As the waves gradually calmed and everything returned to tranquility, the small island where Liang Yi and the others had been had long since disappeared, completely shattered to the point that not even debris remained.
Not just that one island, within tens of millions of miles of sea, the waters were calm and smooth, with nothing else but the red sea water. The now quiet and gentle sea water hardly showed any sign of the previously devastating fury that connected heaven and sea, capable of obliterating everything.
Above the high-altitude of ten thousand meters, the Vermilion Bird that had been keeping its wings folded slowly dissipated, revealing the somewhat frightened people inside.
Liang Yi had seen tsunamis in his past life, in movies or games, where he could see super-large tsunamis that he could never witness in real life, but the scene he had just witnessed still exceeded his understanding.
This kind of no-nonsense ability to clear the field was just too much of a bug...
Liang Yi rubbed his temples. This was also why in this game, as you progress toward the later stages, you can no longer rely on the strategy of overwhelming numbers. Quantity simply can't make up for the lack of quality all the time.
With just that one Skill unleashed, Liang Yi had no doubt that even if all the players currently in the game were gathered here, they would all collectively lose a respawn chance.
There was simply no way to defend against it.
"Senior Xu, is this what you've always been suppressing...?"
Liang Yi opened his mouth intending to say the word "monster," but suddenly realized that the "monster" used to be a Supreme Elder of the Blood Control Sect, so he swallowed the words before they left his lips.
"Monster? Don't worry, you're not the only one who thinks so." Xu Yi had arrived by Liang Yi's side just a moment before the tsunami hit, and now, hearing Liang Yi's question, he casually waved his hand.
"Actually, his strength is just so-so. Even if Elder Liu weren't here, I could easily suppress him by myself. But the annoying thing is, with him possessing a Blood Core, his home field advantage is just too great." Xu Yi rubbed his beard, staring at the boundless sea as he murmured to himself.
"Like that move just now, under normal circumstances, although he has the strength to trigger a tsunami, I could suppress it with a counter-move. But here, the tsunami's power is amplified to the extent that even I wouldn't dare to forcefully withstand it."
"Then why do you keep him trapped here? Wouldn't it be better to change the location and directly suppress him with an Array?" Su Youyi felt frustrated, the home field advantage was so strong, why not move quickly?
"They don't want to move him, they can't." Zhou Yuqing, who had been observing since the beginning, suddenly spoke up.
"Indeed, they can't, meow." The orange cat Mr. Orange also nodded in agreement, showing understanding.
"What kind of riddle are you two speaking in? Speak human language." Liang Yi glared, chopping his hand on Mr. Orange's forehead, indicating that speaking in this cryptic manner would get one hit.
"Why don't you hit that girl, do you think your grandpa is easy to bully, meow?" Mr. Orange covered his head, glaring at Liang Yi.
"Alright, alright, just tell me." Liang Yi dismissively rubbed Mr. Orange's head, taking the opportunity to stroke it in a flash.
"That Blood Demon over there has a Blood Core, right? That thing can't leave this space, meow." Mr. Orange casually pointed towards the space they were currently in.
"Yes, indeed, the Blood Core cannot leave here, or rather, the reason we once guarded this place was to prevent anyone from taking the Blood Core out of here." Liu Yishou looked at Mr. Orange on Liang Yi's shoulder with some surprise. This young master of the Demon Clan is not ordinary. But he didn't pay much attention and just admitted it.
"What is going on here? Could it be that this Secret Realm was evolved from that Blood Core?" Liang Yi thought of a possibility; the examples of some precious natural treasures forming their own realms were not uncommon.
To give a closer example, the Creation Green Lotus, which was very closely related to him, also had the ability to evolve its own realm. Although it could not compare to the grand worlds like Mystical Mechanism, it was sufficient to evolve a plane with life.
Under such circumstances, if the foundational treasure is destroyed, then the world that uses it as a carrier will also be destroyed.
"Very close, but there are some differences." Xu Yi didn't expect Liang Yi's intuition to be quite accurate, but then he turned around and asked Liu Rouxin a seemingly nonsensical question.
"What is the most important aspect of improving our Blood Control Sect's cultivation technique?"
"The most important aspect?" Liu Rouxin was somewhat surprised as to why her master suddenly asked this, but she earnestly thought about it.
"It's the Boundless Blood Sea, right..."
"Yes, it's the Boundless Blood Sea beneath our feet." Xu Yi nodded in satisfaction; his disciple wasn't especially rebellious.
"One could say that the premise of our current Blood Control Sect cultivation practice is the existence of the Boundless Blood Sea. If there's a problem with the Blood Sea, the consequences would be unimaginable."
"Ah? Is it that serious?" Liu Rouxin scratched her head. Neither she nor other disciples had ever heard their master or anyone else mention this.
"It's precisely because this is so important that the fewer people who know about it, the better." Liu Yishou chimed in from the side.
"What does this have to do with Elder Jia now?" Liu Rouxin still couldn't figure out the connection.
Xu Yi and Liu Yishou exchanged glances, debating whether to reveal this matter.
"Senior Xu, why don't we step aside for now..." Seeing the somewhat silent Xu Yi and Liu Yishou, Liang Yi wanted to tactfully leave.
He didn't come to hear the secrets of the Blood Control Sect; some things are better left unknown.
Just as Liang Yi was ready to step aside with the others, Xu Yi gestured them to stop.
"There's no need, even if things are placed blatantly out there, there's no one in this world who has the life to take it." Xu Yi declared with pride, radiating an unmatched confidence.
"The Boundless Blood Sea is gradually evolved from the Blood Core, and the Blood Sea within this space is where the true core of the Boundless Blood Sea lies."
"I see..." Liang Yi suddenly realized. No wonder the Blood Core couldn't be taken out; once the core was moved, even if the Boundless Blood Sea didn't collapse instantly, it would be greatly weakened.
"That's why we can't let the Blood Core leave this place."
"Then you guys really are geniuses, meow. Someone like that actually got swallowed by one of your own." Blood Demons were already rare, and it was hard to say whether one would appear in one epoch.
Now someone dared to directly ingest the Blood Core and refine it into their body, such a mad act was unheard of even during the First Epoch when madmen abounded.
Hearing Old Cat's remark, the expressions of Xu Yi and Liu Yishou soured.
They never expected that Jia Xian, who guarded this Secret Realm, would be deluded into using this object to aid his breakthrough into the Seventh Realm.
"He did this and senior still wants to save him?" Su Youyi couldn't understand. If Elder Jia succeeded, then at the very least the Dao Foundations of tens of thousands of disciples of the Blood Control Sect would shatter, and the weaker in cultivation would directly perish.
"We're not saving him, but the Blood Core within him." Xu Yi was very clear on this point and answered indifferently.
