Chapter 352 Puppet War: Scorpion King Yan Ling Arrives at the Door

The Myriad Spirit Blood Essence produced in the Blood Prison Ice Plains is more suitable for cultivators of ice-attribute techniques like him, allowing him to progress faster than when he was in seclusion in the Blood Demon Sea.

Efficiency increased by about two and a half times.

In just five years, it achieved 80% of the results that took them ten years to achieve there.

The maximum mana has surged by 842 units, reaching a maximum of 2462 units. It is only 538 units away from the peak of the seventh level of Core Formation. If this pace can be maintained...

At most, it will take four years to break through to the eighth level of Core Formation.

His cultivation speed was already at its maximum, but he had to leave seclusion every now and then to find gathering points of demons. Over time, he almost completely wiped out the surrounding area.

Besides harvesting cultivation resources, blood beast crystal cores are also a very important resource. Having experienced the baptism of the dragon vein, he understands even more how rare such opportunities to enhance potential are.

He currently possesses tens of thousands of blood beast crystal cores.

However, there are only about three hundred Tier 3 Blood Beast Cores, and only a few have reached the peak of Tier 3, which are all at the level of the Blood Beast Valley Beast King, barely enough.

After acquiring the Yellow Springs Grudge Puppet, Wang Yu couldn't help but have ideas about fourth-tier blood beasts. Blood beasts are not demons, but monsters derived from the power of blood demons.

It has absolutely no wisdom.

To put it another way, just as human cultivators could crush demonic beasts of the same level during the first and second stages, fourth-level blood beasts were among the weakest of all Nascent Soul cultivators.

They are not as powerful as rogue cultivators. In terms of opportunity and testing combat strength, they are definitely the best target!

Unfortunately... even in the Blood Abyss Holy Land, fourth-tier blood beasts are extremely rare, few in number, and very difficult to find.

That day.

After descending from the summit of Red Snow Mountain, and through this period of cultivation, the quality of his magical power had increased by about 60% compared to before, and the power of the black ice he manifested had naturally increased as well.

It is already very difficult to destroy it with ordinary Core Formation techniques.

What's more troublesome is that chilling aura; if you're not careful, you'll often be completely frozen, which has improved the quality of his "ice," and the effect of the Soul-Freezing Wind on him is weakening.

However, the effect is still quite noticeable. It is estimated that the effect will completely disappear once it increases by about 1.2 times, at which point it will need to be placed in a colder place to practice.

At that time, he might head to the Endless Ice Plains, but only after the battle between the two Chos will be over.

We went down the mountain.

He did run into a few acquaintances who were chatting idly on a viewing platform on a cliff. They were Song Yun and a few ordinary elders who were trying to curry favor with him.

The highest level of cultivation is only the sixth level of Core Formation.

Elder Wang!

It must have been because Song Yun recognized his presence that he called out from afar, causing Wang Yu, who was in the form of Aurora, to change direction midway and fall straight into the observation deck.

As soon as he appeared, the other ordinary elders immediately stood up and respectfully greeted him, "Elder Wang Yu!"

It seems they've heard of his fearsome reputation in the Blood Demon Sea. While fame has its downsides, it brings far more advantages, making everything easier.

Simply put, there are more good people around us now.

That's just how the world is.

"No need for formalities."

He gestured for the others to dispense with formalities before looking at Song Yun. The fact that the other party had suddenly called him over must mean more than just getting him out of a tight spot.

That's right.

Song Yun then began to speak.

“I heard from fellow cultivators on the same peak that a new cultivator has appeared on the summit of Crimson Snow Mountain in recent years, and I knew it was Elder Wang.”

"Just say what you have to say."

"Alright."

Song Yun glanced at the people beside him and gestured for them to speak.

"Elder Wang Yu, news has recently come from the Blood Demon Sea that someone has discovered traces of the Blood Infant Fruit. We will be gathering a group of fellow cultivators from the same peak..."

"Of course, it would be wonderful if you joined us. We will all follow your command."

Wang Yu frowned after hearing this, looked at Song Yuncai and said, "Why covet such an unfounded opportunity when you lack the strength? Even if you manage to snatch it, can you hold onto it securely?"

That's the logic, and it makes perfect sense.

To truly achieve this is harder than climbing to heaven.

Song Yun gave an awkward smile.

"Isn't this just a discussion? I heard that Princess Yanling will be in seclusion at Chixue Mountain for a period of time, and her people are not necessarily unbeatable."

Based on previous interactions, Song Yun doesn't seem to be the kind of person whose desires outweigh their reason.

so……

Was it for his grandfather?

The rumor that Elder Yu Shu would definitely form a Nascent Soul has been circulating for many years, but Wang Yu doesn't know where his confidence comes from. If Song Yun is after the Blood Infant Fruit.

His idea of ​​securing this opportunity for his grandfather is perfectly understandable.

But he'll most likely die in the Blood Demon Sea.

After offering a few words of advice, having done his duty, Wang Yu decided not to linger any longer. He was also quite pressed for time and there was no need to waste it on meaningless matters.

Based on previous speculation, the Blood Infant Fruit was almost certainly in Xie Xie'an's hands. The fact that it was exposed at this juncture was probably because someone wanted to test his strength.

That's how the weak are; they're manipulated without even realizing it.

Presumably, Zhuo Shouyun's mentality was even more broken when he was in the Blood Slaughter Hall, because he is a smart man and it is harder for him to accept the fact that he was being manipulated, especially the kind of forced control.

It's no less than making him masturbate in public.

This is going to kill me!

"etc……"

Just as Wang Yu was about to leave, he was called back. Song Yun smiled憨厚ly and took out an intelligence jade slip and handed it to Wang Yu.

"This is intelligence on the Blood Prison Ice Plains collected by the elder over many years. His understanding of the Blood Abyss may not be comparable to that of families like the Zhuo Clan, but on this ice plains, it is definitely the most detailed intelligence!"

Song Yun hadn't intended to become close to the person who saved his life last time.

This time, however, he took the initiative to approach him and show goodwill, his purpose being nothing more than to ask for his help at a crucial moment, but this level of goodwill was far from enough.

After receiving it, Wang Yu didn't say much.

He simply vanished.

A few people around him said with some indignation, "They didn't even say thank you. It seems that Wang Yu is as arrogant and rude as the rumors say."

"Nonsense! Do not speak ill of Elder Wang Yu!"

"this……"

On the other end.

After reviewing the so-called detailed intelligence, it turned out to be quite helpful to Wang Yu. The map of the Blood Prison Ice Plains that Song Yun provided marked many dangerous areas.

Some were labeled "Demon," others "Blood Beast."

Extremely dangerous locations were marked in black, forbidding exploration, and Wang Yu was looking for risks that even Core Formation cultivators could not bear.

"There should be fourth-tier blood beasts in places like this, right?"

Several days later, in a crevice canyon in the northern part of the Blood Prison Icefield, which is less than a hundred meters wide but hundreds of miles long, there were giant scorpions, ice-blue in color, with blood-red pincers raised.

They were climbing up and down the steep mountainside, occasionally digging out some kind of blood rock from the soil and squeezing it dry with their scorpion pincers, from which a blood-like liquid would flow.

They are constantly searching for food.

"Blood scorpions possess strong venom and defensive capabilities. Their stingers can penetrate magical defenses. Once they swarm together, even a peak Core Formation cultivator will perish here."

Within this narrow rift, there are at least tens of thousands of blood scorpions, and this is only the part he observed; there must be many more that he didn't see.

No wonder it's a critical location marked in bold.

Wang Yu touched the small teacup-like insect container, inside which was the Immaculate Jade Toad he had raised for several years. This thing was a strange insect that could reproduce asexually.

He had waited for so many years, but the Jade Toad showed no signs of laying eggs. He never expected that it would come in handy now.

"Little guy, if you don't do something useful soon, your life is coming to an end."

The Immaculate Jade Toad could not understand Wang Yu's words.

Its intelligence is similar to that of insects, and its favorite thing to do is to daydream. Wang Yu only needs to feed it some poison and it will survive. It is very easy to raise.

The snow jade in his arms couldn't help but stir.

It's quite amusing that they seem to be sleeping but are actually eavesdropping.

"It's on."

With the Glazed Ice Heart Tower activated to protect himself, Wang Yu transformed into a beam of light, his right hand holding the Yellow Spring Demon Sword as he swiftly swept across the rift valley.

Wherever it passed, blood scorpions fell like raindrops.

Within a few breaths, a thin layer of corpses had accumulated at the bottom, and more blood scorpions emerged from the dark corners, chasing after Wang Yu from afar with sharp hisses.

This cry caused a complete uproar throughout the Blood Scorpion Rift.

The icy blue mist spread rapidly, filling the entire rift valley, leaving no way to escape.

With the Immaculate Jade Toad placed on his shoulder, the little creature opened its mouth wide and swallowed all the poisonous mist that was within ten feet of Wang Yu. Its white jade-like body began to turn blue.

Based on the characteristics of the Immaculate Jade Toad, anything that can change its body color indicates some degree of indigestion, which shows that the Blood Scorpion's venom is far more than just a common third-tier potent poison.

It was essentially more powerful. The ice mist, now drained of its toxicity, posed little threat to Wang Yu, making it much easier to kill the Blood Scorpion.

Often, throwing the Yellow Spring Demon Sword would allow him to make a round trip, achieving remarkable results, piercing the heads of at least a dozen blood scorpions in one go.

As the pile of blood scorpion corpses grew thicker at the bottom of the already narrow rift, even more blood scorpions gathered in the area where Wang Yu was active.

finally.

Tier 3 Blood Scorpions began to appear in large numbers.

Given their carapace defense, the sharpness of the Yellow Spring Demon Sword alone is no longer sufficient; the Yellow Spring Sword Aura of this treasure must be activated.

After the Yellow Spring Great Handprint is perfected.

Wang Yu naturally developed some derivative uses, such as wielding the sword with Huang Quan's power, which perfectly combined supernatural abilities and magical treasures, resulting in a surge in the power of the sword light he unleashed.

With the corrosive power of the Yellow Springs Path's divine abilities, a mere third-tier blood scorpion could be wiped out in an instant, and at the same time, Wang Yu was constantly absorbing the killing aura.

Nourish your Asura's killing intent and gradually increase the power of your killing fist.

It can be said that cultivation is integrated into every aspect of life.

Not a moment was wasted.

After an unknown period of time, blood scorpions continued to emerge from the corners, seemingly endless, and even the Immaculate Jade Toad turned pale blue.

It already contains more than half of the toxins.

At a certain moment.

The earth suddenly cracked open, and a gigantic blood scorpion over a hundred meters long crawled out from the ground. Its pincers slammed down like a mountain, slamming Wang Yu violently into the cliff face.

This caused the ground within a radius of 100 meters to appear fragmented.

Wang Yu rubbed his shoulders and burst out of the dust. With the speed of the aurora, his figure quickly rose into the air. The Yellow Springs Grudge Puppet rushed out and slapped the Blood Scorpion King away.

This is the early-stage fourth-tier blood beast he's been looking for.

Besides collecting Blood Beast Cores, the secondary objective of this trip is to test the combat capabilities of the Earth Grudge Puppet.

Wang Yu primarily used his divine sense as a supplement, elevating it to a certain level.

He then focused his attention on remotely controlling the puppet to fight the Blood Scorpion King, his hands constantly changing hand seals, and a pair of Yellow Spring Hands, even more powerful than those used by Wang Yu, suddenly materialized.

Each finger is hundreds of meters long, with every detail clearly visible.

With the length of my hand and forearm, I could grasp the Blood Scorpion King as if I were holding a doll. The turbid currents of the Yellow Springs washed over it, refining it into a bloody mess.

The Blood Scorpion King roared to the sky and thrust its stinger swiftly.

It actually pierced through the Yellow Springs Hands, and the giant pincers swung like a collapsing mountain, carrying endless cold currents, completely shattering the two Yellow Springs Hands!

The Blood Scorpion King suddenly leaped up and pounced on the Yellow Springs Grudge Puppet.

Seeing this, Wang Yu unleashed a soul-destroying death ray from between his brows. The Mirror of Immobilization spun around him, and under the death ray that annihilated his soul and the eerie pressure, he actually managed to pin him in mid-air for a moment.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Earth Grudge Puppet's right arm shot out like a cannonball, with thin, black and yellow fiber-like threads extending from its torso and connecting to its right arm.

His right arm, however, transformed halfway through into a long, spear-like bone weapon!

—The Evil World Spear of the Underworld!

The Puppet Demon Bone possessed one of the Yellow Springs Path's divine abilities, pushing its spell-breaking power to the extreme. It suddenly pierced through the Blood Scorpion King, and its right arm, which had been shot out, suddenly exploded into a grotesque mass of bone spikes.

The Blood Scorpion King was completely restrained, and black lines of resentment danced wildly.

As the Earth Grudge Puppet swung violently, the Blood Scorpion King crashed into the mountainside ravine with a deafening roar, like a meteorite falling to earth.

At that time, a dim, yellowish light flickered.

One after another, incantations flew out from the puppet's most powerful spinal demon bone, constructing a giant white bone sword thousands of meters long in mid-air, covered with Yellow Springs incantations.

It plunged fiercely into the spot where the Blood Scorpion King had fallen.

—The Cursed Sword that Buries Bones in the Underworld!

It is estimated that this was the innate divine power that the demonic bone had cultivated before its death, and its power must have reached the fourth level. Under such a heavy blow, this area of ​​terrain completely collapsed.

It was as terrifying as if the world were about to be destroyed.

After the smoke and dust were dispersed, the Blood Scorpion King collapsed weakly in the center of the ruins, its life force gone.

They were completely overwhelmed and defeated by the Yellow Springs Grudge Puppet, and Wang Yu's crucial interference was of paramount importance.

"It's much weaker than I expected."

Compared to the pressure from Black Heaven Talisman Lord, the Blood Scorpion King's pressure was at most one percent, which has some reference value, but not as great as imagined.

It's estimated that he'll only be able to accurately assess the strength of a Nascent Soul cultivator after he actually has a real fight with one.

After putting away the puppet and examining it, Wang Yu felt a pang of heartache. This attack had cost at least six or seven hundred thousand spirit stones, and that last strike was his full strength.

It's powerful, but it also consumes a lot of energy!

Fortunately, the harvest was quite good. He killed thousands of ordinary blood scorpions, and the crystal core of this blood scorpion king was worth much more than the spirit stones he spent.

The Yellow Springs Grudge Puppet cannot be used as a regular method for the time being, otherwise it will result in a loss every time it is used.

Unless you're trying to save your life, it's more worthwhile to use it to make money.

It took most of the day to clean up the battlefield.

After returning to Crimson Snow Mountain, Wang Yu planned to replenish the puppet to its full strength before going out to seek revenge on the demons, but unexpectedly, Yan Ling, whom he hadn't seen for a while, came to visit him.

"Fellow Daoist Wang."

"Your Highness Yanling."

Could it be that they're after the Blood Infant Fruit, coming at this time?

According to Wang Yu's divine sense, Yan Ling had reached the fifth level of Core Formation, which was not slow considering her cultivation speed with her Heavenly Spiritual Root.

It must be thanks to Blood Abyss that he has progressed so quickly.

This time, Wang Yu guessed wrong.

Returning to Crimson Snow Mountain at this time was actually Yan Ling's idea to get away from the eye of the storm.
