The battlefield was way too huge, it was hundreds of miles in radius. It was not until the afternoon that dozens of Astral Reaching Realm warriors managed to evaporate the blood river that had the potential to form a blood demon.
"Luckily, no top-rank blood demons appeared!" The Fire Spirit said in relief.
The Black Crow Man said, "There are different levels of top-rank blood demons. If it were a normal top-rank blood demon, I would be able to kill it for sure. If it were a bit more powerful, I think only your fire element zhen yuan would be able to suppress it. As for the top-rank blood demons, I am afraid only the extremely rare sun zhen yuan would be able to suppress it."
Another Astral Reaching Realm warrior walked over and laughed, "Blood demons can increase their cultivation very fast in the early stages. Once they reach the top-rank blood demon level, even if they devour one hundred blood essences of the same level, they would not be able to make much progress unless they devour extremely powerful essences or Seas of Souls Realm warriors. Speaking of which, the blood demons' talents are way too powerful. We have spent decades to reach the Astral Reaching Realm, but for the blood demons, as long as they have enough essences, they would be able to reach the Astral Reaching Realm in a short period of time."
The Black Crow Man laughed, "I would rather train slower than become a blood demon. Before the blood demons reach the Blood Demon King level, they would always be afraid of sunlight, fire, and thunder. Even if they become a Blood Demon King, the zhen yuan with the three elements would still be able to suppress them. Plus, you guys should not forget that the blood demons only increase their cultivation by devouring essences. Once their consciousness starts to get messed up, that would be the time for them to die."
"Yeah! The biggest weakness of the blood demons is that they can easily break down their consciousness. The more they devour, the faster their consciousness will break down. In the human area, almost none of the blood demons could become a Blood Demon King, and very few of them could become Blood Demon Generals. However, after this incident, we have indeed been too careless. It seems like we have forgotten a lot of the horrifying records in the past thousand years. "
Everyone was speechless.
In the human history, there were a few blood demon disasters. The first one was too far away from the modern era, which was in the ancient era. The second one was fifty thousand years after the ancient era, and the third one was one thousand years ago. The records for the first two were very vague, since it was way too long ago. However, the third one was very detailed.
Back then, the true spirit continent was at its peak. Almost every three days, there would be a small beast wave in every country. Every half a month, there would be a medium beast wave in mid-sized countries, and every half a year, there would be a large beast wave in the big countries. It had been like this for a whole year. In the endless battles, both the demonic beasts and humans had suffered great losses. The number had reached a horrifying three hundred billion. The blood light had shot into the sky, turning the clouds in the sky red. The rain was also blood rain. A lot of warriors had been attacked by the blood light and turned into murderous maniacs. There were also a lot of people who had lost their minds and died.
Such a horrifying environment was undoubtedly a paradise for the blood demons. Countless blood demons were born in the mountains of corpses and oceans of blood. At first, there were only a few of them, but because the humans did not manage to get rid of them in time, they continued to be born. Eventually, after the beast wave had ended, the number of blood demons had reached one hundred million. Among them, there were hundreds of Blood Demon Generals. Due to some special reasons, there was also an incomplete Blood Demon King.
Perhaps for the whole human race, hundreds of Blood Demon Generals and an incomplete Blood Demon King were not worth mentioning at all. But, the disaster would not disappear just because the human race was powerful.
One hundred million blood demons had destroyed countless countries and devoured billions of human beings' blood. Even a lot of Sea of Souls Realm warriors and a Life and Death Realm warrior had been killed. It should be known that not even a single Life and Death Realm warrior had died in that beast wave.
From then on, as long as the scale of the battle was over a million people, there would be people who would specifically clean out the blood demons, just in case. For some reason, many of the beast waves in the past did not produce any blood demons. Even if there were, it would only be a small group, and most of them would be low rank blood demons. There would be very few low-rank blood demons. Perhaps it was because of this that people had become careless and did not pay much attention to the blood demons.
"Alright, the beast clouds have already disappeared. This area is completely under the sunlight, so there will not be any new blood demons. Let's go back."
"Yeah, there will be the army of the Gold Tripod City to clean up the battlefield."
The dead bodies of the beasts on the battlefield were not complete. Many of them had already been shattered. But, if one collected them carefully, there would still be a lot of beast materials and pellets.
On the wide street of the Gold Tripod City …
Ye Chen and Guo Lanyue were walking side by side, preparing to go back to their respective hotels.
"Before the beast wave happened, today would have been the annual auction of the Gold Tripod City. But now, it might be delayed for a while." Guo Lanyue smiled with her eyes squinted.
Ye Chen said, "I would like to digest some of my battle experience."
After battling for a long time, there were a lot of things that he did not have the time to digest and understand. Ye Chen needed to train while his memory was still very clear, turning all of those experiences into his own power.
"Hehe, you are indeed a training maniac. But, our Moon Pavilion needs martial geniuses like you." Guo Lanyue's eyes were filled with passion. She was sure that once Ye Chen joined the Moon Pavilion's Seven Nights, he would be able to push the Seven Nights to a whole new level, although he might not be as powerful as the Third Night right now.
Ye Chen shook his head and said, "Wait until I have a reason. Maybe I will join the Moon Pavilion. Right now, the Moon Pavilion is not attractive enough for me."
For Ye Chen, everything he did must have a purpose. He could not do it blindly and irresponsibly. Right now, he did not have any reason or purpose to join the Moon Pavilion.
The more Ye Chen rejected, the more anxious Guo Lanyue was. She planned to report Ye Chen's situation to the management and the leader of the building as soon as she got back to the Moon Pavilion.
They arrived at the hotel where Ye Chen was staying. After greeting each other, the two of them separated.
"Young warrior, the bath water is ready for you." Outside the guest room, the waiter said with respect.
Tipping the waiter ten silvers, Ye Chen pushed open the door and walked in.
Inside the bathroom.
Ye Chen relaxed and closed his eyes slightly. He tried to recall everything that happened on the battlefield. Maybe it was because of his soul power, but some of the details that he usually did not pay attention to were all recalled. For example, a certain sword attack, a certain dodge, a certain kill.
"There seems to be something wrong with the angle?"
"The dodging route is too sloppy."
"The kill is not clean enough."
"…"
The more he tried to recall, the more mistakes Ye Chen realized. It was not because his power had dropped, but because he had been fighting way too often. Once or twice would be enough to keep him at his best condition, but after a thousand or even tens of thousands of times, mistakes would be hard to avoid. Even for Ye Chen.
Slowly letting out a mouthful of dirty air that did not exist, Ye Chen opened his eyes and mumbled to himself, "There sure are a lot of mistakes. This is what humans are like, full of uncertainty."
Swoosh!
Standing up from the bath, Ye Chen's slim and muscular body was vaguely visible under the cover of the steam. Right now, he was already seventeen years old, and his body was basically fully developed, which made him look even more powerful and explosive.
Changing into clean clothes, Ye Chen went back to his bedroom and started to meditate and train quietly.
…
On the battlefield that was filled with dead bodies, groups of fully armed soldiers were collecting the materials and pellets from the dead bodies of the beasts. Right next to them were huge wooden carts.
"So many beast materials, how much money would it cost? How about we hide a few beast pellets, the kind of high grade ones? "
"I advise you not to do anything stupid. Can't you see that someone is watching? If you are discovered, you will be executed immediately. "
"Hehe, I am just joking."
"This kind of joke is not funny. The beast wave was taken care of by the warriors who participated in the battle. We did not contribute much, and it is not like we got nothing. As long as we collect all the beast materials and pellets, we will all get about five percent. If we split it evenly, it would be equivalent to one or two months of our income. So, just do what you are supposed to do, and don't think about anything else."
The old captain of the soldiers advised patiently.
Deep underground.
Inside the blood river.
The blood shadow sensed the aura of the humans on the ground and was a bit restless. After a long time, it calmed down.
"No, these humans are too weak. Devouring their blood will only do me more harm than good. It will only make me collapse faster. Never mind, I will rest in the blood river for a while and try to consolidate my power." Blood demons were a strange kind of existence. They were born from the essence and resentment in blood. The information in their minds was very complicated, but there was no doubt that once they reached a certain level, they would be able to organize the complicated information and produce a unique intelligence.
Laughing viciously, the blood shadow slowly sank into the blood river.
…
Days passed by, and Ye Chen was still in the closed-door training mode.
On the fifth day.
A sharp intent burst out in the guest room, and the calm air started to ripple.
"Break!"
Opening his eyes, two beams of sword qi shot out from his eyes. Ye Chen opened his mouth and shouted with a low voice.
Whooo!
The air ripple was cut open quickly, and a vague sword shadow flashed and disappeared. This sword shadow could not be seen by others, but only Ye Chen could feel it.
A faintly discernible sound was heard.
Ye Chen raised his head and looked at it.
The bonsai in front of him shook slightly, and its leaves drooped down. It seemed like an invisible power had killed all of its vitality, and it became lifeless.
"Thirty percent sword intent is entry level sword intent, and ninety-nine percent is entry level sword intent. Right now, I am at around fifty percent sword intent."
Sword intent was something like an illusion. Normally, it was hard to get into the beginner level, and it would be slightly easier in the later stages. Because before reaching the beginner level, one would not be able to feel its existence. Being able to learn the sword intent meant that one had to have a strong mind and a unique understanding of sword arts. Ye Chen had already learned the sword intent, and he had reached entry level sword intent. He already had a certain understanding of the sword intent, which was why he knew what was needed for the growth of the sword intent and how to improve it. Without a surprise, the others were the same.
However, it was only relatively easy in the later stages. A lot of people had limited potential, or because they were living in a small environment, which made their sword intent stagnate. Therefore, there were very few people who could reach entry level sword intent, and one in ten thousand would be able to reach entry level sword intent. As for the completed sword intent, there were not that many people in the whole true spirit continent. Therefore, no one knew what was beyond the completed sword intent.
According to Ye Chen's understanding, the sword intent was a bit like a support tool. For example, a normal sword Qi could cut a piece of steel, but if it contained the sword intent, it might be able to cut two pieces of steel. The reason was that the sword intent had changed the structure of the sword Qi, which made the sword Qi firmer and more destructive. However, the process of the sword intent changing the sword Qi could not be affected by sword artists. Or in other words, with Ye Chen's current cultivation, he was not able to affect the sword intent yet.
But of course, the sword intent was not completely like a support tool. Because it was invisible, it could cut through the void, and could not be affected by any evil. Just like that attack just now, it seemed like it did not exist, but it had actually killed the bonsai instead of destroying it.
