Chapter 2021 - 1778: Courting Death

"Hmm, what's going on? The aura of the Green Bull Realm General has disappeared?"

The Blood Emperor World General, sitting cross-legged in the void outside Blood Peak, widened his eyes and stared intently at the Blood Peak that always gave him a sense of foreboding. He could clearly sense the rapid dissipation of the Green Bull Realm General's aura. "This Blood Peak is indeed bizarre. The Green Bull Realm General was too greedy and ended up getting himself killed." The Blood Emperor World General murmured to himself, then flew away with the wind. In his view, since even the Green Bull Realm General died there, Lin Mo definitely couldn't survive. Rather than waste time here, it's better to find a place to go into seclusion and cultivate Asura Martial Techniques to obtain the top-notch Asura Inheritance of Tower 17.

...

Inside Blood Peak, Lin Mo lay on the ground with arms outstretched, his whole body limp, without even the strength to move a finger. He watched the Crimson Scale Creatures that had devoured the flesh and blood of the Green Bull Realm General with a sense of desolation in his heart.

Dozens of Crimson Scale Creatures had consumed the Green Bull Realm General's flesh, their eyes even redder, then turned to look at Lin Mo lying in the pile of rubble, stepping closer slowly on four hooves, with nothing but a cold, bloodthirsty glint in their beast eyes.

"Young friend, it's always the old man who comes to save you at critical moments." At this moment, unexpectedly to Lin Mo, the Dongling World Lord appeared, floating on a white cloud nearby. The Dongling World Lord, dressed in white, lay on the soft white cloud and said with a smile.

"Save me?" Lin Mo's mouth revealed a slightly bitter smile.

Dongling World Lord now only had a residual soul left; how could he save himself?

"Come!"

At this time, Lin Mo saw the Space Ring on his finger light up, and a Great Wilderness Stele about half a foot in size appeared, floating in mid-air.

The ancient Netherworld Patterns on the stele shimmered with purple light, strands of purple light draped down, enveloping Lin Mo within.

"Great Wilderness Stele?"

Lin Mo was momentarily stunned. Those Crimson Scale Creatures that were slowly approaching him all stopped in their tracks, looking at the Great Wilderness Stele with slight apprehension, and then, after a full three seconds of hesitation, scattered like birds and beasts, leaping towards the surrounding rocks, their figures swiftly retreating, seemingly very afraid of the

Great Wilderness Stele.

"Phew!" Lin Mo let out a heavy sigh of relief, feeling as though he had come back from Ghost Gate; he hadn't expected that at the critical moment, it was this Great Wilderness Stele that saved his life.

Afterward, Lin Mo suddenly understood.

His Netherworld Technique Dragon Coffin, together with the Great Wilderness Stele, had the effect of 'purifying' the Blood Evil Qi, and the key to this was the Great Wilderness Stele, no wonder those Crimson Scale Creatures were somewhat afraid of the Great Wilderness Stele.

At this moment, Lin Mo was also surprised to discover that the purple light shimmering from the ancient Netherworld Patterns on the Great Wilderness Stele actually isolated the permeating Blood Fog around, forming a ring of purple light that blocked the Blood Fog from flowing in.

"I should have known I didn't need to resist so hard!" Lin Mo's mouth revealed a kind of 'escape from death' smile.

"Kid, with the protection of this Great Wilderness Stele, the surrounding Blood Fog cannot break through, so you can properly recover." Dongling World Lord said.

Lin Mo nodded towards him, then sat cross-legged and started consuming a few Immortal Fruits, focusing his mind, and began to recover his True Yuan. This recovery lasted for a full day, then Lin Mo managed to restore the True Yuan inside him to about seventy to eighty percent, his body also adapted to the rapidly increasing Evil Qi. Lin Mo could feel that his physical body had become much stronger again, which might be related to the Blood Fog seeping into his skin.

Opening his eyes, Lin Mo stood up and looked at the strange mountain peak.

"The Green Bull Realm General died inside Blood Peak, and the Blood Emperor World General likely thought I also perished and has probably left." Lin Mo thought to himself. He did not want to stay on this Blood Peak; if the Blood Emperor World General had left, he also wanted to leave Blood Peak as soon as possible.

"Kid, are you so eager to leave? This Blood Peak is a treasure." Dongling World Lord lay on the white cloud and laughed when he saw Lin Mo waking up.

"A treasure? This Blood Peak is a treasure?" Lin Mo's eyes widened. This Blood Peak, while blocking the Blood Emperor World General, nearly got him killed inside, and also those Crimson Scale Creatures were bizarre and formidable; he just wanted to leave early.

"Look beside you!" Dongling World Lord said. Lin Mo heard this and turned his head with slight confusion, only to see the Blood Demon Vine floating next to him, several vines extending beyond the purple light circle emitted by the Great Wilderness Stele, actually absorbing the Blood Fog, and the color of the Blood Demon Vine had also become darker red, while its size kept growing.

"What's going on?" Lin Mo was astonishingly surprised.

Dongling World Lord said: "Do you know what this Blood Peak is?"

Lin Mo shook his head.

"This Blood Peak gathers countless Blood Evil Qi; in simpler terms, it's a giant Evil Essence." Dongling World Lord's words made Lin Mo's scalp tingle. This mountain peak, which stretches tens of thousands of miles, was actually a giant Evil Essence. Dongling World Lord floated in front of Lin Mo, nodded, and said, "Yes, this Blood Peak is the place where all the Blood Evil Aura of the Asura Tower is gathered, absorbing the killing intent, Blood Energy, and Evil Qi of the Asura Battlefield, accumulated inside the Asura Tower across numerous

eras, it's not impossible for it to condense an Evil Essence as large as a mountain peak." Lin Mo swallowed a mouthful of saliva; this Blood Peak was unexpectedly the place where the Blood Evil Aura of Tower 17 in the Asura Tower was gathered. No wonder the Blood Fog was so dense and constantly seeping into the skin, making it feel as if one's strength was increasing. Actually, this was an illusion.

If too much Blood Fog gathers, the body cannot digest it, and the mind cannot bear it; one would directly lose consciousness and become a monster.

"Crimson Scale Creature!" Lin Mo immediately thought of the bizarre Blood Beasts that had appeared the previous day.

At this time, the Blood Demon Vine had already absorbed a considerable amount of Blood Fog. It had recovered completely from the one-third loss inflicted by the Blood Emperor World General's Futu Tower the day before, and its terrifying healing and regeneration ability made the Blood Demon Vine like a tiger with wings, facilitated by the Blood Fog. "Those Evil Essences were likely condensed by Blood Peak and then released to the Asura Battlefield for us to compete for." Lin Mo straightened out his thoughts and widened his eyes, saying: "Right, we cultivators can devour Evil Essence to refine the Asura Body, and the Blood Demon Vine can also

absorb Evil Essence to refine the Asura Body."

Treasures inside organisms are not rare in the universe, but Evil Essence is extremely precious; who would give their Magic Treasure Evil Essence to devour.

But here, there is an endless Blood Fog, and this Blood Peak alone is equivalent to at least a billion Evil Essences; right now, the last thing lacking is Evil Essence.

Secondly, the Blood Demon Vine has no 'real soul', need not undergo 'mental state tests'; as long as its 'body' can withstand the Evil Essence, it can indulge in absorbing the Blood Evil Fog without reservation.

"Haha, it's indeed a treasure!" Lin Mo suddenly laughed out loud, with a bold idea in his heart.

"Blood Demon Vine, absorb to your heart's content!" Blood Demon Vine was a treasure Lin Mo snatched from the Hongmen Ancestor; over the years, Blood Demon Vine had devoured plenty of beasts' blood and flesh, constantly growing and evolving, now it is comparable to a high-level world-level treasure. Lin Mo had always wanted to have Blood Demon Vine evolve to the realm of Extreme Dao

Magic Treasure, but unfortunately, it has always lacked an opportunity, perhaps this time it would be the perfect opportunity.

"Demon Spirit Holy Milk." Lin Mo watched as the Blood Demon Vine greedily extended dozens of thick vines, the Blood Fog gushing into the vines, greedily absorbed by the Blood Demon Vine. But the load Blood Fog imposed on the 'body' was also high; thinking of the Demon Spirit Holy Milk obtained from the 'Bali Bata' brothers, Lin Mo immediately took it out.

"Evolve! Blood Demon Vine!" A small vine extended out, curling around the bottle containing Demon Spirit Holy Milk, sweeping away.
