Gao Wu: Others practice martial arts, but you cultivate immortality?

"It's finally here!" On the stone platform, Chu Yuan suddenly opened his eyes;

Under the influence of divine sense, several Inner Breath Realm martial artists were being torn apart and devoured by the surging blood beasts at the foot of the mountain!

A fourth-realm blood beast swallowed the blood in its mouth, raised its head and roared to the sky, its roar filled with anthropomorphic joy!

The long howl was heard by many people, and there was another commotion on the stone platform. Many people turned pale.

After Chu Yuan set up the formation, many martial artists at the Inner Breath Realm were worried that Chu Yuan would go mad, so they chose to leave temporarily.

But most people had nowhere to go and could only stay on the stone platform where the formation wasn't covering the area...

Two figures leaped up and shouted, "The blood beasts are attacking!"

Don't stay here, run!

Without waiting for anyone to react, they left in another direction;

Most Inner Breath Realm trial participants, upon realizing something was amiss, chose to avoid the situation and flee for their lives; these two were no exception.

However, they chose to waste a little time passing the message on to the people on the stone platform... even though these martial artists, who were at most at the Unfailing Realm, could not escape the hunting of those blood beasts.

I just want peace of mind...

No sooner had the two messengers disappeared than a blood beast leaped onto the stone platform!

It let out a series of low growls, and then pounced on the person closest to it!

"No... save me!"

The person had no time to react and was instantly snatched in his mouth;

Two rows of sharp, dagger-like teeth snapped shut and bit down, causing blood to gush out along with internal organs...

An eerie silence fell over the stone platform, broken only by the screams of the surviving trial participants from the blood beast's jaws.

Suddenly, the sound of retching came again, and then it was as if a pot had exploded, with countless people screaming and fleeing in panic!

But this riot seemed to be just a signal; more and more blood beasts leaped onto the stone platform, attacking everything in their path that was human...

"Chu Yuan! Why aren't you making your move yet!" Xiang Ning couldn't help but shout. In just a few seconds, he had already seen dozens of people die in the mouths of the blood beasts!

These blood beasts are all at least at the third realm!?

Chu Yuan's gaze was deep: "Things that are obtained too easily will not be valued."

Xiang Ning frowned: "What do you mean?"

"The same applies to 'safety' and 'sanctuary'."

"At a time like this, you're still expecting them to be grateful to you?!"

Chu Yuan shook his head: "No, I just want them to behave better in the future..."

Tian Tian and the people she had gathered, along with the group of people Xiang Ning had assembled to collect materials, were already inside the formation;

As part of a deal, Chu Yuan should protect them.

But for others, Chu Yuan had no obligation to protect them!

On the contrary, he did not have a very good impression of this group of trainees, the so-called most elite geniuses of the Great Qin Dynasty;

I even dislike them!

Apart from Tian Tian and others, most of the trial participants were short-sighted, blindly obedient, and cowardly!

Treating everyone the same would be extremely unfair to those who had gathered materials for him and to Tian Tian!

He can provide shelter, but they need to give something else in return, such as... the very essence of life!

If we don't let them see the harsh reality now, there will inevitably be people complaining later...

With a complex expression, Xiang Ning gave Chu Yuan a deep look before turning and running towards the blood beast.

He seemed to understand somewhat: Chu Yuan didn't care about many things, and seemed to have no sense of 'righteousness' or 'responsibility' whatsoever.

Aside from repaying kindness with kindness and repaying evil with evil, he seems to care about nothing else...

"Hey Xiang Ning, wait for me!" Mao Rui called out, then looked at Chu Yuan and grinned, "He can be a bit crazy sometimes, I'll go get him..."

Chu Yuan nodded, not caring much, and continued to monitor the entire stone platform with his divine sense.

A blood beast attacked, and to Tian Tian's horrified gaze, a sword light slashed down, instantly splitting the blood beast in two, with blood flowing all over the ground.

Seemingly because this move was too conspicuous, the next moment, several even larger blood beasts stood in mid-air, their huge pupils all looking at Chu Yuan!

Immediately, with a roar, several blood beasts pounced down at the same time!

Yang Yi's eyes widened: "It can fly! Fourth Realm!? Chu Yuan, be careful!"

But at this moment, a buzzing sound seemed to be heard;

In an instant, the world fell silent, and an eerie and cruel aura descended!

The patterns on the stone platform lit up, and intricate crimson symbols condensed in the air, converging into chains...

"I command!" Chu Yuan uttered softly, his spiritual energy circulating.

Several chains snapped straight in an instant! As if piercing through space, they appeared beneath the fourth-realm blood beasts in a flash, stabbing fiercely into them!

Their bodies stiffened, hanging in mid-air by chains, but no blood was left.

Its full, robust body seemed to have been shriveled up at a visible speed, as if a straw had been inserted into it.

The chains slowly retracted, and at their ends hung several illusory, still roaring blood beasts.

But in an instant, it seemed to be absorbed by the chains and disappeared without a trace, as if it were just a hallucination.

The shriveled beast's body fell, turning to ashes before even touching the ground...

Yang Yi was dumbfounded. He had considered that Chu Yuan might not have set up a blood sacrifice formation.

But when the great formation truly unleashed its power, he realized how terribly wrong he had been!

During the Chenyang City incident, Yang Tianlei told him that the Blood Sacrifice Array was eventually usurped and underwent a mutation, making it capable of instantly killing a fifth-realm martial artist!

It even seems they extracted their souls!

Therefore, those warriors and monsters of the day of revenge were dealt with so easily;

The behavior my father described is exactly the same as what I'm seeing now!

But... wasn't that because Principal Qi used a rare treasure?

He had seen Chu Yuan set up the formation meticulously, and there was no trace of any extraordinary treasure...

"town!"

Chu Yuanru's mouth holds the mandate of heaven!

At a single command, the three realm blood beasts on the stone platform exploded instantly!

It exploded into puffs of blood mist, then condensed back into pills that looked incredibly familiar to Xiang Ning...

There's no need to condense those chains to deal with these weaker blood beasts;

Chu Yuan retrieved the Blood Pill, secretly lamenting that the third realm... was still a bit too low.

Chu Yuan did not refine the blood essence and souls of those four realm blood beasts into pills, but instead prepared to refine them into soul puppets for the great formation to serve as combat power!

After all... these blood beasts are just pawns...

The blood beasts on the stone platform were instantly wiped out, as if they had never existed.

Only those broken corpses testified to the slaughter they had just committed!

The survivors were dazed, as if still in a dream...

"What happened?"

"It seems... to be the formation set up by Chu Yuan?"

"Didn't the military say that no blood beasts would approach this place? Why is there no reaction at all when the blood beasts came?!"

Some people looked relieved and murmured, "...They survived!?"

Holding his friend's body, tears welled in his eyes as he cried out in grief and indignation, "He was capable of killing the Blood Beast! Why didn't he act sooner!"

In an instant, a myriad of emotions were on display...
