Blood Sea True Scripture, merging with the Blood Sea!
"Karmic Fire?!"
The raging Karmic Fire seemed poised to spread along the Blood Sea towards the three of them.
"Retreat!"
"Get out!"
Ao Zhuo roared.
With three swords protecting him, he swept himself and Ao Jue aside and moved towards the outer reaches of the sky. Ao Shang was also quick, following closely behind.
In the blink of an eye.
Emerging from the Blood Sea, they landed in the sky. The three exchanged a glance, their eyes still showing lingering fear.
"Yu Gong and Miaoyu have committed such sins that they are consumed by Karmic Fire and will surely die."
"But before that."
"We True Immortals cannot even get close to them or enter the Blood Sea!"
Ao Shang frowned.
Seeing the Karmic Fire, who would dare to approach?
One careless move and one's body and soul are destroyed, and tens of thousands of years of cultivation are ruined in an instant. Who wouldn't be afraid?
However, if one cannot enter the Blood Sea, one cannot stop Blood Sea from rising.
If this continues, East Sinking Continent will sooner or later be submerged in the Blood Sea and turned into a dead land.
The three remained silent, unable to think of a solution.
The Ghost-Cry Maze.
When Lu Qingfeng saw the three True Immortals, Ao Zhuo, Ao Shang, and Ao Jue, appear and then flee in fright, he remained unmoved.
This is what makes Karmic Fire so terrifying.
Even True Immortal would feel terrified at the mere sight of it.
Ignore the internal and external commotion.
Lu Qingfeng continued to look.
Seeing that there was no one in the Blood Sea, the Karmic Fire on Yu Gong and Miaoyu's bodies, which was originally just a tiny wisp, has now grown into a thicket that covers their entire bodies.
The giant, having monopolized the Sorrow River Water Army and a host of True Immortals, found himself in a state of decline.
As the Blood Sea rises, turmoil ensues across vast distances.
Lu Qingfeng had a thought—
"Now is the time!"
A single thought arises.
Within the Blood Sea, two whirlpools spread out, stirring up raging waves. A mysterious transformation seemed to be taking place, indescribable.
Strange waves rippled and undulated.
Like a thought, the thought instantly covered the vast Blood Sea, and this strange fluctuation permeated the Blood Sea in an instant.
"Um?!"
Amidst the Blood Sea, gasps of surprise and disbelief arose.
Yu Gong and Miaoyu opened their eyes at the same time, embraced each other, and scanned behind each other with their divine senses.
A short while later.
Nothing was gained.
Sizzle!
The Karmic Fire burns incessantly, and even the divine thoughts that are covered by it are scorched by the Karmic Fire. The Dharma protects them from being reduced to nothingness, but the suffering is increased a thousandfold or even ten thousandfold.
Despite enduring the pain, they investigated but found nothing.
"Senior brother."
"The Karmic Fire is powerful. Those three bedbugs that came in just now were immediately frightened away when they saw the Karmic Fire."
"With this protection, no one can peek into the Blood Sea."
Miaoyu said in a crisp voice.
"Um."
Yu Gong nodded.
With his thoughts calmed, he continued to practice the Great Law while resisting the boundless pain of being burned by Karmic Fire.
In this way.
After thirteen breaths.
Boom!
Yu Gong and Miaoyu's divine senses swept out simultaneously, covering all directions and penetrating deep into the Blood Sea.
Sizzle sizzle sizzle
The two were completely oblivious to the scorching Karmic Fire.
The investigation that had just been quelled turned out to be a feigned attempt to mislead.
Her divine sense swept over the area, and after a long while, Miaoyu frowned. "Senior brother, have you found any clues?"
Yu Gong, writhing in Karmic Fire, had a ferocious expression. Sensing his surroundings, he looked on in astonishment, "This Blood Sea— "
"Blood Sea?"
Miaoyu carefully sensed it, and her eyes immediately widened in shock, "A will has arisen from the Blood Sea?!"
This was no small matter.
Within this vast Blood Sea, one is given the feeling of a creation of Spirit Birth; how terrifying is that?
"Senior brother!"
Miaoyu panicked and made a mistake, losing contact with Yu Gong.
The next moment.
Boom!
The Karmic Fire blazed violently, and with a deafening roar, it burned half of Miaoyu's body to ashes.
"Ah!"
Miaoyu screamed, only half of her face remained, and the splattering blood was horrifying and nauseating.
Don't get distracted!
Yu Gong held Miaoyu tightly and whispered sweet nothings in Miaoyu ear.
Miaoyu immediately pulled herself out of her pain and her mind was elsewhere.
The Karmic Fire subsided slightly.
"Senior brother."
For Mahayana True Immortal, regeneration of severed limbs should be a simple matter, but Miaoyu's half-body failed to regenerate for a long time. This was due to the burning of Karmic Fire, which was irreversible. Not only was half of her body burned to ashes, but even her soul suffered severe damage.
Even if the Karmic Fire subsides now, Miaoyu's cultivation and spiritual practice will still regress.
Any random True Immortal could kill him.
They managed to stabilize the situation, albeit barely.
"It's nothing."
Don't get distracted.
Yu Gong embraced Miaoyu, who was now only half-formed, comforting her while simultaneously trying to regain his composure, daring not to be distracted again. Miaoyu did the same. But whenever she thought of the hazy, indistinct will within the Blood Sea, she couldn't help but hesitate and tremble.
Outward manifestations—
The Karmic Fire that couldn't harm them before is now slowly burning and can cause irreparable damage to their bodies and souls.
Continue.
Sooner or later it will turn to ashes.
The two were anxious, Karmic Fire burned even faster.
They're stuck in a vicious cycle.
"Given this situation, even without my intervention, the two of them would find it difficult to achieve anything."
Lu Qingfeng faced upwards with his five palms facing the sky, his hands forming a mudra, his thoughts flowing.
A single thought plunges one into the Blood Sea.
A thought arose, rising and falling: to cultivate the "Blood Sea True Scripture".
Blood Sea True Scripture!
This was something Lu Qingfeng obtained from the Five Directions Realms; it was True Disciple Secret Method passed down through the Blood Sea Lineage, Profound-Grade Cultivation Method. Lu Qingfeng had always had plenty of other methods to practice, so the Blood Sea True Scripture had remained tucked away in a corner, never having been studied.
Therefore.
When I fought Jian Zhang of the Bloodspring Demon Sect back then, I had no idea what methods he used.
Moreover, even though Lu Qingfeng had studied the "Blood Sea True Scripture".
One is the Bloodspring Demon Sect's method, and the other is the Blood Sea True Disciple. Although both are related to the 'Blood Sea,' it is still uncertain whether they are connected. Even if Lu Qingfeng studies the 'Blood Sea True Scripture,' he may not be able to fully understand all the methods of the Bloodspring Demon Sect.
Just like—
Does Lu Qingfeng's cultivation of the "Luofu Sword Canon" mean he knows all the sword techniques in the world and can easily break them?!
Absurd!
However, more than two hundred years ago, when Luofuzi's clone entered the Mount Yu Sect, Lu Qingfeng sent out the clones he had refined over the years to go to the East Sinking Continent, East Submerging Continent, and East Aspect Continent respectively.
One of the clones, who came from the East Sinking Continent, took the name 'He Shan' and entered the Bloodspring Demon Sect Ghost-Cry Maze branch.
Certainly.
The clone had already been secretly sent into the Blood Sea by Lu Qingfeng and was now cultivating the "Blood Sea True Scripture." The one sitting in the Ghost-Cry Maze was actually Lu Qingfeng's true body.
"The Blood Sea True Scripture".
"His body transformed into an endless Blood Sea."
"Under normal circumstances, the Blood Sea is vast. Even if I had Miaofa, it would take countless millennia of water dripping through stone for me to refine the Blood Sea, merge with the Blood Sea, and then become one with it and control Blood Sea."
"But nowadays..."
"Taking advantage of the schemes of these two Bloodspring Ancestors, and the great fortuitous opportunity presented by the upheaval of heaven and earth and the collapse of the Blood Sea, we have a chance to seize it!"
Lu Qingfeng emptied his mind, focusing most of his mental energy on his Blood-Sea Doppelganger.
Luofu and his clones all sought out secluded places for cultivation, but in reality, they were in a daze.
In this way.
The Blood Sea True Scripture was operating wildly.
Long before joining the Bloodspring Demon Sect and setting up the Abyss-Suppressing Grand Formation for the Venerable Ten Thousand Evils, relying on his rare array skills to discover the Bloodspring Demon Sect's plot, the clone 'He Shan' began to study the Blood Sea True Scripture.
More than two hundred years.
With the help of the Bloodspring in the Ghost-Cry Maze, they had already gained some influence. After the completion of the Abyss-Suppressing Grand Formation, relying on the various contingency plans left behind, they could freely travel to and from the Blood Sea. By cultivating in the Blood Sea, their mastery of this technique had advanced by leaps and bounds.
In a short period of time.
Then one achieves the Golden Core Realm.
A Blood Pill resides in the Dantian.
Boom!
The man was in the Blood Sea when his body exploded and merged into the Blood Sea.
Boom!
The Golden Core rose and fell, and then exploded.
The Law Power swept in, merging into the Blood Sea. Even the divine soul sank in along with it.
In a short time.
The Blood Sea is like you and me, seemingly one.
Instantly, boundless malevolent energy surged forth.
Countless thoughts surged forth, the inviolable will of the vast sea of the Blood Sea washing over Lu Qingfeng's insignificant will.
Lu Qingfeng dared not slack off.
Stay true to yourself.
The True Intention of the Blood Sea True Scripture flows within my heart, and my true self in the Ghost-Cry Maze and even my true self in the Illusory Wave Sea outside of the Primordial World are all silently reciting the Yellow Court.
The resounding tones of the great bell echoed throughout.
Wave after wave of endless impacts came crashing down.
Lu Qingfeng remained unmoved.
While silently reciting the Yellow Court, one maintains the circulation of the Blood Sea True Scripture, a method that allows the body to merge with the Blood Sea during circulation.
In the Blood Sea.
Entangled in endless sins.
It quickly corrupted that clone, filling it with Blood Qi, sin, and filth. Even following the Unseen connection, it surged towards Lu Qingfeng.
It wasn't so turbulent, more like a gentle stream.
But even a trickle of water is nothing compared to the Blood Sea. Even Mahayana True Immortal wouldn't dare to accept it, let alone Lu Qingfeng, a mere newly Primordial Spirit.
In an instant.
A surge of blood-red waves, seemingly from the Unseen, surged toward Lu Qingfeng's soul. In the next instant, it was about to engulf his sea of consciousness and submerge his soul.
"The Dutian Demon God!"
Lu Qingfeng, however, remained calm.
With a thought, the twelve Dutian Demon Gods manifested their forms in the sea of consciousness.
Within Lu Qingfeng's sea of consciousness, eighteen divine thoughts surrounded his towering divine soul at its center. This was what Lu Qingfeng had gained through thirty to forty years of cultivation after advancing to the Primordial Spirit.
A divine soul, standing three zhang and six chi tall, stood in the sea of consciousness.
Within the sea of consciousness.
Like a great river bursting its banks, endless waves of blood, mixed with malevolent energy, surge forth, staining the sea of consciousness crimson. If this cannot be resolved, one will surely fall into the Blood Sea along with the clone, sinking into eternal damnation.
"Simply using the External Incarnation Method, and thinking that one can possess Blood-Sea Doppelganger at the mere primordial Primordial Spirit Realm is truly wishful thinking."
Lu Qingfeng's mind raced, and he knew the danger involved.
However, this applies to ordinary cultivators.
He won't rely solely on the Great Divine Ability of 'External Incarnation' to conquer the Blood Sea.
"Swallow!"
A single thought can cause a turmoil.
Then, twelve Dutian Demon Gods surrounded the divine soul.
They opened their mouths wide and devoured the Blood Sea that surged forth like a burst dam.
The Blood Sea that surged from the vast void transformed into twelve mighty rivers, all of which fell into the mouths of the Twelve Demon Gods. This was the demon among demons, and the "Twelve Dutian Demon God Method" was Supreme Grade method, possessing infinite mysteries.
Boom!
After being swallowed, its belly rumbled.
It was refined in an instant.
It transformed into boundless Law Power, remaining completely untainted by the aura of the Blood Sea.
This refinement contains malevolence, Resentment Qi, and all sorts of negative energy, but it does not contain sin.
Sin!
Being entangled in something is one's occupation.
And Karmic Power—
"Yellow Court Scripture)."
"Karmic Power Erasure!"
Lu Qingfeng silently recited the Yellow Court, and endless sins vanished into nothingness.
Not a speck of it touched them.
But this Blood Sea is boundless, and the sins are endless.
The characteristic of 'Karmic Power Erasure,' which had remained unchanged for seventeen lifetimes, seemed to be changing at this moment. Karmic Power, which I had never experienced or seen before, suddenly seemed to become tangible and within reach.
"This is--"
Lu Qingfeng noticed this, and his eyes immediately flashed with a bright light. In an instant, a joy far greater than the joy of being about to merge into the Blood Sea struck him, leaving Lu Qingfeng stunned and speechless.
