Chapter 2384: Madre Bloody Shadow

Zhang Ruochen stepped on the stone steps again. He was surprised to find that although the tree in a girl’s form had changed, the pressure on him was not as great as the last time.

The tree’s disturbance to his spiritual power was also minimal.

But another strange power was affecting his spiritual power and judgment, leading him to approach the stone coffin step by step.

Zhang Ruochen clearly sensed this power. However, as if he lose his mind, he couldn’t stop himself from moving forward. At this moment, he was like a donkey with a carrot hanging in front of his eyes.

To eat the carrot, he could not control himself to move forward.

Of course, other than the mysterious power that was guiding him, his subjective consciousness too wanted to approach the stone coffin. Without this consciousness, no matter how strong the guide was it couldn’t do anything to him.

“Who is it? Who is guiding me?”

The circulation of the five elements in Zhang Ruochen’s body was faster.

The chaotic brilliance turned into a five-colored cloud and wrapped around his body.

The power of Earth surged out of the stone coffin and rushed into his body continuously. However, it was like dense invisible threads that pulled his body.

Finally, Zhang Ruochen walked to the bottom of the tree beside the stone coffin.

The tree in the shape of a young girl was graceful and moving. It was so beautiful that it could make one’s soul tremble. However, when one looked at it up close, one realized that her body was actually 120 feet tall.

The sound of her heartbeat was as shocking as thunder, but Zhang Ruochen was not affected at all.

The stone coffin was more than 100 feet long. It was magnificent and emitted strong ancient charm. It was like a rectangular stone palace. One could only feel the impact when they came close.

Zhang Ruochen stood next to the stone coffin. His body was not even one-fifth of the height of the stone coffin.

The aura from the girl-shaped tree was far less terrifying than the last time, but it still suppressed Zhang Ruochen. It was as if he was carrying a rock on his back.

Many gods could not give him such great pressure.

Under such pressure, flying was just wishful thinking.

“The bloody footprints extend to the bottom of the stone coffin. Yan Zhexian must have been here. Where did she go? Did she enter the stone coffin?”

“Grow!”

“Grow!”

“Grow!”

He shouted three times in a row.

Zhang Ruochen resisted the pressure and his body grew three times.

Finally, he became 50 feet tall and turned into a giant.

He looked into the stone coffin through the opening. Suddenly, he felt a strong sense of dizziness. His spirit, Saint Soul, and body seemed to have fallen into a whirlpool. His body fell into the stone coffin uncontrollably.

“Oh no.”

Zhang Ruochen’s hand desperately grabbed the stone coffin and urged the power in his body with all his strength.

He felt danger. The stone coffin was like the mouth of a demon. Once he fell, he would be devoured until there were no bones left.

A beautiful song rang in his ears.

The song came from above and came out of the tree in the shape of a girl.

“So the power that lured me here was her. I’m afraid that Yan Zhexian has also fallen into her trap.” Zhang Ruochen gritted his teeth and mobilized his spiritual power and the Heart of Truth, he resisted the illusory sound and hypnotic power contained in the song.

Logically speaking, if Yan Zhexian’s spiritual power was strong, she could restrain Bloody Shadowseed. However, she was seriously injured. Therefore, making it extremely difficult for her to enter the core of the Earth.

It was even harder to get close to the stone coffin.

However, if the girl-shaped tree wanted to lure her into the stone coffin, all the obstacles would disappear.

“Go in. I don’t have much time. I need the blood of Immortal Vampires.”

A beautiful voice entered Zhang Ruochen’s ears.

The next moment, Zhang Ruochen felt his body being slapped. All his strength was scattered and he fell into the stone coffin.

Who was It?

Was it her?

“It’s over. It’s said that wealth comes from danger, but most people die in danger. Only a few people can get wealth. Did I lose this gamble?”

Zhang Ruochen knew how terrifying the tree in the girl’s form was. It wasn’t something he could fight with his current cultivation.

“I’m afraid my blood will be sucked dry by it.”

The stone coffin was only a few meters tall, but Zhang Ruochen had fallen for a long time and still hadn’t reached the bottom of the stone coffin.

Everything around him was dim yellow.

Powerful and pure Earth power continued to rush into his body.

Precepts of Earth and the five elements in his body were growing rapidly.

Finally, Zhang Ruochen saw a cloud of mist below. It was emitting black, white, gold, cyan, and red. The five elements power were moving in disorder.

In the center of the five-colored light was a beautiful figure with long hair. It was Yan Zhexian, whom Zhang Ruochen had been looking for.

She seemed to be floating in the water with her eyes closed.

“Does she also have Five-element Chaotic Neverwither Physique?” Zhang Ruochen asked.

Although Zhang Ruochen was shocked, he was not surprised.

Zhang Ruochen could find the materials to cultivate Five-element Chaotic Neverwither Physique, which are the five-element spiritual treasures, and Five-element Divine Objects. How could the huge Yanluo clan not find them?

Moreover, even the ninth Prince of Yunwu Commandery with such a weak physique could cultivate successfully. Yan Zhexian’s foundation was far stronger than his, so the difficulty of cultivation was much lower.

“It’s not Five-element Chaotic Neverwither Physique, but Five-element AzureTerra Neverwither Physique,” Yan Zhexian opened her eyes and said.

Zhang Ruochen thought that Yan Zhexian was dead, but he was shocked when he saw her suddenly speak.

Wait, something’s not right.

The woman in front of him was Yan Zhexian, and her voice was also her.

However, Zhang Ruochen felt unfamiliar. He felt an oppressive pressure. It was as if the person standing in front of him was not a Supreme Saint but a god.

The one who spoke was not Yan Zhexian.

Zhang Ruochen instinctively wanted to release Profound Spatial Dimension, the Realm-frame of Truth, and Null Time realm. However, he could not release any of them. He was extremely shocked.

How powerful was she?

Yan Zhexian said, “When cultivating the Five-elements physique, every cultivator has a different way. The Five-elements shaped everything in the world. They are unpredictable and have billions of forms.

“Just like a leaf, even with the same material, the Five-element have different ratios, thus its form would be different too. They can be green tender leaves, yellow withered leaves, or stone leaves buried underground.

“Five-element Chaotic Body is the strongest of the Five-elements physique.

“Chaos represents the world before the creation of Heaven and Earth. There was no space, no time, no everything.

“The fact that you can cultivate Five-element Chaotic Body is both a coincidence and a necessity driven by a certain force. There are too many traces of top elites on your body. It is a chess piece that countless people are playing. Some people want you to go east, some people want you to go west, some people want you to live, and some people want you to die. When the first chess player placed you on the chessboard, all the chess players had their eyes on you.

“In the chaos, there is no direction or fixed position. Your future depends on the chess players behind you and how well they could play the game.”

Zhang Ruochen said in a deep voice, “Who are you? Why are you telling me this? My future depends on me.”

“You can’t decide! The chess players behind you are all very powerful. No matter how hard you try, you can’t escape their chess game. You should be glad that you are still a useful chess piece,” Yan Zhexian said.

Zhang Ruochen gritted his teeth and blood seeped out.

Yan Zhexian said, “You don’t have to be so angry. In this game, many gods are not even qualified to be chess pieces. It is something to be proud of that you can play a role on the board.”

Zhang Ruochen said, “You know so much. It seems that you are also a chess player.”

“No, I am also a chess piece, and a discarded chess piece.” Yan Zhexian’s face showed a bitter self-mockery.

Zhang Ruochen was surprised. Why are you discarded when you’re so powerful.

How powerful must the chess player be to be able to control you?

Zhang Ruochen was smart, after all. He quickly adjusted his emotions and calmed down. “You’re the Bloody Shadowseed outside?”

“I’m Madre Bloody Shadow,” Yan Zhexian said.

Zhang Ruochen gasped. She was indeed a divine-level creature.

Yan Zhexian said, “I don’t have much time. I’m leaving this world. Do you have anything else to ask?”

“Is Five-element Chaotic Neverwither Physique really ranked first among the Five-element physiques?”

Zhang Ruochen didn’t believe it.

Because in the history of Kunlun’s field, there had been more than one Five-element Chaotic Body.

Cultivating the Five-element Chaotic Neverwither Physique didn’t seem too difficult. With Zhang Ruochen’s innate horrible physique, he could successfully cultivate once he found the Five-element spiritual treasure and Five-element Divine Object.

“I’ve said it before. It’s both a coincidence and a necessity that you can cultivate it successfully. With this physique, almost no other living creature could cultivate it successfully postnatal except for the disciples of the Zhang family in Kunlun’s field. As a disciple of the Zhang family, the exercises you cultivate should be the ancestral Trāyastriṃśa, right?” Yan Zhexian said.

Zhang Ruochen said, “Trāyastriṃśa? No, it’s not.”

Yan Zhexian snorted. “Trāyastriṃśa is ranked second on Taiyi Divine Techniques Rank. It’s not a secret in Celestial Court and Internal Court. What’s there to hide? In the past, your Zhang family’s patriarch, the Immovable Wisdom King, cultivated Trāyastriṃśa to Maṇicīrā level. He fought against the heavens without losing a single battle. Trāyastriṃśa ranking was created by him.”

The age of the Immovable Wisdom King was unknown, but from her tone, it seemed like she had seen him in person.

Zhang Ruochen had actually suspected that Empyrean Emperor Ming’s Scripture was a part of Trāyastriṃśa.

Therefore, he wasn’t particularly surprised to learn the truth.

“If you hadn’t cultivated such a divine technique, if your bloodline wasn’t special, how could you have successfully cultivated Five-element Chaotic Neverwither Physique?” Yan Zhexian asked.

Zhang Ruochen asked, “What is the fortuitous encounter of Immortal Vampires’ home planet? Why did you lure us here? Is there Pale Blood Soil here?”

Yan Zhexian said, “The first question is that the opportunity doesn’t belong to you, so you don’t have the right to know.

“The second question is that I lured this girl from Yanluo clan here because she has the Five-elements physique. Maybe she can withstand my powers after I die. I lured you here because you have the bloodline of Immortal Vampires

“As for the third problem, Pale Blood Soil is right in front of you.”

Zhang Ruochen understood that the fortuitous encounter of Immortal Vampires’ home planet was her, Madre Bloody Shadow.

She was about to die. Before she died, she wanted to find a creature with a Five-elements physique to accept her inheritance. She chose Yan Zhexian.

Zhang Ruochen was confused. “I have the Five-elements physique too. I’m stronger than her and have the bloodline of Immortal Vampires. Why can’t I accept your inheritance?”

Zhang Ruochen didn’t care much about the inheritance of Madre Bloody Shadow. After all, compared to the inheritance of Saint Monk Xumi, the latter was definitely stronger and more suitable for him.

However, he really couldn’t understand.

“You’re not suitable. You just need to provide blood. My time is up. Now, give me your blood!” Yan Zhexian said.

“Why on earth?”

A snow-white root wrapped around Zhang Ruochen’s body and pulled him to Yan Zhexian.

Yan Zhexian’s eyes softened quickly. The oppressive aura around him disappeared. The tree root of Madre Bloody Shadow wrapped around her. Streams of blood-red mist continuously surged into her body, converging towards her lower abdomen.

Yan Zhexian seemed to be in great pain. Her entire body trembled, and she let out an ear-piercing scream.

Madre Bloody Shadow’s voice rang out in this space. “After living for thousands of years, experiencing countless periods of time, and seeing all the good and evil in the world. In the end, I’ll still die.

“Master, you’re right. Pale Blood Soil can not allow any living creature or dead spirit to live forever. When it’s time to die, it will be destroyed. When it’s time to die, no matter how much it struggles, it will still die.

“I only hope that in the next life, I can continue to search for the answers you didn’t find back then, and also continue to search for you. Am I really just your sacrificed piece? I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it! You must have been killed by them!”

The voice completely disappeared.

The blood and Essence Qi in Yan Zhexian’s body all flowed towards her lower abdomen. It became even more painful, and her body gradually withered.

Finally, she bit Zhang Ruochen’s neck. She bit through his blood vessels and sucked his blood to make up for the loss of blood in her body.

Zhang Ruochen was tightly entangled by Madre Bloody Shadow’s roots. He couldn’t stop her at all.

Zhang Ruochen only felt pain and humiliation. His head was dizzy from the loss of blood.

For a moment, Zhang Ruochen thought of himself as a member of Immortal Vampires. He felt that he had humiliated Immortal Vampires. He was Immortal Vampires’ Scion, but he was bitten on the neck and sucked blood by a woman from Yanluo clan.

Was there anything more shameful than this?

What Zhang Ruochen didn’t realize was that the power of Madre Bloody Shadow, his blood, and Yan Zhexian’s blood had all gathered at Yan Zhexian’s lower abdomen.

Gradually, Yan Zhexian’s lower abdomen bloated as if she had been pregnant for months.

“No. If this continues, she will suck all the blood in my body,”

Zhang Ruochen was about to faint from Yan Zhexian’s suction. He couldn’t control himself anymore. He let out a long howl. Sharp teeth grew out of his mouth. Turning his head, he bit Yan Zhexian’s neck, his mouth full of blood.
