The poorest member of the Imperial Guard, the Empress begged me to embezzle.

Tens of thousands of miles away from the Fallen God Palace, the scene on the ground was not the desolate forbidden land of life that Chu Xiu had imagined.

Instead, it was covered by a pale green mist that enveloped the entire surface of the earth, blocking out the sunlight.

As Chu Xiu and Pulao Yaoshuai flew over this strange mist, they sensed several extremely dangerous auras within the mist, all focused on the two of them.

"Something's not right here..."

Just as Chu Xiu turned his head, about to tell Pulao Demon Commander to increase his escape speed and leave this place, an invisible force that they could not withstand with their cultivation level descended from the sky, knocking the two of them down from the sky and causing them to fall into a dark green mist!

"Damn it!"

The two men, who had crashed to the ground and created deep craters on their own, quickly got up and stood back to back, warily surveying their surroundings.

Chu Xiu tried to spread his divine sense, but it was blocked by the mist and could not leave his body at all.

Helpless, Chu Xiu could only observe his surroundings with his naked eye.

Within this mist, vegetation withered, and everywhere were blood-red swamps reeking of blood. Countless monster corpses lay exposed outside the swamps, making it seem like a monster graveyard.

These mists even ignored Chu Xiu's imperial aura protecting him, and with each breath he exhaled, they seeped into his lungs and internal organs.

Surprisingly, this eerie, dark green mist did not cause Chu Xiu any discomfort. On the contrary, it increased the demonic power within Chu Xiu's body by a little!

"This is...blood energy?"

Chu Xiu looked around; judging from the terrain, it was undoubtedly a monster's graveyard.

The eerie mist permeating this place is actually the decomposition of these demonic beast corpses by the surrounding environment, containing extremely strong mixed demonic power.

For ordinary demonic beasts, this place is a death trap, but for cultivators like Chu Xiu and Pu Lao, who have considerable cultivation levels and possess Qi refining techniques, it is a sacred place for cultivation!

With just one breath, refining the mixed blood and qi absorbed into the lungs can increase one's demonic power by a trace.

If one cultivates Qi here year after year, using Chu Xiu and Pu Lao's Qi cultivation methods, one can transform all the demonic Qi in one's body into more refined spiritual essence, thus taking that half-step towards the Supreme Realm and becoming a half-step Supreme is not impossible!

However, blood and energy are precisely what cause demonic beasts to lose their minds and unleash their bestial nature!

Even a great demon like Pulao, if it refines too much blood essence, will degenerate from a spirit of heaven and earth into a wild beast that only knows how to kill and hunt!

This is why these great demons prefer to cultivate using more difficult methods of Qi refining; all they seek is a safer path.

As a human being, Chu Xiu also had a physical body and was wary of the side effects of blood energy. However, with such a large amount of blood energy in front of him, even he found it difficult to control his impulse.

"Alas, it's a pity this place is devoid of life force; I want to absorb it, but I dare not..."

General Pu Lao sighed.

"If there were a way to collect the blood energy here, and then use it when a safe method for refining the blood energy is found, that would be great..."

"A method for collecting blood essence?"

Chu Xiu had a sudden inspiration, and his eyes gleamed with golden light.

He had already witnessed this technique before!

Chu Xiu said to Pu Lao, "Let's use this place to recover our demonic power with a small amount of blood energy and take a short break!"

"it is good!"

The demon general Pu Lao nodded in agreement.

Chu Xiu then sent his mind into the spiritual realm and came to Ying Wuyou and Tengyu.

At this moment, the two women are drinking tea and chatting in the Peach Blossom Spring they created in their own spiritual realm.

Upon seeing Chu Xiu arrive, Ying Wuyou glanced at him and asked, "What's wrong?"

Chu Xiu reached out and took out the demonic fruit containing the blood essence of the barbarian race, asking, "Senior, have you ever seen this?"

"This is... Blood Sea Demon Fruit? Where did you get such a malevolent thing? You didn't make it yourself, did you?"

Tengyu frowned and asked.

Chu Xiu quickly shook his head: "I accidentally snatched this thing from a demon who was trying to break through to a higher realm by sacrificing his entire clan."

"It's good that you didn't make it yourself, otherwise, this old lady will have to search your soul!"

Tengyu glanced at Chu Xiu from head to toe, and the sight sent chills down his spine.

Ying Wuyou reached out and the Blood Sea Demon Fruit flew from Chu Xiu's hand to hers.

Why are you asking it?

Chu Xiu said, "I want to know the method of refining this demonic fruit..."

Before Chu Xiu could finish speaking, Ying Wuyou and Teng Yu's gazes both fell on Chu Xiu, their eyes gleaming with a dangerous light.

Chu Xiu quickly explained, "I am currently in a chaotic tomb of demonic beasts, where there is a vast amount of blood energy. I want to use the refining method of this demonic fruit to collect and store the blood energy so that I can use it again when I have the opportunity in the future!"

Ying Wuyou nodded: "I see."

Teng Yu pondered, "The method of refining the Blood Sea Demon Fruit was not a secret in ancient times, but because it goes against the laws of nature, I have never known about it."

She looked at Ying Wuyou: "Your Yinglong lineage is in charge of the way of killing, so you should know this technique."

Ying Wuyou nodded: "I do know about it, but this technique is too evil. If you force it, it might incur the wrath of Heaven. Are you sure you want to learn it?"

Chu Xiu frowned upon hearing this: "Does Heaven hold grudges?"

Ying Wuyou explained, "As far as I know, from ancient times to the present, no one who has used the method of refining the Blood Sea Demon Fruit has had a good ending."

"Even if you are favored by the heavens, you are probably no exception."

Chu Xiu sighed, "Is there any other way? Are we just going to watch helplessly as that blood essence remains here, unable to be taken away even a fraction? That would be such a waste..."

"Alright, I'll go out and investigate this place for you."

Ying Wuyou flashed away from where she stood.

Upon seeing this, Chu Xiu quickly withdrew from the spiritual realm. When he opened his eyes, he saw Ying Wuyou appear beside him in his divine soul form.

Ying Wuyou looked around and frowned, saying, "This place is indeed unusually rich in blood energy, but it is not the ordinary monster graveyard you think it is."

She closed her eyes, extending her divine sense throughout the entire misty realm. After a few breaths, she slowly opened her eyes, looked at Chu Xiu, and transmitted her thoughts to him:

"This place is where a divine beast perished!"

She pointed to a wide pool of blood bubbling behind Chu Xiu, "This pool of blood is ten thousand feet deep!"

"Ten thousand feet below lies the corpse of that divine beast!"

"This corpse is connected to the earth's dragon veins, which is why this blood sea wonderland exists!"

Divine beast? !

Chu Xiu asked doubtfully, "What kind of divine beast is it?"

Ying Wuyou shook his head: "The blood energy here is too mixed. I can only sense a very faint divine beast aura, and I cannot use it to sense the species it belongs to."

"If we want to investigate, we can only venture into that pool of blood and see its remains with our own eyes. Only then will we have any chance of finding out!"

"This place is indeed an excellent location to practice the Blood Sea Demon Fruit refining technique, but alas... the price is too high."

Ying Wuyou sighed and shook her head. Even she couldn't help but regret that such an opportunity could only be missed.

Chu Xiu, however, looked hesitant, as if he didn't want to give up.

Ying Wuyou frowned and asked, "You want to go into that blood pool to take a look?"

Chu Xiu nodded: "Senior, if we can obtain the remains of that divine beast, is it possible to store blood essence using those remains?"

Ying Wuyou's eyes lit up. "This method might work!"

She had previously used this method to transform all her flesh and blood into essence blood and store it in her bone marrow before it rotted. Later, she only placed the essence blood in the blood pool after reaching an agreement with the Demon Emperor.

"However, I have never tried to fuse the blood essence of an unclaimed body with the bones of a corpse. I need to experiment to see if it is feasible!"

"it is good!"

This place is strange and extremely dangerous. I'll trouble Brother Pu Lao to wait for me here for a few days. I'll be right back!

Chu Xiu readily agreed, left a telepathic message for the demon general Pu Lao who was meditating nearby, and then transformed into a sword light and disappeared into the blood pool!
