Chapter 161: The Blood-Stained World

Chapter 161: The Blood-Stained World

Baidu Mountain is a perilous place with a very high mortality rate. Statistics show that only about forty percent of the geniuses who enter manage to survive, and in the most terrifying eras, the survival rate is far less than ten percent.

It is a land of opportunity, but also a blood-stained demon land where chances and death dance together. To reap rewards, one must gamble their life.

Chaos erupts in Baidu Mountain, as many ferocious beasts, fierce birds, and humanoid ancient creatures emerge, all brimming with hostility, as if they have escaped from hell. They open their gaping maws and attack everyone.

“Ah!”

In an instant, screams are heard from all directions. Various ancient beasts appear in the mountains, sweeping away the talented individuals from various clans. These are ancient monsters of many years, ridiculously powerful.

A roar like thunder rumbles through the area, shaking the ground and sending sand and stones flying. A massive black Xiong rushes out from the mountains. Though not of pure blood, its enormous size is astonishing. When it runs, a gale blows and the earth trembles.

It opens its massive mouth and immediately bites a silver-blood giant to death, swallowing it whole. Then with a single swipe of its claw, three talented individuals explode into pieces, their blood and light merging into its mouth.

“Kill it!”

The strong from various clans cry out in alarm and resist.

Its eyes are icy cold, and it spews out a dazzling burst of light, exploding in front and instantly turning flesh and blood into a mess. Various severed limbs fly through the air, with no one able to block it.

The black Xiong opens its mouth and swallows dozens of talented individuals. It is like a Shura king, fierce and invincible.

In the ancient times, true Xiong were invincible beings during the era of the gods. All beings would retreat upon seeing them, and killing gods was not unusual.

Even the descendants of true Xiong, with impure bloodlines, are still terrifying. With their mixed bloodlines, they can also cultivate to high levels and suppress all directions.

The black Xiong in front of them is the best example, slaughtering its way through. It consumes dozens to hundreds of strong individuals, crushing them with ease and finding no rivals.

Of course, this is also related to its long period of cultivation. With countless years of bitter training, it is terrifying beyond imagination, roaring as it seeks the most powerful pure-blooded beings, hoping to advance by consuming them and making a significant step in its evolution.

The talented individuals from various clans have no complaints. Since they chose to enter Baidu Mountain, they must be prepared for such conditions. Opportunities require lives as payment. Having spent little time in cultivation, they have nothing to say.

“Roar!”

The black Xiong roars and continues its bloodthirsty rampage, heading towards the area with the densest concentration of talents.

This is happening everywhere. Powerful birds of prey and strange beasts escape from their sealed locations and start attacking. Blood splatters along the way as they seek the strongest blood food.

Originally a land of treasure, where talented individuals from various clans dug for spiritual herbs, sought magical artifacts, and found ancient relics, it has now turned into a hell of slaughter. They have become the blood food of the native beings.

The most terrifying areas are places like Fenbao Cliff, Baicao Garden, and Tianbone Forbidden Zone. All the ancient monsters of Baidu Mountain have rushed in, seeking the descendants of ancient divine birds and pure-blooded fierce beasts.

“Ugh!”

A massive dragon-horned lion, hundreds of meters tall, rises and attacks. With one swipe of its claw, mountain peaks collapse, and its overwhelming force crushes dozens of talented individuals below.

“Pfft.”

It opens its mouth and spews out beams of dazzling light, cutting through dozens of talented individuals, turning them into severed limbs and shattered bodies. Then, its wide jaws and sharp teeth glow, forming a vortex that sucks in the blood mist and corpses.

The ruthless slaughter begins. This is a bloody world, vastly different from before. Many talented individuals are wailing and fleeing.

They are still young. If they grow up, they are destined to become notable figures. But now they face such disaster, pursued by a group of ancient monsters with no escape, with no way to heaven or earth.

But they cannot blame others. They chose to come here for tempering, and if they want to gain opportunities, they must be prepared to sacrifice their lives.

A blue-eyed golden-eyed beast appears at the edge of Fenbao Cliff, blocking the strong from various clans. It resembles a unicorn, but its fangs are fearsome and it swiftly devours a group of talented individuals, with blood dripping from its white teeth.

In ancient times, the blue-eyed golden-eyed beast was one of the top ten mounts, favored by the saints. Its powerful appearance and strength were well recognized.

“Roar!”

In the ruins around Fenbao Cliff, bodies fall in piles and blood rains down. The fierce beast is on a rampage, its level far surpassing that of the others.

A blood-colored world, chaotic mountains. All the strong are fleeing, and the talented individuals from various clans are terrified, never expecting this moment to come so suddenly, without warning.

Seeking opportunities now is a fantasy. Surviving is considered fortunate, and preserving their lives will be their greatest challenge in the coming days.

Such situations usually do not last more than a few days. The exit of Baidu Mountain will soon open, marking their chance to escape the bloody hell.

Endless golden light flashes as a giant roc spreads its wings and soars into the sky, covering the heavens and attacking the Tianbone Forbidden Zone, dispersing the mist here completely.

Its purpose is clear: to kill pure-blooded beings, devour blood and precious herbs, and refine the true blood of the roc in itself, taking a crucial first step towards becoming even stronger.

“Boom!”

The golden wings are enormous, stretching for hundreds of meters. As they sweep through, several mountain peaks are directly severed, with smooth, flat surfaces.

With a rumbling sound, several mountain peaks collapse, and dust fills the sky.

To many talented individuals, this is an overwhelming divine might that is impossible to challenge. Even the descendants of ancient fierce beasts are not a match.

The dazzling golden light is blinding, and the enormous roc's terrifying aura makes many talents tremble in fear.

This golden roc is very selective, not rushing to attack. It searches for powerful blood food because it has cultivated for a long time and looks down upon ordinary “weaker beings.”

Dark clouds cover the sun as groups of bats appear, each several meters long. They blacken the sky like a group of pterosaurs. In fact, they are called bat dragons and dive towards everyone.

Their special skill is terrifying, emitting an invisible sound wave that shatters metal and stone, causing those on the ground to scream in agony, with many creatures bleeding from all orifices. Especially the ears, which are left in a bloody mess.

This is a massacre. A single bat dragon might not be frightening, but such a dense swarm covering the sky above the Tianbone Forbidden Zone is overwhelming.

Below, living beings suffer as one corpse after another falls, devoured by the diving bat dragons.

In the end, the golden-winged roc is displeased. With an angry roar, endless golden feathers fly out, piercing through dozens of bat dragons, causing them to fall to the ground.

Its terrifying majesty cannot be provoked. Anyone daring to offend will pay with blood and life, as these bat dragons are interfering with its hunt for blood food.

In fact, the offspring of ancient fierce beasts are incredibly powerful and perceptive. They have long received warnings from their elders. They used their great divine powers at the first opportunity to conceal their presence and escape the area.

“So strong. I’d better leave too,” the small figure blends into the crowd and pushes outward. It doesn’t make a scene, doesn’t rush to the front, and remains on the edge, beginning a major retreat.

Besides those extremely powerful kings, many creatures of similar strength to the talented individuals are closing in and launching a siege.



People were horrified. When they entered, everything had been calm and peaceful, and they hadn’t noticed these creatures. Now, they had all gone berserk, appearing in unison and treating them as prey.

In the end, the little one managed to escape the Sky Bone Forbidden Zone and leave the vast desert, rushing into the boundless mountain range.

He was soon dumbfounded because, no matter where he went, there were ferocious beasts rampaging everywhere. Baidu Mountain was teeming with life; it was an incredibly vast small world, breeding countless fierce spirits that ambushed everyone.

Along the way, he saw too many people die. The forests were stained red, with ferocious natives—some human-shaped, some beast-like, and others plant-based—devouring the powerful from all races. The sound of bones being crushed echoed as fresh blood flowed, creating a chilling atmosphere.

It was truly tragic; this was a world drenched in blood.

The little one noticed that about seventy percent of the experts who had escaped the Sky Bone Forbidden Zone with him had already fallen, becoming food for the beasts. The crimson blood splattered, and only fragments of bones were left.

“Brother!” A human girl screamed in agony.

In the distance, a boy in black screamed and struggled desperately, but it was of no use. He was bitten in half by a silver crocodile and swallowed whole.

“Get away!” the little one shouted.

The girl’s eyes were vacant, and by the time she heard the warning, it was too late. A saw-toothed bird swooped down from the sky and, with a single snap, tore her apart, swallowing large chunks of flesh and blood.

The little one lifted a massive rock weighing tens of thousands of pounds and, with a thunderous crash, hurled it into the sky. It struck the saw-toothed bird dead on, causing it to explode into flesh and blood before falling to the ground.

But it was already too late; the girl was dead.

The little one did not stop, quickly moving away because he couldn’t manage everything. This was just a snapshot; similar events were happening everywhere around him. He had nearly fought his way out from amidst the piles of flesh and blood, with too many beings being slaughtered.

“Roar!”

A fierce beast roared at him from the opposite side, baring its large mouth with tusks like knives, and unleashed its treasure technique, striking at him.

“Roar!”

The little one roared back, even more violently, charging directly at the beast, showing his small white tiger teeth as if he wanted to devour it.

The beast was startled, feeling that it had become the prey and charged forward in a fierce battle.

As a result, the little one killed it, slicing off its head with a “puff” and letting its blood gush out.

“Another powerful treasure beast. Although its bone runes are shattered, the essence of its flesh remains.” This was the twelfth ferocious beast he had collected in his Universe Bag after killing his way through the forbidden zone.

He didn’t keep ordinary beasts; he only collected the strongest ones because they were flesh treasures.

“I made an appointment with Da Hong, Huo Ling’er, and the Nine-Headed Lion to meet at a place not far from the center of Baidu Mountain. I need to find them.”

The little one was worried about their situation. Although he knew it was dangerous to search for people in this blood-stained world, he was unwilling to give up and continued his bloody journey.

“Hmm, the closer I get to the central area, the more kingly lairs there are.” He was surprised. He had been to these places before, but at that time, the volcanoes, abysses, and other areas were closed off as if sealed, with no ferocious spirits appearing.

Now, it was a different story. The golden passage of Baidu Mountain had disappeared, the connections between various places had opened up, and the seals had all been lifted. The central area had become a dangerous place.

“Bi Fang!”

When passing by a cliff, he was astonished to see the most powerful divine bird appearing there as well.

If it were a physical battle, he would be no weaker than anyone, but the other party had been cultivating for far longer, with terrifying mastery of runes. After leaving the Hundred Herbs Garden, it could definitely claim kingship.

“What is it doing?”

This area was relatively quiet because ordinary fierce beasts did not dare to invade; it was a place frequented by kings.

Bi Fang’s body was like a crane, entirely forged from azure gold, with blood-red patterns dotted across it. Its divine feathers were resplendent and sparkling. It was very cautious, flying among the bushes and carefully approaching a broken mountain with a large nest.

“This guy is really cunning.” The little one showed a different expression.

The king had left its lair to search for blood food, with the strongest relics being its favorites. And the descendants of ancient divine birds and fierce beasts were not to be underestimated; they had avoided being hunted and had snuck into their lairs. This was to eliminate the entire nest.

The little one climbed a peak and looked down at the cliff where there was a nest containing a silver egg. It seemed to be burning, with flames and dazzling rays.

After confirming that no creatures were guarding the area, Bi Fang surged forward quickly and easily broke the divine egg with its sharp beak, directly sipping the liquid.

“Prodigal!” The little one was heartbroken. This was definitely an egg of a supreme relic. If it could be hatched, it would represent a powerful treasure technique.

But as a true divine bird, Bi Fang wouldn’t be interested in the treasure techniques of other relics, especially not bird species. Therefore, it treated it as a medicinal treasure.

“If you don’t need it, give it to me! I can give you a bunch of medicinal treasures.” The little one ground his small tiger teeth with a snap. He only had two types of treasure techniques, both of which he had obtained with great difficulty. Not to mention comparing himself to Shi Yi, Bi Fang, and other ancient beasts, even compared to other relics, he was still a poor kid.

“Give it to me!” The little one opened his Universe Bag, growling, and the dazzling light enveloped the area. The broken egg was directly collected and fell into the bag.

Bi Fang looked up in rage, unable to believe that someone dared to snatch food from its mouth. It had only consumed a small portion and sensed the vast essence contained in the egg, which was now being stolen.

Seeing that it was the detested human boy, it was even more furious and spread its wings to attack.

“Take it!”

The little one aimed the Universe Bag at it, eyes glowing. If he could capture a divine bird, the benefits would undoubtedly be immense, unimaginable.

“You steal the bird egg; return it with your body!” the fierce child yelled.

The stone deity on its hair sighed in silence.

Bi Fang was furious, letting out a roar. However, its body was uncontrollable and was actually flying towards the Universe Bag, which was an extremely powerful treasure.

“Stay put!” Bi Fang shouted, and one hundred and eight divine feathers appeared behind it, clanging like celestial swords, flooding the cliff.

Without a word, the little one drew the broken sword and slashed down.

Bi Fang’s expression changed, and it spat out a light ball. An extremely powerful treasure appeared, blocking the thick sword aura, causing the mountain below and the bird nest to explode.

Rocks crumbled and dust billowed. When the dust cleared, the little one’s trace was nowhere to be found.

Bi Fang’s eyes were filled with fierce light as it soared into the sky to search for the mischievous child. However, just as it reached the high altitude, a fierce bird’s long cry was heard from afar, as if a silver galaxy was rushing toward it, even angrier than it.

“Whoosh!”

Bi Fang restrained its rage and fled because the true avenger had arrived. The owner of the silver divine egg had come back.

“These guys are so bold, actually going against the grain and sneaking into the depths of Baidu Mountain to plunder the treasures of the strongest beings.” The little one continued forward, discovering traces of other ancient beast cubs like Zhu Qian and Chi Long.

It wasn’t just Bi Fang; other creatures had come in as well.



"I like it." His large eyes gleamed with excitement as he clenched his fists. How could he miss such a heaven-defying opportunity? Since he had to head into the mountains anyway, it was perfect timing to plunder behind these divine birds and fierce beasts.

"Hmm, it’s her." Soon, the little one discovered a purple-haired girl deep within the Broken Mountain, stealthily moving and cautiously advancing.

"This woman, shrouded by one hundred and eight divine rings, with a body as white and glossy as ivory, what kind of divine bird or fierce beast is she, and what opportunity is she seeking?" The little one crouched down, carefully tracking her, thinking that if necessary, he might have to stumble into her again.
