A bronze blood beast suddenly leapt out from the wall of fire, its sharp claws reaching for the head.

Li Cunxu glanced dismissively, not moving at all. As the claws descended, Li Cunxu's figure dissipated like a floating shadow, the blood beast striking nothing but air.

"Is it illusion?"

The blood cultist commanding the blood beast hesitantly questioned.

It indeed was an illusion technique, the skill known as Floating Rice Shadows, which allows one's figure to be projected to a distance. The downside is that the real body cannot move, a skill of the Evil Scythe Scarecrow.

Floating Rice Shadows combined with invisibility cloak can create an illusion of positioning.

Xiaoruan briefly stopped firing, and delivered a Silver Sword to the bronze blood beast attempting to ambush Li Cunxu. The Silver Sword pierced into its heart, causing instant severe injury.

The power of the Silver Sword clung to its heart, preventing the wound from healing.

The Flaming Python rampaged through the crowd, igniting blood cultists along the way, turning them into new fuel to strengthen the blood fire's blaze.

Burning Lotus Blood Fire is highly effective against blood cultists, who have no way to deal with the flames.

Finally, the blood cultists began to fear, not the Burning Lotus Blood Fire itself, but the fear that their deaths were worthless, and upon resurrection in the Scarlet Divine Kingdom, they would not be able to lift their heads among those who contributed.

The blood cultists scattered in all directions, only for the Flaming Python to quickly encircle the crowd, creating a 360-degree impenetrable circular wall of fire, leaving them nowhere to run. Only a few blood cultists managed to break through under the protection of their bronze blood beasts.

Hundreds of blood cultists perished in the sea of fire, successfully helping Li Cunxu vent all the accumulated malice within his heart.

Suddenly, Li Cunxu felt clear-minded and delighted, as though he had shed the old shackles of the past.

Xiaoruan's battle with the Flying White Horse also reached the intense stage.

Actually, from the very beginning, this battle was without suspense; the Flying White Horse did not receive proper commands and was passively beaten. It was only due to the blood beast's strong resilience and numerous defense skills that it wasn't turned to ash by Xiaoruan's relentless combo.

The Holy Poison flared a second time, the Blood Demon Manager couldn't endure it and met his end.

With the Blood Beast Master's death, backlash followed swiftly, and the excruciating pain made the Flying White Horse let out a wail as the city gates opened, seizing the opportunity for Xiaoruan to drive five Silver Swords into its head.

The strongest Flying White Horse on the scene fell just like that.

Such an aggrieved death, Li Cunxu felt a little sorry for it.

Then he found himself dazed; had he just wiped out a blood cultist's outpost?

"Where's the Silver-level guardian here? Out on a visit?"

At every Blood God Sect outpost, there's an unwritten rule to dispatch a Silver-level or above force to guard it.

Until now in the battle, the Silver Blood Beastmaster at the Scarlet Delivery Sorting Center hadn't appeared.

Li Cunxu took off the invisibility cloak, revealing his true form, and his left Blood Lotus Eye absorbed the Burning Lotus Blood Fire, converting it into drops of Tier One Holy Blood.

All the fire was absorbed, refining the Holy Blood; a total of four thousand three hundred fifty-five drops were refined.

The gains were tremendous.

Li Cunxu looked around, "I am at my most relaxed when recovering blood fire, yet no one comes out to ambush me. Apparently, he really is out."

The emergency escape device was meant for chasing the Silver Blood Beastmaster, yet who would have thought he was absent today.

It truly was throwing a flirtatious glance at a blind man.

The Burning Lotus Blood Fire burned hundreds of blood beasts, but the dropped skill seeds were scarce.

And most were unusable, polluted, blood beast-exclusive skill seeds.

The Flying White Horse, however, contributed several high-value skills.

Gold skill: Blade Storm, Swift as the Wind, Ragewind Wing.

Silver skill: Feather Shield, Wind Shield, Whirlwind Strike.

…

Clearly, the Flying White Horse's skill pool was quite plentiful, with acceleration, attack, defense, ranged, and close combat capabilities.

However, it all went to waste with such an owner.

Li Cunxu followed his memory's impression of clearing dungeons, walking into a utility room. He recalled there was a secret chamber below, where some important items were kept.

Pulled out the Blood Demon Treasure Pearl, released the aura of the Blood Demon, revealing the hidden mechanism of the secret door, pressed the button, and the floor opened a door.

Walked down the stairs, turned on his phone's flashlight, greeted with a dazzling array of resources.

"Murders and arson yield gold belts, the ancients did not deceive me!"

Immediately swept all the resources in the secret room clean, pausing for a moment when collecting a treasure.

This treasure was a safe.

The material of the safe was quite unusual, made of cliff shell.

Cliff shell can be used to make shields; as long as the forging skill isn't too lackluster, constructing a shield could block attacks of Gold-level intensity.

Gold-level shields are the lower limit of cliff shell, the upper limit is King-level.

"Using cliff shell is too extravagant!"

What was contained inside? Li Cunxu was very curious.

"No password to open it, unless I reach Gold-level, only then will I have the ability to pry it open. Wait, the cabinet isn't locked."

Li Cunxu opened the cabinet door and saw the contents inside.

An exquisitely crafted mask.

Seeing the five solar wheel engravings on the mask, Li Cunxu was utterly astonished:

"This is the Humankind Divine Treasure, the Fifth Sun Mask from the Twelve Day Moon Masks."

Day Moon Masks are renowned treasures forged by the world's acknowledged strongest blacksmith, Ouzi. Later infused with the fortune of humanity, they became Humankind Divine Treasures. The Day Moon Masks altogether consist of twelve masks, six Sun Masks and six Moon Masks, each possessing a unique ability.

Li Cunxu suddenly understood why the Silver Blood Beastmaster at the Scarlet Delivery Sorting Center point happened to be absent today, and why the cliff shell-crafted safe was unlocked.

The absence of the Silver Blood Beastmaster was due to the fortune of humanity within the Day Moon Mask taking effect.

The Humankind Divine Treasures can only belong to the Human Race; other races wanting to retain them forcefully would face attacks from human fortune and for various inexplicable reasons would return to the hands of humanity.

The unlocked cliff shell safe was also because of fortune.

Li Cunxu wanted to wear the Fifth Sun, to test its ability, but couldn't... wear it.

Li Cunxu and the Fifth Sun appeared to be like two identical magnetic poles, repelling each other. Every time he wanted to wear it on his face, a powerful repelling force stopped him.

After a few attempts, he figured out what was happening.

The Fifth Sun judged he wasn't qualified to wear it.

"Is it because I'm tainted by the evil beast?"

The Fifth Sun is a mask, unable to speak or answer Li Cunxu's questions.

"You want me to take you away, yet you feel I'm unfit to wear you. If you don't allow me to wear you, why should I pander to you? If I can't wear you, you are optional for me. Since you are optional, why must I take you away?"

With that, Li Cunxu tossed the Fifth Sun back onto the table.

"The four Evil Gods have always sought to weaken human fortune, and the best way to weaken human fortune is to find the Humankind Divine Treasures harboring human fortune and destroy them. So, your fate in the Blood God Sect is only one, destruction."

"Now I ask again, do you wish to be destroyed, or be worn on my face and taken away?"
