"Wait!" Tian Qing called out.
Ye Guan stopped in his tracks. Then, he turned around and looked at Tian Qing with a puzzled look.
Tian Qing asked, "If you don't mind me asking, can you tell me the name of that bloodline?"
Ye Guan smiled and replied, "It's the Mad Demon Bloodline."
Mad Demon! Tian Qing stared deeply at Ye Guan and asked, "Is blood energy useful to you?"
Ye Guan nodded. "Yes, it's tremendously useful."
The reason he achieved pure and perfect divinity after fully embracing his Mad Demon state was partly due to the fact that he had absorbed those evil spirits.
After absorbing them, his Mad Demon Bloodline became even stronger.
In fact, if he were to go overboard, his Mad Demon Bloodline would become even more terrifying. However, he didn't want to go that far.
"There's a place with even more evil spirits and blood energy. Would you like to go there?"Ye Guan was slightly startled. "More evil spirits and blood energy?"
"Yes."
"Of course, I'd like to go there."
"Follow me, then," Tian Qing said. He then turned and led Ye Guan away.
Ye Guan didn't think much of it and followed along. He was not afraid of any tricks. In a one-on-one fight, he did not fear Tian Qing. If the battle became a group fight, he had Yi Nian and Jing An to fight with him.
Those two girls weren't just good at eating. If it really came to a fight, aside from his father and his other relatives, no one in this universe region could handle them.
Soon, Tian Qing led Ye Guan to a desolate place.
Ye Guan frowned. The ground beneath him was blood-red. However, the Mad Demon Bloodline within him started trembling slightly as soon as he stepped onto this desolate place.
Tian Qing's expression was complex as he said, "This place was the core area of that great battle that happened many years ago. Millions of spirits are buried here.
"They died in battle here, and because of a special seal, they've been trapped here for eternity and have been wandering this place in perpetual confusion.
"If you absorbed them, it'd be a form of release for them."
"Senior, what was that great battle?"
"It was a battle between the Existing Dao and the Old Dao.
After the Old Dao was defeated, the master of the Existing Dao created a new Dao, which became what is known as the Existing Dao.
"Upon establishing the new order and Dao, he fought the Tianxing Civilization and disappeared without a trace. Since then, the Existing Dao has been collapsing."
"Is the Old Dao perished, or…" Ye Guan trailed off.
"How could that be possible? The master of the Existing Dao is powerful, but he's not strong enough to kill the master of the Old Dao."
"Then how did you guys lose?"
"The master of the Old Dao made a strategic retreat."
Ye Guan glanced at Tian Qing, remaining silent. Damn, you sure have a way with words. You actually managed to make a retreat sound so refined.
Tian Qing added, "But the Old Master will return someday…"
"When will he return?" Ye Guan asked.
Tian Qing fell silent.
Ye Guan said, "Why not come with me? I can take you out right now."
Tian Qing bowed deeply. "I'm willing to follow Young Master Ye."
Ye Guan's expression froze.
Tian Qing suddenly became somewhat excited. "Young Master Ye, besides the evil spirits here, I also know where… where some of the Old Dao's treasures are hidden. Once you've absorbed these evil spirits, I can take you there."
The Old Dao's treasures!
Ye Guan became interested. "What kind of treasures are they?"
"I don't know." Tian Qing shook his head. "It's sealed; I can't get in."
Ye Guan nodded. "Just take me there later, then."
"Alright, alright," Tian Qing agreed.
Ye Guan looked at the land in front of him and closed his eyes. His divine sense penetrated the earth, and his expression became extremely serious. His divine sense noticed a myriad of evil spirits deep underground. They were just spirits, but they became evil due to their fierce and intense malice.
Ye Guan was thrilled at the sight, and he immediately awakened his Mad Demon Bloodline.
Boom!
A pillar of blood shot up into the sky, transforming the desolate region into a sea of blood. As soon as Ye Guan embraced the Mad Demon Bloodline, he took to the sky and pierced the earth, diving into its depths.
Rumble!
Terrifying waves of bloodline power emerged from underground.
Tian Qing's expression changed drastically. Ye Guan's Mad Demon Bloodline was actually suppressing the evil spirits down below, even though there were basically a countless number of them.
What a terrifying bloodline! Tian Qing was shocked.
"Tian Qing," the Hell Lord suddenly said, "You betrayed your Old Master just like that?"
Tian Qing calmly replied, "I didn't betray him. He abandoned me first. Of course, I understand. Someone like me is as insignificant as an ant and is not worth remembering at all in his eyes."
Tian Qing glanced at the ground and added, "He's my only chance to get out of here."
Ye Guan's true identity eluded him, but he knew that this young man was his only opportunity to escape. If he ended up missing this chance, he'd be trapped here forever. Thus, he had to seize this opportunity.
Shame? Compared to a perpetual prison, what was shame? Besides, he didn't think that he was being shameless here. The young man was extraordinary, and perhaps it was his fate to absorb these evil spirits here.
On the path to the summit of cultivation, every choice would either bring fortune or disaster. Thus, Tian Qing decided to take a gamble.
Just then, a terrifying bloodline aura erupted from underground.
Tian Qing's expression grew solemn. The aura was incredibly powerful, and it was far stronger than Ye Guan at his peak earlier.
Unbelievable! Tian Qing was shocked by the power of Ye Guan's bloodline, and even the Hell Lord was surprised. The way Ye Guan was absorbing these evil spirits was simply outrageous.
It had to be understood that the evil spirits were filled with intense malice and resentment. Even a Path Annihilation Realm expert like him wouldn't dare to absorb blood energy using such a reckless method, like what Ye Guan was doing, even though he was just an Equal Path Realm expert.
The sheer amount of blood energy that Ye Guan was absorbing could easily overwhelm the mind of a Path Annihilation Realm expert.
Who is the ruthless progenitor of the Mad Demon Bloodline? The Hell Lord was curious.
Three days later, the ground cracked open, and a blood-red figure floated slowly from the abyss down below.
The figure belonged to none other than Ye Guan!
The moment he reappeared, the Hell Battlefield transformed into a vast sea of blood. Ye Guan himself was enveloped in a blood-red aura as well, and he was radiating an overwhelming killing intent.
The killing intent was so fierce and overwhelming that Tian Qing was forced to retreat tens of thousands of meters away.
Staring at Ye Guan, Tian Qing's expression grew serious. How absurd!
He realized that he still ended up greatly underestimating Ye Guan's Mad Demon Bloodline, and the progenitor of the Mad Demon Bloodline was surely not a good person!
Just then, Ye Guan looked at Tian Qing.
When Tian Qing saw Ye Guan's blood-red eyes, his face changed immediately, and he hurriedly exclaimed, "Shit! Someone, wake him up!"
Right as Ye Guan was about to make a move, a golden light shot out from within him and soared into the sky.
Tian Qing heaved a sigh of relief at the sight. He truly did not want to fight Ye Guan. Young Master Ye was just too abnormal.
Moments later, his expression changed once again.
The golden light was failing to suppress Ye Guan!
What?! Tian Qing was taken aback.
"Master Pagoda?" Ao Qianqian asked, "What's going on?"
Little Pagoda said in a heavy voice, "Mistress, something's wrong with this guy. He's absorbed far too many evil spirits. I… I can't hold him down."
Ao Qianqian's expression turned serious. Even Master Pagoda Can't hold him down? Wouldn't he die and ascend to heaven at this rate?
Just then, Ye Guan transformed into a streak of light and vanished into thin air.
Schwing!
A sword strike was unleashed, splitting the mysterious spacetime of the Hell Battlefield.
Tian Qing dared not be careless. He extended his right hand and sent a palm strike.
Boom!
The spacetime in front of him was compressed, slowing Ye Guan down in an instant. In response, Ye Guan swung the sword in his right hand.
Boom!
The compressed spacetime shattered with a deafening boom.
Tian Qing's expression shifted slightly. He clenched his right hand into a fist and punched forward.
Boom!
A blood-red sword light exploded, and Tian Qing flew tens of thousands of meters away. Right as he stabilized himself, a massive blood-red sword light flew toward him.
Bam!
Tian Qing was blasted away once again. Like earlier, a blood-red sword light descended on him before he could even stabilize himself.
Tian Qing's expression grew extremely grim as his eyes began to take on a red hue. Ye Guan's Mad Demon Bloodline was affecting him!
After absorbing so many evil spirits, Ye Guan's Mad Demon Bloodline reached extremely terrifying heights, and it could now influence even a Path Annihilation Realm expert.
Tian Qing couldn't hesitate any longer, as Ye Guan's sword was already upon him. Instead of facing it head-on, he chose to retreat.
Ye Guan wanted to chase after Tian Qing, but another beam of golden light burst out of him, and it attempted to suppress his Mad Demon Bloodline.
Ye Guan stopped with his brows furrowed tightly. He gripped the sword firmly in his right hand, seemingly struggling against the golden beam of light.
Tian Qing was relieved at the sight. It seemed that the mysterious being within Young Master Ye was capable of controlling him.
Just then, Ye Guan looked up and roared.
Boom!
The two beams of golden light shattered in an instant.
Immediately afterward, Ye Guan thrust his hand into himself and dragged the tiny pagoda outside.
Little Pagoda was greatly alarmed, and he hurriedly exclaimed, "W-what are you doing, you punk?! I'm your Master Pagoda! I've been with the three generations of your family, you—"
Ye Guan slashed out, interrupting Little Pagoda.
