SACRED BODY OF THE IMMORTALS

Chapter 1174 - 1174 Blood Fiend

Deep within the Void Heaven Realm, Jun Xiaoyao wandered and pondered.

At first, he had assumed the Void Heaven Realm would be a simple trial.

But now, the situation had grown far more complicated.

The Void Heaven Realm itself seemed to harbor some kind of secret.

Such as whatever had triggered the bloodline resonance of his Holy Body.

And then there was the Cang Clan, the forbidden family from beyond the Nine Heavens, appearing one after another.

Originally, these forces had all been lurking behind the scenes.

But now, they had all surfaced.

Did this mean that the Life Forbidden Zones beyond the Nine Heavens were also growing restless?

There was another point worth considering.

Jun Xiaoyao had not forgotten the matter of the curse on the Holy Body lineage.

Previously, in the Black Abyss, an ancient ruin within the Underworld, he had investigated and uncovered certain details.

Those who had participated in the Holy Body curse, aside from the Underworld,

apparently also included the Life Forbidden Zones and the Immortal Island.

If the Forbidden Zones were to emerge later, the Immortal Island would naturally surface as well.

"Since the Life Forbidden Zones may surface in the future, the matter of the Holy Body curse must be thoroughly investigated."

Jun Xiaoyao thought to himself.

He believed that before the Life Forbidden Zones truly appeared in the world,

the forbidden families would serve as vanguards and show themselves first.

"But for now, I still need to focus on the opportunities within the Void Heaven Realm."

Jun Xiaoyao continued forward.

In truth, there were not many Immortal Academy disciples still remaining inside the Void Heaven Realm.

After all, the deeper one ventured into the Void Heaven Realm, the greater the danger.

Aside from a rare few exceptional talents, it was hard for anyone to guarantee their soul would not be destroyed.

Before long,

Jun Xiaoyao finally arrived at the Blood Fiend Illusory Realm, deep within the Void Heaven Realm.

This was a forbidden ground at the very core of the Void Heaven Realm's deepest reaches.

Even in previous Void Heaven Realm trials, no one who had entered had ever come back out.

In truth, the moment they stepped inside the Blood Fiend Illusory Realm, their souls would be annihilated.

"The bloodline resonance belonging to the Holy Body is growing stronger and stronger." Jun Xiaoyao murmured to himself.

His soul power surged, boundless and inexhaustible, as he stepped directly into the Blood Fiend Illusory Realm.

In an instant, Jun Xiaoyao felt as though he had arrived in a world drenched in crimson.

As far as the eye could see, everything was blood-red.

It resembled an ancient battlefield, stained with a layer of hauntingly vivid blood.

Phantom visions left over from ancient times began to emerge.

Ancient great emperors clashed, and primordial fierce beasts fought for supremacy.

All things beneath the heavens bled into rivers.

It looked like the collapse of an era, a world-shaking great battle.

Vaguely, Jun Xiaoyao also glimpsed golden qi and blood surging into the sky, with roars that echoed across all eight directions of the universe.

"That is, a Great Perfection Holy Body!"

Jun Xiaoyao was utterly astonished.

Just what kind of great battle had this been, that even the Holy Body lineage had been drawn into it?

And yet...

If such a terrifying great battle had truly occurred, why had it never been recorded?

The existing records of the Void Heaven Realm were only vague accounts, describing it as a place of spatial chaos formed by the collision of supreme powerhouses.

Jun Xiaoyao had a faint feeling that this great battle must have held extraordinarily significant meaning.

It may even have been a major turning point in the Immortal Domain.

Yet it had been deliberately erased, never inscribed into the ancient histories.

And the contributions of the Holy Body lineage in this great battle had also been deliberately buried, never passed down through the mouths of the world.

"The unknown secrets keep piling up." Jun Xiaoyao furrowed his brow.

Just then,

those lingering visions trembled like ripples on water.

From deep within the Blood Fiend Illusory Realm, a thunderous roar suddenly rang out.

Fierce and surging qi and blood billowed beneath the blood-colored sky,

and transformed into a Blood Fiend Thunder Dragon.

"What terrifying qi and blood power..."

Even Jun Xiaoyao's pupils trembled slightly.

From just a single strand of qi and blood, a Blood Fiend Thunder Dragon had taken form.

That strand of qi and blood must have come from an unimaginably powerful being.

It was even very likely an ancestor of the Holy Body lineage.

Jun Xiaoyao now understood.

Why he had experienced that special bloodline resonance of the Holy Body.

"Could it be that one of the ancestors of the Holy Body lineage was among the supreme powerhouses whose clash gave rise to the Void Heaven Realm?"

A bold conjecture formed in Jun Xiaoyao's mind.

Roar!

The Blood Fiend Thunder Dragon's aura was overwhelmingly powerful.

Especially within the Blood Fiend Illusory Realm, where it could also receive an amplification boost from the environment.

And Jun Xiaoyao, the moment he stepped into the Blood Fiend Illusory Realm, had his soul severely suppressed.

If his soul had not been strong enough,

he might have been annihilated by the blood fiend energy within the Blood Fiend Illusory Realm, even without the Blood Fiend Thunder Dragon.

This blood energy was supremely rigid and yang in nature.

While the soul, by contrast, was yin.

So it would naturally be greatly restrained.

No wonder the Blood Fiend Illusory Realm was a forbidden ground within the Void Heaven Realm that no one had ever set foot in.

The Blood Fiend Thunder Dragon charged toward Jun Xiaoyao, opening its mouth to unleash Blood Fiend Divine Thunder.

This kind of thunder had an extreme suppressive effect on spiritual souls and primordial spirits.

Jun Xiaoyao activated his soul technique.

The Great Sun Tathagata dharma form manifested, radiating brilliant golden light, immovable as a mountain, standing before Jun Xiaoyao.

Boom!

The entire Great Sun Tathagata dharma form shuddered, and cracks actually began to appear across its surface.

"So powerful."

Jun Xiaoyao's gaze grew solemn.

If he were in his true body at full strength, dealing with this Blood Fiend Thunder Dragon would be no trouble at all.

But right now, Jun Xiaoyao was purely in soul form, and only a portion of his soul's power at that.

The Great Sun Tathagata dharma form was crumbling.

And at this critical moment,

suddenly, a sky full of pitch-black flame sword feathers came slashing at Jun Xiaoyao from behind.

"Huang Nie Dao."

A cold gleam flashed in Jun Xiaoyao's eyes.

Behind him, the figure of Huang Nie Dao materialized.

He had also pried information from an Immortal Academy disciple.

Later, Jun Xiaoyao had appeared, slaughtered the members of the Cang Clan, and obtained the Six Paths of Reincarnation Immortal Root.

Huang Nie Dao was naturally unwilling to let Jun Xiaoyao keep the Six Paths of Reincarnation Immortal Root.

So he too had ventured deep into the Void Heaven Realm, tracking down Jun Xiaoyao's whereabouts.

When Jun Xiaoyao fell into danger, he intended to launch a sneak attack from the shadows and eliminate him in a single strike.

"Jun Xiaoyao, should I call you bold, or should I call you foolish, to actually dare kill members of the Cang Clan."

"Provoking the Cang Clan won't end well for you. Why not let me take that Six Paths of Reincarnation Immortal Root off your hands."

A cold smile played on Huang Nie Dao's face.

Jun Xiaoyao's expression was indifferent, his soul light surging around him, blocking the power of those flame sword feathers.

However, Huang Nie Dao raised his hand once more, and endless undying flames condensed into a pitch-black spear.

This was a technique of the Undying Soul.

The pitch-black spear was wreathed in flames capable of burning even the soul to nothing, and it was hurled toward Jun Xiaoyao.

At the same time, the Blood Fiend Thunder Dragon also charged toward Jun Xiaoyao.

It could be said that without some extraordinary means, Jun Xiaoyao's soul might be annihilated right then and there.

And with that, his chance to explore the secrets of the Void Heaven Realm would be lost.

A mocking smile was just about to form on Huang Nie Dao's handsome face, when he noticed that Jun Xiaoyao's expression was as calm as still water.

"Hm?"

Huang Nie Dao sensed something was off.

Jun Xiaoyao said nothing.

Between his brows, an ancient imperial talisman manifested, carrying with it an aura of supreme majesty.

In an instant, a vast and mighty imperial might swept across the entire Blood Fiend Illusory Realm.

Vaguely, a blurred and towering silhouette seemed to materialize between heaven and earth.

It was unmistakably the phantom of the Luan Gu Emperor.

And the imperial talisman Jun Xiaoyao had brought forth was naturally the imperial weapon that guarded the soul, the Luan Gu Imperial Talisman.

As the imperial dao radiance of the Luan Gu Imperial Talisman shone forth,

not far away, another group of mysterious individuals who had been searching for opportunities deep within the Void Heaven Realm caught sight of the Luan Gu Emperor's phantom, and their expressions instantly changed, turning ice-cold.

"Could it be... that the successor of Luan Gu has appeared in the world once more?"
