Upon hearing Wang Ruoxie's words, Youyou snorted coldly but said nothing more.

She naturally knew that if they split up at this time, they would be at a disadvantage.

Tang Miaoyin was Wang Ruoxie's senior sister, so naturally she wouldn't separate, and Qin Heng came to protect Tang Miaoyin, so he clearly wouldn't leave them either.

Qin Heng was the strongest of them all, and only by closely following him would they be safer.

Moreover, at this moment, Youyou already had strange feelings for Qin Heng in her heart, and naturally didn't want to separate.

Without further delay, the group continued to move deeper into the Underground Blood Cave.

About half an hour later, the group arrived at a fairly spacious cavern.

At that moment, the cavern had already gathered quite a few people.

In front of them was a river of blood.

Although the Blood River wasn't very wide, they dared not cross it lightly, for they could all sense the terrifying aura emanating from it.

Clearly, even if the Blood River Water wasn't real blood, it certainly contained a terrifying power.

In fact, before Wang Ruoxie and the others arrived, some had tried to cross the river, but were ultimately devoured by it, leaving no trace.

Martial Cultivators in the Element Transformation Realm could leap through the air using Body Technique Martial Techniques, even walk on water, but still couldn't perform Sky-controlling Flight.

If it were an ordinary river, it wouldn't stop them, but this Blood River was extremely peculiar. Once touched by the Blood River Water, one would instantly fall into the river, becoming part of it in moments.

"Thud!"

As Wang Ruoxie approached the edge of the Blood River, his heart skipped a beat.

More accurately, the Blood God Essence Blood within his heart suddenly trembled.

Instantly, a feeling of desire arose in Wang Ruoxie, almost compelling him to jump into the Blood River.

"This Blood River Water must be useful to me."

Wang Ruoxie thought to himself, understanding that this was due to the Blood God Essence Blood sensing the dense blood energy contained within the Blood River Water.

However, with so many people around, it wasn't convenient for him to attempt it just yet.

"Everyone, though the Blood River Water is fearsome, it isn't completely uncrossable."

At this moment, a middle-aged man at the Fifth Layer of Element Transformation Realm addressed the crowd.

"Sir, how can we cross it?"

A young man at the Third Layer of Element Transformation Realm asked the middle-aged man.

"It's simple, as long as your body is strong enough to withstand the corrosion of the Blood River Water."

The middle-aged man smiled slightly and replied.

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes paused slightly, secretly thinking to themselves that this was obvious, if their bodies could withstand the corrosion, they would have crossed already.

"As far as I know, this Blood River is not deep. If someone could withstand the corrosion of the Blood River Water and stand in the center, we could leverage their shoulders to cross directly."

The man spoke again.

"Good idea."

"That is indeed feasible."

Everyone nodded in agreement.

With their strength, they only needed a single boost to cross the Blood River.

However, none knew if their bodies could endure the Blood River Water's corrosion, so naturally, they dared not attempt it lightly.

Everyone was well aware that a failed attempt meant certain death.

"Is anyone brave enough to try? If successful, I, Jin He, will reward handsomely."

The middle-aged man looked at the crowd, asking aloud.

"I'll give it a try, I don't believe this Blood River Water is that terrifying."

A middle-aged man at the Fourth Layer of Element Transformation Realm suddenly charged forward, jumping straight into the Blood River.

His body stood silently, the Blood River Water only reaching his chest, proving Jin He right—the Blood River wasn't deep.

The man's face turned ashen, veins bulging, True Qi flaring wildly, clearly resisting the Blood River Water's corrosion.

"Ah!"

Just as everyone thought he might succeed, a scream erupted from his mouth, and his entire body suddenly exploded, his blood and flesh falling and melding into the Blood River, becoming part of it.

"What a terrifying Blood River Water."

Witnessing this, everyone's pupils contracted, faces filled with horror.

Even someone at the Fourth Layer of Element Transformation Realm couldn't withstand the corrosion of the Blood River Water, for those with lower Cultivation, a touch of the water would surely lead to death.

Zhou Lun, Youyou, and others also showed fear on their faces, not expecting the Underground Blood Cave to be so perilous.

First, they encountered numerous Blood Demons, and without the help of one of the Ten Great Young Masters, Qin Heng, they might have already perished.

Now, a dreadful Blood River blocked their path; unless they were seeking death, they dared not attempt to cross.

"Let's turn back, this Blood River is impossible to cross."

Zhou Lun said to the crowd.

Their faces showed hesitation at these words; turning back now meant returning from the Underground Blood Cave empty-handed.

"Brother Qin, is there anything we can do?"

Youyou looked at Qin Heng and asked.

"With my current strength, I can't withstand the corrosion of the Blood River Water, but if I breakthrough to the Sixth Layer of Element Transformation Realm, I would have a seventy percent chance."

Qin Heng shook his head slightly, replying.

Youyou and the others, hearing this, began to feel the desire to retreat. Since not even Qin Heng could withstand the Blood River Water, they had no hope.

"Who else wants to try?"

Jin He's voice came again.

Everyone remained silent; though many were unafraid of death, they didn't want to die meaninglessly.

"I'd like to try."

Then suddenly, a voice caught everyone's attention, prompting them to look toward its source.

The speaker was a roughly sixteen-year-old youth, wearing a long, white robe. His handsome face still held some childishness, yet his deep eyes gave off a sense of maturity, as if seasoned by life events.

It was Wang Ruoxie, dressed in casual attire. While venturing with Tang Miaoyin, they avoided wearing the Celestial Sword Sect's Disciple Robe to avoid unnecessary attention and trouble.

"Wang Ruoxie, don't be reckless."

Tang Miaoyin's expression shifted slightly as she said to Wang Ruoxie, "Though you are strong, with your Cultivation, it's impossible to resist the Blood River Water's corrosion."

Typically, the higher the Cultivation, the stronger a Martial Cultivator's body becomes.

Yet Wang Ruoxie was merely at the First Layer of Element Transformation Realm, barely having broken through, so how could his body withstand the Blood River Water?

"Rest assured, I'm a hundred percent confident."

Wang Ruoxie smiled lightly at Tang Miaoyin, saying.

He already wanted to enter the Blood River to see if the Blood River Water could be absorbed and refined, but didn't attempt it initially to avoid drawing attention to his anomaly.

Now was the perfect opportunity to enter the Blood River openly, which he eagerly embraced.

"Ignorant fool, even Brother Qin can't withstand the Blood River Water now, and even after breaking through to the Sixth Layer, he'd only have a seventy percent chance. Yet you, at the mere First Layer, claim you're a hundred percent confident?"

Youyou sneered at this, her eyes showing disdain as she spoke.
