Chapter 1804 - 1098: Ultimate Malice

Jhiang Chenyu paused and looked at her for a long moment, then rose, gripping the sword.

"Call me if anything is needed."

As she was leaving, behind her was the cold yet frivolous voice of Wu Jue.

"Can’t call you unless there’s something? Can’t call if I miss you?"

Jhiang Chenyu turned to look at her, Wu Jue didn’t back down, smiling faintly.

"Judge others by oneself."

Then she left.

Wu Jue gave a sinister look toward Sui Yi and sneered: Ha ha.

And left too.

Sui Yi looked helpless: "Does it have anything to do with me?"

Gu Sansi: "Ha ha."

Sui Yi: "...."

It’s like everyone is turning the sky upside down.

————————

Blood Refining Stele area.

The Human Race has increased significantly, likely because the master’s who were outside have returned and are eager to exchange battle achievements, as though afraid that the Foreign Race will decline and the Outer Domain Battlefield will fall into disarray.

Sui Yi didn’t encounter any familiar faces this time, and switched to a different one, still youthful in appearance. Upon arriving at the Blood Refining Stele area, she opened a Blood Banyan Cave, leaving sixty Witch Race Celestial Cocoon, and directly killed twenty-seven out of thirty, leaving three: one from Blade Shadow, Meng Jia, and Poison Vein respectively.

After killing twenty-seven cocoons, Sui Yi picked up the Blood Stele to look.

She was stunned, ten million?

She originally had two million, how did it suddenly jump to ten million?

Sui Yi pondered for a moment before confirming that the last life-threatening blow from Poison Vein Emperor was claimed under her name.

As a Supreme, especially the highest ruler of a Foreign Race, its head is certainly worth millions, not to mention that twenty-seven cocoons were all Heavenly Venerate...

Regardless, according to the calculations of the Blood Refining Stele, her battle achievements indeed reached ten million.

But these achievements are only too little, not too much.

Sui Yi wasn’t idly concerned with this.

Arriving in front of the Blood Refining Stele, still the same mask.

"Jie Jie, as expected of the High Priest, truly formidable, actually killed the Poison Vein Emperor... you aren’t even of Great Celestial Venerable cultivation level."

"You’re too kind."

"Using up ten million in achievements, you want me to help revive that Li Yuling?"

Even ten million achievements can only revive one person, Li Yuling.

The cost would frighten anyone, not to mention the Blood Refining Stele won’t resurrect immediately, but requires her to descend into the Blood Refining Pool...

"No need for direct revival."

"I only exchange for the Bloodline Bead... their bloodline aura will be provided, and you will offer the corresponding Bloodline Bead."

"Alright, it seems you have other divine skills at hand..."

The Blood Refining Stele evidently held some fear of Sui Yi and didn’t ask much.

"However, as previously agreed, since this is a defiance against heaven, regardless of whether they can live, part of the heavenly retribution will fall upon me, so you must descend into the Blood Refining Pool to help bear this heavenly punishment."

Sui Yi nodded.

As it is heavenly retribution, one must receive something first and then discuss...

Blood Refining Stele opened its mouth, spitting out a palm-sized card.

This is the Savings Card, containing hidden items.

Sui Yi caught it and saw ten thousand red gleaming Blood Beads inside, the blood aura completely contained.

Finally obtained, Sui Yi is unsure how many can be saved with these Bloodline Beads, but at least, certainly more than just Li Yuling.

Of course... Sui Yi also saw the thunder rolling in the sky.

Moreover, it’s Blood Thunder.

Indeed, heavenly retribution is here.

Those exchanging battle achievements were startled by such disturbances, while those who hadn’t redeemed rushed from Blood Trace Forest...

A lot of masters from shops outside Blood Trace Forest ran out.

"What’s happening!"

"It’s over there at the Blood Refining Stele, did someone exchange for some extraordinary treasure?"

"Must have exchanged for something worth millions in achievements, right?"

"Couldn’t it be our top master Zhang Han?"

Many people speculated, but those with insight scoffed.

"What extraordinary treasure, it’s a defiance against heaven!"

"Once, Supreme Yun was the first to trigger heavenly retribution at the Blood Refining Stele, not knowing what was exchanged, causing a terrifying heavenly punishment, hence having to personally enter the Blood Refining Pool but was the only one to emerge alive..."

The speaker was no ordinary person but one of the Admirals of the Six Armies.

Being an Admiral naturally entails extensive knowledge.

"Don’t know who is attempting to defy heaven today..."

Many felt puzzled and wondered...

Sui Yi, however, already entered the pool.

Previously, it was said to be one month, now two million changed to ten million, turning over more than five times.

Clearly requiring half a year.

The Blood Refining Stele intended to make this High Priest endure harshness, yet didn’t know Sui Yi internally found amusement.

She originally thought of descending into the Blood Refining Pool to view the Blood Refining Totem, and since her cultivation in the Totem had reached a bottleneck, it’s time to concentrate on training...

However, Sui Yi soon discovered she underestimated the ferocity of the Blood Pool.

Upon entering the Blood Pool, the blood inside wasn’t ordinary life blood, but absorbed the malice and murderous aura of the entire Outer Domain Battlefield, forming Extreme Evil Blood; even a single drop can cause the Heavenly Venerate’s mind to become chaotic, turning vicious to evil, let alone the entire pool.

Upon entering, Sui Yi felt her Witch Body couldn’t resist such ferocity, the evil blood invaded, destroying the flesh texture and consuming, naturally an intense agony.

Yet Sui Yi has endured many extreme pains, this physical torment she gritted her teeth and endured.

Just as she endured the pain of the Extreme Evil, divine retribution descended...

The ferocity of the Blood Pool’s evil force suddenly surged tenfold.

It wasn’t just the physical devastation; it was a torment of the soul!

In that mere second, Sui Yi’s Witch Body’s flesh was destroyed halfway, revealing bone, and even the bones started to break inch by inch...

As for the soul...

Indescribable.

Sui Yi closed her eyes.

Does it hurt?

Hurt long enough and you become numb, numbness becomes habit, habit...

After some time, she opened her eyes.

In her eyes, the gaze was steady, clear to the bottom.

Ultimate restraint, ultimate calmness, this is the High Priest.

Where her gaze landed was the Blood Refining Stele standing in the center of the pool, in the blood waters, Sui Yi could see the totem on it.

This pool was extremely deep, and the Blood Refining Stele was far more than just the exposed section; there’s at least several kilometers below...

Sui Yi started examining from the top section submerged underwater...

The first totem was one she had comprehended before.

Skip.

The second was unfamiliar.

Begin comprehension!

The totem will here was so strong, and for the present Sui Yi, comprehension was tens of times more effective, so quickly the totem was comprehended...

Third, fourth...

One after another, continuing downward.

Of course, Sui Yi’s soul and body were tormented amidst such evil, but like Sun Wukong forged Eyes of Golden Flame and formidable physique in the alchemy furnace, Sui Yi was experiencing the same principle.

Fortune and misfortune depend on each other!

————————

Sui Yi at the Blood Refining Pool’s bottom progressed significantly each day, while outside, the winds of change blew.

Half a year later, the place of the Blood Refining Stele appeared much more desolate and withered than six months ago, due to the deep night, it became even more silent, nearly void of people.

Beside the Blood Refining Stele, a person stood with hands behind their back at the pool’s outer circle; this person was cloaked in black, face obscured by black mist, making it impossible to discern features, even the body’s shape was unclear, only appearing overwhelmingly tall.

He stood there like the Ghost King of the night...

"Sect Leader..."

A few ghostly figures arrived behind him.

The man in black reached out; these figures extended their hands, and thousands of Blood Steles floated beside him.

This person directly sold them to the Blood Refining Stele; naturally, even if others couldn’t hear his conversation with it, there’s no other use for so many Blood Steles.

It’s uncertain how much battle achievement these numerous Blood Steles yielded.

However, estimating, most mid-low level cultivators might accumulate hundreds to thousands of achievements, at one-tenth, estimating with a hundred, these thousands of Blood Steles add up to nearly a million achievements.

Soon, the Blood Stele mask spat out two emblems...

The man received the emblems, tucked them in his sleeve, "Half a year for only two... the speed is still too slow."

"Sect Leader, please calm down... mainly because people from the Outer Domain Battlefield have returned to the Human Race base... strangely, recently the Foreign Race has been especially quiet, while internally in the Human Race, something seems to have..."

The man turned back to glance, causing the other to fall silent, seemingly knowing he’d said something excessive.

This Sect Leader lingered not a moment longer, departing like a phantom...

The subordinates naturally left as well.

They walked for about a quarter-hour...

The Blood Refining Stele mask floated on the blood water surface, letting out a low chuckle.

"Time’s up and still not willing to come out, seems this time I’ve let Imperial Crown take advantage"

A face surfaced, undoubtedly Sui Yi, but now without disguise, it was her original face, yet it felt a bit colder and seemed to carry an inward feeling of Extreme Evil.

But once Sui Yi exited the Blood Pool, in an instant she transformed into an ordinary, elegant young person.

She stood where that Sect Leader had stood, glanced in their departed direction, and said softly: "Hidden Gate"

"You are asking me? But you have no achievements left" the Blood Refining Stele chuckled.

"What is apparent doesn’t need to be asked by you... but if you were to answer everything, obtaining more achievements would be no trouble"

The Blood Refining Stele floated in the air, seeming more transparent from the words, its voice somewhat faint.

"I’m commanded by heaven, born by rules, some things cannot be spoken even if known, just like some things known still forgotten... within the mysteries, there are predestined outcomes"

The mask disappeared, everything returned to silence.

Sui Yi looked up to the sky, clear starry night, resembling a dream.

Right... previously that Hidden Gate person mentioned the Outer Domain Battlefield’s Foreign Race and Human Race internally seemed to encounter some situation...

After all, it has been half a year.

Only half a year.

But earlier she mentioned to Gu Sansi and others, now she won’t be wasting time here...

Sui Yi took a step, leaving the Blood Trace Forest, if someone saw, they might be shocked.

—Even Great Celestial Venerable couldn’t bypass Blood Trace Forest’s flight restrictions, who could move so fast to teleport?

Supreme!

At least Sui Yi’s speed now matched a Supreme!

She reached the outside Blood Banyan area, finding only a few scattered businesses open, some even preparing to close.

Among them was a noodle shop.

Sui Yi stepped forward.

"Boss, a bowl of seafood noodles please."

"Coming right up!"

The boss chuckled and soon brought out a bowl.
