The Bloodfall Continent was different. Although a top-tier cosmic overlord like the Sky Erosion Palace Lord stood guard outside Bloodfall Continent, he could not monitor every change within it at all times, giving Gulanxiu far more room to maneuver.

Thinking this, Gulanxiu once again sliced open his arm and pressed another Bloodfall Crystal into the wound. The result was the same as before.

A flash of green light flickered on that seed, and the Bloodfall Crystal, brimming with killing intent, vanished without a trace.

Not far away, Qila'angsi's jaw dropped in shock!

Though he was a beast, he knew how difficult it was for humans to fuse Bloodfall Crystals. Yet watching his master do it so effortlessly stunned him.

Of course, as one whose soul was controlled, he now worshipped his master from the bottom of his heart. The stronger his master became, the happier he was.

At that moment, the mysterious seed had already devoured all the energy of the Bloodfall Crystal. Gulanxiu opened his eyes and said to Qila'angsi, "Qila'angsi! Do you know how to get more Bloodfall Crystals?"

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

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

Qila'angsi frowned, pondered for a while, and replied, "Master! That's a bit difficult! The Bloodfall Crystals I had before were all given by Lord Zhalisi, the World-Class Golden Armor Dragon at the center of the grassland. He did say I could come to him if I ran out! But I've heard from other dragons that Lord Zhalisi only ever gives one or two extra at a time. That's far too few for your needs."

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

Qila'angsi nodded. "Yes, Master! I don't know exactly how many Lord Zhalisi has, but I estimate he has at least a hundred. The Bloodfall Crystals used by us twelve Domain Lord-level Golden Armor Dragons all come from him!"

Gulanxiu nodded and asked, "Then where does he get his Bloodfall Crystals?"

Qila'angsi replied, "From the Immortal Temple, of course. The method for making Bloodfall Crystals originates from the Immortal Temple, and only they can produce them in massive quantities. A few of our Golden Armor Dragon ancestors broke through to immortality and hold some status in the Immortal Temple, so our clan has always had a generous supply of Bloodfall Crystals."

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

Qila'angsi was stunned by Gulanxiu's words, his expression twisting into something very strange—like a lowly goblin receiving orders to eliminate the Tang Monk and his disciples. But as Gulanxiu's soul slave, he never questioned his master's commands from the bottom of his heart.

So he immediately answered, "Yes, Master!"

Gulanxiu smiled and said, "Don't worry! I'm not sending you to your death. This is an E9-Class Laser Gun. It only needs 0.1 seconds to charge. Use this to fight Zhalisi—he definitely won't be able to withstand it."

With that, Gulanxiu handed Qila'angsi a laser gun shaped like a bent iron rod over a meter long and taught him how to use it.

This E9-Class Laser Gun was a weapon Gulanxiu had specially prepared for the Bloodfall World mission. It had cost him a full five thousand points, but the effect was ideal—most Realm Lords couldn't survive a single shot.

In fact, Gulanxiu's spaceship was also equipped with two E9-Class Laser Cannons, but laser cannons were different from laser guns. Though their energy consumption was similar, their power was worlds apart.

Laser cannons had a larger attack range but were more dispersed, making it hard to deal significant damage to a ninth-level Realm Lord.

Moreover, laser cannons took a long time to charge, and if the target was prepared, they were difficult to hit.

Generally speaking, for the same level of technological weaponry, the smaller the size, the higher the price. Gulanxiu could only buy them with points because he was a core member of the Axe Fighting Arena.

Without such channels in the outside world, it was impossible to get these high-grade items. Even if a few occasionally leaked onto the market, they would cost several times the normal price.

In the original story, Luo Feng survived an assassination attempt during the Demon Mountain mission only by relying on his mechanical race spaceship and three avatars taking turns to resist. Gulanxiu didn't believe a native Realm Lord could withstand it.

Though using technological weapons on the Bloodfall Continent carried the risk of exposure, it was still better than Gulanxiu personally hunting down large numbers of Domain Lords! And since Gulanxiu was having his slave use the E9-Class Laser Gun, he was even less afraid of exposure.

After all, a large-scale die-off of Domain Lords would definitely attract the Immortal Temple's attention. Killing a few Realm Lords here and there was actually safer.

In the original story, Luo Feng relied on the special abilities of the Demon Kill race to hunt large numbers of Domain Lords, and he could even abandon his Demon Kill avatar if necessary. Gulanxiu didn't have that ability, so it was better to play it safe.

Qila'angsi took the laser gun with an excited expression and flattered with a smile, "Master is truly amazing, to obtain such a powerful weapon! Rest assured, Master! With this laser gun, I will definitely be able to kill Zhalisi!"

Gulanxiu smiled and said, "Then go! Remember, don't let anyone else see you using this laser gun. If someone does discover it, you must kill them, understand?"

Qila'angsi nodded. "Understood, Master! Don't worry! I'll get it done." With that, he soared into the air and flew toward the center of the grassland.

Gulanxiu watched Qila'angsi's retreating figure and murmured to himself, "I hope you succeed. If I lose the laser gun, getting Bloodfall Crystals in the future will be much harder."

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, its gaze suspicious as it looked outside the valley.

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

Qila'angsi quickly replied, "Honorable Lord Zhalisi! I've recently made progress in my cultivation and fused two more Bloodfall Crystals. I've run out now, so I've come back to request more from you!"

Hearing Qila'angsi's words, Zhalisi's eyes flickered with doubt. In his view, given Qila'angsi's talent, he shouldn't have been able to fuse two more Bloodfall Crystals so quickly.

But on second thought, Qila'angsi had no reason to lie to him, and he could verify it easily. So he raised his head and said, "Come here!"

Qila'angsi quickly said, "Thank you, Lord Zhalisi!"

With that, he swiftly flew into the valley and landed. Glancing around, he saw that only Zhalisi was there, and a hint of joy appeared on his face.

Zhalisi placed one of his front claws on Qila'angsi's body and said to him, "Now activate your secret patterns and let me examine you. If what you say is true, I'll give you the Bloodfall Crystals."
