133: Blood Sea Secret Realm, Origin Blood

With one step forward, the world spun.

When Chu He could see his surroundings clearly again, he was already in a completely different world.

There was no sky and no earth; as far as the eye could see, there was only a vast, boundless crimson ocean.

The seawater was thick like pulp, emitting a dense scent of blood and pure energy.

On the surface of the sea, islands made of crimson crystals floated, with strange blood-colored plants growing upon them.

The entire world was tinged with an eerie dark red hue.

This was the Blood Sea Secret Realm.

"The energy concentration is decent, but unfortunately, it's useless to me."

Chu He sensed the free-floating energy in the air and shook his head.

This Blood Fiend Power was a great supplement for Demonic Cultivators, but for him, who cultivated the Nine Revolutions Tyrant Dragon Art, it seemed a bit impure.

His Divine Sense, like an invisible tide, instantly covered the entire Secret Realm.

The space within the Secret Realm was immense, almost equivalent to a Small World.

In his Divine Sense perception, the righteous and Demonic Cultivators who had entered earlier were now scattered everywhere, fighting fiercely and killing each other for resources like "Blood Spirit Grass" and "Blood Crystals" on the islands.

Meanwhile, the six powerhouses of the Void Refining Realm had a clear objective and were flying toward the deepest part of the Secret Realm.

Chu He had no interest in those low-level resources.

His gaze pierced through the viscous blood sea, looking toward the depths of the seabed ten thousand feet below.

There, he felt an extremely powerful and ancient heartbeat.

"Thump... Thump... Thump..."

Every beat caused the entire blood sea to tremble, stirring up monstrous waves.

A strand of extremely pure Origin power was continuously radiating from the source of that heartbeat, maintaining the operation of the entire Secret Realm.

"Found it, the heart of blood source."

A sharp light flashed in Chu He's eyes.

That was the core treasure of this Secret Realm and his ultimate goal for this trip—the origin of blood!

As long as he could refine that thing, his Physical Body strength would surely reach a new level, and by then, his confidence in overcoming the Tenfold Heavenly Tribulation would be even greater.

His figure instantly vanished from the spot, piercing directly through the blood sea and diving toward the depths of the seabed.

The further down he went, the greater the pressure of the blood sea became, and the stronger the corrosive force within it.

If an ordinary Soul Transformation Cultivator came here, their protective light would likely be instantly corroded, and their Physical Body would dissolve.

But Chu He moved as if on level ground; that terrifying pressure and corrosive force couldn't even leave a single white mark on him.

His Physical Body had long been tempered to be immune to all techniques.

Meanwhile, deep within the Secret Realm.

The six Void Refining powerhouses from both the righteous and demonic paths had also approached the area where the "heart of blood source" was located.

They hovered above the blood sea, looking down with solemn expressions.

"Such a powerful heartbeat; it seems the rumors are true. This Blood Sea Secret Realm was truly formed from the heart of an Ancient God-Fiend!" the Sect Leader of the Shenxiao Gate, that majestic middle-aged man, said in a deep voice.

"Who cares what it was formed from," the Sect Master of the Blood Fiend Sect, the mysterious figure shrouded in blood-red robes, laughed hoarsely, "as long as we can obtain the 'origin of blood' within, never mind unifying the Lingxuan Realm, even Ascension to the Immortal Realm will be just around the corner!"

"Hmph, easier said than done." The Sect Master of the Taixu Sword Sect snorted coldly. "There must be powerful Guardian Beasts around the heart of blood source. Moreover, with the six of us here, who will obtain the Origin is still unknown."

Although the six of them had a temporary ceasefire, their wariness of each other hadn't relaxed in the slightest.

Everyone knew that once the "origin of blood" appeared, a life-and-death battle would be inevitable.

While they were plotting against each other, a figure had already silently reached the destination deep within the seabed.

This was the very bottom of the blood sea, a massive underwater basin.

In the center of the basin, a massive heart that defied description was slowly beating.

It was as large as a mountain, its surface covered in ancient and profound blood-colored patterns. Every contraction and expansion released a massive amount of Origin power, merging into the blood sea.

Around this giant heart, dozens of blood-colored giant beasts of various forms were coiled.

These giant beasts were Guardian Beasts born from the Origin power of the blood sea. Each one's strength was comparable to a Soul Transformation Stage powerhouse from the outside world, and the strongest few had even reached the Early Stage Void Refining Realm.

However, when Chu He's figure appeared there, those Guardian Beasts, which originally had fierce auras, were like encountering a natural enemy; they all prostrated themselves on the ground, trembling uncontrollably, not even daring to lift their heads.

The Bloodline suppression from the Ancient Dragon God was a fear etched deep into the Souls of all living beings.

Chu He ignored these little fellows.

His gaze was entirely drawn to the massive "heart of blood source."

"Good stuff, truly good stuff!"

He could clearly feel the Primordial Dragon God Bloodline within his body pulsing with waves of longing.

The Origin power contained in this heart was, for him, simply the most perfect supplement in the world!

He took a step forward, preparing to act and refine the entire heart.

Suddenly, he raised an eyebrow and looked up.

Six powerful auras were approaching this place at extremely high speeds.

"Just in time; it saves me the trouble of looking for them one by one."

A playful smile appeared at the corner of Chu He's mouth. Instead of hiding, he stood there with his hands behind his back, waiting quietly.

A moment later.

*Splash!*

Six figures broke through the water and descended into this underwater basin.

It was precisely those six Void Refining powerhouses from the righteous and demonic paths.

When they saw the massive heart in the center of the basin, an incredibly greedy and burning light instantly erupted in everyone's eyes.

"The heart of blood source! It really is the heart of blood source!"

"We've struck it rich! This time we've truly struck it rich!"

However, their ecstasy did not last long.

Because they soon discovered the green-robed figure standing in front of the heart, looking somewhat out of place.

The pupils of the six people shrank simultaneously.

"Who is it?!"

"Who are you? Why are you here?!"

The Sect Master of the Taixu Sword Sect's eyes narrowed even further as he stared fixedly at Chu He, a sharp Sword Intent locking onto him.

They couldn't understand how this seemingly ordinary young man had silently bypassed their blockade and arrived here a step ahead of them.

Moreover, why were those powerful Guardian Beasts bowing down to him?

Countless questions flooded their minds.

Chu He turned around and looked at them calmly, speaking indifferently:

"Me? Just a passing traveler."

"As for why I'm here..."

He paused, a natural smile appearing on his face.

"Naturally, I'm here to take what belongs to me."
