Becoming an Immortal and Ancestor, Starting from the Clan-protecting Divine Beast

194: Chapter 194 Avoiding Calamity, Blocking the Path”Blood Fiend demonic fetus?”

Hearing this, Yuan Feng thought of the Blood Fiend Nascent Soul who had previously prepared to descend here through the Domain Gate.

The Azure Blue Star was specifically inscribed with a Domain Gate that could transport someone from the Luotian Realm. For such a vast distance, a Domain Gate capable of supporting a Blood Fiend Nascent Soul’s descent across the endless starry sky would likely cost enough resources to make even a Nascent Soul Earth Immortal’s heart ache.

This Blood Fiend Golden Core, whose Physical Body he had shattered, definitely couldn’t have provided enough resources to construct the Domain Gate; the one standing behind him was likely that Blood Fiend Nascent Soul.

”To station a Golden Core True Monarch in the Middle Stage in such a remote and barren Star Domain just to nurture a single Blood Fiend demonic fetus?”

As Yuan Feng’s thoughts raced, his gaze fell upon the Spirit of the Blood Fiend Golden Core, his tone sharp: ”What is the purpose of the Blood Fiend demonic fetus being nurtured on this star?”

Something that could make a Nascent Soul Earth Immortal so concerned must surely be related to their own path.

”I... I don’t know.”

The Spirit of the Blood Fiend Golden Core looked troubled.

”Is it that you dare not say, or that you cannot say?”

Yuan Feng seized the Spirit of the Blood Fiend Golden Core, his Golden Core Dao power transforming into blazing flames that continuously scorched it, eliciting bursts of miserable screams.

”Stop, stop, stop! I’ll talk, I’ll talk.”

The Spirit of the Blood Fiend Golden Core hurriedly spoke.

He was truly afraid that Yuan Feng would keep torturing him.

Most Cultivators on the Blood Fiend path have weak wills and easily lose themselves during Blood Sacrifice, becoming Puppets controlled by the blood fiend energy.

Anyone who can achieve a Blood Fiend Golden Core has definitely sacrificed countless living beings.

However, in terms of mental state, a Blood Fiend Golden Core is more than a level below those of other paths.

Any other Golden Core would never yield so easily and would even choose to end their own Primordial Spirit.

”The Venerable’s purpose for nurturing this Blood Fiend demonic fetus is to... evade calamities.”

The Spirit of the Golden Core said tremulously.

”Evade calamities?”

A flash of inspiration struck Yuan Feng’s mind, and he immediately understood what that Blood Fiend Nascent Soul intended to do.

In the Nascent Soul realm, one must first cross the Three Calamities to stand at the Peak of the Earth Immortal stage, and then survive the Five Declines of Celestial Beings to reach the summit of the Nascent Soul realm and qualify for a seat of power.

Cultivation in the Blood Fiend path primarily involves Blood Sacrifice supplemented by the consumption of blood Qi, which harms the harmony of heaven and is not tolerated by heaven and earth.

Thus, the Blood Fiend path progresses very quickly before the Nascent Soul stage, but after reaching Nascent Soul, it becomes much slower than other paths.

This is because the Three Calamities and Five Tribulations faced by a Blood Fiend Nascent Soul are far more terrifying than those of other paths.

These are the disasters that must be faced when walking the Blood Fiend path; they are the Karma of the living beings they sacrificed. If they cannot cross them, they will be reduced to ashes and return their Dao to heaven.

Therefore, many Cultivators on the Blood Fiend path, upon reaching the Nascent Soul realm, will try every possible means to evade the Three Calamities and Five Tribulations, or at least greatly reduce their power.

Regardless of the method, the means employed by a Blood Fiend Nascent Soul are bound to be extremely bloody and cruel.

”Since this Blood Fiend demonic fetus is used by the Venerable you mentioned to evade calamities, why was only one Golden Core Middle Stage sent to guard it? Aren’t they afraid of meeting a tough opponent and having their plans come to naught?”

Yuan Feng squeezed the Spirit of the Blood Fiend Golden Core and questioned him sternly.

”No, it’s not like that.”

The Blood Fiend Golden Core explained hurriedly: ”The calamity-evading method used by the Venerable is the ’Sacrificial Heaven Blood Fetus Demon Refinement Great Method for Evading Calamities’ created by a Blood Fiend Immortal Lord. By nurturing a Blood Fiend demonic fetus and transferring a Divided Soul into it, one can deceive the Heavenly Dao and thus disperse the power of the calamities.”

”The more Blood Fiend demonic fetuses nurtured, the more the power of the calamities is shared, and the smaller the power of the calamities one faces personally.”

”This method can nurture at most nine Blood Fiend demonic fetuses. This one here is just one of them; if it’s destroyed, it’s destroyed. There are other Blood Fiend demonic fetuses being nurtured elsewhere.”

As he spoke, he gave a bitter smile: ”There are factions within the Blood Fiend Demonic Sect. I am on the Venerable’s side. He only has so many Golden Core True Monarchs under his command, and basically all of them have been sent to guard the places where the Blood Fiend demonic fetuses are being nurtured.”

Although a Blood Fiend Golden Core is easier to achieve than those of other paths, they aren’t common.

For a Blood Fiend Nascent Soul to have five or six Blood Fiend Golden Cores under them is already considered a lot.

”Blood Fiend demonic fetus?”

At this moment, Gui Li’s voice sounded, and a tangible figure appeared, her pair of crystal-blue pupils seemingly reflecting two vast seas.

”I didn’t find any trace of a Blood Fiend demonic fetus while I was clearing the star. Could it be that you’re lying?”

The Spirit of the Blood Fiend Golden Core heard this and shook its head frantically: ”No, no, I’m not lying. Everything I said is true.”

”The Sacrificial Heaven Blood Fetus Demon Refinement Great Method for Evading Calamities is an Immortal Lord’s method. It only displays the characteristics of the Blood Fiend path after it’s completed. On the contrary, before the Blood Fiend demonic fetus is fully formed, it’s similar to nurturing a Clone in the orthodox immortal path.”

Gui Li’s eyes rolled, and with a lift of her hand, a sea-blue whip composed of immortal path Laws lashed out fiercely at the Spirit of the Blood Fiend Golden Core, and a pig-like squeal echoed in all directions.

She controlled her strength so it could cause maximum pain without dissipating the Primordial Spirit in one blow.

”Where is the place where the Blood Fiend demonic fetus is being nurtured?”

Gui Li asked fiercely.

”I’ll take you there.”

The Spirit of the Blood Fiend Golden Core said weakly.

Somewhere on the Azure Blue Star.

Guided by the Spirit of the Blood Fiend Golden Core, Yuan Feng arrived outside an artificially constructed Immortal Cave, with the words ’Evading Calamities’ written above it.

”What a sophisticated Formation; I was actually deceived by it before.”

Gui Li stared at the Immortal Cave for a long while, clicking her tongue in wonder.

”This is a stealth immortal formation set up by a Formation Great Grandmaster invited by the Venerable. Even a Great Honored Immortal who has crossed the Five Tribulations could be deceived if they don’t look closely.”

The Spirit of the Blood Fiend Golden Core explained.

”I see. It seems the Blood Fiend Nascent Soul behind you is filthy rich, haha.”

Gui Li’s eyes sparkled, and an ill-intentioned laugh escaped her lips.

”Then how do we break this Formation?”

Yuan Feng interrupted Gui Li’s daydreaming.

This Immortal Artifact spirit looked no different from a real flesh-and-blood creature, full of emotion. Who would believe she was an artifact spirit?

He even suspected whether Gui Li was an artifact spirit transformed from a Cultivator’s Divine Soul, just like Great Master Heaven Forger.

Though the body dies, one’s own Primordial Spirit and Divine Soul enter a Magical Artifact, replacing the original artifact spirit and living a second life through the body of the Magical Artifact.

”Could this girl be the daughter of Great Venerable Xuan Yuan Gui Li...”

Yuan Feng muttered to himself, amused by his own thought.

What a joke. Who in their right mind would refine their own daughter into a Life-Bound Magical Artifact to serve as an artifact spirit, unless it was absolutely necessary?

”You two, if I say I don’t know how to break the Immortal Cave’s Formation, what will you do to me?”

The Spirit of the Blood Fiend Golden Core, who had been left aside, spoke up weakly, his tone very lacking in confidence.

”Then you’re useless and can go die.”

Gui Li glanced at him, and the whip formed from immortal path Laws reappeared, lashing him three times in a row. The Spirit of the Blood Fiend Golden Core became dim and lightless, like a candle in the wind, ready to be extinguished at any moment.

”Let me do it.”

Yuan Feng reached out, grabbing the Primordial Spirit like a chick. His Golden Core Dao power turned into a blazing Dao fire, instantly burning the Primordial Spirit to nothingness.

The number of living beings a Golden Core Middle Stage on the Blood Fiend path had killed along the way could only be described as massive. The sins on his body were more than just heavy; they had reached a level that made one’s hair stand on end.

For such an existence, Yuan Feng naturally wouldn’t let him off.

”Break the Formation by force, then go in and destroy that Blood Fiend demonic fetus. After that, we’ll make a run for it.”

Gui Li finished speaking quickly and then fully activated the immortal artifact. The might of the heavenly immortal artifact swept across the entire star.

The sound of crashing waves reaching the clouds echoed through the sky, as a tide like a raging torrent surged and struck the Immortal Cave.

Crack!

With a crisp sound, a layer of invisible and untouchable transparent membrane shattered like a mirror. The Immortal Cave ahead was like a small boat in a deep sea, liable to capsize at any moment.

Bang!

The Gui Shui Immortal Principle transformed into a giant whale, carrying a great power that could shake the stars of the heavens, smashing the Immortal Cave’s gate into powder and entering directly.

Yuan Feng followed closely behind and soon reached the depths of the Immortal Cave.

A green jade coffin locked by nine blood-red chains lay here. Inside, it felt as if a god were sleeping; the thumping heartbeat was like the divine drums of the heavenly realm being struck, deafeningly loud.

Boom!

Ignoring everything else, Gui Li directly flipped the coffin lid. Strands of crystal-clear, blood-like Nascent Soul immortal Laws revived, transforming into demonic sabers and evil swords that slaughtered worlds, slashing towards her.

Fortunately, the immortal artifact was the Life-Bound Magical Artifact of a Great Honored Immortal who had crossed the Five Declines of Celestial Beings three times. It contained Heavenly Immortal Dao Laws, which were inherently much higher in quality than Nascent Soul immortal Laws.

Rumble!

The entire Immortal Cave shook. The incoming Nascent Soul immortal Laws disintegrated one after another, wiped out in mid-air by Gui Li.

After confirming there was no danger, Yuan Feng then stepped forward.

Inside the green jade coffin lay a Human Race being in the form of a young man, curled up. His body was surrounded by brilliant immortal light, looking like an extraordinary immortal Dao divine fetus, not at all resembling a Blood Fiend demonic fetus.

”Unbelievable. If that Blood Fiend Golden Core hadn’t said this was a demonic fetus, I would have thought it was an immortal fetus.”

Yuan Feng carefully observed the Human Race being inside the green jade coffin, and a sudden feeling of desire arose in his heart, urging him to devour it.

It was as if a demon were whispering in his ear, deluding and tempting him.

”Whew, something’s not right. This demonic fetus is too sinister. Gui Li, destroy it quickly.”

The ’Dou’ character formed by the nine Golden Natures inside Yuan Feng’s body radiated boundless golden light, as if letting out a roar, dispelling the abnormality on him.

”The Blood Fiend Demonic Path... why can’t it be eradicated?”

Gui Li sighed.

Subsequently, the entire Immortal Cave was enveloped by Gui Shui Immortal Principles. Wisps of blood Qi dissipated and soon vanished completely.

The Human Race being curled up in the green jade coffin suddenly snapped its eyes open and let out a shrill cry, as if billions of living beings were wailing and weeping.

In an instant, the sky changed color, the sun and moon lost their light, and the entire Azure Blue Star was shrouded in a thick blood-red hue.

Splash!

In the next moment, the deep blue seawater kicked up thousands of layers of waves. A robust figure emerged from the sea, reaching up to the Nine Heavens and down to the Nine Netherworlds. The aura of the Gui Water Dao swept through this Star Domain.

Yuan Feng had already retreated from the Azure Blue Star and appeared in the starry sky, watching this scene.

The Universe and starry sky are vast and boundless, with countless dangers. Even Golden Core True Monarchs and Nascent Soul Venerables risk falling.

Luckily, he had brought the immortal artifact on this trip; otherwise, he would be in big trouble.

Of course, if not for this heavenly immortal artifact, Yuan Feng wouldn’t have ventured to such a distant region.

When traveling through the outer starry sky, various potential dangers are secondary; the most important thing is the coordinates, especially the coordinates of one’s home world.

If one loses the coordinates, they can only wander through the Universe.

Rumble!

With a burst of earth-shaking movement, the massive Azure Blue Star disintegrated in the starry sky, exploding like a brilliant firework.

It could be seen even from a vast distance.

A sea-blue disk even larger than a star emerged from the fireworks. The patterns on its surface lit up one by one, and Heavenly Immortal Dao Laws surrounded it, like a massive millstone crushing through the starry sky, grinding the green jade coffin and its contents to pieces.

For a time, this part of the starry sky was filled with whispers, wails, and shrill cries.

Before long, all the anomalies dissipated, and peace was restored.

The immortal artifact flew back and was caught by Yuan Feng.

”Let’s go, quickly!”

”Although this place is far from the Luotian Realm, it won’t take long for a Peak Earth Immortal who has crossed the Three Calamities to arrive here. He has the coordinates for this place.”

After Gui Li finished speaking, she went silent.

Yuan Feng’s gaze sharpened. He selected a direction and took a step forward. The stars shifted as he left this part of the starry sky.

Shortly after he left, a figure clad in a blood-red robe stepped through the Void Realm and descended upon this place.

In an instant, a terrifyingly vast Divine Sense swept across the entire Star Domain.

”Good, very good, Gui Water! This grudge of blocking my Dao, this deity shall remember it!”

The blood-robed figure spoke in a cold tone. Behind him, a blood shadow as tall as the heavens appeared. Thick, blood-red tentacles danced wildly, piercing through the stars and cracking the firmament.

After he departed, all the stars in this barren Star Domain turned to dust and ceased to exist.
