Was the Saint Body about to win? Wang Hao couldn't help but wonder.
After using such a powerful secret technique, it should have won by now.
Before long, a violent explosion echoed through the sky.
The immense sound filled Jiang Li's mind, making his head ring.
Soon, the booming sound in the sky vanished, and everything seemed to return to peace.
Immediately after, two bright, scorching beams of light appeared in the sky, as if two meteorites were falling from above.
The descent of these two meteor-like objects generated a terrifying aura.
Jiang Li felt as though his body was about to be torn apart by the fearsome energy.
His vision blurred.
After a moment, a violent collision sounded from the ground.
Sand and dust billowed up, and the entire world seemed to turn a hazy gray.
A moment later, Jiang Li looked forward. As the dust settled, he saw the Saint Body pinning the Hegemon Body beneath its feet.
"A mere Hegemon Body dares to boast of invincibility?" the Saint Body said indifferently, its gaze filled with utter contempt for the Hegemon Body.
An extremely powerful force erupted from the Saint Body, as if it were about to crush the Hegemon Body at any moment.
"I'm not reconciled! I am invincible... No... Save me..." the Hegemon Body roared, its voice filled with fury.
"Screech!!!"
As soon as the Hegemon Body finished speaking, the firmament above was torn asunder.
A momentary silence fell upon the world.
Time and space seemed to freeze.
A moment later, a figure shrouded in purple energy shot out from the rent in the heavens, directly sending the Saint Body, which was standing on the Hegemon Body, flying.
The Saint Body was struck by the appearing figure and sent hurtling backward, crashing into a desolate mountain in the distance.
The entire desolate mountain was shattered by the terrifying force.
"Useless! You used the blood of an inverse immortal and still couldn't defeat a nascent Saint Body. You're the worst Hegemon Body I've ever taken in..." a hoarse voice emanated from the purple figure.
Then, the purple figure's gaze fell upon the Saint Body in the distance.
"Give me another chance, just one more chance... Next time, I'll definitely kill him..." the Hegemon Body, its breath shallow, looked at the purple figure with extreme fawning.
Dark, viscous blood flowed continuously from the Hegemon Body, its entire being radiating a potent aura.
Jiang Li felt something lodge itself in his heart. Inverse immortal blood, what was that?
And who was this purple figure?
Why did they suddenly attack the Saint Body?
"Zhou Shuo, how dare you collude with the inverse..." a deep voice echoed from within the shattered desolate mountain.
...
Before the words were even finished, the entire world began to shatter, the desolate landscape breaking apart like a shattered mirror.
Jiang Li could only feel the world disintegrating.
A profoundly mysterious and gentle force permeated his mind.
Inverse what... Who exactly was that person...
What did he want? And what was this inverse immortal blood?
Why couldn't you let me finish watching?
This Saint Body senior is being unfair, not letting me see the end...
Jiang Li felt extremely frustrated, as if he were reading a novel and it abruptly ended at the crucial moment.
He was destined to fight the Hegemon Body in the future. If something like this happened again, he wouldn't fare well.
However, based on the current situation, he deduced that the Saint Body senior had likely been KO'd by that purple figure.
A shadow of gloom fell upon Jiang Li's heart. It seemed he had to prepare thoroughly for the battle against the Hegemon Body.
Initially, Jiang Li believed that with his talent and powerful system, the Hegemon Body would be nothing more than a foe he could easily suppress.
Now, it appeared that this fated conflict involved far more than he had anticipated.
That shadowy entity might even show up then.
Once I get out, I'll investigate this inverse immortal blood... Jiang Li mused. It was the only clue he had now.
He absolutely had to investigate thoroughly. He didn't want to suffer the same fate as his predecessor.
Jiang Li took a deep breath and then felt his spiritual consciousness being swept out of that world.
Jiang Li regained his senses and found himself back in the secret chamber.
Concurrently, a golden spiritual light appeared from the Golden Bone.
That light then shot into Jiang Li's mind.
What was this? Jiang Li's mind experienced a momentary surge.
Mysterious and obscure information flooded his mind.
[Great Desolate Scripture], an supreme secret technique. Upon its completion, it allows one to turn a radius of ten thousand miles into barren wasteland with its activation, gathering the life force of ten thousand miles into oneself, capable of shattering the heavens...
A vast voice resounded in Jiang Li's mind.
This was the supreme secret technique the Saint Body had used during the battle just now...
Upon using it, one could draw upon the life force of ten thousand miles, greatly increasing one's strength.
This secret technique was truly amazing. Jiang Li knew that the Ancient Desolate Saint Body had relied on this very technique to defeat the Hegemon Body, who had used the blood of an inverse immortal.
Although Jiang Li didn't know what inverse immortal blood was.
He knew that anything that person in black regarded so highly must be extremely important.
If that fellow hadn't appeared, the Hegemon Body would have been finished.
Jiang Li couldn't help but think.
Alas, that Golden Bone... Jiang Li's expression shifted. After inheriting the [Great Desolate Scripture], he found a faint, almost imperceptible connection forming between himself and that Golden Bone...
Never mind, he'd deal with that later. He needed to quickly improve his strength.
He still had several divine abilities and secret techniques to learn.
These were [Seven Seals of the Forbidden Immortal], [Great Chaos Fist], and the newly acquired [Great Desolate Scripture]... all incredibly powerful supreme divine abilities and secret techniques.
Learning them would greatly enhance his strength.
Next, he would diligently cultivate these secret techniques.
Jiang Li took a deep breath and began to cultivate these top-tier secret techniques.
He held the Enlightenment Stone in his hand, surrounded by various resources, spiritual herbs, and top-grade spirit stones, which he was continuously absorbing.
Simultaneously, the profound and obscure information of the secret techniques flowed through his mind.
Time slowly ticked by.
...
Qingqiu.
The Royal Palace of the Celestial Demon Fox Clan.
The Celestial Demon Fox Clan's Royal Palace was now filled with soaring vital energy.
Terrifying formation patterns in the sky were connected to a blood pool in the center of the palace, unleashing immense power.
The entire palace area was awash in blood. The aura generated by the connection between the sky formations and the blood pool raged outwards like a hurricane.
Not far from the Royal Palace, a black figure watched the surrounding scene with burning intensity.
"It's finally successful! The Blood Demon Grand Sacrifice is about to begin!" the black figure's expression turned incredibly manic.
Beside him gathered Hong Xuan the Great Sage and several other demon clan leaders.
Their faces were also filled with fervor and excitement.
"Clan Leader, the soul lamps of Young Clan Leader Huang and Young Clan Leader Xu have both been extinguished..." at that moment, a panicked voice rang out not far from them.
