Saint Sovereign of Nine Heavens

The Bloodthirsty Bat King was completely unable to move. Chen Yu no longer hesitated, and slashed out five times with his full strength, slicing the Bloodthirsty Bat King's neck open.    

The Bloodthirsty Bat King's life force was cut short, and it could not die any more.    

As a Stage Seven Vicious Beast, a winged Bloodthirsty Bat King could easily fight against an expert like Lu Yuan with his overwhelming Heavenly Astral Stage. This was enough to cause huge trouble, but he didn't expect that the person who just woke up would die in the hands of Chen Yu, a mere Ninth Layer of Qi Condensation warrior.    

Thinking back on the whole fight, Chen Yu was also deeply moved by his luck. If the teleportation circle didn't activate by chance, and if the teleportation circle didn't cut through the space at the edge of the teleportation circle to tear apart the Blood-Thirsty Demon Bat's wings in an instant, it would not be a good thing this time.    

However, after killing the Bloodthirsty Bat King, Chen Yu did not have any relaxed mood. Who knows how many more dangers were hidden in this unknown secret realm?    

Chen Yu then searched around the body of the Bloodthirsty Bat King. Three minutes later, his bloodied hands were pulled out from the Bloodthirsty Bat King's abdomen, and in his hands was a dark red oval crystal that was the size of a chicken egg.    

Holding the Demon Crystal in his hand, Chen Yu clearly felt the blood circulating in his body throbbing. It was as if Chen Yu was revealing a faint sense of hunger towards this blood thirsty Demon Bat King's Demon Crystal.    

This feeling made Chen Yu shiver in his heart and he couldn't help but mumble to himself.    

"The Blood-Thirsty Demon Bat feeds on fresh blood and is able to absorb a large amount of energy from the blood. In a sense, it is similar to the cultivation method of the Blood Flame Tyrant Spell. This bloodthirsty Demon Bat King's Demon Crystal contains a lot of the blood essence of Demonic Beast or humans, it should be because of this reason that my blood throbs! "    

"Right now, I have only trained the Blood Flame Tyrant Spell to the first stage. This Demon Crystal's demonic energy and various types of energy are temporarily unable to be dispelled, so this Demon Crystal can only be kept for the time being!"    

Suppressing the urge to directly absorb and refine the Demon Crystal, Chen Yu found a bundle scattered on a corner of the stone platform and stored the blood colored Demon Crystal.    

After that, Chen Yu was not in a hurry to start his exploration. He sat down cross-legged and started to cultivate and recover after taking three True Restoration Pills.    

As the Yuan Qi of Heaven and Earth was very abundant, Chen Yu only needed half an hour to recover to a subversive state. The wounds left on his body from the fight with Bloodthirsty Demon Bat King also started to heal.    

After recovering, Chen Yu did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he jumped off the stone platform and observed carefully around the stone platform.    

In the end, Chen Yu helplessly discovered that his understanding of Teleportation Arrays was still too shallow. Bloodfire Emperor didn't spend too much time and effort on studying them, and his understanding of Teleportation Arrays was limited to only seeing them a few times.    

Thus, after observing for a while, Chen Yu was unable to determine if this teleportation formation was a two-way transfer.    

In other words, Chen Yu was not sure if he could use this teleportation circle to leave!    

If he couldn't use this teleportation gate to return to the underground Bat Cave, then Chen Yu could only go to other places in the secret realm to find a way to leave. There was no way out, and if his luck was bad, the possibility of him being trapped to death in this secret realm wasn't small!    

Chen Yu gave up on his futile attempt to comprehend the transfer array and jumped onto the stone platform to unpack his bag.    

There were not many things in the bag, just some True Supreme Pills, a Six Solar Pill, a Demon Crystal, a piece of cold jade, as well as some dry food and water.    

There was not much dry food and water, only enough for half a month!    

In other words, Chen Yu was going to starve to death in half a month.    

Helpless, Chen Yu carried his backpack and jumped off the stone platform with his trenchant blade. Once again, he circled around the edge of the clearing.    

At the edge of the open space, there were a total of eight paths that led to Sen Lin Shen.    

As there weren't any sun, moon, or stars in the sky, there was no way to determine the direction. Since Chen Yu didn't have a corresponding magical tool that could avoid danger, there was no difference between the eight paths and Chen Yu. No one knew whether it was due to a coincidence that the eight paths were set up, or due to the arrangement of the eight paths taking into account the position of the eight trigrams.    

After pondering for a while, Chen Yu returned to the side of the stone platform. He grabbed the corpses of the dead Blood-Thirsty Demon Bat and started to throw them into the small path.    

The first time he used his strength, it was very light. After the Demon Bat's corpse flew past a six meter radius, it immediately triggered a wave of Essence Qi.    

When the Demon Bat's corpse fell to the ground ten meters away, the waves of Essence Qi caught up to the Demon Bat's corpse, causing a large disturbance. The waves of Essence Qi that were surging about scattered like a gale, more and more Cloud Qi gathered, and a few glyph lights lit up on the trees closest to the two sides of the path.    

Fortunately, the spiritual light from the symbols flashed for a moment, but there was no further reaction!    

The corpse of the Blood-Thirsty Demon Bat also fell to the ground.    

Chen Yu was sure that the first six meters of the path was the distance of the restriction that sealed the overflowing Essence Qi at the junction of the forest and the open space. It could still be considered a safe zone.    

The fluctuation of Essence that was triggered by the Blood-Thirsty Demon Bat needed time to calm down. Chen Yu casually made a mark on the ground and walked towards the intersection of the second path.    

Chen Yu threw out another bat corpse and used a bit more force this time.    

Just like the previous time, the Bat Corpse flew six meters away, bringing with it a surge of Essence that followed the Bat Corpse ten meters away. The trees on both sides of the path suddenly lit up with the glow of runes.    

This time, because Chen Yu had used a lot of power, the bat's carcass was still flying ten meters away.    

After flying for another ten metres, more and more runes lit up on the neighboring trees on both sides of the path, and spirit patterns also appeared on the ground of the path. The energy that was surging out suddenly increased dramatically, forming the shape of a giant deer, it suddenly increased its speed and caught up to the Demon Bat that was running out of energy and was about to fall.    

When it bumped into the Blood-Thirsty Demon Bat's corpse, the giant deer made of primordial energy suddenly exploded. As if the corpse of the Blood-Thirsty Demon Bat was pulled by a huge force, it was also blown into a few balls on the ground.    

The Essence Deer exploded, and the Essence Qi that was scattered spread out like ripples towards the two sides of the forest. It took a full half a minute for the Spiritual Lights to gradually dim and the chaotic Essence Qi to begin to show signs of calming down.    

"The Myriad Images Flowing Astral Formation is indeed powerful!" Chen Yu sighed and his expression became stern.    

Then, Chen Yu arrived at the third path's entrance and did the same.    

When the bat corpse flew 35 meters away, the trees on both sides of the path and the path lit up with a blinding light. Then, the spirit energy condensed into a huge bull horse, and with a sudden flash, three consecutive sharp auras appeared, sweeping past the Blood-Thirsty Demon Bat's corpse like a blade or sword, easily ripping the corpse into multiple pieces!    

The power of the Myriad Images Flowing Astral Formation was beginning to show itself!    

Chen Yu wasn't surprised, and he quickly did experiments on the other paths one by one.    

The result was that as the strength of the bat corpse was released, it caused origin energy fluctuations of varying strengths and weaknesses. These origin energy fluctuations each drew different forms of origin energy to attack. There was even a form of astral energy attack!    

The size of a Blood-Thirsty Demon Bat was very small. If it was a person who was walking on the small path before them, the amount of Essence fluctuation it would create would be one hundred times greater!    

Outside the last path, Chen Yu dashed six meters before the Essence power on the path calmed down. As he expected, the Essence power did not fluctuate within six meters.    

Standing at the critical point of six meters, Chen Yu threw a punch into the air of the small path. The zhenqi in his body surged and turned into a long spear that shot far away.    

Rumble    

Following Chen Yu's actions, a drastic change occurred and his Essence started to surge like the tide. Endless clouds started to surge from the forests on both sides of the path, bringing with them the sound of the tide.    

When the Essence Qi brushed against the trees on both sides of the path, there was a rustling sound. The endless Essence Qi seemed to have merged with the runes and started to light up, continuing to converge and transform into a biting cold, endless stream of Spirit Qi that surged towards the entire path, filling the entire path.    

Chen Yu could feel the endless sharp cutting intent. On this path, it was as if invisible sharp swords were everywhere. Anyone who dares to trespass, will be torn to pieces!    

Chen Yu retreated as fast as the wind, retreating six meters back to the open space. Only then did he feel that the biting cold sharpness had weakened a lot.    

After standing quietly for a while, Chen Yu made sure that the fluctuations on the path would not subside for another two to four hours. Then he picked up his bag and knife and walked towards the path on the other side of the last path.    

Looking up, Chen Yu could clearly see that the mist-like elemental energy in this area had thinned out quite a bit. The elemental energy in the Myriad Images Flowing Astral Formation was linked as one, and the waves of the elemental energy in that area were greater, whereas this area was smaller. However, Chen Yu, who possessed Bloodfire Emperor's thirty years of memories, could clearly see this point.    

Chen Yu didn't hesitate any longer. After restraining the Qi in his body to the extreme, he walked towards the small path.    

Chen Yu quickly walked out of the six-meter range of the restriction. When he got there, his heart slightly trembled. Then, he carefully took a step forward.    

With this step, Chen Yu's figure appeared like a breeze. Under the breeze, the Essence within three feet of Chen Yu started to fluctuate and he started to blow towards him.    

After brushing against his body, Chen Yu felt a slight chill.    

However, there was no response from the surrounding environment!    

Chen Yu continued to walk forward without any hurry. Soon, he took three steps.    

After three steps, Chen Yu felt the change in his elemental energy clearly getting worse. The gathered elemental energy condensed into a vague, blurry shape beside him.    

Chen Yu did not dare to take the risk, he gently stopped moving and stood still.    

Soon, the elemental energy that was about to take shape began to disperse, and the waves of elemental energy began to slow down.    

Chen Yu slowly stepped forward again, carefully and gently like walking on a tightrope.    

As they walked, Chen Yu looked at the long path in front of them. He hoped that he wouldn't be able to reach the second safe zone if he didn't go too far, otherwise, he might be torn to pieces by this Myriad Images Flowing Astral Formation!
