C179 fused blood crystal
"That's right, it's the blood crystals. Only by absorbing them can we stop at the blood channel. Otherwise, we'll be dead for sure!" Shentu Zhan said in a serious tone.
Su Jue seemed to be deep in thought. After a long while, he took out the crimson stone that he obtained from killing Xue Sha, and said: "The blood crystal you mentioned shouldn't be this one."
Shentu Zhan took a look and laughed: "Yes, no."
"What do you mean?" Su Jue did not understand.
"These blood-colored stones are what form the blood crystals. Nine of them can fuse with one blood crystal, but one must go to the blood channel to do so." Shentu Zhan said.
"Buzz!"
Just as Shentu Zhan finished speaking, a bell sound came from the warship.
"Not good, time is up, the reaper is about to come out. I'm leaving now. You have to be careful, you're not the only one here!" With that, Shentu Zhan fled like the wind.
Seeing Shentu Zhan's fearful expression, Su Jue could not help but frown.
"Crack!"
Right at this moment, a mechanical sound of footsteps came from afar. Su Jue raised his head and saw a team of five armored guards walking towards them.
"Don't tell me, this is the reaper!"
Su Jue's pupils constricted. He could clearly see that these armored warriors were not human beings, because there was a ball of dancing flames between their eyes!
"Break!"
Just as Su Jue was sizing up the warriors, the armored leader seemed to have noticed Su Jue and pointed his greatsword at him. Instantly, the four warriors pounced towards Su Jue.
"As expected of the reaper!"
and judging from the speed, only someone with Heavenly Dipper Realm could act so quickly.
After thinking about it, Su Jue no longer hesitated and flew back into the pathway.
"Boom!"
Behind him, the unnamed reaper's speed increased, wanting to kill Su Jue to such an extent.
Fortunately, both sides had a distance to travel, otherwise, Su Jue would have been caught up to in ten breaths of time.
"We've reached the end."
In the distance, was a pitch black iron wall. Su Jue's heart froze for a moment, he immediately stopped and looked at the ground, only to see a narrow staircase leading downwards.
Without any hesitation, Su Jue directly walked down.
However, what surprised Su Jue was that right after stepping into the second cabin, the first floor's reapers stopped chasing after them.
Looking around, Su Jue realized that the second floor was almost exactly the same as the first floor. They were both tunnels less than three meters wide, and on the left side, there were red colored Fiends.
"That should be the so-called bloody passageway."
Su Jue thought for a while. He had wanted to kill a few more Blood fiends, but he unexpectedly found the person who reaped them at the second level.
In an instant, Su Jue was once again on the run.
The direction in which they were escaping towards was exactly the blood colored passageway that Shentu Zhan mentioned.
As expected, after Su Jue entered the blood-colored passage, the reapers stopped their pursuit.
"These things should be life without emotions, with only reason. They should exist in accordance with the mission given to them by the person who created them."
Su Jue looked at the reapers who were wandering outside as if they were patrolling guards, and started to size up the blood-colored passage.
"Zi la!"
Just at this moment, Su Jue suddenly felt as if something had invaded his body.
Following which, a terrifying roar sounded in his mind, and a dense resentment and killing intent filled his heart.
Very quickly, Su Jue's eyes were completely red, the robe on his upper body exploded, and his body was continuously being invaded by the blood mist from the outside world.
"Blood Demon Qi, this is Blood Demon Qi." Su Jue clenched his teeth, endured the pain, and took out the dozen or so blood-colored stones.
Shentu Zhan had said before, that only in this blood channel could he absorb the blood crystals, and only the blood crystals could let him live in this blood channel.
"Gather!"
True essence gathered in the palm of his hand, and the red fog from the outside world began to pour into the blood-red rock. Soon, the crimson rock turned into blood and then condensed into a transparent red crystal.
"Blood crystals!"
Looking at the crystal clear blood crystal, Su Jue was overjoyed. He immediately gripped it tightly and began to absorb the blood crystal.
Very quickly, Su Jue reached the center of his palm for a burst of cool air, and a bit of ice-cold energy started to seep into his body.
"Buzz!"
It was as if his blood was on fire.
"F * ck!"
At this time, Su Jue suddenly felt as if countless ants had bitten into his entire body. The pain was unbearable, but what made him even more miserable was his soul.
After the blood energy entered his body, he felt as if his soul was being torn apart.
Pain, bone-piercing pain!
It was as if every second felt as long as a year. Su Jue's face was ferocious, his hair was disheveled, like a demon.
One incense stick, two incense sticks
Soon, an hour had passed.
Just then, Su Jue suddenly opened his eyes, a blood red light flashed past his eyes, and the red mist that was surrounding his body slowly dissipated.
"Phew, that was close!"
The first time he absorbed a blood crystal, Su Jue never expected that the process would be so painful.
However, the receipt was also huge.
One blood crystal was enough to increase his strength by one elephant.
And this elephant's power was purely physical.
His body's strength was originally at the sixth level of Earth Fiend Realm, at 24 meters, and now it was at 25 meters.
Although with the dragon arm, Su Jue could easily release a power of up to 40 elephants, the kungfu's strength was not the strength of the body, but the body's strength was related to breaking through the Heavenly Dipper Realm.
Anyone capable of breaking through the Heavenly Dipper Realm or Divine Body must have a physical strength of 72 meters.
As for Su Jue, as his body, he needed the strength of 108 images, which was also the strength of one dragon.
Therefore, to the current Su Jue, this blood crystal was undoubtedly an extremely important thing.
After resting for a while, Su Jue started to walk towards the inner parts of the Blood River, and after walking a few steps, he sensed the blood red fog approaching him again, and had no choice but to stop.
"It seems this bloody passageway is going to get more dangerous the deeper we go."
At this moment, he was standing in his original spot, completely unaffected. However, just one step forward, the blood fiend energy would invade. This was proof that the blood fiend energy in the passageway was becoming stronger as it went deeper in.
"If I'm not wrong, I probably need to absorb even more blood crystals in order to go deeper.
Thinking of this, Su Jue decisively returned to the entrance of the passage, waiting for the reaper to disappear.
"Buzz!"
An hour later, the reaper had finally disappeared at the end of the passageway.
Su Jue laughed, then stepped out of the blood red tunnel and started killing Xue Sha.
With the Earth Spirit Bowl, killing Xue Sha could be said to be an easy task, but he didn't dare to go too far away from the bloody passageway. Otherwise, if he missed time and the harvest failed, he wouldn't be able to return to the bloody passageway.
"The 30th one, and the 3rd one back!"
As he estimated the time, he killed Xue Sha. Soon, the bell chime rang out once more.
The Reaper appeared.
At this time, Su Jue had already retreated to the blood colored channel and was beginning to condense a blood crystal.
"This, I can't actually condense it."
Su Jue looked at the blood red rock in his hand, which had not changed at all, and sank into deep thought.
"If I'm not wrong, then I should be able to condense the blood demon energy even deeper."
Thinking of this, Su Jue started to move forward, and started to bear the attacks of the blood fiends from the outside world.
"Zi la!"
Sure enough, under the effect of the powerful Blood Slaughter Power, a blood crystal was successfully formed!
Feeling the ever-increasing baleful qi in his body, Su Jue did not hesitate to absorb the second blood crystal.
The pain of the second blood crystal was even worse than the second. Su Jue's body even showed signs of cracking.
This caused Su Jue to be extremely surprised, despite being in pain. Earth Fiend Realm's divine body should be the strongest amongst the same level, yet there were actually signs of it collapsing under the power of the blood crystal.
"Crack!"
After a while, the sound of bones cracking continuously sounded from within Su Jue's body.
The current Su Jue had no way to withstand this pain, he could only clench his fists and endure with difficulty.
On the path of cultivation, it was extremely dangerous and the suffering was everywhere. If one wanted to become strong, they had to have a tenacity and perseverance that surpassed ordinary people!
This sentence was said by his father, the Flame Emperor, in his previous life. In the past, he did not think so, because his previous life went too smoothly, he was born with countless cultivation resources and the best teacher in the Heaven Realm.2
This was why he had once disapproved of these words. But now, he believed and understood them.
Without going through suffering and life and death, it was impossible for one to become a powerful expert. It was just like how, in his previous life, he died in such a useless manner despite possessing only a single ounce of strength.
If he had had the same experience in his previous life, he wouldn't have been fooled by a woman!
With that thought, Su Jue's body suddenly shook, and a wave of hatred that had been suppressed for many years instantly exploded out.
"Xi Yan, in this life, I, Su Jue, will make it so that you will never be able to recover!"
"Boom!"
Ripples spread out around Su Jue's body, shaking the surrounding red fog away.
In the next moment, Su Jue's face turned cold, and walked deeper again. After walking for a while, he stopped and started to condense and absorb blood crystals.
And so on and so forth.
Six hours later, Su Jue had already absorbed five blood crystals.
Five blood crystals, the strength of five elephants.
However, that was not enough. He still needed more power and blood crystals.
After the bell chime's reaper left, Su Jue once again stepped out of the blood-colored passage and began collecting blood-colored stones.
Time slowly passed. One day. Two days. Three days …
In these three days, Su Jue practically repeated this every single day.
That was to kill Xue Sha and obtain the blood-colored rock. After which, they would enter the blood-colored channel to agglomerate the blood crystals and absorb them.
At that moment, deep inside the blood coloured passage, Su Jue's entire body was drenched in blood.
This was the ninth time he had fused with the blood crystal. At this moment, he had already penetrated nearly a hundred feet into the bloody passageway.
"Boom!"
The ninth blood crystal was successfully absorbed.
Su Jue slowly opened his eyes and walked a few steps forward. And at this time, Su Jue suddenly discovered a black-clothed person in front of the tunnel.
"There's actually someone here!" Su Jue was shocked, a look of vigilance flashed past his eyes.
Those who could make it to this place were definitely not ordinary people. They had absorbed at least nine blood crystals.
At the same time, the man also discovered Su Jue.
"I had thought that it would be that guy from before. It turns out that he's actually a newcomer." The black-clothed man turned and looked at Su Jue with interest.
