C79 Deep into the blood forest

Gao Zhi did indeed leave without a trace of hesitation.

Those who stayed had a complicated expression on their faces.

Gao Tian frowned slightly, his gaze still cold as he looked in the direction where the Xiao Zhi had left, to confirm that this person had truly left. At the same time, he signaled for everyone to disperse, and also reminded a few people to pay attention to their surroundings and began to patrol, not allowing Gao Zhi to wander around.

this was to force Gao Zhi to go far away, and be trapped in a dangerous situation.

Zhu Chaoyun and the rest had different expressions, this method was undoubtedly to form enemies with the Xiao Zhi, if they were to meet again after successfully exiting the blood forest, the scene would definitely be very awkward.

"You should know of my current ability. Following me will definitely allow you all to smoothly exit the blood forest. Otherwise, you should be clear about my methods. "

Gao Tian indifferently swept a glance over Zhu Chaoyun and the rest. Although he looked normal, at this moment, he had an imposing aura that suppressed them.

Zhu Chaoyun sighed from the bottom of his heart, and cupped his hands: "Thank you for taking care of me."

"No matter what, you were the ones who found this place, the way is also what you are thinking. Very good, in the future when you leave the Heaven Gate, you can come and rely on me."

Gao Tian said again. It could be said that he had made a promise. Hearing that, Zhu Chaoyun's eyes lit up, he was a person that the clan sent to the Heaven Gate, in the future he would still have to step into the secular world, in order to obtain his title. Even Gong Xuee and the others had the same thought.

This kind of promise was extremely tempting even to a disciple like Liang Ji, who would be trapped in the Heaven Gate for his entire life. Because of the dynasty, the Heaven Gate had to give them face. When that time came, as long as Gao Tian said it, he would be able to escape the Heaven Gate's shackles in a sense.

This is what people do, no matter what you're thinking.

"I want to know about that boy. Who can explain it to me?"

Gao Tian's gaze swept across the few of them before speaking again.

In another direction, Xiao Zhi was wandering in the dense forest, conveniently killing a Level 3 demon beast that was attacking him. His current strength had increased tremendously, and his fighting strength was astonishing.

In this short period of time, the killing intent in his heart had disappeared quite a bit.

Towards Zhu Chaoyun and the rest, he did not have any other thoughts. Although he was young, he knew one thing, in the martial arts world, he could not control himself.

In their eyes, he was just a country bumpkin from a remote area. If they stayed on the same side, they would be in dire straits. In this way, both his and Gao Tian's choice would naturally be the latter.

"Strength!"

The Xiao Zhi lightly said, strength is the way, strength is everything.

"Boom!"

An indescribable gale blew, causing the entire blood forest to shake, and all the trees to sway violently. An aura that caused everyone's hearts to palpitate enveloped the entire area. It was as if at this moment, even the sky changed color as a dark red color shot up into the sky.

It was as if at this moment, all the trees seemed to have come to life, as wisps of dark red energy gathered towards the heavens and earth.

The great change in blood forest was something that Xiao Zhi understood since the very first day they entered this place.

And this phenomenon was undoubtedly telling the Xiao Zhi that everything was about to happen. And the time was only a few days since everyone had entered.

"Roar!"

A powerful demonic beast soared into the sky and roared loudly. This was a ten feet tall, dark red bear that stood in the air. Its body was like a human, and its aura was strong. It was definitely a rank 6 beast.

"Roar!"

Another roar sounded. Another powerful being soared into the sky bringing streaks of lightning with it, and the distance between it and Xiao Zhi was less than a thousand meters. It was the lightning beast that he had just seen not long ago.

"Aooo!"

A ten feet long giant wolf soared into the sky. Its eyes were blood-red, and a silver light flickered in its black body. This was a Black Silver Wolf, and its strength was also LV 6.

Soon after, there were another ten or so sixth level demonic beasts, each one very powerful. These were all experts that were equivalent to the Dao Breaking Stage of human cultivators, whose true combat strength exceeded even the experts of this realm, and were only weaker than the cultivators of the Solitary Dao Realm Realm.

All of the disciples of the blood forest felt a chill in their hearts. Any one of these strong demon beasts could kill them. At this moment, these strong Spirit Beasts were all facing the center of blood forest, their expressions were grave and filled with fear.

In the center of blood forest, waves after waves of aura that caused one's heart to palpitate continuously spread. Just as Wu Bupang had said, the existence in the center called 'Earth Fiend Blood Demon Tree' was truly undergoing a metamorphosis, causing all the powerful Demon Beasts in the blood forest to feel horror and fear.

"So powerful."

Xiao Zhi sucked in a breath of cold air. What kind of existence was it that could cause so many Level 6 demon beasts to fear? Most likely, even the weakest amongst them was at least at the seventh rank, or maybe even the eighth rank!

A sixth level beast could already slaughter countless domineering state cultivators at will. An existence at the seventh or eighth rank was simply unimaginable.

He was definitely an existence that could rival ordinary Dao Sovereigns. If he succeeded, it would mean that another pinnacle expert had emerged from the Ancient History forest.

Even if the Xiao Zhi produced all four types of Dao-Diagrams at the same time, he had no confidence in escaping from such an existence.

"It is absorbing the power of the entire blood forest."

It had to be known that the formation of the blood forest originated from an ancient bloody battle. In that battle, many Dao Sovereigns perished, and there were even some that surpassed Dao Sovereigns. As for the cultivators of Dao Breaking Stage, there were more than a thousand of them. It has to be said that even the Dao Breaking Stage can hold the post of ordinary elder in the Heaven Gate.

It was because of that battle that this place became a different place from the others. Furthermore, after such a long period of time, the power that had not been lost was gradually becoming one with the trees here.

And now, that 'Earth Fiend Blood Demon Tree' was actually absorbing the power from all the trees. This showed just how powerful it was. If he succeeded, he would definitely become one of the most powerful Dao Sovereigns.

In just the time it took for Xiao Zhi to think, there were already many trees in the vicinity that had become ordinary after being sucked away by the blood, and even some had withered.

boom rumble rumble rumble rumble *

In the dense forest ahead, a group of second and third level demonic beasts were fleeing madly. As they ran, Xiao Zhi could see strands of blood Qi continuously floating from their bodies into the air. As they were running, some normal Monstrous Beasts kept on falling and dying.

Xiao Zhi quickly ran towards a big tree, quietly watching everything, and felt that blood forest was extremely strange.

When he looked up at the sky again, he found that there were no movements from the dozen or so rank 6 beasts, but the light in his eyes became even colder.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, the Skeleton Dao Diagram behind the Xiao Zhi appeared on its own, shocking the Xiao Zhi. In that instant, he felt as if his entire body had left his control, as if his own body did not belong to him, and he was just a bystander.

Just as the Xiao Zhi was panicking, the sapling swayed and after going through the forging process of absorbing Zhao Liangyi's energy, and because the Xiao Zhi had improved so quickly, it became stronger and stronger. At this moment, it emitted a green aura which filled Xiao Zhi's heart, allowing him to regain control of his body.

"Snatch."

Without any reason, this thought surfaced in the Xiao Zhi's heart, as if it was something he had 'wanted' to do. However, he was very clear that this wasn't his own thoughts, but passed on to him by someone else.

And the one who passed this thought to him was either the small sapling or the Skeleton Dao Diagram.

The dao diagram was conscious too?

Xiao Zhi did not know, but the shock and astonishment at the bottom of his heart.

"Snatch!"

This time, that thought was getting stronger. It was filled with coldness, coldness, ruthlessness, brutality, and other emotions. It was as though the sound had come from the universe of decay, the icy cold of space.

This time, Xiao Zhi confirmed that the voice was coming from the 'skeleton'.

Xiao Zhi was panicking, but with the little sapling around, he felt relaxed.

"Then take it."

Xiao Zhi already understood what the Skeleton Dao Diagram was trying to do. It was like before, where it wanted to snatch the blood energy from the blood forest.

With regards to 'snatching', Xiao Zhi did not feel the slightest bit of embarrassment.

What I got is mine, and there's no reason why it should be.

When he spoke, it was without question the next order. In the pitch black space, a cold glint flashed in the eyes of the skeleton. At that moment, a bizarre aura began to radiate from the Xiao Zhi. This aura was extremely dark and cold, even the Xiao Zhi himself felt that his blood and spirit were almost frozen solid like a tablet. If not for the presence of the 'sapling', he would have already said his goodbyes to this world before he could do anything else.

It was as if, this was a wisp of ghost aura, a wave of netherworld aura, and it wasn't something that was born in the human world.

The blood energy floating in the air suddenly stopped because of this Qi, and then rushed into Xiao Zhi's body. In a few moments, Xiao Zhi was completely surrounded by this blood energy, as if he was covered in a blood veil.

Finally, the condensing array activated and sped up the absorption of blood energy.

As soon as he absorbed it, Xiao Zhi felt that this blood energy contained many complex negative emotions. Slaughter, brutality, mania, ruthlessness, despair, etc. These were the emotions the living would have before they died. These negative emotions caused Xiao Zhi's soul to become unstable and almost collapse.

A surge of green energy rushed into his pitch-black sea of consciousness and protected him. That was an aura of life, constantly eliminating these negative emotions. Otherwise, the Xiao Zhi would definitely inflict heavy injuries on his soul, and even become an idiot.

Half a quarter of an hour later, the surrounding blood aura was faint, and the blood energy surrounding his body was completely absorbed by Xiao Zhi. His bare hands and cheeks seemed to be smeared with rouge. Even his eyes were flashing with red light.

But that was not enough, the Skeleton Dao Diagram's power was getting stronger, waves after waves of cold Qi spread out, even the Xiao Zhi started to shiver, and the small sapling also continued to release waves of energy to protect the Xiao Zhi's soul and body.

"Go deep!"

Another thought was transmitted to Xiao Zhi, causing him to open his eyes wide.

Going deep, naturally referred to going deep into the blood forest. And right now, there were dozens of rank 6 Monstrous Beasts looking down on the center zone. In the center zone, there was even a powerful monster with the strength of at least rank 7.

If he entered like this, even the slightest mistake would result in his soul disappearing and death!

But this time, the Skeleton Dao Diagram was extremely domineering and decisive, as they directly and forcefully took control of Xiao Zhi's body.

"Whoosh!"

Following a sky-shattering sound, numerous branches seemed to have appeared from within the body of the Xiao Zhi, as they tightly wrapped around him, forming a cocoon and shooting straight into the depths of the forest.
