Longevity starts with learning.

Chapter 927 Blood Cave

The sky is dark and the earth is dead silent.

Chu Mu stood alone, his blue shirt fluttering in the fishy wind. The unspeakable loneliness and despair had already taken root in his heart and were difficult to dispel.

After a long time, Chu Mu seemed to come back to his senses. His consciousness flowed between heaven and earth. Strands of brown-red spiritual energy surged like a tide, and finally gathered in front of him, condensing into a brown-red blood ball.

Chu Mu sensed it for a moment, and it was as clear as ever.

The eroded spiritual energy is actually no different from the alienated spiritual energy, such as resentment and blood.

However, this demonic aura is even more chaotic and complicated.

Once a cultivator absorbs this demonic energy, it will be like a maggot on the heel. Not only will it be difficult to get rid of, but it will also erode the cultivator's magic power and soul.

Once it gets out of control, it will be like an infectious virus, and in a very short time, it will transform the cultivator into a demon with only bloodthirsty instincts.

The methods used by cultivators, whether they are spells, the supernatural powers of bloodline cultivators, or external objects such as magical instruments and treasures, are mostly based on their own magic power, communicating with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, thereby bursting out with powerful power.

The demon world has existed for many years, and this alienated demon aura has long since spread throughout the entire world of immortal cultivation as the demon world has expanded.

The only difference is whether the demonic aura in each place is strong or not.

The alienation of spiritual energy means that in this world of demons, the survival of low-level cultivators will become extremely difficult, let alone sending large-scale troops to recover lost territory.

And this is just one characteristic manifestation of the alienation of heaven and earth.

To him, perhaps it is just the most insignificant one.

After all, whether it was his Great Sun True Fire or his sword intent, refining alien energy could be said to be a piece of cake.

The most terrifying thing is the rejection and suppression of heaven and earth.

In just a dozen years, while living in the world of demons, the rejection and malice of heaven and earth have become almost nakedly obvious. The great power of heaven and earth that is characteristic of the Nascent Soul stage has been completely deprived in this world of demons.

Although for him, the impact was not that great.

After all, the sword's attack is unparalleled. Without the blessing of heaven and earth, although its power is damaged, it is by no means fatal. The key to the power of the Great Sun True Fire does not lie in heaven and earth, but in the true fire itself.

Furthermore, he still has puppets to protect him and has been guarding Tianyuan for more than ten years. With the help of the huge resources on the front line, he not only improved his Demon-Suppressing Army, but also further strengthened it.

Even in this world of demons, being besieged by many Nascent Soul demons, he can be said to be not afraid at all.

It was also because of his existence that whenever demons attacked, the nearly ten Nascent Soul demons outside the city did not dare to move at all, but only drove the low-level demons to fight soldier against soldier, and general against general.

Otherwise, with nearly ten Nascent Soul demons eyeing the city covetously, including a great Nascent Soul demon cultivator and three Nascent Soul middle-stage demons, Tianyuan City would probably have been razed to the ground long ago with only a few Nascent Soul early-stage elders guarding the city.

"I don't know...how long I can hold on..."

Chu Mu took a deep breath and smelled the strong smell of blood into his nose, but it did not bring a disgusting smell, but an indescribable peace.

The blood and killing still exist, which at least proves that the Tiannan immortal cultivation world still exists in this world.

The world of immortal cultivation has not been peaceful in recent years.

Under this demonic catastrophe, in just a dozen years, the entire world of immortal cultivation was almost turned upside down!

Ten years ago, several large tribes of monsters with fourth-level monsters in charge in the vast sea were destroyed by demons. In the Xingluo grassland, in just a dozen years, the once stable situation was completely broken, and several large tribes fell. The current situation is not much better than the Tiannan immortal cultivation world.

As for the more distant places, all connections have long been cut off in this chaotic world of demons and monsters, and we don't know what the situation is.

The Yanyun Mountains, which were once the heartland of the Changsheng Sect, are gradually turning into a front line due to the turmoil in the Xingluo Grassland.

Today's Tiannan immortal cultivation world, which starts from the Nine Cities on the Hill and ends at the Yanyun Mountains, is almost becoming an isolated island.

This isolated island is not stable, and can even be said to be shaky...

Even if the Tiannan immortal cultivation world is destroyed, with his cultivation strength, he may be able to survive for quite some time.

But what is the point of lingering on like this?
When demons invade a place, they will transform the entire world into an alien place.

The heaven and earth reject and even hate his existence. In this vast world, where can he find a place to stay?
"Let's take one step at a time..."

Chu Mu sighed, but did not forget the main purpose of his trip out of the city.

Three years ago, the alienation of this world has reached a new level.

Any living creature that dies in this world will be swallowed by it. Apart from the smell of blood whose source cannot be found, there will be no trace left.

Although the principle is still unclear, it is obvious that this must be related to the demon's blood sacrifice ritual. As for the purpose of the blood sacrifice...

Judging from the increasingly serious changes in heaven and earth in recent years, it is not difficult to see the influence of blood sacrifice.

During the past three years, he had tried many times to solve this problem, but unfortunately, perhaps because his cultivation was not good enough, he could not understand the mystery.

We can only use some clumsy methods to curb the demons' blood sacrifice momentum.

This stupid method was actually simple. He secluded himself for several months and set up a large teleportation array outside Tianyuan City with the structure of the teleportation array as the core.

Any living being that dies within a ten-mile radius outside the city will be moved to Tianyuan City the moment of death.

In order to prevent demons from faking their deaths to hide from the detection of the teleportation formation, he opened up a blood cave in the city, and in the blood cave, he set up a fourth-order mid-grade blood evil formation.

The massive amount of blood accumulated over the years has formed a bloody evil force. Any living creature that breaks into it, even a great demon in the Nascent Soul stage, will probably lose a layer of skin if he wants to come out alive.

However, when defending the city, the large teleportation formation set up outside the city would naturally be often destroyed by demons.

However, this teleportation formation is closely related to the Tianyuan City defense formation, and the area is only ten miles in range. Once a war breaks out, it will be within the firepower coverage of Tianyuan City. It is not easy for the demons to completely destroy this teleportation formation.

At most, it would only destroy a few forbidden nodes in the formation, which would hardly affect the overall formation.

Normally, he wouldn't need to personally repair the formation, but this teleportation formation was after all outside Tianyuan City and was related to the Tianyuan City defense formation.

If it is handed over to others to repair, they will definitely be able to glimpse the mystery of the shifting formation, and even the inner truth of the city defense formation.

Although there are no demons hiding in Tianyuan City, the demon catastrophe has been coming for so many years, and people's hearts are agitated. Some despair and collapse, some flee and hide, and naturally the appearance of strange human traitors is inevitable.

Not to mention, in recent years, after being blocked in the Nine Hills Cities, the demons have spared no effort in winning over the immortal cultivators in the Nine Hills Cities.

The price offered even included blood sacrifices to infuse the body, improve cultivation, transform into a demon race to retain intelligence and other heavy promises.

Moreover, these solemn promises, at least those that appear to have been kept on the surface, have also been put into practice.

The human heart is unpredictable. He is guarding Tianyuan, and moving the formation is related to the safety of Tianyuan City, so it is naturally difficult to let others do it.

Chu Mu was repairing the teleportation formation that was damaged in the battle in an unsteady manner. Rays of spiritual light flickered in this demonic world, and the looming formation slowly disappeared in the wet mud. Even a Nascent Soul demon would find it difficult to detect any traces if he was not good at formations.

It took Chu Mu several hours to repair the teleportation formation outside Tianyuan City.

When the last ray of spiritual light fell, Chu Mu habitually threw out a demon corpse, blessed by the spiritual light, enveloped by his spiritual consciousness, and looked directly at it with his naked eyes.

Without activating the teleportation formation, in just a few breaths, the demon's corpse disappeared from his perception like melting ice and snow, and it was difficult to detect even the slightest trace.

Chu Mu shook his head and stopped worrying about it.

With a leap, he turned into a ray of light that cut through the dark sky and disappeared into the city.

The Blood Cave is located in the garrison in the center of the city. Every time a corpse moves in, it will be refined by the Blood Evil Array and turned into sticky blood that flows into the Blood Cave.

After years of killing, the number of lives lost is already countless. This blood cave, which is hundreds of feet wide and thousands of feet deep, has long been filled with a huge amount of blood.

Covered by the blood evil formation, no one else could get close. In the huge blood cave, there were only two figures floating in the blood, absorbing the huge amount of blood energy.

The corpse puppet is only at the third level of perfection. Even though it has been absorbing blood energy in this blood pool for several years, its cultivation has not improved at all. It is almost impossible to expect it to break through to the fourth level.

Chu Mu glanced at it but didn't pay too much attention. The potential of the corpse puppet was limited. Although the flesh body was unparalleled, for him now, if he didn't reach the fourth level, this corpse puppet would be meaningless.

Compared with the embarrassing position of the corpse puppet, Wangcai, a fourth-order monster, is much more conspicuous in this blood cave.

With a devouring magical power, the huge body of the wild monster was like a black hole vortex in this deep blood cave. Every moment, a huge amount of blood was poured into the huge monster body. The horrifying aura of the wild monster was steadily increasing as it was devoured day after day.

"Brother Mu..."

As if sensing Chu Mu's arrival, a hoarse voice called out in Chu Mu's ears.

"You continue to practice, and I will observe your devouring ability."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Mu floated down from the entrance of the blood cave, sank into the blood, and stepped directly on Wangcai's back.

The demon's body was as majestic as a mountain. He stood on its back as if he was standing on an island floating in blood. His spiritual consciousness probed into the devouring magical power that was like a black hole vortex. With a touch of spiritual light, he once again began to observe this devouring magical power...
