Galloping all the way.

Feng Jue followed the guidance of the soul within him and headed west. When he was ten miles from the True Demon Blood Pool, the soul inside him cried out repeatedly, urging Feng Jue to stop and not take another step forward.

"Elder, what’s wrong?"

The soul within replied anxiously, "Han Li’s Undying Bone has entered my soul perception, just ten miles ahead. But inside is a Golden Core Demon Soul. No wonder Han Li’s Undying Bone hasn’t shown any signs; it’s been possessed by the Demon Soul.

That’s a complete Golden Core Demon Soul, nurtured by True Demon Blood. Even I run the risk of being consumed if not careful. Do not advance any further. If it discovers us, the Golden Core Demon Soul controlling the Undying Bone is enough to trap the two of us in a place of eternal disaster."

Feng Jue hastily asked, not daring to take another step forward, "Elder, can’t the Three Souls Flawless Technique you taught me block that Demon Soul?"

"The Three Souls Flawless Technique is a Golden Core-level Divine Soul Defense Yin Technique. When cultivated to the Realm of Perfection, it can resist the soul attacks of late-stage Golden Core and even Perfection Cultivators. But you’ve just started, how can you resist a complete Golden Core Demon Soul?"

The soul within was evidently nervous. No wonder there were no demons in the Demon Nurturing Forest; in the entire grotto heaven, only the Six-armed Stone Statue and Innate Death Land remained. It turns out the demons have all been transformed into Demon Souls for the Blood Pool.

"Enough, young one, let’s go." Seeing Feng Jue’s hesitation, the soul quickly reminded, "Since Han Li sent the Undying Bone, besides helping you, surely he also wants to avoid danger himself. He’s more stable than you; you should learn from him. Though the Undying Bone is precious, if you feel indebted, you can repay it later.

Once you’ve achieved the Heterodox Golden Core and head to the Hundred Floating Domains, recreating the Undying Bone may be difficult, but not impossible there."

Feng Jue sighed, looking towards the direction of the East Spring Undying Bone. "This journey, I’ve wronged Brother Han too much."

"Let’s go."

The soul within reminded again, not daring to linger.

If the Golden Core Demon Soul finishes absorbing the Demon Blood and the Blood Demon steals the God Demonic Qi and gets reborn, perhaps none in this grotto heaven could escape.

Feng Jue reluctantly nodded, hastening to retreat, heading directly towards Yun Ni and Yue Yinrong. In moments, he reached another exit in the grotto heaven, where Yun Ni was forcibly opening a life gate in the Trapping Array at the exit. Seeing Feng Jue returning alone, her expression changed slightly, as did Yue Yinrong’s.

Elder Han, perished?

"Elder Feng, what happened to Elder Han?" Yue Yinrong quickly asked.

Feng Jue urgently urged Yun Ni, "Quickly open the life gate. We don’t have much time. When that demon recovers, not only Han Li but we three will fall in this grotto heaven."

Hearing this, Yue Yinrong and Yun Ni were shocked and also felt a bit panicked. If someone as strong as Elder Han couldn’t guarantee his safety, what can they do? Thinking of this, Yun Ni quickly accelerated her actions.

Feng Jue glanced back at the Demon Nurturing Forest, now filled only with anxiety and unease. If the Golden Core Demon Soul senses the Seven-Colored Golden Sunflower and pursues them, even exhausting their lifespan might not aid in escaping.

Golden Core Demon Soul, plus the Undying Bone Body, even if a Fake Pill Cultivator came personally, they might barely manage.

...

At the edge of the True Demon Blood Pool.

As time slowly passed, the East Spring Undying Bone had drained the True Demon Blood Pool dry, and the massive amount of Blood Demon stealing God Demonic Qi hidden within the Soul Nourishing Land at the bottom was also consumed, transforming into nourishment for the Thunder Spirit Demon Blood Body.

Watching seven hundred years of accumulation vanish within an hour and being helpless to stop the Undying Bone, the Three Karmic Demon Luo was enraged but helpless, having to halt its soul power bombardment in futile fury.

"Boy, I’ll remember you."

The Three Karmic Demon Luo roared angrily, fiercely emerging from the East Spring Undying Bone’s corpse, breaking through the Spirit-Extinguishing Corpse Qi that formed a cage, staring hatefully at the East Spring Undying Bone with eyes seeming to erupt Demon Fire.

"Even if I become a demon in this life, I will tear you to pieces!"

Demonic sound echoed.

Even Wen Jiu in Lengxi Mountain could feel the malice.

With these words, the Three Karmic Demon Luo was about to flee rapidly towards the direction of the Golden Core Great Demon at the grotto entrance. Wen Jiu didn’t use Soul Capturing Divine Techniques because the East Spring Undying Bone’s current strength was insufficient to capture the Golden Core Demon Soul. Instead, failing would expose their cards, prompting the opponent to be prepared in the future.

Just watching a treasure trove slip away like this left Wen Jiu feeling somewhat distressed.

"Such a pity."

Wen Jiu lamented repeatedly.

But fortunately, the True Demon Blood Pool and a large amount of Blood Demon stealing God Demonic Qi had become nourishment for Corpse Nourishing. After transforming them all into Corpse Nurturing Experience, the East Spring Undying Bone is bound to advance further, as is the Thunder Spirit Demon Blood Body.

"Go."

Wen Jiu immediately ordered the East Spring Undying Bone to leave, tracing Feng Jue’s Corpse Qi Mark. But the next moment, the painful roar of a Great Demon echoed, along with the terrifying soul power aura of the Golden Core Demon Soul.

Wen Jiu was stunned, quickly instructing the East Spring Undying Bone to advance at full speed because the Corpse Qi Mark previously left sensed the Golden Core Demon Soul entering the injured Great Demon’s body, with the help of the Six-armed Yin God attempting to possess the Golden Core Great Demon.

If it succeeds, even without peak strength, just three to five percent would be enough to annihilate all existence below Golden Core. Even the Undying Bone may not withstand it.

"This old thing is truly enraged by me." If it possesses the Great Demon, the Three Karmic Demon Luo could only cultivate as a demon, and breaking through as a demon is much more difficult than a Demon Cultivator, also affected by bloodline and other factors.
