Chapter 1115: The First Duel! (1/2)

At the Blood Purgatory Sea in the Second Demon Realm.

Han Yu went through a teleportation portal and came to a place at the edge of the bloody sea.

Scarlet seawater was boiling, with bubbles rising from the bottom.

For countless years, many Demons who had committed crimes or failed in battles had been tossed into it.

Even human slaves, Ancientbeasts that had been slain by the Demons, or members of other outsider races had been thrown into it.

Once a body fell into the Blood Purgatory Sea, it would rapidly melt and become a part of the bloody sea, without even leaving a bone.

The vast Blood Purgatory Sea brimmed with the flesh auras of a wide array of species.

After being refined by the sea, the flesh auras would be fused into a secret place at the bottom of the sea of blood.

Upon arriving, Han Yu waited quietly by the sea.

Only after a while did a tall, agile figure suddenly fly out of the sea of blood, clad in a suit of dark purple battle armor.

She didn’t have a single drop of blood on her, as if the bewitching light released by battle armor engraved with countless mysterious patterns had kept the bloody seawater from her body.

Upon seeing her, Han Yu couldn’t tear his eyes from her, looking fascinated.

Ophelia’s long, dark purple hair dangled like a waterfall, reaching her slender lower back. Her face was so exquisite it looked like it was from a painting. Her eyes seemed to be fashioned from clear, purple crystal, brimming with magical power.

Even though Han Yu couldn’t stop looking at her, he avoided her eyes.

It was as if by looking into her eyes, his soul would instantly be plunged into endless illusions, and trapped there eternally.

“Did you find out who killed Cardy?” Ophelia asked coldly. Unlike a woman’s soft, pleasant voice, her voice was filled with strong killing intent and a thirst for blood.

After Cardy’s death in the Domain of the Falling Stars, Grand Monarch Primal Demon had instructed her to take over the Blood Purgatory Sea.

As the new warden of the Blood Purgatory Sea, her primary responsibility was to ensure the successful resurrection of that grand monarch.

By relying a drop of his Blood Essence, that grand monarch had already gathered a tremendous amount of flesh aura essence and reformed his heart at the bottom of the Blood Purgatory Sea. Now, he was rebuilding his bones, meridians, and flesh by relying on his heart.

When Cardy had been alive, he had been able to go down to the place where the heart was, and communicate with him through his bloodline.

Besides that, he also had the key to the forbidden place at the bottom of the sea, along with many other treasures that were helpful to the heart.

Because of his demise, not only did Ophelia have great difficulty entering the forbidden place at the bottom of the sea, but she also couldn’t rely on her bloodline to communicate with the grand monarch’s heart.

“The seventh Son of the Stars refused to trade with us or tell us who killed Cardy,” Han Yu answered respectfully.

Ophelia frowned and said in a slightly hoarse voice, “Trade would have been the easiest way for us to get Cardy’s possessions. But since he refuses to do that, I’ll have to expend extra time and effort before I can kill him. Also, even though I’ll be able to learn the truth about Cardy’s death from his memories, it’s hard to say whether we can get his possessions.”

Frustrated, Han Yu said, “Perhaps he refused to do business with us because a lot of human experts were watching.”

Ophelia pondered in silence for a long while before suddenly fixing Han Yu with a deep look. “How much do you know about the seventh Son of the Stars?”

Han Yu shook his head. “I only met him in the Domain of Nether Heaven. Even though his cultivation base and battle prowess were far inferior back then, he wasn’t easy to deal with.”

With a confused expression, Ophelia asked, “So do you think Mo Heng arranged for him to fight an eighth grade champion of our choice because he wanted him dead, or does he have other intentions?”

“Hmm...” Han Yu couldn’t give her an answer.

“Did you tell them the time for the duel?”

“I did.”

“Good.”
