Whew~!
Li Su was breathing steadily.
After gathering everything up, he did not linger. He swiftly left, running toward the mountain forests.
He did not devour all thirty-four dharma artifacts in one go, instead storing them away as emergency rations.
Nor did Li Su eat the Blood Tai Sui. Once its medicinal effects kicked in, he would only grow hungry faster.
After putting everything away, he went over to the remains of the Blood Pattern Palace disciple he had killed. Sure enough, he found two dharma artifacts on the body. There had originally been three, but the third had shattered along with its owner when Li Su beat him to death, mingling with the flesh and blood. That was why he had nearly thought he wanted to eat people.
For now, he intended to lie low. The requirements for the third awakening were simply too damn brutal; at his current level of strength, it clearly wasn't safe enough.
So, he needed to raise his strength a little.
Simply put, he needed to cultivate True Astral Force. Once he did, things would undoubtedly become much more convenient.

To righteous cultivators, heretics and demon cultivators were difficult to deal with, troublesome, and terrible.
But when you yourself were a heretic or demon cultivator, you discovered that facing the righteous path was even more
