Chapter 221 Fierce Battle with the Blood-Spewing Beast
"Fairy Qingtan, having entered this ruin, we have not found any opportunity, and it is highly dangerous to go forward, retreat, or stay in place.
Previously, Qian Yongduo boasted to us that he had a spatial treasure that resembles a house, called the Covert Beauty Gold House, capable of holding living people. You cannot bring people or spiritual beasts into this site through spatial equipment, but it can be used normally inside the site.
I request that Fairy Qingtan take us into the Covert Beauty Gold House until the true inheritance selection is over," the five people discussed for a while, and then True Person Shuangsu made his request to Yu Qingtan. Previously, Qian Yongduo had planned to do just that when he couldn't take care of them.
Since Fang Ling only took the ancient Taoist Instrument long staff and the treasure-grade inner armor from Qian Yongduo, Qian Yongduo's storage ring, soul-protection treasures, jewelry, and Golden Core all went to Yu Qingtan.
Qian Yongduo died thoroughly, and Yu Qingtan easily wiped off the Soul Marking Seal on the storage ring.
Upon probing with divine sense, the space within held a bounty of items to the brim.
The items inside were better and more numerous than those in the treasure room of the monkey-faced eagles.
Yu Qingtan couldn't help but silently rejoice at this windfall, thinking that it was worthy of a powerhouse family from the Eastern Region.
The soul-protection treasure, the Crystal White Lotus Lamp, a Supreme Treasure, was also unceremoniously taken by Yu Qingtan, as Fang Ling said he already possessed a soul-protection treasure.
The Covert Beauty Gold House that True Person Shuangsu mentioned was Qian Yongduo's necklace, a pendant shaped like a golden house.
She likewise erased any remaining divine sense imprints and affixed her own.
When her divine sense probed inside, she found a house resplendent with gold and jade, two stories high, with a total of ten rooms and various living facilities.
Carrying a villa around, and possibly some beauties inside it from time to time.
The life of a wealthy cultivator is just so simplistic, yet dull.
It is said that there are also special spaces designed to hold a large number of cultivators, some even accommodating as many as a million people.
As for the Taoist Instruments, they have their own Dao Domains. The size of these Dao Domains varies greatly; for instance, the Myriad Beasts Secret Realm's Thousand Beasts Mountain is tremendously large. Generally, these Dao Domains can also contain living people.
Qian Yongduo's ancient Taoist Instrument long staff contained a Dao Domain about the size of ten square feet.
Therefore, ancient Taoist Instruments and ancient treasures are similar in that their power can be activated with spirit stones, though high-grade spirit stones are the least that are required.
After some discussion, Yu Qingtan took True Persons Shuangsu and Xiu Yu into the Covert Beauty Gold House, while Fang Ling took Jia Siwen into the Dao Domain space of the ancient Taoist Instrument long staff.
Among Qian Yongduo's storage ring items was a Retreat Order, but Yu Qingtan had no intention of letting Jia Siwen use it, preferring to save it for Fang Ling just in case.
As for herself, a clone posed no fear. She purified the remaining items in Qian Yongduo's storage ring and then transferred them into the System Space.
Protected by the Blood Domain, Yu Qingtan and Fang Ling made their way into Blood God Mountain.
This time, without entering a Dao Domain space, while ascending the mountain, the two did not encounter any other red-robed Golden Core cultivators; however, upon reaching the mountain, their divine sense was severely restricted, only allowing them to sense within a range of three zhang.
It wasn't until they reached near the summit that they heard intense combat fluctuations from above.
Yu Qingtan and Fang Ling exchanged a glance, and Yu Qingtan began to channel spiritual power into Blood God Peak, while Fang Ling also readied himself for battle.
After preparing, they cautiously continued upwards.
Atop the mountain, six red-robed Golden Core cultivators were engaged in a battle with a strange creature.
The creature's body was composed of many tentacles, roughly cylindrical in shape; the weirdest part was the six large mouths it had, spread out in different directions, each spewing blood-red saliva-like substance intermittently, like arrows assailing the red-robed Golden Core cultivators.
The six red-robed cultivators, almost identical in form, one of them even wielding a blood-colored giant hammer.
Yu Qingtan and Fang Ling immediately realized that these six figures were actually one person, True Person Zhen Dexiu from the Blood Shadow Demon Sect."
True Master Zhen Dexiu's body was divided into six parts, each cloaked in a Blood Armor constructed from the Third Level of the Blood Domain, and in their hands, they wielded top-grade Treasure Grade swords shining with a bloody hue.
However, what was most crucial was that the creature exuded the aura of a Fourth Stage beast.
Though True Master Zhen Dexiu was powerful, she was still being bested by the monster. Apart from the body wielding the Supreme Treasure, a blood-colored giant hammer, the other five were all lightly wounded.
Yu Qingtan and Fang Ling exchanged glances.
"Didn't Rule Ten say we wouldn't encounter Fourth Stage beings? What's the deal with this Fourth Stage monster?"
Yu Qingtan asked through a spiritual message.
"I don't know, but it seems this Fourth Stage monster is also a Blood Demon. Shall we make a move?"
Fang Ling was also puzzled.
At that moment, Zhen Dexiu noticed their arrival; the body holding the giant hammer shouted, "Good brother, and sister over there, this is a Fourth Stage Blood Demon, the Blood-spewing Beast. It can only use one Dao Technique, the Blood-Spew, but I can't beat it! Everything before was a misunderstanding, I implore you both to lend a hand."
Yu Qingtan and Fang Ling glanced at the cave behind the Blood-spewing Beast, realizing that if they did not handle it, the true inheritance trial would probably end here.
"Okay, but you first attack it with your full strength, then we'll join in!"
Yu Qingtan called out, well aware that the fusion of Blood Shadow Demon Sect's avatars would not simply be a sum of their individual strengths.
Zhen Dexiu felt annoyed in her heart but still agreed.
"Agreed!" Then the five bodies merged into shadows and integrated into the one holding the giant hammer, whose aura then soared nearing the Nascent Soul Stage.
The six swords also merged into one, radiating the aura of a Supreme Treasure.
The sword, covered in the pervasive sword aura of the Path of Blood, hovered mid-air, spinning violently, before Zhen Dexiu swung the hammer down hard on the hilt.
The sword, like a cannonball from Yu Qingtan's past life, tore through the air towards the gaping maw of the Blood-spewing Beast.
Seeing Zhen Dexiu make a move, Fang Ling also utilized a secret technique to elevate himself to the Late Stage of the Golden Core and unleashed the strongest blow he could muster — the Weeping Blood Blade Soul Cleaver.
Yu Qingtan then had given him a Fourth-Stage Spirit Spring Green Lotus Seed; with such a potent restorative, the side effects of his power-boosting secret technique were negligible.
At the same time, Yu Qingtan hurled the Blood God Peak, filled with spiritual power, towards the Blood-spewing Beast.
The Blood-spewing Beast, of course, would not simply sit and wait for death. It violently contracted its body and then spewed six streams of blood-colored saliva, thick as water buckets, from its six mouths, two streams targeting each person.
Then its mouths closed and its tentacles coiled, forming itself into a sphere as a defense.
The Blood-spewing Beast's current round of attack was extraordinarily fast, and it circumvented the attacks of the three warriors, striking directly at their true bodies, choosing a targeted offensive and defensive strategy.
Moreover, it carried a hint of the essence of the Blood Dao's origin. Although it was extremely faint, it forced Yu Qingtan and the others to prepare themselves for a serious fight.
Zhen Dexiu spun her blood-colored giant hammer making it impenetrable.
Yu Qingtan summoned a shield of Blood Water around her and, using half of the accumulated energy in the Weeping Blood Blade, unleashed the Canglan Blood Dragon Rupture twice.
Fang Ling's body was clad in blood-colored armor, and he whirled his blood-colored long mace just as impenetrably, while a shield from the Third-Stage spell, Blood Bastion, enveloped both him and Yu Qingtan.
Fang Ling's Weeping Blood Blade Soul Cleaver, being a Soul Attack, was the fastest; it struck after launching later, slicing across the soul of the Blood-spewing Beast.

Although the Blood-spewing Beast had reached the Fourth Stage, it was considered the weakest among its peers, and typically the souls of Blood Demons or Demonic Beasts were their vulnerable points.
"Ha haha~"
The Blood-spewing Beast let out a strange and chilling scream, flailing its tentacles wildly. Its tight spherical form developed gaps, and this hit dealt it a severe wound.
