----Half a year later, in the Cangwu Desert.
The half-year was up. The Dust-Sand Building Wood exuded a blood-red aura that shot into the sky, signaling that the Blood Bead had successfully formed.
A blood-red orb of light appeared, brimming with an incredibly dense bloodlust. The Desolate Sun-Swallowing Demon caught it in his hand.

Gu Changfeng raised a hand and produced the Heart of the Building Wood. After confirming it was genuine, the Primordial Desert-Splitting Viper said, "Human, return the Heart of the Building Wood, and the Blood Bead is yours!"

"Heh, what a joke. Since when do Soul Beasts keep their word
