The rolling flames engulfed the Divine Lord Chishi's body like a tidal wave, while a pair of eyes within the flames shone even brighter. The figure, enveloped in flames, took a step forward, and thick crimson flames fell to the ground like an outer garment.
The young man turned around and coldly looked at a corpse burning in the flames. The desiccated body, with little moisture, quickly turned to ashes in the rolling flames!
The mountain range, reaching the sky, was barren except for weeds, but the blood energy emanating from it was extremely dense. In this strange space, apart from the absence of sun and moon, there seemed to be little danger.
Being inside Chi You Blood Cave at this moment, it's impossible to say it's not dangerous.
But now that we're already here, there's no turning back. Besides, we just observed that the seal cracks have all closed. We can only consider our next move after finding Chi You Essence Blood.
Youquan and the other Blood Alliance cultivators have spent countless efforts and must have long regarded this place as their own private domain. But now that he has barged in, conflicts and contradictions are inevitable.
That just depends on whose methods are more skillful!
The young man pursed his blood-red lips, his gaze sharpening as he headed towards the nearest mountain range. He had already sensed that the closer he got to his destination, the more pronounced his bloodline energy became.
With a flash, he disappeared into the distance. This space was formed from the Chi You Essence Blood, and naturally contained within it a vast amount of blood energy.
It seems the War Lord is truly a powerful figure; a single drop of his blood can create a space.
Because the Yellow Emperor used powerful methods to seal it away, this place has become a completely enclosed space.
The seal has withstood countless changes over millions of years without being damaged, allowing the ancient energy to remain to this day. Although the blood energy is so rich that it surges and spreads, it has never been able to break through the seal. In the endless years, the secret can only be hidden in the bloodline of future generations.
The high mountain was shrouded in gray. The further the young man went, the denser the weeds became. Upon closer inspection, he noticed that the surface of the grass blades was entirely withered and yellow.
The withered yellow weeds grew very lushly, a strange phenomenon occurring on this small hill.
As the young man drew closer to the mountain range, he discovered that there were indeed some strange things about this space. One after another, small hills rose and fell, and when viewed from afar, the small hills collided and piled up to form a large mountain range.
But no matter how far a person moves towards the mountain range, when they land again, they are always still on a small hill.
The young man had some doubts in his eyes. He had tried many times before, and the towering mountain range was right in front of him. With his Magic Power, it seemed that he could reach the foot of the mountain range in no time.
However, the current situation shows that this seemingly nearby mountain range is actually extremely far away, and even with our own strength, we cannot leap over it; it is probably beyond human reach.
Besides that, what made him most suspicious was that the fluctuating bloodline power within his body was becoming more and more obvious. The mountains reflected in his eyes were not far away, seemingly just a step away from the cultivator's feet, but it was this very step that had kept the young man trapped for a long time.
A silver screen-like substance had appeared over the gray sky, blurring the surrounding space intermittently. The towering mountains were now hidden in the blur, leaving cultivators with only small hilltops visible.
Under the hazy sky, everything seemed to have changed. The young man exhaled and lowered his eyelids.
Suddenly, his pupils contracted sharply as the withered weeds in front of him silently returned to their green color!
A hazy sky, a thick stench of blood, withered yellow weeds, low hills...
As I pondered these strange phenomena, several seemingly unrelated things flashed through my mind in an instant.
For some reason, the young man felt a sudden tremor in his heart, followed by a strong sense of alarm!
An unprovoked sense of unease instantly made the atmosphere heavy; in this unfamiliar environment, one always felt unsafe and uneasy.
The sky was now completely blurred, and the space, devoid of any distinction between day and night, also became indistinct. Gazing at the distant mountain peaks, the question remained: should one still go?
The doubts between their brows grew deeper and deeper. Although they did not sense any definite danger, these unusual phenomena were already making their hearts pound.
And in the hazy mountains, that peak that seems so close at hand makes one want to set foot there again.
The power of his bloodline was surging within him, and the mountains in his eyes seemed to be getting closer and closer. Under the blurry sky, the distance seemed to have shrunk countless times.
Although the situation ahead was unclear, a faint calling arose in my heart, as if I could find the inheritance in my bloodline if I took just one step.
The desire in his heart grew stronger, the illusions in his mind became more solidified, and the blood in his body became hotter. Feeling the rich blood energy and looking at the mountains that were so close at hand, the call in his heart grew louder and louder.
Just take one step, and you'll appear at the place where your bloodline is passed down!
A blood-red glint flashed in his pupils, and the young man's breathing became slightly rapid. The churning blood within him almost made him lose control. Gazing at the blurry scene before him, he wanted to rush forward.
Just as he lifted one foot, a thunderbolt flashed through his mind. He looked at the weeds at his feet, their striking green seemingly stretching to the horizon.
But the green underfoot remains unchanged, seemingly destined to turn withered and yellow only at some point in time.
It will only return to its withered state at some point!
A flicker of surprise crossed his eyes, and his raised foot seemed to have landed forever in the void.
The sky beneath the screen was a blur, yet the weeds in that blurry space were green. Where were the withered, yellow weeds I had seen earlier?
The distant mountain peaks were barely visible, while the weeds grew wildly and continuously.
If you follow the withered yellow weeds, you can reach the top of the mountain; but what if the weeds were green?
Will we forever be walking within this ambiguous space?
Keep walking, watching the mountain peaks draw ever closer, feeling the ever-growing call within your body, until death!
Looking at this blurry space, when I looked back, I could no longer find my way back in a sea of green.
Beneath the screen, all was deathly silent. Forcibly suppressing the surging blood within him, he retracted the foot he had just raised. He found himself somewhat disoriented in this desolate place.
The young man dared not imagine any further; it was simply absurd enough. There was no target for breaking the deadlock by force, and since things were already so bizarre, it was better to wait and see.
Ignoring the strange phenomena around him, he even forcibly suppressed the surging power of his bloodline.
His greatest takeaway from his spiritual journey was to always trust his intuition in the face of all temptations!
This blurry space was no longer safe to tread. The young man had tried many times, but he didn't know how far away the mountain range that seemed so close was.
If one cannot discern the path and follows the directions given by the summoning and bloodline power, one is likely to get lost in a wilderness!
Not all secret realms or spaces are treasure troves; danger and opportunity coexist within them. Cultivators are not omnipotent either. At least after learning about the strangeness of this space, the young man chose to wait.
Withered yellow weeds cover the mountains. Only by following the weeds to the top of the mountains when the grass is withered can one truly find the place where bloodlines are passed down. But now, if one's mind is confused, one will truly be lost in the green wilderness and completely lose one's consciousness.
Having figured this out, the young man abandoned his desire to explore further and simply stayed put, seemingly waiting quietly for the screen in the sky to close.
The surroundings were deathly silent. Under the blurry sky, nothing could be seen clearly. The lush grass completely surrounded the youth, and not even a breeze stirred. It was as if this place had been abandoned.
The call in your heart and the cry in your blood seem to grow stronger and stronger, making you feel at all times that a rich aura of blood is gathering before your eyes.
It's as if it's calling out in your ear: Come quickly, take a step forward, the inheritance and power you need are right before your eyes! Leave the wilderness beneath your feet, come to the true land of inheritance!
As the surrounding silence grew more pronounced, the calling within his heart intensified.
The young man had no choice but to focus more on calming his mind. He instinctively knew he couldn't take another step forward; danger seemed imminent!
Suddenly, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a green blade of grass twitch slightly in the deathly still space.
"Hold head high!"
With a flick of his sleeve and a glint of light in his eyes, the young man's lips curled into a disdainful smile. Before the tension could fully subside, two blood dragons shot forth from the hazy sky.
The blood dragon stirred up a foul wind, its long tail sweeping across its head and creating waves of energy. Suddenly, two powerful divine senses shot out from beneath the blurred sky.
boom!
Before anyone could react, the blood dragon twisted its body, its tail slamming into the air with tremendous force, creating a loud bang. The divine sense that had been circulating in the air instantly withdrew.
The blood dragon raised its head and circled once in the air. The young man looked at the blurry sky and finally smiled. His doubts were about to be resolved.
"By order of the War Lord, summon the Nine Li to join the battle!"
"By the command of my god, I summon the Eastern Yi tribes to join the war!"
Two deep, muffled voices rang out from above, as if they were being forced out of one's chest, their heavy, oppressive tone making it hard to breathe.
Before the person above could reveal their true form, their divine sense had already probed again, as if trying to thoroughly investigate the person below, completely disregarding the attack they had just suffered.
The young man squinted, gazing at the two figures in the blurry sky. A muffled voice boomed in his mind. He recalled all the people he had ever met, but this was the first time he had ever heard such an unpleasant voice.
No human figure appeared. The blood dragon in the air let out another roar, coiled its long body, and headed straight towards the center where the divine sense was emanating.
"Since you won't come out, then I'll ask you to come out!"
The long, blood-red dragon almost instantly enveloped the object in the air. The young man's gaze turned cold, and the dragon's coiled body instantly churned. Inside the body, a blurry object gradually shrank under the immense churning force, with a series of "crackling" sounds echoing from within.
Once the blood dragon had coiled up to a certain extent, it suddenly pulled itself up, its thick body standing tall under the sky like a pillar supporting the heavens. Its tail dragged up a lump of something, and with its body arched, it was about to slam it hard to the ground.
Boom!
A deafening roar echoed across the sky as the blood dragon's tail was shattered by two powerful Magic Power. Its long body split open in an instant, and the Magic Power the youth had condensed vanished without a trace.
A streak of blood was withdrawn into his sleeve, and the young man on the ground calmly watched the two exceptionally tall figures in the air.
The black armor covering his entire body was crudely made, barely covering his waist, abdomen, and shoulders. Beneath his disheveled hair, a ferocious face contorted his features.
His arms, like coiled dragons, were thicker than an ordinary man's thighs, and a thick iron belt was tied around his barrel-like waist. His legs were hidden in a cloud of indistinct black mist.
The two men wielded long bronze weapons, wore crude armor, and were probably nearly three meters tall. They were entirely black, with bronze masks on their faces.
The man glared angrily at the young man below, his long weapon already pointed at him, as if he would strike at the slightest movement.
A sense of shock flashed through the young man's mind as he stared intently at the two tall figures above him.
A tangible rage seemed to emanate from those ferocious, angry eyes, and their towering figures unintentionally revealed a vast fluctuation of Magic Power. The two figures standing between heaven and earth caused the surrounding blurry space to light up slightly.
Like two demon gods, they watched the young man's every move from a superior position.
Suppressing his shock, the young man carefully observed the two figures. He had initially thought that only the Blood Alliance cultivators were in the Chi You Blood Cave, but he hadn't expected to encounter other cultivators here.
Judging from its ancient appearance, robust physique, powerful Magic Power, and domineering divine sense, who exactly is this?
The young man was still able to use his powers freely within the Chi You Blood Cave. Before he could react, he suddenly stared into the eyes above him.
Immediately, the young man's pupils contracted sharply, but no sign of life could be found in his wide-open, angry eyes!
"By the command of my god, I summon the Eastern Yi tribes to join the war!"
Before the doubts could dissipate, the figure in the air opened its mouth again and roared angrily at the youth, its long weapon already pointed at the youth's chest.
Although his eyes were still lifeless, his movements were very standard and skillful, as if he had practiced countless times.
The ancient armor made him appear even taller and more imposing on his robust body, and the energy emanating from him made him seem even more extraordinary!
The words that came from his mouth seemed to have traveled through countless eras, carrying an aura of immortality, bursting forth anew from the lips of the former warrior, and displaying themselves between heaven and earth!
"I am willing to follow the War Lord!"
The young man bowed deeply and respectfully to the figure above, then withdrew his Magic Power, allowing the other party's divine sense to probe him.
"Your cultivation is sufficient; I agree and will follow!"
"Promise!"
As soon as he uttered the words, a massive energy emanated from his body, and the power of the rules within the space burst forth, manifesting a unique spectacle around the youth.
