Space Node, Chaos Secret Realm
Huang Guolao used his divine sense to explore the surroundings, searching for spatial nodes within this space.
"Boss, we've found the spatial node... Boss, come quick, I'll take you to break through it."
Han Xiangzi exclaimed with great joy. Upon hearing his words, Huang Guolao immediately strode toward the place Han Xiangzi had mentioned.
He pointed to a large tree not far away, which was the entrance to the Chaos Secret Realm.
Han Xiangzi leaped over and grabbed one of the tree's tentacles.
Instantly, a crack appeared in the trunk of the tree, and then the branches on the tree began to lash out at Han Xiangzi.
"Boss, these Demon Beasts are attacking fiercely, but don't worry, I'm extremely powerful. These Demon Beast can't hurt me, and you don't need to help. Otherwise, you'll be in danger."
While dodging the attacks from the tree branches, Han Xiangzi spoke to Huang Guolao.
Huang Guolao nodded; he didn't need to play the hero.
While dodging the attacks, Han Xiangzi was also constantly searching for spatial nodes. Soon, he found a place, then kicked a big tree to pieces, revealing the location of the spatial node.
"Boss, let me take you away from the Chaos Secret Realm first."
Huang Guolao nodded and followed Han Xiangzi into the spatial node.
Han Xiangzi crushed the spatial node with his feet, then transplanted some small trees into it, and the spatial node instantly regained its balance.
Seeing this, Huang Guolao was filled with emotion. If he were strong enough, perhaps this spatial node wouldn't have been able to stop him at all.
"Where are we going now?" Han Xiangzi asked.
"Go wherever you want; these Demon Beast won't chase after you."
"Alright, no matter where it is, I won't leave here. I will protect this starry sky."
"I see."
Han Xiangzi piloted the spaceship, speeding towards the depths of the starry sky.
At that very moment, his spaceship was suddenly intercepted.
These spaceships are all guarded by powerful Demon Beast, each possessing combat power at the level of Immortal King.
A flash of anger crossed Han Xiangzi's eyes; it seemed she had been targeted.
"Boss, they're from the Heavenly Secrets Sect!"
Han Xiangzi immediately stowed away the spaceship. "Let's go back to the city."
"Wait, Brother Han, I have a suggestion I'd like to discuss with you."
"Um?"
Do you think we can compete with them?
"Boss, don't you trust me?"
"Brother Han, that's not what I meant. I just hope our enemies aren't too strong, so we can cooperate more smoothly. Otherwise, even if you manage to escape this space, you'll probably be torn to shreds by those Demon Beasts."
I will do my best to protect the boss.
"Brother Han, no matter what, thank you very much this time. If it weren't for your reminder, I might already be dead."
"You're welcome. I was just doing what I was supposed to do."
"Since you say so, then I'm relieved."
"Boss, are you really planning to join forces with the Heavenly Secrets Sect?"
"Yes, we have no way out. We must unite with the Heavenly Secrets Sect to withstand the attacks of those Demon Beasts. Moreover, the people of the Heavenly Secrets Sect are all heroes. If we can form an alliance, it will increase our chances of victory."
"That's one way, but these people from the Heavenly Secrets Sect aren't ordinary people; they're cultivators. I'm worried... I'm afraid it might cause them losses."
"Loss?"
A smile appeared on Huang Guolao's face. If these people from the Heavenly Secrets Sect could become his servants, that would be the best outcome.
Huang Guolao looked at Han Xiangzi and asked with a smile, "Brother Han, where are my servants?"
Han Xiangzi was taken aback. "Boss, what happened to your servant?"
"A friend of mine was eaten by those Demon Beast because of something."
Han Xiangzi's heart tightened. "Boss, do you mean you want to recruit them?"
"Yes, we are both cultivators, and both are Rogue Cultivator. If we have these people to help us, our safety will be much more assured. Brother Han, what do you think of my suggestion?"
Han Xiangzi remained silent for a moment, then finally nodded, agreeing with Huang Guolao's suggestion, "What the eldest brother said makes a lot of sense, but I have a condition."
"You say."
"I will stand by my leader through thick and thin."
"Okay, no problem. In that case, come with me now."
Huang Guolao immediately took Han Xiangzi flying, and soon Han Xiangzi followed Huang Guolao to the depths of the Milky Way.
In a place where the starlight was dim, Huang Guolao saw a dark red meteorite with a crystal-clear blood bead embedded in it.
The bead of blood exuded an astonishingly evil aura.
Han Xiangzi saw the dark red blood bead and her face immediately showed a shocked expression. "This is... a blood bead?"
"That's right." Huang Guolao nodded with a smile.
"This... this is a blood bead from Blood Devil Stone!"
Han Xiangzi trembled with excitement, and her eyes instantly welled up with tears.
I have never seen the blood beads of the Blood Devil Stone before, let alone observed them at such close range.
Immediately afterwards, Han Xiangzi stepped forward and carefully examined the Blood Devil Stone.
"This Blood Devil Stone is indeed a valuable item, dozens of times more precious than I imagined."
Han's finger touched the blood bead of the Blood Devil Stone, and the bead immediately burst out with a dense crimson light, transforming into a pillar of blood that shot into the sky. Within the pillar, a massive blood shadow rose into the air, baring its fangs and claws as it pounced towards Han Xiangzi.
Han Xiangzi's eyes turned bloodshot, and he seemed to have fallen into madness, emanating an extremely strong Sha Qi that even distorted the surrounding space.
"Go!"
Han Xiangzi punched the blood shadow formed by the blood mist, which immediately collapsed and dissipated. Han Xiangzi then threw another punch, this time aimed directly at the blood cloud formed by the blood mist.
Boom-
The blood cloud instantly exploded, and a scream came from within it, "Ah... no, you're not him, you're not him!!"
Han Xiangzi's fist shattered the blood cloud and continued to charge forward, relentlessly bombarding the blood shadows along the way.
Every time Han Xiangzi's fist shattered a blood shadow, a cloud of blood mist would burst out from the Blood Devil Stone, turning into countless blood flowers that sprayed out in all directions.
In just a few breaths, Han Xiangzi had shattered over a hundred blood shadows, and the color of the Blood Devil Stone gradually faded.
Han Xiangzi breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.
Finally, amidst Han Xiangzi's excited roar, the color on the Blood Devil Stone completely faded.
