Chapter 10: Blood Fiend Qi Rages Beneath the Earth Vein

Blood Dragon and the others, excited within the Earth Vein, suddenly looked ahead in suspicion.

Mysterious Yellow Qi surged beneath their feet, forming a ring that encircled them.

Looking up at their surroundings, the entire group of the Demon Race was shrouded in Mysterious Yellow Qi, with every figure possessing a halo.

"Big Brother! What is this?" Xiongda and Xionger asked in unison.

They had never liked to use their brains to begin with, and after meeting Blood Dragon, they were even lazier about thinking through problems.

Whenever there was something they did not understand, both Demons were more accustomed to asking Blood Dragon.

"It is likely that the senior has made some arrangements," Blood Dragon did not understand either, so he could only respond casually.

Setting aside the Demon Race members the senior had cast down, in all these years, apart from those stone men who buried themselves in hard work, he had not seen anyone else come.

As he spoke, he slowly extended his right hand, gently reaching toward the Mysterious Yellow Qi in front of him.

It could not be touched and remained unmoved; the Mysterious Yellow Qi, though close at hand, seemed as if it did not exist.

Many figures around them discovered this oddity, but everyone merely watched with curiosity, without a hint of panic.

Before they could investigate further, the colorful light before their eyes became dazzling, and in a shift of stars and movement of time, they had already appeared in another place.

Blood Dragon immediately looked around, his expression instantly turning to one of wild joy.

"An Earth Vein! It is another Earth Vein!" he exclaimed loudly, his face unable to suppress his excitement.

Clearing one Earth Vein had not only eliminated the Karma on his body but also allowed him to step into the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. Now that there was another one, how could he not be excited?

"Roar, roar! This is great!"

"Big Brother, Second Brother, let's go!"

Xiongda and Xionger were also jubilant, and with a 'whoosh', they rushed toward the nearest miscellaneous stones.

Exclamations rang out one after another all around; after a rough glance, it seemed the figures had thinned out quite a bit.

Blood Dragon did not think too much about it and picked up his pickaxe to get to work, though another doubt rose in his heart.

This was clearly a new Earth Vein, with numerous miscellaneous stones visible to the naked eye floating and sinking, and dim light and blood-colored light flashing.

Why were these many Earth Veins all polluted and blocked? Were the remaining ones the same? What exactly had happened to the Primordial World? Blood Dragon did not know; he only had the Taiyi Golden Immortal realm. If it were not for Tian Yuan, he would not even be able to touch upon these things.

There were some records within the clan; perhaps that ancestor of his knew a little more.

Putting aside the distracting thoughts in his heart, Blood Dragon began the work of clearing the Earth Vein. Every piece of miscellaneous stone removed was a form of cultivation; not a single minute or second could be delayed.

The many members of the Demon Race around him were likewise seizing the time, and suddenly, the sounds of 'ding-ding-dang-dang' rang out everywhere.

Tian Yuan, standing atop the Heavenly Pillar Mount Buzhou, frowned.

The breakthrough in the realm of the Demons was within his expectations; after all, they had cleared an Earth Vein.

Although he had only broken through one realm, this was merely the feedback from his avatar; Mount Buzhou had gained the most.

The mountain body had surged by tens of thousands of feet, becoming harder and thicker, and the will gathered toward it had also become much denser.

The strengthening of the will of Mount Buzhou allowed Tian Yuan to make other discoveries.

Casually tossing two Demon Race members aside, he leaped from the air and arrived at the branch vein that had just been purified.

Shrouded in a faint will, Tian Yuan's burly figure slowly sank, submerging into the space beneath the Earth Vein.

Blood-colored! Blood mist permeated the air, and there was no end in sight!

"How could it be like this?" Looking at the blood mist that shrouded his entire field of vision, Tian Yuan's eyes held suspicion.

Blood Fiend Qi; the entire area beneath the Earth Vein was actually filled with Blood Fiend Qi, and the aura was very familiar.

The blood-red Strange Stones in the Earth Vein were not polluted by the will outside, but were an erosion coming from beneath the Earth Vein.

Facing his appearance, the blood mist seemed to possess life, rapidly gathering toward him and eroding his physical body.

Tian Yuan's stone body shook, and the mass of blood mist spilled outward, drifting toward the surroundings.

Looking around, his gaze suddenly narrowed; he reached out with a large hand, and a pitch-black miscellaneous stone fell into his palm. The stone was of unknown material, its surface pitted and covered in numerous protrusions, with several suckers hanging limply upon it.

It was precisely the miscellaneous stone that blocked the Earth Vein, the very foreign matter that had been removed, yet it appeared here.

A light squeeze of his right hand, and with a 'puchi' sound, it instantly turned into powder, subsequently being corroded clean by the blood mist.

It was impossible to shake within the Earth Vein, being incomparably hard, yet it was so fragile here.

The blood-red impurities in the Earth Vein came from here, while the other foreign matter that had been removed appeared here instead.

The function of the Earth Vein was not as simple as he had imagined.

Tian Yuan rose and fled toward the depths, moving at full speed, yet the blood mist still permeated the air, with no end in sight.

After half a day, Tian Yuan turned back; he had gained nothing.

The space below was very large, and with his limited time, Tian Yuan planned to investigate further once his Dao practice was deeper.

Tian Yuan, having drilled back into the Earth Vein, flashed and appeared in the first Earth Vein he had cleared. As his figure sank below, it was indeed also a sea of blood.

Tian Yuan drilled into the space beneath other Earth Veins, including the three largest Main Veins, and it was the same.

Beneath the three Main Veins, the blood color was thick, with a faint tendency to turn into blood water.

Fortunately, the will of Mount Buzhou had recovered somewhat, blocking their erosion; otherwise, the longer the time, the more severe the blockage of the Earth Veins would surely become.

In the gray firmament, many mixed wills drifted, and beneath the earth, blood mist also permeated.

Because of the Consciousness Space of Mount Buzhou, he began to feel somewhat like a stranger to this Primordial World.

Only by clearing as many Earth Veins as possible could he thoroughly understand the situation of this space.

Tian Yuan returned to Mount Buzhou and took the time to look at the Innate Gourd Vine.

Tian Yuan held great expectations for this Spiritual Root that addressed him as 'Father Mountain'.

After familiarizing himself well with his own realm, Tian Yuan was very satisfied.

His mastery of the Earth Law had become increasingly proficient, and his physical body had also become even more formidable; this was what Tian Yuan was happiest about.

A real man should crush everything with a violent physical body.

Because of this point, he still appreciated the Wu Clan very much.

Tian Yuan walked with long strides, his right hand beckoning slightly, and a glowing crystal appeared in his palm, emitting wisps of faint light.

Star Stone, fallen from the Primordial Starry Sky, rumored to be the discarded core shed by a star, incomparably hard.

Tian Yuan took a light bite, and starlight surged, drilling into his body.

Faint energy spread out, with the majority converging toward his chest.

Tian Yuan touched his own chest, his eyes filled with anticipation.

There lay the only magic treasure he possessed, a Supreme Innate Spiritual Treasure.

Mount Buzhou had countless heavenly materials and earthly treasures, but very few magic treasures.

Aside from the seven gourds on the Innate Gourd Vine, there was only this one he had refined within his body.

Tian Yuan guessed that, in all likelihood, they had already been scavenged by Hongjun and the others before he arrived in this world.

That guy clearly had no need for magic treasures, yet he hoarded a whole pile of them.

Arriving at the foot of Mount Buzhou, the members of the Wu Clan who had previously ambushed and besieged him were no longer there.

Tian Yuan did not pay it any mind and stepped forward, fleeing toward the nearest Wu Clan tribe.

However, before taking action, he needed to properly scout the situation of the Wu Clan.

Although he had occasionally encountered the Wu Clan over these years, they were almost all fleeting brushes, and even when he spotted a Wu Clan tribe, he would only take a distant look before fleeing.
