e staff pulsed with blue electricity. With a swing of the staff, the demonic mist within the Zi Wu Lei Yang Tomb parted, revealing rows upon rows of tombs in the distance. From each tomb crawled creat...As 《融魂**》 and 《淬魂**》 were cultivated to later stages, Lu Xiaoteng increasingly felt that his blood essence power was holding him back in a certain way. Once he made a breakthrough in the realm of physical cultivation, his combat power would see a relatively considerable increase.

Having put away his spirit beast, Lu Xia Tian suddenly glanced at the bloody mist in the distance. A monstrous demonic power that even made Lu Xia Tian's heart tremble seemed to be awakening, like an unrivaled ferocious beast. Just the moment it opened its eyes would be enough to terrify anyone.

"It's best to leave this place quickly," Lu Xia Tian thought, sensing the sinister aura. He immediately retracted his lotus avatar and returned along the path he had come.

>During the return journey, Lu Xia Tian discovered that the surrounding blood mist became increasingly dense. Both his eyes and divine sense had a drastically reduced range of observation. Even with Lu Xia Tian's Yuanshen, the detection radius was compressed to less than fifty miles. His eyes could only observe things within a few miles, and they were just blurry shadows.

In comparison with the outside world, this situation is almost like that of a blind person.

The Ta Shu Tiger Clan's population isn't large, but within this demonic sea their power seems to be growing stronger. It appears their relationship with the Xue Ming Valley is deep, and cultivation of body refinement does indeed offer significant advantages in such an environment.

Thinking back to the powerful aura that appeared earlier, Lu Xia Tian felt a bit strange in his heart. Since that aura appeared, the surrounding blood mist seemed to have changed. He didn't know if he could still leave Bei Ming Valley as planned.

A deafening crack echoed from beneath their feet as a chasm opened in the ground. A gigantic thousand-legged, emerald green centipede wriggled out of the fissure, its head emerging and spewing a wave of blood-green demonic mist into the air. In an instant, it merged with the surrounding miasma, instantly sending a palpable threat towards Lu Xiaotian.

The monsters in this Blood Mist Valley rely on the advantage of surviving here for many years. They can move freely in this thick blood mist, and even use the unique environment to counter outsiders like Lu Xiaottian.

Even Lu Xia Tian was greatly disturbed at this time. Sensing the poison gas taking advantage of the blood mist's cover to attack, Lu Xia Tian dared not be even slightly careless. He immediately swallowed a Piling Poison Spirit Pill.

At the same time, Lu Xia Tian stretched out his palm and pushed, sending the fire crow-shaped Fiery Sun Spirit from his hand. It looked around, and the raging Unphase Xuan Fire surrounding them instantly transformed into a sea of flames, burning away all the blood mist in an instant.

A wave of furious screams rose from the ground below. Lu Xia Tian looked down, and saw that the cracks at his feet were multiplying, growing thicker and denser like a spiderweb. A thick fog of blood continued to seep out from the earth.

Lu Xiaotian's clothes fluttered, and he rose gracefully. He didn't want to clash with this obviously cunning Blood-Green Centipede demon. Still, he continued to grope in the direction he had always been going.

Lü Xiaotiān was trying his best to avoid it, but this blood-green centipede demon seemed rather persistent. Its enormous body, stretching dozens of meters long, wriggled out from the cracks in the ground with remarkable agility. Several dozen crimson silver blood orbs hovered suspended in mid-air.

Inside, strands of silver thread shot out like needles in all directions. The threads were extremely sharp, and wherever they passed, the ground and rocks were pierced with thousands of holes. As they zipped through the air, a series of piercing screams formed a continuous blast.

And these silver threads crisscrossed hundreds of miles, already encompassing Lu Xiaoteng. Lu Xiaoteng's mind was filled with a strange feeling. He had killed many strong cultivators who were at the stage of merging their bodies before, but it was the first time he had seen a demon at that stage dare to confront him so boldly.

Countless silver threads shot towards Lu Xia Tian. Lu Xia Tian clasped his hands together, and behind him, the azure-colored Wuxiang Xuanhuo surged, the blazing Yang Fire Spirit swirling around him before circling back to land behind Lu Xia Tian. Its wings spread open, taking on a solemn expression.

Originally, it should have looked extremely strange. However, at this time, the Blazing Yang Fire Spirit and Lu Xiaoteng worked together seamlessly, appearing as one.

Lu Xiaoxian chanted Buddhist scriptures in his mouth, the sound reverberating around him. The flying crimson-silver threads seemed to bear an immense force. Once they approached a certain range, they would explode into fragments with a series of *bangs*.

Lu Xia Tian's seemingly relaxed left hand suddenly flipped downwards. Behind him, the Blazing Sun Fire Spirit slowly flapped its wings. A gigantic hand made of azure flames enveloped the blood-blue centipede before it could react in surprise.

The blood-blue centipede hurriedly darted into the fissure. The flaming giant hand that struck it sent ripples of flame outward.

Boom, the flaming giant hand slammed onto the ground. A series of collapsing sounds erupted. Amidst the shrieks, the Blood-Azure Centipede scrambled out in disarray. Under the tremor of the Blazing Sun Spirit's wings, the pillar of inferno shot up from the sea of flames once more.

The blood-colored centipede, forced to appear, was ensnared within it.

After a short while, the blood-blue centipede was completely bound by the twelve increasingly tighter fire pillars within an extremely small space. No matter how it struggled, it was unable to break free. Finally, under the suppression of the giant hand of cyan flames, the blood-blue centipede let out a shrill scream and was taken by Lu Xiaoteng's primordial spirit. He then took its demonic body.

"But a demon nearing the middle stage of integration dares to seek trouble with me, truly reckless."

After Lu XiaTian put away his spoils, he whispered, "Facing those three combined-body mid-stage experts earlier, Lu XiaTian wasn't confident in controlling the fluctuations within a certain range. But this blood-blue centipede monster is even worse than the previous tiger demon man."

Although he relied on the advantage of home ground, the gap between him and Lu Xia Tian was too great. Naturally, it didn't take much effort for Lu Xia Tian to dispose of him.

Even under normal circumstances, Lu Xiaotian's eyesight and spiritual sense were subject to considerable constraints. As long as Lu Xiaotian was willing, clearing a space of several dozen miles, or even thousands of miles, would not be difficult. However, in this perilous and unpredictable Blood Fiend Valley, in order to avoid attracting greater calamity, Lu Xiaotian was reluctant to do so.

Because Lu Xia Tian acted with great caution, his aura was restrained, and he used illusion techniques to conceal his figure. Along the way, he didn't encounter any more attacks from demon beasts. However, there were too many demon beasts within Xue Ming Valley. Encountering one or two Nascent Soul realm demon beasts was a common occurrence. As for those whose strength was comparable to the Divine Void realm or the Transformation God realm, there were simply countless.

Lu Xia Tian continued his journey, harvesting the souls of a blood-maned demon wolf and a wind crystal demon bear, two he-core monsters.

All in all, Lu Xia Tian has acquired a dozen or so primordial spirits of demon beasts who have reached the stage of integration. The only pity is that the demon beasts within this Blood Fiend Valley seem to be rather impoverished. Apart from collecting a few spiritual creatures that Lu Xia Tian finds unimpressive, he has gained very little in terms of spirit crystals and rare spiritual materials. They are not even comparable to killing an ordinary initial-stage integrated demon beast outside.

"The banners were actually destroyed." Lu XiaTian walked back along the original path for a while, and soon he realized something was amiss.
