The cheat system is useless, but I have the strongest living dad.

Bloodworms surged in the golden divine fire, the blood pool gradually dried up, and the red and black spiritual artifacts above the blood pool lost their luster, falling into the pool and being annihilated in the divine fire.

The acrid smell was too strong; even their masks couldn't block it. Anyway, the divine fire would burn the bloodworms away before extinguishing them, so they turned around and prepared to leave the third floor.

The corridor was scorching hot. They hadn't walked far when, from the pool of blood behind them, came a voice that was neither male nor female: "Master, don't go..."

Shen Yao felt as if struck by lightning; her breath suddenly stopped, and her legs froze in place.

Feng Yu's expression changed drastically, and Huo Die also showed a rare change in expression.

They remembered the voice vividly; it was the voice of the Blood Demon from the fifth chamber of the Dihe Secret Realm underground palace.

Tu Xiaoxiao, puzzled by their unusual behavior, turned around and angrily shouted, "Playing tricks! Get out here and face me!"

"Hmph." The snort was soft, filled with disdain and contempt: "Is he your newly accepted disciple, Master?"

Shen Yao gripped Feng Yu's hand tightly, her palms sweating. Wasn't the Blood Demon dead? How could he be here?

Her eyes questioned Huo Die: Was it the Blood Demon?

Huo Die nodded slightly: "Judging from the voice, it sounds like it."

Then we can't just leave.

Even if his spiritual root shatters again... Shen Yao will still have to kill him.

This time, however, without Jiang Qi's life-extending pill, her father would lose his energy and immortal body if he saved her...

We can't worry about that now. The evil cultivators and the bloodworms are inextricably linked. So many bloodworms must have come from the Blood Demon's body. If we don't kill the Blood Demon, the consequences will be endless.

Shen Yao turned and walked towards the blood pool, but Feng Yu grabbed her hand tightly and wouldn't let go: "Yanzhou, let's think of another way."

What other way is there? The Blood Demon is a wisp of the God's consciousness. Even slaying the God couldn't truly kill the Blood Demon. Who else can do it?

Seeing Feng Yu's worried look, she relented and said, "Okay, let's see how things go first."

It might not be a Blood Demon, but something else entirely.

I have to see it for myself.

She tried to pull Feng Yu along, but Tu Xiaoxiao grabbed her again...

Should this matter be resolved at all?!

Male cultivators are indeed stumbling blocks on the path of training.

Tu Xiaoxiao had a bad feeling and asked with a puzzled look, "Could you tell me what that thing is?"

“It might be the Blood Demon.” Shen Yao didn’t intend to hide it from him: “We saw the Blood Demon in the secret realm before, and I killed it back then.”

She paused, hesitating whether to tell Tu Xiaoxiao the consequences first, so that she could be mentally prepared.

After thinking about it, she still didn't say anything, betting on the extremely small probability that it wasn't the Blood Demon.

"Blood Demon?" A sorrowful voice came from the blood pool: "Does Master... now address me like that?"

Shen Yao was annoyed. Master, Master, Master, when did she ever take on a disciple?

Even if she was taken in a past life, that's a matter of the past life, what does it have to do with Shen Yao!

She stormed back and shouted at the pool of blood in the firelight, "Don't call me master! I've never taken on any disciples, so what kind of master are you!"

The voice from the blood pool grew even more mournful, accompanied by sobs as it asked her, "Does Master not even want to acknowledge me anymore?"

Shen Yao's ears went numb from listening, and a chill ran down her neck.

Out of panic and anger, she raised her voice and yelled, "Are you crazy?! If you're so capable, come out in the open, don't hide in the shadows!"

The only sounds in the space were the whooshing of the divine fire and the crackling of the bloodworms exploding as they were burned.

A moment later, the pool full of bloodworms was finally burned away by the divine fire.

The blood pool was covered with a thick layer of blood ash.

There were also some insect corpses that hadn't been burned to ashes, scattered in the pool, curled up and twisted into clumps.

The four cultivators by the pool remained vigilant, on high alert for the possibility of a sudden appearance of the Blood Demon.

Suddenly, the bottom of the pool began to shake, and two large rocks in the middle of the pool split apart to reveal a stone staircase passage.

A voice came from inside the passage: "Master, come in alone."

Shen Yao wasn't stupid: "Impossible."

A low chuckle came from inside the passage: "Master's courage has waned."

Huo Die stepped forward to scout ahead: "Never mind him, let's go in together."

He flew to the entrance of the stone steps and saw that the steps and the walls on both sides were covered with bloodworms.

The divine fire burned all the bloodworms to death, and Shen Yao pulled Feng Yu and Tu Xiaoxiao together as they flew into the stone steps.

At the end of the stone steps is an obsidian door, exactly the same as the stone door of the fifth chamber of the Dihe Secret Realm Underground Palace.

Shen Yao touched it with her spiritual sense, and the obsidian door indeed transformed into an obsidian tablet, which flew into her hand.

Inside the stone gate is a downward staircase, and the layout inside is almost identical to the five chambers of the underground palace.

The steps were covered with chains, and many chains inside the room pierced the Blood Demon's body, trapping it in a cage.

The Blood Demon had disheveled hair and no facial features. If it wasn't the Blood Demon from the underground palace, then who was it?

Many bloodworms were still crawling out of his body, and they crawled up the iron cage, all of them squeezing into the top of the cage.

The Blood Demon has no eyes, but everyone can clearly feel that its gaze is on Shen Yao.

Feng Yu held Shen Yao tightly, preventing her from going down the steps.

This time there was no life-extending pill, and he remembered how much pain Yan Zhou was in after his spiritual root shattered.

Damn it, he actually started reminiscing about how good Jiang Ming was to Yanzhou.

Unfortunately, Jiang Ming wouldn't be here with a life-extending pill.

Feng Yu wouldn't let Shen Yao leave, and Huo Die and Tu Xiaoxiao also stood still.

Tu Xiaoxiao didn't understand why Feng Yu was so nervous, but his premonition grew increasingly ominous.

The Blood Demon's gaze shifted to Huo Die, and he spoke in a language Tu Xiaoxiao couldn't understand: "The Divine Lord has changed his avatar again?"

Huo Die met his gaze without the slightest fear.

The Blood Demon has no eyes, but its gaze is tangible. Feng Yu and Tu Xiaoxiao both felt the Blood Demon's gaze sweep over them.

"Master, have you perhaps found a partner?" The Blood Demon's tone was sarcastic, followed by a strange low laugh: "Hehehehe... Master, you can't go back..."

It's completely baffling and incomprehensible.

"Slay the Gods!" Shen Yao didn't want to listen to its nonsense and bewitched, so she decisively summoned the Godslaying Blade.

The God-Slaying Blade shot out with a 'whoosh' and hovered in front of Shen Yao.

The Blood Demon saw the God-Slaying Blade, and blood tears streamed from its faceless eyes: "Master, are you going to kill me again?"

The guardian spirit of the scabbard, in its spiritual form, advised as usual: "You have not yet become a god, nor have you mastered the intent of the sword. Slaying a god will come at a price."

"Don't kill!" Feng Yu interrupted first, "Yan Zhou, don't kill him!"

He was afraid that Shen Yao would shout "execute," so he reached out and covered her mouth: "There is no life-extending pill this time, you can't execute her, please, don't execute her, the price is too high."

Tu Xiaoxiao roughly guessed the reason: "What is the price?"

Feng Yu immediately pulled him into the formation: "Last time we used the God-Slaying Technique, Yan Zhou's spiritual root was completely shattered."

"His spiritual root is completely shattered!" Tu Xiaoxiao said without hesitation, "Then we can't kill him!"

Shen Yao's mouth was covered tightly, and she looked at Huo Die questioningly, after all, after being killed, it was Huo Die who would have to pay the price to save her.

Before Huo Die could answer, the Blood Demon mocked, "So, Master paid such a high price for killing me last time."

"Master is indeed amazing. Even with his spiritual roots completely shattered, he can still recover."

"Master, this is just a wisp of divine consciousness. Can you guess how many parts my divine consciousness has been divided into in this world?"

"At such a high price, how many times can you kill me?"
