274: The Little Snake and the Stone Man

The others slowly recovered; each of them was wounded, their faces pale, and they all showed expressions of lingering fear.

No one mentioned what had just happened. They all stayed far away from that great Formation, silently licking their wounds!

"Boom, boom..."

Just then, a violent sound came from the sky, like a clap of thunder.

Everyone looked up at the sky, their eyes filled with hope.

From within the Blood-red Demonic Eye, six red beams of light descended from the sky, landing directly on the six Demonic Creatures of the Formation below.

As these six red beams of light fell, the six Demonic Creatures seemed to come to life, and a massive devouring force emerged.

Each Demonic Creature began to continuously absorb the red beams of light.

The Blood-red Demonic Eye began to shrink; its existence seemed to be solely for the purpose of condensing these six beams of light.

In less than the time it takes for half an incense stick to burn, the Blood-red Demonic Eye completely dissipated, but a terrifying light emerged from the six Demonic Creatures.

Just then, special red and black beams of light shot out from the six Demonic Creatures toward six different directions.

Wherever the red and black beams passed, whether they were mountain peaks or anything else, everything was destroyed.

"Boom!"

It was as if an earthquake had struck the Land of Heavenly Loss. Six special Light Gates appeared in the six directions where the red and black beams had shot.

These six Light Gates appeared in six different locations within the Land of Heavenly Loss.

Above the Light Gates, a massive Blood Pool manifested.

"The Blood Pool Passage! This is the Blood Pool Passage!"

Someone shouted in surprise, and then with a look of wild joy in their eyes, they dashed toward the passage closest to them.

"Haha, the Blood Pool that has been buried for countless years is finally about to appear."

An old man's face was filled with excitement. His Lifespan was nearly exhausted, and the Blood Pool was a Heaven-Defying opportunity for him to change his fate!

Within the Land of Heavenly Loss, figures lunged toward the Blood Pool Passages, their eyes filled with madness.

Gu Qieyong, Wang Zishun, and the others were slightly stunned. Seeing that the nearest Blood Pool Passage was still over two hundred miles away, they hurriedly rushed toward it.

In just a moment, only Ji Wuchang was left here.

Ji Wuchang was just about to use Shrinking Ground to an Inch to head for the nearest Blood Pool Passage, but at that moment, a special change occurred at the great Formation.

The character for 'Blood' in the center of the Formation slowly floated up, and a passage emerged, leading to an unknown destination.

This passage was different from those six; it was much more ordinary, with no Blood Pool manifesting inside, looking just like a normal passage.

Ji Wuchang frowned at the sight, a look of hesitation appearing on his face.

Just then, the 'Blood' character that had just floated up began to slowly descend, as if to seal the passage again.

Ji Wuchang gritted his teeth. Without time for further thought, he immediately activated Shrinking Ground to an Inch, his body turning into a wisp of green smoke that vanished into the passage.

Just as his figure disappeared, the 'Blood' character landed, and the passage vanished.

At the same time, the entire Formation shook violently. The six Demonic Creatures exploded one after another, and cracks appeared on the 'Blood' character as well.

With a loud "Boom," the entire Formation exploded, turning into endless dust.

Ji Wuchang knew nothing of what was happening outside; he felt as if he had entered a blood-colored world.

Everything he saw was bright red. Aside from red, there seemed to be no other colors here!

Ji Wuchang's whole body was tense. While communicating with Yaoyao, his Divine Soul constantly scanned the surroundings.

He walked forward slowly, holding six small swords in his hands!

He found that for dealing with sudden situations, the small swords were more useful than a longsword.

After walking for a while, he realized that this place was actually a passage.

At that moment, he stopped in his tracks, staring intently ahead with a look of wariness.

A massive skeleton blocked the way ahead, taking up nearly four-fifths of the entire passage.

A small sword shot out from his hand, heading straight for the massive skeleton.

With a "thud," the skeleton collapsed, scattering into a pile of bone fragments!

Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, several streaks of red light shot toward him. They were as fast as lightning, arriving in front of him in an instant.

Ji Wuchang's body blurred and dissipated; the red lights passed through his phantom image.

Just then, several beams of light flew out, directly piercing through the red lights. Those were the small swords in Ji Wuchang's hands.

The streaks of red light were sliced in two, revealing their true forms—they were actually five small red snakes.

Although they had been cut in two, the five small snakes were not dead. The segments attached to the heads still flew up and lunged at Ji Wuchang, their speed remaining extremely fast!

Ji Wuchang was quite surprised; these small snakes had actually reached the standard of a Rank 3 Vicious Beast!

"Autumn Wind Kill!"

Ji Wuchang's expression was cold. He raised a small sword and directly slashed out five sword lights, grinding the five small snakes into pieces.

Although they hadn't caused him any harm, Ji Wuchang's expression remained very serious. The speed of these small snakes was terrifying.

He examined the snakes and saw that they were all highly venomous. If one were bitten, it would be truly unpleasant!

He put away all the small swords and continued forward slowly with a solemn expression.

He was uncertain; he didn't know how this passage differed from the other six, and he was the only one in this passage.

However, Ji Wuchang could feel the Jade Token in his robe getting hotter and hotter, which meant his Senior Sister Yu Ling was getting closer and closer to him.

After passing the massive skeleton, the passage ended, and a Secret Chamber appeared before him. Inside the Secret Chamber, a Stone Man stood quietly!

Behind the Stone Man was a Stone Door. Clearly, if he wanted to pass, this Stone Man was his trial.

He studied the Stone Man carefully and then took on a solemn expression. He was shocked to find that this Stone Man was actually an Immortal Master, not a real Stone Man.

It was just that his Primordial Spirit had been extracted, leaving only a Physical Body that had been refined into a Stone Man Puppet and placed here!

Just then, the Stone Man opened its eyes. They were completely blood-red, and a terrifying aura rose from its body.

Ji Wuchang looked solemn. He clenched his right fist, and flames rose from it.

"Great Sun Divine Fist!"

Ji Wuchang shouted, throwing his right fist straight at the Stone Man's head.

As his fist struck out, flames condensed, forming the silhouette of a great sun that fused with his right fist, slamming heavily into the Stone Man's head.

With a "bang," a violent force traveled from his right hand. Ji Wuchang retreated several steps, and one of the Stone Man's eyes had been blasted out by his strike.

Just then, the Stone Man lunged at Ji Wuchang, a terrifying aura permeating the air.

This aura had actually reached the ninth level of the Soul Splitting Realm.

Ji Wuchang immediately used Spirit Snake Step to dodge the Stone Man's strike, then continued to use Great Sun Divine Fist to strike at the opponent's head.
