251: Haotian Mirror and Remaining Consciousness

"As long as the Sea of Blood does not perish, the Blood Demon does not die... Hehehe..."

Blood Demon Ding Yin, who was caught in the palm of the Dharma Manifestation, suddenly sneered, "Monk, even if your magic power reaches the heavens, you will never be able to catch me!"

Bang!

The Blood Demon's body exploded into a cloud of dust, and in the end, not even a scrap was left behind.

At this moment, Tang Ku had just flown out of the Sea of Blood, which left him momentarily stunned, and then he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "I was careless. Although Buddha Power can make him have nowhere to hide, it cannot stop him from detonating himself..."

That's right, the Blood Demon had directly detonated his own body. Although he felt temporary pain, he could continue to survive because of the existence of the Sea of Blood.

The bloody waves surged, and for a moment, Tang Ku was at a loss.

"If I don't completely destroy this Sea of Blood, this guy will just revive endlessly. This kind of near-immortal ability is really quite cheap!"

Rubbing his forehead, Tang Ku withdrew his Dharma Manifestation and sat on a nearby rock, saying with a headache,

"But this Sea of Blood is too big. Although it's not as vast as the real ocean, it's not easy to completely destroy it... This is going to be difficult!"

The Blood Demon's magic power was actually nothing much. Although he had many bizarre attack methods, they couldn't hurt him. The only troublesome thing was his ability to revive infinitely. To put it simply, being able to survive is an asset. He could completely rely on the Sea of Blood to hide himself and Cultivate, and over time, accumulate his power bit by bit and become stronger.

Simply put, he who survives until the end is the king; this was the Blood Demon's current strategy.

"If I use centrifugal force again, I'm afraid my power will be exhausted before all the seawater separates into platelets..."

Looking at his palm, Tang Ku muttered to himself, "Hmm, the previous round of attacks has already raised my Iron Fist Points to over 10? This... should I try pushing one of my physical stats to 40? What if I could draw a powerful skill..."

While he was hesitating, bubbles started to bubble up from a spot on the Sea of Blood very close to Tang Ku.

Tang Ku shifted his gaze and discovered that a layer of faint blood mist had risen at that location, and in the blink of an eye, it had transformed into a human shape.

"Blood Demon? No, it's not..."

Tang Ku was slightly taken aback. The figure before him appeared aged, with a long beard and hair tied in a bun, clearly in the appearance of a Daoist.

Tang Ku looked at his long eyebrows and suddenly remembered someone, blurting out, "Baimei?"

The figure actually nodded and then made a very strange gesture.

He used his right hand to make a circle, then pointed downwards with his left, seemingly trying to tell Tang Ku something. However, he was currently in a flickering mist state and couldn't even make a sound, so for a moment, Tang Ku didn't understand what he meant.

"Hmm, weren't you already absorbed by the Blood Demon? That's how Ding Yin regained consciousness..."

The figure was clearly stunned, then continued to make the same gesture, which left Tang Ku feeling extremely puzzled.

"A trap? Hmm, probably not. Ding Yin is very smart; he wouldn't use such an obvious method to lure me down into the Sea of Blood... That means there is something at the bottom of this sea related to the Blood Demon?"

Tang Ku muttered to himself, but it seemed to be heard by the other party, who nodded again, then made the circle gesture again, and pointed downwards.

"That's it... There must be something at the bottom of this Sea of Blood that might be of some help to me..."

After thinking for a moment, Tang Ku couldn't help but say, "Can you take me down to find the thing you're talking about?"

The figure, suspected to be Baimei, nodded and then turned into a ball of blood, sinking into the Sea of Blood.

Splash!

Tang Ku did not hesitate and dove headfirst into the Sea of Blood again. Strangely, the blood ball did not dissipate in the Sea of Blood; it did not merge with the sea but became a separate entity, leading Tang Ku as he began to sink downwards.

The direction and angle they were traveling were towards the bottom of the Sea of Blood. The two sank deeper and deeper, and according to the units of measurement Tang Ku knew, they had already descended over 3000 meters.

It was almost impossible to see in the darkness, but the blood ball emitted a faint light. Although it couldn't reach far, it was just enough to illuminate the path forward, and under its illumination, the Sea of Blood seemed to become translucent.

With the Void Eye assisting, Tang Ku followed it to the deepest part of the Sea of Blood with almost no effort. Strangely, there was no sign of rejection within the Sea of Blood, as if the Blood Demon had disappeared without a trace.

Tang Ku was bold due to his high level of skill. If it were someone else, no matter how brave they were, they would inevitably feel uneasy and suspicious in such an environment.

But Tang Ku did not. He silently recited the Many Hearts Sutra in his heart, immersing his mind, and gradually arrived at the bottom of the Sea of Blood.

Just like an ordinary ocean, the bottom of this Sea of Blood was also covered with sand and stones. The blood ball paused for a moment on the seabed, then quickly moved in one direction. Tang Ku followed closely behind. Before they had gone far, the blood ball stopped, turned back into the appearance of Baimei, hovered in front of Tang Ku, and pointed downwards again.

Tang Ku looked in the direction his finger was pointing and saw an ancient bronze mirror embedded on the seabed, with its face pointing upwards, emitting a faint light like moonlight, although this light appeared very dim and seemed to be mixed with a trace of blood color.

"This is... the Haotian Mirror?"

Tang Ku vaguely guessed something, but saw Baimei on the opposite side nod, then dive headfirst into the mirror and disappear without a trace.

"Hmm? What does he mean? Does he want me to take the Haotian Mirror? Is this Baimei's remnant soul? Hmm, probably not. He was originally transformed from the Blood Demon's good corpse, so he shouldn't have a complete soul. Then this must be his residual consciousness... Hehe, since the Haotian Mirror is a Magic Treasure, let me try injecting some energy into it..."

Tang Ku walked forward, placed his hand on the Haotian Mirror, and injected a trace of Buddha Power into it.

"Hum!"

A ripple instantly spread from the Haotian Mirror, and immediately afterwards, like a bubble, it instantly repelled the Sea of Blood around Tang Ku, leaving a space of more than a dozen cubic meters.

The light on the Haotian Mirror became somewhat blinding, the blood color was completely cleared, and then a phantom of an old man with white eyebrows and a white beard instantly appeared, bowing to Tang Ku: "Holy Monk, I am a trace of residual consciousness of the former Shu Mountain Sect Leader, Immortal Master Baimei. I invited you here today to tell you the method to completely destroy the Blood Demon..."
