Hong Ling realizes Chen Xuan also knows about the Spiritual Spring and worries Qingsui might find it first. He searches near the Spirit Pool, but a strange phenomenon of two lights appears instead of the Spiritual Spring, causing Hong Ling to retreat. Chen Xuan begins irrigating his Yuan seedling with blood, which prompts a voice in his mind demanding more. He wonders if Zhan Tian's seedling also wants blood and irrigates it, causing Zhan Tian to hear a similar voice.

However, at this very moment, an overwhelming, inexplicable sensation made him feel utterly uncomfortable, beyond his control!

It was a profound sense of helplessness, as if crying out to heaven yielded no response, and pleading with earth proved futile!

Who was he, truly?

He was Zhan Tian!

The peerless prodigy of Great Yu, the first to cultivate the Sacred Body!

What, then, was this cosmic joke playing upon him?

"Boom!"

The chaotic tumult within him surged to an unbearable peak, and he could no longer restrain himself, bursting forth without hesitation.

His heart raged with a desire to kill!

A desperate need to lash out!

A formidable aura erupted, violently shaking the surrounding void, causing earth-shattering tremors. A resplendent light burst forth from his body, bathing the entire area in an ethereal, dreamlike glow.

But still—

"Kill!"

Zhan Tian unleashed a furious roar, plunging into the fray against the Blood Race single-handedly!

"Boom boom boom...."

The very fabric of space seemed to rip apart, dark clouds roiled in the sky, accompanied by a relentless barrage of thunderous impacts.

Wielding a blood-hued spear, Blood Radiance unleashed the full might of his early Ninth Layer cultivation. Yet, even with the spear's aid, he found himself completely outmatched by Zhan Tian's overwhelming power. His chest was brutally rent open, forming two gaping wounds the size of large bowls.

Two titans of combat locked in a fierce duel! None dared to draw near this cataclysmic clash.

On Great Yu's side, even the esteemed National Preceptor had retreated from the Array's core.

"What is happening?" he inquired, turning his gaze to Duke Liu.

"I haven't the slightest idea!"

Duke Liu could only shake his head. Zhan Tian had, without any apparent cause, suddenly charged into battle against the Blood Race.

"Could it be the immense pressure is overwhelming him?"

Duke Yuan interjected, his brow furrowed. "He was already displaying signs of agitation a few days ago, but nothing as utterly unhinged as this!"

"I shall return to the Array's core! The moment that ancient fiend emerges, I will activate the Array's full power!"

"And you two," the National Preceptor commanded before vanishing in a blur, "remain ready at a moment's notice to intervene!"

With his instructions delivered, the National Preceptor was gone. Dukes Yuan and Liu exchanged grave looks, their expressions stern, standing prepared for the decisive battle that would surely ensue should the Blood Race's elder make an appearance.

"Damn you, you mangy cur!"

Zhan Tian delivered a devastating punch.

Witnessing this, Blood Radiance instinctively thrust his spear forward in defense.

"Bang!"

Zhan Tian remained completely unfazed by the parry, while Blood Radiance was sent hurtling backward by the sheer force of the punch, crashing violently onto the ground.

"Puh!"

A mouthful of fresh blood erupted from his lips.

However, he paid no heed to his injuries at that critical juncture. Slowly, he rose to his feet, his eyes fixing on Zhan Tian in the distance with cold fury.

"Spit!"

"What the hell are you staring at, you flea-bitten cur! I’ll make sure to butcher you sooner rather than later!"

Zhan Tian bellowed, his voice laced with venom. Yet, the gnawing unease within his heart had subsided, and he felt a measure of relief.

"Old turtle, show yourself if you dare!"

His gaze shifted towards a point far beyond the Blood Cry Realm, where he sensed a terrifying presence lurking.

"It will emerge!"

A sinister voice echoed, and as the sound permeated the air, the very foundations of the Blood Cry Realm began to tremble violently.

"Hmph!"

Zhan Tian scoffed coldly, then turned on his heel, heading back towards the Human Race encampment.

He had fought valiantly!

A sense of satisfaction filled his heart!

It was time to depart!

Though they were within the Blood Cry Realm, he felt an oppressive suppression; lingering any longer would invite grave danger.

"Huff—"

Dukes Yuan and Liu watched Zhan Tian's swift return towards them, exhaling a collective sigh of relief.

"What in blazes is wrong with you? Charging into the Blood Cry Realm all alone, do you have no regard for your own life?"

"I was feeling incredibly pissed off! Don't bother me unless it's absolutely necessary!"

With that curt reply, Zhan Tian strode past the two Dukes and rejoined his own contingent.

"Let it go, let it go!"

Duke Yuan, sensing Duke Liu's rising temper, quickly intervened to placate him.

"He's grown immensely powerful now; it's only natural that he'd possess a bit of a temper!"

"Hmph!"

Duke Liu cast a cold glare in Zhan Tian's direction. He had merely posed a question, never anticipating such an outburst...

"Hmph!"

....

Within the Celestial Eye Forest.

Chen Xuan's mystical seedling had attained a height of ten inches, while Zhan Tian's had reached seven inches. This growth was attributed to his mystical seedling having absorbed two drops of essence blood.

"There's something delicious over there!"

"Where?" Chen Xuan inquired.

However, the mystical seedling offered no verbal reply. Instead, it autonomously lifted itself from the soil and, in the very next instant, arrived beside Zhan Tian's mystical seedling. It then emitted a vibrant green light, resembling a tendril, and uneremoniously pulled Zhan Tian's seedling free as well.

Observing this extraordinary display, Chen Xuan was utterly dumbfounded.

Could this truly be called a mystical seedling?

It possessed not only sentience but appeared to be a creature imbued with genuine wisdom.

Following this, his own mystical seedling, now accompanied by Zhan Tian's, leaped into Chen Xuan's embrace and issued a directive: "A thousand meters to the west!"

Despite his bewilderment, Chen Xuan immediately propelled himself through the air, heading westward.

Meanwhile, Hong Ling, who had been resolutely searching for the Spiritual Spring, experienced a sudden jolt as the green vine he held in his hand began to move erratically.

"It has appeared!"

Exultation surged through him, and he swiftly moved toward the direction the verdant vine indicated.

A short while later!

A circular pool, spanning over five meters wide, materialized within his sight.

"Excellent, excellent!"

Hong Ling was thrilled, but his elation evaporated in the next instant as he witnessed the scenario he dreaded most.

Qingsui! The very person, unexpectedly positioned directly above the Spiritual Spring.

At this very moment, Chen Xuan also noticed him, casting a glance in his direction with a subtle smile gracing his features.

"You're too late!"

Hong Ling was now standing a mere ten meters from Chen Xuan, his face etched with profound distress.

His greatest fear had manifested, exactly as he had worried.

Yet... his eyes, drawn to the Spiritual Spring, a circular expanse exceeding five meters in diameter, far grander than the description provided by his father, couldn't help but focus.

"Qingsui, let us converse!"

"This Spiritual Spring is considerably larger than before, ample enough for both our mystical seedlings. You cannot possibly absorb it all by yourself."

"I pledge to repay you handsomely afterwards. What do you say?"

Confronting the Spiritual Spring, he was compelled to relinquish his arrogance and resort to pleading.

If this chance was squandered, an opportunity like this would never present itself again in his lifetime.

For his aspirations, for his kin, for his father's legacy, pride was an insignificant concern!

"Hahaha!"

Chen Xuan emitted a soft chuckle, but the humor vanished abruptly as he uttered a single, frigid word: "Scram!"

"You...!"

Hong Ling's countenance shifted drastically; he could not fathom being refused even after humbling himself so completely.

"Qingsui, I acknowledge my past transgressions; I implore you not to harbor resentment. Should you have any requests or conditions, merely voice them, and I shall not object. Just permit my mystical seedling to access the Spiritual Spring!"

Such humiliation!

But he had no alternative!

In a flash, Chen Xuan's aura erupted, revealing the might of only the second level of the Dao Realm.

"Second level!"

Hong Ling exclaimed in utter disbelief; how could he have possibly attained the second level!
