Chapter 91

"Do not kill them; we still need their blood to perform the blood sacrifice for the teleportation array to enter the third area."

Seeing Luo Xiu preparing to act, Yan Yue'er slightly relaxed and reminded him.

The man in white appeared to be a scholar, refined and gentle, but his movements were filled with a bloody aura. His true qi was as red as human blood, containing a corrosive force.

Yan Yue'er was clearly right; Wei Yungu must have been practicing some kind of evil technique that devours essence and blood.

This evil technique is called the Blood Demon Art, which requires killing and drinking blood, extremely vicious and harmful to the natural order.

However, when the Blood Demon true qi met the Netherworld Death Flame, it was like snow thrown into a raging fire, instantly dissolving.

Luo Xiu's attack was merciless. A mid-grade Earth-class battle sword slashed out, and the Blood Demon true qi could not resist at all.

With a splash, blood spurted, and Wei Yungu's head rolled away, blood gushing like a fountain.

Wei Yungu, at the Seventh Level of the Innate Realm, was killed in one strike!

Luo Xiu's fast sword could only be withstood by a Divine Sense Realm Martial Ancestor with the aid of divine sense.

Below the Divine Sense Realm, unless one had perfected a certain technique, no one could withstand his sword.

Seeing Wei Yungu killed, the burly man He Bashan was terrified, and his first reaction was to turn and run.

But just as he turned, a black flame sword light rushed over, piercing through his head from the back, causing his brain to splatter.

The seven martial artists whose cultivation had been stripped were terrified, while Yan Yue'er frowned. If Luo Xiu killed these people, how could they perform the blood sacrifice for the teleportation array?

Luo Xiu wiped the blood off his battle sword and looked at the seven martial artists whose cultivation had been stripped with a cold gaze.

In this Myriad Demon Secret Realm, without cultivation, even if Luo Xiu did not kill them, these people would not survive.

The seven martial artists dared not breathe heavily, fearing they would anger this slaughter god.

No one wants to die. Even if they are destined to die without cultivation in this Myriad Demon Secret Realm, they still want to live as long as possible.

"Although you killed two of them, these seven people are enough for the blood sacrifice."

Yan Yue'er's voice was gentle, but her words were cold. To enter the third area and find the Soul-Reviving Grass to restore her injured primordial spirit, she was willing to use any means, including blood sacrifice.

Luo Xiu did not say anything. He also wanted to enter the third area to hunt demon beasts and obtain Divine Sense-level blood pearls. According to Yan Yue'er, even with the Dual Moon Demon Jade, one cannot enter the third area without Divine Sense cultivation.

Only through blood sacrifice could the lack of cultivation be compensated.

These people were not related to him, and Luo Xiu would not sacrifice his chance to advance his physical realm to save their lives.

The secret map was in the storage ring Yan Yue'er gave him, recorded on a jade slip, detailing the route from the first area to the third area, as well as some information about the fourth area.

Following the route on the secret map, Luo Xiu led the group to the end of the second area.

Along the way, countless demon beasts blocked their path. In just three days, Luo Xiu killed nearly three hundred demon beasts, averaging nearly a hundred per day!

Due to the excessive killing, whenever Luo Xiu released his aura, a faint blood-red glow would surround him, a manifestation of the killing aura!

This killing aura had a震慑 effect, and ordinary demon beasts and martial artists would be intimidated before even engaging in battle.

On this path of slaughter, Luo Xiu harvested over a hundred Innate-level blood pearls.

As they approached the end of the second area, the demon beasts they encountered became increasingly powerful, each capable of matching the Seventh Level of the Innate Realm or higher. Some powerful beast leaders could even match Great Martial Masters or even half-step Divine Sense Realm!

The seven martial artists' cultivation had been stripped, and Yan Yue'er could not act, so Luo Xiu, acting alone, gradually found it more challenging.

When they finally reached the ancient altar at the end of the third area, Luo Xiu was disheveled and his clothes were in tatters.

Despite his disheveled appearance, a terrifying killing aura surrounded him, and his strength had continuously improved through the battles.

Yan Yue'er also gained a clearer understanding of Luo Xiu's strength. This young man, seemingly only fourteen or fifteen years old, with Third Level Innate cultivation, was invincible below the Divine Sense Realm. Even the ten major families of the Heavenly Martial Kingdom, or the three most powerful superpowers, could not cultivate such a genius.

Near the teleportation altar in the second area, no demon beasts were lurking. A ten-mile radius around the ancient altar was a safe zone.

Before entering the third area, Luo Xiu planned to consume blood pearls to enhance his physical realm. The stronger he was, the better his chances of survival in the third area.

Since he had accepted Yan Yue'er's storage ring, he decided to help her find the Soul-Reviving Grass after entering the third area.

Taking out Yan Yue'er's storage ring, he probed it with his senses, and hundreds of mid-grade essence stones scattered around.

Next, Luo Xiu took out a Fifth Rank Spirit Gathering Array, which would allow him to absorb the energy from the essence stones more quickly, rapidly enhancing his cultivation.

While cultivating and absorbing essence, Luo Xiu also took out a jade slip. This jade slip contained the Eighth Rank martial technique Yan Yue'er mentioned.

Probing the jade slip, the martial technique information continuously flooded his mind.

This martial technique, known as the Eighth Rank Soul-Condensing Mystic Art, was a method for refining the soul, condensing divine sense, and cultivating the primordial spirit.

According to Yan Yue'er, she had used this Soul-Condensing Mystic Art to comprehend the profound meaning of the Flame Martial Intent at the Divine Sense Realm.

The stronger the soul, the stronger the divine sense, making it easier to comprehend martial intent. Martial intent seems to be closely related to the martial cultivator's soul, an extension of willpower.

Sensing is a capability of willpower, while divine sense is the concentration of willpower, and the primordial spirit is the solidification of willpower.

This cultivation lasted for seven days.

Since the effect of the Innate-level blood pearls was not significant, after consuming over a hundred, Luo Xiu's physical realm did not break through to the High Battle Body, still far from the Peak Battle Body.

His cultivation, however, with the aid of hundreds of mid-grade essence stones and the Fifth Rank Spirit Gathering Array, advanced to the Fourth Level of the Innate Realm.

In martial cultivation, advancing in cultivation is the easiest. With sufficient resources, talent, and time, reaching a high level is not difficult.

However, as cultivation increases, the required resources also become more advanced, which is why there are so few Divine Sense Realm Martial Ancestors and above.

In the Heavenly Martial Kingdom, a Divine Sense Realm Martial Ancestor can sit in a city, dominating a region! A Martial King can establish a sect, dominating a county, while Martial Lords stand at the pinnacle of the Heavenly Martial Kingdom, overlooking all!

If a Martial Emperor, above the Martial Lord, were to appear, they could easily destroy the entire Heavenly Martial Kingdom!

At the center of the ancient altar, Luo Xiu took out the Dual Moon Demon Jade, infused it with true qi, and the Blood Moon and Silver Moon slowly rose, shining together.

Yan Yue'er, expressionless, acted ruthlessly, killing the seven martial artists who had lost their cultivation one by one. Their essence and blood rose, merging into the two demon jades.

Luo Xiu felt a pang of regret but forced himself to remain cold. Having a good heart is not wrong, but it depends on the situation.

As a brilliant light flashed, Luo Xiu retrieved the two demon jades, and he and Yan Yue'er instantly disappeared, being teleported away.

The seven bodies, drained of essence and blood, gradually faded and disappeared, like the demon beasts that had been drained of blood, very eerie.

After appearing in the third area, Luo Xiu immediately spread his senses and found no powerful demon beasts nearby.

"The third area is filled with Divine Sense-level demon beasts. Do not wander around recklessly."

Yan Yue'er's expression became serious. Despite the slaughter god's strength, which might match an ordinary Divine Sense Realm, if they encountered a demon beast comparable to the Third Level of the Divine Sense Realm or higher, they would not be able to resist.

And with her current inability to use any strength, if the slaughter god could not resist, her fate would be clear.

Without Yan Yue'er's reminder, Luo Xiu also knew the danger. He immediately took out the secret map and found a marked area where the Soul-Reviving Grass was located.

In the Myriad Demon Secret Realm, the first area was filled with Sea Qi-level demon beasts, numbering in the hundreds of thousands, with beast herds everywhere.

The second area was filled with Innate-level demon beasts, fewer in number but still in the tens of thousands.

The third area had tens of thousands of Divine Sense-level demon beasts, but due to the vast area, each demon beast had its own territory, making them less dense. As long as they were careful, they did not have to worry about being surrounded.

Following the route on the secret map, Luo Xiu led Yan Yue'er cautiously through the dense forest.

Suddenly, he stopped, and Yan Yue'er immediately became alert, looking around warily.

She thought Luo Xiu had stopped because he sensed danger.

"There is a Divine Sense-level demon beast ahead, at the Third Level of the Divine Sense Realm or higher. We will go around it."

Luo Xiu spoke slowly.

He indeed sensed danger, but not when it was imminent. He had sensed it in advance.

Yan Yue'er looked at Luo Xiu with surprise. She found this young man mysterious, with various abilities she did not understand.

Logically, when an Innate Realm cultivator senses a Divine Sense-level demon beast, the demon beast's divine sense should also detect them.

However, Luo Xiu used the Life and Death Pearl to sense life energy, which would not be detected.

On the way, Luo Xiu did not conflict with any demon beasts in the area. Sometimes, when he encountered ordinary Divine Sense-level demon beasts he could match, he deliberately avoided them, only noting their locations.

According to Yan Yue'er, even if they could not refine the Soul-Reviving Grass into a Soul-Reviving Pill, it could still help heal her injured primordial spirit, restoring some of her strength.

As long as her strength was restored, she would not fear most demon beasts in the third area.

After three days, they finally reached the area marked on the secret map where the Soul-Reviving Grass was located.

"I have been to the Myriad Demon Secret Realm before. The place where the Soul-Reviving Grass grows is guarded by a Fourth Level Divine Sense demon beast."

Yan Yue'er explained. She was once a Martial Lord and did not care about a Fourth Rank Soul-Reviving Grass, so she did not pick it.

"A Fourth Level Divine Sense demon beast, beyond my capabilities." Luo Xiu frowned. He had taken the reward to help Yan Yue'er find the Soul-Reviving Grass, but he would not risk his life.

"I won't let you die. You just need to lure the demon beast away, and I will sneak in to take the Soul-Reviving Grass."

As she spoke, Yan Yue'er took out a green jade bottle from her pocket and handed it to Luo Xiu, saying, "This contains three Essence Boosting Pills. Taking one can enhance your strength by three minor levels for half an hour. With your abilities, you can match that demon beast."

The Essence Boosting Pill is a non-ranked pill. Any cultivator can enhance their strength by three minor levels for half an hour after taking it.

Of course, if the cultivator's level is too high, the effect will be weaker. For a Martial Lord, it might only enhance their strength by one minor level.

Even so, the Essence Boosting Pill is extremely valuable, a powerful tool in battles.

The jade bottle carried a hint of Yan Yue'er's body temperature, indicating she carried it close to her. Although she had given the storage ring to Luo Xiu, she kept her best items on her.

However, Luo Xiu did not mind. With the Essence Boosting Pill, he was confident he could match a Fourth Level Divine Sense demon beast.

Luo Xiu, not one for idle talk, put an Essence Boosting Pill in his mouth and left a shadow in place as he rushed into the forest ahead.

"Roar!"

A furious roar echoed, like a
