The Invincible Supreme Medical God

Chapter 1405 - 723: Infinite Sect Master (Part 2)

As he flew further, everything seemed increasingly unfamiliar. It almost felt like he didn’t need to use any cultivation base power to fly. The wind carried him away.

He hadn’t seen any blood beasts, to the point where he started to wonder if they even existed here. The entire world, including the sky and land, was the color of blood. Plants, trees, mountains; everything seen by the naked eye was deep red.

In the distance was a blood-colored desert, at the end of which lay an oasis, also the color of blood, leading to the ocean.

In the middle of that ocean stood a mountain, its peak piercing through the clouds.

That mountain was the origin of the World Will; whichever cultivator climbed it first would earn the world’s recognition and blessing. After gaining the approval of the Blood Ancestor, that person could leave and qualify for the second stage.

Inside the Blood Ancestor, there were countless worlds, but Xue Mei and Song Junwan each brought twenty Dharma Protectors. In the end, out of the forty Dharma Protectors, only twenty qualified to proceed.

Clearly, the number of Dharma Protectors ultimately attained by Xue Mei and Song Junwan would decide who would have the advantage in the second stage.

Xue Mei’s Dharma Protector first entered the gap, and the person who chose this particular world was a cold-faced middle-aged man, eyes icy. His cultivation base fluctuations were those from the early days of Foundation Establishment; overall, he resembled a serpent, poised to strike at any moment. Clearly, anyone who appeared within his line of sight might face death.

This person was Jia Lie, who, concerning combat prowess, ranked among the top three in Xue Mei’s Dharma Protector group. He could completely outmatch Song Junwan’s Dharma Protector, except for one or two.

Though he appeared middle-aged, he was actually over a hundred years old. However, due to a unique technique he employed, his physique reached its peak. Additionally, during his Foundation Establishment interrogation, he managed to extend his lifespan by 60 years. He had reached five tides, possessed an incredibly formidable cultivation base, and was an adept assassin.

"To me, this world is like a paradise!" he thought, gazing into the distance. He was currently clutching a blood-colored sea serpent with his head. No matter how it struggled, it couldn’t free itself, and if Jia Lie wished, he could crush it instantly.

Jia Lie looked at the towering mountain not far away, completely ignoring the snake. He was already somewhat pleased with the first trial of the Blood Master’s test. Although he had just arrived in this vast world, he was relatively close to the World Will’s location.

In his eyes were reflections of a vast ocean and towering mountains, and pulse waves emanated from the mountains.

"Even if Song Junwan’s Dharma Protector is lucky, he can’t get as close as I can. I should seize the World Will now. I wouldn’t even need to kill other Dharma Protectors. Who knows, it might be Nightcrypt...?" he chuckled coldly. Originally, he had planned to kill Song Junwan’s Dharma Protector and then gain recognition from the World Will. But now it seemed unnecessary.

He moved in a trance, advancing rapidly into the mist-covered mountains over the bloodstained ocean. He acted cautiously, hence wasn’t surprised when a strong rumbling sound shook the area. Moments later, a gigantic blood-colored Giant Dragon flew out from the other side of the mountain, focused its gaze on Jia Lie, and quickly swooped toward him.

It was over 30 meters long and radiated an aura of murder.

Jia Lie felt an intense sense of crisis, beads of sweat forming on his forehead. He opened his eyes wide, "Impossible! How could such a blood beast exist in this place? Foundation Establishment cultivators can’t contend with such a creature!!!"

Even though he was astonished, more roars rang out as more blood beast auras exploded near the mountain. Like a strong gust, they churned the blood ocean, revealing its sight. Moments later, innumerable murderous eyes appeared beneath the water’s surface. There were too many; anyone witnessing them would be shocked.

Before Jia Lie could progress further, the blood beasts beneath the water, along with those on the mountain, attacked him.

The sheer number of beasts Jia Lie witnessed made his scalp tingle in shock and fear. He dared not proceed, actually stepping back. After retreating about 3,000 meters, the giant dragon slowly turned around, the other blood beast auras gradually fading, and even the creatures beneath the surface disappeared.

Jia Lie’s face was drenched in sweat, his breath tore through his pants. Although he was incredibly confident in his cultivation base, facing so many blood beasts intimidated him. After a while, he anxiously furrowed his brow.

"There’s so many blood beasts here, advancing won’t be easy. I suppose I just need to wait for the right opportunity to present itself before proceeding...." Gritting his teeth, he braced himself and found a hiding place to let time pass.

Over the next seven days, he witnessed several blood beasts come and go. Finally, killing intent erupted in his eyes.

"Enough. Things won’t change quickly. Rather than waiting, I’ll find Song Junwan’s Dharma Protector and kill him. Then, I’ll have plenty of time to wait. Perhaps, if lucky, my opponent will be Nightcrypt, and I can rid of him now to conserve some energy!" He chuckled coldly, staring at the blood behind him.

As a skilled assassin, he was naturally also a proficient hunter. He possessed keen insight; although the world he was in was vast, he believed that given his cultivation base, finding other Dharma Protectors wouldn’t be difficult.

He rose in a trance and began his search.

However, before he had gone far, the sea below boiled, and enormous blood beasts erupted from the depths. It had the torso of a human and the tail of a fish; once it appeared, it launched a bloodthirsty attack on Jia Lie.

After a brief battle, Jia Lie killed the beast and continued onward. Yet, he hadn’t gone far before two more beasts emerged from the water to attack him.

Meanwhile, Yan Xiaobao flew through the air, marveling at how strange and tranquil the world was. Despite having flown for days, he hadn’t encountered a single beast. Everything around him seemed empty.

He didn’t even need to use his cultivation base. The wind pushed him along. Certainly, the bizarre situation made him more vigilant than ever.

He thought: "This place is really peculiar. Where are Xue Mei’s Dharma Protectors? I wonder if he has laid an ambush for me since first arriving here." Remaining alert, he continued forward. Eventually, he reached the desert.

By then, Jia Lie was being chased by thousands of frenzied blood beasts, racing across the terrifying blood ocean to escape. His face was pale, his expression frightened.

"Damn it! Why are there so many blood beasts? I haven’t provoked them, yet they appear one after another! They are like a flood!!"

Soon, the tenth day passed. With the time lengthening, Yan Xiaobao increasingly felt as if something strange was occurring. He hadn’t even seen a trace of bloodshed, yet clearly remembered Song Junwan saying there were bloodthirsty creatures here. At this point, he began to doubt what was truly happening.

Eventually, he saw the desert’s end, where the blood-colored oasis and blood-colored ocean lay. His surprise and caution heightened.

Now, Jia Lie’s hair was disheveled, his skin waxy yellow, his eyes bloodshot. Ultimately, he dashed out of the ocean into the oasis. After numerous dangerous encounters, he had survived.

Reflecting on what had happened in the ocean filled him with awe and fear for the surrounding world.

"Having all these life-saving magics and items is fortunate, otherwise I might have perished. However, if things are so challenging for me, then Song Junwan’s Dharma Protector might face similar difficulties. In fact, he might have been swallowed by blood beasts already." He glanced back at the ocean, still overwhelmed with fear. Just as he was about to sit down to rest, his heart trembled, and he looked up to see a beam of light lazily flying past.

"Hmm?" Cold light flickered across Jia Lie’s eyes, and he swiftly controlled his cultivation base. Simultaneously, he produced a pearl, emanating soft, warm light, completely concealing his aura.
