It had been two days since Ye Chen arrived at the second floor of the Blood Demon Battlefield. He had killed more than thirty mid-grade blood demons and seven high-grade blood demons. Among them, there was a very powerful high-grade blood demon, roughly equivalent to a human late Astral Reaching expert, not much weaker than Corpse Man. Moreover, blood demons were different from humans. The higher their rank, the harder they were to kill. Even if one were to cut them into seven or eight pieces, they wouldn't die. Only by thoroughly scattering the blood demon would it be considered a true kill. Therefore, in situations of equal strength, it was usually the blood demons that killed the human powerhouses. The cases of human powerhouses killing blood demons were far too rare.
The terror of the Blood Demon Battlefield could only be understood by entering it personally!
"In these two days, I've obtained three low-grade artifacts, and not a single mid-grade artifact. Seems like finding a mid-grade artifact won't be that easy. Even if I find one, it might not suit me, and I can only sell it." Ye Chen flew in the sky neither too fast nor too slow. Having cultivated the Restraining Qi Art, he wasn't too worried about becoming the target of the crowd. Of course, the Restraining Qi Art's grade was too low at the Astral Reaching realm. It was still somewhat lacking compared to high-grade blood demons.
"Eh?"
Not far ahead, Ye Chen saw an ancient stone gate. A blood-red whirlpool slowly revolved within the gate, appearing especially eye-catching against the black-red mountain rocks.
"Blood Demon Battlefield is said to have several hundred conveyor gates. This is my first time seeing one." Entering the Blood Demon Battlefield from the outside, one would sometimes appear out of thin air, and sometimes one would appear through these gates. There was no pattern to it. Ye Chen had appeared out of thin air in the second floor.
Flying over the gate, Ye Chen continued to search for mid-grade artifacts.
Buzz!
Not long after Ye Chen left, the blood-red whirlpool inside the gate sped up, and a human figure instantly shot out. He was wearing a black robe, and his complexion was pale and devoid of blood. No matter how one looked at it, it didn't seem to be his face at all.
"Jie Jie, for human powerhouses, blood demons are very frightening. I, Corpse Man, have corpse blood on my body, which is simply not to the taste of blood demons." The man sneered as he took out a ghost face mask from his storage ring and put it on. Who else could it be but the Ghost Man?
A blood-red color suddenly appeared on the ground near the stone door. As the blood-red light flashed, a mid-level blood demon jumped towards the Corpse Man.
However, on the way, this mid-grade blood demon did not sense any qi and blood vibration from the Corpse Man. Therefore, it immediately stopped and wanted to retreat.
"Where are you going?!"
Like a giant grasshopper, the Corpse Man leaped and appeared in front of the mid-grade blood devil, reaching out with his eagle-like claw.
A shocking scene happened. The mid-grade blood devil, who had always been devouring other people's blood, soon shriveled up. It was devoured completely by the Corpse Man, leaving nothing behind.
"It is indeed a great tonic. The thicker the corpse blood, the stronger my recovery ability!" The Corpse Man waved his left arm, which had been cut off by Ye Chen, and laughed proudly.
…
There was no day or night in the Blood Demon Battlefield. Only by relying on the hourglass in his storage ring could Ye Chen know how much time had passed.
A day later, Ye Chen arrived at the center of the Rocky Ridge.
"A mid-grade artifact's aura vibration?"
A mid-grade artifact could amplify an Astral Reaching expert's attack power by thirty to forty percent. The power contained within was enormous, and the aura vibration it emitted was naturally enormous as well. Generally speaking, if there was no one controlling it, the vibration produced by a mid-grade artifact could spread over a hundred li. Of course, only Astral Reaching experts could sense it from a hundred li away. Clasping Yuan experts would need to be ten li away to sense it.
Ye Chen's soul power was exceptionally powerful. He could sense this vibration from a hundred li away.
Swish!
Circulating his Zhen Yuan to the limit, Ye Chen shot towards the source of the vibration. Regardless of whether it was a mid-grade artifact or not, Ye Chen would not give up on a mid-grade artifact. After all, even the worst mid-grade artifact could be sold for thirty thousand mid-grade spirit stones, which was an astonishing fortune for Astral Reaching experts. Moreover, this mid-grade artifact didn't have any activity nearby, so it should be an ownerless object.
Under Ye Chen's full speed, the hundred li distance only took fifty blinks of an eye.
"Over there!"
Relying on his soul power, Ye Chen immediately sensed two mid-grade artifacts lying in the pit ahead. One was an axe, and the other was an inner armor.
"Two mid-grade artifacts! I can use one of them as well! " Ye Chen revealed a smile. He could sell the axe and keep the inner armor for his own use. A mid-grade offensive artifact was important, but a mid-grade defensive artifact was even more important. An ordinary mid-grade defensive artifact could amplify defense by thirty percent, a high grade one could amplify up to thirty-five percent, and a peak one could amplify up to forty percent. Ye Chen was sure that with this mid-grade defensive artifact, his Protective Zhen Yuan's defensive power would be comparable to a late Astral Reaching expert's. And, defense had always been Ye Chen's weakness.
"This is mine!"
The skilled were bold. Ye Chen wasn't afraid of the dangers waiting for him next to the pit. His figure flickered, flying straight over.
"Jie Jie, another one has come to die."
In the pit, a blood shadow appeared. It was a high-grade blood demon.
This high-grade blood demon was extremely confident. He didn't conceal his aura at all, letting his berserk and savage aura spread out, enveloping several hundred meters. He raised his head and cruelly looked at Ye Chen, as if the latter was already his tonic.
"What a powerful high-grade blood demon!" Ye Chen sensed that this high-grade blood demon was a bit more powerful than the one he had killed. It was more or less equivalent to a peak late Astral Reaching expert. As for blood demons using artifacts to attract human experts, this wasn't the first time Ye Chen had encountered one.
Before reaching the rank of Blood Demon General, blood demons generally didn't use weapons. They themselves were frightening weapons. Their bodies would transform into a bloody light, and with a sweep, human experts of the same level wouldn't even have the leeway to resist. Their blood and Qi would be devoured cleanly.
"Burn for me!"
Ye Chen sneered. Since he wasn't afraid of an ambush, he naturally had his own confidence. Burning fiercely with Green Lotus Zhen Yuan, Ye Chen turned into a human-shaped pillar of fire and shot toward the blood demon.
"Great! Your blood and Qi are even more vigorous than late Astral Reaching experts. You must have cultivated a body refining technique. After devouring your blood and Qi, I might be able to reach the limits of high-grade blood demons and have the opportunity to attack the rank of Blood Demon General." The high-grade blood demon licked its lips. As soon as Ye Chen ignited his Zhen Yuan, his blood and Qi boiled, surging with essence Qi.
"I'm afraid you won't be able to devour my blood and Qi, and you'll pay for it yourself!" Ye Chen's speed was extremely fast. In the blink of an eye, he arrived within a hundred meters of the blood demon. "Green Lotus Sky!"
As the sword slashed out, the air froze. Sharp streams of Qi formed into green lotuses, enveloping the blood demon within.
"A strange sword move, but it's useless against me. Break!"
The blood demon roared and punched out. A river of bloody light rushed out, shattering the deathly stillness of the air.
Kacha!
The ground cracked as the high-grade blood demon's eyes shone with an evil light. It raised its hand and lightly patted the void.
Rumble!
The air surged like boiling water, and a corrosive power erupted toward Ye Chen like a volcano, faintly taking the shape of a bloody head.
"Formidable! This high-grade blood demon has many attacking methods. Ordinary high-grade blood demons simply can't compare to it." Ye Chen didn't dare to be negligent. He raised the Star Scar Sword in front of his chest, and a several meters long green lotus appeared on the blade, protecting his whole body.
Puchi!
The green lotus, which had an extremely high defense, was corroded by more than half.
"Not bad! You can actually block my ace move. Let's see how you block it this time!" The high-grade blood demon clasped his hands and suddenly pulled them apart. A half-moon shaped bloody light arc appeared in front of his chest. The bloody light arc flickered incessantly, emitting a vigorous aura that dyed the air blood red.
"Go!"
Accumulating power in his palm, he patted the bloody light arc. Under the high-grade blood demon's urging, the bloody light arc flickered as if it had teleported and strangely chopped toward Ye Chen's head.
"Why bother blocking? Just break it! "
Raising his left index finger, Ye Chen pointed at the bloody light arc.
Puchi!
The deep green sword Qi shot out like a waterfall and circled around the bloody light arc. The bloody light arc was split into two, and its power was greatly reduced.
"Destroy!"
Retracting his finger, Ye Chen punched at the broken bloody light arc.
With a peng sound, the bloody light arc exploded.
"How is this possible? Not only can he release sword Qi from his body, but his power is also so powerful!" The high-grade blood demon's pupils shrank, feeling greatly surprised and troubled.
"Green Lotus Splitting Mountain!"
After destroying the bloody light arc with his left hand, Ye Chen's right hand did not remain idle. Holding the Star Scar Sword, he slashed out a sword light imprinted with the Sky Opening Green Lotus. The sword light was frightening and arrived in an instant.
The high-grade blood demon no longer had the attitude of controlling the whole situation. He hurriedly condensed a bloody skull-like shield in front of his body.
The sound of something breaking was heard as the sword light forcefully broke through the skull shaped shield. In the Green Lotus Sword Art, the power of the Green Lotus Mountain was the strongest out of the three ace attacks. It was only second to the last half of the seventh ace attack, the Green Lotus Accumulation. Combined with the ninety percent sword intent, it was almost indestructible.
The sword light broke through the shield and slashed through the high-grade blood demon's chest.
"Damn it! I wasted two mid-grade artifacts for nothing!" The high-grade blood demon knew that he was not Ye Chen's opponent, so he turned into a bloody light and drilled into the ground.
Ye Chen sneered. His soul power seeped into the ground and quickly found the high-grade blood demon's traces. Then, he slashed down with another Green Lotus Splitting Mountain.
Rumble!
The ground split open like a canyon, revealing the pitch-black depths. The sword light, which had expanded to several hundred meters in length, smashed down with an unstoppable momentum, shattering the continuously fleeing high-grade blood demon.
"Ah!"
The high-grade blood demon's miserable shriek before its death resounded from the depths of the ground. It was mournful and frightening.
After killing the high-grade blood demon, Ye Chen's gaze fell on the two mid-grade artifacts in the crater. His palm pulled them over.
The axe was one meter long, and the handle was dark cyan in color, carved with patterns. The edge of the axe had a faint ring of white light. When his fingers touched the white light, he felt a stabbing pain. It was not hard to imagine what kind of might an Astral Reaching expert would have when chopping down at an enemy with this axe.
Putting away the axe, Ye Chen looked at the inner armor. The hardness of the armor was moderate, and its edges were carved with some fine patterns. On the patterns' lines, thin streams of light shuttled back and forth like a Zhen Yuan map. The chest of the armor was a bit thicker, but it was enough to resist a large degree of damage.
