"Doesn't this Blood Crystal exist on the continent?" Ricky asked both Tina and the Evil Mandragora.
"Yes, you're right. The Blood Crystal doesn't exist on the continent. In fact, it only exists in the Devil Land," the Evil Mandragora replied. "It is so precious that all the creatures on the continent desperately want to get it."
"If it only exists in the Devil Land, then why is it here?" Ricky asked in confusion.
"There are two reasons for that. One is that strong devils left it here. Second, the environment here and the one in the Devil Land are quite similar in a lot of ways, such as the blood and evil spirit flooding this area, hence it is possible to create the Blood Crystal in this environment."
"According to you, the Blood Crystal is created in the Devil Land. In that case, then why can it also give benefit to the creatures on the continent? Doesn't the Blood Crystal contain the evil spirit? After all, the Blood Crystal is made from the evil spirit and blood," Ricky asked for clarification.
"Maybe it's because things are sure to develop in the opposite direction when they become extreme. The Blood Crystal formed by the evil spirit and the force of heaven and earth should have the evil spirit. On the contrary, it is quite odd that it doesn't contain any evil spirit at all. Only the purest blood vitality is inside of it."
"So it means that the Blood Crystal can absorb blood and use it to grow. The longer time it takes, the more pure blood it will contain.
Hmm... Did I get it right?" Ricky muttered. "Then, what's the Blood Crystal's immediate effect on its user?"
"Good question. As a matter of fact, the Blood Crystal can make an invisible exchange of blood and activate the blood power!" the Evil Mandragora said. "Aside from that, it can stimulate the blood power of a living creature regardless of its realm or level."
"Can you tell me more about the exchange of blood and stimulation of the blood power?" Ricky asked as he wanted to know more.
"The so-called blood exchange is done to remove the impurities in the creatures' blood. Since the Blood Crystal has the purest blood in the world, refining the blood will stimulate the best blood power in the body of the living creature.
In instances where a creature's blood power has not awakened, the Blood Crystal will help awaken the blood power."
"What? Did I hear it right? Can it really help a creature awaken its blood power?" Ricky said as he jumped in excitement.
In that case, the Blood Crystal could help Ricky activate the mysterious blood power inside his body.
"Hold your horses, Ricky. I know what you are thinking. However, we
Who knows what creatures and energies lurk inside of the crystal? I have to go in." Ricky clenched his fist and turned his eyes to Tina.
"Ricky, remember to be careful!" Seeing that Ricky was determined, Tina reminded him of the dangers. After all, she knew that whatever she said, Ricky would still pursue looking for the Evil Mandragora. He would stay true to his word and not break his promise.
"Lad, in the martial world, only a few creatures can be so kind and righteous just like you," the Dragon Intent Grass sighed as he looked at Ricky with caring eyes.
Soon after, Ricky burst out the power of his five mutants, collecting the chaotic power into his body.
He jumped out of the Massacring Zone and went towards the lights. In an instant, he was engulfed by the Blood Crystal.
Feeling a sudden tremble all over his body, he tried his best to stay calm as he made his way to another space.
'What is this place? Everything is blood red: from the space to the sea below...' Ricky thought as he gasped for air. He felt like he was suffocating from the blood's stench.
Aside from the blood sea, the only place where Ricky could stay was probably on the huge blood stones that floated in the air. But these blood stones were not the Blood Crystal; instead they were normal pieces of stones that had been eroded by blood for countless years.
Moreover, he felt the strong power of the array being emitted from the area.
"Is this the space inside the Blood Crystal?" Ricky muttered. Without wasting time, he activated the Golden Spirit Eyes to look for the Evil Mandragora.
"Ha-ha, a creature has finally come in! Oh, the Evil Mandragora, here you are! God is with me indeed!" Just then, the sound of a loud laughter caught Ricky's attention.
