“No, there’s something wrong with the ‘rules’ here,” Yun Zhi frowned, realizing the problem as soon as she made a move.
Her palm should have shattered the rules of this place, but in reality, the rules were scattered in form but not in essence. Even if she held back her strength, it shouldn’t be like this.
“There are two types of ‘rules’ here.” Yun Zhi understood what was wrong. The first type, written with clouds, was the original rule. However, there had been a mutation, resulting in the appearance of the second type of rule, written with blood.
The contradiction between the two rules caused chaos in the entire realm!
Someone intentionally caused chaos in the realm, making it impossible to enter or leave!
Moreover, the fact that the second type of rule, as an external rule, could contend with the original rule indicated that the person who left the second type was even stronger than the owner of the realm!
And Sanli Zhenren was at the peak of the Combined Body stage.
“Hehe, who dares to disturb my slumber?”
The sound of cracking ice resounded, followed by a burst of domineering aura from the end point, like a king above the nine heavens, cold and indifferent, looking down upon the world.
The radiance broke through the sky, and the aura was awe-inspiring.
The aura grew stronger and had the momentum to sweep away everything.
“Early stage of Tribulation.” Immortal Fairy quickly judged the opponent’s realm.
Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou’s expressions changed drastically. The early stage of Tribulation was the strongest enemy they had encountered. Why would a realm at the Combined Body stage be in a state of slumber?
Immortal Fairy was well-informed and quickly figured out the reason.
“It’s easy to understand. The realm is a good hiding place. When the realm awakens, it can gradually restore its strength. The downside is that it cannot perceive changes in the outside world in a timely manner. For example, if Sanli Zhenren senses a change in the spiritual energy, he will awaken. But if it’s this stage of Tribulation, he might not wake up until the end of the Great World War.”
“So he has a clever method. When Sanli Zhenren wakes up, he will definitely return to the realm. When Sanli Zhenren notices the change in the ‘rules,’ he will definitely take action. By then, he will be awakened by Sanli Zhenren’s actions.”
“This stage of Tribulation set up new rules in the realm to kill those who entered by mistake and not disturb his slumber.”
Lu Yang broke out in a cold sweat. He didn’t expect there to be such complicated factors behind him.
“Hey, what are you afraid of? With me here, a mere early stage of Tribulation, I can kick him to death.” Huang Doudou boasted shamelessly. Anyway, with Yun Zhi present, there was no need for her to take action.
“I am the Blood Demon Venerable. Who are you? State your name.” The Blood Demon Venerable looked coldly at Senior Sister, able to easily break the rules. The opponent was at least at the early stage of Tribulation.
But so what? He was confident that even if he faced someone at the mid stage of Tribulation, he wouldn’t fall behind.
“Blood Demon Venerable?!” Meng Jingzhou exclaimed in a low voice.
“Do you know him?” Lu Yang asked.
“I do.” There weren’t many people at the Tribulation stage, and each one had the qualifications to be recorded in the history books. Therefore, Meng Jingzhou had heard of the name of the Blood Demon Venerable. When he couldn’t sleep as a child, his mother often used the name of the Blood Demon Venerable to scare him.
“The Blood Demon Venerable is a demonic cultivator who has killed countless people. It is said that he writes down all the cities in the world on a piece of paper, crumples it up, and whichever city’s people he catches, he uses them for cultivation. His path of cultivation is paved with bones!”
“He also supported a former Emperor Yu and became the national teacher, commanding the winds and rain in the Great Yu Dynasty. Later, I don’t know how, but he disappeared. Some say he died under a tribulation, but now it seems that he was hiding here!”
“Seek Tao Sect, Yun Zhi.”
Seeing that Yun Zhi was unmoved, the Blood Demon Venerable was puzzled. Hadn’t his name spread to this era?
Well, then he would just have a big slaughter and let the world know his name.
The Tribulation stage and the Combined Body stage were different. After they awakened, they could quickly return to their peak state.
A blood-colored giant stood tall, roaring and howling. The blood-colored giant turned the ‘rules’ into an axe and swung it lightly, causing the space to tremble as if the entire realm couldn’t withstand his power!
Yun Zhi raised one hand in front of her chest, emitting boundless golden light, like a compassionate Buddha walking out of a mural, sacred and inviolable.
She pushed out a palm, and the countless golden lights pierced through the darkness, striking the blood-colored giant.
The blood-colored giant blocked with its double axes, but the axes formed by the ‘rules’ gradually melted away in the countless golden lights, along with the blood-colored giant’s hard shell.
The Blood Demon Venerable was shocked, “No, you’re not at the early stage of Tribulation!”
He tore through space and turned to run. It was unnecessary to provoke such an enemy for the sake of pride when he couldn’t determine the outcome of a battle against someone at the mid stage of Tribulation.
After tearing through space, he would be randomly teleported to any location in the world, and the opponent would never find him.
Just as the Blood Demon Venerable was about to laugh and leave some harsh words, he saw an infinite and dazzling golden light in front of him. In the golden light, a graceful figure walked towards him.
“No, you’re not at the mid stage of Tribulation, and you don’t have the means of the late stage of Tribulation. You’re at the peak of Tribulation, or even…”
“You know too much.” Yun Zhi responded coldly, clasping her hands together and squeezing out the Blood Demon Venerable’s soul.
The physical body at the Tribulation stage was the best material for refining, so it couldn’t be easily destroyed.
Yun Zhi took out the Jade Purifying Bottle and stored the Blood Demon Venerable’s soul, preparing to return to the sect and slowly interrogate him.The whole process was relaxed and comfortable, the cave was calm and serene, as if nothing had happened.
The lion and the antelope were dancing a duet, their relationship harmonious, striving to prove they were good beasts. The elephant lay on the ground, playing dead with its four feet in the air.
“It seems that the ancient Tribulation Crossing stage might be hidden in the cave.” Yun Zhi mused, this was something she hadn’t thought of before. After leaving the cave, she would have to inform the other four Immortal Sects and the Great Xia Dynasty.
“Let’s go.” Yun Zhi left a light sentence behind, taking graceful steps towards the end.
Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou exchanged a glance, jogging to catch up.
There was no danger along the way—at least, that’s how it seemed to Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou.
But in the eyes of the beasts, it was a different scene—the terrifying Demon King exuded a chilling frosty aura, leading her two followers, walking freely in the cave, extremely dangerous.
The three of them reached the end, where several huge golden treasure chests were placed, along with piles of spirit stones. The number of top-grade spirit stones was even more than the high-grade ones, making one drool with desire.
Not only were there treasures of the three True Men here, but also some things belonging to the Blood Demon Venerable.
Yun Zhi opened the golden treasure chest, inside were various heavenly materials and earth treasures, cultivation methods and secret manuals, which made Lu Yang and Meng Jingzhou dazzled. Even with Meng Jingzhou’s knowledge, he had a hard time identifying these treasures.
Yun Zhi could easily identify the names and uses of these items: “Dragon Transformation Grass, if a Flood Dragon ingests and refines it, it can increase the chance of transforming into a dragon by 30%.”
Transforming into a dragon is the dream of all Flood Dragons, one doesn’t need to think to know how valuable this is.
“Bodhi Fruit, consuming it can enhance one’s wisdom root, but the cost is the permanent loss of hair.”
“Red Sun Vajra Sand, an essential material for refining high-level fire attribute magical treasures.”
“Glazed Heavenly Pure Water, applying it all over the body can preserve the physical body from decay for a hundred thousand years.”
“Core of a beast in the Fusion stage…”
“Dragon tendon in the Fusion stage…”
“Hehuan Powder…”
There were quite a few treasures of the ‘Fusion’ level.
