2563 Swallowing the Ominous
As the saying went, strike while the iron was hot. As soon as the Demon Vanquishing Tree finished dealing with the Bloody Hand Mine Devil, Han Fei set off again to the blood spring.
When he reached the blood spring, the Demon Vanquishing Tree wouldn’t come and wouldn’t even look here. All these years, he hadn’t gotten rid of the Bloody Hand Mine Devils here because he didn’t dare to pry into the blood spring.
When Han Fei arrived, the scene was a mess. The 5,000 God Sealing Spears that he had set up earlier had all turned to dust. Although the materials needed to refine the God Sealing Spear didn’t necessarily need to be good, there were a lot of them!
After setting up the remaining more than 10,000 God Sealing Spears, Han Fei summoned the old turtle.
The old turtle said, “I can’t resist the ominous power. You’d better let me go back!”
Han Fei asked, “Wait a minute, Old Yuan, do you have any way to deal with the Demon Vanquishing Tree? Although he is a Monarch, I think he must have consumed a lot of energy to kill more than 3,000 Bloody Hand Mine Devils in a row. We have to hold back just in case.”
The old turtle looked at Han Fei speechlessly. After a moment of silence, he said, “I advise you not to think too much. The Demon Vanquishing Tree may be a little exhausted, but he won’t be as exhausted as you think. Besides, over the years, Puppet City has accumulated countless resources. It won’t take long for him to replenish them.”
Han Fei was lost for words. “Then why didn’t he get rid of the Bloody Hand Mine Devils and let them grow to this level? There are so many Bloody Hand Mine Devils in this Mine Demon Stream. Isn’t he afraid that one day, the seal in the Mine Demon Stream will be broken?”
The old turtle said, “This is simple. Firstly, it’s because he’s too far away. If I’ve guessed right, this Demon Vanquishing Tree can’t leave Puppet City. Therefore, the measures he can perform outside Puppet City are limited. The blood spring is not far from Puppet City, but it blocked his path. Therefore, unless it’s a special case, his main consciousness won’t take the risk to go out. He will only let his ordinary roots spread out to kill some mine demon creatures or something. Crossing the blood spring, he probably can’t kill many Bloody Hand Mine Devils.”
Han Fei asked, “And secondly?”
The old turtle said, “Secondly, he doesn’t want to wipe out the Bloody Hand Mine Devils. After all, the Bloody Hand Mine Devils can continuously provide him with minerals.”
Han Fei frowned. “Do you think this Demon Vanquishing Tree is really not contaminated?”
The old turtle said, “He doesn’t seem to have been contaminated, at least not on the surface. But you can’t underestimate it anyway. Although you have embarked on the Dao of Extreme Balance and are extremely strong, you are definitely no match for him. There’s no doubt about that. Otherwise, what’s the point of being a Monarch? As for the means to deal with him, so far, none. If there were, the Demon Vanquishing Tree wouldn’t have guarded Puppet City alone in the past.”
Han Fei’s heart sank. It seemed that he could only trust the Demon Vanquishing Tree!
However, the old turtle suddenly changed the topic. “However, don’t trust this Demon Vanquishing Tree. No matter what his race is, there’s no absolute trust in the world of the strong. For example, he said that he can unleash immortal-level combat power. I can tell you with certainty that he’s lying.”
“Huh? What do you mean?”
The old turtle said, “Based on my understanding of Great Monarch Mystic Martial, it’s impossible for her to run away without leaving any trump cards. Think about it, so many of her descendants are buried under the city. How can she not leave any trump cards here? Therefore, Puppet City definitely has the power to resist a Great Monarch-level powerhouse. Therefore, if you can successfully resolve the blood spring, don’t go back. If this Demon Vanquishing Tree burns the bridge after crossing the river, we’ll all be doomed.”
Han Fei narrowed his eyes. “Do you mean that this Demon Vanquishing Tree may have the intention to kill us?”
The old turtle said, “I’m not sure about that, but there’s one thing that can prove that the Demon Vanquishing Tree is not so easy to get close to. In ancient times, Puppet City was the base camp of Great Monarch Mystic Martial, and there were countless powerful puppets in the city. Now, I’m not sure what the situation in the city is like, but I think the real power of Puppet City still exists. Anyway, as long as you don’t enter Puppet City, it won’t be a problem for you to fall out with him in the future. If you have the ability to conquer Puppet City, you will definitely gain a lot. Of course, this is a little difficult. It’s best not to be rash.”
Han Fei made it clear. “Aren’t you on good terms with Great Monarch Mystic Martial? Why do you suggest I conquer Puppet City?”
The old turtle said, “It’s different! I have something to do with Great Monarch Mystic Martial, not the Demon Vanquishing Tree. Besides, Mystic Martial is already gone. Do you think I’ll still guard her home? The best way is to take what belongs to her and use it for my own use. If I meet her again in the future, I’ll return it to her.”
Han Fei: “…”
Han Fei thought to himself, It’s true that the old turtle never changed his nature! He didn’t even hesitate to rob his good friend. Although the devil’s nature has been restrained, it has always been there.
After asking the old turtle to return to his Origin Star, Han Fei summoned the Emperor Sparrow.
This time, as soon as the Emperor Sparrow came out, he raised his head and stared at the blood spring in the distance. “This is a relatively pure ominous power. And there’s a lot of it.”
Han Fei asked, “How much can you eat?”
Yes, Han Fei said that he had a way to purify this ominous power, but he wasn’t going to use his own vitality to purify it. The Emperor Sparrow had the ability to swallow ominous things, and it did swallow a lot. In the past few years, he had complained to him a lot that he couldn’t get the demon seeds of the Lizard Demons, so he was malnourished, hungry, unable to grow quickly, and so on.
In the past, the Emperor Sparrow swallowed a lot of murderous aura in the Yin-Yang World, which was still fresh in his mind.
The Emperor Sparrow tilted his head and looked at Han Fei. “You can give it a try first. If it’s just what has escaped so far, it can improve and stabilize my realm. It might not be enough.”
“Not enough? Not good enough!”
Han Fei was overjoyed. He was afraid that the Emperor Sparrow couldn’t eat enough.
The Emperor Sparrow said, “Don’t be happy too early. There’s already so much ominous power dissipating. I suspect that there’s something under the blood spring. Therefore, it’s difficult to estimate how much ominous power is really contained here, so we can only give it a try first.”
Han Fei said, “Okay! Try as much as you want. I’m not in a hurry.”
The Emperor Sparrow didn’t ask where this was. Since he opened the sky, he hadn’t been full. Even if he had encountered the Bloody Hand Mine Devils, it could only supply energy to his level-up a few times. However, it was far from enough if he wanted to stabilize his cultivation.
The Emperor Sparrow unfolded his wings and ignored the overwhelming blood Qi and black smoke, rushing to the sky above the blood pool.
“Tweet ~”
With a clear cry, the Emperor Sparrow opened his mouth, and the boundless blood mist began to rush into his body.
As for Han Fei, he clicked his tongue in wonder. He knew that the Emperor Sparrow was an ominous nemesis. It seemed that purifying this ominous power was much simpler for the Emperor Sparrow than he had imagined!
Han Fei even set up a hot pot. It was unlikely that the Emperor Sparrow could absorb all the ominous power in one or two days. He would have a big meal first and then start refining weapons.
He had no choice. He was determined to build the Seven Kill Army into a terrifying all-Sky Opener army. Therefore, if possible, it would be best if each of the soldiers had a Sea Quelling Bizarre Treasure, even if it was a low-quality one.
Half a year later.
“Tweet ~”
The Emperor Sparrow flapped his wings and soared to the sky. He shouted, “Han Fei, fuse with me.”
Han Fei was forging a weapon with a sledgehammer. Hearing this, he was shocked, but without any hesitation, he immediately flew away.
When he approached the sky above the blood spring, the God’s Prayer Bead on his chest glowed brightly. He saw the Emperor Sparrow turned into a black shadow and suddenly entered his body.
Buzz!
On Han Fei’s back, the black wings spread out, and the Emperor Sparrow said to him via voice transmission, “The ominous power at the periphery has all been swallowed by me, and I’m about to make a breakthrough. I originally wanted to go deeper into the blood spring, but there is a terrifying existence below. With my strength, I am not strong enough to be its enemy, so I need you to fuse with me.”
Han Fei had only fused with the Emperor Sparrow once, and this was the second time. And this time, the realm of the Emperor Sparrow was the same as his. After the fusion, Han Fei felt that his strength had soared, and many great techniques appeared in his mind.
At this moment, the blood spring here had dried up and was less than half the size of the beginning. A hole appeared in the center of the blood spring, which seemed to have been drilled out by the Emperor Sparrow.
When Han Fei looked at the hole, he immediately felt a terrifying power shining at him. Without thinking, he activated the Heavenly Fiend Battle Body and the Fiend Eating Divine Technique. Holding the liquid divine light, Han Fei punched into the hole.
Bang!
Below, a terrifying vortex was formed in the hole, as if an invisible hand was trying to drag Han Fei down.
But how could Han Fei be willing to go down? What was suppressed below was one of the arms of the Great Monarch Bloody Hand. After millions of years, this arm could create so many Bloody Hand Mine Devils. No one knew how much power it still had.
However, the suction force was so terrifying that Han Fei had to summon the Heaven Enlightenment Divine Technique. When his body was filled with divine light and he blasted it into the hole, the suction force was slightly relieved.
“Sh*t!”
Han Fei suddenly screamed. In just ten seconds, he had consumed a thousand years of vitality. And the phantom of a blood-colored palm extended out of the blood spring, forcibly resisting the Heaven Enlightenment Divine Technique, seeming to try to grab him down.
In the blink of an eye, Han Fei took out the Extreme Cold Pearl and threw it at the bloody hand phantom.
Buzz!
Ka ka ka ~
The blood was frozen, and the blood-colored hand phantom finally shattered.
After the Extreme Cold Pearl was used, Han Fei threw it into the cold road on the jade stone bridge, so it had long recovered.
Han Fei took a long breath of relief after seeing that the Carefree Realm’s blow could already shatter the bloody hand phantom. It seemed that he was not completely defeated. The other party was only a hand after all, and after millions of years of dissipation, although the bloody hand was still very strong, it was at least not as strong as a Monarch-level one.
Just as Han Fei had this thought, he suddenly felt his body sink. He looked down, only to see that a bloody hand was holding his ankle.
Bang!
In the next moment, above the spring of blood, Han Fei disappeared without a trace and was dragged down.
Below the blood spring was infinite blood, mixed with some black mist.
The consciousness of the Emperor Sparrow appeared in Han Fei’s mind. Han Fei unfolded his wings, and a tremendous amount of ominous power surged over.
Because of the ominous power, the God’s Prayer Bead kept erupting, so golden divine light spewed out of the hole under the blood spring. The golden light was intertwined with Blood-colored light and black weapons.
This was probably when the God’s Prayer Bead was shining most brightly. Han Fei saw a broken blood-colored hand grabbing at him.
With a click, an unparalleled light burst out, and the bloody hand suddenly retracted.
Han Fei’s heart did a flip. The God’s Prayer Bead cracked.
“F*ck, how dare you destroy my ultra-quality godly weapon? You’re asking to be killed… Heaven Enlightenment Divine Technique.”
The ten thousand years of vitality was consumed by the Heaven Enlightenment Divine Techniquee, which illuminated this place with a sizzling sound. In the end, the bloody hand was forced back by the pure light.
However, this situation didn’t last long. The ten-thousand-year vitality only lasted for two hours before it was used up.
The Emperor Sparrow said, “Don’t waste your vitality anymore. Let this ominous power pour into your body. I want to use this to break through to the perfected Star Transformation Realm.”
Han Fei was stunned. “I haven’t reached the perfected Star Transformation Realm yet, and you are going to reach it?”
The Emperor Sparrow said, “The perfected Star Transformation Realm, or even the perfected Star Transformation Realm with Great Dao Locks, belongs to the peak-level late-stage Star Transformation Realm. Therefore, I’m not restricted by you at this moment. I’ll be responsible for absorbing the ominous power. You’ll be responsible for stopping that hand.”
Han Fei was shocked. “What? That’s the hand of a Great Monarch.”
Unfortunately, the Emperor Sparrow didn’t respond, but some black fog was surging into Han Fei’s body at all times. Seeing that the corrosion of the ominous power was ineffective, the big hand actually attacked Han Fei.
…
Outside, far away, the Demon Vanquishing Tree looked at the blood spring and couldn’t help but be surprised. “The ominous power has become so weak. Can that human really purify this ominous power?”
