Yin Tianjue stood beside Yin Xuege. His originally empty hands suddenly held a black jade flute. He looked at Yin Xuege with a gaze full of various complex emotions. At this moment, Yin Tianjue's expression was as complicated and bewildered as a husband who sees his wife's suddenly swollen belly, unsure if she is pregnant or just fat.

Is that round belly the fruit of their love? Or just white fat?

Yin Xuege, who was scorched black and smoking, was coughing violently. The power of the blood thunder bestowed by Yin Tianjue was too great, even exceeding his own expectations. Despite being prepared, the blood thunder still severely injured Yin Xuege, making his internal organs feel as if they were on fire, and he was in such pain that he couldn't even speak.

Jiang Rusheng and Jiang Tuochen looked at Yin Xuege with some anxiety. Their feelings were quite different from Yin Tianjue's.

They didn't doubt whether Yin Xuege had done anything underhanded in the cave. They knew what kind of person the original owner of the Jade Flower Small World was and didn't think the Yin clan had the ability to do anything out of line under their watch.

The great array's restrictions were suddenly disrupted by the Jade Flower Small World's restrictions. Apart from Yin Xuege, dozens of Yin clan members and several Jiang clan members were swept away by the chaotic restrictions. Jiang Rusheng and the others were anxious about the whereabouts of those Jiang clan members and wanted to get some useful information from Yin Xuege.

Yin Xuege also wanted to speak, but the blood thunder had injured his throat, and his vocal cords were filled with charred skin fragments, making it impossible for him to make a sound. Moreover, his injuries were worsening, and without sufficient essence blood, his own recovery ability would not be enough to heal him in a month.

"Essence blood, a large amount of essence blood!" Yin Tianjue saw Yin Xuege's dire situation and immediately ordered sternly.

Yin Tianmie stepped out from the crowd. Without hesitation, he grabbed the white python coiled around his arm. He tightly gripped the python's tail and shook it hard. The python, which had shrunk to about two feet long, let out a mournful cry and then restored its massive thirty-meter-long body.

Without giving the python a chance to plead, Yin Tianmie's sharp nails on his right hand extended like five small knives, slicing across the python's neck and severing its massive head with a single palm. The snake's blood, which had a slight golden hue and a rich, exotic fragrance, gushed out. Under Yin Tianmie's demonic power control, the massive amount of snake blood turned into a blood fountain and was directly injected into Yin Xuege's mouth.

The Jade Flower Small World had been sealed since the beginning of the Lawless Era, over a thousand years ago. Over these years, the only living beings inside were this python and a black tiger. These two creatures roamed freely in the mountains and forests, devouring countless spiritual medicines, storing an extremely large amount of pure spiritual medicine power in their bodies.

Unfortunately, in the Lawless Era, the laws of the world had collapsed. Although the python and the black tiger had devoured a massive amount of spiritual medicines, they lacked the support of the laws of the world. As a result, they had boundless medicinal power in their bodies but could not enhance their strength at all. The black tiger was killed with a single sword strike, and the massive demonic power stored in the python's essence blood was now all benefiting Yin Xuege.

The medicinal power of countless thousand-year-old spiritual medicines and ten-thousand-year-old spiritual herbs was mixed in the python's essence blood. Yin Xuege opened his mouth and greedily devoured the snake blood, which emitted a rich, exotic fragrance. His body, severely injured by the blood thunder, felt as dry as a vast desert. As the snake blood continuously flowed in, his internal organs began to rumble like thunder, and the sound of blood flowing like a surging tide soon followed.

The charred skin peeled off in pieces, revealing the smooth, jade-like flesh underneath. Yin Xuege's damaged internal organs rapidly healed, and his vitality soared. His blood energy was so abundant that it even seeped out of his pores, forming a faint blood mist that enveloped his entire body.

The python was enormous, and the amount of essence blood in its body was astonishing. The medicinal power of the countless spiritual medicines and herbs it had devoured over the centuries was even more astonishing. Yin Xuege's small body could not contain such a massive amount of essence blood and demonic power. Instinctively, he let out a long howl, and a pair of massive bat wings unfolded from his back.

His innate bat wings expanded, and although Yin Xuege was shorter than an adult, the wingspan of his innate bat wings had already exceeded fifteen meters. The 'delicate and petite' body, paired with the massive, fierce bat wings, and the rolling blood mist around him, emitted a powerful and stern aura, causing Jiang Rusheng and the others to change their expressions.

Although he had not yet condensed a golden core, the aura Yin Xuege emitted was enough to match any golden core cultivator!

Jiang Rusheng and Jiang Tuochen exchanged a glance and nodded with a smile. The insignificant investment they had made in Yin Xuege was clearly not going to be a loss! How old is this kid? He already has the strength of a golden core cultivator. What about when he gets older? This kid is going to soar to great heights, isn't he?

Such a young prodigy with great fortune and astonishing talent is exactly the kind of person the Jiang clan is most willing to befriend!

However, they also had great concerns and precautions about Yin Xuege, or rather, the potential of the Blood Demon clan. Yin Xuege had signed an alliance with the Jiang clan, so they didn't have to worry about him doing anything malicious to the Jiang clan. But the potential of the Blood Demon clan was alarming. A teenager, just by continuously consuming essence blood, could rapidly achieve the strength of a golden core cultivator!

Their eyes flickered, and Jiang Rusheng and Jiang Tuochen listed this matter as one of the most important and most concerning events. As the Lawless Era gradually faded away and a new era arrived, if every member of the Blood Demon clan had such extraordinary talent, it would not be a good thing for the Eastern cultivation world or for all cultivators!

After all, the Jiang clan belonged to the righteous immortal faction in the Eastern cultivation world, while the Blood Demon clan would always be categorized as an evil and heretical faction!

Yin Xuege unfolded his massive innate bat wings, and the rolling blood energy was absorbed by the bat wings. The light red, semi-transparent bat wings gradually darkened, becoming thicker and emitting an increasingly ancient aura. By the time Yin Xuege had devoured all the essence blood of the python, his innate bat wings had turned a deep blood red, and ancient demonic runes faintly appeared on them.

These ancient demonic runes were the six demonic runes that Yin Xuege had comprehended when he awakened his innate bat wings!

Over 90% of the medicinal power in the python's body was stored in this pair of innate bat wings. This power was so thick and strong that even Yin Xuege found it difficult to flap his wings. It was like a seven- or eight-year-old child trying to wield a heavy hammer; Yin Xuege's own demonic power and physical strength were not enough to activate this pair of innate bat wings, which stored such immense power!

He could only gradually absorb the essence blood power in the bat wings in the future, Yin Xuege told himself helplessly.

With a bitter laugh, Yin Xuege tore off his tattered clothes, which were almost in shreds, and threw them on the ground. The Blood Spirit Sword, the remaining two blood thunders, and the two six-leaf golden ginseng he had picked were also thrown on the ground. Everyone could see that Yin Xuege's naked body had nothing else on it.

What satisfied Yin Xuege was that the silver jade cicada on his chest, sensing the gazes of the people around him, had turned into a silver light and entered his body before he tore off his tattered clothes. Not only the ordinary members of the Yin and Jiang clans, but even Yin Tianjue and Jiang Rusheng did not notice that Yin Xuege had such a strange item on him.

Jiang Rusheng's sharp gaze swept over Yin Xuege's body and then quickly over the Blood Spirit Sword, blood thunders, and golden ginseng on the ground.

Nodding in satisfaction, Jiang Rusheng asked softly, "Little friend Xuege, what did you encounter just now?"

Yin Xuege took a wide robe from Yin Tianjue, wrapped it around his body, and then, following the instructions of the Jade Flower World Spirit, fabricated a story.

He told Jiang Rusheng that after being swept out of the great array, he landed in a forest surrounded by mist, unable to see anything else. He stayed in the forest for a long time but couldn't find a way out, only managing to pick two golden ginseng plants.

Finally, Yin Xuege, growing impatient, tried to attack the trees in the mist with the Blood Demon secret technique. Countless green thunderbolts then struck him. Unable to withstand the green thunder attacks, Yin Xuege, in a helpless situation, threw the blood thunder given to him by Yin Tianjue, which destroyed a large area of the forest, allowing him to escape.

Jiang Rusheng carefully asked about the state of the white mist and green thunder that Yin Xuege had encountered. Yin Xuege, following the Jade Flower World Spirit's instructions, described the flexible resistance in the white mist and the shape and power of the green thunder in great detail.

Jiang Tuochen listened for a while, then exhaled heavily and nodded, looking at Yin Xuege with relief. "Little friend Xuege, you have great fortune! The small array you encountered was clearly the '49th Metal God Thunder Array.' You were lucky to accidentally destroy the array's base and escape from it."

Yin Xuege looked at Jiang Tuochen blankly. At this moment, he wasn't acting; he was genuinely stunned, not knowing what the so-called 49th Metal God Thunder Array was. Not just him, even the elders of the Yin clan, including Yin Tianjue, were confused and looked at Jiang Tuochen with bewilderment.
