Chapter 1535: Eternal Demon Emperor Bloodstains
The dark forest reeked with an unsettling eeriness. An inhospitable chill mingled with the scent of blood, a.s.sailing them in waves.
Seeing this dark forest surprised the trio. At the same time, it put them on high alert against the aura coming from the dark forest.
It was a desolate feel, and evidently the pendants were leading them here. There was definitely something unimaginable here. Something they had yet to see the likes of within the Demon Immortal Realm.
"Let"s go. On and in. Be careful. React at the first sign of danger." Wu Yu warned Full Moon of Nanshan and Ye Xixi, and then led the way into the gloomy dense greenery.
This dark forest was huge, and the jet black trunks leered and loomed over them. Each tree was a giant in its own right, their branches stretching out to blanket the sky. Each of their branches were big as an island in the mortal domain. It was a breathtaking sight.
They could feel the intensely chilly aura within this dark forest. It was oppressive and uncomfortable to walk in.
"This place. It"s not like the others. There must be something special here."
Full Moon of Nanshan fanned himself, his eyes darting all around. He too had a foreboding feeling, sensing something different about this place.
Even he had stowed his beauty-seeking heart. After all, he knew that it wasn"t likely that any beauty was going to appear here anyway. If one did appear, she was definitely going to be a problem.
"Pendants" reactions are getting stronger."
Wu Yu observed, the deeper they walked into the dark forest. Gradually, they started to see large patches of blood splattered across the canopy above them.
These bloodstains looked close to dry. However, they could still sense some freshness coming form them. It made Wu Yu recall the Ancient Demon Realm situation from before.
"Could these be the bloodstains of the fallen eternal demon emperors?" Wu Yu wondered to himself. He was still paying attention to everything around him. Other demon immortals would not come to this place. Perhaps only he could pa.s.s through these void fragments.
If there was no other hidden danger in the dark forest, he could perhaps test if these bloodstains were of use to him. Listening to Su Muyin"s tale that devouring the eternal demon emperors could help the demon immortals progress had given Wu Yu many ideas.
He indeed had the devouring power. If he could use it on the eternal demon emperor corpses, it would definitely be much more beneficial than what the demon immortals got. If the blood here had come from the ancient eternal demon emperors, then they were naturally part of the eternal demon emperor corpses. The question was whether it would be beneficial to him.
"I wonder what in the world the Demon Immortal Realm went through. To even have the void shatter - I can"t imagine it. And all the eternal demon emperors dead......" As he glanced around the dark forest, Wu Yu started to wonder about the half-dry bloodstains. A pity that his deep thinking was not going to help anything. After all, it was impossible to find out more about these things. All he could do now was to press on to see if he could sniff out more clues.
Thinking of how much the whale corpse puppet had helped him, Wu Yu would definitely not hold back on this powerful looking blood. These blood stains had been here for goodness knew how long, and yet still retained some freshness, which implied that their owners must be truly G.o.dly beings.
Using his Realm of Immortal Spirit power, he gestured strongly, and he could see the ancient bloodstains gathering within the dark forest. They gathered and gathered until they almost formed a small lake. As the ancient bloodstains came together, their vitality fused as well, until the pool of fresh blood started to churn a little.
Full Moon of Nanshan"s eyes were a little wild. "I say, Old Wu, you have some strange tastes, to even want to devour this ancient blood! I wonder if the blood belongs to some demon beauty of old. Heeheehee!"
He could see Wu Yu"s intent, and cracked some quips to alleviate the sinister air that hung upon them.
Ye Xixi harrumphed softly. "Only a pighead like you would think like that. Big brother must be trying to see if he can glean anything from the old blood."
"Keke, of course I know that. Would I need a little girl like you to lecture me? Can"t you let a handsome prince like myself dream a little about which beauty contributed the blood?" Full Moon of Nanshan turned a grinning and unrepentant face towards her.
"Eurgh! I"m going to vomit!" Ye Xixi made retching actions. She could not stand this guy.
Wu Yu ignored their banter. He continued to acc.u.mulate the ancient blood. He did not know what kind of eternal demon emperor had fallen in this dark forest. Perhaps most of the blood had already dried up. The remaining blood frothed furiously at being joined together, a roaring lake that stretched beyond one"s horizons.
But although it had formed a lake of blood, the blood might not even be one part of a hundred thousand of what it used to be.
The fresh blood-water continued to come together, concentrating the vitality within. One could only imagine how mighty the owners of the blood must have been. They must definitely have been experts at the Eternal Immortality Realm.
As Wu Yu gathered all the blood here, he ascertained that not a single drop was left in the dark forest. He finally decided to act. He used his devouring on the sea of blood. He could feel the vigorous essence within, an essence that was going to be of incredible help in building Wu Yu"s immortal body!
This delighted Wu Yu. The essence within the blood was as strong as dao marks, and could also elevate his enlightenment level greatly. He originally thought that the blood, having sat for so long, might be of limited use, but it now seemed like his worries were unfounded.
The sea of blood might bring him even more improvement than the Ancient Demon Realm had. A pity that the blood here did not hold the memories of the eternal demon emperors that had died. It seemed like their memories had been washed clean away by the tide of time.
However, just by the dao imbued in this blood, and the robust essence within, it was enough to bring Wu Yu"s cultivation realm to a new level.
"This place doesn"t seem too dangerous. I"ve already caused such a huge stir. If there"s any danger, it would already have shown itself."
Wu Yu finished imbibing all the blood. He knew that with his enlightenment reaching a new level, it was the best time for him to breakthrough.
Next, he himself went into the Floating Dreams PaG.o.da, having Full Moon of Nanshan sit on guard for a spell. This place was extremely boring for him, but Full Moon of Nanshan knew that Wu Yu was in a critical time nearing breakthrough, and would definitely not do anything foolish.
The final dao for Wu Yu was his Dao of Devouring. He was currently an 8-realm immortal lord. All he had to do was to put the last immortal dao mark into his immortal spirit world nucleus and he would reach completion, the pinnacle of the Immortal Lord Realm. His fighting power would naturally evolve drastically, since he had completed a realm of cultivation.
Within the Floating Dreams PaG.o.da, 1000 years pa.s.sed, and the thoughts and power that Wu Yu absorbed fully from the sea of blood plenished his immortal spirit world nucleus and fused the ninth immortal dao mark in. Wu Yu had finally completed the Immortal Lord Realm!
As for his Realm of Physical Body, the rich vigors of the bloodstains had also strengthened it to completion. Wu Yu could now be considered a double-barreled 9-realm immortal lord. His Immortal Lord Realm was whole, and ordinary 9-realm immortal lords were worlds apart from him!
"Seems like these eternal demon emperor corpses are of great use to me. They seem much more efficacious compared to what the other demon immortals get. And the pendants seem to be able to help me find eternal demon emperor corpses. What a pleasant surprise." Wu Yu had finally succeeded in cultivating the entire sea of blood.
After emerging from the Floating Dreams PaG.o.da, there had been no changes in the dark forest, except Full Moon of Nanshan being close to death (from boredom). Wu Yu had been in the Floating Dreams PaG.o.da for 1000 years, and he had no beauty as companion. The days had been dry to him. Of course, if he had a beauty with him, he would not mind waiting even another 1000 years.
After emerging, Wu Yu studied the two pendants closely. He noticed that neither reacted any more. It seemed like there was no other trace of eternal demon emperor within the dark forest.
Wu Yu stowed the pendants, fully aware of how much he had gained in this time. Besides him, Full Moon of Nanshan and Ye Xixi would also gain from this. Wu Yu"s devouring had filled him up this time, and the suitable ones among his numerous new revelations would be imparted to Full Moon of Nanshan and Ye Xixi.
"Alright, alright, come on then."
Full Moon of Nanshan made a lewd expression, closing his eyes in full antic.i.p.ation of incoming pleasure. Beside him, Ye Xixi dearly wanted to give him a slap. How could someone be this incorrigible?
Wu Yu was long used to Full Moon of Nanshan"s ways. Each time he Imparted to him, this guy was always both angel and devil. It made one want to punch him.
Wu Yu did not waste words, imparting the revelations from the bloodstains to Full Moon of Nanshan in a crude manner.
"Argh! Ah yes, yes, yes."
Full Moon of Nanshan groaned in pleasure, his eyes shut. Ye Xixi could not resist giving him a kick, disgust written all over her face.
Next was Ye Xixi. In any case, Wu Yu had gained a lot this time. But he did not know how much these new imparted revelations would benefit them.
