Proving Immortality Starting with Hextech Runes

Bloodlust is the most ferocious and violent of all evil energies.

Often conceived deep within ancient battlefields, where the rich blood energy lingers for years, eventually coalescing into such ferocious creatures.

Even an ordinary cultivator who only inhales a trace of blood essence...

In mild cases, it can cause irritability and anger, and damage to the spirit and soul; in severe cases, it can erode the internal organs and erode the foundation of the meridians.

Ultimately, his vital energy and blood depleted, his meridians ruptured, and he died suddenly.

Chen Xu had just examined his own body and discovered a stubborn trace of blood evil in his meridians, like a carbuncle that had taken root in the bone.

If a method cannot be found to completely eradicate it, it will bring endless troubles in future cultivation.

However... this body is merely an avatar of Chen Xu.

When the time limit is reached, it will vanish like smoke.

This trace of bloodthirsty energy could not affect the main body.

However, Wen Tianhe's way of doing things is a bit too domineering...

Although it is unknown what kind of cultivation technique he practices, he is able to devour and refine such a massive amount of blood essence.

However, given his methods, it shouldn't be too difficult for him to completely cleanse the last trace of blood evil from his body.

Is the bloodthirsty aura remaining in my body due to my insufficient true strength, or was it deliberately left behind by Wen Tianhe?

Never mind, there's no point in thinking about it anymore...

Chen Xu suppressed his turbulent thoughts. The ruins were intensifying their shock. Although the Blood Demon and Blood Fiend had been swallowed up by Wen Tianhe, there was no guarantee that there wouldn't be other dangers.

He then activated his spiritual energy to protect himself, and also affixed several talismans to his body in case of emergency.

Having done all this, he didn't linger and sped off towards the exit of the ruins.

It took more than half a month for the flying boat to reach the ruins of the First Saint Sect after it left the Cold Pine Gate.

This clone's time is now running out.

Chen Xu planned to leave this increasingly chaotic core area as soon as possible, find a secluded corner, and switch to another avatar to carry out his mission.

……

Three days later, Chen Xu had finished changing his clone and emerged from a hidden cave.

As soon as he appeared, he looked up at Wen Tianhe, who was still refining the blood demon energy in the air, and was filled with doubt and surprise.

At this moment, the blood-red tornadoes surrounding Wen Tianhe had almost completely dissipated.

However, Wen Tianhe's cultivation level not only failed to improve, but instead dropped to the early stage of Core Formation.

However, Chen Xu did not think that Wen Tianhe's strength would decline.

After all, Wen Tianhe had exhausted all his efforts to refine this Blood Fiend Relic, and even went so far as to break ties with a Core Formation cultivator like Mo Jude.

So all for the sake of falling down a minor realm? That's just too absurd.

Every step in the Core Formation Realm is incredibly difficult. Unless there are immense benefits involved, who would willingly allow themselves to fall below a certain level?

Chen Xu stared at the suspended figure.

As expected, although Wen Tianhe's aura had declined, he showed no signs of weakness.

On the contrary, the aura is more refined and pure, subtly revealing a profound sense of returning to simplicity.

However... the wisp of crimson spiritual light surrounding him felt somewhat familiar to Chen Xu.

It seems to be the demonic energy of a top-tier demonic technique?

Just as Chen Xu's mind was racing, Wen Tianhe's voice suddenly rang in his mind:

"There's no need to search for an exit anymore. At the bottom of the crevice, there is a trial tower."

This is one of the core inheritance sites of the First Saint Sect, containing countless opportunities.

Go and try it yourself; what you gain depends on your luck.

As for the trace of bloodthirsty energy remaining in your body, I will remove it for you once you return to the sect.

As the voice dissipated in his mind, Wen Tianhe casually flicked his sleeves.

He waved a black jade slip, which landed in front of Chen Xu.

Chen Xu's gaze sharpened, and he reached out and took it into his palm.

This should be the second half of "The Ghostly Demon Refining Technique"...

It seems that all the disciples of Moyun Valley have perished, so my deal with him is now complete...

Although he himself did not actually do anything to kill the cultivators of Moyun Valley, it was all the work of the Blood Demon.

Fortunately, Wen Tianhe didn't hold it against him and still kept his promise.

But what exactly is this Trial Tower he mentioned?

Judging from his tone, it seems I have no choice but to go...

Chen Xu's gaze swept over the bottomless fissures in the ruins, and he pondered in his heart.

Without hesitation, he immediately piloted his spirit sword and flew down into the crevice.

After all, this is just a clone, and it can afford to lose even if there is danger.

Moreover, the second half of the "Ghostly Demon Refining Technique" has already been obtained.

As for the opportunities within the tower, seize them if they arise.

Since his main body had been hiding, even if this clone was destroyed, Chen Xu wouldn't suffer any loss...

The spirit sword carried Chen Xu as it plummeted downwards.

After passing through an invisible barrier, the view suddenly opened up before me.

Below was an extremely vast underground plaza, with a dome tens of feet high.

Countless enormous cracks spread across the surface like a spider web, and rays of sunlight streamed down from them, becoming the only source of light in this place.

The square is paved with gray-white boulders, which, after years of erosion, exude a desolate atmosphere.

In the center, there is a small tower several meters high.

At this moment, an extremely faint spiritual light was circulating within. The tower door was open, revealing a deep and dark interior that emitted faint spatial fluctuations.

Just as Chen Xu was about to step forward to investigate, a disheveled figure staggered out from the open tower door.

His steps were unsteady and his breathing was disordered; it was Li Yuan who had left earlier.

As Li Yuangang stepped out of the tower gate, his pupils suddenly contracted the moment he looked up, and he shuddered in fright.

"Fish...Lord Fish Emperor? What brings you here?!"

His voice trembled, and his body instinctively arched even lower.

Looking at Li Yuan's panicked appearance, Chen Xu couldn't help but find it somewhat amusing.

"This Li Yuan is exaggerating a bit too much... Am I really that scary?"

Little did he know how nervous Li Yuan was inside.

"Why is this jinx here too..."

Li Yuan pondered to himself that he had personally witnessed the terrifying methods and power of the Fish Emperor.

The person before him, who was able to escape unscathed from the Fish Emperor's lair, was naturally a mysterious and unpredictable figure in Li Yuan's mind.

Chen Xu's gaze lingered briefly on Li Yuan, he nodded slightly, and asked in a cold voice:

"Now that you've come out, you must have experienced something. What's it like inside this Trial Tower?"

Li Yuan's heart tightened, and he dared not conceal anything, speaking respectfully:

"Your Majesty, this tower is the core trial ground of the First Saint Sect, and it is called the Nine Separation Heart Forging Tower."

There are nine levels in total, and each level has its own challenges.

The higher the level you clear, the more precious the inheritance you can obtain. However...

He cautiously raised his head, stealing a glance at Chen Xu's expression, before continuing:

"However... the trials inside the tower are extremely difficult."

My subordinates didn't even make it past the first level; they encountered a blood pool illusion, which was extremely dangerous.

However, if it were Lord Fish Emperor, he would surely pass with ease…”

Upon hearing this, Chen Xu looked at the Nine Li Heart Forging Tower, and then, without further hesitation, went inside.

After a spatial fluctuation, Chen Xu found himself standing on the edge of a solidified pool of blood.

The viscous blood plasma was like a swamp, constantly bubbling.

All around was an endless crimson mist, as if countless ferocious beasts were lurking...
