Immortal of the Ages

Chapter 476: The Secret of the Blood Devil Ruins!

As time passed, the cultivators from the surrounding worlds took notice, their senses no longer assaulted by the stench of iron and death.

The Blood Devil Ruins had been tumultuous of late, with the blood demons prowling, making it a place even the bravest souls dared not tread.

"Heavens, it's truly gone!"

"The endless tide of devil blood that rampaged for centuries… vanished in mere days."

"Could it be a mercy from the heavens, a respite for the suffering?"

Joy erupted among the tormented cultivators and common folk alike, their faces breaking into smiles wide and genuine, celebrating the end of their century-long nightmare.

The common folk, unaware of the upheaval in the Primordial Ruins, or the impending spread of the Heavenly Decay across the myriad worlds, found solace in the disappearance of the Blood Devil Ruins.

Only the likes of the Sword Warden and other top cultivators understood the grave implications—the Mystic Earth Immortal had perished, the Blood Devil Ruins were in chaos, and the true apocalypse was nigh.

Under such a foreboding shadow, many sought the lost treasures of the True Devils, bravely venturing toward the direction of the now quiet Blood Devil Ruins.

"What was once thick, foul, black blood had boiled like magma, and now, vanished without a trace!"

"It must have evaporated!"

They trod carefully through the mist-enveloped, broken landscape, marveling at the miraculous transformation before them.

At the heart of this charred wilderness, a boiling sea of blood still raged—a place no cultivator dared approach.

BUZZ! Here, the blood roared and the mist rose, with heatwaves engulfing the air.

In that last scorching pool, a figure of unparalleled beauty bathed. Her hair fell to her waist, crowned with blood-red dragon horns. Her body, a perfect blend of elegance and seduction, was adorned with red lips and a cool gaze. Enveloped in a mist of devil blood, she exuded nobility and allure, her skin glistening with sweat, her clothes burnt to ashes by the blood's heat, revealing a physique that epitomized the pinnacle of her race's natural grace.

BUZZ! The last of the blood waves continued to surge into her body, mingling with her bloodline to form the Mortal Dust Devil Blood, coloring her skin a tender shade of red, a sight both heart-stopping and soul-snatching.

At this moment, the War Princess had become the most perfect incarnation of a Yin Devil in the myriad worlds. Her allure made it no surprise that mankind often linked Yin Devils with seduction.

Yin Devils were also known as succubi. And she had become a succubus who had devoured the entirety of the devil blood from the Blood Devil Ruins!

The Mortal Dust Blood Calamity transformed her aura and beauty into the ultimate embodiment of desire within the Mortal Dust.

"So hot…" she murmured as the blood mist rose, slowly opening her eyes.

"It's almost over."

Her eyes, foggy as if she'd just awakened, held a trace of laziness. Stretching her arms in a languid yawn, she curved her alluring form into intoxicating silhouettes.

Indeed, she had been in deep slumber!

Upon waking, she delightfully discovered herself to be at the Establishment Yang Devil Realm!

What did that imply? It meant she had completed the Eight Dao Heart Realms, just one step away from reaching new heights on the Immortal Path, to be revered as a True Immortal among the heavens.

"Lying down and finding myself at the pinnacle of the world, quite delightful," the War Princess couldn't help feeling thrilled.

She knew well that without that certain someone, she wouldn't have seen her eighteenth birthday.

Now, the power and grandeur of the Mortal Dust Devil Blood within her were overwhelming, an invincibility that felt like an unreal dream.

"I am so powerful!" The War Princess looked down, clenched her fist, feeling the overwhelming force of the Mortal Dust Devil Blood coursing through her.

Suddenly, she noticed two glaring lights. With a shriek, she curled up, lamenting, "Where are my clothes?"

"Burnt during cultivation," a calm voice replied from within her heart.

"You! Why didn't you say so earlier? You've been peeping, you pervert, you…" She flushed with embarrassment and anger, covering the light of her lanterns, tears of fury streaming down.

"What's wrong with you? I'm in your heart, I can only see your blood vessels and arteries," Yun Xiao retorted.

"Oh! Oh…" The War Princess paused, then sighed in relief. She pouted and proceeded to dress herself neatly in her skirts and armored leather.

"However, if I wanted to look, would I need your permission?" Yun Xiao suddenly remarked.

The War Princess bit her lip and cursed, "I can't be bothered with you. You're the epitome of evil, appearing gentle but rotten to the core."

"If I were truly wicked, you wouldn't dare act so coquettishly with me," Yun Xiao said with a soft chuckle.

"Who's acting coquettishly? Not me." The War Princess spent a moment dressing, adorning herself with shining silver earrings and donning black and red chainmail that showcased her curvaceous legs and cinched her waist, presenting an undeniable allure and temptation.

The breastplate, conspicuously bulging and leaving much of the area below exposed, made one doubt its utility. Unlike other armor that offered comprehensive protection, hers covered only the upper half, leaving the lower exposed to the wind.

"Everything about you is soft, except your stubbornness," Yun Xiao remarked.

"Ptuh."

Knowing his words rang true, the War Princess had no choice but to keep up her facade.

"Are you well-rested?" Yun Xiao suddenly asked, his tone turning serious.

"...Yes, what is it?"

Sensitive to his change in tone, the War Princess knew not to take lightly matters he deemed serious.

"Follow the direction I point." Yun Xiao concentrated a wisp of devil blood, forming an arrow on her palm.

"Aren't you going to absorb the remaining devil blood?" she asked.

In the depths of the Blood Devil Ruins lay the last pool of devil blood.

"No need, you've reached your limit. Without growth in your Dao Heart, not even a second Blood Devil Ruins could make you a True Immortal," Yun Xiao paused, then continued, "Besides, something lies beneath these ruins. The remaining devil blood can serve as a cover."

"Something?" her eyes sparkled with intrigue.

"Yes. When the Human Zenith Immortal shattered the earth with his Sword Soul, causing a volcanic eruption, I sensed some peculiar power," Yun Xiao explained earnestly.

"Could it be related to my ancestors?" she asked, biting her lip.

"Yes," Yun Xiao confirmed.

With a resolute gaze, the War Princess said no more, instead following Yun Xiao's direction downward.

Soon, beneath her iron boots, rolling lava emerged, mixing with the blood water to form a scarlet wave.

The earth here was thick!

The presence of lava indicated a breach in the earth's crust.

"Go in," Yun Xiao instructed.

"I won't be incinerated, will I?" the War Princess worried.

"Your cultivation is now comparable to the Martial Emperor. Don't act like a coward. Think bigger," Yun Xiao sternly advised.

"Got it! Annoying."

Indeed, the War Princess was somewhat disoriented by her rapidly advancing cultivation. Protected by the Mortal Dust Devil Blood, she plunged into the boiling magma and found herself unscathed.
