Song Wen raised his hand and pointed at the towering Blood Wall.

The Blood Wall surged like waves, crashing into the lake.

In an instant, the entire lake surface turned blood red.

Song Wen didn't rush to pursue Yang Yu. As a three-zhang-tall Giant Corpse, he stretched out his corpse claws and clenched them in the air.

Instantly, a ten-zhang-long Thunder Spear slowly materialized.

Gripping the spear with both hands, he thrust it fiercely at the imprisoned Ice Soul Spider.

Watching the Thunder Spear pierce down at him, the Ice Soul Spider's eyes filled with despair.

It was now meat on the chopping block, utterly defenseless.

The Thunder Spear pierced through the Ice Soul Spider's most vulnerable spot—its eyes—and into its skull.

Then, the power of thunder erupted instantly.

The Ice Soul Spider's head exploded, and its mangled corpse plummeted into the crimson lake below.

In the distance, Mi He's lips twitched slightly as she witnessed this scene.

Although the Ice Soul Spider and Blood Wraith Beast had already been soul-refined by Yang Yu, their deaths were inevitable. But seeing them truly die before her eyes still brought a pang of heartache.

After all, with Yang Yu dead, Mi He would become the undisputed ruler of the Beastmaster Sect. Without the protection of those two Fourth-Tier Peak Spirit Beasts, her and the sect's strength would be severely diminished.

Song Wen paid no heed to Mi He's thoughts. He plunged into the lake in a sudden dive.

Yang Yu, being a Peak Nascent Soul cultivator, had already recovered from the Focused Spirit Stab's attack in a short time. However, the Blood Sea Seal had sealed off the entire lake's surface, leaving him nowhere to escape.

As he endured the searing pain in his Sea of Consciousness and released his Spirit Sense, desperately searching for an underwater tunnel to flee through, a figure burst through the water from above.

It was Song Wen!

He had reverted from his Undying True Corpse Transformation Zombie form to his normal human appearance.

Yang Yu's expression turned ashen, his mind racing. But after repeated calculations, he realized he had exhausted all his means and was cornered.

"Ji Yin, do you truly intend to kill me without mercy?"

Song Wen replied, "Yang Yu, you should have considered this day when you hunted me down with Xue Mei and Gui Ni back then."

Perhaps knowing he couldn't escape death, Yang Yu lost his earlier panic. His face suddenly twisted into a savage grimace.

"Ji Yin, if you want to kill me, you'll pay a price."

As he spoke, a small, exquisite Square Cauldron flew from Yang Yu's mouth.

The Square Cauldron rapidly expanded, growing to a towering ten feet tall.

Crimson light blazed from its surface.

The originally jet-black cauldron body quickly began to turn red, as if scorched by intense flames.

A terrifying, scorching heat radiated from within the Square Cauldron.

The surrounding lake water instantly vaporized, creating a water vapor-shrouded, waterless zone.

Yang Yu pinched his fingers into a magic seal, and a golden pillar of fire erupted from the Square Cauldron.

The golden pillar of fire shot skyward, hurtling straight toward Song Wen.

Song Wen sneered. "A cornered beast's desperate struggle!"

As soon as the words left his lips, the Bronze Ring above Song Wen's head transformed into a Phantom Shadow, which darted toward Yang Yu.

Just as the golden pillar of fire engulfed Song Wen, the Bronze Ring Phantom Shadow locked around Yang Yu's chest.

Yang Yu felt a binding force surge through him, instantly paralyzing his ability to channel Spiritual Power. Without Spiritual Power to fuel it, the Square Cauldron's flames naturally extinguished.

The flames that had engulfed Song Wen slowly dissipated, revealing his figure. Protected by the Mount Tai Ring, he was completely unharmed.

"Yang Yu, before you die, I'll tell you a secret."

Yang Yu struggled fiercely, but found he couldn't budge the Bronze Ring Phantom Shadow around him. His face turned ashen.

"Ji Yin, if you're going to kill me, then kill me! I, Yang Yu, am not afraid of death!"

Song Wen's lips curled into a slight smile.

"Rest assured, I'll make it quick. But this secret will definitely interest you. The Fallen Immortal Blood you've been desperately searching for... is none other than the Beastmaster Sect's Guardian Divine Beast, Blood Sui."

Yang Yu's eyes widened abruptly, as if they might burst from their sockets.

"This... this is impossible! Blood Sui... how could it be Fallen Immortal Blood?! You must be lying to me!"

Yang Yu's face twisted in agony. The veins on his forehead bulged like writhing earthworms.

Song Wen's words—that Blood Sui was the Fallen Immortal Blood—struck Yang Yu like a thunderbolt.

He couldn't believe it, and he refused to believe it.

If this were true, wouldn't all his scheming and actions over the years have been a ridiculous joke?

Song Wen didn't answer. With a flicker, he instantly appeared before Yang Yu.

He raised his right hand and with a single palm strike, shattered Yang Yu's skull.

Crimson blood gushed out, swirling in the lake water.

Yang Yu felt a powerful suction pulling his soul into Song Wen's Sea of Consciousness.

Gazing at the massive Black Hole looming above the Sea of Consciousness, Yang Yu was utterly stunned. This was beyond his comprehension.

How could the Sea of Consciousness of a mere Nascent Soul cultivator contain such a terrifying entity?

When he noticed Xu Geng's soul suppressed beneath the Black Hole, despair washed over him.

He realized Song Wen had likely been telling the truth.

Fallen Immortal Blood was indeed Blood Sui!

Xu Geng was the Vice Sect Leader of the Divine Blood Gate. In this world, no one likely knew more about Fallen Immortal Blood than him.

The very thing he had painstakingly sought had been right under his nose all along!

A profound sense of irony and bitterness flooded his heart.

This realization plunged him into deeper despair than being killed by Song Wen and facing annihilation.

Yang Yu watched helplessly as the Black Hole devoured him, making no further struggle.

After Song Wen devoured Yang Yu's blood essence and soul, he incinerated the corpse and collected the Storage Ring, Square Cauldron, longsword, shield, and other items.

Then, he recalled the Blood Sea Seal and flew before Lan Chen and Mi He.

"Ji Yin, has Yang Yu truly been killed by you?" Lan Chen asked.

Because the Blood Sea Seal had sealed off the entire lake surface, Lan Chen and Mi He's Spirit Sense couldn't penetrate the depths to discern what had transpired.

Consequently, they remained unaware of the specific events that had unfolded beneath the surface.

This ignorance was precisely why Song Wen had directly revealed the secret of Blood Sui being Fallen Immortal Blood.

Upon hearing Lan Chen's question, Mi He's eyes locked onto Song Wen, a mixture of anticipation and worry swirling within them.

Among the three, she was undoubtedly the one who most desired Yang Yu's demise.

Song Wen nodded in response. "Yang Yu has been vanquished."

Mi He's body visibly relaxed, a weight lifting from her shoulders. Yet she remained silent, her gaze fixed on the lake below, lost in thought.

"Ji Yin, it seems your strength far surpasses mine," Lan Chen said.

Though she possessed the Supreme-Grade Mystic Treasure, the Jade Ruyi, her power was only on par with Yang Yu, who had two Fourth-Tier Peak Spirit Beasts.

If they were to fight to the death, Yang Yu, who could merge with the Blood Wraith Beast, would likely have the slight advantage.

"Immortal Maiden flatters me," Song Wen replied casually, then raised his right hand.

In his grasp were Yang Yu's belongings.

Aside from the two hundred High-Grade Spirit Stones in the Storage Ring, these items held little value for Song Wen.

Lan Chen had promised Mi He to return Yang Yu's possessions.

Song Wen was happy to do her a favor.

Moreover, he still needed Mi He's help.

"Fellow Daoist Mi He, these are Yang Yu's belongings. As per your agreement with Immortal Maiden Lan Chen, they belong to you," Song Wen said, tossing all the items in his hand to Mi He.
