(I have something to do, no updates tonight)
"Senior, is that hole the exit?" Miao Yi asked from behind.
"This is the Blood Demon's magic treasure, the Blood Gourd. It can control the Blood Demon Array to devour others. When the Blood Demon fought my senior apprentice-brother, my senior apprentice-brother sliced off the mouth of the gourd, leaving a flaw in the magic treasure and preventing it from sealing the exit. When the array closes, the last place it closes is definitely the exit. I took a gamble and didn't expect to block it correctly. Now, we have to chase after the exit. Once we are completely hidden in the vast blood sea, it will be difficult to find the exit again. We will definitely be trapped in the Blood Demon Array. With our abilities, we won't be able to get out.
As soon as Zhongli Kuai finished speaking, a few more blood pythons drilled out of the sea of blood. They opened their bloody mouths and bared their fangs as they swept their pillar-like bodies and pounced over ferociously.
Zhongli Kuai quickly turned his fingers into claws as he used his Driving Sword Fingers. The flying sword beneath his feet surged up and into his hand. With one hand, he dragged Miao Yi along, while the other wielded his sword and slashed rapidly.
Amidst the rumbling sounds, all the Blood Pythons pouncing at them were killed. Then, the two of them rushed out of the blood rain.
However, with this obstruction, he could no longer see the shadow of the cave's entrance. Zhongli Kuai was unwilling to give up. Holding his sword in front of him, he dragged Miao Yi along as he continued to chase after Miao Yi.
After chasing for almost two hours, the two of them were still flying in the blood sea. There was no end in sight, and the sky was filled with blood clouds.
The two of them finally stopped in midair, their eyes bloodshot. Zhongli Kuai looked around and sighed. "I'm afraid we can't get out of here."
Miao Yi, on the other hand, didn't complain at all. When he thought about how the other party had kept him company all this time and didn't abandon him, he couldn't help but sigh. "It's my fault for dragging Senior into this. If it weren't for saving me, Senior wouldn't have come all the way to the Blood Demon Star."
Now that he had taken the initiative to admit it, he no longer blamed the other party for implicating him. However, he couldn't help but ask, "Senior, why did you save me?"
Zhongli Yan waved his hand, "There's no reason why. My Skyair Palace has been established in the Bedlam Lands for countless years. Subduing evil and protecting mankind is our sect's mission. Regardless of whether you are from the Heavenly Court or not, regardless of your identity, we will save you. However, in the end, we were unable to save you. If you really want to thank me. In the future, you should do more things to avoid evil and uphold justice. As the saying goes, the devil is gone, and the path is long. The more the power of justice is, the less evil there will be. "
Miao Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry as he said, "I do want to do something to avoid evil, but I can only do that after I get out of here, right? Can Senior get out or not? "
Zhongli Kuai looked around and sighed, "This Blood Demon Formation has devoured many of my fellow disciples. With our strength, we can't get out. "
It could be said that Miao Yi had some experience in breaking formations and transcendence artifacts. It was none other than the mantis in his hand. He immediately said, "Senior, don't be discouraged. As long as it's a formation, there will definitely be a formation core. As long as we can find the formation core, we will definitely be able to break it."
Zhongli Jie said, "The blood gourd itself is the core of the formation. As long as we destroy the blood gourd, we can naturally destroy the Blood Demon Formation. But now that we're trapped in this Blood Demon Array, there's no way for us to find the Blood Gourd's main body. How do we break out of it? "He turned back and asked," Are you afraid? If you're not afraid, let's split up and see if we can find the hidden flaw of the blood gourd. "
"Alright!" Miao Yi nodded in agreement.
Seeing how decisively Miao Yi agreed without the slightest hint of fear, Zhongli Kuai couldn't help but be impressed. From this, it could be seen that Miao Yi was a man with a strong mind. He immediately reminded, "Remember. If you see the blood corpses inside, don't provoke them. Your cultivation isn't strong enough, so don't bring trouble to yourself. "
Miao Yi asked, "What blood corpses?"
Zhongli Jie said, "They're people who were taken in like us. They were refined into blood corpses by the Blood Demon Array, and are then used by the Blood Demon to control them. "
Miao Yi asked, "Could it be that the Blood Demon wants to refine us into blood corpses as well?"
Zhongli Kuai said, "With my cultivation, the blood corpses refined into blood corpses will only have the strength of Purple Lotus. You're even worse. A blood corpse like that won't be of much help to her. It's highly likely that she wants to refine us into blood pills, just as she said."
"What's a blood pill?"
"To the Blood Demon, it's something similar to an Basic Immortal Pill. However, a blood pill contains much more spiritual energy than an Basic Immortal Pill. The amount of spiritual energy it contains depends on the cultivation of the person being refined. Ordinary people won't be able to enjoy it. Once they consume it, they will definitely become a demon and be controlled by the Blood Demon. She's the only one who can enjoy it, and she relies on it to cultivate. "
"If that's the case, then wouldn't the cultivation of the people refined into blood corpses in this Blood Demon Array be above the Colored Lotus realm?"
"That's right."
Miao Yi said in shock, "Just how high is the Blood Demon's cultivation? She can even subdue a Colored Lotus realm cultivator? If that's the case, then even if we escape the Blood Demon Array, won't we still be unable to escape from her? "
Zhongli Jie raised his hand to stop him. "You're worrying too much. Even though the Blood Demon's cultivation is higher than mine, she's only at the Golden Lotus Ninth Grade. She hasn't even reached the Colored Lotus realm yet, so how can she subdue a Colored Lotus realm cultivator? This blood gourd originally belonged to the Blood Demon Ancestor. After he was killed by the Skytraversing Palace Elder, this blood gourd somehow fell into her hands, and is now under her control. Some of the blood corpses inside were left behind by the Blood Demon Ancestor all those years ago. They aren't part of her capabilities. As long as we can break this blood gourd, we still have a chance to escape. "
As he said this, he pointed at Zhongli Kuai, then pointed down. Then, he pointed at himself, then pointed up, indicating that Miao Yi would go down, and he would go up.
Miao Yi nodded in understanding, and the two of them immediately separated, flying up and down. Donning his armor once more, Miao Yi wielded his long spear and quickly dove into the sea of blood below. Even if he held his breath, he would still be able to smell the thick stench of blood. It faintly affected his mind, and he had to focus his mind to stabilize it.
It couldn't be helped. Big Bearded Man had said that the air here couldn't be breathed. Otherwise, he would die. However, to the human body, breathing wasn't just a matter of the nose and mouth. The pores on the body would also breathe without knowing it. In a moment of carelessness, he forgot to invoke his arts to seal off his pores.
Miao Yi quickly executed the Fiery Star Technique to cleanse the area. As expected, it was effective. The blood aura that had faintly seeped into his internal organs was quickly swept away, and his body and mind became clear once more.
There was one thing he couldn't deny. The Fiery Star Technique that he cultivated was indeed effective in dealing with those of the evil path. It had always been able to cure the illness.
At this moment, an idea suddenly flashed through his mind. He released the seal and tried to absorb some of the blood aura into his body.
This attempt immediately caused his mind to waver, and he became a little delirious. Most importantly, the blood aura in his body immediately became a little uncontrollable. It felt as though the blood in his body was about to leak out, as though it was about to seep out of his pores.
Miao Yi was shocked. What a powerful evil aura! No wonder Big Bearded Man had told him to hold his breath. He quickly executed the Fiery Star Technique to cleanse the area, and soon, his body and mind were once again stabilized.
After confirming that the Fiery Star Technique could restrain this evil aura, he was relieved. He continued to dive deeper into the sea of blood, and opened his transcendence vision to search around, hoping to find a cave that would lead him out.
Not long after he traveled through the sea of blood, he saw a faint light in front of him. Delighted, Miao Yi sped up and flew towards it.
Once he got out of the sea of blood, his vision suddenly became clear. He found himself standing on the surface of the sea of blood again, and the sky above him was still covered by a large expanse of blood-colored clouds.
Looking at his surroundings, he felt as though he had returned to his original place. However, there was no point of reference in this sea of blood, so he didn't know if he had returned to his original place.
The strange movement in the sky made him raise his head, and he saw a figure emerging from the blood-colored clouds. It was none other than Big Bearded Man, Zhongli Kuai.
When Zhongli Kuai saw Miao Yi below, he was also startled, and quickly flew over.
Miao Yi, who had been trapped by a similar formation more than once, smiled bitterly and said, "Senior Big Bearded Man, I'm afraid we are trapped in an infinite loop of a formation."
Zhongli Kuai nodded, "The situation inside is indeed as my Senior Brother Cheshire County said."
Miao Yi asked curiously, "Could it be that your Senior Brother was also trapped inside?"
Zhongli Kuai looked around, and nodded again.
Miao Yi was a little suspicious, "That means your Senior Brother has broken the formation and escaped. Didn't he tell you how to escape?"
Zhongli Kuai said, "My Senior Brother didn't escape because he broke the formation, but because this Blood Demon Formation couldn't do anything to him. My Senior Brother had a Heavenly Star Demonic Orb on him, which could resist the corrosion of this blood fiend. He could breathe freely in this Blood Demon Formation, and was completely unharmed even after being trapped here for three hundred years. The Blood Demon didn't notice and thought my Senior Brother had already been refined into a blood pill. When she opened the blood gourd again to absorb him, my Senior Brother took the opportunity to kill his way out. With a slash of his sword, he destroyed the stopper of the blood gourd. The Blood Demon was severely injured by my Senior Brother, and almost lost her life to my Senior Brother Cheshire County. Unfortunately, the Blood Demon's Great Blood Escape Art is too powerful, and she still managed to escape. "
Miao Yi's eyes brightened, and he stroked his chin, "So you're saying that as long as we aren't affected by the blood fiend, we'll be fine even if we're trapped here?"
Zhongli Kuai said, "Easier said than done. I can only go three days without breathing. How many days can you go? Once you breathe in here, you will be affected by the blood fiend. Not only will the blood in your body slowly seep out, even the cultivation in your art source will leak out to feed this Blood Demon Formation. If I use up too much energy in battle, I won't even be able to last three days. "
Miao Yi immediately took out a bunch of storage rings and said, "I know Senior's cultivation is profound, and you need a lot of air to breathe. Unfortunately, for safety's sake, I've condensed and stored a large amount of air. I reckon it won't be a problem for Senior to use it for a few years."
Zhongli Kuai immediately grabbed the storage rings and inspected them. After scanning through all of them, he was immediately overjoyed. It wasn't just enough for a few years, it wouldn't be a problem for him to use it for ten years. In other words, it wouldn't matter even if he was trapped here for ten years. Then, he was a little taken aback, and asked, "Kid, why did you store so much air? It should be enough for you to use it for a hundred years, right? "
Naturally, Miao Yi wouldn't tell him that he was doing this to guard against the Sorcerer Walker. He was afraid that the Sorcerer Walker would suddenly abandon him in outer space, so he made some preparations in advance. He laughed dryly and said, "It's better to be prepared. Junior's cultivation is rather low, and I'm afraid I'll get lost wandering in outer space alone. So I made some extra preparations."
Zhongli Kuai immediately laughed heartily and said, "Good preparations! Very good indeed! I did have a month's worth of air on me, and I thought it would be enough for me to go anywhere in the known regions of outer space. Who would've thought that I would be trapped here? I was still worried that I would die if I couldn't get out after a month. Now that's great. We have so much time, we can slowly think of a way out. I'll take half. You can keep the rest. We'll talk about it when it's not enough. "He reached out and grabbed half of the storage rings.
"No need. Senior, keep it. I have more with me." Miao Yi stuffed all of the storage rings into Zhongli Kuai's hands, then grabbed two more handfuls for him to see. "Junior has stored up enough for five hundred years. If Senior needs more, you can ask me."
