Understanding the reason why Little Demon, Achou, and Ayuan teamed up to deceive him, Ye Zhen couldn’t help but feel amused.
The trio chose to conceal possible infiltration methods from Ye Zhen mainly because Little Demon believed that the depths of this Blood Light Field, especially where the blood light became evidently thicker, were extremely dangerous.
Fearing that Ye Zhen might encounter danger, they decided not to inform him, hoping to use this method to steer him away from danger.
“Little Demon, do you think I’m such a single-minded fool?” Ye Zhen put on a stern face.
Little Demon, with her arms crossed, gave Ye Zhen a big eye roll, signifying that he was indeed such a fool.
With Little Demon’s good intentions, Ye Zhen couldn’t really scold her, so he patiently explained, “Little Demon, don’t worry. I will definitely protect myself at critical moments. As for those reckless heroic acts you imagine, when have I ever done that?”
“Really?” Little Demon blinked.
“Really!”
Ye Zhen nodded heavily.
Actually, Ye Zhen understood Little Demon’s concerns.
The kind of reckless heroism Little Demon imagined was not something Ye Zhen would do.
However, there were things that Ye Zhen felt compelled to do to the best of his ability.
Otherwise, his conscience would be uneasy for a lifetime.
Do your best!
No regrets!
That was Ye Zhen’s current bottom line.
After convincing Little Demon, the leader of the group, Ye Zhen’s gaze abruptly turned to the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit, Achou, “Achou, your turn now. How exactly should I cooperate?”
“Lord Ye, the smaller the target, the better. Moreover, the more realistic, the better. It would be best to condense a wisp of true Blood Qi from the War Soul Blood Flag and hand it over to me to use the Origin Mirage Qi of the Ancient Mirage Dragon to maintain consistency with the surrounding environment and aura.” The Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou, for once, looked serious.
“Like this?”
Ye Zhen frowned in thought for a few moments and then took action.
Moments later, a trace of blood light silently flowed toward the layers of intensely red, blood-colored area ahead.
Upon entering that obvious boundary, Ye Zhen sensed at least eleven powerful Divine Senses sweeping over this flowing Blood Qi.
Evident was the rigor of the defense.
Ye Zhen managed to infiltrate successfully.
However, during the infiltration, his heart was in his throat.
Because, although Ye Zhen had a few Mysterious Divine Skills and Secret Techniques, he lacked the ability to become intangible.
Ye Zhen’s Innate Five Elements Divine Escape required the power of the Five Elements to perform.
Fortunately, within this Blood Light Field, although ninety-nine percent consisted of Blood Qi and other negative forces, there was ultimately a small portion of Earth Spiritual Power mixed in, given its subterranean location.
Ye Zhen then performed the Innate Five Elements Divine Escape, vanishing into a speck of dust and then used the War Soul Blood Flag to condense a wisp of formed Blood Qi, enveloping the speck of dust and merging into the endless Blood Light Field.
Then, naturally, the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou used the Origin Mirage Qi of the Ancient Mirage Dragon to blend Ye Zhen with the surrounding environment and Blood Qi, allowing for constant movement.
Fortunately, the Demon Clan Dao Realm Demon Lords guarding the depths of this Blood Light Field didn’t pay much attention to the minuscule Blood Qi constantly moving around.
Their Soul Divine Thought scanning was just routine; otherwise, anomalies could have been discovered.
Successfully infiltrating the depths of this intensely red Blood Light Field, Ye Zhen, along with the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou, meticulously blended into the crimson Blood Qi and slowly advanced.
Before long, Ye Zhen saw the scene depicted in the Shadow Capture Jade Slip that Second Grand Power Sacrifice Tongna had shown during a previous meeting.
A formation passage extending into the distance, filled with Blood Qi, resembling gigantic blood vessels and covered in Ancient Formation Patterns.
Upon closer inspection, this formation passage was far more striking than the depiction in the Shadow Capture Jade Slip.
With caution, Ye Zhen spent nearly three hours investigating this crimson Blood Light area.
Compared to earlier discoveries by Gou Ruoxu and Yues Cang, Ye Zhen didn’t find anything new.
However, Ye Zhen noticed another layer of Blood Light Field below, where the blood light was even more intense.
The lower Blood Light Field had a faint hint of black.
Under the incredibly dense blood light condition, this layer of the entire Blood Light Field had already turned black-red.
Without hesitation, Ye Zhen had the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit Achou cooperate with him once more and charged toward the black-red Blood Light Field.
“Be careful, Father!” Little Demon wisely refrained from disrupting Ye Zhen, offering only a cautionary remark.
Upon entering the black-red Blood Light Field, five extraordinarily powerful Primordial Spirit Auras swept over abruptly, causing Ye Zhen’s heart to tighten to its extreme.
Ye Zhen knew that there might be something exceptional below; if discovered now, it would be all over.
But it was also because the Origin Mirage Qi of the Ancient Mirage Dragon was extraordinary, or perhaps the Demon Clan Dao Realm guardians here never conceived that anyone could infiltrate in such a manner, that they did not maintain high vigilance against the constantly interacting Blood Qi.
Slowly moving, the further down he went, the more the black-red Blood Light Field shrank, and countless mysterious and complex Ancient Formation Patterns began to emerge.
Suddenly, Ye Zhen’s pupils shrank sharply. Within this black-red third layer of the Blood Light Field, there was actually a passageway extending outwards.
This is undoubtedly a discovery of great significance.
Because this indicates that the Mysterious Blood Light Formation’s array might not just be one layer; there could be another layer.
Alternatively, the passageway here might be the origin of the Mysterious Blood Light Formation’s array, or perhaps...
No matter what, it is absolutely a significant discovery.
If this scenario were recorded on Spirit Shadow and given to the Supreme Elders like Wuy Lian, who are skilled in formations, it would surely have research value.
However, as Ye Zhen sees it, most of the Ancient Formation Patterns in the passageway of the second layer of the Blood Light Field were unrecognizable, so recording the scenario in the passageway of the third layer does not hold much practical value.
Ye Zhen still wanted to explore further and see if he could make any valuable discoveries.
Fortunately, regarding this third layer of the Blood Light Field, though the Demon Clan’s defense was tight, it was all directed outwards; rarely did any Primal Spirit Divine Sense of the Demon Clan Dao Realm sweep through the interior.
This allowed Ye Zhen to follow those black-red Blood Qi deeper, slowly approaching one of the passageways.
Suddenly, the sound of rushing water entered Ye Zhen’s ears and Divine Sense perception.
This startled Ye Zhen greatly—where could the sound of flowing water be coming from here?
Upon closer inspection, Ye Zhen was shocked to discover that the rushing sound of water actually originated from the passageway in front of him, densely patterned with countless mysterious and complex Ancient Formation Patterns.
The sound of the water turned out to be from the black-red Blood Qi condensing directly into ultra-thick liquid blood, making the sound of flowing.
Even more astonishingly, this Blood Qi, condensed into dense, overwhelmingly negative liquid blood, is not flowing toward the center of the mysterious formation under Laiyang Fortress.
Instead, it is flowing away from the central mysterious formation under Laiyang Fortress, through a passageway, to a distant place.
Such pure liquid Blood Qi, capable of creating a Demon Tribe of Realm King Realm with just a few hundred drops, where is it flowing to?
What purpose does it serve?
Gathered at the final destination, accumulating such pure liquid Blood Qi, what are they planning to do?
Within an instant, countless questions flooded Ye Zhen’s mind.
His Divine Sense stirred, and Ye Zhen decided to follow this liquid Blood Qi and delve deeper.
But just upon nearing it, a pungent rancid stench and odor of blood rushed to his mind, and Ye Zhen momentarily lost consciousness, nearly exposing himself.
Pulling himself together, Ye Zhen still wanted to delve further but was horrified to find that despite having the protection of the War Soul Blood Flag, this condensed pure Blood Qi still greatly affected him.
The liquid Blood Qi, with incredible permeability, was infiltrating Ye Zhen’s body, staining his Divine Sense.
Under normal circumstances, the Thunderclap Power within Ye Zhen and the Wish Power of All Living Beings are the nemeses of these negative forces, easily able to eliminate the negative power trying to taint his Qi.
However, Ye Zhen was currently in an infiltration state; once he uses those powers to resist, he’ll be immediately exposed, attracting numerous Demon Lords of Dao Realm.
Inside Ye Zhen, the Little Demon was already shivering under the infiltration of the negative aura emitted by the rancid liquid Blood Qi.
As a life-filled Yimu Elf, the Little Demon instinctively opposed and feared such negative forces.
In other words, under normal circumstances, Ye Zhen could no longer explore further.
Moreover, Ye Zhen was well aware that further exploration would increase the danger exponentially.
Under the infiltration of such dense liquid Blood Qi, even Ye Zhen was unsure if the War Soul Blood Flag could protect several treasures from contamination.
A single mishap could lead to death and oblivion.
Quickly, Ye Zhen made an incredibly wise decision!
Leave!
However, before leaving, Ye Zhen must record this situation with the Shadow Capture Jade Slip.
This bizarre passageway resembling a worm is indescribable, and even more so with the vast and complex Ancient Formation Patterns and numerous peculiar lines within the passageway—it simply couldn’t be described clearly with words.
Only by using the Shadow Capture Jade Slip to record everything and carry it back could Ye Zhen’s exploration today hold research value.
Otherwise, all he could bring back would be alarm, fear, and the unknown.
“Achou, I’m going to activate the Shadow Capture Jade Slip, cooperate with me carefully!”
With a low shout in his Divine Soul, Ye Zhen cautiously activated a piece of Shadow Capture Jade Slip, then, from near to far, he meticulously prepared to record everything within the passageway, including the sound of rushing water.
But merely two breaths later, a violent Primal Spirit Divine Thought that Ye Zhen was not unfamiliar with suddenly swept in this direction.
The moment this violent Primal Spirit Divine Thought swept over, it directly triggered a storm of Blood Qi here in the black-red Blood Qi.
This Blood Qi storm not only interrupted Ye Zhen’s recording of the Shadow Capture Jade Slip but also directly exposed Ye Zhen, who was holding the Shadow Capture Jade Slip.
“I knew, I knew you would definitely come back, guarding here for so many days, finally waiting for you!” The sinister laugh suddenly echoed!
