Excessive ferocity due to caution

"Not beings from beyond the abyss?"

"Are you so sure?"

Chao Feng nodded:

"I'm sure."

"That thing is definitely not an indigenous being from Wuji. Just like you, anyone who has ever paid attention to it would be able to tell at a glance."

Zhao Yi did not deny this.

The difference between people from the outside world and the native inhabitants of the Infernal Realm is indeed quite significant.

"So, what should we do now?"

Ji Chen wasn't so concerned about the existence upstream of the Bloodfall; he was more focused on his own safety.

Chao Fei said to the two of them:

"Don't rush."

"The creature upstream is now asleep after absorbing too much power, so we have plenty of opportunities."

"I will slowly shrink back into the area covered by the divine mark, and then you will find an opportunity to break free from the blood waterfall's restraints. As long as it is not affected by the divine mark, it should not awaken."

"After you leave Bloodfall, I will teach you how to leave upstream without being detected by those eyes."

Upon hearing this, Ji Chen let out a sigh:

"Teach us?"

Aren't you coming with us?

Chao Bian replied:

"I need to go to the end of Bloodfall; there's something very important I haven't retrieved..."

Ji Chen asked curiously:

"What's so important?"

Chao Xin:

"The Record of Travels and Journeys"

Upon hearing this, Ji Chen laughed and said:

"Isn't it just a guide to restricted areas?"

"You yourself are a living guide, why would you need this thing?"

Chao Fei exhaled a smoke ring, his expression shifting slightly as he looked at Ji Chen:

"It wasn't originally necessary."

"But now... I have to get it back."

Ji Chen was puzzled:

"Why?"

Zhao Yi, standing to the side, said calmly:

"Because Chao Fei discovered that the things upstream of the Blood Falls were not formed naturally, but appeared because of human intervention."

"Whoever did this has an extraordinary purpose and is definitely not a good person."

"The existence of the Bloodfall upstream is just a facade. What it reflects is a very cunning and powerful team. Such a team is undoubtedly a threat to Wujian, and a significant one at that."

"If such a team were to obtain Chao Fei's 'Travels of the Wanderer' and tamper with other forbidden areas, they might end up creating even more monsters like those at the end of the Bloodfall..."

Upon hearing this, Ji Chen couldn't help but swallow hard.

"It's...it's not that serious, is it?"

Zhao Yi glanced at him:

"It's not that serious?"

"What if these terrifying monsters that are created... could eventually be controlled?"

Ji Chen's eyes widened:

"Being controlled?"

"This...this...this can't be, right?"

"That's no ordinary being at the late-stage God Realm!"

"How do you control it?"

Chao Xi said:

Just because you and I can't do it doesn't mean others can't.

"My purpose in traversing the many forbidden zones of the Abyss was to enable other races within the Abyss to better understand everything within those zones, so that they wouldn't have to make so many sacrifices when facing ominous attacks from those zones or entering them to search for rare stones and elixirs."

"Therefore, that copy of 'The Record of Wandering Paths' must not fall into the hands of dangerous individuals!"

Chao Fei pointed above the waterfall of blood:

"I will take you to the middle section later, and then we will separate. You will pass through the ancient battlefield, while I go to retrieve the 'Travel Record'."

Ji Chen nodded.

Zhao Yi glanced at Chao Fei but said nothing.

The latter began to control and shrink his divine mark, and soon the mark was completely withdrawn.

It only covered three people.

"That's about it."

Chao Fei stared intently at the two of them.

"Now it's up to you guys."

"I see that you are quite powerful; perhaps you have a chance to break the seal on the Bloodfall."

Ji Chen took a deep breath, gathering all his strength, and the thick fog surrounding his body contracted and returned to his body.

His body began to burn with flames.

Without the thick fog obscuring his view, Zhao Yi finally saw Ji Chen's true form.

Pale blue skin, purple pupils, and long, fiery red hair.

He's a completely unconventional character.

Ji Chen clasped his hands together, and under the protection of Chao Fei's divine mark, his innate law was able to be unleashed. Although his strength had not yet fully recovered, the Heavenly Phoenix Curse in his palm had already come alive, with flames roaring out, like a real phoenix. As it cried out, its aura even faintly surpassed that of the Sovereign Realm!

"good!"

Upon witnessing Ji Chen's attack, Chao Xian's eyes revealed surprise and delight.

The curse of the Bloodfall is extremely terrifying. Even though this is only the downstream area, it is absolutely impossible for an ordinary ruler to resist or break it!

The fiery phoenix, soaring high, plunged headlong into the blood waterfall, but the expected earth-shattering collision did not occur.

It was like a small pebble thrown into the ocean.

There was not a ripple.

Ji Chen stared in disbelief, completely dumbfounded on the spot.

Useless?

That shouldn't be the case.

"It hasn't reached its limit yet."

Zhao Yi's voice echoed in his ears.

Ji Chen turned his head, bewildered, and said:

"What, what, not yet reached the limit?"

The crimson light that Zhao Yi saw sent chills down his spine.

"The power of the Bloodfall is almost inexhaustible. Your power can influence it, but it's not enough to break through its defenses."

"If you can't tear it open, you'll soon be filled with the power flowing in the blood waterfall."

"You have to...do this."

After saying that, he actually stretched out his hands and plunged them into the waterfall of blood!

"Damn it, Zhao Yi, are you crazy?!"

Ji Chen let out a strange cry and stepped forward to tug at Zhao Yi, but the latter did not budge.

Chao Xian, standing behind them, said:

"Don't touch him."

"Something's wrong with this person's body... I can actually sense the power of a god within it!"

Ji Chen was stunned.

He shifted his gaze to Zhao Yi, noticing his calm expression, which suggested he was unaffected by the bloodfall.

Chao Fei's divine mark protected their souls, while the curse in the blood waterfall seemed unable to break through Zhao Yi's defenses.

The veins on his arms bulged as if he had grabbed something, and then Zhao exerted his strength, tearing the waterfall of blood that was hanging down in half!

This scene directly caused unparalleled trauma to Ji Chen's young mind!

What the hell is this physical body?

Is Zhao Yi really just a ruler?

"Get out of here right now!"

Zhao Yi's eyes shone with a brilliant light.
