Chapter 1905: Chapter 705: Death in the Netherworld, Soul Severed at Black Cliff (Part 2)
Therefore, solving this problem is the most important thing. Otherwise, even if we temporarily shake off that bizarre Demon Beast, it will eventually track us down.
But, what method is the opponent relying on exactly?
Luo Chen fell into deep thought.
Han Zhan didn’t interrupt him, but instead took out a Golden Core Period puppet from his storage bag and, after casting a few prohibitions, submerged the puppet in the sea.
...
Whoosh!
In the sky, a gigantic moth flapped its wings, crossing over the sea.
Suddenly.
A column of water erupted below.
The moth opened its mouth and spat, the water column instantly dispersed.
The puppet, which was about to launch an attack, shattered piece by piece under that grey light.
The moth circled suspiciously, but in the end shook its head vigorously, still resolutely pursuing in one direction.
...
"It’s my Blood Essence!"
On the Wooden Kite, Luo Chen looked at a drop of crimson blood on his fingertip, his expression dark and stormy.
He had intended to give Moon Independent Cultivator a surprise, but ended up hurting himself instead.
The bizarre Demon Beast summoned by the opponent was able to absorb his Blood Essence from the aftermath of the Purple Spirit Island explosion, thereby locking onto his position.
This method, even if he exerted his utmost in Concealment Technique, could not hide it.
Moreover, there was another reason for this situation.
That was the disappearance of the Concealing Array!
Within the Ming Zhao Heaven Pill Hall, Luo Chen completed Physical Nirvana, remolded his meridians and Sea of Qi, improving his physique’s talent.
However, during that Physical Nirvana process, the Concealing Array once engraved on his physique was worn away.
Previously, Luo Chen hadn’t paid attention to this aspect.
But now it has become a huge hidden danger.
Concealment Technique, how can it compare to the thoroughness of a continuously enveloping Concealment Array!
Having figured this out, Luo Chen continued to analyze.
The opponent locked onto the aura of his Blood Essence.
Unlike ordinary cultivator’s essence blood, Luo Chen’s essence blood not only contained Golden Core Period Qi Power but was also filled with powerful Origin Force!
This power was so special that it stood out strikingly in the world.
Therefore, that bizarre Demon Beast could chase after him unerringly.
"In the short term, I can’t engrave a Concealing Array to protect myself, I’ll have to think of another way."
The thought flashed by, and Luo Chen spoke:
"Senior, how many puppets do you have left?"
"Four left. But the White Tiger Puppet should not be used lightly, as it consumes too much Qi Power, and even my Nascent Soul finds it extremely difficult to operate."
"Hmm, leave a Golden Core Period puppet for me."
"What are you going to do?"
"Confuse the enemy!"
Han Zhan instantly understood.
"Additionally, could you keep an eye out for any strong Demon Beasts’ lairs nearby for me?" Luo Chen added.
Han Zhan said in surprise, "You want to divert the trouble to the east?"
"Exactly!"
...
Three days later.
Sang Jinghe watched Luo Chen sitting cross-legged on the back of the Wooden Kite, his eyes glittering with curiosity.
There was another person cross-legged in front of Luo Chen as well.
However, that person was lifeless, clearly a dead puppet.
Luo Chen ignored Sang Jinghe, taking him along for now, for at truly desperate moments, he was not a stubborn person.
Now, he had to complete the final step.
Blood light surged from Luo Chen’s body, channels of Origin Force flowed out.
Suddenly, Luo Chen gave a low shout and pressed a finger to his bare chest.
"Come out!"
Instantly, a drop of blood containing terrifying power seeped out from his heart.
Sang Jinghe watched this scene, unable to stop his complexion from wildly shifting.
Heart Blood!
Only second to Soul Blood, it surpasses Tongue Tip Blood in essence blood.
Ordinary cultivators would not dare to easily invoke it, otherwise, it would result in greatly diminished vital energy.
For Luo Chen, evoking Heart Blood didn’t have such severe consequences; with his strong heart, he could afford to waste a drop of Heart Blood.
An abnormal flush crossed his face as Luo Chen watched the crimson blood seep bit by bit into the puppet’s heart.
Gradually, the puppet began to emit the same aura as Luo Chen.
"Is it enough?"
He murmured.
Sang Jinghe couldn’t answer, nor did he need to, for he knew Luo Chen was not asking him, but another powerful existence.
Sure enough, Han Zhan’s voice came softly.
"For ordinary cultivators, your method should suffice as a convincing disguise. However, that bizarre moth..."
Luo Chen’s face darkened, "I’ve done all I can, if push comes to shove, I’ll fight it with all my might. After all, Moon Independent Cultivator hasn’t pursued, with you and me joining forces, facing an Evil Beast, there might be a glimmer of hope."
Han Zhan was not overly optimistic about this.
That moth Demon Beast dared to bare its fangs at Moon Independent Cultivator, it must at least be a late-stage Nascent Soul troublesome foe.
He thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "Let’s add one more hand!"
"Hmm?" Luo Chen was puzzled, could he do even better?
Han Zhan’s words echoed eerily in his ears.
"Do you remember Bead Curtain Lock and Kai Mao Technique?"
...
"Here it is!"
"Based on my perception, along the route, there were occasionally one or two powerful Fourth Order Demon Beasts’ auras, but the most soul-shaking to me is this body of water in front of us."
With a pale face, Luo Chen’s steps halted for a moment, and the Wooden Kite stopped on a barren little island.
He gazed afar, his pupils involuntarily shrinking.
The scene before him was dim yellow, as if he were in a desert.
But when the gentle breeze blew by, it clearly stirred murky yellow waves.
"What sea is this?"
"I don’t know, but according to my observation, the dangers hidden in this sea are comparable to those of Oblivion Sea before Land of Fallen Demons was opened. If you lure that bizarre moth into this, it might buy you enough time to escape. So, have you made up your mind?"
