After leaving Kuiyu City, Fan Wubing journeyed south, heading towards Canglang Country.
During these days, he had already familiarized himself with the surrounding environnt.
Near a frontier county town of Canglang Country, there was a large canyon. The terrain was treacherous, rarely visited by people, nor inhabited by any beasts, and the winding corridors of the canyon, dotted with cliff breaks, made it ideal for tribulation evasion.
Traveling on foot, by noon of the second day, he arrived.
After surveying the area, Fan Wubing used the Unwarranted Qi Creation Skill to arrange the qi of the canyon corridors, setting up a tight qi network, enabling him to imdiately sense anything that intruded.
Where the spirit wasn't enough, qi made up for it.
After completing these tasks, it was already dusk. He ate so simple immortal food, then began to patiently wait.
Looking from the canyon corridor into the distant sky, a crimson sun hung between the two cliff faces, resembling a ferocious giant eye.
As night fell, everything around gradually sank into a sort of eerie state, as if so aura was brewing incessantly.
Familiar,
It was all too familiar!
Even experiencing it only once every five years, Fan Wubing would never forget this feeling, and as soon as it erged, he instantly recognized it.
It was precisely the aura brewed by "Ying Huo Devours Prey."
To this day, he still did not understand what "Ying Huo Devours Prey" truly was.
Was it a heavenly tribulation?
Or the Power of Law?
Why once every five years, and why not directly annihilate, but leave a sliver of life?
In a ga, he could say it was because "Heavenly Remnant Body" was designed this way. But in the real world, the existence of all things is bound to follow so kind of "rule," usually under the na of Heavenly Dao. But why would the Heavenly Dao act this way?
Fan Wubing sat in a fissure in the canyon cliff, in a ditative state, pondering these questions.
In the sky, the clouds gradually revealed a crimson hue. It seed as if a fierce beast was peering at the earth amidst the clouds, and just one look would bring misfortune. Gradually, the clouds above began to revolve around that crimson hue, akin to a massive storm.
Fan Wubing looked up at the sky, facing the crimson light above directly.
"It's more formidable than the one five years ago! And… it seems a bit clearer in shape."
Previously, he could only see the sudden appearance of the crimson light above.
But this ti, the crimson hue seed to gradually take on so definite shape. Truly resembling a crushed, red-eyed orb. At this mont, that "eyeball" locked onto him, instantly raising so monstrous malice.
Such a scene made Fan Wubing grateful that he chose an uninhabited place. An ordinary person witnessing this scene would surely believe that it was heaven's wrath, descending to punish the mortal world. It was entirely too terrifying and vicious.
However, he was fully prepared.
The Rootless Qi Blood Library was full, he had made plenty of replenishing immortal food, and his Unwarranted Qi Creation Skill was operating at every mont, along with the ultimate defense of the Nine Nether Divine Phoenix Body.
All was ready!
"Seven Luminaries Rain Control Skill!"
To further increase security, Fan Wubing activated the Seven Luminaries Rain Control Skill to summon rain.
The torrential downpour ensued instantly.
Eerily, even the rainwater was tinged with the crimson hue of Ying Huo.
Fortunately, the effect of the Seven Luminaries Rain Control Skill was not altered.
He couldn't help but wonder, if like in the Peach Blossom Spring, during his battle with Divine General Shen Tu, continuously using the Seven Luminaries Rain Control Skill to bring down the might of the Seven Luminaries True Monarch to clash with this Ying Huo, what would happen?
This curiosity stirred him, making him itch to try it out.
But suddenly,
The previously set up qi network sent feedback.
Sothing… sothing had entered the canyon!
Fan Wubing imdiately beca alert, hurriedly using the Unwarranted Qi Creation Skill to scrutinize. But no matter how he searched, he found nothing unusual.
Why?
Could it be a delusion?
He had never been one to attribute strange feelings to "delusions," but at this mont, he couldn't find a reason.
Was he being too sensitive?
Even so, he did not lower his guard, dealing with the impending Ying Huo Devours Prey while using the Unwarranted Qi Creation Skill to sense his surroundings.
At such a crucial mont, everything unrelated must be prevented from interference.
...
In the downpour. Sowhere in the winding canyon corridor.
A short-statured youth walked like a ghost, making no sound at all, even the environnt's qi wasn't disturbed. He seed like a phantom that didn't exist at all.
He paused slightly, looked up at the gathering Ying Huo in the sky, feeling the violent rain and the raging wind, suddenly grinning with a cruel expression on his face, "So it's true. Fan Wubing… Fan Wubing… this should-have-been-insignificant na. It turns out, the bizarre phenonon at the Eternal Immortal Sect five years ago was indeed caused by you. You are the 'destined' Blood Demon! The first volu of the 'Blood Calamity Death Immortal Skill' must have been taken by you."
He squinted slightly, clicking his tongue inwardly, "If those guys knew their genius disciple was a heinous Blood Demon, what expression would they have? Unfortunately, they will never know. Because tonight is the night of your demise."
The rain seed to have no effect on him at all, imrsed as if entering a realm where nothing existed, strolling as if in a leisurely courtyard.
Not disturbing a shred of qi, not delaying the rain for a mont, he advanced following the remaining breath of life in the environnt.
Upon reaching a certain place, he stopped, gazing from afar, only to see Fan Wubing sitting still in a massive fissure.
