Chapter 1142: The Blood Egg's Sudden Mutation

Upon hearing Li Luo's words, everyone's gaze turned to the "Blood Egg," a strange egg-like object constantly rising and falling within the vortex of the blood pool, and they all furrowed their brows.

This thing looked extremely sinister.

"Let's try to destroy it," Feng Lingyuan spoke. This "Blood Egg" was eerie; although no one knew exactly what it was, it was best to destroy it.

Everyone had no objection to this, so they unleashed their Xiang Li, and waves of Xiang Li attacks struck directly at the "Blood Egg."

Plop! Plop!

However, when everyone's Xiang Li landed on the "Blood Egg," it was as if a stone had sunk into the deep sea, not even drawing a single sound.

Only one Xiang Li, upon striking it, emitted a sizzling sound, causing the "Blood Egg" to ripple.

That was the Light Xiang Li from Yin Yue Zhiyu.

"It seems only Light Xiang Li has some effect on this thing," Wei Zhonglou said, frowning.

"Then it will trouble Classmate Yin Yue. You wear down this Blood Egg while we go rescue the students hanging above?" Feng Lingyuan looked at Yin Yue Zhiyu and asked.

Yin Yue Zhiyu felt somewhat helpless, but there was no choice; since only her Light Xiang Li had any effect on the object, she could only nod.

"I'll help her too," Li Luo spoke up at that moment. He could also convert Light Xiang Li; Yin Yue Zhiyu working alone was too inefficient, and since the "Blood Egg" was eerie, it was best to eliminate it as quickly as possible.

Feng Lingyuan and the others nodded, then immediately divided the tasks to wrap things up.

Li Luo walked over to Yin Yue Zhiyu, and the two stood by the edge of the blood pool.

Yin Yue Zhiyu glanced at Li Luo and said, "I'm truly curious why your Light Xiang Li is also so strong. If I'm not mistaken, your Light Xiang should only be a secondary Xiang."

Li Luo smiled but did not answer; instead, he directly activated his Xiang Li, channeling it into the mysterious golden wheel within his body. Immediately, brilliant and bright Light Xiang Li surged forth, transforming into a sacred beam that fell upon the "Blood Egg" in the blood pool.

Seeing Li Luo refuse to answer, Yin Yue Zhiyu pouted, concluding in her heart that it must be some extremely profound Mi Fa from the Li Li Tianwang lineage, because although such methods were rare, they were not unheard of.

She raised her jade hand, and pure, sacred Light Xiang Li also roared forth.

The two's Light Xiang Li continuously fell upon the "Blood Egg," and the grotesque faces surging on its surface became more intense at this moment.

The blood qi surging on it showed faint signs of thinning.

With Li Luo and Yin Yue Zhiyu working together, the efficiency of wearing it down indeed improved significantly.

Meanwhile, the others continuously rescued the skinless students, who resembled human-shaped candles, from the "Ten Thousand Skin Evil Heart Pillar." These students were in a miserable state; their skin had been stripped away, leaving their bodies covered in blood and flesh, and a bone-core candle, with wax seemingly made from boiled human skin, was stuck into the top of their heads.

These scenes made the other students feel a chill in their hearts, while simultaneously filling them with immense anger.

These aberrations truly deserve to die!

Fortunately, although these students had been tortured terribly, their life force had not been severed; as long as they were taken back to the academy to recuperate for some time, they could recover.

It was just that the stripped skin would likely require some spiritual medicines to gradually grow back.

As more and more students were rescued, Li Luo and Yin Yue Zhiyu had also melted away a layer around the "Blood Egg."

However, while everyone was rescuing them, no one noticed that in the blood pool, the blood water had slightly rippled.

Plop!

In the next instant, the blood water near the "Blood Egg" suddenly burst open, and an object with a piercing shriek dove straight forward.

This sudden change startled both Li Luo and Yin Yue Zhiyu; their eyes darted quickly, and they discovered that what had surged out of the blood water was actually a piece of broken flesh and blood.

This piece of flesh and blood was about the size of a human head, and what made the two's hearts turn cold was that a face had grown upon the flesh.

And that face was none other than the "Blood Coffin Man" whose body had been blasted apart earlier!

He was not dead!

When his body shattered, a piece of flesh, whether by accident or deliberate control, had just happened to fall into the blood pool and then lay in ambush.

Judging by his intent, he was clearly aiming for the "Blood Egg"!

This change happened too suddenly; even Li Luo was stunned for an instant, then he reflexively flicked his finger, diverting a beam of Light Xiang Li that was heading for the "Blood Egg" to attack that piece of flesh.

Although he did not know what scheme the "Blood Coffin Man" was plotting, he figured it could not be anything good for them, so it was best to block the "Blood Coffin Man" first.

Seeing Li Luo's attack, the writhing human face on that piece of flesh emitted a harsh, dry laugh and spat out a blood arrow, attempting to cancel out Li Luo's beam of Light Xiang Li.

But the Blood Coffin Man's state at this time seemed to be extremely weak; a single blood arrow failed to completely neutralize Li Luo's Xiang Li, so the remaining Xiang Li struck the flesh.

Ah!

Immediately, the Blood Coffin Man's face showed an expression of pain, and the flesh began to melt rapidly. However, the Blood Coffin Man understood this was his last chance; he endured the melting effect of the Light Xiang Li and landed on the "Blood Egg."

The instant they made contact, the flesh merged into the "Blood Egg."

Boom!

The moment it merged, an extremely terrifying aura of evil intent suddenly erupted, raising huge blood waves in the blood pool.

Everyone was drawn to this sudden change.

Feng Lingyuan, Wang Kong, Wei Zhonglou, and others all changed color and hurriedly rushed over.

"What's going on?!" they shouted in unison.

Yin Yue Zhiyu had just come to her senses at this moment and quickly explained what had happened; upon hearing this, everyone's faces immediately darkened, and they stared at the "Blood Egg" with suspicious and alarmed eyes.

"That Blood Coffin Man was aiming for the 'Blood Egg' from the start. Seeing the situation turn unfavorable earlier, he directly abandoned his physical body, while secretly infiltrating a piece of flesh into the blood pool, then found an opportunity to merge with it," Feng Lingyuan said, somewhat regretful; she had been careless earlier, thinking she had truly killed the Blood Coffin Man completely.

"Everyone attack together! Destroy this 'Blood Egg' at all costs!" Li Luo said in a deep voice.

Now that the Blood Coffin Man and the "Blood Egg" had merged, no one knew what changes would occur.

Feng Lingyuan and the others immediately summoned everyone; in the next moment, countless Xiang Li attacks gathered, striking the "Blood Egg" with overwhelming force.

Zhong Jie Zhong Jie.

However, at this moment, a strange, piercing laugh suddenly came from within the Blood Egg; the surface of the Blood Egg writhed, and the distorted face of the Blood Coffin Man appeared.

"Fools! I have merged with the True Demon Egg; from now on, I am the True Demon!" the Blood Coffin Man shrieked, then rolled up towering blood water, transforming it into a curtain of blood.

The numerous fierce Xiang Li attacks that fell upon the blood water were rapidly dissolved.

A terrifying fluctuation was being nurtured within the Blood Egg.

"True Demon?!"

Feng Lingyuan and the others all changed color; the True Demon possessed the strength of the Marquis Realm. If this Blood Coffin Man had truly completed the breakthrough, none of them would be his match.

However, just as the crowd was in a panic, a violent, chaotic fluctuation suddenly erupted from within the blood egg, and faintly a wisp of light emerged within it.

Ah!

The Blood Coffin man's face instantly twisted with agony and fury.

"Ah, you damnable brat, damnable light resonance!" he shrieked.

Li Luo was stunned for a moment, then understood—it was the wisp of light resonance power he had landed on the flesh and blood earlier. That wisp of light resonance had been carried by the Blood Coffin man into the interior of the blood egg, and so now it had triggered some loss of control of the internal power.

Under the gazes of the bewildered crowd, the blood egg writhed violently, the turmoil within growing ever more terrifying.

In the end, the Blood Coffin man's maddened shrieking also faded away, and just as the crowd breathed a sigh of relief, the blood egg suddenly split in two.

Half the blood egg transformed into a streak of blood-light and fled straight into the sky.

The other half of the blood egg, meanwhile, pierced straight through the void and shot violently toward Li Luo.

Li Luo was horrified and his figure shot backward.

Feng Lingyuan and the others, seeing this, hurriedly erupted with streaks of resonance power, attempting to shatter this half of the blood egg.

But the blood egg was extremely vicious, directly smashing through their attacks head-on, and in a flash, caught up with Li Luo.

Li Luo's eyes flashed with a vicious glint, and he slashed down with his blade.

The blade edge touched the blood egg, and the latter flowed down like mud, rolling swiftly along the blade edge until it finally made contact with Li Luo's palm.

Hiss!

The blood egg flowed right in.

Li Luo's expression instantly darkened to the extreme at this moment.
