Chapter 1114: Chapter 1115: The Five Divine Blade Patriarchs
This treasure land is unexpectedly at the edge of the Blood World, which saves quite a bit of trouble.
Chu Fengmian glanced over and discovered that this treasure land is actually located on the outskirts of the Blood World, which is a minor news to Chu Fengmian.
Generally, treasure lands are clustered in the center of the Blood World, so most martial artists entering it opt to head towards the center hoping to acquire large quantities of Bloodstones.
On the outskirts, the chances of encountering other martial artists are much lower, and the information won’t leak out.
"Here are seventy thousand Bloodstones, Mr. Chu can check them."
Ouyang Li’s palm moved, and a Space Ring flew towards Chu Fengmian.
Chu Fengmian opened the Space Ring, casting his gaze on the densely packed Bloodstones, a full seventy thousand, not missing a single one.
"Good."
Seeing these Bloodstones, Chu Fengmian’s heart immediately wanted to refine them, but he quickly suppressed this excitement.
Although refining these seventy thousand Bloodstones is enough to boost Chu Fengmian’s power, it’s not sufficient for a complete transformation, so Chu Fengmian decided to keep them for now.
He planned to collect enough Bloodstones, at least accumulating a hundred thousand, to devour them all at once, allowing his bloodline to ascend and his realm to break through, only then would Chu Fengmian undergo a genuine transformation.
"I wonder when Mr. Chu plans to set off? The martial artist demon gods recruited by our Ancient Serpent Commerce are already waiting and can set off at any time."
Ouyang Li looked at Chu Fengmian, asking.
"No need to wait, we’ll set off now."
Chu Fengmian spoke directly, holding these seventy thousand Bloodstones in his hand, not planning to refine them anytime soon. It would be better to head directly to the Blood World and find more Bloodstones, to later devour them all at once, elevate the bloodline and break through the realm.
Having encountered Ouyang Li, Chu Fengmian felt even more tension; even if he used the Soaring Snake Transformation or the Heavenly Dragon Transformation’s power, defeating Ouyang Li and escaping from him would require a significant price.
Chu Fengmian originally thought that encountering a quasi-emperor, even if he couldn’t defeat them, he could at least retreat safely. But upon meeting someone like Ouyang Li, Chu Fengmian understood.
The quasi-emperor level is still vast; Ouyang Li’s power is more terrifying than ten venerable masters, and what’s more, Chu Fengmian could easily defeat the venerable master because they were somewhat careless and didn’t take Chu Fengmian seriously.
Otherwise, even if Chu Fengmian could defeat a venerable master, it would still require more strategies and time. Defeating a quasi-emperor is not that simple, and killing a venerable master is not something Chu Fengmian can accomplish now.
Slaying a quasi-emperor is much more difficult than defeating them; the confrontation with the venerable master was largely about pride and not a true life-and-death battle.
His true trump card hasn’t been exposed; if it were truly a life-and-death battle, the result might be different. However, Chu Fengmian also has hidden cards, and in a true life-and-death battle, the venerable master would still die.
But at present, even exposing all his cards, Chu Fengmian is not a match for Ouyang Li; Chu Fengmian at least needs to elevate his bloodline, break through to the Heavenly Realm, to genuinely contend with Ouyang Li.
"Alright, then let’s set off."
Ouyang Li waved his hand, initiating a Teleportation Array in front of Chu Fengmian.
"Mr. Chu, please follow me."
After saying this, Ouyang Li was the first to enter, with Chu Fengmian right behind, stepping into the Teleportation Array.
Suddenly the surrounding scenery shifted, and Chu Fengmian felt that he had crossed a vast region, arriving at a unique location in the imperial city.
After leaving the Teleportation Array, a scent of blood assaulted his senses.
Chu Fengmian opened his eyes and looked ahead, seeing a spatial rift a hundred meters high; the scent of blood was emanating from this rift.
"It seems this is the entrance to the Blood World."
From the scent of blood, Chu Fengmian couldn’t distinguish how many kinds of blood essence merged into one. Martial artists dying in the Blood World each year number in the millions.
Their blood essence becomes part of the Blood World, making it impossible to tell which person it belongs to.
In front of the rift stood five martial artists, seemingly waiting for something, conversing as they waited.
These five martial artists were all supreme ancestors of the Immortal Realm and not just recent breakthroughs; each had at least reached the level of Vice President Hong Mu and Vice President Ghost God.
Their bodies exuded a murderous aura, indicating they had likely slain countless lives; the aura alone could make someone hesitate to approach.
When they saw Ouyang Li emerge, they ceased their conversation and walked over.
"Ouyang President, how much longer do we need to wait?"
Among the five, a man with a scar on his face, seemingly in his forties, stepped forward hurriedly to ask.
"We have been waiting for nearly several days; if we don’t set off soon, that treasure land might be discovered by others."
"Elder Wang Blade, no need to worry; the last person for this journey has been chosen."
Ouyang Li’s expression was calm as he glanced at Chu Fengmian beside him and spoke.
"This young Mr. Chu Fengmian is the last member of this expedition, and he will join you as the team leader for exploring the treasure land."
"Oh? This kid is the last one?"
Old Ancestor Wang Blade cast a cold glance at Chu Fengmian, his face turning icy upon seeing Chu Fengmian’s realm.
"We’ve waited so long for a mere Heavenly Fate Realm kid? President Ouyang, I don’t know this kid’s background, but he should be taken away. A mere Heavenly Fate Realm kid entering the Blood World is just sending him to his death, and he’ll only get in the way."
"That’s right, it doesn’t matter whether he goes or not, but such a Heavenly Fate Realm kid can lead us? A mere Heavenly Fate Realm kid, what qualifications does he have?"
A middle-aged man standing beside him spoke as well.
"We’re fine with Elder Wang leading, but letting a mere Heavenly Fate Realm kid ride over our heads is absolutely impossible. If President Ouyang insists, we will not take part in this mission."
Another supreme ancestor spoke coldly.
They all stared at Chu Fengmian with icy eyes full of hostility.
