Beneath Su Yie was a lake, no more than a hundred ters in diater. Nurous bones were piled around the lake, forming a circle, and it was exceedingly grim. In the center of the lake stood a white lotus.
In the midst of the lotus stood a mummified corpse, with a pale face, shriveled skin, and only the whites showing in their eyes. Even their hair had turned white and brittle, like weeds. The neck was canted back in a display of agony.
Judging by her face, she must have been a girl in the bloom of youth before she died.

Su Yie stared intently at the lotus, feeling the intense spiritual energy it radiated.
He even had a premonition that by absorbing this white lotus, he might break through to the Demon Body Dao Fruit Realm!
However, the bones piled by the lake were sufficient to prove the peril of this place.
"Soul-devouring Blood Lotus, when it turns into a blood lotus, that will be its most aggressive state. At this mont, it is in a white lotus form, having just been satiated,"
Feng Long explained to Su Yie, his voice full of greed, and continued, "By absorbing the Soul-devouring Blood Lotus, your cultivation will increase, and the souls it contains will make stronger too."
Hearing this, Su Yie frowned.
Feng Long also absorbed souls?
Even calling itself an Immortal Sword?
Su Yie had an innate repulsion towards corpse refining and soul tempering, those evil techniques that were far too sinister.
"What do you know? Being absorbed by is an honor for them, better than being trapped in the endless cycle of reincarnation. Moreover, I won't let them suffer, but inside the body of the Soul-devouring Blood Lotus, their souls will endure endless tornt and pain,"
Feng Long snorted disdainfully toward Su Yie's concerns, showing contempt.
In the path to becoming king or emperor, who doesn't step over layers of bones?
After all, death is death. Isn't it still slaughter if the manner of death differs?
Su Yie took a deep breath, deciding not to dwell on it, and released two Golden Crows from his eyes, swiftly descending into the lake.
Whoo—
The two Golden Crows suddenly transford into True Sunfla, covering the entire surface of the lake, scorching the water, and even causing the Soul-devouring Blood Lotus to twist violently.
The mummified girl suddenly turned her head to look towards Su Yie, her face distorted, her pale eyes filled with malice and resentnt.
Su Yie remained unmoved. It seed the Soul-devouring Blood Lotus had developed spiritual wisdom. But what of it?
It consud humans and demons, and now that Su Yie had targeted it, even if it were absorbed, it was rely karmic retribution, unworthy of pity.
Soon, the lake water was dried up by the True Sunfla, with mist filling the air while nurous bones appeared, from humans, demons, and even large fierce beasts; they were piled together densely, a horrifying sight to behold.
Su Yie threw out the Silver Marrow Sword.
Immortal-Slaying Heart Sword!
Whoosh!
A single strike severed the root of the Soul-devouring Blood Lotus.
The Soul-devouring Blood Lotus had no ans of attack, rely absorbing the souls of any prey that touched it. Su Yie's remote attack rendered it helpless.
Having lost its support, the Soul-devouring Blood Lotus fell onto Bone Mountain, the mummified girl still looking at Su Yie, her face twisted.
"Is that it?"
Su Yie slightly furrowed his brow, feeling that sothing was amiss.
Just then, a man suddenly erged from the muddy soil around the lake, garbed in clothes made from animal skins, disheveled, charging towards the Soul-devouring Blood Lotus like a wild beast.
"The Soul-devouring Blood Lotus is mine now!"
The man in animal skins was imnsely excited, having lain in wait for a long ti, finally seizing the opportunity.
Su Yie did not stop him, watching as he seized the Soul-devouring Blood Lotus.
As the man prepared to flee underground, the mummified girl suddenly grabbed him and began gnawing at his face.
Blood spattered, a display of extre cruelty!
"Ahh—"
The man in animal skins cried out miserably as he attempted to shake off the mummified girl, but it was all in vain.
Su Yie watched coldly from the sidelines, anyone daring to steal his things had to face the consequences.
"Save ..."
The man clad in animal skin begged Su Yie for help, but Su Yie remained indifferent.
"It seems that the mummified corpse is the main soul of the Soul-devouring Blood Lotus. Later, when I plunge the Zhou Wu Sword into it and finish absorbing the souls, the Soul-devouring Blood Lotus below will be yours to refine."
Feng Long said in Su Yie's mind, utterly thrilled. As a Sword Soul, the stronger the souls, the greater the power the Zhou Wu Sword would unleash.
Soon, the man in animal skin was bitten to death, his Primordial Spirit also absorbed, a sight of sheer misery.
Su Yie detached from the Zhou Wu Sword, which then suddenly pierced through the chest of the girl's mummy. Following this, the Zhou Wu Sword began to tremble, and the mummified girl emitted a piercing scream, so loud that even Su Yie experienced ringing in his ears.
Feng Long began to absorb the countless souls housed within it.
Su Yie quietly waited, sensing many powerful presences rushing towards him.
In just a mont.
Shoo! Shoo! Shoo! Shoo...
Over a dozen figures sped towards him, led by a valiant man clad in golden armor who shouted, "Ji Leiyu of the Ji Family of Great Xia is here, the Soul-devouring Blood Lotus is mine!"
The Ji Family of Great Xia!
The ancestors of the Ji Family had once been part of the Royal Family of Great Zhou, but after a struggle for succession, they were defeated by the forr Crown Prince in a counterattack and had to flee with their family to Great Xia, where they beca a renowned warrior family.
For Great Zhou, the Ji Family of Great Xia represented a disgrace, and encounters between the two sides were relentlessly vicious.
Ji Leiyu could be considered the cream of the crop among the younger generation of the Ji Family of Great Xia, with his Cultivation reaching the Perfected Realm of the Innate Dao Fruit. His imposing aura was incredibly strong.
He ignored Su Yie completely and rushed towards the Soul-devouring Blood Lotus.
Su Yie threw his sword in retaliation. The Sword of Defeated Grudges flew past Ji Leiyu, causing his pupils to constrict in shock. In an instant, he felt a powerful murderous aura.
He glanced at Su Yie involuntarily and asked in a deep voice, "Who are you to dare oppose the Ji Family of Great Xia?"
"Get lost."
Su Yie said coldly, fearless even though his cultivation was only at the Perfection of the Astral Projection Realm.
At this point, he was more than capable of sweeping through the Realm of Taoist Fruition.
Faced with such a domineering Su Yie, Ji Leiyu imdiately grew furious and waved his hand, "Kill him!"
The cultivators behind him, all being vassals of Great Xia, naturally wanted to curry favor with Ji Leiyu. At his command, they charged towards Su Yie.
As they were about to reach him, Su Yie widened his eyes, and two Golden Crows flew out towards them.
The terrifying wave of fire rushed forward, scaring them into hastily dodging, but two of them were still struck by the Golden Crows. True Sunfla blazed fiercely, instantly reducing them to ashes.
"What kind of fla is that?"
"How is that possible?"
"He's only at the Perfection of the Astral Projection Realm, how could he kill two of the Innate Dao Fruit Realm in an instant?"
"Everyone, be careful! This demon is not simple!"
The cultivators warned each other, their gazes filled with caution as they looked at Su Yie.
They had entered the Realm of the National Treasures on the first day it opened and were unaware that the Demon Emperor of the Ten Thousand Demons Court was also participating in the Realm of the National Treasures.
Ji Leiyu, however, was different. Being in a high position, the information he possessed was not sothing other kings could compare with.
Could he be...
Ji Leiyu's forehead broke out in cold sweat, and he quickly shouted, "Stop!"
The cultivators about to cast spells instantly halted and turned to look at him.
"Are you the Demon Emperor of the Ten Thousand Demons Court?"
Ji Leiyu asked in a grave voice; even if it were the Ten Thousand Demons Court Demon Emperor, he wouldn't seek an alliance, but the Demon Emperor was overwhelmingly strong, too much for them to handle.
As the Sword of Defeated Grudges and the Silver Marrow Sword returned to Su Yie's hands, he lifted the Sword of Defeated Grudges, pointing it at Ji Leiyu, "Leave or die."
