‘If my soul consciousness can’t penetrate, let’s see if my immortal blood can make any difference.’ Leylin thought as he watched a dark red blood, translucent as a gem, immortal blood drop quietly rolled into the crystal lotus throne.
The crystal lotus throne still emitted a vehemently surging energy. After this red blood’s infiltration, the crystal lotus throne suddenly released an evil consciousness, strong enough to submerge and perish all the warriors.
On the crystal lotus throne, hundreds of silver demonic insects roared crazily and flew out.
Warriors who were staying above, all wore frightened faces. Seeing the silver demonic insects rush towards them, they subconsciously moved away from the crystal lotus throne as they felt something was wrong.
A silver demonic insect, as big as a human face, came out from the crystal lotus throne.
The crystal lotus throne revealed a gap. This demonic insect was five or six times bigger than the regular silver demonic insects, and it had beautiful, yet mysterious patterns on the body, as if it had a magical power that could oppress people’s mind.
Seeing that mysterious pattern on the insect’s shell, those warriors who were observing this crystal lotus throne showed panicked eyes.
All kinds of energy beams suddenly interweaved on the crystal lotus throne.
As long as a warrior stared at this pattern for more than ten seconds, they would get crazy instantly and take action against the warriors standing next to him, daringly attacking them.
The biggest silver demonic insect came out from the crystal lotus throne. It had two shiny green oak eyes, as big as soybeans and emitting cold green lights filled with a bloodthirsty feeling.
“King of Demonic Insects! A level eight beast!”
Someone suddenly screamed out loud with frightened eyes, then quickly moved away.
Hearing this ear-splitting cry, faces of warriors around all changed as if they had encountered ghosts. They subconsciously stepped away from the crystal lotus throne.
Seeing the giant insect come out from the crystal lotus throne, the corpse-eating demonic insects that were flying in the sky became crazily bloodthirsty. They seemed to have received more power as the energy absorption rate got faster and faster when biting off and devouring the crowd.
Although the number of warriors in the swamp was significant, none of them had a profound cultivation base greater than the Sky Realm. Meanwhile, the level eight beasts could be comparable to the human Spirit Realm warriors.
When this level eight corpse-eating demonic insect appeared, everyone was panic-stricken and terrified.
King of Demonic Insects was the leader of corpse-eating demonic insects. It had the characteristics of corpse-eating demonic insects as it could absorb all kinds of energy or eat humans, and also had a terrifying spiritual energy.
As soon as this demonic insect appeared, there was a kind of surging spirit on top of the entire swamp, that could explode people’s heads. Under this type of spiritual fluctuation, each warrior’s Sea of Consciousness shook endlessly. Those who had a low cultivation base had their Sea of Consciousness instantly attacked by these fluctuations, causing them to quickly bleed terribly.
When the King of Demonic Insects appeared, no matter the cultivation no one didn’t dare to get closer to the crystal lotus throne. Everyone quickly moved away, as they were afraid of being seen by the King of Demonic Insects.
Those who dared to stay within fifty meters near the crystal lotus throne were getting insane because of being affected by the King of Demonic Insects. Those people had lost their minds, and lingered near the crystal lotus throne to fight against one another.
They didn’t have any consciousness or sense of pain. They kept fighting each other around the crystal lotus throne. Under everyone’s scrutinizing looks, warriors who had lost their mind continuously died in their opponents’ hands in just a short time. Their deaths were extremely miserable.
Their bodies were chopped off, or their limbs were torn down, or the insects chewed them off. Not long afterward, there were no more warriors who were still conscious.
Only one person was standing in the center of the crystal lotus throne. It was Leylin.
On the crystal lotus throne, the insects surprisingly no longer covered him. Unexpectedly, the insects that were surrounding him didn’t rush over him.
Under his feet, there were countless corpse-eating demonic insects, which were not the sort of silver demonic insects. However, these silver demonic insects seemed to be obedient, not dashing forward like earlier.The King of Demonic Insects was in front of him. Its two small, dark green eyes were watching him quietly.
Leylin fearlessly gazed at it, which looked like he was silently exchanging something with the insect.
“Give me one more drop of your blood.”
Leylin looked at it silently with strange eyes, feeling the spirit coming from it. Previously, when the King of Demonic Insects appeared from the crystal lotus throne, it had emitted vehement spiritual fluctuations.
Fortunately, with the Nine Serenities Soul Devouring Flame played its role again at this crucial time. It burned the spirit that jumped into his Sea of Consciousness into ashes, helping him avoid falling into the insanity like the other warriors.
The King of Demonic Insects’ appearance had startled him but he wasn’t scared. He had thought that he would have to fight with all of his might to eradicate this beast. However, looking at the King of Demonic Insects, he sensed a very familiar smell from its body.
That was the scent of his blood.
At that moment, he suddenly realized that this King of Demonic Insects had actually absorbed the drop of immortal blood which had rolled into the crystal lotus throne.
Immediately, the unexpected and interesting things happened.
“What do I get if I give you more?”
“With your blood in my body, I will make you my master. But, you have to give me your blood. This kind of blood can help me continue to evolve and enter a new life.”
“How much?”
“Give me one drop every month.”
“A hefty price but what can you do in return?”
“Everything.”
The King of Demonic Insects roared insanely, and the demonic insects in the sky that were crazily attacking the warriors around all stopped instantly and gathered at his feet, not continuing to attack anymore.
At that instant, Leylin received a soul consciousness from the King of Demonic Insects.
The level eight insects already had wisdom and could use soul power. Although it would not open its mouth to talk, it could use its soul to communicate with others. This King of Demonic Insects was a rare beast.
“What about Life Original Fluid?”
“If you fulfill my demand, the Life Original Fluid will be yours.”
Leylin didn’t ask why King of Demonic Insects had such a strong desire for his blood, he knows that his immortal blood is akin to a superb tonic to demonic beasts. It’s like how humans want the Life Original Fluid, Leylin’s blood also has an irresistible temptation.
On the crystal lotus throne, Leylin and the King of Demonic Insects looked at each other and exchanged their communication through their souls.
Countless insects were flying around the crystal lotus throne, pursuing the other warriors.
At this time, Leylin was in the center of the crystal lotus throne, safe and sound, calmly looking at the King of Demonic Insects while not being attacked by the insects.
The other warriors just stared at the crystal lotus throne and exposed a visage of extreme shock.
No one knew what was going on.
They only knew that this brat dared to enter the crystal lotus throne that was filled with a lot of demonic insects to get the Life Original Fluid, and was still safe and sound over there.
The demonic insects were getting more and more powerful, crazily attacking any warrior who dared to appear in the swamp.
“Will you listen to all of my commands?”
“As long as you fulfill your end of the deal.”
“Fair enough. I would agree with your proposal but just remember that in this relationship I am the master and you are the servant, don’t overstep your boundaries otherwise…” Leylin looked the King of Demonic Insects with a sharp and murderous glit in his eyes. He released his full power to demonstrate that he wasn’t without any other options in case he tried anything silly.
“I understand.”
Leylin contemplated for a while before making his mind up to accept King of Demonic Insects proposal because it didn’t bring him any harm.
“How about the others?”
Looking at the struggling warriors Leylin suddenly revealed a comfortable and calm smile.
“Do as you wish.” Leylin waved his hands, he didn’t care about their lives or death. No matter what the murderer is King of Demonic Insects, so even if anyone has any means to report the killer to the faction behind them Leylin won’t be implicated.
Countless demonic insects suddenly got crazy, overwhelmingly dashing forward and shrouding all of the warriors in the swamp once again.
Only Joseph and his team were safe.
“Someone among those losers told me I was gonna die here.” Leylin mockingly looked the warriors who was surrounded by demonic insects.
The crystal lotus throne rose out of the swamp again. The King of Demonic Insects screeched loudly on the crystal lotus throne while a lot of demon insects rushed over the warriors in the swamp.
Leylin was standing above the swamp, coldly watching the warriors who had shown off their strength earlier being wrapped by the demonic insects.
“I suddenly miss Ghost Hunter… With King of Demonic Insects and Ghost Hunter at my side, things would be quite convenient.”
As the number of the demonic insects was tens of thousands, and the swamp was their territory, these warriors had no strength to fight back this slaughter.
Under the erosion by the insects, the warriors’ defensive halos and secret treasures were all chewed off completely. The demonic insects then drilled into those warriors’ bodies, ate their brain and killed them in the end.
The King of Demonic Insects on the crystal lotus throne slowly moved towards Leylin, looking at him with longing eyes.
Amidst a loud scream, the demonic insects crazily submerged all of the warriors, starting the bloody slaughter.
Except for Joseph’s team who were frozen, the other warriors were all attacked and killed.
Whenever a warrior died, Leylin would absorb that warrior’s scattering aura into his acupuncture points.
There were more than thirty warriors, most of whom were at the Sky Realm. So, their auras weren’t so bad.
The corpses shriveled and slowly sank into the swamp, coming back to float on the swamp again not long after that. The demonic insects continued to erode those dead bodies and soon turned them into skeletons. It was an extremely miserable fate indeed.
“Remove the barrier.” Leylin looked at the King of Demonic Insects on the crystal lotus throne.
Bang.
An explosive sound echoed from the entrance. The blood red smog hovering around the entrance dissipated quietly.
“You stay here.”
Leylin walked towards Joseph and his groupmates, while his body emitted a fiery flame.
Under the scorching heat, the ice rock around them others gradually melted. Their bodies were exposed little by little.
Joseph’s eyes were in a daze. When the heat power came close, the Purgatory True Flame on his body automatically released the defensive fire net.
On the crystal lotus throne, there was no loger any vibrations that could agitate people. When the Earth Flame came close, he suddenly woke up, and his eyes brightened.
“What happened?” Seeing dead warriors floating in the swamp, Joseph wore a frightened face and asked, “What happened in the swamp after all? Why did those people become like that? Only you are alive?”
Leylin nodded.
“Did you get it?”
“No.”
Joseph revealed sad eyes and wryly smiled. “I see…. I came here with the hope that I could get one drop of the Life Original Fluid. However, as my cultivation base is low, not reaching the Sky Realm yet, I lost my mind in this place.”
Joseph looked at his teammates, contemplated for a while before saying, “Berkan, I want to tell you something in private.”
“Okay.”
Joseph looking at Leylin revealed a hesitant face.
At the entrance, there wasn’t any barrier indeed. Joseph teammates went through it, flying up to the island.
In the swamp, there were only Joseph and Leylin.
“Did you really not get the Life Original Fluid?” Looking at the crystal lotus throne below, Joseph asked with a longing face.
Leylin looked at him with a smiling expression.
“Can you give me one drop? I just need one drop.” Joseph suddenly got begged.
Leylin still didn’t say anything.
“I know the Life Original Fluid is very precious. I know how much value this kind of liquid has to even Spirit Realm warriors.” Joseph was stirred up. “I can exchange it for something. As long as you tell me what you need, I will find it for you. No matter what, I will absolutely find it. I just want one drop of the Life Original Fluid.”
After a long while, Leylin asked , “Is this for your master? You are very filial if so.”
Joseph was stunned but afterwards he let out a sigh and reluctantly said, “My master has been stuck at the Third Sky of Spirit Realm for a long time. He is an Alchemist, and has spent all of his life in refinement. He’s so close to the True God Realm, but he isn’t sure he can enter it. I’m afraid he will be depressed. That’s why I’m asking a drop of the Life Original Fluid for him.”
Joseph shook his head and continued. “I’m the abandoned disciple of the Spirit Treasure Sect, and was almost taken to feed the beasts. If my master didn’t accept me, I should have died already. I don’t want to see him stay in this realm forever. I know that entering the True God Realm is the wish of his life. I just want to help him and repay him for those years of teaching me.”
Leylin seemed to be not affected by his touching story.
“Please,” Joseph begged him, “I know that I cannot get any valuable things now, but I promise you that if you need anything later, I will do my best for you. You can say your request now, and I will certainly keep it in my heart and fulfill it later.”
“Let’s say, if I really have it what benefits can you give me?”
