Ye Zhen, unable to offer insights on formation cracking, is tasked by Second Grand Power Sacrifice Tongna to investigate an erupting Blood Light Formation at Laiyang Fortress within a month. Despite opposition from other Power Sacrifices concerned about the dangerous environment and recent heavy losses, Ye Zhen accepts the mission. He secretly intends to investigate the formation himself, as it poses a threat to his soldiers and he has a potential, yet unproven, method to break it.

To achieve victory in every battle, one must first know oneself and know the enemy!

The already fallen Laiyang Fortress has seen the fall of so many Dao Realm practitioners and Void Hunting Kings. How could Ye Zhen, who is at a half-step Dao Realm, not be cautious?

If Ye Zhen were to boldly charge straight in, it would truly be reckless!

Upon reaching Chengling Fortress, Ye Zhen traversed underground using the Innate Five Elements Divine Escape, reaching a position approximately ten thousand miles from the beleaguered Laiyang Fortress, then sending the Little Demon from underground to act freely.

Ye Zhen’s first phase of the plan was to use the Little Demon as eyes, to investigate the strength and weaknesses of the Demon Clan experts stationed at Laiyang Fortress, and even to have the Little Demon help ascertain the Blood Light Grand Formation that had already erupted underground at Laiyang Fortress.

If the Little Demon could succeed, the time-bound mission from the Second Grand Power Sacrifice Tongna would be without difficulty.

"Father, the negative power in this underground is truly..." The Little Demon’s voice suddenly turned strained.

"The negative power is too strong. Even with Yimu Spiritual Power supporting it, the plants I urge forward cannot last even three breaths once within a hundred-mile range of Laiyang Fortress!" said the Little Demon.

Ye Zhen’s brows furrowed deeply, "Since the Spirit Plants you are propagating can’t go deeper, then retreat. Try to see if you can control the natural plants nearby to act as eyes and ears!"

"Father, under the corrosive impact of that blood light’s negative power, within a five-thousand-mile radius of Laiyang Fortress, not even a blade of grass grows...."

"I see...."

The corners of Ye Zhen’s mouth curled into a helpless smile. This mysterious Blood Light Grand Formation beneath Laiyang Fortress was indeed formidable, rendering the Little Demon useless.

Even from such a distance, the Little Demon’s powers were affected, and if it went deeper, the impact would probably be even greater.

But then again, beings like the Little Demon, cultivating Yimu Spiritual Power brimming with vitality, loathe these negative energies full of brutality and death most.

"Come back first, I’ll think of another way!"

After half a quarter-hour, Ye Zhen found a relatively secluded underground cave. Then, he had the Mirage Dragon Primordial Spirit, Achou, lay multiple illusions outside.

Once the safety arrangements were made, Ye Zhen activated his Divine Sense, teleporting Big Ears Nie Ting from the Mirage Dragon Pearl Sequential Space.

After Louu Bainian’s painstaking cultivation in the Mirage Dragon Pearl Sequential Space, Big Ears Nie Ting’s cultivation had reached a half-step Dao Realm.

According to Big Ears Nie Ting’s own estimation, in no more than another sixty years, he would securely break through to the Dao Realm.

This made Ye Zhen, who found reaching the Dao Realm seemingly out of reach, feel a bit envious!

It can’t be helped; this is just the advantage of being born well.

This is the power of Big Ears Nie Ting’s Ancient Human Bloodline.

The Ancient Human Bloodline is a rare lineage combining all the strengths of the Demon Race and Human Clan.

Human bloodlines are naturally weak, and their cultivation speed is slow, but they are favored by the heavens and naturally have a bit of undying True Spirit. The higher the cultivation, the more they can utilize this Divine Soul True Spirit.

This grants humans unlimited potential for growth.

Demon bloodlines determine rank by bloodline strength, with powerful ones possessing immense strength at birth.

Through bloodline inheritance, they can gain great power and innate divine abilities in a short period.

However, aside from a few with noble Ancient Bloodlines, most Demon Beasts find their progress slow after reaching the Ninth Stage Peak of Realm King Realm.

Especially when comprehending the power of Heaven and Earth Laws, they require several times the effort to achieve the same effect as humans.

But the Ancient Human Bloodline combines all the strengths of humans and demons without their drawbacks!

Innately possessing immense power or divine abilities, and as long as there are enough cultivation resources, their cultivation speed is not slow.

Upon reaching the Ninth Stage of Realm King Realm, they not only have an undying True Spirit like humans, making their understanding of Heaven and Earth Laws doubly effective.

Moreover, their powerful bloodline inheritance allows them to break through to the Dao Realm without any barriers, until they reach the upper limit set by their bloodline inheritance.

And for Big Ears Nie Ting, currently known as the Ancient Human Bloodline of the Heavenly Sound Clan, the Dao Realm has no barrier for him.

As long as his time accumulates, he can comprehend the corresponding Heaven and Earth Laws and divine abilities from his bloodline inheritance, thoroughly breaking through to the Dao Realm.

Big Ears Nie Ting is in such a state currently.

In just another sixty years, he can thoroughly break through to the Dao Realm.

And sixty years in Ye Zhen’s Mirage Dragon Pearl Sequential Space is just half a year.

"Nie Ting, report to me in real-time the movement of the martial artists at Laiyang Fortress, especially those around my position.

If any large group or powerful aura approaches my position swiftly, notify me immediately!" Ye Zhen instructed Big Ears Nie Ting.

"No problem, rest assured, my master!"

Big Ears Nie Ting gave Ye Zhen an ’all good’ gesture with a radiant smile.

For their Heavenly Sound Clan, breaking through to the Dao Realm is akin to reaching adulthood.

Before reaching the Dao Realm, it is considered the growth phase, and during this phase, the Heavenly Sound Clan is quite vulnerable.

Comparatively, they are more susceptible to danger.

Even same-level martial artists have the ability to seriously injure or even kill them.

However, once they break through to the Dao Realm and reach adulthood, things become different.

To be honest, over the years, he’s very grateful to Ye Zhen.

The Heavenly Sound Clan requires not just time but massive amounts of cultivation resources to reach adulthood.

If not for Ye Zhen’s support, he might never see the hope of adulthood in this lifetime.

Let alone having the assistance of Ye Zhen’s Mirage Dragon Pearl Sequential Space to achieve adulthood in a short period.

Hence, he truly appreciates Ye Zhen.

Calling Ye Zhen ’my master’ is heartfelt!

"If anything changes, cooperate with me in battle, and also ensure your own safety. If you notice any experts attacking you, notify me immediately!" Before leaving, Ye Zhen reiterated to Nie Ting.

"Rest assured!"

Big Ears Nie Ting gave Ye Zhen a bright smile.

As Ye Zhen departed, the bright smile was followed by an overwhelming gloom.

This gloom was not directed at Ye Zhen.

Instead, it arose from his growth and impending adulthood, having inherited the strength of their bloodline from the Heavenly Sound Clan, also bearing the past of the Heavenly Sound Clan.

The scenes left in the bloodline inheritance from the time of the Heavenly Sound Clan’s annihilation had firmly placed this burden upon him.

This time, Ye Zhen did not use the cat’s speed but silently applied the Innate Five Elements Divine Escape, quietly moving through the underground towards Laiyang Fortress.

Upon entering within a thousand-mile radius of Laiyang Fortress, the blood light and negative energy assailed Ye Zhen, causing him to frown.

The radiation range of the blood light emanating from underground was only a hundred miles in diameter, yet it could affect a thousand-mile radius.

Despite Ye Zhen’s resistance, this radiation was inconsequential, but in large-scale battles, it posed a significant impact on soldiers with ordinary cultivation.

Moreover, the deeper one goes, the stronger this impact becomes.

Soon, Ye Zhen stealthily reached a hundred miles outside Laiyang Fortress, officially entering the coverage range of the underground Blood Light Grand Formation.

Upon entry, Ye Zhen’s brow suddenly tensed.

It was an intensely imposing repulsion.

Ye Zhen felt that entering this area was akin to a lamb among wolves, a white pixel in black, or a living being amidst corpses, standing out conspicuously.

It was as if he were exposed under countless eyes.

This made Ye Zhen exceedingly uncomfortable.

Countless streams of blood light and negative energies surged towards him, compelling Ye Zhen to employ the most pure and fierce Thunderclap Barrier to withstand these forces.

However, using the Thunderclap Barrier for protection rendered Ye Zhen feeling even more exposed.

"Master, be careful; there are over fifteen Dao Realm Demon Lords’ auras slowly moving toward your direction as if searching!"

The transmission from Big Ears caused a sudden shock in Ye Zhen’s expression, as he abruptly started to grasp the essence of this Blood Light Grand Formation.
