Chapter 285: Scarlet blood head venerate

When they stood at the third floor entrance scarlet blood, a dark pressure from within came over them.Even though they had not entered yet, there was a thick blood smell congealing in the air. It was like there was a sea of blood behind these large doors.As long as they were opened, the blood would begin to wildly pour out.

Chu Tian looked at the two girls, “Prepare yourselves, I’m about to open it!”

Chen Bingyu and Nangong Yun nodded, they had made their preparations!

Chu Tian used force to push open the metal doors and instantly, a red light enveloped them.The three of them felt their bodies tremble at the same time. There were blood red evil ghosts behind the door, densely packed inside, filling the entire main hall.

Nangong Yun was shocked, “This is bad, there’s an ambush!”

Why were there so many monsters here?

When Nangong Yun raised her hammer to launch an attack, a divine sense suddenly entered Nangong Yun’s mind.A flash appeared in Nangong Yun’s eyes as countless blood red evil ghost disappeared from in front of her.

“What happened just now?”

“Just an illusion, a small trick.”

Chu Tian did not care about this at all.Not to mention the “Mind’s Lamp” realm’s divine sense being able to break through most illusions, even with the special ability of his main spirit alone, Chu Tian did not need to fear any illusion techniques.

Of course the “Mind’s Lamp” could affect the people around him.

So, Chu Tian used it to help Chen Bingyu and Nangong Yun break their illusions.

The scarlet blood temple’s third floor was not as big as the other two floors and did not have mountains of precious items.There were only a few fierce statues silently standing there and a stone platform in the center.

A scarlet artifact around thirty centimeters tall was placed on it.

It was covered in scarlet lines and blood filaments were floating around it.A powerful aura was released from the item, giving off a strong suppressive feeling.

If their guess was not wrong, the strong blood scent in the air and the illusion they just saw should have all been caused by this thing.

“It’s just like in the book.”Nangong Yun revealed a look of pleasant surprise, “The scarlet blood sacred item – the blood chalice!”

The three of them were certain that the blood chalice Chu Tian wanted was the item right in front of them.This blood chalice was also the most important sacred item for the scarlet blood branch, so there was nothing unusual about the abilities it had.

Nangong Yun excitedly said, “I bet it’s at least a Soul Contracting Item!”

Chu Tian rolled his eyes at her, “Can you not speak nonsense!”

Nangong Yun felt indignant.Was this considered nonsense?

Soul Contracting Items were rare!

Chu Tian had several Soul Contracting Items like the Netherworld Sword and the Soul Controlling Bell, which were all taken from the ten thousand ancient corpse tomb.He did not know the origin of this ten thousand ancient corpse tomb, but he was certain that the sect that built it was stronger than the Heavenly Demon Cult. That’s why there were Soul Contracting Items in the ten thousand ancient corpse tomb and why there were still things left after ten thousand years of excavation.

The Fox Faced Corpse King.

As well as the little fox.

Didn’t they all come from the ten thousand corpse ancient tomb?

That ancient sect had already disappeared for over ten thousand years.

The Heavenly Demon Cult had only been destroyed for several hundred years.

The Heavenly Demon Cult did not have as many Soul Contracting Items as the Yin Corpse Valley, but each branch had one as their sacred item.This blood chalice’s strength was not inferior to the Netherworld Sword and may even be a bit stronger.

This did not mean that the blood chalice’s grade was higher than the Netherworld Sword.

The blood chalice had been sealed for a few hundred years and its power had already decreased by a large amount.The Netherworld Sword had been asleep for close to ten thousand years. These were two completely different concepts.

Nangong Yun charged over, “I’ll go and grab it!”

The blood chalice was the most important treasure of the scarlet blood branch and now that they had plundered most of the temple, they just needed to take the blood chalice and they could leave!

“Wait!”

Chu Tian quickly stopped Nangong Yun.

Nangong Yun asked with a frown, “What are you doing?The Soul Contracting Item is in front of our eyes, what reason do we have to not take it!”

“Nangong, I have to reprimand you.If you don’t use your brain for a long time, it will rust away.”

Nangong Yun’s teeth itched with anger.How does this old lady not use her brain?

“Can you not see it?The blood chalice has recognized a master.If we take it away now, the blood chalice will not change masters and we won’t be able to use its strength!”

Most Soul Contracting Items will have a simple consciousness, so they will recognize a master.Back in the ten thousand corpse ancient tomb, the Yin Wind Swordsman Wan Wuyi had tried to seize the Thunder Spirit Bead, but he had been injured by it.Chu Tian did not have a way to use the Thunder Spirit because of the spirit’s resistance.

This was an advantage and a shortcoming.

The advantage was that once the Soul Contracting Item took a master, unless the master wanted to separate or the master died, the spirit will never choose another master.

The shortcoming was that if one wanted to forcefully use the Soul Contracting Item, if one did not have a suitable attribute or cultivation technique, they would be rejected by the Soul Contracting Item.

“Then what should we do?”

“Don’t be anxious!”Chu Tian opened the Mind’s Eye and carefully observed the chalice, “There is an array around the hall and the chalice is suppressing the core of the array.If it is rashly taken away, the large array will activate. If the array activates, it will use some kind of power that will awaken the scarlet blood head venerate.”

“Ah?”Nangong Yun had an awkward expression, “Then what’s the best plan of action?Doesn’t this mean it’s impossible for us to take the blood chalice?”

This truly was a troublesome matter.

A precious item was in front of them.

If they couldn’t take it, it would be a large regret on this mission!

Hong, long, long……

The exterior scarlet blood temple barrier began to tremble!

Chen Bingyu reminded them, “There are people coming!”
