Chapter 435: Chapter 223: Blood Essence Refines the Thousand Mechanisms; Skeleton Divine Extreme Source Awakens

The head flew high, eyes widened in shock, with an unbelievable emotion deep in the pupils.

Venerable Blood Mist never imagined that with his status and strength, after ten years of preparation, everything that was once within easy reach would turn into nothingness.

In his calculations, none of this should have happened.

This time, as long as he succeeded, he could rightfully seize this small space and inherit all the legacy of the Divine Thought Patriarch.

And by wielding the power of several Blood Puppets, he would be qualified to take the final step.

Becoming the one and only Core Formation Cultivator in the Earth Desolate Mountain Realm for hundreds of years.

Everything seemed to be as he had envisioned.

Unfortunately, his over-cunning plans backfired on his own life.

Ultimately, he was thwarted by Zheng Yi, a troublemaker, whose interference not only ruined his plans but made him a stepping stone for others.

Success comes from the heavens; planning comes from man.

As Venerable Blood Mist’s incredulous expression froze on his face, his head flew high at that moment, Nether River Daoist sneered and transformed into a surging Blood River, covering him directly.

The Blood Demon Armor, along with Venerable Blood Mist’s body, turned into a wisp of vortex, completely sinking into the depths of the Blood River, swallowed down.

Watching Venerable Blood Mist completely disappear in the Blood River, Zheng Yi’s eyes flickered.

In this operation, he was naturally the final victor.

But from Venerable Blood Mist, he also saw a part of his own reflection.

So he must summarize the lessons.

The struggle for the Great Dao is never easy.

The road ahead is full of thorns, attaining the Dao is as hard as ascending to the heavens, he must take heed not to fall into the same plight as Venerable Blood Mist.

Boom! Boom!

With the Blood Demon Armor and Venerable Blood Mist absorbed, the Blood River suddenly shook.

On the originally raging blood-colored river surface, waves surged high, sending ripples outward as if trying to absorb the entire heavens and earth.

In an instant, an overpowering suction force erupted from within the turbulent Blood River, and in the surrounding space, the Blood Mist Array originally set by Venerable Blood Mist, without its controller, began to disperse.

Accompanied by long scarlet threads like living creatures, swimming within, shuttling back and forth, seemingly in search of a target.

However, suddenly, from the depths of the Blood River, a powerful suction force erupted again, gulping in all the surrounding space’s Blood Qi and the long, swimming scarlet threads into the Blood River.

The Blood Mist Array set by Venerable Blood Mist became the enormous material for the Blood River’s replenishment, like a greedy black hole, relentlessly absorbing all the Blood Qi energy.

Boom!

A cluster of radiance was condensing beneath the river bottom.

Infinite dazzling light shimmered, concentrating on the myriad translucent Blood Essence Stones at the river’s bottom, all converging towards this brilliance, with surging pure Bloodline Energy rapidly integrating into it.

Moments later, a massive Blood Egg emerged from the riverbed, swept up by the churning blood-colored waves onto the river’s surface.

Nether River Daoist reaped enormous benefits this time.

By continuously devouring massive amounts of Bloodline Energy, his source energy stored up to a terrifying level, and due to the instinct of biological evolution, it formed a huge Blood Egg, floating above the Blood River.

Zheng Yi approached, sensing the aura within the Blood Egg rapidly rising, with its essence beginning to undergo a certain degree of evolution.

Evolving towards a more powerful and perfect body.

Furthermore, taking this opportunity, Zheng Yi’s Spirit Storm enveloped a radius of ten thousand meters, effortlessly trapping the Twelve-winged Celestial Fire Dragon Centipede.

This terrifying creature, an exotic species of Heaven and Earth, was initially difficult to capture even with several Purple Mansion Cultivators joining forces, though partly due to Venerable Chou Ox Blood Mist deliberately holding back.

But now, with Zheng Yi personally taking action, manifesting the Spiritual Power of a Divine Soul Puppet, he could instantly create a Spirit Storm.

With just the terrifying Divine Soul Power, he could easily subdue this giant monster.

Amid its furious roars and struggles, the terrifying Spiritual Power formed into blades, directly tearing through the Dragon Centipede’s incredibly tough armor, breaching its body to extract the Inner Core burning with scarlet flames.

This was part of the promises Zheng Yi had made to Wei Xu.

Zheng Yi was not concerned about the Celestial Dao Oath.

After advancing his Divine Soul, there were countless ways to circumvent his previous vows.

However, since he had agreed with the other, and had also acquired the Tier Four Array inheritance, he must remain faithful.

After all, in a sense, Master Wei Xu had helped him in public matters, and privately, there was an obligation to pass on teachings and guidance.

Zheng Yi would not violate such a trivial matter.

Upon Zheng Yi’s defeat of the Twelve-winged Celestial Fire Dragon Centipede, retrieving the Inner Core and collecting its body, he realized that the massive Blood Egg formed by the Nether River Daoist still floated on the river’s surface, showing no major changes.

Only the entwined scarlet aura above it continued to strengthen.

Zheng Yi understood that the Nether River Daoist required time for transformation to complete.

He was in no rush and began to gauge the small space left by the Divine Thought Patriarch.

Venerable Blood Mist stayed here to obtain dominion over the entire ruin, and with the cunning of such an old monster, planning for so long must entail some benefit.
