Chapter 285 - 285 The Golden Sea of Blood
285 The Golden Sea of Blood
The two top-notch experts, who stood at the peak of Lingjiang, could not withstand a single moment in front of the dragon corpse. Even the formidable tiger-wolf formation, formed by thousands of soldiers, collapsed.
Countless soldiers spat out blood and exploded into a bloody mist under the overwhelming force of the dragon. They were all defeated by Qin Huai’s hands.
Qin Huai looked at the soldiers scattered across the mountain, his eyes filled with murderous intent. He urged the dragon corpse to descend from the sky like a whip, creating a fierce wind that rumbled like thunder.
However, just as the dragon was about to fall to the ground, the floating dragon head crashed down, stirring up dust and splattering the frozen earth.
Blood trickled down the corner of Qin Huai’s mouth, and his entire body went limp. “At least I managed to deliver the final blow,” his voice trembled.
Although he had not been able to wipe out the entire army of the county governor and the Sacred Heart sect, almost all of their experts had died. This was particularly true for the few experts at the fifth-level bone pattern realm who had stood at the peak of the Lingjiang.
Qin Huai could also stare down the experts at the third or fourth-level bone pattern realm and unleash the might of the dragon corpse. He forced himself to raise his head, looking through the drifting dust at the spot where the last strike had landed. Fortunately, the power of the dragon corpse had been unleashed.
“Sect Master!” Li Zeren and the others shouted anxiously from a distance, their voices carrying a sobbing tone.
They were standing about ten meters away from the dragon corpse, which was emitting a terrifying power. Ten meters was the restricted area; stepping within that range would make it difficult for them to breathe due to the overwhelming pressure.
“I’m fine. You guys just kill the enemies. Do not give them the chance to counterattack,” Qin Huai’s voice rang out slowly.
Li Zeren and the others heaved a sigh of relief. “Understood!” they replied, leading the Nine Dragons sect disciples who were in high spirits to chase down the mountain.
Most of the bone pattern realm experts had already been killed by the dragon corpse controlled by Qin Huai, so the remaining experts had their fighting spirits shattered. Even though the Sacred Heart sect and the county governor’s mansion still outnumbered their opponents after Qin Huai’s attack, they were already defeated.
The Nine Dragons sect and the Twin Extreme sect had sounded the horn of counterattack.
Trembling, Qin Huai crawled out of the dragon’s head. He looked at the one-sided massacre at the foot of the mountain, and his heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally relaxed.
Qin Huai slowly climbed the mountain and reached the top of the Nine Dragons Mountain. He looked at the uncollected experience orbs scattered across the mountain and began to gather them from the Sacred Heart sect members. This was because he had killed most of them; half of the seven to eight thousand Sacred Heart believers had died at his hands.
“Ding! You have collected a [Blood Heart Force Comprehension], [Blood Heart Force] +1%!”
“Ding! You have collected a [Blood Heart Force Comprehension], [Blood Heart Force] +3%!”
“Ding! You have collected a [Blood Heart Force Comprehension], [Blood Heart Force] +2%!”
The blood heart force had already reached an astonishing 75% previously, so it only took a moment to surpass the 100% mark. Memories flooded his mind once again.
Qin Huai found himself submerged in an ocean, his entire body buried within. Terrifying pressure poured out from all directions, filling the blood-colored ocean with fear. He subconsciously held his breath and observed the sea of blood.
Suddenly, he heard a loud wail. The next moment, a massive black shadow swam past him.
Qin Huai waited for a long time, wondering if the world had changed. The black shadow eventually passed, revealing countless creatures in the previously empty and deep blood sea. They hovered in the sea of blood like Qin Huai or floated weakly, as if they were drowning.
In the sea of blood, corpses were everywhere. Qin Huai stared at this ‘cultivation memory’ in a daze. The pungent smell of blood and the mysterious fear emanating from the boundless expanse made it increasingly difficult for him to breathe. He wanted to take a breath, but the blood around him poured directly into his mouth.
Bang!
He died in his memories, unable to withstand the power of the cultivation technique, and his body exploded. Fortunately, this was only a part of Qin Huai’s ‘memory,’ and he wasn’t really dead.
Then, he was ‘reborn’ once again and returned to the sea of blood. In the sea of blood, he watched all living beings sink into oblivion, and countless enormous creatures that he could not see clearly floated in front of him. Eventually, everything disappeared, leaving only a blurry figure quietly floating in the depths of the ocean.
Even though they were thousands of miles apart, Qin Huai’s gaze was involuntarily drawn to the blurry figure. “Is that the source of the blood heart technique?” he wondered, furrowing his brows and contemplating.
If the source of the nine dragons true qi technique was the white dragon, could the power of the blood heart technique come from this figure?
Suddenly, a dazzling golden light flashed, causing Qin Huai to lose sight of everything in front of him. His ears buzzed, and the blood-colored ocean suddenly heated up. When he opened his eyes again, the sea of blood had transformed into a golden ocean.
The intense pain instantly pulled Qin Huai out of the sea of blood. His spine felt as hot as boiling water, as if tens of thousands of ants were biting at his bone marrow. There were several times when he nearly fell to his knees, sweat pouring down his forehead like a waterfall.
However, Qin Huai’s expression gradually calmed down. He quietly listened to the crisp crackling sound of his body and could feel the intricate patterns forming on his spine.
