Chapter 808 Myriad Blood Bead (Part 2)

As the words fell, the chaotic airflow around him surged, and he directly detonated his own cultivation, rushing towards the group of white-haired cultivators.

The violent explosion instantly swept through the entire underground space, countless broken limbs splattered, and the scent of blood, even after enduring through eternity, remained distinctly detectable.

Li Ji’an watched quietly, a storm raging in his heart.

This was the first time he so clearly understood the reason for the ancient cataclysm.

Just as True Man Wutong had said back then, it was the ideological conflict between traditional cultivators and the new Dharma cultivators that triggered the prolonged inner war.

And that inner war was the root cause of the cataclysm.

The battle in the recorded image continued, repeating the ancient massacre over and over.

Li Ji’an observed for a long time, noting down the details of the dialogue and combat between both parties, before turning his attention to the depths of the underground space.

At this moment, the True Dragon Essence Blood within him suddenly began to agitate fiercely, a strong attraction emanating from the very center of the underground space.

Li Ji’an’s heart moved as he steered his sensing of qi and blood toward the source of the attraction.

It was a dark red pearl floating in mid-air, roughly the size of a fist, its surface flowing with dense blood patterns, surrounded by blood evil qi so intense, yet strangely refined and unyielding.

“This is…” Li Ji’an’s eyes narrowed as he began to carefully observe his surroundings.

The central area of the underground space had a ground with a mysterious bluish-black hue, with chilly air in excess compared to other places.

There were no residual thoughts captured here, as if it were the core of this ancient battlefield.

Li Ji’an gradually formed a speculation in his mind.

This must be a place of ultimate yin, where countless cultivators perished in ancient times, and their essence blood, under the unique environment of the place, gathered over eternity to form this pearl.

“Let’s call it the Myriad Blood Pearl,” Li Ji’an murmured softly to himself.

This Myriad Blood Pearl was born from calamity, containing endless blood fiend and pure qi and blood.

If combined with the Blood River Ancestor’s conjecture of using blood fiend to resist the celestial tribulation, it might truly help him cross the Nascent Soul celestial tribulation.

What delighted him even more was that the sensing from the True Dragon Essence Blood indicated that this Myriad Blood Pearl not only could continuously provide blood fiend but could also refine the bloodline.

Gugu is a Tier Three middle-stage Golden Core Great Demon, and its bloodline potential still has room for exploration.

Using this Myriad Blood Pearl to refine its bloodline might help it break through its bottleneck and advance further.

Having made up his mind, Li Ji’an no longer hesitated and directed Gugu to fly towards the center of the underground space.

As soon as they got within a hundred-zhang range of the Myriad Blood Pearl, a vast and fierce aura suddenly surged out from behind the broken wall beside them.

A black shadow slowly emerged, formed by numerous residual souls, wearing ancient battle armor and holding a broken spear—exactly the shadow formed by the residual thoughts of ancient cultivators who died in battle.

This entity had no self-awareness, driven solely by pure killing instinct, and upon sensing Li Ji’an’s presence, it immediately let out a silent roar and thrust its spear towards him.

The spear sliced through the air with the power to tear divine souls.

Li Ji’an’s eyes sharpened as he darted out from Gugu’s mouth, his blue-gold qi and blood surged around him. He then gestured a technique, condensing the qi and blood into a blue-gold long blade, and struck it out accordingly.

The full power of his Tier Three late-period body cultivation erupted without reservation, clashing with the spear.

“Bang!”

After the loud crash, the black shadow paused slightly, the fierce aura on the spear dissipating somewhat.

Li Ji’an also got shaken back two steps, secretly startled by the entity’s formidable strength.

This entity was formed by countless ancient cultivators’ residual thoughts, washed over endless years by the blood fiend of ultimate yin.

Ordinary magic techniques were ineffective against it; only the power of qi and blood could inflict damage.

Li Ji’an held nothing back, activating the True Dragon Essence Blood within him, mixing a trace of golden dragon aura in the blue-gold qi and blood, and charged towards the entity again.

The man and the entity engaged in fierce battle within the underground space.

Every punch from Li Ji’an dissipated a portion of the entity’s shadow.

But the entity, relying on the blood fiend emitted by the Myriad Blood Pearl, quickly reformed again.

Repeatedly, the battle reached a stalemate.

Li Ji’an furrowed his brow, knowing this was not the way to go.

His mind moved as he began to recite, gesturing a special technique with both hands.

This was the ‘Rebirth Curse’ he had learned from an ancient book, specifically to dissolve the grievances of the dead.

As he moved the technique, gentle golden light spread from his body.

Wherever the golden light passed, the fierce aura on the entity quickly dissipated.

It let out a sound of agonizing wailing, and its form started to destabilize.

Li Ji’an seized the opportunity, triggered the True Dragon Essence Blood, and condensed his blue-gold qi and blood into a sharp beam, wrapped with golden dragon qi, stabbing directly at the core of the entity.

“Boom!”

The black shadow instantly collapsed, transforming into countless tiny light points that gradually disappeared under the golden light of the Rebirth Curse.

After dealing with the entity, Li Ji’an stepped forward, cautiously collecting the Myriad Blood Pearl into his hand.

The pearl was warm when he touched it, and a surge of pure qi and blood flowed along his arm into his body, making the True Dragon Essence Blood become increasingly active.

He safely secured the Myriad Blood Pearl, once again entered Gugu’s mouth, and flew towards the ground.

Moments later, Li Ji’an returned to the Blood River Grand Array.

He did not immediately dismantle the array but sat down cross-legged, placing the Myriad Blood Pearl in front of him.

Then, he activated the True Dragon Essence Blood inside him, slowly releasing the power of absorption.

The endless blood fiend within the Blood River Grand Array, as if finding its vent, madly surged towards his body.
