Great Harvest

"Blood Warrior!" Gulanxiu sighed inwardly, then instantly transformed into a hundred illusory bodies charging toward the dense baleful qi.

Yes! Gulanxiu had no intention of continuing to fight this Bullhead. From their earlier clash, he could tell that the Bullhead's law comprehension was not weak—roughly at the fourth level of the Sky Bridge. Though inferior to Gulanxiu, the gap was not large. Coupled with his Realm Lord third-stage foundation and the Blood Warrior's threefold boost, even with Stim's enhancement, Gulanxiu was no match.

Moreover, the Ancient God Ruins were filled with countless experts. Gulanxiu would not easily use the Laser Gun here. Its commotion was considerable, and if it attracted knowledgeable members of the Immortal Temple, exposing his identity as an outsider, he would have no choice but to flee by spaceship.

Leaving the Bloodfall Continent was easy, but returning would be difficult. Having discovered that Bloodfall Crystals were beneficial to him, he naturally wanted to gather as many as possible—ideally enough to elevate the Green Bud once more.

There was no denying that Space Law held an advantage in speed, especially in instantaneous acceleration. Even as a Realm Lord, the Bullhead could not match Gulanxiu in that regard.

Once the Bullhead built up speed, Gulanxiu flickered and changed direction, once again leaving him several miles behind.

Moments later, watching Gulanxiu plunge into the Baleful Qi Vortex, the Bullhead stopped helplessly and sighed. "Where did that freak come from? A Domain Lord ninth stage, yet he's cultivated Space Law to such a level. I cultivate Earth Law—my absolute speed is faster, but far less agile. And he doesn't seem afraid of baleful qi at all. That vortex's baleful concentration just now—I wouldn't dare enter it lightly. He didn't even hesitate, not worried about turning into a Blood Demon and wishing he were dead!"

Gulanxiu naturally did not hear the Bullhead's lament. By now, he had found the location corresponding to Liu Qingyuan's map. He had to admit his luck was good—the environment here had remained unchanged for millennia.

Following the map's guidance, Gulanxiu headed toward the marked location of the Immortal Corpse!

As he advanced, the surrounding baleful qi grew denser, visibility dropping steadily. After about a day's travel, Gulanxiu finally arrived at the edge of a canyon.

The canyon was about ten meters wide, but its ends stretched beyond sight, as if the earth had been split by a single crack.

Following Liu Qingyuan's markings, Gulanxiu searched for two hours before finally finding the spot described. Vaguely, he could see a half-kneeling corpse at the bottom of the canyon!

It was a middle-aged man, completely naked, with long blood-red hair. His features were very similar to those of Earth humans.

Clearly, the man's clothes had completely weathered away over endless years, leaving only his divine body in this world.

Seeing the unclothed man, Gulanxiu finally understood why Liu Qingyuan's expression had been so strange!

It was precisely because of the man's nakedness that Liu Qingyuan and Gulanxiu could confirm he was a native Immortal of the Bloodfall Continent. After all, Immortals from beyond the heavens all wore Force Battle Suits.

The man knelt in a half-crouch at the canyon's bottom, a blood-red longsword propping up his body.

Even after countless years, the man still looked lifelike. If Gulanxiu hadn't sensed no aura at all, he might have thought the man was still alive!

The closer Gulanxiu got to the canyon's edge, the denser the baleful qi became. Without the protection of the Green Bud, he likely could not have reached this place!

Gulanxiu descended into the canyon. Suddenly, through his Heavenly Eye's perspective, he spotted another man at the bottom—also with blood-red long hair, wielding a long blade. This man seemed to be the corpse's guardian, his back against the cliff wall, facing the dead Immortal.

As if sensing Gulanxiu's arrival, the man abruptly looked up at him.

His eyes were completely blood-red, filled with killing intent and madness. The moment he saw Gulanxiu, without any hesitation, he flew toward him, his blood-red long blade swinging out to cut Gulanxiu down!

Fortunately, this man's strength was not too great—roughly at the Domain Lord sixth or seventh stage. Gulanxiu swung his axe horizontally, striking the man's blade.

With a thunderous boom, the man's blade shattered, and his body was cleaved in two by Gulanxiu's axe.

Yet the man did not die immediately. His severed upper half actually brandished the broken blade and charged at Gulanxiu again.

"Blood Demon!" Gulanxiu sighed inwardly. He now recognized the man's condition. Clearly, the baleful qi had completely driven him mad, turning him into a mindless killing monster.

That was why, despite the gap in rank, he had dared to attack Gulanxiu first. Normally, a Domain Lord sixth stage and a Domain Lord ninth stage had an eightfold difference in foundation—only extraordinary geniuses could fight above their level.

Blood Demons instinctively gravitated toward areas of heavy baleful qi. This Immortal Corpse had been shrouded in dense baleful qi for ages, so attracting a Blood Demon was hardly surprising!

Gulanxiu's eyes were filled with sympathy as he looked at the Blood Demon, but his axe showed no mercy as it swung toward him. For a Blood Demon, death was perhaps liberation.

Another boom! The Blood Demon's entire upper body shattered, and even the Core Nucleus hidden in his head was split in two by Gulanxiu's axe. The Blood Demon's spatial ring also burst open, scattering its contents across the ground.

Gulanxiu quickly gathered everything. Among these items, the most useful to him were the two Bloodfall Crystals. The rest were miscellaneous and of little value.

After collecting the items, Gulanxiu finally approached the Immortal Corpse. After a brief inspection, he discovered that this Immortal God had stored his spatial equipment inside the blood-red longsword.

Gulanxiu infused his force to open the spatial equipment. The space was about a kilometer square, neatly arranged with various items—rare ores, forged weapons, World Crystals, Immortal Crystals, and so on.

Of course, Gulanxiu cared little for these. What truly caught his attention was the pile of Bloodfall Crystals stacked in a corner.

Bloodfall Crystals were essentially the universal currency among the high-ranking figures of the Bloodfall Continent. As an Immortal God, this man naturally had a considerable collection. Gulanxiu took a rough count and found over five thousand crystals, which made him grin with delight.

Gulanxiu waved his hand, storing the Immortal Corpse away, and sent a message to Qila'angsi in Danyang City. Since Liu Qingyuan had not deceived him, Gulanxiu would naturally keep his word. Though he had made no promise to Liu Qingyuan, he had made one to himself!
