Chapter 86

According to Yan Yue'er's account, with the dual moon demon jade present, a hundred-person blood sacrifice would not be necessary.

Only to see the blood moon and silver moon in the sky gradually approach, then overlap and merge.

"Hum!"

Below, the large pit emitted blood and silver light, the two lights intertwining to form a complex and massive light array.

This was an array, with array patterns interwoven, various intricate and profound runes flickering, suspended above the pit.

Yan Yue'er leaped up and landed on the blood-silver interwoven light array, which was substantial and did not let her fall.

"Everyone come up, we are about to enter the secret realm," Yan Yue'er said, looking down at everyone.

The white-shirted man and the burly man who came with her did not hesitate, also leaping up and landing behind her.

The others also did not suspect anything and leaped up, curiously looking at the light array beneath their feet, finding it quite incredible.

After everyone stood on the light array, Yan Yue'er reached out to grab the two demon jades floating in the air.

Luo Xiu's pupils constricted, and he also reached out to grab the demon jades.

As a result, Yan Yue'er grabbed the demon jade that belonged to her, while Luo Xiu grabbed the other one.

The moment the two demon jades were taken, a brilliant light shone, and the people standing on the light array instantly disappeared. The area above the large pit also returned to calm, as if nothing had happened.

As for the over a hundred slaves brought by Yan Yue'er, they could only remain where they were, left to their own devices.

The moment he was enveloped by the light, Luo Xiu felt as if he was riding a teleportation array, his body wrapped by a spatial force, not knowing where it would take him.

It seemed like only a moment had passed, and Luo Xiu felt his feet touch solid ground. He then looked around vigilantly, finding himself in a dim forest.

At the same time, he also saw Yan Yue'er and the others.

The secret realm was a special space left from ancient times, meaning that everyone was no longer in the Tianwu Kingdom but in a space isolated from the outside world.

According to legend, the secret realm space was created by a powerful being from ancient times. Luo Xiu could not imagine what kind of existence could achieve such a feat.

Apart from Luo Xiu, the other innate martial masters also looked around, their eyes filled with caution and curiosity.

"This is the first area. The soul-restoring grass I need is only found in the third area," Yan Yue'er said slowly, her beautiful eyes glancing at Luo Xiu.

One of the dual moon demon jades was now in Luo Xiu's possession.

The Yan family had only one demon jade, and each time the secret realm was opened, a hundred-person blood sacrifice was required. To enter the second area from the first, and the third area from the second, also required blood.

This was the purpose of Yan Yue'er bringing these innate martial masters in. The essence blood of innate martial masters was naturally more effective than that of body-refining qi sea realm martial artists.

"None of these people who entered can leave alive. As long as I get the demon jade from him, I don't need a blood sacrifice to go to the third area."

This was what Yan Yue'er thought.

"Everyone follow me, we will first go to the second area."

Yan Yue'er seemed to have been to this Ten Thousand Demon Secret Realm before, leading everyone in a specific direction and starting to move forward.

Unconsciously, the group walked deep into the forest, occasionally discovering some medicinal herbs growing there, most of which were first-grade, with a few being second-grade.

Innate martial masters had no interest in such grade medicinal herbs, so no one picked them.

Along the way, second-grade demon beasts would often jump out to attack. For the innate martial masters, it was easy to kill them with a single move.

"Roar!"

A tiger-like beast leaped out from the bushes, opening its blood-red mouth and pouncing towards Luo Xiu, who was the closest.

Luo Xiu had already sensed the tiger's presence. He slowly raised his hand and pointed, a sword aura condensed from the Netherworld Death Flame shooting out. With a "puh," it pierced through the tiger's head, killing it instantly.

However, strangely, after the tiger was killed, its body gradually became blurry, and all the blood coalesced, forming a blood-red bead the size of a fingernail on the ground.

This strange scene caught the attention of the others in the group.

"You have good luck. Killing a second-grade demon beast actually produced a blood bead," Yan Yue'er said, walking at the front of the group.

"Blood bead? What is this?" Luo Xiu reached out and grabbed the blood bead, sensing the dense essence blood contained within the small bead.

"Blood beads are formed from the essence of demon beasts in the Ten Thousand Demon Secret Realm. When consumed and refined by martial artists, they can strengthen their essence blood and have a body-refining effect. For martial artists practicing body-refining techniques, the effect is even better."

Yan Yue'er continued, "The secret of blood beads is known by only a few people in the entire Tianwu Kingdom."

According to Yan Yue'er, blood beads could have a body-refining effect, making them invaluable treasures. However, such treasures were monopolized by major forces, and ordinary martial artists did not even know of their existence.

Moreover, these blood beads could only be obtained by killing demon beasts in the Ten Thousand Demon Secret Realm.

Luo Xiu indeed sensed the dense essence blood within the blood bead. After a moment of contemplation, he swallowed the blood bead. The essence blood was quickly refined, strengthening his essence blood and indeed enhancing his physical body.

This made Luo Xiu's face show a look of shock. If blood beads could refine the body, it meant that with enough blood beads, he could potentially cultivate the Vajra Tyrant Body Technique to a higher level.

Since blood beads could only be obtained by killing demon beasts in the Ten Thousand Demon Secret Realm, it seemed that a powerful being from ancient times had specifically created this space to raise demon beasts and harvest blood beads.

After learning the benefits of blood beads, the other innate martial masters in the group also became enthusiastic, competing to kill demon beasts.

...

Near the Guanlei Mountains, three old men with white hair and beards stood in the sky, their faces dark.

"Yan Yue'er stole the Ten Thousand Demon Secret Map and the Blood Moon Demon Jade. According to intelligence, she brought over a hundred slaves and some scattered martial artists into this place."

"The hundred slaves are definitely for the hundred-person blood sacrifice to open the secret realm. As for the scattered martial artists, they are also for the blood sacrifice."

"As the younger sister of the family head, the family treated her well, but she did not think of repaying and even betrayed the family!"

"The entrance to the Ten Thousand Demon Secret Realm only appears randomly every ten years, and only by following the secret map can the exact coordinates be found. With the vast Guanlei Mountains, where do we search?"

"We must dig the earth three feet deep to find her. Once she enters the secret realm, finding her will be as difficult as ascending to the heavens. How can we explain this to the Purple Mansion Young Master?"

The leading old man coldly snorted, flipped his hand, and took out a communication box, preparing to gather people to search the Guanlei Mountains.

...

Walking in the dim forest, demon beasts would occasionally leap out from the bushes. As Luo Xiu and his group went deeper, the attacks from demon beasts became more frequent.

Along the way, the group encountered three attacks from groups of demon beasts, killing countless second-grade demon beasts.

Killing so many demon beasts, the group's harvest was not small. Almost every martial artist obtained several blood beads, with Luo Xiu and the eighth-stage innate martial artist obtaining the most.

Obtaining blood beads was not easy; generally, killing twenty second-grade demon beasts would yield one bead, which could be considered a matter of luck.

Unlike Luo Xiu and the others, Yan Yue'er and the two people with her did not collect blood beads. The group did not mind, as she came from the Yan family, and such low-grade blood beads were not worth her attention.

After two hours, Luo Xiu's harvest was significant. In the first area, the second-grade demon beasts could not withstand his single finger. On this journey, he killed a total of over three hundred demon beasts and obtained thirteen blood beads.

The others also killed many demon beasts, and despite the continuous battles, their cultivation levels were significantly drained, even though they were only second-grade demon beasts.

Only Yan Yue'er, the eighth-stage innate martial artist, and Luo Xiu had minimal depletion.

Yan Yue'er did not participate in any battles, while Luo Xiu and the eighth-stage innate martial artist had deep true qi, and their attacks were always fatal, resulting in minimal depletion.

After refining all thirteen blood beads, Luo Xiu's physical body was almost twice as strong as before, reaching the peak of the first level of the Vajra Tyrant Body Technique, just a step away from the major completion of the first level, comparable to a high-grade human-level battle soldier!

Although the Vajra Tyrant Body Technique was a seventh-grade martial art, Luo Xiu later discovered it was an incomplete martial art with two levels. The first level could refine the physical body to be comparable to a human-level battle soldier, divided into four minor stages: initial completion, minor completion, major completion, and perfection.

At the perfection of the first level, the physical body could be comparable to a high-grade human-level battle soldier, even withstanding the attacks of ordinary spirit-refining martial lords.

The second level of the technique could only reach initial completion, with no subsequent content.

This meant that the martial art could only refine the physical body to the level of a low-grade earth-level battle soldier.

The enhancement of his physical body made Luo Xiu excited. The blood beads formed by second-grade demon beasts had such a miraculous effect, and if higher-grade demon beasts formed blood beads, the effect would be even better.

Perhaps he could even cultivate the Vajra Tyrant Body Technique to the second level here!

Yan Yue'er sensed the changes in Luo Xiu, her beautiful eyes flashing with surprise, thinking that this boy who called himself Asura actually practiced a body-refining technique and seemed to have reached a considerable level.

After another half an hour, the group reached the end of the forest.

In the center of an open area, a sacrificial altar about six to seven meters high stood, with blood and silver light flickering on it, similar to the teleportation array they used to enter the secret realm.

"From here, we can enter the second area, and we need the dual moon demon jades to activate the teleportation."

Climbing the altar, the group saw an array with blood and silver light flickering, almost identical to the array they used to enter the secret realm, with only minor differences.

Luo Xiu, a fifth-stage array master, could not understand the mysteries of this light array, indicating that the level of this array was far beyond his comprehension.

However, Luo Xiu suddenly thought that Yan Yue'er originally only had the Blood Moon Demon Jade, and a hundred-person blood sacrifice was needed to open the secret realm entrance. Only with the dual moon demon jades could the blood sacrifice be avoided.

Entering the second area also required the dual moon demon jades. Could it be that Yan Yue'er originally planned to use a blood sacrifice?

Where would the people for the blood sacrifice come from?

Thinking about this, Luo Xiu felt a chill. The suitable people for the blood sacrifice were the innate martial masters she brought in!

The essence blood of one innate martial master for a blood sacrifice was equivalent to that of ten qi sea realm martial artists. Five innate martial masters for a blood sacrifice would be equivalent to a hundred-person blood sacrifice!

"What a cruel heart!"

Realizing this, Luo Xiu looked at Yan Yue'er with a chill, thinking how could a girl who looked less than twenty have such a cruel heart, treating others' lives as grass?
