Making Plans

By comparison, the Bloodfall Continent was different. Although the Top-tier Universe Overlord Sky Erosion Palace Lord was stationed outside it, he couldn't constantly monitor what was happening within the Bloodfall Continent. That gave Gulanxiu far more room to maneuver.

Thinking this, Gulanxiu cut open his arm once more and inserted another Bloodfall Crystal. Sure enough, the result was the same as before.

A flash of green light passed over the seed, and the Bloodfall Crystal, brimming with an aura of slaughter, vanished without a trace.

Not far away, Qila'angsi's mouth fell open in astonishment!

Though it was a ferocious beast, it knew how difficult it was for humans to fuse with Bloodfall Crystals. Yet its master was fusing with them so effortlessly. It couldn't help but be amazed.

Of course, with its soul under control, it genuinely worshipped its master. The stronger its master became, the happier it was.

The mysterious seed had now devoured all the energy in the Bloodfall Crystal. Gulanxiu opened his eyes and said to Qila'angsi, "Qila'angsi! Do you know how to get your hands on Bloodfall Crystals?"

Qila'angsi hurriedly asked, "Master! How many Bloodfall Crystals do you need?"

Gulanxiu thought for a moment. "At least a hundred. The more, the better."

Qila'angsi furrowed its brow and pondered for a while. "Master! This might be difficult! The Bloodfall Crystals I had before were all given to me by Lord Zhalisi, the World-Class Golden Armor Dragon at the center of the grassland. He did say I could go to him if I ran short, but I've heard the other dragons say that Lord Zhalisi only gives out one or two extra at a time. That's nowhere near enough for your needs, Master."

Gulanxiu's eyes lit up. "Does Zhalisi have a lot of Bloodfall Crystals?"

Qila'angsi nodded. "Yes, Master! I don't know how many Bloodfall Crystals Lord Zhalisi has, but I'd estimate he has at least a hundred. He gave all the Bloodfall Crystals used for cultivation to us twelve Domain Lord-level Golden Armor Dragons!"

Gulanxiu nodded. "Then where did he get his Bloodfall Crystals?"

"From the Immortal Temple, of course. The method for making Bloodfall Crystals comes from the Immortal Temple, and only they can produce them in vast quantities. Several of our Golden Armored Dragon Clan's ancestors became Immortals and hold positions of some influence in the Immortal Temple, so our clan has never been short of Bloodfall Crystals."

Gulanxiu nodded, then said to Qila'angsi, "Go kill Zhalisi, then bring me his Bloodfall Crystals!"

At Gulanxiu's words, Qila'angsi froze. Its expression was extremely strange, as if a lackey had just been ordered to eliminate the Tang monk and his disciples. Still, as Gulanxiu's Soul Slave, it would never question its master's orders from the bottom of its heart.

So it immediately answered, "Yes, Master!"

Gulanxiu smiled. "Don't worry. I'm not sending you to your death. This is an E9-Class Laser Gun. It only takes 0.1 seconds to charge. Use it against Zhalisi, and he won't stand a chance."

As he spoke, Gulanxiu handed Qila'angsi a Laser Gun over a meter long, shaped like a bent metal rod, and taught it how to use it.

This E9-Class Laser Gun was a weapon Gulanxiu had specifically prepared for the Bloodfall World mission. It had cost him a full five thousand points, but it was well worth it. The vast majority of Realm Lords couldn't withstand even one shot.

In fact, Gulanxiu's spaceship was also equipped with two E9-Class Laser Cannons. But Laser Cannons were different from Laser Guns. Though they consumed about the same amount of energy, their power was worlds apart.

Laser Cannon attacks covered a larger, more dispersed area, making it difficult to inflict serious damage on a ninth-level Realm Lord.

They also took longer to charge, and once the target was prepared, it was difficult to hit them.

Generally speaking, among technological weapons of the same grade, the smaller the weapon, the higher its price. Gulanxiu could only buy one with points because he was a Core Member of the Axe Fighting Arena.

Without the right connections, this kind of high-end weapon was impossible to buy on the open market. Even if one occasionally turned up, it would sell for several times its value.

In the original story, Luo Feng had relied on a Mechanical Race spaceship and three clones taking turns to defend himself when he was ambushed during the Demon Mountain Mission. Even then, he'd barely managed to hold out. Gulanxiu didn't believe a native Realm Lord could withstand an attack.

Using technological weapons on the Bloodfall Continent risked exposing himself, but it was still better than hunting Domain Lords in large numbers himself! Besides, Gulanxiu was having a servant use the E9-Class Laser Gun, which made him even less likely to be exposed.

After all, a large number of Domain Lord deaths would surely attract the Immortal Temple's attention. By comparison, killing just a few Realm Lords was safer.

In the original story, Luo Feng had hunted large numbers of Domain Lords using the Demon-Slaying Race's special abilities, and he could even abandon his Demon-Slaying Race clone if necessary. Gulanxiu had no such ability, so it was naturally better for him to play it safe.

Qila'angsi took the Laser Gun with an excited look and flattered him with a grin. "Master, you're incredible! You managed to get your hands on such a powerful weapon. Don't worry, Master! With this Laser Gun, I'll definitely be able to kill Zhalisi!"

Gulanxiu smiled. "Then go! Remember, don't let anyone see you using this Laser Gun. If someone does find out, you must kill them. Understand?"

Qila'angsi nodded. "Understood, Master! Don't worry. I'll get it done." Then it took off into the air and flew toward the center of the grassland.

Watching Qila'angsi disappear into the distance, Gulanxiu murmured to himself, "I hope you succeed. Without the Laser Gun, getting Bloodfall Crystals will be much harder for me."

Half a day later, in a valley at the center of the Blood Spirit Grassland, a golden armored dragon over a hundred meters long suddenly woke from its slumber and looked toward the valley entrance in confusion.

It called out loudly, "Qila'angsi? Why aren't you cultivating in your own territory? What are you doing here?"

Qila'angsi hurriedly replied, "Honored Lord Zhalisi! My cultivation has recently improved, and I've fused with two more Bloodfall Crystals. I'm out of extra Bloodfall Crystals now, so I've come to ask you for more!"

At Qila'angsi's words, a trace of doubt flashed in Zhalisi's eyes. Given Qila'angsi's talent, he didn't think it could have fused with another two Bloodfall Crystals so quickly.

But then he thought it over. Qila'angsi had no reason to lie to him, and he could easily check whether it was true. So he raised his head and said, "Come over."

Qila'angsi hurriedly replied, "Thank you, Lord Zhalisi!"

Then it quickly flew into the valley and landed. It glanced around, saw that Zhalisi was the only beast there, and couldn't help showing a look of delight.

Zhalisi placed one of his foreclaws on Qila'angsi, then said, "Activate your secret patterns and let me examine you. If what you said is true, I'll give you Bloodfall Crystals!"
