However, the Blood Demon Sea in the Celestial River Kingdom is merely a low-level Blood Demon Sea. The top tier Great Blood Demons are almost nonexistent, mainly comprising lower and middle tier Great Blood Demons.
With Chu Ming’s current strength, as long as he carefully searches, the risk remains quite low.
Along the way, Chu Ming encountered many Blood Demons, but they were only ordinary Blood Demons, whose strength was merely in the Transcendence Realm, all of which were killed by Chu Ming’s sword.
While traversing the Blood Demon Sea, one must be cautious not only of Blood Demons but also of other Martial Artists around. If they seize an opportunity, they will surely kick you while you’re down; robbery and murder are common occurrences in the Blood Demon Sea.
When the Celestial Daoist eradicated the Blood Hand Association’s base in the Great Yan Kingdom, he encountered Blood Corpse Daoist, who has been wandering around the Blood Demon Sea. However, the Blood Demon Sea where Blood Corpse Daoist resides is undoubtedly much more advanced than the one in the Celestial River Kingdom. In the Blood Demon Sea, Blood Corpse Daoist’s strength receives a slight boost.
Chu Ming’s ears twitched as a strange sound reached them. He turned his head to see two blood-colored shadows rapidly emerging from the ground, transforming into two sharp Blood Arrows rushing towards him with a whistling sound.
Chu Ming stepped lightly, and the Blue Red Sword instantly unsheathed. A burst of red Bursting Fire Essence emanated from his sword, wielding the aura of a wildfire, causing the surrounding space to slightly boil.
"Starfire Extinction!"
Squinting his eyes, Chu Ming slashed at the two Blood Arrows. The Blood Arrows were obstructed and instantly rebounded, emitting piercing shrieks that shook his eardrums.
"Two lower tier Great Blood Demons?"
Chu Ming was slightly surprised and then gained a deeper understanding of the resilient life force of Blood Demons. Previously, he had encountered only ordinary Blood Demons, who couldn’t withstand even one of his attacks. Now, faced with lower tier Great Blood Demons, they hadn’t been killed by his single slashing strike.
One must know that lower tier Great Blood Demons in terms of strength are only comparable to Martial Artists in the True Dao Third Layer. Ordinary Martial Artists in the True Dao Third Layer couldn’t withstand one of his attacks. Now, two Great Blood Demons had taken his strike without injury, proving them incredibly resilient.
Blood Demons were enveloped in a layer of blood-colored mist, with blood shadows formed from countless blood drops, lacking a face, extremely evil. An ordinary person who comes into contact with a bit of Blood Demon Qi will be plagued by illnesses and won’t survive a month.
The two Great Blood Demons laughed bizarrely and launched another attack towards Chu Ming, their bodies wrapped in Blood Qi, exceedingly evil.
Chu Ming swung his sword, infusing it with Slaughter Sword Intent. Instantly, the Blue Red Sword seemed like a Rootless Flower burning slowly. Black and blood-colored sword shadows intertwined dramatically.
Thrust thrust thrust...
This time, the two Great Blood Demons started burning as soon as they came into contact with Chu Ming’s Sword Aura, their bodies gradually fading into the void, with no chance of survival.
Chu Ming’s figure flashed as he continued searching for Blood Spirit Flowers, weaving through the Blood Demon Sea.
Not far from Chu Ming, another plain-clothed Martial Artist was fiercely battling a Great Blood Demon.
The Great Blood Demon shrieked eerily as its body swelled and instantly appeared beside the plain-clothed Martial Artist. Under the horrified gaze of the plain-clothed Martial Artist, the Great Blood Demon dragged him into the blood mist.
The sounds of rustling emerged; within two breaths, much of the blood mist had dispersed. Scattered clothing dropped on the ground as the plain-clothed Martial Artist’s entire essence and blood had been drained by the Great Blood Demon, leaving human skin behind. As the blood mist thickened, it became more terrifying.
The Great Blood Demon lingered momentarily, exuding an evil aura. It slowly sank into the ground, quietly awaiting the arrival of the next Martial Artist. In reality, this scene unfolded continuously throughout the Blood Demon Sea.
Human Martial Artists enter the Blood Demon Sea searching for Blood Spirit Flowers, while the Blood Demons within the Blood Demon Sea strive to consume humans to strengthen themselves.
Even so, countless Martial Artists still venture into the Blood Demon Sea, mainly because the temptation of Blood Spirit Flowers is too great. Obtaining one can save Martial Artists considerable time in cultivating.
They can use this time to pursue higher Martial Artist realms. Due to the allure of Blood Spirit Flowers, it’s common for brothers to turn against each other and for couples to become enemies.
"The blood qi in this space is extremely abundant, likely indicating the presence of Blood Spirit Flowers."
Closing his eyes to sense the surrounding blood qi, Chu Ming thought to himself.
Blood Spirit Flowers grow by absorbing surrounding blood qi. Generally speaking, the more abundant the blood qi, the higher the chance of Blood Spirit Flowers growing. However, this isn’t absolute; this place could also be a desolate blood wasteland.
Chu Ming’s eyes flashed, immediately drawn to a blood-colored flower not far away. The flower had three petals, with blood-colored veins running through them, appearing delicate and lustrous, its abundant blood energy making Chu Ming feel invigorated with just a single breath.
"A hundred-year-old Blood Spirit Flower."
Blood Spirit Flowers are classified by age, with increasing years raising their value. Generally, in low-level Blood Demon Seas like those in the Celestial River Kingdom, five-hundred-year-old Blood Spirit Flowers are nonexistent. Three-hundred-year Blood Spirit Flowers are considered the most precious. Although a hundred-year Blood Spirit Flower is inferior, it’s enough for Chu Ming.
A gust of wind whizzed past his ears. Chu Ming stomped on the ground lightly, his body swiftly darting to the side of the Blood Spirit Flower. Reaching out to pick it, his face suddenly changed. Almost instantly, the Blue Red Sword unsheathed, slashing towards the front.
White sword aura shattered inch by inch, illuminating the entire space. Amidst the flowing white robes, Chu Ming’s figure retreated, a majestic aura rising from the front.
Thrust thrust thrust...
Numerous blood-colored tentacles were severed by Chu Ming’s single strike, fading into the void. At this moment, Chu Ming managed to look up at the front.
A hulking Great Blood Demon, teeming with vigorous blood energy, swung countless tentacles across the ground, creating deep fissures. The blood energy of this Great Blood Demon was three to four times more massive than the previous ones Chu Ming had encountered.
"A nearly evolved lower tier Great Blood Demon?"
Chu Ming’s face shifted slightly. The Great Blood Demon before him far surpassed the usual lower tier ones, evidently on the brink of evolution. He glanced at the Blood Spirit Flower nearby, instantly understanding that the Great Blood Demon must have been lurking here, devouring all Martial Artists trying to pick the flower.
The terrifying Great Blood Demon laughed hideously, its body darted swiftly through the air. Countless tentacles from the surroundings coiled towards Chu Ming in an instant.
