There seemed to be an inexplicable calling for Chen Zong to approach and step into the calm blood pool.
Chen Zong did not act rashly. He walked to the edge of the blood pool and resisted the calling that was getting stronger and stronger.
This should be the deepest part of the cave. He had also found 20 Blood Essence Stones, which were equivalent to 2,000 merit points. It was a great harvest.
However, Chen Zong felt that there must be treasures in the blood pool. He also had an inexplicable feeling that the consequences of entering the blood pool would be unpredictable.
As his thoughts raced, Chen Zong took a step back. Instantly, a beam of blood-colored light shot out from the blood pool without any warning. It was incomparably swift, resembling a long whip. It viciously tore through the air, forming a circle as it shot towards Chen Zong.
This attack contained two different types of power: a direct attack and a twisting one. It was a perfect combination, cutting off all of Chen Zong's escape routes.
In the face of danger, Chen Zong did not panic. He unsheathed the Huanzhen Sharp Sword at his waist and gently flicked and stabbed at a point on the blood-red whip. It was as if he had hit the weak spot of a snake. The blood-red whip suddenly trembled, as if it had lost all of its power and became soft.
Chen Zong took advantage of this opportunity to speed up his retreat. However, the whip seemed to have been injected with new power. It suddenly bounced and pierced through the air like a sharp sword.
It was fast and fierce, like a blood-red meteor piercing through the air. It also carried an extremely strange aura, which made Chen Zong feel a great threat. His face turned serious.
He unsheathed the Huanzhen Sharp Sword on his back and chopped down directly at the tip of the blood-red whip. However, the whip was extremely agile. It dodged Chen Zong's attack and circled around the back of the sword. Its speed increased, and it stabbed at Chen Zong's heart. It wanted to pierce through his heart.
For no reason, Chen Zong felt his heart palpitate.
His two swords circled and slashed. Two beautiful sword lights crossed each other and sealed all of the blood-red whip's changes.
Suddenly, a group of figures broke out of the blood pool, carrying a dense bloody light. They shot toward Chen Zong like four arrows.
At a glance, Chen Zong felt that the four figures looked familiar. However, the four figures had already approached him. Their terrifying killing intent swept over Chen Zong, making him shiver all over.
Chen Zong swung his two swords in a circle to block the attack of the four blood-red lights. The blood-red long whip was like a viper that was waiting for an opportunity to strike. It slithered through the blind spots and pierced through Chen Zong's back toward his heart.
A pincer attack from five sides increased the pressure on Chen Zong.
However, Chen Zong's figure flashed and was swept away by a burst of illusory light. Then, he disappeared from where he stood.
"Why are you guys here?" After dodging all the attacks, Chen Zong also clearly saw the four figures that were suffused with blood-red light. His expression suddenly changed greatly.
The four people were the four who had entered the cave with him not long ago. They were all core disciples of the Tai Yuan Heaven Sect.
They had entered the cave with him not long ago and had only separated at the first fork. Now, they had become like this. Covered in bloody light, their faces were cold, and their eyes were indifferent. It was as if they did not recognize Chen Zong.
It felt like they were four puppets.
The four people were completely under his control. Regardless of what Chen Zong was thinking, they launched another attack.
Although these four people were the core disciples of their respective mountains, the strongest among them had only reached the first level. They were no match for Chen Zong at all. However, they had become even more powerful after being enveloped by the blood-red light. At the very least, their strength had increased by thirty percent.
Even so, they were still no match for Chen Zong.
Under the two swords, the four people were repelled one after another. They were all core disciples of the Tai Yuan Heaven Sect and had never had any conflicts with each other. Naturally, Chen Zong would not kill them at once.
However, the four people who were knocked back were not hurt at all. The bloody light around them blocked all the attacks for them.
They pounced again, and the bloody long whip was waiting for an opportunity to attack.
"Dark Strike!"
Chen Zong swung his sword. The Minor Sword Intent was integrated with three Sword Intents. The grayish-white sword light with traces of red tore the sky apart and broke the bloody long whip.
The other sword drew an arc in the air, once again pushing back the four figures and scattering the blood-red light on their bodies.
Taking advantage of the situation, Chen Zong attacked again with his sword. The invisible sword energy penetrated into the four people's bodies and destroyed their strength. They could not attack again for a while.
However, something strange happened. Two more people broke out of the blood pool at a faster speed. The bloody light around them was more than twice as strong as before. They were like two bloody meteors.
Boom!
In an instant, they collided. The two bloody lights were knocked back. Chen Zong was also knocked back. His two swords were trembling and his arms were slightly numb.
Strong!
Very strong!
They were at least of the Second Level.
The bloody light was very strong. However, at the moment of collision, Chen Zong also saw the faces of the two people. One was a middle-aged man, and the other was an old man. They were both unfamiliar faces.
The two people landed on the ground and rushed toward Chen Zong at an even faster speed.
Dark Strike!
Since he did not know them, Chen Zong would not be polite. His two swords pierced through the air. The sword light tore the sky apart and attacked the two people at the same time.
Chen Zong had also made some adjustments to the Dark Strike. He strengthened and weakened the Minor Sword Intent according to the characteristics of the sword itself. However, its power was not weakened. Instead, it became stronger.
The bloody light around the two people was broken. The sharp swords left two sword marks on their bodies. They were so deep that their bones could be seen.
However, the two people did not seem to feel anything. They rushed toward Chen Zong again without fear of death.
Chen Zong frowned slightly. If that was the case, then they could not blame him for killing them.
Edge of Dark Jade!
The sword pierced through the air and cut through the bloody light around the two people again. It was irresistible. The sword cut through the two people's bodies and cut them in half. However, there was no blood. It was as if the blood in their bodies had already disappeared.
Edge of Dark Jade, there was nothing it could not cut.
No matter how strong the two people were, their bodies could not be reconnected after being cut in half. Chen Zong held his swords with both hands. A sharp aura surrounded his body. It was as if countless swords were cutting back and forth. His eyes were sharp and cold as he stared at the blood pool.
"Come out." His tone was cold and solemn. It was like the sound of metal clashing.
Chen Zong was sure that there must be something in the blood pool. Something special. It might be a human, or it might not be a human.
Chen Zong's voice fell, but the blood pool did not move.
Chen Zong shook his swords. Dozens of swords broke through the air and rushed toward the sky. They drew beautiful trajectories and reached dozens of meters in the air. Then, they fell like meteors.
Chen Zong frowned and narrowed his eyes.
Suddenly, bubbles appeared on the surface of the blood pool, making gurgling sounds. As the bubbles popped, the blood pool began to emit scarlet light.
Chen Zong's face became more and more serious. He felt an evil aura slowly spreading from the bubbling blood pool. It was as if some kind of evil was awakening.
Immediately, all the red light contracted to the center. A huge blood-colored bubble quietly appeared. It did not burst. Instead, it flew up and suspended above the blood pool. A figure could be vaguely seen inside.
As the huge blood-colored bubble appeared, the evil aura became more and more intense. It made Chen Zong feel uneasy.
His eyes narrowed as he stared at the figure in the blood-colored bubble.
Suddenly, the blood-colored bubble shrank rapidly and was absorbed by the figure. The figure, which looked a little thin, seemed to become fuller, like a balloon being blown up. The evil aura also became stronger. A chilly wind whistled, causing the temperature in the cave to drop a lot.
When the blood-colored bubble was completely absorbed, a figure appeared clearly in front of Chen Zong. It was suspended above the blood pool.
He was only wearing a pair of blood-red bloomers. A blood-red cloak hung naturally on his shoulders. His hair was like weeds. His face was skinny. His sunken eye sockets made his eyes look deeper and darker, like the eyes of an evil ghost. His cheeks were sunken and his cheekbones were prominent. His upper body, which was not covered by clothes, was also skinny. The ribs on both sides were clearly visible.
His skinny arms were covered with blood-red wrist guards covered with strange patterns, similar to those on the cloak on his back and the bloomers on his lower body. These patterns were very strange, like some kind of symbol.
Putting aside his eyes and his blood-red attire, he looked like a starving refugee. However, Chen Zong definitely did not think so because the aura this person was emitting was incomparably evil, something he had never seen before in his life.
Moreover, this kind of aura seemed to be even stronger than a pseudo Transcendent.
[Transcendent Realm!]
[This is a Transcendent Realm master!]
Chen Zong's heart couldn't help sinking.
His current strength was indeed quite good. Among the pseudo Transcendent Realm, he could be considered one of the best, but compared with a real Transcendent Realm master, there was still a clear gap. This was a fundamental difference, like the difference between a firefly and a bright moon, or the difference between a kitten and a big tiger.
"Lowly bug, you actually dared to wake me up." The gloomy voice was extremely hoarse, like two pieces of metal rubbing against each other, causing Chen Zong's eardrums to feel uncomfortable.
Immediately, the figure landed on top of the blood pool and stared at him with sunken eyes, causing Chen Zong's body to involuntarily tighten, as if he was being bound by an invisible force. A chill uncontrollably emerged from the depths of his heart and instantly spread throughout his body, causing Chen Zong to feel cold and numb, as if his vitality and strength had become sluggish, almost solidifying.
[Terrifying!]
[Incomparably terrifying!]
Compared to any other Limiteer Chen Zong had encountered before, the feeling Chen Zong felt was far more terrifying. Even Xia Yuanshan had not given him such a creepy feeling.
It was like a kind of suppression, an indescribable suppression that had nothing to do with strength.
Suppressing the chill and fear that continued to emerge in his heart, Chen Zong gripped his swords tightly and asked, "Who are you?"
"I … weak insect, are you asking about this Demon Envoy's identity?" The gloomy voice sounded again, "This Demon Envoy is one of the Demon Envoys under the Blood Foam Banner of Heaven Ancient Demon Temple. Your vitality is very vigorous, actually Pure Yang. If I absorb your vitality, this Demon Envoy will be able to recover more of his strength."
The moment he finished speaking, the Demon Envoy waved his hand, and the blood-red cloak behind him fluttered as if it was blown by a gust of wind. A ray of blood-red light shot towards Chen Zong like a bird.
