The crimson giant hand, as massive as a small mountain, descended upon Chi Pei.
Chi Pei recalled the Blood Long Spear, which had been sent flying.
The spear shattered, transforming into a vast Blood Sea spanning tens of miles, completely engulfing his figure.
The blood hand slammed into the Blood Sea, unleashing towering crimson waves, yet failed to breach its defenses.
"Ye Hua, your Blood Sea Seal may have absorbed endless blood essence, but its refinement is too crude, a mere facade. It cannot break my Blood Sea Seal. Retreat now to avoid attracting sixth-tier demon beasts with the Demon Fragrance. By then, even escape will be impossible!" Chi Pei's voice echoed from within the Blood Sea.
Only his voice was heard; his form remained hidden.
"Is that so?" A cold glint flashed in Song Wen's eyes. "Then I'll put it to the test."
The Blood Sea beneath Song Wen's feet continuously channeled blood into the crimson giant hand.
The hand rapidly expanded, swelling to dozens of miles in size within moments.
The colossal hand descended, seizing Chi Pei's Blood Sea in its grasp.
Song Wen's figure shifted, soaring into the distance.
The Blood Sea beneath him and the giant hand extending from it moved in tandem.
Naturally, the Blood Sea sheltering Chi Pei was carried along by the hand's grip.
Song Wen pressed onward, covering hundreds of thousands of miles at breakneck speed.
Only when he estimated they were far beyond the Demon Fragrance's range did he finally halt.
The Blood Sea gradually flowed, forming a hollow sphere five hundred miles in diameter. It completely enveloped Chi Pei's Blood Sea, preventing his escape.
Song Wen himself materialized within the crimson sphere.
"Chi Pei, let's see how long you can hide."
Song Wen activated his thunder magic, and dark clouds immediately gathered overhead.
Great Azure Divine Thunder erupted from the clouds, crashing into the Blood Sea below.
The Blood Sea churned violently, releasing vast quantities of blood mist that filled the entire sphere.
As the blood mist thickened, the Blood Sea began to shrink.
Song Wen unleashed five consecutive Great Azure Divine Thunder strikes in a single breath. The blood mist within the sphere grew so dense it nearly condensed into droplets, while the Blood Sea sheltering Chi Pei had dwindled to a mere four or five miles in size.
Chi Pei felt utterly defeated.
He had initially planned to use the sixth-tier Demon Fragrance to scare Song Wen away.
But Song Wen had effortlessly foiled his plan by relocating the entire Blood Sea hundreds of thousands of miles away.
Moreover, the relentless divine thunder strikes were not only depleting the Blood Qi stored in his Blood Sea Seal but also draining his spiritual power.
Now, his spiritual power was on the verge of exhaustion.
One more divine thunder strike would completely deplete his reserves, ensuring his defeat.
"Stop!" Chi Pei roared, his figure finally emerging from the Blood Sea.
He looked up at Song Wen and pleaded, "Ye Hua, if you spare my life, I'll agree to anything you ask."
Song Wen shook his head. "Keeping you alive would be too dangerous. I can't afford to provoke the Divine Blood Gate."
The sun-chasing spear shot forth, aiming straight for Chi Pei.
Chi Pei seemed powerless to resist, watching helplessly as the spear pierced his body.
His form suddenly exploded into countless droplets of blood, which plunged into the Blood Sea.
It was merely a blood shadow clone.
Above the Blood Sea, Chi Pei's figure coalesced once more.
"It seems my earlier guess was wrong. Ye Hua, you're not affiliated with the Divine Blood Gate. Your desire to take my life stems solely from your ambition to seize the Divine Blood Gate's cultivation methods and secret arts. I'm willing to offer them to you with both hands."
"Killing you will secure them for me anyway," Song Wen retorted.
As his words faded, another bolt of violet-gold lightning descended from the clouds above.
The lightning struck like a sharp sword, piercing through the Blood Sea.
The Blood Sea shattered instantly, transforming into countless blood beads that scattered in all directions.
Chi Pei's figure was revealed.
He looked utterly disheveled, his body charred black by the divine thunder.
"Ye Hua, are you truly determined to leave me no way out?" Chi Pei snarled through gritted teeth, his voice tinged with madness.
A hint of relief flickered across Song Wen's face.
The Great Azure Divine Thunder possessed formidable power and proved somewhat effective against the Blood Sea Seal. However, it consumed vast amounts of spiritual power. After unleashing eight consecutive bolts, Song Wen felt his reserves nearing exhaustion.
Fortunately, Song Wen finally shattered Chi Pei's Blood Sea Seal.
Without exchanging further words, Song Wen focused his mind, and several tentacles extended from the blood orb, coiling toward Chi Pei.
As the tentacles surged from all directions, Chi Pei's eyes gradually turned manic.
"Blood Sacrifice Art!"
Chi Pei roared, his Blood Qi erupting violently. Crimson blood mist billowed around him, transforming his entire being into a burning blood flame.
His physical body withered visibly, shrinking at an alarming rate. Yet his depleted spiritual power rapidly replenished.
Song Wen frowned slightly, surprised that Chi Pei still had a trump card.
Blood sacrifice spells were familiar to Song Wen; he had practiced them during his early days in the Corpse Demon Sect.
These spells primarily consumed one's blood essence to temporarily boost cultivation, a desperate gamble.
However, the blood sacrifice art he had learned was rudimentary, offering only a limited increase in cultivation. After achieving core formation, he had never used it again.
Chi Pei's Blood Sacrifice Art, by contrast, was clearly far more profound and intricate.
Under the spell's influence, Chi Pei's aura surged relentlessly.
He had nearly burned through all his blood essence, instantly replenishing his depleted spiritual power to nearly its peak strength.
Chi Pei's eyes glowed crimson as blood, his gaze toward Song Wen burning with boundless hatred.
Having exhausted his blood essence, Chi Pei's physical body was now ruined.
All of this was Ye Hua's fault.
"Ye Hua, you forced my hand! Die for this young master!" Chi Pei's voice was hoarse and low, brimming with madness and murderous intent.
The scattered blood droplets and mist rapidly converged around him, coalescing into a colossal sword thousands of feet long.
"Ye Hua, meet your end!"
Chi Pei's voice echoed from within the blood sword.
The blood sword tore through the air, hurtling directly toward Song Wen.
The surging tentacles lashed against the sword, shattering into fragments, utterly failing to impede its advance.
Song Wen moved swiftly, retreating rapidly.
Simultaneously, a crimson torrent erupted beneath his feet, surging toward the colossal sword.
Just as the sword and torrent were about to collide, the sword suddenly veered upward, soaring toward the dome of the blood sphere.
Boom!
The colossal sword pierced through the thick Blood wall, hurtling into the sky beyond the sphere.
Song Wen immediately manipulated the blood sphere, transforming it into a vast Blood Sea that surged toward the retreating sword.
At that moment, the sword spontaneously dissolved, revealing Chi Pei's figure at its tip.
Yet instead of fleeing, Chi Pei plummeted downward with the dissipating Blood Sea.
A three-inch-tall nascent soul erupted from Chi Pei's body, streaking away into the distance.
