Chapter 1675: Chapter 1675: Essence Blood is Indeed More Useful Than Elixirs!
“Young master, what should we do?”
Carson Flores glanced at the young man in black and said in a low voice, “Make your move, focus on self-preservation. If we win, aim to subdue them, but do not kill.”
“Understood!”
The entire stone chamber instantly erupted into chaos with dozens of people engaging in battle.
Countless magical treasures soared, and the clash of energies ensued, making the once spacious stone chamber chaotic in an instant.
June Weiss and Mona Briggs attacked, positioning themselves to shield Carson Flores, preventing opponents at the True Immortal Realm from reaching him.
Carson Flores’ power was approaching the Late Stage Earth Immortal, though not a True Immortal, his combat strength was not inferior, fully capable of handling True Immortal Realm fighters. However, he only revealed his Earth Immortal strength, fighting at a steady pace to ensure his safety.
The young man in black was exceedingly powerful, a standard Peak True Immortal capable of battling beyond his level. He charged directly at Beckett Compton.
Beckett Compton, finding no alternative, grit his teeth and collided with the young man in black.
He realized that apart from himself, no one in the Mountain Ridge Monarchy Sect could withstand this young man in black.
The battle was fierce, yet both sides sought only to defeat and control each other rather than kill, so despite the intensity, there was none of the bloodshed and dismemberment seen in the first trial.
The young man in black was ferocious, forcing Beckett Compton to retreat step by step.
The other adventurers weren’t lacking in strength either, steadily suppressing the other disciples of the Mountain Ridge Monarchy Sect. The scales of victory gradually tipped towards the Adventurers’ Alliance.
While the battle raged, back in the chamber where the first trial was held, where several life-threatening adventurers lay in pools of blood awaiting death, there came unexpected movement.
A Light Gate appeared silently in the center of the chamber, and amid the shimmering glow, a figure stepped out, standing before it, and smiled satisfactorily at the sight of corpses and blood strewn across the floor.
This was an exceedingly old man, appearing as if he could lie in a coffin at any moment. His hunched back, a face akin to gnarled tree bark, and a head of disheveled white hair adorned a frame so gaunt it seemed a mere skeletal figure wrapped in skin, exuding age and frailty.
The few adventurers waiting for death on the ground were shocked by this sudden scene, immediately revealing strong will to survive in their eyes.
“Senior, save me!”
“Save us!”
“Senior, save us, and we’ll do anything for you!”
The white-haired elder looked at them, grinning but with a chilling ruthlessness in his eyes, “Wait there.”
Receiving a response to their pleas, they were delighted, promptly nodding and waiting quietly.
The white-haired elder extended his hand, causing all the Space Rings on the hands of the corpses on the ground to fall into his hand.
With his Divine Sense sweeping through the Space Rings, various elixirs brimming with Spiritual Energy flew out, entering directly into his mouth.
Consuming elixirs like drinking water!
As these elixirs entered his mouth, they immediately transformed into surging Spiritual Energy, which he madly absorbed.
As he absorbed a large quantity of elixirs, his frame, once like a pile of bones, began to change. His skin, like dried grass, started to regain some luster, and beneath it, flesh began to grow, gradually filling out.
After a long while, the white-haired elder reopened his eyes. His once hunched back had straightened somewhat.
Though still seeming old and frail, the aura of death had diminished significantly. With flesh on his bones, he resembled a person rather than a specter.
The white-haired elder eyed the Space Rings before him, frowning in discontent.
“So few elixirs, not enough!”
The white-haired elder stretched out his right hand towards the ground, and a Blood Light emerged from his hand, enveloping the entire stone chamber.
The blood on the ground flew up instantly, transforming into slender blood lines that flew toward his palm. From the wounds on the corpses, large quantities of blood surged forth, converging into a Blood Spring.
All the blood in his palm continued to swirl and condense, with the scent of blood growing stronger alongside the life Essentia.
This scene stunned the few dying individuals.
“Senior, what are you doing?”
The white-haired elder grinned, revealing interlocking teeth as white as fangs: “Naturally, I’m healing. You all have such poor strength; living holds no future. Better to reincarnate early and get a better start in the next life.”
The bodies of the nearby dying individuals exploded, their blood transforming into a Blood Spring, instantly merging into the Blood Beads.
Once all the blood and flesh Essentia from the dead in the chamber was absorbed, the white-haired elder casually raised his hand, sending the Blood Beads into his mouth.
The terrifying life Essentia exploded instantly, flowing through his body, transforming into intense vitality that mended his body and nourished his dehydrated Sea of Consciousness.
An eerie yet content smile appeared on the white-haired elder’s face: “As expected, the Essentia Blood of cultivators works best. Haha, after waiting for so long, I’ve finally gotten my chance. I can finally live again!”
