After the Blood Demon imparted the Oral Formula and Secret Technique needed to activate the Blood Stone Stele to Shi Feng, his gaze still lingered on Shi Feng, observing the Blood-colored Battle Armor he wore. Shaking his head with a sigh, he said, "Since you have obtained this Battle Armor, I presu you have also released that Demon’s Demon Heart. When I forged this Blood-colored Battle Armor, I laid a Secret Technique within it specifically targeted against that Demon. If you ever truly encounter that Demon, I hope you will make good use of it. Now, with the little strength I have left, I’ll help you remove the Prohibitions on this Blood Armor."
As the Blood Demon spoke, his hands were already Sealing. Soon after, strange, twisted Blood-colored Runes floated out from between his hands, one by one in dense succession, like flying text, falling towards Shi Feng and landing on the Blood-colored Battle Armor.
Shi Feng then sensed that half of the Blood Demon Race’s Prohibitions still on the Blood-colored Battle Armor had been completely broken at the fall of the ancient and Profound Mystery Blood-colored text. The whole Battle Armor emitted a strangely bright red Blood Light.
With the Prohibitions gone, Shi Feng sensed that this piece of Blood-colored Battle Armor was actually a Ninth-stage Emperor Level artifact which, on the current Tianheng Continent, was already a top-tier item. Considering that the highest level Alchemy Master on Tianheng Continent was only an Eighth-level Alchemist, this Blood Demon, having forged this Battle Armor, must have an Alchemy level of at least the Ninth-stage Emperor Level, if not even higher.
Then, Shi Feng rembered the Demon and Demon Heart ntioned by the Blood Demon just now. Back in the underground plaza, he had heard the dull sound of a beating heart, which must have been emitted by the Demon Heart. And indeed, as he had thought, the Blood-colored Battle Armor was indeed used to suppress that mysterious Evil Object.
According to the Heart Demon, there should be another Demon, and he had only suppressed the heart of that Demon. The young man in white he was with in the underground plaza that day must have had his body taken by that Demon Heart.
"What, exactly, is the Demon Heart, and even that Demon?" Shi Feng still looked up, asking the Blood Demon.
"It was an Elder and powerful being from the ancient tis. I suppressed it hand-in-hand with that person from the Blood Pattern Tribe. I am now too weak, lacking the strength to tell you all this. I am going to sleep."
The voice of the Blood Demon’s Remnant Soul sounded extrely tired and weak, and then, under Shi Feng’s watchful eyes, the eyes on the Blood Demon’s pale face gradually lost their spirit and slowly closed. As the eyes closed, the Blood Demon’s body gradually beca dim and transparent, and eventually, like mist, completely disappeared in this Dark Space.
Shi Feng knew that with the disappearance of this wisp of Remnant Soul, the Blood Demon had completely dispersed, and now, it was ti to collect the Blood-colored Stone Stele.
"You are too despicable! Even I can’t stand to watch anymore," Sacred Fla spoke again to Shi Feng, saying, "This Blood Demon lived for so many years, only to be deceived by you. He really lived all his life in vain."
"When you believed what I said back then, does that an you also lived your life in vain?" Shi Feng teased with a playful tone, causing Sacred Fla to feel that this person had no sense of sha at all, his face much too thick. This person was indeed too despicable.
Despicable as may be, Shi Feng couldn’t care less about that. To him, the most important thing was to gain benefits and advantages. This ti entering the Blood-colored Stone Stele brought him much gain, not only releasing the Blood Demon Clan’s Prohibition on this Blood-colored Battle Armor but also acquiring the Blood-colored Stone Stele itself with the triple strikes of a One-star Martial Emperor.
In the Heavenly Mist Empire, he could now walk sideways, crushing whoever he wanted with ease.
"Hmph! It was a mont of confusion that led to be deceived by your honeyed words and pretentious deanor," Sacred Fla snorted coldly, but then thought of how the Blood Demon had just done the sa. Thus, he fell silent and spoke no more.
"Have you ever heard of the ’demon’ ntioned by the Blood Demon?" Shi Feng asked Sacred Fla. That ’demon’, so formidable that even the Blood Demon and the Blood Pattern Tribe, mortal enemies bound by a life-and-death vendetta, had once joined forces to suppress it. In the end, they managed to suppress only its heart.
"I have not," responded Sacred Fla in an unfriendly tone.
"Then forget it," said Shi Feng. The Demon Heart brought to mind the white-clothed youth possessed by the Demon Heart who once fought against him. His aura was like that of Li Liuxin, Long Ao from the sa day, and the Evil Object that possessed Li Ru’s body. Perhaps the carefree-looking Li Liuxin knew sothing.
Imdiately afterward, Shi Feng’s hands ford Handprints, and he began chanting the Oral Formula taught to him by the Blood Demon, filled with Elder Gai’s Profound Mystery. Between the Handprints, streams of Blood-colored Runes began to erge, drifting upwards, swirling densely in this Dark Space like wiggling tadpoles twisting through the darkness.
As ti slowly passed, Shi Feng’s Handprints and the Oral Formula continued uninterruptedly; in the boundless darkness, the floating Blood-colored Runes beca more nurous and compact, spreading out in all directions.
After a while, the Dark Area centered around Shi Feng had nearly turned into an ocean of Blood-colored Runes. At this mont, he finally stopped chanting the Oral Formula, and his Handprints also gradually ceased.
With Shi Feng’s movents, the dense ocean of Runes started to dissolve like mist under sunlight, slowly fading into the vast expanse of darkness.
Shi Feng suddenly felt an inexplicable connection with this Dark Space and the external Blood-colored Stone Stele, an enigmatic bond. With a single thought, Shi Feng took a step forward, and instantly, the view before him dramatically changed. The darkness vanished, replaced by a crimson world, returning him to the mountaintop, to his original position.
Shi Feng saw the colossal transparent giant still standing tall on the summit of the Blood-colored Peak, still looking down upon him. Its eyes, as large as lanterns, focused on him. The giant’s rugged face clearly revealed a barely concealed excitent upon his reappearance.
"How... How did it go!" Having seen Shi Feng again, the giant bood out like thunderous claps, asking.
"What do you think!" Shi Feng stood with his hands behind his back, looking up at the giant, a face full of pride as he uttered those three words.
What do you think! What do you think! What do you think!
These three words echoed repeatedly in the giant’s mind, and soon after, the giant’s excited face broke into a broad grin, "So, it can really be..."
