Chapter 230: Devouring the Blood Sea

Now, only the Golden Sun and the Yuzhe Tuan remain in the Secret Realm.

The number of people has also been reduced to about thirty, but the examinees who remain are basically elite soldiers and strong generals.

There is a huge volcano in the Secret Realm.

This volcano is very large; the mountain body stretches for dozens of kilometers, occupying one-fifth of the Secret Realm.

From far away, one can see the volcano's volcanic cone towering into the clouds.

Thick, pitch-black smoke emerged from the air and rose to mid-air; the sky around the volcano was as dark as ink.

At this moment, the volcano trembled slightly.

Thick smoke emerged from the volcanic cone again and blasted toward the sky, creating quite a commotion.

At this time, the Yuzhe Tuan.

There was a person floating in the air, and a huge eye appeared between their eyebrows.

This eye was looking around, as if watching something.

"How is it, Li Yan, what are the results of your detection?"

"Will the volcano erupt?"

The masked Yuzhe on the side asked Li Yan.

"A large amount of energy has already piled up at the volcano, blocking the crater; an eruption should be a matter of time."

"We ambushed the Frost Rose this time."

"Although the ambush was successful, the issue of personnel injuries is also very prominent."

"The cannon fodder were wiped out, and the Pet Beasts of the main players were all seriously injured."

"If we have a match with the Golden Sun now, I estimate we will also suffer heavy losses."

Li Yan stated all of his thoughts.

"Indeed, you are right, but with so many people left, how are we to compete for the ten spots?"

"Not to mention our team, I reckon the Golden Sun is also thinking about how to completely finish us off."

"Before that, we should still wait and see; perhaps we can trick the Golden Sun once more."

Under the deep, pitch-black night, in the middle of a barren ruin, a Weird Blood Pool appeared.

It seemed to be just an illusory phantom, like a Haishishenglou.

The blood in the Blood Pool was bottomless and dark red, like the Weird luster emitted by the Hell Ming He.

From far away, one could smell the pungent rust odor permeating the air; that lingering, foul stench was nauseating.

On the edge of the Blood Pool, the congealed blood scabs were like the petals of a blooming Manshazuhua, one after another, appearing exceptionally ghastly against the moonlight.

In the Blood Pool, countless corpses were sinking, bobbing up and down as they soaked in the blood; their hand bones and bodies were curled up, and their hollow eyes looked toward the sky, as if they were very unwilling.

Their mandibles were wide open, as if crying out their unwillingness to the heavens.

Swarms of blood flies were wriggling on the corpses; this place had already become a breeding ground for blood flies.

The surroundings were so quiet that only the slight clashing sounds of the corpses remained, along with the buzzing sounds made by the occasional blood fly passing by.

Whenever a light breeze swept over the Blood Pool, it would ripple, and those bones soaking in the Blood Pool would emit faint, mournful cries.

Ye Bai wiped away a thin layer of sweat; he had almost turned the entire Secret Realm upside down before finding this place.

"This Tianran Xuechi is really not easy to find; the Information System kept saying it was below, below, but where is this 'below'?"

"Fortunately, I left a mental imprint in the Blood Pool, and through it, I roughly detected the location of the Blood Pool."

Ye Bai carried the Blood Pool and walked forward; as the Myriad-Change Silkworm hopped along, the phantom of the Blood Pool suddenly disappeared.

The Myriad-Change Silkworm was stunned; why did this Blood Pool suddenly disappear? It hadn't done anything!

Its eyes were wide open, as if it could not understand why the Blood Pool had suddenly vanished.

"It seems the Tianran Xuechi should be right below."

Just at this moment, the ground began to tremble violently.

Ye Bai looked up at the location of the volcano; a plume of thick smoke shot into the sky, rushing straight toward the heavens.

A large amount of volcanic ash and stones emerged from the location of the volcanic cone.

In the blink of an eye, the bright moon was covered by dark clouds, and the sky above the entire Secret Realm was as gloomy as ink, a scene of the end of the world.

Volcanic rocks mixed with magma smashed toward all directions like meteors.

A river of lava meandered along the volcanic cone, its scorching orange-red light reflecting on the surrounding rocks, forming a patch of gloomy red clouds that complemented the pitch-black sky.

The huge sound produced by the volcanic eruption was like thunder roaring, deafening, as if nature were roaring in anger.

The boiling magma, carrying a pungent sulfur smell, ruthlessly incinerated any life that dared to approach.

"Strange, why did the volcano start erupting so quickly? This timing is a bit too early."

"Could it be that this volcano belongs to a continuous eruption type, and will reach its peak on the fifteenth day?"

Ye Bai scratched his hair; the current level of the volcanic eruption did not yet threaten him.

However, when the volcano fully erupts, it will be troublesome; by then, there will be boiling magma everywhere, and I reckon there won't even be a place to stand.

This place will become a paradise for fire-type Exotic Beasts.

Other Exotic Beasts will be directly turned into charred skeletons under the scorching magma.

However, the Lava Heart is crucial for the evolution of the Little Charcoal Dog; no matter what, he must get his hands on this thing.

Moreover, the volcanic eruption may also yield greater value; some treasures hidden deep inside the volcano will also emerge one by one.

Among them is the Essence of Fire, which is the most suitable treasure for cultivating fire-type Pet Beasts.

"Let's solve the problem of the Tianran Xuechi first, then I will wait and see."

"Could it be that when the volcano fully erupts, all the creatures in the entire Secret Realm will be completely extinct?" This thought suddenly appeared in Ye Bai's mind.

"Forget it, I'll take it one step at a time."

"If this Secret Realm really reaches that point, then there is nothing that can be done."

"This kind of natural disaster is not something I alone can decide."

"This place will likely transform into an environment suitable for fire-type Pet Beasts to inhabit."

Ye Bai thought to himself.

"Space Pelican, are you ready?"

Ye Bai retracted the Myriad-Change Silkworm into his Pet Beast Space, and he looked up at the Space Pelican to the side.

Ever since contracting the Space Pelican, Ye Bai had finally obtained a relatively useful skill: Space Transfer.

Therefore, with the help of the Space Pelican, he could perform long-distance Space Transfer.

At the same time, he could also release a spatial coordinate to help himself achieve Space Transfer.

The Space Pelican focused its mind and calmed its breath, flapping its wings to fly into the air.

Its eyes looked toward the ground, and it saw a terrifying Blood Pool appearing at an unknown depth underground.

The Space Pelican then locked onto a location, and with a fierce flap of its wings, it carried Ye Bai and turned into a streak of light.

The edge of the Blood Pool.

The Space Pelican and Ye Bai appeared.

Ye Bai shook his head; the entire process of Space Transfer was like being in a turbulent sea.

And Ye Bai suddenly had a feeling of seasickness.

At this moment, the Space Pelican looked slightly exhausted; after all, performing a Space Transfer, and over such a long distance, had consumed over half of its spatial power.

"Space Pelican, thank you for your hard work; go back to the Pet Beast Space and rest first."

"I will have to rely on you to leave here later."

Ye Bai patted the Space Pelican's head.

The Space Pelican turned into a streak of light and submerged into the Pet Beast Space.

"Come on, Blood Pool, the time for your promotion has arrived."

"As long as you devour this Blood Sea, your promotion should have no issues at all."

Ye Bai flicked his hand, and the Blood Pool immediately flew into the air, forming a terrifying vortex.

This natural Blood Pool seemed to have birthed self-awareness.

One could see the bones in the Blood Pool rattling, as if they had all come back to life.

The Blood Sea wanted to stop the Blood Pool from devouring it.

"Go, Sunflower Emperor."

The Sunflower Emperor's Holy Light illumination was the natural enemy of these undead creatures, basically capable of killing them on sight.

After receiving the baptism of the Thunder Pool, the Sunflower Emperor's Holy Light illumination also carried a coercive aura of thunder, making the effect of exterminating undead creatures even better.

As the Sunflower Emperor unleashed Holy Light illumination, all the white bones that came into contact with the Holy Light instantly turned into charred charcoal.

Their bodies turned into wisps of green smoke and dissipated in the air, and the sound of wailing echoed in the Blood Sea.

A large number of Souls were released, and dense swarms of Souls floated in the air.

The Blood Pool emitted a terrifying suction force, and many Soul Fires were drawn into it.

At this moment, the Blood Sea surged, and a huge black shadow gradually appeared.

It seemed that a behemoth had emerged.

As the black shadow continued to float up, Ye Bai gradually saw what on earth this thing was.

This was a giant mammoth, and it possessed a huge tusk.

Its entire body had completely turned into white bone, emitting a luster like metal.

A huge gray mist appeared on the mammoth; looking at the scale of this gray mist, it had to be at least Tier 6, and even Tier 7 was possible.

But Ye Bai was not afraid; this should be the Blood Pool's final struggle.

When this white-bone mammoth was alive, it should have been at least a Tier 7 Exotic Beast, but its most formidable trait should have been its Indestructible defensive power.

After dying and turning into white bone, its strength naturally declined quite a bit.

The Sunflower Emperor's Holy Light illumination posed a great threat to the white-bone mammoth.

Under the illumination of the Holy Light, black air currents radiated from the white-bone mammoth's bones.

Dahui rushed out from the Beast Card.

It brandished the huge Thunder God Axe and slashed fiercely toward the white-bone mammoth's tusk.

Thunder Light coiled around the Thunder God Axe, and Dahui slashed forward violently.

The Thunder God Axe collided with the tusk, producing a large amount of Mars.

Violent electric arcs surged along the white-bone mammoth's body toward the Blood Sea.

For a moment, the entire Blood Sea was surging with waves.

A massive pressure gradually emerged from the Blood Sea, and even Ye Bai could feel that the Blood Sea was extremely furious at this moment.

At this time, more black shadows floated to the surface, among which were Pet Beasts like white-bone corpse doves, white-bone snakes, and white-bone scorpions.

At the same time, blood flies emerged from the Blood Sea; they gathered together, blotting out the sky and sun.

The entire Blood Sea could hear the buzzing sound made by the blood flies flapping their wings.
