Chapter 915: Escaping to Safety

Facing the astonishing power of creation contained within the purple blood, Li Yi did not hesitate to use it to cleanse his entire body, even being willing to shed the bloodline power within his body.

After all, whether it was the Golden Dragon or the Thunder God, in terms of power, neither could possibly be as strong as this creature. If he could inherit the bloodline of this creature, he wouldn't mind not being a god of one side.

However, the blood of a creature of this level, strictly speaking, could no longer be called blood, but a form of extremely pure energy. This energy contained both astonishing life force and the power of creation, as well as endless spiritual energy; it was a mixture of multiple powers.

Accompanied by the washing of the purple blood, purple divine light flowed throughout Li Yi's entire body.

In just a moment's time, not only did his body recover to its peak state, but all one hundred and fifty acupoints in his body were filled. At the same time, as time passed.

The first to be eliminated was the Golden Dragon bloodline; this golden blood was soon washed clean by the purple divine light, as if it had never appeared before.

And the Thunder God bloodline, perhaps because it was deep in the marrow, did not completely disappear after successive washings; instead, it absorbed the purple divine light and gradually merged together.

"Boom..."

Lightning coiled around Li Yi's physical body, but at this moment, the lightning was no longer silver, but purple. Its power was even more terrifying, as if it could pierce through time and space, striking into the depths of an enemy's soul.

A single strike of power was enough to kill a Heavenly Soldier.

It was evident that his strength was also increasing.

"The flower of magic power is blooming." Li Yi now felt that the second Dao flower atop his head, representing magic power, was beginning to bloom.

The first petal appeared, and before long, the second petal also appeared. The number of his one hundred and fifty acupoints did not change, but his magic power was becoming stronger, which meant that his magic power was purer than before. This kind of change was something Li Yi had not dared to imagine.

At this moment, he had a feeling that a hundred years of bitter cultivation was not as good as a single day of opportunity.

The hard cultivation he had done before, experiencing life and death, now felt like complete nonsense.

This was just like a person working hard for thirty years, saving a sum of money, only for a lazy person lying flat to have a pie fall from the sky and win a lottery ticket; life was complete.

It was simply dramatic.

But Li Yi did not feel there was any problem with this. Didn't his fellow disciples from the Four Seas and Eight Continents also benefit from his light? Gaining power in one day was better than decades of martial arts practice.

It was just his turn now.

"It's just a pity that my realm is not high right now. Although I have obtained many benefits, I also have a limit to what I can bear. I only hope that with this opportunity, I can break through another realm in one breath, achieving the Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown and the Five Qi Returning to the Origin."

Li Yi thought to himself.

He knew that stealing the power of this creature like this was not a long-term solution. His only hope was to improve his realm as much as possible before that.

As long as he achieved the Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown, he would possess Heavenly General-level strength, and in this Heavenly Realm, he would be considered to have the power to protect himself.

Besides this, Li Yi was not idle either. He used the Five Elements Bracelet to store all the excess purple blood. Although he didn't know if it could retain its divinity, he had to give it a try.

One could not enter a treasure vault and return empty-handed.

Hua Qing, who was on the side, was also cultivating crazily, but his starting point was too low. With a remnant soul body, even if he obtained this creation, it would be difficult to return to his peak.

However, it was still much better than before. His strength was currently recovering, but he didn't even have Heavenly Soldier-level combat power yet.

Both of them were silent at this moment, digesting this hard-won opportunity.

Days passed one by one.

But what the two of them did not notice was.

That red lotus rooted in the purple sea of blood had now transformed into a purple lotus, and it had bloomed with a full twenty-four petals.

Moreover, the lotus platform shone with divine light, and new lotus seeds were vaguely being conceived.

The potential of this lotus flower seemed even more powerful than the two had expected. Before, it was just because the world level was too low and resources were insufficient that it didn't show its true colors.

Now, it had broken through its shackles and was rapidly evolving in an unknown direction.

It was not just the red lotus.

Even the Five Elements Bracelet in Li Yi's hand had undergone some changes under the nourishment of the purple blood. It was now crystal clear, like purple jade, also shining with divine light, with a quality far exceeding before.

Clearly, the power of this terrifying creature was not only useful to people, but also had great benefits for objects.

But this situation obviously could not continue forever.

After crazily stealing power by both eating and taking, after a period of time, something in that purple sea of blood seemed to have noticed, and a heaven-shaking murderous intent permeated the area.

The appearance of this murderous intent instantly woke Li Yi and Hua Qing.

Both of them opened their eyes at the same time, all revealing a sense of horror.

Danger?

The two looked in the direction from which the murderous intent came, only to see the calm purple sea of blood in the distance suddenly churning, raising monstrous waves.

A creature entirely purple in color manifested, staring coldly at Li Yi.

This purple creature's appearance could not be seen clearly; one could only vaguely identify that it seemed to be humanoid, but the aura it revealed was exceptionally terrifying.

"Not good, we've been discovered. Damn it, you evil Earthling, are you crazy? Stealing some blood for yourself is one thing, but you actually used a storage artifact to store so much? Did you really think this creature wouldn't notice?"

Hua Qing took a look and was startled.

Logically speaking, the power they stole was a drop in the bucket for this massive creature and shouldn't have been noticed by anyone. However, he saw that Li Yi's Five Elements Bracelet had now turned into a purple jade bracelet, and he didn't know how much purple blood was stored inside.

"It wasn't easy to come here; how could I be reconciled without taking something away?" Li Yi said. At this moment, his three Dao flowers were blooming, and a powerful aura was being emitted.

After these few days of bitter cultivation, he had finally achieved the Three Flowers Gathering at the Crown and the Five Qi Returning to the Origin. His combat power was at least Heavenly General-level; he could no longer be considered a nobody on the side of the road.

It was just that the third flower of life had only just bloomed and was not yet perfect, but his flower of magic power had already bloomed with six petals. If he opened the remaining acupoints, he would definitely be able to achieve perfection.

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry and leave. That humanoid figure is the manifestation of the creature's own will, meant to expel impurities from its body and repair its physical damage." Hua Qing urged hurriedly.

Clearly, this was treating Li Yi and Hua Qing as viruses. Now that they had been discovered, they were about to be eliminated by the immune system.

Li Yi did not hesitate. He immediately put away the red lotus—no, the purple lotus—and then took out the blade coins, instantly slashing open the fetal membrane of heaven and earth, and fled at the fastest speed.

This series of actions was as if it had been practiced many times, light and familiar.

Of course, another part of the reason was that Li Yi's strength had become much stronger, and he was more adept at running away.

He had just left.

The sky-filling purple blood disappeared, and the torn opening healed rapidly.

That purple humanoid creature seemed not to have much intelligence. After sensing no foreign objects, it actually turned back into a pool of blood and merged into the endless purple sea of blood beneath its feet.

"Fortunately, the other party didn't chase us. That thing's strength should be at the Heavenly King level. If it had treated you as an enemy just now and attacked immediately, it would have been truly dangerous." Hua Qing breathed a sigh of relief at this moment.

Under the protection of the treasure light of the blade coins, they entered a strange space.

"What do you plan to do next?" Hua Qing asked again.

Li Yi did not speak, but after traveling for a while, he once again used the blade coins to slash open the fetal membrane of heaven and earth, returning to the Heavenly Realm.

"Hmm? You aren't going home?" Hua Qing was very surprised.

Li Yi said: "I will go back after I send you back to your old home. It can be considered as fulfilling my promise. Now that my strength has broken through, I should be able to do this."

Strength brought powerful confidence, giving him the courage to venture into the Heavenly Realm again.

Although the Heavenly Realm was dangerous, it was also full of opportunities.

However, when he returned to the Heavenly Realm again, he found himself once again on the Sea of Returning Ruins. But this time, his luck was not bad; he did not enter the inner sea, but was in the outer sea. He could even gaze at the land in the distance, as well as the mountains that towered into the clouds.

He sensed the surroundings.

Very safe.

There was no danger; in the water, there were only some low-class creatures.

"I didn't expect you to be quite a good person. It was this old man who misunderstood you." Hua Qing was somewhat stunned.

"Stop talking nonsense, point out a path." Li Yi said.

Hua Qing immediately flicked his finger, and a burst of magic power flew out, turning into a huge map: "This is a rough map of the Heavenly Realm. My old home is in the East Pole Cloud Prefecture of the Third Heaven. You must first find a city of cultivators, and then take a boundary boat to enter the Third Heaven. Otherwise, if you rely on flying, I estimate you won't arrive even in a hundred years."

Li Yi stared at this huge map and was somewhat amazed.

This map was very complex, with worlds intersecting and space overlapping, as if it were endless. The Sea of Returning Ruins, where he couldn't see the end, only occupied a small corner of the map.

And the East Pole Cloud Prefecture of the Third Heaven that Hua Qing spoke of required magnifying this map again and again before it could barely be found.

"The Heavenly Realm is truly big enough." He sighed.

"The Heavenly Realm is the general term for here. In fact, there are many worlds integrated with the Heavenly Realm, such as the Luo Sha race you encountered before; they all come from the Luo Sha Realm. There are also the Dragon Realm, the Heavenly God Realm, and so on—great cultivation worlds. I told you before that cultivation in the Heavenly Realm is diverse, so you cannot divide it by realm; you have to rely on combat power to judge high and low." Hua Qing said: "Because every world and every race has its own cultivation method."

"However, these things are not very important knowledge. You will slowly come to know them after you have been in the Heavenly Realm for a long time. Even for me, my understanding of the Heavenly Realm is just a drop in the bucket."

"So, in the Heavenly Realm, you only need to pay attention to some dangerous places and be careful of enemies you cannot beat. As for the rest, it is all irrelevant. Don't be afraid of offending people; the Heavenly Realm is so big that even if you really kill some prince or noble, you won't be able to find anyone."

Li Yi nodded slightly, deeply agreeing.

After all, he had already tried it before; the name of Emperor Hua Qing was useless and couldn't bluff anyone. Being strong oneself was the most important thing. ===== CHAPTER 916 =====
