After doing all this, Li Hao looked towards the crowd in front of the cliff.
At that glance, the onlookers in the distance felt their hearts skip a beat.
This youth was too brutal, having killed Qin Tianchen’s younger brother and then slain Qin Tianchen himself, even the older generation of the Qin Family from the Ultimate Study Realm could not manage to put him to death; it was simply terrifying!
Moreover, the more Li Hao fought, the stronger his aura became, which was a method they simply could not comprehend.
The youth’s body seemed like a bottomless pit, growing more vigorous as the battle raged on, like a wild beast, exuding a sense of invincibility.
At that moment, Li Hao retracted his Divine Power state and also stopped transforming, feeling waves of soreness and swelling throughout his body, which gradually dissipated under the self-healing of his flesh.
He carried the broken sword and walked towards the cliff.
With each step the youth took, the hearts of the distant crowd trembled.
Someone finally could not bear it anymore, turned and fled, determined to spread the word of what happened here, that a divine scion of the Great Wilderness Heaven had been born!
“The second blood form that Crimson Blood Vine Demon King condensed over there is a big tonic for you.”
Ji Yun Ge was hiding on Li Hao’s person, and now that the battle was over, she transmitted her voice to guide Li Hao.
However, she did not comment on the battle between Li Hao and Qin Tianchen, as if pondering something else.
Li Hao looked at the cave in the cliff where a Crimson Blood Vine was lying still, motionless.
The others, following Li Hao’s gaze, also turned towards the cave on the cliff. Among them, several men and women of extraordinary bearing had a slight change in expression but hesitated to act.
They could see that the Crimson Blood Vine Demon King had just produced its second blood form and was in a weakened state.
But, with the youth standing in front of the cliff, who dared to make a move?
Even the older generation from the Qin Family’s Ultimate Study Realm had been killed, unless the Qin Family’s core elders intervened, their clans and tribes would all have to stay away.
What made them even more wary was the identity the youth had claimed earlier.
Great Wilderness divine clan!
Unheard of!
If a mere youth fielded from that divine clan was already this fierce, what level of terror would the elders behind him represent?
Seeing that none of the crowd moved, Li Hao immediately proceeded without hesitation, applying his power of object manipulation, extending it into the cave.
In the cave, a three-zhang-long blood-red vine lay beside the thick vine of the Crimson Blood Vine Demon King, motionless.
Sensing Li Hao’s presence, the blood-red vine raised its body and twisted like a venomous snake. A voice entered Li Hao’s ears:
“Young man, please, spare my blood form. You can consume my main body, the power contained within is just as good as my blood form. I just want to leave this place…”

Li Hao raised an eyebrow slightly. Was this plaintive voice that of the Crimson Blood Vine Demon King?
“Why shouldn’t I consume both?” Li Hao retorted.
“If you do that, I may not be able to defeat you, but I can make my main body self-destruct, and before you can get to my blood form, I’ll tear it apart too, leaving you with nothing!” the Crimson Blood Vine Demon King said, clearly choosing out of desperation.
Li Hao’s gaze shifted slightly, which meant getting hold of the blood form would be somewhat tricky.
If it were a dispute between other tribes, the Demon King might not have made such a desperate decision, as there would have been a slim chance to escape amidst the chaos of battle. But in front of him, there was no hope at all.
It might indeed resort to such an extreme decision.
After thinking it over, Li Hao said, “I’ll try your main body first then. Don’t resist.”
“If you swear on your Tao heart to spare my blood form, I will not resist at all…” the Crimson Blood Vine Demon King said cautiously.
“I have yet to condense a Tao heart.”
“…”
It was only then that the Crimson Blood Vine Demon King realized that the aura Li Hao displayed was merely from the Three Immortal Realms.
This youth was actually just at the Three Immortal Realms!
“Then, give your word based on Martial Arts…”
“You’re being a bit chatty now. You’re not in a position to negotiate terms. If you prefer, you can fight me – I’m not tired anyway,” Li Hao replied coldly.
“…”
The Crimson Blood Vine Demon King hesitated. Under normal circumstances, it would not have agreed so easily, but it had witnessed the youth’s battle just now, realizing that even if it fought to the death, there was no chance of victory.
“You’ll keep your word then.”
It could only say aggrievedly.
Li Hao, not willing to talk further, lifted his hand and used his power to drag the main body toward him. He then employed the Soul Sacrifice True Demon Skill and directly refined the main body.
The Crimson Blood Vine Demon King quickly transferred its Divine Soul into its second blood form. Its purpose in condensing this blood form was to hope for liberation from the bonds of the Redwood Corpse Ridge.
Its main body had been nourished by the blood and essence of a Tao Realm seeker’s corpse and was bound by his Tao Realm, unable to leave, only able to sacrifice thousands of years of cultivation and be reborn to break free.
“That Crimson Blood Vine Demon King, he didn’t even resist.”
“He’s devouring its main body as well, how brutal!”
“What Cultivation Technique is that? It feels so-odd. Is he really from a divine clan, or does calling him a Demon suit better?”
The scions from various tribes observing from afar all felt a chill, as the Crimson Blood Vine Demon King showed no intention of resistance against the youth’s ferocity, which was frightening enough.
Before long, the Crimson Blood Vine Demon King’s main body was completely absorbed by Li Hao, with all the essence of the Demon King’s blood being refined by him.
He could not absorb this essence blood like a medicinal pill, but through this Cultivation Technique, he could transform it, the effectiveness was comparable to consuming a pill, and without any side effects.
With the essence blood of the Crimson Blood Vine Demon King condensed, Li Hao felt the weariness of the previous battle vanish, and his body burned like a furnace, with robust life force perpetually igniting within.
