In the past two-odd months, far too many Sacred Seeds had died at the hands of this Sacred Seed Bane. It was said that the strength of his Sacred Nature had already surpassed imagination, reaching a degree that eclipsed all past and present. That was a Sacred Nature that should never have appeared in this world at all. No Sacred Seed could avoid being suppressed by such Sacred Nature, and once their Sacred Nature was suppressed, the strength they could bring to bear would inevitably be greatly affected. The harsher the suppression, the more their strength would be restricted. With their cultivation and power at this level, any slight loss of strength in a life-and-death battle was fatal.
Suppressed by such overwhelming Sacred Nature, their strength would generally fall by twenty to thirty percent. How were they supposed to fight?
So the moment they realized this place was actually a trap, all the Sacred Seeds began to flee.
Without prior agreement, they all chose the same direction—the entrance to the Blood Pool at the summit of Jade Pillar Peak!
This was the correct choice, and also the instinctive one. The Human Race's powerhouses had already surrounded Jade Pillar Peak. No matter which direction they tried to break out from, they would be intercepted, so the Blood Pool entrance became their only option.
In an instant, more than twenty figures pounced toward the Blood Pool. Yet they had only just drawn near when they saw a scene that filled them with utter horror.
A figure abruptly appeared beside the Blood Pool, standing tall and straight, one hand resting on his saber. Though he was alone, he had the bearing of one man holding the pass against ten thousand!
"It's him!" a Sacred Seed cried out, his expression suddenly thrown into panic.
