At this point, as he cultivated the Soul Fusion Method and Soul Tempering Method further, Lu Xiaotian increasingly felt that his blood-qi power was holding him back to some extent. Once he broke through in body cultivation, his combat strength would rise by a considerable margin.
After putting away the spiritual items, Lu Xiaotian suddenly glanced toward the distant blood mist. A vast demonic power that even made his heart tremble seemed to be awakening. It was like an unparalleled vicious beast—just the instant it opened its eyes was enough to make the air terrifying.
"This place isn't suitable for staying long." The moment he sensed that aura, this thought rose in Lu Xiaotian's mind. He immediately drew the Lotus Avatar into his body and began returning along the route he had taken to get there.
However, on the way back, Lu Xiaotian discovered that the blood mist around him had grown increasingly dense. The distance visible to the naked eye and detectable by divine sense had shrunk drastically. Even with Lu Xiaotian's Primordial Spirit, his detection range had been compressed to less than fifty miles. With his naked eyes, he could only see things within a few miles—and even then, only a blurry shadow.
Compared with the outside world, this was practically equivalent to being blind.
The Tashi Tiger tribe was not very numerous, yet its influence in this Demon Sea had grown increasingly secure. It seemed to have a deep connection with this Blood Nether Valley. Body cultivators indeed held quite an advantage in such an environment.
Thinking of the powerful aura that had appeared earlier, Lu Xiaotian felt somewhat uneasy. Ever since that aura had emerged, the blood mist around him seemed to have changed. He did not know whether he could still leave Blood Nether Valley
