Chapter 2012 - 1770: That's Right

Within the Asura Tower, countless secret realms are hidden, including secret techniques, cultivation techniques, immortal elixirs, magic treasures, and various treasures, all concealed within these secret realms. It is known that there are a total of eighty-one Asura Towers in the entire Asura Battlefield, each containing countless secret realms. It seems that the Shura World Lord spent an unimaginable amount of effort to set up the Asura Battlefield, and these secret realms are also things he forcibly moved into the Asura Towers from other parts of the universe.

A full month had passed since the numerous Shura World Generals entered the Asura Tower. During this time, many Shura World Generals had fallen, while others had acquired many good treasures.

A blood-colored secret realm!

This secret realm was shrouded in a faint blood mist, with heaven and earth immersed in this blood mist, resembling the Asura realm itself.

In the void of this blood mist secret realm, seven islands floated, with six smaller islands surrounding one slightly larger floating island. Although described as smaller, each island is at least the size of a dozen Dragon Platform Cities.

In a certain area of this secret realm, a blurred shadow of flowing light appeared in mid-air and then solidified.

He stood on a cyan flying sword, with a treasure sword on his back, his black hair and dark eyes identifying him as Lin Mo, who had stepped into the blood-colored light pillar and arrived here.

"What is this place?"

Lin Mo surveyed his surroundings, gazing at the seven islands suspended in the blood mist in the distance, and couldn't help but furrow his brow.

For some reason, this place always gave him a very dangerous feeling.

Remaining cautious and alert, Lin Mo slowly flew toward one of the islands, his divine thought constantly scanning the surroundings ready to counter any threat. Lin Mo chose one of the outer islands and did not head straight to the central island among the seven. Although the secret realms might hold treasures, treasures are invariably accompanied by danger, and for now, Lin Mo only wanted to find a quiet place to break through to the Fifth Transition Shura Realm.

The higher his strength, the less risk he would face when seeking treasures.

For instance, encountering the Kongtong Realm General, Heavenly Ancestor World General, and Ba Li Brothers; if Lin Mo had reached the Fifth Transition Shura Realm, those four wouldn't dare to target him. He flew into one of the islands, which was enormous, filled with forests, lakes, peaks, and mountains, all enveloped in blood mist. Lin Mo entered the island and found a tranquil valley in the depths of a mountain range, an ideal place to seclude himself for the breakthrough.

"Hmm?"

Lin Mo raised his head and suddenly froze in place. From his position, he looked to the east, where he saw an imposing blood-colored mountain towering skyward in the center of the island. The mountain was peculiarly shaped, several hundred thousand miles high, its entire body a semi-transparent, blood-colored crystalline form, reaching up to the heavens, and the entire mountain was shrouded in dense blood energy.

Even when Lin Mo looked at the mountain, the blood evil within him began to stir, and he quickly controlled it, calming the restless blood evil aura.

"Could the blood evil aura in this secret realm all originate from that strange mountain?" Lin Mo furrowed his sword eyebrows and, hesitating for a moment, cautiously advanced toward the blood-colored mountain, stepping on his flying sword.

The closer he got to the mountain, the thicker the blood mist became, and the more intense the contained evil qi grew.

Lin Mo stepped on his flying sword, flying slowly, and when he was less than a kilometer from the blood-colored mountain, he suddenly stopped, reaching out his hand, a slight change of color on his face.

The blood mist enveloping the mountain and its surroundings was actually seeping into his body through his pores, giving Lin Mo quite a shock.

"What is going on?"

Lin Mo was astonished, shocked.

The blood mist was omnipresent and even True Yuan couldn't block it, seeping bit by bit into his pores and entering his body. Yet when he first entered the secret realm, even though the surroundings were filled with blood-colored mist, this didn't occur!

Lin Mo raised his head, looking at the semi-transparent, crystal-like mountain before him, furrowing his sword eyebrows. This blood-colored mountain was extremely peculiar, and it was evidently because he got closer to the mountain that the blood mist began to seep into his pores, penetrating his skin and body.

Moreover, as the blood mist permeated his body, the evil essence inside him began to stir restlessly, with streams of blood energy writhing beneath his skin.

The Asura Body requires a cultivator to induce the evil essence within them to trigger it.

But now, with the blood mist penetrating his skin, it caused the Asura Body to appear automatically.

"I have to retreat, I need to leave this place." Lin Mo's expression changed and he immediately flew away, retreating a hundred miles from the blood-colored mountain.

Lin Mo observed carefully for a while longer, noticing the blood mist outside didn't penetrate his pores, and the writhing blood energy under his skin gradually calmed down and disappeared.

"The situation just now was incredibly dangerous."

Thinking about how he had approached the blood-colored mountain, a cold sweat broke out on Lin Mo's whole body. When the blood mist entered his skin, it triggered the Asura Body, bizarrely giving him a feeling of comfort, as if the 'blood mist' entering his body provided him with some benefit, enticing him to continue towards the blood-colored mountain.

Fortunately, Lin Mo's usual cultivation of his Dao Heart gave him a tenacious mind, preventing him from being deceived by this illusory feeling.

If he had entered the blood-colored mountain, he might never be able to leave it!

The blood mist within the mountain was even thicker, and once inside, the blood mist would continually seep into his body, unknowingly corrupting his Heart Realm, making it impossible to ever leave that blood-colored mountain.

"What exactly is inside that mountain, to be so terrifying?"

Lin Mo calmed his heart, deciding that even if it contained the Asura Inheritance, he wouldn't venture inside.

Visible enemies aren't scary; it's the blood energy from Blood Peak in the unknown that erodes one's mind unconsciously, sinking them into oblivion never to rise again. Lin Mo dared not approach Blood Peak, promptly returning to the quiet valley he had found earlier. He then carved a cave on a stone wall using his flying sword, setting heavy arrays to isolate aura and divine thought, while eighteen Heavenly Thunder Bamboo Swords formed a sword array, densely arranged all around.

With the precedent of a sneak attack by the Kongtong Realm General and others, Lin Mo wasn't careless this time, laying numerous deadly array traps. Anyone who stepped into the vicinity would trigger a sword array attack, showing no mercy.

The entrance to the carved cave was small, only allowing one person to enter upright, but inside, a spacious quiet room-like area had been excavated.

"The Four Symbols Pill, it seems Young Master Yan Bei indeed did not use it." Lin Mo first opened Young Master Yan Bei's Space Ring. Inside, there was indeed a Four Symbols Pill; Young Master Yan Bei had bought the Four Symbols Pill in Dragon Platform City intending to make the Third-Transformation Shura breakthrough, but his body could not endure the quenching of the evil essence, so it was never used, and now it was Lin Mo's windfall.

He opened the Space Rings of the Ba Li Brothers.

Inside were beast inner cores and various miscellaneous treasures. Ba Li's Space Ring also contained a milky white bottle emitting a peculiar fragrance. Lin Mo took out the milky white bottle, removed the cork, and instantly that strange fragrance filled the air.
