Li Yan first took a look at the blood river in front of him, and his head was buzzing. Later, he realized that the power that he could not match just now had disappeared.
He felt a little relieved and no longer cared about anything else. He slapped the storage bag with one hand, and several bottles of pills flew into the air. The mouth of the jade bottle opened automatically, and he sucked in more than a dozen pills in one gulp.
Immediately, Yuan sat cross-legged in meditation.
After an incense stick of time, Li Yan opened his eyes again. He now had time to look around carefully. What he saw was a large amount of rubble that had fallen into the cave.
At the same time, in his spiritual consciousness, the "Great Dragon Elephant Formation" was about to collapse. Fortunately, this formation was not comparable to ordinary formations. Even under such heavy pressure, it was still trying hard to maintain its operation and hold up a space, which prevented the cave from completely collapsing.
Otherwise, Li Yan would have been buried inside the cave when it collapsed. Li Yan endured the discomfort in his body and cast a few spells on the "Big Dragon Elephant Formation" again.
As the spiritual energy surged in the formation, the originally dim purple light suddenly became dazzling, and purple lines flowed unsteadily, making the entire cave become psychedelic and dreamy.
Li Yan heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the formation gradually returning to normal. Although with his current cultivation level he could go a thousand feet underground without any hindrance, it would still take some effort to get out.
After simply wiping the blood off his face, Li Yan turned his gaze back to the blood river. He actually already had the answer in his mind. What he saw was that the silver water drop had already sunk back into the blood river, and he couldn't help feeling a little scared.
If I hadn't been so careful as always, I would have been so carried away by success that I would have taken out the entire drop of water in one go. I might have lost my life today.
"Not only can this river of blood melt the silver paper, it also has a layer of isolating force. If I had disregarded everything and used all my strength just now, the pressure from it would have crushed me into dust."
This drop of "Immortal Dark Phoenix"'s blood essence contained terrifying power that he could not imagine. Even a Jindan cultivator, or even a Yuanying cultivator, might not be able to directly withstand the power in the blood essence.
He had only dug out a little bit of the blood river, and just a little bit of it floated above the water, but the pressure from it almost cost him his life.
If he had not seen the bad situation and immediately dispersed the spiritual power finger, allowing the drop of silver blood to sink back into the blood river, even if it only took half a breath longer for the drop of blood to be exposed, he would have exploded into a ball of blood mist. By then, even his soul might not be able to escape in time.
Therefore, Li Yan was afraid of his actions in the past few days. Fortunately, he had been trying to burn the silver paper, fortunately he had no ability to refine it into blood, and fortunately there was this mysterious blood river.
Otherwise, the moment the essence and blood are refined, it will be the day when his soul returns to the underworld. What kind of heaven-defying thing is the Blood River that it can actually cover up the terrifying pressure of the silver essence and blood in the river? Li Yan now knows that the cultivation level of the Undead Dark Wind is definitely not something that a Nascent Soul cultivator can resist. Its strength may have far exceeded the strongest person on this continent.
After thinking about his situation clearly, Li Yan used one hand to guide the blood river to his front, but he saw that the blood river was still surging silently, and only that drop of silver seemed even more dazzling.
Li Yan immediately held the Blood River in one hand, and with his other hand grabbed the air and put the other two pieces of silver paper into the storage bag.
Then he opened the "Big Dragon Elephant Formation" and flew out first. As Li Yan flew out, he waved his robe sleeves and retracted the "Big Dragon Elephant Formation". Then there was a loud "boom" sound. When Li Yan flew into the air, the mountain before him had collapsed.
Within a thousand feet radius, a bottomless pit suddenly appeared on the ground, and the flying dust covered the sky.
Then, as if a chain reaction had occurred, there was another series of loud rumbling sounds like thunder in the surrounding area. Some nearby mountains began to tilt and collapse, as if there was an earthquake, changing the color of the surrounding sky and earth.
Li Yan was extremely shocked. The silver essence and blood that appeared on the tip of the lotus root brought a trace of power that was so terrifying that it could destroy the world.
Li Yan had already quickly left this place, dragging a mini blood river in his hand, but he did not dare to put it away casually, let alone stay here for long. Such a big commotion, although most of the Pure Land Sect's northernmost places are remote and uninhabited, there will always be accidents.
By coincidence, if someone attracted the attention of someone and saw Li Yan appear here alone, even a fool would know that the great changes in the world were related to him.
One day later, halfway up a towering mountain thousands of miles away, Li Yan was once again sitting cross-legged in a cave. The "Great Dragon Elephant Formation" was activated again, and the blood river that he had never dared to put into the Lihuo Xuanhuang Fan was still suspended in the cave.
Li Yan didn't dare to put this thing away without figuring out what to do with it.
“Now, let alone refining it into my body, even a slight contact with it will immediately put me in an irretrievable situation. But if I leave it in the blood river like this, who knows what unknown consequences it will bring.
Will it finally be completely absorbed by the blood river and become its own... "
For a moment, Li Yan was in a dilemma, not knowing whether to go left or right. He just stared blankly at the river of blood floating in the air in front of him.
Just like that, Li Yan fell into deep thought. After a long time, Li Yan's frown suddenly relaxed. "I am too concerned. I have really put myself in a dead end. Why can't I refine and absorb it again?"
Li Yan found himself frightened by the terrifying power brought by that drop of "Immortal Dark Phoenix" blood. Naturally, he thought that it was untouchable, so refining and absorbing the blood became his biggest problem.
But in fact, he had once touched the essence and blood with spiritual power, of course, that was when he was in the blood river. Now Li Yan recalled carefully that the essence and blood of the "Immortal Dark Phoenix" was firmly bound by the strange power of the blood river.
Therefore, although there was still the power of essence and blood in the blood river, it was a very small force that he could withstand. Otherwise, it would have been impossible for him to use his spiritual power to transform into fingers and pick out the essence and blood.
Undoubtedly, the trace of essence and blood power that could be leaked out under the protection of the blood river could be used by Li Yan to absorb and refine. This was equivalent to adding an additional transmission medium between the drop of essence and blood of the "Immortal Dark Phoenix" and Li Yan.
After thinking it through, Li Yan's brows relaxed. He took a few deep breaths and then carefully extended his consciousness into the blood river. Soon he felt a strong force hitting his consciousness, but Li Yan was prepared, so nothing unexpected happened.
Li Yan observed carefully with his spiritual sense and saw that starting from the area around the silver water drop, there were countless thin lines that could only be seen by spiritual sense. One end was tied to the silver water drop, and the other end was floating in the blood river, like the tentacles of a jellyfish in the sea water.
Some were thick, some were thin, scattered with the waves. Then Li Yan found the thinnest silver floating thread. After gritting his teeth, he carefully put one of his fingers into the blood river and began to try to guide the thinnest silver thread to wrap around his finger.
This time was very different from before. Before, Li Yan had deliberately used his spiritual power to create an illusion with his fingers, but now it was direct physical contact.
At the moment the silver thread was wrapped around his fingers, the force transmitted seemed very small. Then, Li Yan began to recite the incantation silently, slowly absorbing the silver thread into his fingertips.
In just a moment, Li Yan felt a stinging pain that was so hot that it could burn everything, coming from his fingertips. Even though Li Yan was prepared and was a man of strong will, at this moment, Li Yan's body trembled violently, and his brain seemed to be struck by a thousand-foot lightning.
The pain went straight to the depths of Li Yan's soul, causing him to groan in agony. His spirit and soul almost dissipated from his body. In an instant, his clothes were soaked with sweat from the inside out, making Li Yan feel as if he was fished out of the water in an instant.
An extremely cold murderous intent suddenly grew in Li Yan's soul, while his body felt completely different, as if it was being roasted in an alchemy furnace.
The extreme cold and extreme heat intertwined and spread in Li Yan's soul and body, forming a sharp contrast. The silver thread had an indomitable will, a will that was above all things.
It seemed as if it sensed the imminent consequence of being devoured, so it devoured the enemy before he could even think of this, causing Li Yan to fall into the Shura Hell forever.
The veins on Li Yan's forehead bulged out, and each vein looked like a tangled green tree knot. The pain almost made him lose his mind and clarity for a moment. Fortunately, when Li Yan practiced the Qiongqi Purgatory Technique, the pain from the depths of his body and soul was no less than today.
So before Li Yan lost his mind, he finally managed to control his mind.
"Damn... it's a will that has been dead for many years... Forget it... Forget it, just... destroy it..."
Blood was oozing out of Li Yan's mouth and nose, making his face hideous and distorted. His body was shaking like a sieve, as if he was a ghost reborn. He knew that this was the inherited will of the "Immortal Phoenix" bloodline. If he could not resist it, he would become a walking corpse in the next moment.
From then on, as for Li Yan, he could only live unconsciously between this world until one day he died in an unknown way.
Fortunately, Li Yan had carefully selected the thinnest silver thread before, otherwise it would be unknown whether it could withstand the will of inheritance.
Of course, Li Yan no longer has the ability to think about these things.
The pain he endured was not only the constant infiltration of the inherited will of the "Immortal Dark Phoenix", which attempted to separate and occupy his soul.
At the same time, there were streams of force as hot as knives, tearing Li Yan's muscles and tendons into strips. This pain even exceeded the pain Li Yan felt when his "dismembered poisonous body" was separated for the first time.
At this moment, Li Yan's body was like a finger. There was a force peeling off a tendon in the finger inch by inch and pulling it out. The pain of being peeled off from the flesh and blood made Li Yan groan continuously.
And that’s not all. It seemed as if there was an invisible, delicate, hot knife that was removing the excess from the tendon bit by bit.
If Li Yan had not practiced the Poisonous Body Disintegration and the Qiongqi Purgatory Technique, and had not possessed endurance far beyond that of ordinary people, his consciousness would have collapsed in a moment, and he would have fainted or even died in agony.
