release of that energy.
At this moment, Li Peng realized something was wrong and immediately shouted toward Do Mu, "Do Mu, stop him! That bastard is using the Ancient God Art!"
"Ancient God Art?"
Only then did Do Mu react, realizing the severity of the matter. He shot toward Lin Che at high speed, intending to stop him from continuing to inherit the Ancient God's Inheritance of Memories.
"You only realized it now? Too late."
Lin Che moved his fingers again. The Middle-Grade Immortal Treasure, the Nine-Layered Exquisite Pagoda, instantly descended from the sky, shooting out countless azure chains that tightly bound Do Mu within them.
"A Middle-Grade Immortal Treasure?"
A sneer appeared at the corner of Do Mu's lips as he slowly said, "Such an immortal treasure may be useful against Peak Stage cultivators, but against me, it is nothing more than an ant trying to shake a tree!"
"Three breaths are enough to hold you back."
Boom!
As a deafening roar suddenly rang out, the space within the entire Dead Sea trembled violently. Even experts in the Blood Sea tens of thousands of miles away could sense that something was wrong.
"Break!"
Energy like a heavenly catastrophe suddenly slammed into the Nine-Layered Exquisite Pagoda. The seemingly indestructible pagoda was now covered in vast cracks.
Lin Che glanced over and immediately recalled the Nine-Layered Exquisite Pagoda. Holding the other party back for three breaths had already been enough.
"Stop!"
Do Mu charged forward at once.
However, he was clearly already too late. The moment his fingers touched the scales, boundless energy suddenly burst from them. The indescribable power blasted Do Mu backward, making him vomit blood once more.
"Lin Che, you tricked me!"
Do Mu gritted his teeth. His hatred for Lin Che was beyond words, and he wished he could kill this bastard on the spot.
Not only did the divine sense within the entire Dead Sea churn violently, but even the energy in the Blood Sea became exceedingly restless.
Especially Demon God Tuo Sen, who had been resting with his eyes closed. The instant he sensed the energy fluctuations coming from the Dead Sea, he immediately stood up, his expression changing drastically.
"This is the aura of the Inheritance of Memories. How is that possible?"
Tuosen could not have imagined even in his dreams that the Inheritance of Memories he had waited ten thousand years for would be taken by someone else today.
At that moment, his fury was impossible to conceal. Tuosen slaughtered the puppets here like a madman, and with every swing, hundreds of puppets died on the spot.
"Lin Che, I, Tuosen, swear that whether in the heavens or the underworld, I will tear you to pieces and refine your soul for ten million years, so that you will beg for life but be unable to live, beg for death but be unable to die!!!"
