Liang Yi had noticed that the senior of the Blood Book offered them the Blood Spirit, but did not give one to Uncle Jute, senior Zhou Yuqing, or Liu Rouxin.

Senior Qingqiu Mingli has already become a soul body, so it's normal for the Blood Spirit to possibly not work on her, but the senior of the Blood Book shouldn't be someone petty.

However, this item should be the reward from the previous life for finding the other Blood Demon. Although Liang Yi has not triggered the mission now, the mission reward is still rightfully claimed.

For players, the Blood Spirit may be a universal item applicable to all levels, a tool that grants a one-time death exemption. Because it involves resurrection, its effect might not be that miraculous.

But for natives with only one life, the significance of a one-time death exemption goes without saying.

"This is to thank you for bringing my kin here; it is very important to me, and gratitude is due," the Blood Book's tentacles gestured towards Liu Rouxin from afar.

"As for the other two, that beast's life form is far too special; my Blood Spirit is of no use to it. And the other fellow cultivator possesses the Vermilion Bird's Power of Rebirth through fire; death to her is nothing to fear."

At this moment, the Blood Demon also looked at Uncle Jute with some confusion. As a Blood Demon, he should be the existence with the deepest understanding of the essence of life in this Realm. Nevertheless, he has never been able to see through that beast, able to just faintly feel the dignity emanating from deep within its soul.

But now, he is indeed very grateful to Liang Yi for bringing his kin here; by his estimation, this Realm should have already birthed a Blood Demon. He was originally pondering about how to attract his kin, but he never expected fate to work in such a coincidental manner.

Liang Yi glanced at Uncle Jute, who didn't seem to care in the slightest.

He thought perhaps Uncle Jute, being a cat, had nine lives and didn't need this Blood Spirit. But it turned out to be because his life was too special, probably because of the influence of the Heavenly Dao Spirit.

"Looking for me?"

Liu Rouxin blinked her sapphire eyes. Although she was puzzled as to why this senior of the Blood Book specifically left her out, she didn't expect that the senior had matters to seek her for.

"Having slept for so long, I have researched some things and come to a certain conclusion. I've delved too deep into this path and can no longer turn back, but you are different."

The Blood Book, which originally had a round and cute face, now bore a very serious expression. When mentioning this matter, there was not a trace of its laid-back attitude, appearing exceedingly earnest and solemn.

"The moment I saw you, I was immensely surprised because you have not used the Blood Demon's talent at all!"

The Blood Book's words piqued everyone's curiosity. Uncle Jute seemed to realize something, looking in amazement towards the phantom in mid-air, wondering if what the Blood Demon intended to do matched what he had in mind.

And then Qingqiu Mingli realized that this seemingly little girl in the crowd was actually a Blood Demon as well!

"May I know what instructions the senior has for me?"

Liu Rouxin didn't know what secretive things this Blood Book senior was doing, but both she and Xue Youyou felt no malice from the Blood Demon.

The Blood Demon didn't respond but instead pondered for a moment. Typically squinted like he was about to fall asleep, his eyes now widened slightly, as if he could see through Liu Rouxin to the Xue Youyou within her.

The Blood Book looked up slightly, and suddenly a cry rang out.

Boom—

The sudden earthquake caught everyone off guard, and the large orange cat on Liang Yi's shoulder nearly tumbled down.

The Blood Demon, which had remained motionless since the beginning, now began to tremble violently. A blood sun, like a morning sun, rose slowly from within, radiating Infinite Light.

A scent filled the air and invigorated everyone who smelled it. Even the injuries on Liang Yi and Su Youyi's bodies, caused by the Abyss's breath, began to heal slightly.

Liang Yi and Su Youyi carefully discerned the power, admiring in their hearts. What kind of formidable power must it be to convert life force into something so pure?

Such an ability was no longer about Realm; talent was now the foremost, a unique skill possessed only by a Blood Demon in this world!

Others, like Zhou Zuixi, felt it deeply—the scent came with a concentration of life force, pure to an extreme.

Different from the vitality left in their bodies by Liang Yi and Zhou Yuqing, which was versatile and could foster recovery from injuries, energize a person, or stimulate a cultivator's life force,

the life force within this scent was purified to a degree Zhou Zuixi had never seen before—neutral, balanced, utterly devoid of any foreign energies, ready to be directly assimilated into one's own life force.

For any Body Cultivator, this was akin to a sacred item.

Sensing the conception of power within the blood sun, Qingqiu Mingli and Zhou Yuqing guessed immediately what it was.

Yu Wei's eyes widened, his pupils reflecting the slowly descending, shimmering object.

Feeling the pure life force emanating from it, Yu Wei finally understood why this thing could save his father. To use it just for saving his father might even be an underutilization; could such an item reverse the fate of a cultivator?

The blood sun gradually descended, shrinking in size, until it fell into the hands of Blood Book, having transformed into a round and luminous gemstone of red jade color, crystal clear when viewed through its surface.

The gemstone, the size of a goose egg, smooth all over, as if it had been cherished and handled for a long time, its surface subtly radiant. With their keen eyesight, everyone could see a semi-solid, semi-viscous liquid moving inside the gemstone.

A terrifying, breath-taking life force was contained within; even Liang Yi found it hard to estimate how one should kill a Blood Demon with such a life force.

Yet this object, which seemed so fragile that it might crumble with just a little force, gave Liang Yi and others an indescribable sense of solidity. This contradiction between visual fragility and tactile firmness was vividly presented before everyone.

"Is that... the Blood Core!?"

Zhou Yuqing raised her eyebrows, her tone somewhat surprised.

Everyone was startled, but their guesses were confirmed. Only the Blood Core of an Eighth Realm Blood Demon could possess such an unbelievable life force.

But a Blood Demon's Blood Core, almost the lifeline of its existence, is rarely revealed; to display it so openly was surprisingly flattering for the onlookers.

However, Blood Book's next action widened everyone's eyes in disbelief, shock mirrored in their gazes.

In front of everyone, Blood Book's tentacle swept over the Blood Core—excising the precious object, as noble as glazed ruby and of utmost importance to the Blood Demon—splitting it in two!
