Splash!
The Black Blood River was vast and mighty, but it did not spread out. Instead, it continued to condense, eventually covering only a radius of a hundred feet, constantly squeezing towards the center!
Ye Wuque stood inside, seemingly with nowhere to escape, completely sealed off.
But his gaze remained fixed on Fairy Youyun on the painted boat.
Fairy Youyun was also looking down at her.
"Fellow Daoist Ye, you have one last chance to board the ship. Once you're on board, everything will return to normal, and you will reap great rewards."
Why go against fate?
"You are a prodigy, I hope you don't ruin your own life."
Fairy Youyun's voice was slow and deliberate, and still sounded very moving.
Standing in the center of the Blood River, Ye Wuque smiled again and gently shook his head.
Splash!
Almost the instant Ye Wuque shook his head, the surrounding Black Blood River surged and churned, transforming into countless vengeful spirits that lunged at him with bared fangs and claws!
The intense aura of corrosion and destruction was so powerful it was suffocating, and Ye Wuque was instantly engulfed within it.
But before even a breath had passed, an incredibly intense golden light burst forth from the Black Blood River!
That's blood and energy!
The vast and mighty golden blood energy, like a fountain soaring into the sky, crushed everything in all directions. The Black Blood River immediately seemed to have met its nemesis, and the wronged souls began to wail in agony before turning to ashes!
A terrifyingly high temperature spread out, and the golden blood energy directly transformed into a golden ocean, which in turn surrounded and crushed the black blood river. At a visible speed, the black blood river began to evaporate and be obliterated, and finally collapsed completely.
Ye Wuque's figure reappeared, his body brimming with powerful blood energy, making him resemble a golden flame war god!
boom!
A pitch-black, grotesque hand suddenly emerged from the shattered, dozens-of-zhang-long black hole, causing the void to expand rapidly to a thousand zhang in an instant, and directly grabbed at Ye Wuque!
Ye Wuque slightly raised his eyes, made a claw mark with his right hand, and swept out with a dragon claw hand.
Aww!
The domineering dragon roar reverberated, and the dragon claw tore through the void, indestructible and with overwhelming momentum, instantly crushing the dark, monstrous hand!
But under Ye Wuque's control, the Dragon Claw Hand continued its momentum, transforming into a ferocious golden dragon that charged directly into the shattered black hole!
The powerful and overwhelming force stirred up the earth, causing mountains to shake.
Instantly, the entire huge pleasure boat began to tremble violently, shaking wildly.
"Sin, negativity..."
There are so many annoying things about this.
In an instant, Ye Wuque sensed the aura and fluctuations inside the painted boat.
Without Ye Wuque making any move, the golden blood energy around him immediately exploded out in a mighty and surging manner, rushing directly into the broken black hole!
Ye Wuque flicked his finger, and the Red Lotus Karmic Flame reappeared, also being flicked into it.
The whole process was lightning fast and completed in one go.
Which is easier to deal with: golden blood energy or crimson lotus karmic fire?
It's a perfect match for my major right now!
Whoosh!
Almost instantly, the entire painted boat began to shake violently from the inside out!
From every empty and visible area of the painted boat, golden blood energy and crimson lotus karmic fire emanated, burning fiercely and endlessly obliterating everything.
No one knows what's inside the giant pleasure boat, but right now, whatever it is, it has become fuel for the Red Lotus Karmic Fire and a target for the golden blood energy to unleash its full power.
In just a few breaths, the entire painted boat was transformed into a strange sea of fire!
The karmic fire of the Red Lotus burned ever brighter and ever-present, reducing all the previous splendid and exquisite decorations to ashes.
Standing at the front of the painted boat, Fairy Youyun was now also stained with the Red Lotus Karmic Flame, which burned fiercely. She was like a wisp of green smoke, instantly turning to ashes!
This Fairy Youyun is certainly not the real Fairy Youyun!
Rather, it was a figment of the imagination created by the strange creatures on the ship based on some cause and effect of Ye Wuque, in an attempt to lull Ye Wuque into a false sense of security and get him to board the pleasure boat.
But the moment Ye Wuque saw the giant painted boat, he sensed its strangeness, and when Fairy Youyun appeared, he could immediately tell that she was not human!
The giant painted boat, engulfed in flames, emitted eerie, fragmented sounds, as if something was wailing in agony!
However, the power of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire was too terrifying. With the right expertise, the sins on the pleasure boat were too numerous to burn out; they would only grow stronger.
Soon, the giant painted boat was burned to a crisp, and all its exquisite decorations were burned to ashes. For example, the eighteen red lanterns had also been reduced to ashes.
But the ship's skeleton is still intact, and it survived the Red Lotus Karmic Fire unscathed, which is clearly no small feat.
It must be said that if this painted barge had encountered any other Saint King, it would have been incredibly terrifying. The bloody heads displayed inside the red lanterns were the best proof of its past ferocious battles!
But then he ran into Ye Wuque!
The combined power of the crimson lotus karmic fire and golden blood energy on the giant painted boat completely suppressed it, striking at its very root.
The starry sky was already filled with a pungent, burnt smell.
The once magnificent pleasure boat is now just a charred and dilapidated skeleton, looking ugly and cheap.
Ye Wuque, who had been standing with his hands behind his back, finally revealed a faint smile.
"Look how beautiful and elegant you look now."
"All those fancy decorations and designs were too flashy and impractical."
Ye Wuque's tone carried a hint of admiration.
Rumble!
The charred ship skeleton immediately began to tremble, and an extremely ferocious aura began to permeate, threatening to boil the void.
Clearly, the true abomination of this ferocious creature resided, or rather, was the ship's skeleton itself. Although its exterior was burned, its core power remained and had not been extinguished.
Ye Wuque naturally understood this perfectly.
He's ready to take action and completely dismantle the ship's frame!
But in that tense moment...
Buzz!
A strange, ancient, and transcendent aura suddenly appeared, as if it came from an unknown time and space, carrying a grand will from the darkness, which transformed into a deathly, indistinct shout.
"The Saint King Ye Wuque..."
"Encountering the 'Soul-Devouring Boat', based on strength assessment... I can defeat it single-handedly!"
Judging from his strength and foundation... he far surpasses others of the same level!
"If the conditions are met... you can be directly teleported to the 'Avenue for Understanding the Past and Present'..."
"Teleportation begins... Countdown..."
The sudden, muffled shout immediately broke the tense atmosphere!
Ye Wuque's eyes flickered slightly.
A platform for understanding the past and present?
This sounds like an amazing place!
Is it simply because he's capable of soloing this "Soul-Eating Boat" that appears on this route?
Are there other Saint Kings who have achieved similar feats on other teleportation routes?
So how far is this "Platform for Understanding the Past and Present" from the "Ultimate Ancient Pass"?
Just as Ye Wuque was pondering, a vast pillar of light instantly enveloped him and disappeared in an instant.
