"The Blood Transformation Technique really is difficult to deal with. Aside from the technique itself, are there any particular secret techniques that we need to be especially wary of?" Yuan Ming asked after a brief silence.

"Our sect's secret techniques that complement the Cultivation Technique are naturally not few, but most of them are not applicable at the moment. There are only two secret techniques worth noting. One is the Blood Concealing Technique, which can temporarily suppress one's cultivation, hiding their Qi-Blood to avoid the need to kill people. because their high cultivation would make the interval time between killings too short," Blood Shadow explained.

"I see, so the Blood Realm Venerable's true cultivation might be even higher than the mid-stage of Nascent Soul," Yuan Ming commented.

"Based on my estimation, his true cultivation should also be at the peak of the Middle-stage Nascent Soul. However, the Blood Transformation Technique is not good at Flying Escape. Unless there's an unexpected development, even if he dispels the Blood Concealing Technique, his speed should still be a bit slower than your spirit beast," Blood Shadow speculated.

Just as Yuan Ming's concerns were alleviated, he heard Blood Shadow suddenly say, "However, within the Blood Transformation Technique is a secret technique called the Blood Shadow Escaping Technique, which can burn Qi-Blood to boost the tunneling speed. If he uses it, his tunneling speed might just..."

Before Blood Shadow could finish, Yuan Ming saw the Blood Realm Venerable behind him weaving spells with both hands, as blood threads resembling flesh sprouts burst forth from his hands and swiftly enveloped his entire body.

Immediately after, the Blood Realm Venerable completely merged with the blood-colored tunneling light, and his tunneling speed surged, drastically closing the distance between him and Yuan Ming.

In just a few breaths' time, the distance between them was only a hundred yards or so.

Yuan Ming's eyebrows furrowed, but he didn't panic. He channeled mana into Lei Yu, striving to boost Lei Yu's tunneling speed, while he said, "Give me the mnemonic for the Blood Shadow Escaping Technique!"

Without hesitation, Blood Shadow transmitted the Escape Technique into Yuan Ming's Sea of Consciousness.

Yuan Ming quickly reviewed it once, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he raised his hand and waved.

A purple figure appeared on Lei Yu's back; it was Lei He.

His body had become skeletal, only his head remained unchanged, having been transformed into a Blood Slave just like Hong Ling.

However, Lei He's gaze was blank, showing very little spiritual intelligence.

After Lei He had been refined by the Shura Blood Devouring Map, he should have regained his spiritual intelligence like Hong Ling and Blood Shadow. However, since Yuan Ming was still at Core Formation, and Lei He had a grudge against him, in order to avoid trouble, he deliberately erased his consciousness.

Yuan Ming casually took out the Thunder God Hammer and the God Bombarding Cone, handing them to Lei He.

The treasures that Lei He coveted in life were finally being used by him after his death; if he still had his consciousness, one would not know whether he would be happy or sad.

At that moment, Yuan Ming wasn't concerned about this somewhat comical scene. With a thought, Lei He immediately infused mana into the two Magic Treasures, then he hoisted the Thunder God Hammer and smashed it toward the God Bombarding Cone with all his might.

In an instant, seven or eight flood dragon-like bolts of thunder crisscrossed and shot out, striking the Blood Realm Venerable directly with the force of a thunderclap.

The Blood Realm Venerable clearly hadn't expected Yuan Ming to pull off such a move, and was caught off guard, instantly hit by the thunder.

Accompanied by a burst of blue smoke and the smell of scorching, the blood light covering his body was easily torn apart, his body mostly destroyed, and from the charred gap, it was visible that he had no internal organs inside, only waves of blood Qi churning.

As the power of thunder and lightning pulsed within his body, the bloody flesh buds that covered the exterior of the Blood Realm Venerable rapidly retreated, burrowing back into his body and not emerging again.

Lei He, who was unable to utilize the Blood Shadow Escaping Technique, was immediately left far behind by Lei Yu.

"Fellow Daoist Yuan, you have keen eyes. How did you discern that the bane of the Blood Shadow Escape is thunder and lightning?" Blood Shadow asked.

"I have been comprehending the Demon Image Prison Suppression Skill for several years now, and my understanding of Blood Dao Techniques is quite profound. The Blood Shadow Escaping Technique is based on Qi-Blood and, according to the mnemonic, must ensure that the circulation of blood in the body is unobstructed. If an external force causes injury and interference, then the residual power within the body must be cleared before it can be used again! Blood Dao power leans towards yin, so using the force of thunder and lightning to disrupt it is best," Yuan Ming said, hastening Lei Yu's flight even further and soon leaving the Blood Realm Venerable far behind.

The expression of the Blood Realm Venerable finally turned dark as he watched the receding figures of Yuan Ming and Lei Yu, a flash of ferocity passing through his eyes, yet he could only temporarily stop the pursuit and silently clear the remaining thunder power within his body.

Before long, Yuan Ming had lost all sight of the Blood Realm Venerable. But he didn't let his guard down and continued to have Lei Yu flee at full strength towards the white giant peak, in order to completely avoid the Blood Realm Venerable's pursuit.

With Lei Yu's tunneling speed, they soon arrived near the giant peak.

However, just then, the ground in front of Lei Yu suddenly split open, and dozens of Green-Black Tree People emerged. They were startled upon seeing Lei Yu flying towards them, but then they roared and attacked in unison, their arms transforming into countless vines rushing towards Lei Yu.

Yuan Ming didn't want to entangle with them and immediately slapped Lei Yu, instructing it to change directions and flee to the right.

Nevertheless, those Tree People pursued relentlessly, and from time to time, vines and tree spears were shot at Lei Yu—some were dodged, others were scattered by Lei He manipulating the Thunder God Hammer and God Bombarding Cone.

But as a result, Lei Yu's speed was inevitably affected. To make matters worse, Yuan Ming noticed a Blood Shadow frequently flickering behind him. It turned out to be the Blood Realm Venerable, following him like an unshakable shadow.

FacEd with this situation, Yuan Ming's thoughts raced, and eventually, with gritted teeth, he recalled both Lei He and Lei Yu, plummeting towards the earth and, the moment he touched the ground, he vanished into it like diving into water, tunneling towards the interior of the white giant peak.

Tunneling underground was also a risky move. His speed was definitely not as fast as when riding Lei Yu, but the Blood Realm Venerable was not proficient in Escape Skills, and the Blood Shadow Escaping Technique couldn't tunnel through the earth. Heading to the interior of the white giant peak was a good choice.

Just as he thought this, Yuan Ming suddenly discovered that the ground beneath Lank Island was filled with thick Green-Black tree roots.

These roots spread to extreme distances, and his Divine Sense couldn't probe their ends. They were intertwined with each other, seemingly covering every corner under Lank Island.

Yuan Ming's heart startled, and before he could react, one of the roots snatched at him like lightning.

He quickly dodged to the side, narrowly avoiding the root's grasp, but more roots surged towards him, giving him no room to evade.

In that critical moment, Yuan Ming suddenly felt someone pulling him back, and then he disappeared instantaneously, leaving no trace behind.

The roots passed through where Yuan Ming had just been, and finding no one there, returned to their original place as if they had never moved.

Not far from where the roots had just passed through, Yuan Ming held his breath and concentrated. Seeing that the roots didn't continue to search for him, he finally let out a sigh of relief and turned to look at the one who had lent him a hand—the lifesaver, Wulu.
