The Great Poison Conversion Art was worthy of being a high grade heaven grade secret art. Its cultivation difficulty was not inferior to the five star mid grade heaven grade secret art, Blood Severing Ghost Finger. After spending a whole week, Ye Chen had barely grasped the basics. Through the Great Poison Conversion Art, he could observe the basic composition of the variant Star Fire Poison. However, observing was observing; it didn't mean that Ye Chen could dissect the poison.
After another week, Ye Chen was able to decompose the Star Fire Poison, completing the second step.
Unfortunately, he could only dissect the spreading poison, which was the vanguard of the poison. Eradicating the poison was not something that could be done in a day or two.
Moreover, while Ye Chen was dissecting the vanguard, the poison was also transforming into Zhen Yuan, strengthening itself. Strictly speaking, Ye Chen's dissecting speed was not as fast as the poison's Zhen Yuan transformation. As time went on, the poison would grow stronger and stronger, and Ye Chen would no longer be its opponent. His body would become the domain of the poison.
"I have to reach the third step and cultivate the Great Poison Conversion Art to minor completion."
The Poison Conversion Great Art of Small Perfection could refine the Star Fire Poison that had been broken down. Even if it could not completely eradicate the Star Fire Poison, it could at least prevent the Star Fire Poison from turning into Quintessence and strengthening itself. Xiao Chen could use this time to find other methods to eradicate the Star Fire Poison.
…
Blood Sky Continent was the second continent of Elysium. Although it was only half the size of True Spirit Continent, its widest point was thirty million li, and its narrowest point was eighteen million li. It was shaped like a huge coconut, and comparing it to a heart was not an exaggeration.
Just like True Spirit Continent, Blood Sky Continent was also filled with all kinds of danger zones and forbidden zones. Some of them were so dangerous that even Life and Death Kings would find it hard to survive.
Bloodlight Ocean was ranked fourth on Blood Sky Continent.
Its name was Bloodlight Ocean, but it was not a real ocean. Bloodlight Ocean was located in the eastern part of Iron Blood Region. Blood colored Qi drifted throughout the year, resembling a blood light or a blood ocean. Therefore, it was named Bloodlight Ocean.
Bloodlight Sea had two superficial dangers.
One was Blood Demons. Bloodlight Ocean was a breeding ground for Blood Demons. The number of Blood Demons inside was enormous, and no one knew exactly how many there were. Low rank Blood Demons, middle rank Blood Demons, high rank Blood Demons, Blood Demon Generals, Blood Demon Kings … everything that one could imagine could be found there. Due to the special rules of Bloodlight Ocean and its boundless power, the Blood Sky Continent's Demonic Beast Kings and Life and Death Kings couldn't erase this breeding ground of Blood Demons. They could only allow it to exist as long as the Blood Demons didn't come out.
The second was the chaotic will.
If one stayed in the Bloodlight Sea for a long time, one would be invaded by the chaotic will. If it was light, one would become a lunatic. If it was heavy, one would become bloodthirsty and become a member of the Heterogenous Blood Devils.
Due to the existence of these two great dangers, even though the Bloodlight Sea's ranking wasn't as high as the third ranked King Grade Forbidden Zone, its reputation was greater than the third ranked King Grade Forbidden Zone. Just the mention of it would cause one's face to change.
"Old Chang, this is our second time coming to the Bloodlight Ocean after a hundred years!"
At the entrance of Bloodlight Sea, space shattered, and two middle-aged men walked out.
"That's right. A hundred years have passed, and my descendants have all grown old. Monkey, last time, four of us went in, but only two came out. This time, you and I must come out alive."
The middle-aged man with a long beard, who looked to be in his fifties, sighed emotionally.
The middle-aged man called Monkey was not a human, but a monkey that had cultivated into a Demonic King. He nodded heavily, "Definitely. This time, if we come out alive, I will take out the supreme grade Monkey Wine that I have kept for more than two hundred years to share with you."
"You should have given me some when you came. So stingy. Fine, for the sake of your supreme grade Monkey Wine, I must survive. Otherwise, I will suffer a great loss."
If a knowledgeable person was here, he would definitely recognize that the middle-aged man with a long beard and the middle-aged man with a pointy mouth and ape-like chin were the Solitary Kings of the Blood Sky Continent. They were the Anicca Spear King and the Iron Monkey King.
Although the Anicca Spear King and the Iron Monkey King were not of the same race — one was a human, the other a demonic beast — they had a very good relationship. It could be said that they were brothers that had gone through life and death together. A hundred years ago, they had another brother who was also a Demonic King called the Black Horned King. Unfortunately, the Black Horned King had been killed by the Blood Devil King of the Bloodlight Ocean.
"Come, let's go in. This time, no matter what, we must get a Blood Crystal Flower."
The Anicca Spear King's figure flashed, entering the Bloodlight Ocean.
The Iron Monkey King followed closely behind.
…
A few days later, it rained heavily outside the entrance of the Bloodlight Ocean. The sky was overcast, and dark clouds loomed overhead.
Swish!
A sword light cut through the sky, speeding over.
When it was less than a hundred meters away from the entrance, the sword light vanished, and a young figure appeared. He had a head of thick black hair, wearing a loose blue robe. It was Ye Chen.
After training the Poison Melting Great Art to the entry level, he was able to suppress the Star Fire Poison for a while. Then, he stopped training and started to prepare for the cure.
After asking around, Ye Chen found out that there was a king grade forbidden zone in the Iron Blood Region called Bloodlight Ocean. There was a kind of Blood Crystal Flower that was neither a plant nor a mineral. Eating it could increase the strength of one's spirit body. Depending on the age of the Blood Crystal Flower, the effect would vary. A ten thousand years old Blood Crystal Flower could increase one's spirit body by half a step. Of course, this was only for those below the fifth step. Even ten thousand years old Blood Crystal Flowers would not be able to increase the spirit body from the fifth step to the sixth step.
Although the effect of the Blood Crystal Flower was far inferior to the Sky Fiend Fire Spirit Fruit, it was something that Ye Chen urgently needed. Even if it couldn't raise his spirit body to the fifth step, it could still strengthen his spirit body and increase his poison resistance.
"Bloodlight Ocean is a dangerous place even for Life and Death Kings. I don't have to fear the chaotic will as long as it's not too excessive. However, I have to be on guard against Blood Demon Kings."
Blood Demons were born from blood. They were ever-changing and had no concrete form. When facing an enemy, if they found a flaw, they would turn into a blood light and drill into one's body. Even if one had gargantuan skills, one could only die with hatred.
"However, I must obtain the Blood Crystal Flower."
With a flicker, Ye Chen turned into a sword light and entered Bloodlight Ocean.
…
Bloodlight Ocean was like a universe, boundless as far as the eye could see. It was clearly raining outside, but there was not the slightest movement inside. The sky was bright red, and the ground was covered by blood Qi currents. The blood Qi currents were bobbing up and down, like an unceasingly flowing blood ocean. This ocean was even emitting a blood radiance.
"What a powerful law!"
As soon as Ye Chen entered Bloodlight Ocean, he immediately felt his body sink several dozen meters. The pressure and gravitational force acting on his body were a hundred times that of the outside world.
As for his soul power, it could only spread several dozen li.
"Fortunately, this Bloodlight Ocean differs from person to person. The rules are not rigid."
Bloodlight Ocean adjusted the pressure according to one's cultivation base. For example, if Ye Chen was at the peak of the third layer, the pressure would be a hundred times. However, if it were a Life and Death King, the pressure would be a thousand times. Thus, the gap between the two did not widen, remaining within the same range.
Otherwise, a hundred times pressure would be nothing to Life and Death Kings. They could still fly at high speed, and Ye Chen couldn't catch up to them. However, they could easily catch up to Ye Chen.
Swish!
The blood Qi currents condensed, and a blood light pounced at Ye Chen.
"Die!"
Ye Chen pointed his finger, and a sword light shattered the blood light. The Destruction Sword Intent prevented the blood light from condensing again.
Flying close to the ground, Ye Chen flew toward the depths of Bloodlight Ocean.
…
A day passed, and Ye Chen had a rough understanding of Bloodlight Ocean's details.
The blood demons of Bloodlight Ocean were usually hidden within the blood Qi currents. Once someone approached and triggered the blood Qi currents, they would turn into blood light and attack crazily. If one's luck was bad, and the blood Qi currents triggered happened to be the blood demon's body, one would be in for a miserable time, having their flesh and blood sucked dry.
Ye Chen had encountered it once. Fortunately, it was only an ordinary Blood Demon General, which was equivalent to a Sea of Soul realm expert. Moreover, Ye Chen's Destruction Sword Intent and Immortal Sword Intent were its bane. The consequences could be easily imagined.
"Worthy of being called Bloodlight Ocean. It's too dangerous."
Amidst the blood Qi currents, Ye Chen sighed. Bloodlight Ocean was filled with blood Qi currents. In other words, there could be blood demons hidden everywhere. Encountering blood demons below the Blood Demon King realm was fine, but encountering a Blood Demon King, even Ye Chen would be in mortal danger. After all, he couldn't release his Sword Domain and sword intent all the time.
Rumble!
An earth-shattering explosion could be heard from the front.
"Battle of Kings!"
Ye Chen's eyes squinted.
"Let's go take a look. I'll be on guard in the future."
The dangers of Bloodlight Ocean were not only visible, but also hidden. Ye Chen didn't know much about them, so he had to learn more to strengthen his survivability.
The battlefield was quite far away, so Ye Chen followed the energy ripples.
Not wanting to get too close, Ye Chen stopped far away.
"Open!"
The vertical silver eye on his forehead opened, and Ye Chen looked over with his soul eye.
In his line of sight, three figures were engaged in a fierce battle. Boundless energy swept out in all directions, sweeping away the blood Qi currents and clearing out an empty space.
Of these three figures, two were clearly from the same group. One wielded a spear and was a human King. The other had transformed into a demonic monkey and was a Beast King. The last one had a blood Qi current around his body, and his eyes were blood-red.
"It's really a Hetero Blood Demon King!"
Bloodlight Ocean's chaotic will would have a greater influence on the intruder. If one couldn't endure the invasion of the chaotic will, they would lose their nature and turn into a berserk demon. As time passed, they would suffer the invasion of the blood Qi and slowly be transformed into a Hetero Blood Demon, whose danger was no less than that of a Blood Demon.
It should be known that Bloodlight Ocean had existed for countless years. Countless Kings had entered and been transformed into Hetero Blood Demon Kings by the chaotic will and blood Qi. More importantly, according to the observations of observant people, the lifespan of Hetero Blood Demon Kings far exceeded a thousand years. As for how long they could live, it was hard to say.
Thus, even if they didn't meet a Blood Demon King, they would still die if they met a Mutant Blood Demon King. Perhaps they weren't peak Kings when they were alive because peak Kings wouldn't be affected by the chaotic intent. However, there was another possibility, and that was that a powerful King might not have a strong intent, but his cultivation was ridiculously strong.
