We're practicing all martial arts, so why did you switch to easy mode?

As soon as the battle ended, everyone's attention turned to the Pure Yang Pool.

After all, the Pure Yang Pool has been open for some time now, and if it is delayed any longer, there may not even be any trace left.

Those vying for the Pure Yang Pool will not leave them even a trace of anything out of kindness.

So when Xiang Cheng saw that Yun Xi was alright, he simply greeted her and then led everyone to Chunyang Pool.

Watching everyone leave, Yun Xi didn't say much, but looked at Su Chen and asked, "Why aren't you going?"

Su Chen released her, his brows furrowed, and gazed at Demon Cave Mountain. Even though it was far away, he could almost see the tragic scene there.

The sounds of battle, like rays of light, spread out and reached Su Chen and Yun Xi's ears.

Su Chen shook his head: "I have a feeling of unease."

Having journeyed from the Great Qian Dynasty to the present, Su Chen trusts his intuition. He has repeatedly relied on his intuition to minimize losses when facing calamities.

This moment is no exception.

After Xiangcheng left, he also wanted to go to Demon Cave Mountain, but he was not blinded by the Pure Yang Pool. Instead, he pondered why he felt uneasy. Moreover, this unease became stronger the closer he got to Demon Cave Mountain.

In addition, even the Heaven-Slaying Blade reminded him: "Su Chen, something is wrong with the Pure Yang Pool. The Demon Cave is a land of demons, and the demonic power cultivated there is all Yin-type Yuan Power, with very little Pure Yang Power. How could such a spiritual pool as the Pure Yang Pool be born?"

"Are you planning to go take a look?" Su Chen turned to Yun Xi and asked.

Yunxi is in a very bad state right now. Even if she goes to Demon Cave Mountain, she may not be able to seize anything, and may even die as a result.

After all, while the major sects may not openly engage in combat, it is highly likely that they will sabotage each other in secret.

Killing Yun Xi would cause the Ziyang Sect to lose a prodigy, which would be considered an extremely worthwhile deal by anyone.

"Look at that group of golden monkey kings down there!" Yunxi was about to answer when she suddenly noticed the golden monkey demons' riot and found it rather strange.

It's not surprising that the golden monkey demons rioted; after all, after the death of the golden monkey king, these monkey demons had long since scattered like monkeys fleeing a fallen tree.

Neither Su Chen nor Xiang Cheng and the others paid any attention to it.

Strangely, their riot was not about fleeing deeper into the mountains and forests, but rather about fleeing out of the mountains and forests altogether.

The direction they fled in was completely opposite to that of Demon Cave Mountain.

Yunxi also noticed that each monkey demon had a look of panic on its face, and was running away for its life.

Su Chen noticed it too, and with a grab of his hand, he directly seized a monkey demon that looked like the leader.

"No, don't kill me!"

The monkey demon recognized Su Chen and begged for mercy after being captured by him.

Yunxi asked, "Why did you run away?"

"This..." The monkey demon hesitated.

But before he could hesitate for long, he felt the cold glint in Su Chen's eyes, so he stammered, "This place is about to be destroyed, if we don't run now it will be too late!"

"Destruction?" Yun Xi's face darkened.

The monkey demon nodded like a chick: "Yes, our Monkey King was originally planning to lead us away from this place, but we didn't expect to run into you and be killed by you. With the Monkey King dead, we can only worry about escaping on our own."

"Who wants to destroy this place?" Su Chen asked.

The monkey demon shook his head: "I don't know about that. In short, our Monkey King is very afraid. It seems that something terrible is about to be born, and it's not just us who are running away, but other demons as well."

Upon hearing this, Su Chen and Yun Xi exchanged a glance, both looking puzzled.

Recalling the previous demon tide, the two immediately sensed the impending conspiracy.

Without making things difficult for the monkey demon, Su Chen let it go, guessing, "It should be related to the Pure Yang Pool!"

Yunxi had the same thought.

"So what do we do now?" This time, she took the initiative to ask Su Chen.

Even she herself didn't realize that she had unconsciously come to regard Su Chen as her pillar of support.

Su Chen thought for a moment and said, "Let's go straight to Demon Cave Mountain."

"Ah, why is that?" Yunxi thought Su Chen would run away, after all, there were several times before when the other party abandoned her and left. Unexpectedly, this time Su Chen took the initiative to mention that he wanted to go to Chunyang Pool to inform her.

Su Chen naturally knew what Yun Xi was thinking. He didn't explain, but instead looked behind him.

Only then did Yunxi notice the overwhelming sound coming from behind, and exclaimed in alarm, "A demonic tide!"

This is why Su Chen went to the Pure Yang Pool.

The entire Demon Cave Mountain was already surrounded by the demon tide, and he and Yunxi alone had no chance of escaping.

Moreover, Yunxi is currently seriously injured, which will undoubtedly increase his burden.

It would be better to go directly to the Pure Yang Pool, without going deep inside, but to hide in the shadows and see what happens.

Even if the demon tide besieges Demon Cave Mountain, the presence of disciples from other sects will alleviate the pressure on him.

“You’re right, let’s go to Demon Cave Mountain!” After only half a second of hesitation, Yun Xi agreed with Su Chen’s idea.

There was no other way; the number of demons was too great. The only option for now was to head to Demon Cave Mountain to reunite with the others.

Unlike Su Chen's idea, she went to Demon Cave Mountain to inform Xiang Cheng and the others.

Otherwise, when the demon tide arrives and they are still fighting over the Pure Yang Pool, they may not have the strength to resist the demon tide.

After making their decision, the two headed to Demon Cave Mountain.

Due to the urgency of the situation, Yunxi had no choice but to take pills and regulate her breathing at the same time, but even doing so, her recovery was still very slow.

This indirectly affected her flight speed, and before she knew it, she had fallen far behind Su Chen.

In contrast, Su Chen showed no intention of stopping to wait for her.

Watching Su Chen's swiftly flying figure, Yun Xi couldn't help but purse her lips: "This guy really doesn't know how to be gentle with women. Couldn't he have slowed down a bit?"

Gritting her teeth, Yunxi could only slightly increase her speed.

Suddenly, she felt a gentle force entering her body, helping her to regulate her meridians and recover from her injuries.

Looking up, the person who made the move was none other than Su Chen.

Unbeknownst to them, Su Chen had already returned and poured his Primordial Chaos Power into Yun Xi's body to help her recover from her injuries.

"What kind of elemental power is this? It has the principles of mutual generation and restraint of the five elements, as well as the power of demons, the power of ghosts, and even the power of thunder. It's simply unbelievable!"

Even Yun Xi was shocked to sense Su Chen's Yuan Power. She had never seen anyone's Yuan Power contain so many attributes. Although these Yuan Powers were separated from each other, it was truly unbelievable that so many Yuan Powers could be combined together.

"They must have cultivated some kind of special supernatural power, which is why they have different Yuan energy!"

Yun Xi thought to herself, glancing at Su Chen without making a sound.

Soon, the two arrived at Demon Cave Mountain. Before even entering the mountain range, they heard loud fighting sounds coming from inside.

A deafening roar, like a bolt from the blue, whipped up a cloud of dust, instantly revealing the location of the Pure Yang Pool to the two of them. "I won't go in. If you want to go in, you can go in and inform them!"

At the foot of Demon Cave Mountain, Su Chen spoke to Yun Xi.

Yunxi paused for a moment, then nodded and entered the Pure Yang Pool alone.

Su Chen remained outside, first glancing at the demonic tide behind him.

This time, the demon tide was unprecedentedly surging and moving very fast. It seemed to be not far from Demon Cave Mountain, as if it could arrive at any moment.

However, he wasn't too worried. Since he could transform into a demon, if he was too weak to fight when the demon tide came, he could simply hide among them and leave. The only thing that concerned him was whether the demons would all be out of their minds like before. If so, escaping would be much easier; otherwise, it would be quite troublesome.

"Su Chen, I sense a strange smell emanating from Demon Cave Mountain, like the smell of blood."

Just then, Duan Tiandao suddenly spoke up. He was very sensitive to blood and often smelled it, but he rarely spoke about it before. This time, however, he took the initiative to mention it.

"Is the smell of blood coming from the Pure Yang Pool?" Su Chen asked, somewhat puzzled.

"It did indeed come from the Pure Yang Pool, but it's different from the blood and qi of martial artists. It's a more ferocious blood, containing a violent nature."

Duan Tiandao carefully considered his words, trying his best to use the words he knew to describe it.

"Where?" Upon hearing this, Su Chen's expression turned serious, and he hurriedly asked.

Duan Tiandao's words made him vaguely guess that his unease was related to this, which was why he asked so urgently.

"Follow me!" Duan Tiandao hurriedly said, leading Su Chen deeper into the Demon Cave Mountain following the scent.

The two left the Pure Yang Pool and came to the other side, next to a huge peak.

"right here!"

The Heaven-Slaying Blade pointed at the mountain peak and said, "The smell of blood is strongest near the summit."

Upon hearing this, Su Chen released his primordial spirit and began searching. Before long, he was startled: "There is a cave below."

The cave was hidden inside the waterfall and sealed by demonic power, making it extremely well-hidden. He only discovered it by accident.

"Shall we go in and take a look?"

Even without Duan Tiandao's reminder, Su Chen also planned to go and take a look.

There must be something fishy going on in this hidden cave.

With the Pure Yang Pool and the demon tide added to the mix, Su Chen hesitated only slightly before deciding to go in and take a look. He arrived at the cave entrance quickly, alone with his sword.

Su Chen directly tested the cave with his Primordial Chaos Power, then quickly adjusted it to transform it into the same energy as the demonic power in the cave. After the adjustment was complete, he enveloped the two of them with his Primordial Chaos Power, and without making any noise, they entered the cave.

The moment they entered, both Duan Tian Dao and Su Chen smelled an extremely strong stench of blood.

The Heaven-Slaying Blade was fine; there was nothing unusual about it, and it even seemed somewhat exciting. Su Chen could only suppress his five senses to avoid being shocked.

The smell of blood was incredibly pungent, like blood that had been sealed for hundreds of years suddenly bursting open. The stench assaulted the very core of one's being, and even martial artists could not withstand it.

After blocking out the smell of blood, Su Chen sped up and went deeper. The passage became larger and larger. Finally, the two came to a huge space and walked out of the passage. It was as if they had entered a blood-red world. There were countless caves all around, leading in all directions. Below was a boundless pool of blood, and the smell of blood was coming from this pool.

"Such rich and abundant blood and energy!"

Upon seeing the blood pool, Duan Tian Dao exclaimed in surprise, shocked by what he saw below.

Unexpectedly, these pools of water were filled with the power of qi and blood, which immediately attracted him.

"It's you!"

The two were watching the blood pool below when the lizard demon cultivating in the pool noticed them and was immediately startled.

He then leaped out of the blood pool, soared into the air, and arrived opposite Su Chen, recognizing him at a glance.

"I didn't go looking for you, but you came to my door instead. In that case, you might as well die!"

Upon seeing Su Chen again, the lizard demon was furious. He decided to settle both old and new scores and attacked immediately.

Its enormous tail, like a heavy whip, whipped out a fierce gust of wind that pierced the air as it swept towards Su Chen.

Su Chen remained unfazed by the sight, and didn't even bother to make a move.

Duan Tian Dao acted voluntarily, taking the initiative to strike. He flashed to Su Chen's side and then slashed out with his sword.

With such a seemingly casual strike, it unleashed a devastating force that caused mountains to crumble and the earth to split.

boom!
The two attacks collided instantly, and a terrifying shockwave erupted at the point of contact, rippling outwards like waves. However, it quickly dissipated because they were inside a cave. Both the Heaven-Severing Blade and the Lizard Demon managed to keep the impact within a certain range to prevent the cave from collapsing.

Of course, there are other reasons as well.

The Heaven-Slaying Blade didn't want to waste such a pool of blood and qi, while the lizard demon was afraid of being punished by the dragon for destroying the blood pool.

Bang bang bang!
Under such restraint, both of them were extremely cautious in their attacks, making them uninteresting to watch.

Su Chen naturally shifted his gaze from the two of them to the blood pool below.

The closer he got to the blood pool, the stronger the impact on his blood and qi became. In the end, it even affected the blood and qi power within his body through the power of primordial chaos.

"Can I absorb this vital energy?"

Suddenly, for no apparent reason, Su Chen had this thought, and staring at the blood pool in front of him, he fell into deep thought.

He didn't ponder for long before coming up with an idea, using his primordial energy to absorb some of the vital energy.

"Such pure blood and energy!"

Although it is not the blood of a martial artist, it is extremely pure, as if it has been precipitated for countless years.

"Let's see if we can refine it!"

Su Chen's eyes flickered slightly, and he immediately began to refine the small portion of blood and qi in his hand.

The refining process was very fast. In the blink of an eye, the impurities in this wisp of blood and qi were removed, making it even purer. There was no problem with absorbing it directly.

After absorbing this wisp of blood and energy, Su Chen felt the changes within his body.

"can!"

There were no changes, which means his idea was feasible.

His face lit up with joy, and he increased the speed at which he refined his blood and qi. Instantly, a rich power of blood and qi flowed into his body, causing him to shudder violently.

"Cool!"

Feeling the surge of energy within his body, Su Chen let out a long roar.

After two tests, Su Chen has confirmed that the blood pool refined with the power of Hunyuan will not have any effect on him for the time being.

Reassured, he immediately began a large-scale refining process.

Upon seeing this, the lizard demon fighting the Heaven-Severing Blade roared repeatedly, "Stop! You bastard, how dare you disturb my blood pool!" (End of Chapter)
