106: Detonate, kill the Holy Son, and condense the Dao Seed.

At this moment, the Saint felt his entire body's blood qi freeze; his body even felt as heavy as a thousand catties.

"Oh my, my dear Saint..." Jiang Yan feigned shock, approaching the Saint with mincing steps. His affected and coy posture was so disgusting that he almost made himself sick. "What's wrong? Does this girl need to take a look for you?"

"Lü Yue, what on earth are you doing?" The Saint bore the heavy pressure, gritting his teeth in fury. "You vile slave, release me this instant!"

"Don't be in such a hurry." Jiang Yan reached out with his right hand and snatched the two Storage Pouches from the Saint's waist. "Oh my, there certainly are quite a lot of good things here."

Sensing that something was wrong, the Saint quickly asked, "Lü Yue, what exactly are you trying to do?"

"My dear Saint, haven't you realized it yet?" Jiang Yan looked at the Saint with a smile.

The Saint was even more bewildered now. Aside from noticing that Lü Yue was acting strange, was there something else?

Jiang Yan began to count on his fingers, one by one, in front of the Saint.

"Five!"

"Four!"

"Three!"

"Two!"

"One!"

The moment Jiang Yan's voice fell, the entire earth veins of the Blood Cloud Sect suddenly trembled. This was immediately followed by a massive explosion.

Feeling the Blood Cloud Sect's grand array being triggered, the Saint's expression froze. There was only one reason the grand array would be triggered: someone was attacking the Blood Cloud Sect!

"Lü Yue! Who on earth are you?" the Saint roared in anger.

"I am someone you can never afford to provoke!" Jiang Yan gave a cold laugh and quickly began forming hand seals.

The moment he finished the seals, the entire Blood Cloud Sect was engulfed in a towering sea of fire.

Immediately after, the System notification boxes began popping up frantically!

..."You, you... what exactly have you done?" the Saint asked in shock.

At this moment, he could feel the explosions on the ground surging wildly within the sea of fire.

"I'm sorry, but you won't be around to see it!" Jiang Yan said as a longsword instantly appeared in his right hand.

"Wretched wench, how dare you slay your master! Don't forget, I was the one who gave you everything!" the Saint shouted in fury.

A smile played on Jiang Yan's lips. He lightly tapped his face with a bit of Spiritual Qi using his left hand, and his appearance instantly reverted to that of Su Chen.

"You... you're Su Chen!" The Saint was stunned; he couldn't believe the person before him was actually Su Chen.

"Correct answer! Here are two big steamed buns as a reward," Jiang Yan said as he pulled out the two large steamed buns from his chest and hung them around the Saint's neck.

Seeing this, the Saint gritted his teeth. He had guarded against a thousand things, but he had failed to guard against Su Chen. He deeply regretted not getting rid of Su Chen sooner!

After all, Su Chen had always given him an unsettling feeling, like a venomous snake hidden in the darkness.

"Alright, time's about up. I should send you on your way now!"

As Jiang Yan's voice fell, the longsword, like a stroke of moonlight, slashed directly across the Saint's neck... *Squelch!*

The Saint's head flew high into the air, and the blood from his neck cavity sprayed across the ground like a high-pressure water gun.

[Plundered Ren Chuantian's High-tier Martial Skill: Tyrant Heaven Style]

Seeing that he had plundered so many things at once, Jiang Yan was incredibly excited.

'Wow, no wonder this guy wanted soul seizing; he was proficient in both spear and sword.'

'Not bad, I even got a scriptural Martial Skill.'

Jiang Yan was also very satisfied with Ren Chuantian's two Storage Pouches. They were filled with all sorts of Medicinal Pills and treasures. To put it bluntly, this guy's pouches were a hundred times larger than Jiang Yan's!

One had to know that his current Storage Pouch was a blue, fifty-cubic-meter one, which could already hold a lot of things.

Yet compared to Ren Chuantian's, his was nothing but a joke.

Jiang Yan found the Soul Restraining Stone, but he didn't dare use it carelessly. After all, he really didn't know how to use it. He decided to wait until he returned to the Qingyun Sect and let Li Yi try it out.

"Su Qingyan, I need to take you away. Are you willing?" Jiang Yan asked.

"Where to?" Su Qingyan asked back.

"To help you find yourself again," Jiang Yan said seriously.

"Okay." After Su Qingyan spoke, she stood up.

Seeing Su Qingyan being so cooperative, Jiang Yan quickly pressed her back down. "No rush. I need to refine some things first. Wait for me."

"Alright," Su Qingyan replied.

Jiang Yan did not hesitate and sat down decisively on the central altar.

As for the battle on the ground between Heartless and those powerful experts, it wasn't something he could participate in. After all, he had given Heartless quite a few high-level Talismans.

He wanted to condense his dao seed in the Blood Abyss. He had to Cultivate his own Great Dao before his Core Formation; only with a true Great Dao could he achieve Immortal Status!

After laying out the blood sword talisman, Spiritual Milk Liquid, Hundred Gold Flower, Profound Spirit Mirror, Vajra Jade, and other items, he began to condense his own dao seed.

Jiang Yan sat cross-legged in the center of the blood-colored altar, surrounded by eighteen spiritual items of heaven and earth.

He formed hand seals as the Qi Blood Fiend Source Scripture and Blood Coagulation Qi Refining Method operated frantically within him. The Blood Fiend Bead at his Dantian began to vibrate violently.

"Condense!!"

The blood sword talisman exploded first, turning into thousands of blood-colored runes that entered his seven orifices. The Spiritual Milk Liquid boiled automatically, forming nine strands of milky white mist that wrapped around his body. The petals of the Hundred Gold Flower peeled away layer by layer, forming a golden canopy above his head. Most miraculous of all was the Profound Spirit Mirror, whose surface actually reflected the shadows of Jiang Yan's Three Ethereal Souls and Seven Corporeal Spirits!

*Crack!*

The Vajra Jade suddenly split open, and the jade marrow that surged out outlined an Innate Eight Trigrams Array Diagram on the ground. Three streaks of blood light shot out from Jiang Yan's crown, weaving together above the array diagram into a blood-colored dao seed prototype. At this moment, blood was seeping from every pore of his body, yet he wore a look of wild joy. This was the true path of attaining the Dao through blood!

Suddenly, the Blood Abyss beneath the altar began to boil.

Countless resentful souls shrieked as they tried to cling to the dao seed, only to be burned into blue smoke by the mist of the Spiritual Milk Liquid.

Jiang Yan gave a cold laugh and formed a seal. That blue smoke was actually forcibly condensed into a chain, firmly locking down the restless dao seed!

"It's still not enough..."

He suddenly slapped his own crown, and his Natal Essence Blood gushed out, writing a Forbidden Curse unique to him on the surface of the dao seed.

He had researched this Forbidden Curse himself; it contained both simplified characters and English letters. If any old cultivation monster saw this, they would likely give up on trying to snatch his dao seed immediately. After all, this kind of Forbidden Curse was simply not something a Cultivator could come up with.

As the entire Blood Abyss began to tremble, it was as if some existence had been provoked... Jiang Yan didn't care about any of that; he wanted to use the momentum of the Blood Abyss to complete the reinforcement of his dao seed.

While Jiang Yan was raiding his base, Elder Tie, who was clashing with Heartless in the sky above the Blood Cloud Sect, was stunned. He could clearly feel that the aura of the Blood Abyss was disappearing at an extremely rapid rate.

"Could it be that the Saint has succeeded?"

Elder Tie didn't suspect for a second that someone was raiding his base. In his heart, the Saint was the future of the Blood Fiend Sect.

But just as he was pressing Heartless, the jade Talisman at his waist suddenly lit up.

"Tie Cangmu! What have you done? Why is my son dead?"

Tie Cangmu's expression was one of disbelief. He felt it was impossible. The Saint was clearly cultivating in the Blood Abyss; how could he possibly be dead?

But hearing the voice from the Voice Transmission Jade Talisman sounded extremely furious, Tie Cangmu swept his Divine Sense toward the Blood Soul Hall. In the next moment, his face turned deathly pale.

Before he could even fully process it, an Elder shouted, "Sect Master... Something terrible has happened! The Blood Abyss... the Blood Abyss is depleting!"

"Ah... Who on earth is it!"
