Chapter 5641: Blood Waterfall
“Thank you for the gift, Sacred Teacher.” Immortal Emperor Bai Lian understood that this was the extent of his fateful connection with Li Qiye. He bowed his head one more time before standing up and leaving.
After he was gone, Thousand-hand Dao Lord prostrated and said: “Greetings, Sacred Teacher.”
She came from Ancestral Divine Temple of Lion’s Roar in Eight Desolaces; her connection with Li Qiye was deeper.
“The progenitor always taught us to serve you, Sacred Teacher.” She said, referring to Chi Xiaodie who was also known as Supreme Monarch or Nightyearn Butterfly Monarch.
She was once a disciple of the temple and had been taught by Chi Xiaodie. She didn’t let her progenitor down and eventually became a dao lord.
“Decent job at cultivation.” Li Qiye stared at her and said: “Still need further refinement.”
“I will strive diligently.” She responded.
“I’m going to take a look.” He glanced forward.
“May we follow you to broaden our horizon, Sacred Teacher?” Sindragon asked, not wanting to miss this chance.
Thousand-hand felt the same way.
“Let’s go.” Li Qiye smiled.
Sindragon turned back into his gigantic form and carried the other two forward with haste.
“Have you gone this far before, Fellow Daoist?” Sindragon asked.
“This is not that frightening.” Li Qiye said: “Once you see the ancient ming, then you will see the difference.”
“We have heard of them before, they were exterminated by you, Sacred Teacher.” Sindragon said.
Li Qiye chuckled and didn’t say anything else.
“We’re here, it’s right there.” Thousand-hand pointed ahead.
Before them was a blood waterfall descending into the ocean of blood. Strangely enough, there was not a hint of sound despite the scale, only an eerie silence.
One could look up and never see the source of the waterfall. It seemed to be coming from the high heaven. Thus, the impact should create thunderous splashes. Alas, there was nothing to hear.
In fact, the waterfall didn’t look like it was flowing despite certainly doing so. It appeared to have solidified and turned into a frozen blood wall. The very nature of this silent and motionless blood waterfall was incomprehensible.
It seemed endless, most likely the source of the entire ocean and Lightning Realm. It also emitted a strange blood mist - virtually imperceptible to the naked eye.
However, after meticulous scrutiny, one would notice blood cells floating among the mist, always ready to multiply or drain the life of those touched by them.
Sindragon noticed the mist and activated a draconic barrier. The aura protected him from all sides but this wasn’t sufficient.
“Zzz....” His wings started rotting and the spread continued.
“Activate!” He summoned all twelve dao fruits, wanting to use chaos true energy to expel the decaying force.
His overwhelming strength couldn’t stop this force either. The rest of his body started decaying to his dismay.
