Chapter 76 – Blood Cocoon

Judging from the stone giant’s original power, even if Ye Wei were to tear another medium-grade scroll and activate the Myst stance within, it would not really be effective, but now he saw a chance with the iron talisman’s aid.

“Black Ice Sword, cut!”

It was a golden opportunity, and Ye Wei naturally took the chance. He screamed and mercilessly drove the ancient ice-cold sword into the puppet’s neck.

Although Ye Wei was the owner of the iron talisman, he didn’t really know why or how it could crush the puppet, but everyone who was looking from the behind thought he did. They assumed the talisman was a powerful item given to him by his mysterious family.

While Ye Wei was driving the Black Ice Sword toward the puppet’s neck, everyone watched the highly anticipated strike; the hundreds of Warriors and also Ye Wei could not take their eyes off the sword.

How this sword struck would determine everyone’s destiny.

“Booom!”

Under the watchful eyes, the chillingly sharp ancient blade cut across the stone giant’s neck, its head rolled off from its neck immediately.

“Black Ice Sword, cut it! Cut!” Ye Wei had no other thought in his head; he just wanted to get in as many strikes as he could before the sword disappeared. He used every last bit of strength in his body to repeatedly strike the giant.

The puppet was almost invulnerable, but under the iron talisman’s suppression, it was no different than ordinary stone!

‘How could ordinary stone withstand a Myst stance?’

The sword kept striking down.

Within the frame of a few breathes, Ye Wei took full advantage of the situation and used the Black Ice Sword to attack the puppet multiple times. When the sword finally disappeared, the stone giant was completely demolished; he was turned into countless pieces of gravel.

Just as the monster crumbled, the five Blood Devourer crystals that powered the giant no longer had a host, and they shot towards Ye Wei.

These five crystals were superior to the two hundred and thirty-eight Blood Devourer crystals from before; the Qi and the violent intent were also stronger!

“No!” Ye Wei’s face changed massively. Subconsciously he wanted to dodge the crystals, but their speed was just too fast, in the blink of an eye they had already landed on Ye Wei’s body.

Five crystals violently exploded when they touched Ye Wei’s skin and dispersed into a screen of thick blood mist. Just as it was about to wrap around Ye Wei, the iron talisman flew three inches above Ye Wei’s head. At this moment, the dense blood mist had already become a three meters tall human shaped blood cocoon.

Everything happened in mere seconds, so quick that nobody could even react.

“What’s going on?”

“We have to save him!”

A couple of Warriors realized what happened and hurried to Ye Wei’s side. They anxiously looked at the three meters tall human shaped cocoon. Ye Wei has saved their lives, and to beat this stone puppet he used a total of three medium-grade mystic scrolls. This favor was as big as Mt. Tai.

Although they were here at Bloodmist Valley for treasures, Ye Wei had saved them and a lot of people were grateful! That’s why, even when the passage that led deeper into the labyrinth had appeared on the ground where the golden puppets were located after the stone giant has shattered, they were still guarding the giant human shaped blood cocoon with faces full of concern.

Hong Xun frowned while looking at the blood cocoon. Aware of how dangerous the Blood Devourer crystals were, he scanned the crowd and asked in a calm tone, “Is there a solution?”

Even one Blood Devourer crystal contained enough energy and rage to strip a Warrior’s conscience and drive the victim insane, and now Ye Wei had the energy of five large, superior-grade Blood Devourer crystal consuming him, a mere Student.

Students were not as strong willed as Warriors. As warriors already had the experience of defeating their inner demons at least once and because of this their minds were much stronger.

For cultivators, breaking through star levels meant just a minor breakthroughs, and to achieve those, one only needs to strengthen their Sentient and body, which is relatively easy.

But if one wants to advance to the next rank, from Student to Warrior, for example, one must experience a major breakthrough. During which the cultivator will have to face their inner demons. From Student to Warrior, Warrior to condensed prime Warrior, condensed prime Warrior to returned prime Warrior, during all these stages a cultivator will have to face and conquer his personal fears; otherwise, he will remain a ten-star Student or ten-star Warrior forever. Someone never strong enough to deal with their inner demons.

“He is just a Student, so his will is weaker than Warriors. These Blood Devourer crystals are stronger than the ones that powered the weaker puppets… I’m afraid…”

“So what should we do? Are you saying that we should just watch?” Zhou Hou was so anxious that his forehead was covered in sweat.
