Tang Long took a deep breath. He knew Elder Xu was right, but he still felt a twinge of unease.
After all, despite his powerful talent and physique, the idea of snatching something from a Supreme being felt thrilling.
If he slipped up and died, wouldn't that be the end of it?
He had finally arrived in this world, possessing such talent and a good lineage...
"Elder Xu, perhaps we shouldn't go. My talent is so powerful, even if I can't fuse with that Blood Demon Heart, I can still develop, no, grow..." Tang Long continued.
Internally, Tang Long thought, as a qualified transmigrator, laying low and developing was the best strategy.
Moreover, with such an heaven-defying physique and being part of the True Dragon clan, he could endure and develop into a Quasi-Emperor.
Why risk fighting and taking such a huge gamble for some opportunity?
Especially when it involved snatching from a Supreme, and not even on his home turf. It was far too dangerous.
"Your Highness, caution is good, but being too cautious can lead to great losses. This Blood Demon Heart contains boundless vital energy, capable of forging an unparalleled foundation..."
"If your Supreme Dragon Body is supplemented by this Blood Demon Heart, it will definitely unleash considerable power. Furthermore, the Blood Demon Heart can help you condense a Blood Demon Domain, allowing you to possess the might of a Saint King ahead of time..."
Elder Xu continued, his tone sincere.
His Highness was excellent in all aspects, except for being too timid. And ever since returning from the Tai Yin Valley last time, he had become even more so.
He spent his days cultivating within the True Dragon clan or socializing with the young ladies of the clan, never venturing out...
Elder Xu had served many True Dragon clan princes over the years, but this was the first time he had encountered such a timid one.
If he weren't the Supreme Dragon Body, Elder Xu would have likely slapped him across the face long ago.
Any other True Dragon clan prince would have been overjoyed by the opportunity of the Blood Demon Heart.
"Sigh, fine, I'll reluctantly go and try to snatch it then!" Tang Long said, his tone full of reluctance.
He knew full well that the Blood Demon Heart was a good thing. However, having just broken through to the first level of the Saint realm, it was too dangerous to snatch something from a Supreme.
"Your Highness, tens of thousands of years ago, our True Dragon clan managed to snatch it once. We can do so again this time, it will just require a little more effort!" Elder Xu continued.
Tens of thousands of years ago, that Blood Demon Ancestor was incredibly talented, a supreme expert at the ninth level of the Supreme realm, yet they still managed to subdue him.
Could this newcomer possibly be stronger than that Blood Demon Ancestor?
Tang Long nodded in resignation. His desire to develop discreetly was thwarted, making things difficult.
However, having had the experience once before, the success rate this time should be higher.
Right, the beautiful girl he met in the Tai Yin Valley last time seemed to be from the Celestial Fox clan.
He wondered how she was doing now.
Tang Long recalled Su Mengli, whom he had encountered in the Tai Yin Secret Realm.
Even within the True Dragon clan, a beauty like Su Mengli was rarely seen.
If he could have some romantic encounter, it might not be so bad.
Hiss... Forget about her, Tang Long thought again about the methods she employed when they were jointly snatching the Profound Yin Heaven-Reaching Flower.
It was terrifying. It was better to stick with the gentle and safe girls of the True Dragon clan and avoid taking risks...
Tang Long then dismissed his thoughts and continued cultivating by An Yuan Lake.
Elder Xu, on the other hand, left An Yuan Lake to prepare for the struggle for the Blood Demon Heart.
An Yuan Lake returned to its peaceful state.
...
The Royal Palace of the Qing Qiu Celestial Fox Clan.
At this moment, the entire palace was filled with a faint aura of vital energy.
Powerful formations were deployed across the sky.
Crimson formation patterns rippled in the air.
Beneath the formations, many newly built palaces were smeared with fresh blood.
A scarlet, seductive aura permeated the surroundings of the royal palace.
In the center of the cluster of palaces was a deep crimson blood pool, churning with rich vital energy.
Around the edges of the blood pool, numerous demons from the Celestial Demon domain were constantly throwing in a large quantity of rare heavenly materials and earthly treasures.
At the edge of each palace, many demons were drawing mysterious formations.
The surrounding heaven and earth origin energy, along with the vital energy, formed inscrutable power through the operation of these mysterious formations.
The entire palace complex seemed to have become a giant workshop, with everyone contributing power to the central blood pool.
At the edge of the blood pool.
A figure shrouded in black energy gazed fanatically at the blood pool before him.
The bloody scent and vital energy emanating from the blood pool did not cause the mysterious figure any discomfort; instead, it made him feel extremely intoxicated.
Beside the mysterious figure, several other Great Sages from the Celestial Demon domain also looked on with fervent anticipation.
They had expended so much effort and heart, and finally, the blood pool was constructed. The Blood Demon Grand Sacrifice formation in the sky was also ready.
Next, as long as they absorbed enough vital energy, the Blood Demon Grand Sacrifice could be initiated.
And their goal would be achieved.
"Sir, can this Blood Demon Heart, formed by the Blood Demon Grand Sacrifice, truly help us break through to the Supreme level?" the nearby Great Sage Feiyun asked fervently.
The other two Great Sages also looked at the mysterious figure beside them.
They had been stuck at the ninth level of the Great Sage realm for over a thousand years, with no progress.
Their hearts had long grown numb.
Now, there was an opportunity for breakthrough.
It was undoubtedly something they would pour everything into.
The mysterious figure smiled slightly, emitting a low chuckle.
"Of course, I have sworn a Heavenly Dao oath. And with my strength, do I need to deceive you?" the mysterious figure replied.
Around the blood pool, many demons continued to throw various heavenly materials and earthly treasures into it.
In addition to a wide variety of precious items, there was also the vital essence blood of many demons from various races in the Celestial Demon domain.
As the heavenly materials and essence blood were added, the blood pool continuously erupted with surging vital energy.
This vital energy carried a profoundly mystical power, exuding a strange allure.
"Whoosh!!!"
At this moment, a ripple appeared in the void, and a cluster of bloody red light emerged from the void.
It directly entered the mysterious figure's mind.
The mysterious figure's expression immediately turned serious, followed by a cold smile.
"You all continue to watch the blood pool and the Blood Demon Grand Sacrifice. I have something to attend to and will leave for a while. Remember, do not let anyone approach this blood pool!" the mysterious figure commanded sternly.
With that, the mysterious figure tore through space and departed.
