Ye Ling had originally intended to observe what would happen after the Blood Spirit consumed the Great Dao Blood Crystal. Hearing Xu Xiao Qing's words, Ye Ling immediately reacted, teleporting in front of the Blood Spirit and striking it with his palm.
The Blood Spirit, about to swallow the Great Dao Blood Crystal, was dispersed by Ye Ling, and the crystal fell into his hand.
The moment he touched the Great Dao Blood Crystal, Ye Ling felt time laws mixed with immense resentment surge towards him.
Sensing the fierce resentment, Ye Ling frowned, using his demonic energy to push the time laws and resentment back into the Great Dao Blood Crystal.
"This resentment is so deeply intertwined with the time laws. What a pity for this treasure."
Ye Ling suppressed the Great Dao Blood Crystal, teleported back to the shore, and asked Xu Xiao Qing, "The resentment within this Great Dao Blood Crystal will instantly devour your consciousness. Why do you want it?"
Xu Xiao Qing said, "There is a voice in my mind telling me that I can purify the resentment within the Great Dao Blood Crystal."
Hearing Xu Xiao Qing's words, Ye Ling was quite surprised and confirmed, "Are you serious? This is not a joke."
While he could block the resentment within the Great Dao Blood Crystal, if Xu Xiao Qing were to directly come into contact with it, and the resentment inside were to erupt, no one could save her.
Xu Xiao Qing swallowed slightly, then nodded, "I, I'm sure. Perhaps my purpose in coming to this Blood Prison is to purify this Great Dao Blood Crystal."
In fact, Xu Xiao Qing herself didn't know where her confidence came from, but the voice in her heart told her that she could purify the Great Dao Blood Crystal!
Chi You also said, "Your Majesty, Xu Xiao Qing is the key to opening the bronze gate leading to the Blood Prison. She harbors a special power within her, perhaps she can truly do it."
Chi You was well aware of how precious the Great Dao Blood Crystal was, but unfortunately, he also felt endless resentment from it, knowing that it could not be absorbed.
Seeing the treasure being wasted, Chi You felt heartache.
If Xu Xiao Qing could truly purify the Great Dao Blood Crystal, it would not be a waste of heaven's bounty.
Ye Ling did not want to give up such a gem, but he was still worried about Xu Xiao Qing's safety and confirmed with her again, "Are you sure you can purify the resentment within this Great Dao Blood Crystal?"
"I must remind you, if you fail, your spirit will be devoured by the resentment within. Furthermore, as this Great Dao Blood Crystal contains time laws, your body will also be polluted by time and excluded from it."
"If something like that happens, even if I can reverse time, I might not be able to save you."
Hearing Ye Ling's words, a flicker of fear flashed in Xu Xiao Qing's eyes, but she was still unwilling to give up trying.
This was probably the only thing she could do. If she didn't do this, she might never have the chance to repay Ye Ling in her lifetime!
With this thought, the fear in Xu Xiao Qing's eyes gradually dissipated, replaced by courage and determination.
Xu Xiao Qing looked at Ye Ling and nodded firmly, saying, "Senior, please let me try!"
Seeing Xu Xiao Qing's determined gaze, Ye Ling sighed slightly and decided to respect her choice.
"I understand. Be careful."
With that, Ye Ling took a drop of essence blood from Xu Xiao Qing before handing her the Great Dao Blood Crystal.
With the essence blood containing Xu Xiao Qing's soul, even if she were to be devoured by the resentment, Ye Ling would at least have her unpolluted soul in hand.
With unpolluted essence blood and soul fragments, Ye Ling would have a way to save Xu Xiao Qing.
The moment Xu Xiao Qing took the Great Dao Blood Crystal, the resentment within it erupted completely, sweeping outwards!
Sensing the powerful resentment, Ye Ling's gaze sharpened, and he immediately grabbed Chi You and retreated.
The time laws and resentment intertwined, continuously impacting Xu Xiao Qing's body and polluting her soul.
Soon, Xu Xiao Qing's eyes turned crimson, her face turned purplish-blue, showing signs of going mad.
Seeing this, Chi You exclaimed in alarm, "This is bad, she seems to be consumed by malevolent energy. We must save her!"
"No, not yet..." Ye Ling said quickly, his gaze fixed on Xu Xiao Qing with utmost seriousness.
On the surface, Xu Xiao Qing seemed unable to withstand the devouring resentment of the Great Dao Blood Crystal. However, Ye Ling could notice a power surging from her heart, protecting her last line of defense.
As long as her heart was not consumed by the resentment, Xu Xiao Qing could regain her consciousness.
"That power can absorb resentment independently, completely excluding time laws... If this trend continues, perhaps Xiao Qing can truly purify the Great Dao Blood Crystal!"
"It's truly astonishing!"
Just as Ye Ling was observing Xu Xiao Qing purifying the Great Dao Blood Crystal, the blood pool behind him began to churn again.
"Brat, you dare to stop me!" Da Feng Novel Network
The Blood Spirit's voice echoed from the blood pool once more, and then its form re-condensed on the surface of the pool, its eyes filled with madness.
Ye Ling turned to look, and saw that in the Blood Spirit's hand, it held a colorless and transparent Great Dao Blood Crystal!
It was clear that the Blood Spirit had absorbed a complete Great Dao Blood Crystal!
Chi You, feeling the surging, monstrous resentment behind him, his expression changed slightly. He could no longer concern himself with Xu Xiao Qing and quickly turned to face the Blood Spirit.
The resentment swirling around the Blood Spirit at this moment was something even Chi You, a demon god who had slaughtered countless gods and demons, could not withstand.
It was too terrifying!
Not only the resentment, but the time laws also surrounding the Blood Spirit had completely liquefied, like a rushing river.
However, within that small river of the Great Dao formed by time laws, a large amount of resentment was mixed.
Seeing the Blood Spirit's current state, Chi You's expression drastically changed, and he exclaimed, "Why is there another Great Dao Blood Crystal in the blood pool?"
"This is terrible!"
Chi You was shocked. The Blood Spirit was already incredibly powerful, and now it had absorbed a Great Dao Blood Crystal, completely mastering time laws, coupled with that berserk resentment…
Chi You could not imagine how powerful the Blood Spirit was at this moment!
Ye Ling, however, remained unfazed. He sized up the current Blood Spirit and asked, "The resentment did not pollute you?"
The Blood Spirit chuckled sinisterly, "I am formed from the resentment of billions of living beings. This resentment is my power, how can it pollute me?"
"Brat, I admit, you are indeed strong, but now that I have devoured the Great Dao Blood Crystal, my strength is no longer what it used to be."
"I want you to guess, how much chance of victory do you have against me now?"
Hearing the Blood Spirit's boastful words, Ye Ling's lips curved slightly, and he raised a single finger towards the Blood Spirit.
"Ten percent chance?"
Seeing Ye Ling's gesture, the Blood Spirit laughed heartily, "Brat, you think too highly of yourself! I..."
Ye Ling smiled and said, "I said, one hundred percent."
