Chapter 1265: Corpseflower Blood Amber

After several exchanges, Old Devil Ye, Qingjun, and Jingyu had entered the blood pool one after another.

Whoosh! The ebony sword shot back and began circling around Qin Sang.

Qin Sang stared coldly at the figure before him. "Should I call you Daoist Ye, or Daoist Blood?"

Old Devil Ye’s blood devil incarnation seemed somewhat similar to the Seeded Devil Embryo, yet in truth, they were fundamentally different.

The Seeded Devil Embryo was created by splitting the soul and refining a devil seed, then nurturing an incarnation with one’s own blood and essence. The incarnation was gradually transformed and specialized in Blood Dao supernatural abilities.

But the core method of Old Devil Ye’s blood devil incarnation was rooted directly in Blood Dao secret techniques, born from bathing in blood.

The blood devil incarnation let out a sinister laugh. "I am him, and he is me! I regret not leaving you in Abyssal Ruin. You have indeed become a grave threat!"

The blood devil incarnation did not pursue Qingjun and Jingyu. Instead, he flashed forward and blocked Qin Sang.

Old Devil Ye had fought Qin Sang before and knew how troublesome he was. His regard for Qin Sang was no less than for Devil Lord Tongyou.

Qin Sang glanced toward the blood pool, knowing he would likely have to battle the blood devil incarnation first and find an opportunity to shake him off.

He felt some concern for Qingjun. Jingyu had gone to search for the Corpseflower Blood Amber and would not be able to help Qingjun for some time.

Although Qin Sang sensed that Qingjun was extremely mysterious, he did not believe she could defeat Old Devil Ye. Facing him alone, it was uncertain how long she could hold out.

Roar! The starlight giant roared.

But the roar stopped abruptly. The starlight giant completely vanished, leaving behind a mass of devilish flames that rolled back.

After knocking the starlight giant back to its original form, Qin Sang had held nothing back and activated the eighteen devilish banners.

The starlight giant had been ordered to block Qin Sang at all costs and would not retreat. Unable to withstand the burning of the devilish flames, its talisman power was exhausted, and it dissipated completely.

Seeing this, the blood devil incarnation’s gaze sharpened. He could also destroy a starlight giant, but not as easily or as quickly as Qin Sang had.

Old Devil Ye still remembered clearly the devilish flames Qin Sang had wielded back then.

At that time, only twelve banners had formed the array. Now, eighteen banners revolved around Qin Sang, and the aura of the devilish flames was on an entirely different level.

The blood devil incarnation realized that Qin Sang’s strength had grown far beyond what it once was, even more troublesome than expected.

Just looking at those devilish flames made his heart pound with unease. But there was no room to retreat.

The blood devil incarnation licked his lips and once again activated the Blood Moon Wheel. A curtain of blood light spread outward.

At the same time, the fingers of his left hand flicked lightly. A barely perceptible fluctuation appeared in the void and vanished in an instant.

Qin Sang was about to drive the devilish flames forward when his expression suddenly changed. He let out a sharp shout and instantly retreated several zhang.

At the same moment Qin Sang withdrew, more than a dozen crystalline blood-colored needles appeared out of nowhere at his original position, striking empty space. Fine as ox hair, they swayed gently in the air.

One of those needles had just brushed against his divine protective aura and passed through it as if it were nothing, like a fish swimming through water, eager to pierce into his body. Fortunately, Qin Sang had reacted in time.

The fluctuations of these needles were extremely subtle. Concealed beneath the blood curtain, they were highly difficult to detect, but they could not escape the eyes of the Sky-Eyed Butterfly.

The blood devil incarnation inwardly cursed his bad luck and quickly recalled the needles.

These Cold-Blooded Divine Needles had been refined years ago after discovering Blood Lake. While forging the treasure banners, he had gathered blood qi and evil yin power from the lake to create this set of poison needles, which had only recently reached completion.

The needles contained a strange toxin and struck without a sound. If an opponent was careless, they would be infected, their entire blood and essence corrupted, greatly damaging their cultivation. It was an extremely vicious weapon.

Unfortunately, the needles themselves were very fragile. They had to be sealed within a case under normal circumstances, and required preparation before use. Earlier, he had not had time to take them out against Qingjun and Jingyu.

Seeing that the Cold-Blooded Divine Needles had failed, the blood devil incarnation withdrew them for now and drove the Blood Moon Wheel to launch a fierce assault on Qin Sang. At the same time, both his hands formed seals in rapid succession as the surrounding blood mist surged wildly and the situation changed abruptly.

Qin Sang advanced instead of retreating. He only wanted to force the blood devil incarnation back as quickly as possible. With a thought, he unleashed the Devilish Flames of Nine Hells in full.

In an instant, devilish flames filled the sky while blood surged like a raging tide. The two forces collided violently, producing terrifying fluctuations.

The commotion here shocked not only Tianzheng and Devil Lord Tongyou, but also the cultivators within the two arrays at the entrance of the blood pool. All of them sensed it and grew increasingly anxious.

Above the blood pool, everyone had been split into three separate battlefields.

***

Jingyu had successfully entered the blood pool. Seeing that the blood devil incarnation had not pursued her, her expression immediately brightened. She looked around. The scene here had not changed much from before.

Within the blood water, countless black chains twisted like giant serpents, crisscrossing in every direction. Some had broken, but most remained intact, extending deep toward the bottom of the pool.

However, after the passage of countless years, the sealing power within the chains had continuously weakened. Compared to two hundred years ago, it was clearly much weaker.

Tracing the network of the chains, one could see that several of them converged toward the same direction.

Jingyu weaved between the chains, moving along one side of the blood pool. She observed and sensed the rune power on the chains while moving. When she counted to the ninth chain, she found her target, and followed it downward at high speed.

The evil yin power around her grew denser and more bone-chilling.

Old Devil Ye and Qingjun had only entered slightly ahead of her, less than a single breath’s time, yet they were already nowhere to be seen.

Jingyu knew very well where their target lay, but the Corpseflower Blood Amber was of utmost importance. She had to secure it first.

The chains interlinked and extended to unimaginable depths. Following the chain, Jingyu descended to an unknown depth before finally reaching its end.

This was the very bottom of the blood pool. Like the depths of the blood river, the place was barren. The ground was jagged and uneven, tempered by the blood mist into crystalline hardness.

At the end of the chain stood a massive cage.

The iron cages she had seen earlier on the corpse mountain were not even one-tenth its size. The material of the cage was identical to the chains, clearly part of the same structure.

Each bar was as thick as the chains themselves.

The surface of the bars was covered in runes, forming a unified seal that, together with the chains, suppressed the prisoner within. However, the runes had dimmed, emitting only thread-thin strands of blood lightning, with little power remaining. Because the cage was damaged.

At one corner, two bars had broken, compromising the entire seal. And within the cage, there was a skeleton bound by chains!

The flesh on the corpse had long since corroded away, leaving only bones that had somehow been preserved to this day!

The skeleton was humanoid. It was unquestionably dead, lying flat, but everything below the waist was missing. It was unclear whether it had been cut in half while alive or had deteriorated into this state after death.

Jingyu’s eyes burned with excitement when she saw several crystal-clear spirit flowers, like blood-red amber, on the skeleton, emitting an eerie glow.

The Corpseflower Blood Amber had grown directly from the corpse of the ancient cultivator!

"Five of them, just as expected." Jingyu nodded to herself. Without hesitation, she flashed to the damaged section of the cage and struck with her wings!
