Chapter 551 - 249: Sowing the Golden Lotus in the Sea of Blood; The Suspected Collective Disappearance of the Dragon Race

Not far from the East Sea, in an unknown mountain range.

This place is characterized by layers of blood shadows and surging demon qi.

A tall and sturdy figure uses blood evil qi as a guide, refining it into his body.

With just a casual punch, an endless sea of blood sweeps over the land.

In an instant, the lush trees around wither and decay; all the birds and beasts, demon races, and insects in the vicinity transform into skeletons, devoid of qi blood and vitality. The area covered by the sea of blood has completely turned into a silent wasteland, with not a trace of life present.

The Celestial Fire Demon God shivers inside the Life and Death Talisman.

Even though it’s not his first time seeing it, he still instinctively feels fear towards Lu Wenwu’s endless sea of blood.

That is blood evil qi condensed from more than a billion living beings!

Not to mention mortals, even a Low-tier Cultivator in the sea of blood would be turned into blood water in less than three quarters of an hour, completely merging into this sea of blood.

The Celestial Fire Demon God recalls the most powerful Peak Demon Venerable from the era when he still had a body.

That was a supreme being who failed to cross the tribulation, had no hope of ascension, but successfully cultivated into a Loose Immortal.

Although ultimately perishing in an attempt to forcibly open the Celestial Sect, he indeed suppressed an entire era.

But compared to the storm... compared to Brother Wu, the murderous deeds done by this Loose Immortal, who was half a step away from ascension, are not even worthy of being mentioned.

While the Celestial Fire Demon God is lost in thought, the sea of blood undergoes further changes.

In the blink of an eye, evil converges into a sea, blood condenses into force.

This sea of blood seems to merge entirely with Lu Wenwu, transforming into an immortal existence.

Both a source of power and the origin of life.

This reminds Lu Wenwu of the Nether River Ancestor from The Investiture of the Gods, said to be indestructible like the sea of blood.

He seems to have a touch of that flavor now.

Although unable to achieve the Nether River Ancestor’s level of rebirth from a drop of blood, using the sea of blood to amplify himself poses no issue.

Even if it’s just the most brutal addition, it is already extremely powerful.

At this moment, in this state, Lu Wenwu feels his purity has been elevated to an incredible level, as if he could punch through the heavens and earth, filled with a desire to destroy everything around him.

In the next moment, he forcibly suppresses this impulse to slaughter and destroy.

Endless merit qi blossoms around, pale golden merit lotuses bloom one after another.

Not a trace of the sea of blood remains, endless golden light transforms this place into a tranquil and harmonious paradise, like the legendary Heaven Buddha Country or Paradise.

Disregarding the surrounding desolation and dead wood, anyone would believe this to be a Buddhist Sect haven or Daoist Sect Holy Land, surely attracting cultivators from across the world to come for seclusion here.

Even more powerful than the sea of blood, the merit power is already wondrous without artificial refinement or manipulation.

Under the wash of merit lotus sea, even the last trace of negative aura belonging to slaughter and brutality is wiped clean, causing Lu Wenwu to unknowingly emit a divine golden radiance.

The mental impact brought by blood evil qi is too great, this special state absolutely cannot persist for long.

If held for a long time, his mind might be overwhelmed, and he might degenerate into a puppet knowing only slaughter and destruction.

If not for Lu Wenwu’s will being as hard as steel, he wouldn’t be able to withstand such a violent surge and would be overwhelmed in an instant.

And if he didn’t also possess a tremendous amount of merit power that could suppress blood evil qi and keep his soul eternally clear, his thoughts would undoubtedly be influenced.

Demonic Cultivators train with such power daily, being washed over by the far-reaching forces contained within blood evil qi year after year, their demeanor becomes bizarre, brutal, insane, and frightening, which is understandable.

Not to mention the sea of blood.

Even the Blood River Demon Venerable’s blood river is not something all Demonic Cultivators can control.

Previously, there were Demonic Cultivators of stunning talent who slaughtered a million souls to condense a blood river, and even in ancient times, top Demonic Dao magnates performed blood sacrifices of tens of millions of souls to condense a sea of blood, attempting to use it to break through thunder tribulations and enter the Demon Immortal Realm.

However, apart from the Blood Refining Demon Venerable back then and the current Blood River Demon Venerable, no one has succeeded.

The other Demon Cultivators have all been overwhelmed by the blood river before they could show their might, their souls scattered and dead.

Unfortunately, the terrifying sea of blood encounters Lu Wenwu, who also bears the Sea of Merit!

The coexistence of endless murderous deeds and endless merit is a treatment reserved for the Northern True Martial Emperor and Demon-Vanquishing Celestial Venerable from the legendary Celestial Court, even the Ten Hall Yama exclaims in amazement.

Lu Wenwu clenches his fist, feeling the power of the previous punch, a smirk unconsciously appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Although the purity hasn’t increased, after successfully cultivating the Blood Refining Battle Fist, his strength has already been greatly enhanced!

Next, as long as he can combine the sea of blood with the Military Killing Fist, ascending to an All-Methods Divine General is a certainty!

The previously unclear path has completely opened up because of the appearance of the Blood Refining Battle Fist.

Having delayed for a few days, it’s about time to check out the underwater world!

Previously, hearing from Celestial Fire about the underwater Dragon Palace, which cannot be seen by anyone but a True Dragon, he decides to see what’s going on today!

Lu Wenwu signals Mao Mao to transform into flame patterns, as the underwater environment is not suitable for it to perform.

Afterward, with a light tap of his toes, he leaps out.

Thousands of meters later, he dives straight towards the sea surface, experiencing a bit of excitement akin to diving.
