Refining the Mountains and Rivers

Chapter 1195: Blood Sucking



Chapter 1195: Blood Sucking

By crossing the sea and arriving at the other shore, one could achieve the Great Dao and become a Saint. But, that didn’t mean Saints were free from all scruples.

How vast was this world, how majestic and magnificent was it? Even the supreme boundary of Ruler that existed in countless rumors and stood above all, could not truly do whatever they wanted.

Everyone was bound by their own shackles!

Shattering a world with a single thought and killing a trillion lives wasn’t something that was too difficult for a Saint. But in doing this, they would have to withstand the punishment that came from the world’s source.

Exactly what that was, only those at the Saint boundary knew. But in the endless river of time, few Saints had ever done this. It could be imagined how severe the punishment was.

When the thoughts of seven great Saints arrived at the Profound Vision World, this wasn’t to destroy the world but to find fluctuations of the Space Laws and the cultivators they sent here.

But as the mystic realm shattered, all their auras were annihilated, disappearing from sight. Even the senses of Saints couldn’t find any traces left behind.

Then there was only one explanation. All of the cultivators within the mystic realm, including the one who had grasped the Space Laws, had perished along with the mystic realm.

The seven Saints fell silent.

Before today, they never imagined that such a result would occur. The strength of the spirit body born in the Land of Disorder was much greater than they anticipated.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible to drag everyone down with them, completely killing them all.

With a sigh, the thoughts of the seven Saints dispersed. If this was the case, all they could do was find the corpse of the spirit body that was swept away in the spatial flow. Since the spirit body was stronger than they imagined, the usefulness of the corpse should also be better.

The dao of Saints was heartless…this wasn’t completely heartlessness or lack of emotion. Rather, they could eliminate the interference of unnecessary emotions and make the most rational and correct decision.

Since staying here was worthless, there was no need to waste any more time and energy on this place. The terrifying pressure that flooded the Profound Vision World retreated like a falling tide.

The moment the realm within a realm shattered, an imprisoning aura erupted in the bodies of the six cultivators, completely blocking their strength.

This was a true seal; they couldn’t even move a single finger. Even though they were frightened and angered, there was nothing these ‘second generation cultivators’ could do as they fell into endless darkness.

Submerged in the darkness, they couldn’t move at all. But their consciousnesses were still awake, so their sense of horror and fear became even more vivid.

Although they had no idea what had happened, when they calmed down and thought about it, they all knew where the question was. The strength that erupted within their bodies and imprisoned them should have been related to the treasures they absorbed, and even the human beads they swallowed.

They originally thought that after eliminating the spirit body in the realm within a realm, even if something was wrong with their bodies, it would end with the spirit body’s death…mm, this wasn’t right!

The six imprisoned people all felt panic and shock. Had they really killed the spirit body? If so, then who was the one doing this?

If the spirit body hadn’t died…just thinking about this left their hearts cold!

But that was fine. There was still hope. The mystic realm was already destroyed and the Saints would definitely sense what was happening in the Profound Vision World.

As long as they took action, even if the realm within a realm’s spirit body had some contingency plan, it would be destroyed and they would naturally be saved.

Yes, that was it!

Within the darkness, they couldn’t feel any light. It was like being forever banished, all concepts becoming blurred.

Even though each breath of time passed slowly, their consciousnesses were still clear and they could judge the passage of time.

One breath of time, two breaths of time…five breaths, six breaths…ten breaths…20 breaths…

The six cultivators tried to remain calm, but their hearts started to beat faster and faster. This was because the Saints didn’t come to rescue them.

How could this be? Did the Saints abandon them?

That was impossible. Not to mention their own value, the Saints would never give up on the spirit body which likely hadn’t died yet.

Unless…the Saints weren’t able to find them.

As this thought appeared, everyone felt their hearts sink. As people that were close to Saints, they obviously understood how Saints normally acted.

If they couldn’t find them, the Saints would surely believe they had died. If they were dead then they had no value, and the Saints would not waste any more time here.

In other words, at this time, it was feasible that the Saints had already left.

If this was true…

Suddenly, there were clicking sounds in the darkness. It was like shriveled and aching joints suddenly started moving.

Kacha –

Kacha –

More and more sounds spread into everyone’s ears, along with the sound of slight rustling on the ground. They had no idea what happened, until there was a sudden gasp of breath in the darkness.

It was like a person who had been buried in the ground suddenly drilled their way out. That urgent sense of taking a full breath was filled with joy and haste.

What followed it was the sound of a rising and falling chest, like two dried branches rubbing against each other.

Pa –

Pa –

There was the sound of footsteps. Ruan Jing desperately tried to restore his freedom, but the strength that imprisoned him showed no signs of response.

Suddenly, he felt something grab onto him. He was lifted into the air, and the sounds of loud breathing came from right next to his ear.

There was a sudden fierce pain in his neck. Ruan Jing’s eyes filled with horror. This was because he had been bitten. His heartbeat accelerated beyond his control, forcing blood to gush out from the wound.

Gulp –

Gulp –

The deep swallowing sounds were incomparably clear in the darkness.

Ruan Jing could feel his strength crazily draining away as blood left his body.

No, I don’t want to die!

As his blood and strength were plundered away, the imprisoning power slightly weakened. It seemed that this imprisoning power had become one with Ruan Jing, and changed as he grew stronger or weakened.

He barely managed to make a ‘woo’ sound with his mouth. He struggled to raise his hands, but it felt like two mountains were hanging off of them and he couldn’t lift them at all.

The other five people felt even greater panic within the darkness. From the sounds they heard, they were sure that the one being attacked was Ruan Jing.

The gulping and slurping noises filled the air. Although they couldn’t see anything, the smell of blood that flooded their senses told them everything they needed to know.

The unknown existence in the darkness was swallowing Ruan Jing’s blood!

Pa –

Something heavy landed on the ground.

The good news was that Ruan Jing hadn’t been killed yet. But, he was weakened to the extreme. They could hear his frail gasps of breath in their ears.

Him not being directly killed was a good thing, because what Ruan Jing experienced just now was likely something they could not escape.

Who would be next?

After a long time, as a shroud of unknown terror covered them, striking their frayed nerves, the thing in the darkness didn’t attack anyone else…it had likely eaten its fill and needed time to digest.

To everyone here, this was certainly good news!

Now was the chance to get out. From the breathing just now, they knew that this unknown existence was also in a weakened state. As long as they could break free from their imprisonment, they could reverse the situation!

Time quietly passed in the deathly silence. The remaining five others tried everything they could to regain control of their strength.

But what a pity, it was all meaningless.

What left them crestfallen and desperate was that the strength imprisoning them was their own.

To imprison themselves, how ridiculous did this sound? But it was the truth.

There were further sounds of movements. Judging by the footsteps, that unknown existence in the darkness was much livelier than before.

Everyone’s hearts sank. After swallowing Ruan Jing’s blood, it had clearly restored itself by a great deal.

Not me! Don’t choose me!

Zhou Lei’s neck tightened and he couldn’t help but curse out loud in his mind. He thought that he could understand it if that unknown existence chose to suck Ruan Jing’s blood first. After all, that kid was a bad person, so cunning and evil that he probably had sores on his feet and head. It was bad luck for the world if he survived.

But I, Zhou Lei, am righteous and merciful, filled with love for the world, so why am I the second one? Unfortunately, even if he wanted to protest he couldn’t. And even if he could, it wouldn’t work.

With a pain in his neck, blood surged out. Zhou Lei immediately tasted what Ruan Jing experienced not too long ago.

As blood spewed out, his strength was plundered. He rapidly weakened. While the imprisoning strength faded by over half, he simply didn’t have the strength left over to move.

After an unknown period of time, as Zhou Lei’s consciousness blurred and he thought he was going to be sucked to death, he was tossed to the ground.

His head buzzed. For the first time, Zhou Lei thought that falling unconscious was also a wonderful thing.

There were no more sounds of movement in the darkness.

After drinking from a second person, that existence in the darkness started to rest again.

The bad news was that the time it spent resting this time was much shorter than before.

It seemed that as it restored some strength, its ability to absorb and digest had also risen.

The third to suffer bad luck was the Transcendent Sword cultivator.

An accident also occurred at this moment.

Hum –

There was the cry of a sword. It was soon accompanied by a pained growl and the sound of flesh being cut off.

The thing that sucked wildly on Soaring Sky’s neck never imagined that as blood spewed out, there would also be sword intent.

As a sword cultivator genius, Soaring Sky had tempered his body like a sword. He had long since merged his flesh and blood with his sword dao.

His blood was also his sword!

Although his strength was imprisoned and he couldn’t drive it, if this unknown existence took the initiative to suck out his sword intent, it would certainly be injured.

But soon, Soaring Sky paid the price for this. There was a heavy striking sound in the darkness, followed by breaking flesh and blood.

The scent of blood in the air immediately thickened.

Soul Hook was the fourth.

Then it was the spear-wielding cultivator.

Finally it was Rice Paper.

This disciple of Half-Saint Folded Kite was sucked for the longest time. When she fell back down, almost all her blood had been drawn out from her body.

When she was tossed to the ground, she feebly gasped for breath. It seemed she could die at any moment.

Pa –

With a light cracking sound, a candle was lit up in the darkness. The light dispelled the darkness a little. Although it wasn’t bright, it was enough for the cultivators to see who the person holding the candle was.

Eyes widened with shock and disbelief. Yun Shi stood there naked, not caring at all that her entire body could be seen by everyone. As she welcomed their gazes, she curved her lips and smiled, “Everyone, I bet none of you imagined that it could be me!”

Her fair and exquisite flesh was dazzling beneath the candlelight. There was none of the gruesome and withered appearance she had before.

If it weren’t for the bloodstains that still marked the corners of her lips and hadn’t been wiped away yet, it would have been difficult to imagine that she was the one sucking everyone’s blood in the darkness.

Yun Shi, from start to finish, was a girl no one had paid much attention to. They never expected that she would appear here and control everyone’s life and death in her hands.
