Standing in the shadows, Lin Bai and the other three saw countless Blood Fiends stirring restlessly in the underground world ahead, and the entire place echoed with the strange cries of the Blood Fiends.
Hu Qi said coldly, "Did you notice, they all seem to be surrounding those nine blood-red pillars!"
"What are those things?"
At this moment, Lin Bai focused his eyes and saw in the underground world before him, there were nine towering blood-red pillars, each about ten thousand meters high, or more accurately, they were crystal stones emitting a red glow.
All the Blood Fiends surrounded those nine blood-red pillars.
Lin Bai whispered, "Giant’s Blood Crystals! This is also the birthplace of their life!"
Ning whispered, "There are millions of Blood Fiends here, how many Blood Fiends could there be in such a vast underground world?"
After hearing this, Lin Bai looked up and noticed there was no giant’s head at the top.
At this moment, Lin Bai said, "I don’t know, but I know this place is definitely not the main base of the Blood Fiends!"
"In the main base of the Blood Fiends, there should be another corpse lying around!"
"A decapitated Giant’s corpse!"
Lin Bai whispered.
Back at the Miracle Ridge when Lin Bai encountered Qinghe, he learned that Qinghe had slain the Giant and chopped off its head, and the Giant’s corpse had fallen into this underground world. It was for this reason that so many Blood Fiends could be born here!
And now, what Lin Bai and the other three had found was merely nine blood-red pillars formed from the Giant’s blood, with no trace of the Giant’s corpse.
So that means there must be other Blood Fiends here, and they are controlling the Giant’s corpse!
"Heh heh heh heh..."
"Ha ha ha ha..."
As Lin Bai and the other three hid in the shadows, observing the commotion in this place.
Suddenly, strange laughter echoed around the four of them.
Lin Bai and the others immediately became alert.
"They have discovered us," Yin Jiuling whispered.
Lin Bai unsheathed the Demonic Sword, Hu Qi took out a cleaver, and Ning drew the Iron Sword, coldly scanning the surroundings.
"Sky-swallowing Clan members, long time no see!"
"Reincarnation Child, Hell Messenger, how have you been!"
A voice laced with laughter reverberated through the air.
At this moment, Lin Bai saw the originally docile Blood Fiends in the underground world ahead suddenly look towards their hiding place, slowly approaching.
"They’re coming!" Ning said coldly, gripping the Iron Sword tightly.
The voice said, "Don’t be nervous, today is not the day for the final battle!"
"I want to meet you, Sky-swallowing Clan members, Reincarnation Child."
At this point, the Blood Fiends in the underground world parted to open a path, leading to an unknown place.
Lin Bai coldly said, "He wants to meet me."
"You guys go back and wait for me, I’ll go meet him."
Lin Bai immediately stepped out from the shadows, ready to proceed forward.
Yin Jiuling followed closely behind, whispering, "The one he wants to meet is not just you, but also me!"
Ning and Hu Qi stepped forward, saying, "We already said, even if it’s the Ghost Gate Pass today, we will go together!"
Lin Bai glanced at the three, expressionless, and said, "Then be careful, all of you."
Upon saying this, the four of them emerged from the shadows, entered the underground world, and started walking along the path cleared by the Blood Fiends, moving slowly forward.
The Blood Fiends on both sides bared their teeth and growled at Lin Bai and the others, with some even drooling.
Lin Bai and the others passed through this dark space, entered another passageway, and continued walking ahead. The Blood Fiends in front continued to make way for Lin Bai and his team, allowing them to race smoothly through this underground world.
Before long, Lin Bai and the others arrived at a more expansive underground world.
Here, the world was filled with red blood pillars rising from the sky.
Lin Bai looked up, seeing over ten thousand red blood pillars here, and the countless Blood Fiends.
In the very center of this underground realm, on the ground, lay a corpse on the verge of decay.
This corpse, towering over a hundred meters, though now near decay, still displayed robust muscles, and from the shattered remains emitted waves of terrifying power.
Yet this corpse was headless!
Countless Blood Fiends surrounded the Giant’s body.
At this moment, floating above the Giant’s body, on a bronze Dragon Throne sat a coldly smiling old man, looking at Lin Bai and the others approaching.
Lin Bai and the others also looked at this old man, focusing their gaze on him.
The old man stood up from the bronze Dragon Throne, smiling as he said, "Welcome to my Blood Fiends’ territory, allow me to introduce myself, I am the leader of the Blood Fiends in this realm, you may call me...the Blood Fiend King!"
"And as for you four!"
"I only recognize two of you!"
"One is you, member of the Sky-swallowing Clan!"
"The other is you, Reincarnation Child!"
The Blood Fiend King looked at Lin Bai and Yin Jiuling and said.
Lin Bai took a deep breath and said, "You’ve actually gained Spiritual Wisdom?"
The Blood Fiend King, smiling at Lin Bai, said, "Sky-swallowing Clan member, my birth precedes yours by many years, is there anything wrong with me attaining Spiritual Wisdom? Although the Blood Fiends are merely mutant forms after the Giant’s death, incapable of cultivation, we can inherit some of the Giant’s power!"
"Yet, if we spend some time, we can still enhance our wisdom."
Lin Bai said, "You wanted to see us, and here we are!"
The Blood Fiend King looked at Lin Bai and softly said, "Do you know? Ever since we were born, the only thought in our mind is to completely annihilate all Sky-swallowing Clan members under Heaven, which is the purpose of our birth, our sole mission."
"So you, without a doubt, must die!"
The Blood Fiend King said, looking at Lin Bai.
At this moment, the Blood Fiends around began to bare their teeth at Lin Bai.
Ning and Yin Jiuling instantly shielded Lin Bai, coldly gazing around.
The Blood Fiend King said softly, "However...you can rest assured today, I don’t intend to kill you today!"
"Qinghe’s sealing is about to vanish, and for me, everything in this world will be within reach!"
The Blood Fiend King said with utmost delight.
"Sky-swallowing Clan member, I know what you’re thinking. You came here simply to find out exactly how many Blood Fiends there are!"
"I can tell you directly!"
"Here, the Blood Fiends number around two hundred million..."
"Although we cannot cultivate, we inherit much of the Giant’s power. Our strength mostly starts at the Divine Elixir Realm, with over ten thousand Blood Fiends comparable to the Wending Realm!"
"Even in the Taoist Realm, there are over a hundred Blood Fiends!"
"In this world, there are hardly any beings that can contend with us!"
The Blood Fiend King chuckled lightly as he spoke, "So, I advise you not to exhaust further efforts!"
