Heaven-Sent Blood Rain (Seeking Support)

Read on, little whispers. And invest, little whispers.

Blood Spirit Ruins

A thick miasma of blood energy, mixed with Evil Qi, swirled within the Pond.

Faint, low, and grating sounds emanated from it, indistinguishable.

Su Qingqiu plunged into the Pond, circling it. Apart from finding more blood-red tumors clinging to the rock walls surrounding the Pond, he discovered nothing else.

"Strange!"

"Why can't I enter?"

Unable to find an entrance to the Spirit Void, Su Qingqiu, holding the Spirit Void Order he had obtained, fell into deep thought.

Memories about the Spirit Ruins from Puzhi's mind began to surface...

Su Qingqiu stared intently at the token in his hand, a sense of sudden realization dawning upon him. He seemed to have misunderstood what the Spirit Ruins truly were.

A colossal snake's body coiled at the entrance of the Blood Spirit Ruins. A portion of Spiritual Light's will was poured into the Spirit Void Order. Subsequently, the palm-sized Spirit Void Order erupted with brilliant radiance, carrying a part of Su Qingqiu's Spiritual Light will, and plunged headfirst into the convergence point of the two Eight Extraordinary Meridians.

The next second...

Countless fragmented pieces of information flooded in.

Spirit Ruins, as the name suggests, are illusory realms formed by Spiritual Light will.

Only Spiritual Light can enter.

The Spirit Ruins within the Snake Abyss are formed from the convergence nodes of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians of the Si Snake's bones, containing the Si Snake's residual Spiritual Light and will.

Only the Spirit Void Order crafted from the Si Snake's scales can grant entry into these peculiar spaces composed of Spiritual Light will.

In the past, when the Dragon-Raising Temple was at its peak, many Spirit Void Orders were crafted, allowing Cultivators' Spiritual Sense to enter the Spirit Ruins, temper their Daoism Cultivation will, and incidentally slay the Demons gestating within, preventing the Spirit Ruins and the Eight Extraordinary Meridians from being completely polluted.

Alas, the world changes. Three hundred years later, the Snake Abyss had long been sealed. Without Cultivators to temper their will here, even Spiritual Snakes became scarce. These Spirit Ruins were left to develop unchecked until the present day.

Like the Blood Spirit Ruins before him, they seemed to have been completely polluted by Evil Qi. The polluting force was even spreading outwards along those two Eight Extraordinary Meridians.

If left unchecked, in a hundred years, this place would undoubtedly transform into a bloody Devil's den. At that time, Demons would crawl out of the Blood Spirit Ruins, wreaking havoc in the Snake Abyss, adding to the sin.

Thinking about it, the reason the second layer of the Snake Abyss had become the demon-infested state it was now was likely due to the complete pollution of certain powerful Spirit Ruins, leading to Demons flowing out.

After a moment of disorientation, streams of information entered Su Qingqiu's Spiritual Light will.

These were fragments of memories contained within the Si Snake's residual Spiritual Light will.

--The time is lost to history. In the distant past, something from beyond the heavens battled in the firmament. Its blood spilled onto the earth, forming countless Blood Demons.

The Blood Demons were formless and invisible, feeding on human blood and devouring souls. The vast land was instantly awash with blood, littered with white bones.

At that time, a very powerful Blood Demon was encountered by a Si Snake. After a fierce battle, it was strangled and devoured by the Si Snake. However, the Devilish Nature of the Blood Demon was difficult to completely eradicate. After the Si Snake's death, the Blood Demon's Devilish Nature slowly revived, eventually developing into the current state of the Blood Spirit Ruins.

If not for the suppression by the Si Snake's residual Spiritual Light will, this wisp of Blood Demon's Devilish Nature might have fully awakened and descended upon the world.

"So that's the origin of the Blood Spirit Ruins. It's actually related to ancient Demons."

Su Qingqiu was secretly astonished.

His wisp of Spiritual Light had transformed into the appearance of a small Spiritual Snake. At this very moment, it was staring intently at the blood-red space before it.

This Blood Spirit Ruins was not large, about a hundred meters in diameter, entirely blood-red. Even the air was permeated with scarlet Devilish Qi.

At the very center stood a mirror, over three meters tall and two meters wide.

Other than that, there was nothing else.

"Strange! Where is that wisp of Blood Demon's Devilish Nature? Has it not yet formed? Why is there a mirror here?"

Su Qingqiu frowned.

He knew that within the Spirit Ruins, due to the prolonged conflict between the Si Snake's Spiritual Light will and various Evil Qi, it was possible for strange and rare evil entities to coalesce under opportune circumstances.

For example, a comb that constantly dripped blood.

A pair of red embroidered shoes that guaranteed death upon wearing.

An umbrella that couldn't block the rain.

And so on.

To him, these were all excellent sources of food. The rewards obtained after devouring them were significantly better than devouring ordinary Evil Remains.

However, the mirror before him, apart from being made entirely of crystal and thus quite precious, seemed to have no special properties.

Puzzled, Su Qingqiu circled the Blood Spirit Ruins again, still finding nothing.

"Could it be that the wisp of Devilish Nature has already escaped?"

Thinking this, Su Qingqiu drifted towards the mirror once more.

A moment later, he discovered something amiss.

The small snake phantom that originally reflected in the mirror was now writhing under his gaze, then it bared its huge mouth at Su Qingqiu.

It looked like it was laughing!

"Laugh my ass!"

BOOM!

Spiritual Light transformed into a snake tail, floating in the void, and lashed out.

The entire Blood Spirit Ruins space trembled.

No matter what you are, I'll beat you first.

However, to his astonishment, the mirror, despite being made of ordinary crystal, could withstand Su Qingqiu's tail attack. It was incredible.

BANG BANG BANG~

Several attacks in a row were still ineffective.

Looking again at the snake in the mirror, its mouth grew wider and wider, and its mouth was filled with dense fangs, as if it were about to swallow the Su Qingqiu outside.

At this moment, Su Qingqiu's wisp of Spiritual Light will even felt like it was inside the mouth of some giant creature, with its Spiritual Light rapidly draining away.

Red Fire

Dragon Ridge

Spiritual Light

None of them worked.

All sorts of sorcery, a thousand tools, were useless here.

All ineffective!

Visible, but intangible!

Is this the Demon in the Blood Spirit Ruins? What exactly has this thing nurtured?

Such a bizarre Demon was unheard of, unseen. Even Su Qingqiu, known as the nemesis of Demon, was for a time... helpless...

Just a Monster!

"You're dead, yet you still want to revive and cause trouble! I'll send you on your way today, and you'll turn to ashes soon!"

Su Qingqiu's entire body of Spiritual Light bloomed, and in the Blood Spirit Ruins space, a giant Spiritual Snake phantom materialized.

At the same time, Su Qingqiu's massive body outside also rose to its feet, its movements almost perfectly synchronized with the small Spiritual Snake formed by the Spiritual Light will inside.

The Spiritual Light will bit down on the mirror, I swallow!

The Spiritual Snake's true form bit down on the node where the Eight Extraordinary Meridians intersected. I absorb!

Using the Spiritual Light will inside as a coordinate, locking onto the Blood Spirit Ruins, and forcefully devouring it. Red Fire burned fiercely, Spiritual Light spread.

Refining madly.

If I can't beat you from the inside, can't I just swallow you from the outside?

I'll tear down your whole house!

He had planned this long ago, which was why he only sent a small portion of his Spiritual Light will inside.

Only a fool would commit all their Spiritual Light to it.

BOOM!

The entire Blood Spirit Ruins space shook, and Su Qingqiu felt large amounts of viscous, strange blood being sucked into his abdomen from the Spirit Ruins node he had bitten.

Sweet, fragrant.

With each mouthful, every inch of his bones and marrow boiled with vitality.

This blood was as effective as countless bloodline body-tempering pills!

It was just too much blood, pouring in like a river, endless and ceaseless!

"Damn!"

"Is it my period, to be bleeding so much!"

Su Qingqiu's mind stirred, and his Reverse Scale, along with the Devil Pill hidden in his abdomen, began to absorb the blood frantically.

However, it was far from enough, the absorption rate was too slow, too slow!

Su Qingqiu's eyes rolled, and he unleashed a Major Rain Accumulation Technique. Using this blood as the source, the Spiritual Light transformed, and the world was instantly dyed scarlet.

In the autumn of the thirty-eighth year of Zhaoyang, on the third day of the ninth month, a bloody storm raged in the Dragon-Raising Temple. It was rumored that the imperial court had colluded with the Demon to attack the Holy Monastery, enraging the Buddha, and causing ill omens to descend from heaven.

For a time, the Great Wasteland region was filled with righteous indignation and public outcry.
