Chapter 784 - 784: Scheming 4

Puh chi.

A sound like a splash echoed out.

Zhang Rongfang's eyes brightened. He had already rushed out of the space channel and entered a vast planet where the earth was completely a sea of magma.

The sky was dominated by the white pupil, occupying all vision.

The ground was no more, gone, leaving only the white magma that had long been dissolved.

The temperature in the sky had soared to tens of thousands of degrees. At such temperatures, almost nothing could survive.

Zhang Rongfang was enveloped in dark aura; the temperature of tens of thousands of degrees naturally meant nothing to him.

His goal this time was to search for numerous souls from other planets.

But under such circumstances, how could he find the so-called powerful souls?

After pondering for a moment, he stretched out a hand, and a faint black and red halo lit in his palm.

"Since it's like this, anyway, this world is already beyond saving. Then...."

Instantly, the black and red in his palm violently twisted and expanded.

With a tearing loud roar.

Centered around Zhang Rongfang, the surrounding space suddenly spread out with a giant circle of red light.

The red light, like ripples, quickly off spreading to all directions.

Wherever it passed, everything was dyed red.

Be it magma, air, even space, the celestial light released by the white pupil, everything was instantly dyed red.

The red ripples quickly expanded, faster and faster.

The diameter grew from hundreds of kilometers to thousands, tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, millions, eventually covering this slightly smaller unfamiliar planet than the one where Great Spirit is located.

Just twelve short minutes.

This originally white, soon-to-be-melting planet was completely dyed red.

"Be reborn, my minions...." Zhang Rongfang spread his arms.

Previously killed by a single sword from Long, many blood fairies, blood lotuses, and numerous highly transformed Blood Alliance experts.

At this time, their souls soared from the ghost mansion, gushing out like a fountain from his back.

Countless souls quickly dyed red under the polluted abyssal power and gained much higher resistance than before.

Zhang Rongfang's eyes were pitch black, and a black fissure slowly split open at his brow.

With a thought, using the abyssal authority, he bestowed the bloodlines of fiery demons upon all subordinates before him piece by piece.

In the entire planet's abyssalized environment.

These souls swiftly plunged into the magma sea.

Not long after, their spirit bodies began to absorb massive amounts of high heat magma.

The bloodline belonging to fiery demons started changing from virtual to real, merging into their spirit bodies.

Boom!!

The first massive fiery demon, towering over a hundred meters, emerged from the magma sea, howling skyward with newfound joy.

Following was the second, the third....

Countless fiery demons emerged from the magma sea, shouting excitedly at their rebirth.

"Go, find the hidden powerful soul in this world, give them hope of life!" Zhang Rongfang transmitted with his mind.

"Yes, Daoist Ancestor!"

All fiery demons dived, quickly exploring the depths of the planet.

And Zhang Rongfang floated in mid-air, carefully sensing the situation of this world.

At this moment, his abyssal completeness had increased to 82%.

This was the progress achieved after devouring almost half of the Sea of Oblivion, but still insufficient, far from enough.

The descent of the white pupil was imminent.

Now Zhang Rongfang closed his eyes, sensing with all his might, he could already vaguely sense some things outside this world, this planet.

At this stage, his soul perception was already enough to escape the body for a considerable distance.

As his consciousness soared rapidly, surpassing the atmosphere, breaking free from gravity, extending towards a direction away from the white pupil.

Soon, not knowing how far he flew, until before his eyes, it was all a pitch-black starry sky.

Only then Zhang Rongfang suddenly stopped, then turned back.

Behind him.

A gigantic white star was releasing massive amounts of light and heat.

Its burning flames constantly shot a blurred web skyward.

That's the white pupil.

Around the white pupil, there were twelve planets of different colors very close to it.

Some were brown, some were black, but most were white.

These planets were almost equidistant from the white pupil, revolving around it continuously, like inexorably trapped fish, also rotating, attempting to escape this vast gravitational net.

Zhang Rongfang slightly sensed, then distinguished the location of the magma planet he was currently on, and the location of the planets where Great Spirit and Long resided.

'So, am I technically breaking free from the white pupil's restraint with my consciousness?' he thought hesitantly.

Yet, as the planets continued to orbit and rotate.

The things Zhang Rongfang could see also increased.

He simply gazed at the white pupil and the twelve surrounding planets from afar in the starry sky.

But less than ten minutes later, as the magma planet circled to the other side of the white pupil, Zhang Rongfang suddenly paused slightly.

'That is....!?' His eyes slowly widened, seemingly seeing something incredible.

Surface.

Countless celestial lights cast down, resembling a dense forest.

This is Evil Forest State, also the least explored area on the planet's surface.

Hiss.

A space distortion suddenly appears, from which a bald woman in a white robe flies out. It's Lord La who just escaped from the Eye of the Earth.

As soon as she emerges, she waves her hand to carve a new space rift, ready to dive into it.

But before she enters the fissure.

A large amount of golden dust rapidly falls from afar, creating golden waterfall-like streaks.

"Sword of Heavenly Doom Molecules!" Long's voice resonates through the space, transmitting across the entire Evil Forest State.

"You can't escape, La."

In a flash, La rushes into the rift at full speed, narrowly avoiding being brushed by the golden dust.

The space rift instantly explodes into fragments, completely obliterated by the golden powder.

Several hundred kilometers away, another space suddenly twists and splits open, from which La's figure emerges.

But before she can take a breather, massive amounts of golden powder surround her again.

She hastily opens another space rift, continuing her teleportation.

Escape after escape, teleportation after teleportation. La simply doesn't dare to confront Long head-on.

Having witnessed the bloodline king and Long's fierce battle all those years ago, she clearly knows that in terms of direct combat, she is far inferior to the Blood King, let alone facing Long.

So her goal from the beginning is clear: to escape!

She is not as strong as the Blood King in direct combat, but she specializes in space, a skill even the Blood King can't match.

Using space teleportation to stall for time, waiting for the right moment, this is her plan.

And the moment she's waiting for... within the time she has stalled Long, it will soon arrive.

Very soon!

Yuan City, Celestial Curtain Pavilion.

In front of the cold and deserted gates of the Celestial Curtain Pavilion, a team of black-clad individuals in full protective suits quietly arrives.

This group of black-clad individuals stops at the gate, looking up to carefully identify the plaque.

"This is the place." One person murmurs.

"Is this really the origin of the Bloodline Clan that was sealed two hundred years ago?" Another person asks deeply, a hint of intense curiosity in his words.

"Legend has it that the Bloodline Clan was once a colossal force on par with Chana Tower, flourishing immensely on the Earth. But is it really true?" The third person voices skepticism.

"I think it's false. Everyone knows how formidable Chana Tower is. Many forces like to compare themselves to it to show their strength, but in reality, they're leagues behind." The leading person replies.

"However, we must follow orders. Let's go."

This person takes the lead, moving forward to push open the slightly run-down door, entering the hall.

The group of black-clad individuals steps into the hall, immediately spotting purple crystals obstructing the passage on the ground.

"Where's the unsealing device?" The leader reaches back with a hand.

One of the black-clad individuals in the back pulls out a triangular brass tool seemingly composed of countless tiny parts from his backpack.

The leader receives the tool and presses it against the purple crystal.

"Lord La said just to place it over here."

"Are you sure?" Another person questions deeply. "The situation is very dangerous now, Lord La is being hunted everywhere, no other force can face Long head-on, our time is limited!"

"I'm sure that's what Lord La instructed. But..." The person pauses, "Even if unsealed, what can it do? The Blood King was easily defeated by Long back then, even if he resurfaces, it's futile...."

"Having an extra force is better than none. Just like the other teams did." The leader replies.

Yet as he watches the purple crystal, there's a peculiar stillness in its complete lack of movement.

"Lord La said as long as the Blood King still lives, he will undoubtedly discover this unsealing device, which is a signaling device to transmit outside information inside. But now... there's no reaction at all...!? Could it be??" One person expresses concern.

"We've done what we had to, the rest is beyond our control or ability. Withdraw!"

"Perhaps... the Blood King has already fallen... no longer existent...."

The team of black-clad individuals quickly retreats from the hall, and before departure, the leader glances back at the purple crystal with a mix of emotion and helplessness.

Quickly, the team vanishes from the Celestial Curtain Pavilion, shutting the door and quietly leaving.

Only the unsealing device remains, silently emitting stable pulse signals, penetrating the purple crystal, into the Great Spirit Interactive Area.

The signals, invisible on the ground, transform into a white light upon entering Great Spirit, shooting towards Wish Girl Gorge, Human Immortal Cave.

The white light crosses mountains, seas, forest towns, soon arriving at the picturesque Wish Girl Gorge.

Then, with a swoosh, it penetrates the space, silently entering the interior of the Human Immortal Cave, gradually manifesting over the Blood Pool.

Buzz!

A continual hum resounds.

But at this very moment, the Human Immortal Cave stands empty. No one notices the peculiarities that have emerged.

At this time, Zhang Rongfang is far away on another planet, seeking out and hiding more powerful souls, completely oblivious to what's unfolding here.

Having discovered that perfecting the abyss and devouring soul bodies offers far more enhancements than soaking in the Blood Pool, Zhang Rongfang nowadays seldom returns to the Human Immortal Cave, mostly relying on other means to communicate with the Bloodline.

Now, within the Human Immortal Cave, the Blood Pool has long dried up, everything silent and still.
