When the headless giant was crushed by the evil claw, a trace of clarity flashed in the frenzied blood eyes of the Dead Jaw Old Monster.
The next second, he suddenly looked up to the sky and let out a roar, then opened his mouth wide, unleashing an immense suction force. The dark energy dead souls permeating the void were instantly drawn into his mouth like a long rainbow drinking water.
Visibly, the Dead Jaw Old Monster’s belly rapidly swelled like a balloon.
In less than one breath, all the dark energy was ingested, and the Dead Jaw Old Monster sharply closed his mouth, the blood color in his eyes quickly faded, revealing clarity once more, and his massive belly rapidly deflated.
However, something seemed to be wriggling faintly under his black magic robe, appearing terrifying to behold.
As the dark energy dissipated, it revealed the sneaky face of the Dead Jaw Old Monster.
He looked at the one-armed Divine Lady from a hundred zhang away, and in a rarely softened tone, said: "Tian Que, I owe you a favor. I’ll remember it for now and repay it later!"
"No need! I do not wish to be involved with you." The Heavenly Defect Goddess denied coldly in public, showing no passion.
Hmph!
Upon hearing this, the Dead Jaw Old Monster’s face turned dark, and he let out a cold snort. But knowing he couldn’t defeat the Heavenly Defect Goddess, he could only swallow his humiliation.
At this moment, Shi Yao Ancestor brought Zhao Sheng between the two, attempting to mediate, "Dead Jaw, Tian Que, don’t forget why we are here. Business is urgent; let’s set aside past grudges for now."
After finishing, Shi Yao Ancestor intentionally reminded, "Dead Jaw, in your current state, you probably won’t last another century. If you continue being so arrogant and domineering, you might bee the next Blood God’s Son."
Hmph!
The Dead Jaw Old Monster couldn’t help but snort coldly again, then suddenly aimed his anger at Zhao Sheng, seemingly venting his frustration.
"Boy, listen up. I don’t care if you’re from the Southern Sky Zhao Family or if you crawled out from under a rock. I only ask you this: Did you create the Crystal Death Disease?"
With this question, the eyes of both Shi Yao and Tian Que fell simultaneously onto Zhao Sheng, clearly concerned.
Zhao Sheng’s thoughts raced, and a myriad of ideas flashed through his mind in an instant.
In a flash of realization, he came to a bold decision in his heart.
"Indeed! Both the blood plague ravaging the two realms and the fatal crystal death disease were both devised by me."
"As for why I did it, any perceptive person can see the reason. Besides, it cannot escape the Divine Eye of my three seniors."
"Our Tianzhu Realm always advocates for peace, never wishing to see the people suffer, the Blood Sea drift aimlessly. The current situation between the two realms is entirely the doing of the Blood God.
I believe not only the beings in our Tianzhu Realm but also all the Divinity Transformation True Monarchs of the Netherworld realms would like nothing more than to eradicate the Blood God."
After Zhao Sheng made his declaration, Shi Yao Ancestor immediately continued, "You speak the truth. Saving the two realms from the nightmare of the Blood God is an old man’s lifelong wish. Fellow Daoists Dead Jaw and Tian Que share this desire."
Regarding Shi Yao Ancestor’s words, Zhao Sheng could only believe them one part, while the remaining nine parts were for their own life’s sake.
After all, as long as the Blood God is not eradicated, all Divinity Transformation True Monarchs of the two realms will always be prey for this Longevity Beast.
Zhao Sheng correctly guessed the thoughts of the three and immediately felt relieved, showing a slight smile and saying, "So the three seniors have such great aspirations, I was disrespectful just now. Perhaps the three of you specifically sought me to rid the two realms of the Blood God’s menace?"
"Jie jie, cunning boy! Why ask questions you already know the answer to? I’m one who never beats around the bush. If it weren’t for Shi Yao’s strong remendation, why would I travel countless miles to this ghostly place?" Although the Dead Jaw Old Monster was close to being prey, he still couldn’t let go of his arrogance, speaking with a challenging tone.
Of course, Zhao Sheng didn’t really believe the other to be so "reckless."
He suspected the Dead Jaw Old Monster deliberately did this to hide his cunning and treacherous side.
Zhao Sheng’s gaze brushed past him and turned to Shi Yao Ancestor, his expression calm and posed.
"Mr. Zhao. I once divined with nine hexagrams, and the results were chaotic, all showing signs of great misfortune turning to fortune. The blessing lies between Zhen and Dui, implying a change in leadership, with life thriving in the wilderness... So I sought you to resolve my confusion."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng gained significant insight and immediately said, "I understand why the three of you came. While the Crystal Death Disease can curb the spread of Blood Cultivators and indirectly undermine the Blood God’s foundation, eliminating the Blood God swiftly within a short time is absolutely impossible.
If we wait for the Blood God to weaken slowly, I think you, seniors, cannot wait that long. So the fastest way to severely hurt the Blood God is to eradicate a few of the Blood God’s Sons."
As he spoke to this point, the Dead Jaw Old Monster suddenly broke into a sneering laugh, "Hehe! Isn’t that obvious? But as long as there’s a high and mighty Blood God, Blood God’s Sons in the two realms are almost impossible to kill. In several tens of thousands of years, there have been only a handful of cases where they were defeated, and at most, they were imprisoned in places like the Prisoner God Palace to slowly be worn down."
"...so we need to lure the Blood God’s Son to the Divine Ruins to kill him. The premise is that a bait is needed. And that bait is merely me. Isn’t that right, Shi Yao Ancestor?" Zhao Sheng looked profoundly at Shi Yao Ancestor, asking with deep meaning.
"The old man’s simple strategy, truly cannot deceive your eyes, my young friend. But the divination shows you are the most crucial person. The task of killing the Blood God’s Son cannot do without you!"
Upon hearing this, Zhao Sheng immediately linked together the cause and effect, fully understanding the intentions of the three before him.
