The World that Tao Rules, Volume 14, page 5
Xiang Hongchen closed her eyes, and Jiang Yun ignored the rune, focusing on how to take all the Blood Crystals.
Directly taking them would surely raise suspicion among the group.
The amount of Blood Crystals was huge, far beyond what was needed for setting up formations or absorbing poison gas.
What's more, besides needing it for oneself, others will also need it.
Just then, Jiang Yun's expression suddenly changed.
Following that, Guluo, Mo Gang, and Fusangzi all had a change in their expressions, looking as if they were facing a great enemy.
The four of them looked in one direction!
Chapter 769: Too Easy
Under the cover of the colorful light ahead, a small snake of blood color slowly appeared!
Even though this blood snake was only about a foot long, it emitted a strong aura as if made of fresh blood.
This aura is comparable to Dao Spirit!
As this blood snake appeared, everyone's expressions immediately relaxed.
In the Tao Spiritual Realm, the blood snake is no different from an earthworm to cultivators from the Sky Blessed Realm.
Fusangzi looked at Jiang Yun and said, "Taoist Friend Gu, as a Demon Refiner, why not use your skills to tame this little demon?"
Jiang Yun's expression became more serious when Fusangzi spoke, he even quietly signaled to the Firebird on his shoulder, "Stay close to me later!"
As soon as Jiang Yun finished speaking, the blood snake suddenly raised its head and let out a low growl, its long body coiling together.
Following that, behind the blood snake, within a colorful void, numerous other blood snakes appeared!
They were densely packed, covering the sky!
Although each blood snake only had the aura of the Tao Spiritual Realm, their sheer numbers posed a considerable threat to the Sky Blessed Realm.
Moreover, all these blood snakes appeared identical, as if they were made from the same mold.
With Fusangzi and the others' cultivation and insight, they could tell that these creatures were not living beings, but were formed from some unknown substance.
Only Jiang Yun thought to himself, "Did that blood demon summon it?"
At that moment, Fusangzi and the others' faces changed again.
"Buzzing!"
Before their faces could return to normal, countless blood snakes suddenly arched their bodies and shot towards the group.
Guluo stepped forward first, standing directly in front of Xiang Hongchen and said firmly, "Everyone, protect Taoist Friend Xiang. Xiang, you better hurry!"
Even though everyone didn't want to fight these blood snakes, they were clueless on where to go, so they ended up surrounding Xiang Hongchen, even Jiang Yun.
Being in the front, Guluo was the first to encounter the attack of the snakes. As he waved his sleeves, green bamboo poles appeared in the air.
Along with the colorful light covering, everyone felt like they were in a bamboo forest.
These bamboos swayed gently, forming a continuous barrier that blocked the snake's attacks. Although some snakes got through, Fusangzi and Mo Gang acted almost simultaneously.
The two of them didn't use any magic, they just used their strong skills to attack continuously.
Each attack caused many blood snakes to explode.
However, after the blood snakes died, they didn't bleed or scatter flesh, they simply disappeared, confirming everyone's earlier thoughts.
The truly terrifying thing was that these blood snakes were endless, they couldn't be killed.
With the combined attack of three Sky Blessed Realm experts and Jiang Yun, thousands of blood snakes disappeared instantly.
But gradually, countless blood snakes started to emerge around their bodies.
This made Guluo and the other two people look serious.
Even if the blood snakes couldn't be killed, if they kept standing there killing the snakes, they would exhaust themselves before the snakes were all gone.
That's why Fusangzi couldn't help but urge, "Taoist Friend Xiang, please hurry!"
Even though Xiang Hongchen had her eyes tightly shut, she was keenly aware of everything happening around her. So when the blood snake lunged towards her for the second time, she finally opened her eyes and pointed in a direction, saying, "There!"
As soon as she spoke, everyone swiftly began moving towards the direction Xiang Hongchen indicated.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yun, who had been lingering at the back, his eyes gleaming coldly, discreetly absorbed all the Blood Crystals left behind without hesitation.
At this moment, while everyone was defending themselves against the blood snakes around them, Jiang Yun, in order to conceal his actions, made each move appear grand with billowing mist, successfully evading detection.
However, the process of collecting the Blood Crystals was extremely slow. As the group continued walking and fighting, covering a distance of nearly ten thousand feet, they finally saw a colorful halo towering ahead.
Xiang Hongchen urgently exclaimed, "Through the halo lies another world!"
Upon hearing this, confusion showed on everyone's faces.
Wasn't the whole process too simple?
Although the blood snakes did pose some trouble, they were not a threat to their lives at all.
Most importantly, the powerful demon race that they felt before still hasn't appeared, and they are about to enter another world?
Only a faint smirk appeared in Fusangzi's eyes!
Despite their doubts, with no other exit except for the halo ahead, everyone had to continue towards the halo.
Guluo took the lead and said, "Everyone, I'll go explore the path first!"
With that, he rushed into the halo, and as his figure disappeared from it, the halo started shrinking!
This startled everyone, and Fusangzi shouted, "Everyone, it seems this halo will disappear soon. Let's go in together before Guluo. "
His suggestion was immediately agreed by Xiang Hongchen, and the two followed Guluo into the halo, with it now half its original size!
In this space filled with endless blood snakes, only Jiang Yun and Mo Gang remained!
Mo Gang suddenly grinned at Jiang Yun and said, "Young one, you stay here and don't go in!"
As the words fell, Mo Gang suddenly raised his hand and fiercely punched towards Jiang Yun.
However, as his fist was halfway extended, a puff of smoke suddenly drifted into his nose, making his body unable to move, freezing his fist in the air. His eyes showed fear, staring dead at Jiang Yun in front of him.
Jiang Yun was always on guard against Guluo and especially Mo Gang and Fusangzi.
So, as Fusangzi and the others entered the halo, he already had Soul-Locking Incense in his hand. Seeing Mo Gang make a move, he instantly ignited the Soul-Locking Incense.
Jiang Yun never showed mercy to those who wanted to kill him.
"Boom!"
Jiang Yun fiercely punched Mo Gang in the chest, who couldn't move. Although it made Mo Gang's face change, Jiang Yun's fist also felt intense pain in return.
This surprise him, Mo Gang's physical strength was incredibly powerful!
The demon clan excelled in physical strength. Jiang Yun had learned this when he killed a demon clan named Mo Shan in the Shadow Spirit World.
Back then, he was only at Blessed Land Realm, but now he has reached the fifth level of Dao Spirit. With all his strength, he punched Mo Gang, who only showed a slight change in expression. However, Jiang Yun's hand was left throbbing from the impact, which was unimaginable to him.
"In Sky Blessed Realm, there truly are no weaklings!"
Just as Jiang Yun was about to take out the Hidden Tao Sword to quickly defeat Mo Gang, a burst of light suddenly erupted from his eyes. In an instant, he turned around and looked behind him.
Because he heard a deep sigh!
Chapter 770: Things Change
Behind him, there were endless Blood Snakes and Blood Crystals, but nothing else.
At the moment Jiang Yun turned to look behind him, a red branch suddenly extended from the halo, wrapping around Mo Gang's motionless body. With a strong pull, Mo Gang was directly pulled into the halo.
The sound of the wind caused by the branch made Jiang Yun turn back around to see the branch disappearing into the halo.
Fusang Tree!
In Jiang Yun's eyes, a cold light flashed, "If Fusangzi saved Mo Gang, then Mo Gang might try to harm me, which must be Fusangzi's intention."
"So it seems that Fusangzi and Mo Gang are working together, while Guluo and Xiang Hongchen are also a team!"
"Kid, you can't go in yet!"
Just then, the Firebird, flapping its wings and emitting flames, preventing the Blood snake from getting closer, couldn't help but urge.
Jiang Yun's heart moved, and instead of answering, he asked, "Firebird, did you hear a sigh just now?"
"What sigh? Come on, this Blood snake is not tasty at all!"
Firebird's response made Jiang Yun frown slightly, only he heard it, could it be his imagination?
"You go in first, I will follow soon after!"
Firebird ignored Jiang Yun, folded its wings, and plunged directly into the halo.
Jiang Yun turned around and looked at the many blood snakes and Blood Crystals around him. He really wanted to stay here, but seeing the disappearing halo made him reluctantly give up the idea.
With a quick movement, Jiang Yun finally entered the halo.
As Jiang Yun's figure entered the halo, the halo finally completely disappeared, making the colorful void space covered with gentle light return to calmness.
The numerous blood snakes surrounding him also turned around and scattered in all directions.
Just as these blood snakes were about to disappear, suddenly all their bodies stopped at the same time.
Then, silently, countless blood snakes exploded all at once in a split second, turning into nothingness!
Within this void space, another sigh was heard, and a murky voice sounded, "Interesting, interesting. I actually sense the aura of my race on this human boy!"
"Dao God Temple, do you think that by imprisoning me here and relying on the Seven Star Tao Seal, you can completely seal me? This time, my opportunity has come!"
At the same time as this voice fell, Lei Ling and Yue Qing inside Dao San Palace couldn't help but show a slight change in their expressions.
Because of Lei Ling's lightning ball that showed four images, it exploded at that moment.
No matter how hard Lei Ling tried to use magic again, he couldn't restore the lightning ball.
This made them completely unaware of what was happening in the so-called trial ground.
They didn't even hear what the voice that had just appeared said.
Yue Qing frowned and asked, "Brother Lei, has this kind of situation happened before?"
"Never!"
Lei Ling's face turned serious as he said, "Let's do this, Brother Yue, I will now let you enter the trial ground to fulfill your wish."
"What about you?"
"Things have changed, my fellow disciples at Dao San Palace have already entered the trial ground early, I must inform them first, and then I will come to find Brother Yue and have a match with him!"
"However, there is something I need to remind you, Brother Yue. Since you are not a disciple of our Dao San Palace, your cultivation will be suppressed when you enter the trial grounds, probably around the Sky Blessed Realm level. This suppression will disappear as soon as you leave."
When Yue Qing heard that Lei Ling would not enter with him, he felt relieved.
He had been thinking about how to reject Lei Ling, but the sudden change actually ended up helping him.
As for the suppression of his cultivation and the potential dangers of going to the trial grounds alone, he didn't worry at all.
Even if he only had the cultivation of the Sky Blessed Realm left, he faced a mere ten or so practitioners at that level with confidence.
Despite feeling pleased inside, Yue Qing kept a serious expression and said, "Brother Lei, if I encounter disciples of the Dao San Palace in the trial grounds, I will lend a hand."
"Thank you, Brother Yue."
As he spoke, Lei Ling handed Yue Qing a formation stone and said, "Crush this stone, and you can directly enter the trial grounds!"
"Great!"
Yue Qing didn't hesitate at all, he directly crushed the formation stone, disappeared, and reappeared in a colorful world, with a vast sea below.
Looking at the sea, Yue Qing couldn't help but show anger again, because it reminded him of the annoying sea monster in the Mountain-Sea World.
At that moment, threads of blood suddenly rushed into his body from all directions in the air, forming a blood-red seal, suppressing his original level of cultivation from Daoxing Realm back to the later stage of Sky Blessed Realm.
"Jiang Yun, oh Jiang Yun, this time I want to see if you are prepared. All the good things on you will be mine!"
Although Yue Qing truly despised Jiang Yun, the reason he wanted to personally kill Jiang Yun was because of the valuable items on him.
The Hidden Tao Sword, the Soul-Scattering Whip, and the Soul-Locking Incense, they were all things he must have!
In the next moment, Yue Qing unleashed his divine sense without hesitation to search for Jiang Yun's whereabouts.
Jiang Yun was completely unaware of all of this.
At this moment, he found himself in a similarly colorful world.
However, this world is no longer empty, but has an endless plain.
Although there is no sun above the sky, it is still filled with colorful light, making it look like a dream.
Jiang Yun stood in a corner of this plain, quietly observing everything around him.
This is indeed another world. The most obvious difference is that there are no longer seven suns in the sky, and there is no poison in the air.
However, there is also no spiritual energy, and no presence of celestial essence.
Only a strong pressure fills the space between heaven and earth.
Even with Jiang Yun's current level of cultivation, he can feel that this pressure will affect his actions.
In addition, there are faint blood threads emerging from the air, flowing towards his body.
However, as soon as these blood threads enter his body, they are immediately swallowed and disappear by the blood-colored Boundary Sea.
Even though Jiang Yun didn't know what these threads of blood were for, since they didn't affect him at all, he didn't pay them any mind.
What made him feel strange was that people like Mo Gang and Firebird, who had entered just a few moments before him, had all disappeared without a trace, and he had no idea where they were.
"That halo should be a teleportation array, which randomly transports people who enter to different places here."
Thoughts were quickly swirling in Jiang Yun's mind, analyzing the situation here.
"Wait, if it really is a teleportation array, how did Fusangzi, who entered first, manage to rescue Mo Gang?"
"Could Fusangzi have a way to avoid this kind of transport?"
"Although this place is no longer the world of the seven layers of the Dao Prison, if I'm not mistaken, this place should still be within the Dao Prison's realm!"
"Could that sigh just now have been from that Tao Achieving Demon?"
"What role is it playing here exactly?"
After thinking quietly for a moment, Jiang Yun realized that the answers to these questions must be hidden in the world he was currently in. So, he started to walk slowly forward.
While Jiang Yun was taking steps forward, in several other places in this colorful world, figures started to appear one after another.
Judging by the clothes they were wearing, it was easy to tell that they were disciples of Dao San Palace.
Chapter 771: Wolves Many, Meat Few
These disciples of Dao San Palace, although appearing in several different places, were not alone. Some were in groups of four or five, while others were in groups of two or three.
