Ye Chenfeng noticed the hundred and eight Blood Springs formed a hidden Formation and activated it. A blood-red vision revealed the sealed ancient Bloodswallow Clan members slumbering in a blood-filled space. Old Bai and Old Hei explained the clan's scheme to disguise their ancestral land as a Divine Emperor’s tomb, luring intruders to unseal them, and urged Ye Chenfeng to urgently find his companions and escape before the clan awakens.

Ye Chenfeng gazed at the one hundred and eight blood springs scattered on the ground.

He chose not to depart right away. These blood springs held immense value for the Bloodswallow Clan, and if they fully awakened, he couldn’t link up with Bai Xiaorou and the others to escape together. In that case, a direct clash with the Bloodswallow Clan would be inevitable.

Thus, the wisest move now was to obliterate these one hundred and eight blood springs.

Ye Chenfeng covered the one hundred and eight blood springs with nearby soil, then channeled his spiritual energy to pack the earth tightly, ensuring no blood could leak through.

Before long, every one of the one hundred and eight blood springs was completely sealed off.

The canyon floor started shaking wildly, a direct result of sealing those one hundred and eight blood springs.

The quakes grew fiercer by the moment, as though a mighty power underground was ready to burst forth.

Ye Chenfeng dashed swiftly out of the canyon, and right after his departure.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!” Explosive booms echoed relentlessly through the air.

Bloody geysers erupted skyward, followed quickly by fissures spiderwebbing across the canyon walls.

“Boom!” A thunderous final blast.

The whole canyon crumbled entirely, and those one hundred and eight blood springs inside were undoubtedly shattered by Ye Chenfeng.

Yet.

Once the one hundred and eight blood springs lay destroyed, a cold shiver crept up Ye Chenfeng’s back, like an unseen gaze upon him. He scanned his surroundings intently but detected nothing unusual, dismissing it as nerves since neither Old Bai nor Old Hei sensed any threat.

Glancing back at the ruined canyon, Ye Chenfeng turned away and departed. He shared identical communication jade tokens with Bai Xiaorou and the group, letting them detect each other’s location within range.

Traveling southward.

An hour into his trek, Ye Chenfeng faced no further perils and spotted no souls, proving the Bloodswallow Clan’s ancestral land spanned enormous distances. His pace abruptly stopped as a burst of rainbow radiance caught his eye far to the right.

Ye Chenfeng lingered for a few seconds before hurrying toward the glow, reaching it in mere moments.

Before him stretched a spacious clearing roughly the size of a playground, dotted with stone tables. Wooden boxes of assorted sizes rested atop each table.

The boxes had sprung open, displaying immortal artifacts, supreme secret techniques, and unmatched cultivation methods in dazzling profusion.

Around a dozen cultivators, ranging from First to Seventh Layer of the Heavenly God Realm, encircled the zone, barred from entry by a pervasive barrier.

Still, their gazes burned with desire, locked on the riches inside.

Observing from a distance, Ye Chenfeng furrowed his brow slightly. This was the Bloodswallow Clan’s ancestral ground, and he along with Old Bai and Old Hei had surmised the clan’s scheme: drawing in cultivators to erode the seal bit by bit.

Such supreme treasures wouldn’t manifest without purpose. Ye Chenfeng felt no concern for these folks’ doom, but to thwart the Bloodswallow Clan’s revival, he bellowed, “I advise you to stay away from this place.”

His warning briefly stunned the dozen Heavenly God Realm cultivators. Spotting him solo, they scoffed in disdain.

“Bang!” An abrupt noise.

Right then.

The protective energy around the area vanished in a flash, and unblocked, the dozen Heavenly God Realm cultivators ignored Ye Chenfeng entirely, drawn irresistibly to the treasures within.

They charged ahead in a frenzy, desperate lest others snatch the prizes first, while Ye Chenfeng hung back, held off by Old Bai and Old Hei’s cautions against stepping inside.

Each of the dozen Heavenly God Realm cultivators seized a treasure, their faces beaming with thrill as they murmured excitedly.

“An Immortal Artifact! It really is an Immortal Artifact! I never thought I’d own one in my lifetime.” A Seventh Layer Initial Stage Heavenly God Realm cultivator clutched a crimson longsword radiating formidable power.

“Top-tier Secret Technique? Is this the legendary technique above the Five-Star Secret Method? Hahaha—” A Sixth Layer Heavenly God Realm elder cackled madly.

Having claimed their desired prizes, these dozen Heavenly God Realm cultivators turned their sights back to Ye Chenfeng, taunting him with jovial mockery.

“Kid, you told us to stay away from here? You think you are something? Or are you trying to take all the treasures for yourself? If so, your idea is ridiculous.”

“This kid’s head might be useful, let’s all rely on our abilities! Whoever gets his head, it’ll be theirs.”

As the Heavenly God Realm cultivators smugly reveled in their complacency, in a flash, their treasures—the immortal artifacts and secret techniques—vanished into thin air, twisting their expressions in shock.

However.

Yet before they could even respond, the entire area got shrouded by a powerful enclosing force anew.

“Bang! Bang! Bang!—” Explosive sounds boomed one after another.

One by one, these cultivators' bodies detonated in sequence, their faces overcome with horror while those whose explosions lagged behind wildly assaulted the surrounding energy field, but escape from the zone proved impossible.

At that instant, all disdain and mockery aimed at Ye Chenfeng vanished from their faces, replaced by frantic pleas as they screamed, “Save us, help, please save us!”

Still, the pace of their bodily explosions showed no mercy, and the energy barrier blocking them likely surpassed anything Ye Chenfeng could shatter.

The Heavenly God Realm cultivators' bodies transformed into rivers of blood, saturating the earth below.

Their blood surged into a forming pattern on the ground, gradually shaping a vivid red “live” character.

Old Bai and Old Hei gasped together, “Undying Seal?”
