The Shadow Demon, hearing this, dared not hesitate in the slightest. It let out a low growl, and a dense concentration of dark elements rapidly gathered toward it.

Its aura began to ascend continuously, and in the blink of an eye, it rose from the Emperor Seventh Rank to the Emperor-level Peak.

Some might think that with the strength at the Emperor-level Peak, it could perhaps contend with the Blood God Avatar, whose power had significantly diminished.

The opponent's strength had merely declined but remained an emperor-level terrifying existence. With the Shadow Demon's current power, it might not last more than a few rounds before being slain by the enemy.

The Shadow Demon let out a low growl, surrounded by dense dark elements. With a flicker, it dashed towards the direction of the Teleportation Array, its speed more than doubled compared to before.

Simultaneously, Ying Wenjie also contacted Liu Hong at the first opportunity.

Before Ying Wenjie could speak, Liu Hong took the initiative to inquire, "Hey, what's the situation on your side?"

"I'll explain later, activate the teleportation array in twenty seconds."

"That's not possible. If you can't return in time before the array is activated, wouldn't that mean certain death?"

"Stop talking nonsense, just do as I say, or we'll all die." With that, he decisively hung up the communication.

At this moment, the Blood God Avatar was only a thousand feet away from the Shadow Demon, and at its speed, it would only take ten breaths to catch up.

Time ticked away second by second, and the distance between the Blood God Avatar and the Shadow Demon grew ever closer, reduced from a thousand feet to a hundred feet, while the Shadow Demon still needed at least five more seconds to reach the Teleportation Array.

Ying Wenjie gritted his teeth, reluctantly took out a basketball-sized metal sphere from the Spatial Ring.

This metal sphere was a reinforced version of a Star Core Bomb, its power equivalent to a full-strength strike from a Peak Star Beast. Even an Early-Stage Emperor Level Star Beast would not dare underestimate it.

However, this deadly weapon was extremely precious, and even Ying Wenjie only had one. It was a reward from Long Batian for his extraordinary service.

Two breaths later, the distance between them was reduced to only fifty feet.

Seeing this, Ying Wenjie did not hesitate any further and directly threw the Star Core Bomb at the Blood God Avatar.

Naturally, the opponent saw this scene but paid it no mind and continued to pursue the Shadow Demon.

In its perception, the Star Core Bomb carried no energy, merely a faint trace of soul power fluctuations.

Just as the Blood God Avatar and the Star Core Bomb passed by each other, the Star Core Bomb suddenly exploded.

The terrifying shockwave blasted the Blood God Avatar away, making one side of its body a bloody mess.

It struggled to its feet, let out an angry roar, its eyes turned crimson gold in an instant, its muscles began to wildly expand, and even its aura continuously surged, evidently revealing its trump card.

The Blood God Avatar erupted with force from its four limbs, disappearing from its original spot in an instant, its speed several degrees faster than before.

At this moment, the Shadow Demon was only a few dozen feet away from the Teleportation Array. At its current speed, it needed but a second.

However, the Blood God Avatar was a hundred feet away from the Shadow Demon.

The Teleportation Array lit up with white light, evidently beginning to activate.

Liu Hong, watching the Shadow Demon rushing towards him, hurriedly shouted, "Hurry, there's no time."

The Shadow Demon exerted all its strength to sprint, drawing ever closer to the Teleportation Array.

At this moment, the Blood God Avatar was only thirty or forty feet away from the Shadow Demon. It raised its claw and swung violently, a blood blade over a dozen feet long slashing straight toward the Shadow Demon.

Ying Wenjie, watching the Teleportation Array flashing with white light, gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice, "Do not evade, keep rushing." With that, he took out a palm-sized Golden Shield from the Spatial Ring.

His right palm was placed on the Golden Shield, infusing it with all his soul power.

The palm-sized Golden Shield immediately began to enlarge rapidly, swelling to several feet in size in the blink of an eye, exuding dazzling golden radiance, appearing quite extraordinary.

With a loud "boom," the blood blade slashed directly at the Golden Shield.

The blood blade's power was so terrifying that the Golden Shield began to shake frantically, and its stamina quickly depleted.

Suddenly, the blood blade exploded, and the Golden Shield was instantly flung away.

Seeing this, Ying Wenjie quickly grabbed the Golden Shield, looking at the several cracks that appeared on it, his heart seemed to bleed.

The shockwave from the blood blade's explosion struck the Shadow Demon directly, causing it to spit out a mouthful of blood, but this wave, invisibly, helped it.

The Shadow Demon used the push from the blast to increase its speed by another thirty percent.

Chu Chen and the others, witnessing this scene, turned extremely pale. With the Shadow Demon's power, it couldn't stand even one blow from the opponent. How terrifying was this blood-colored beast's power?

At the moment when the white light reached its peak, the Shadow Demon, carrying Ying Wenjie, rushed into the Teleportation Array.

The Blood God Avatar raised its claw and viciously struck at the Teleportation Array.

"Boom"

The mountain peak shook, the mountain's belly instantly collapsed, and the Teleportation Array was destroyed at the same time. However, Chu Chen and the others were successfully teleported away just as the attack arrived.

The Blood God Avatar watched its disappearing target, letting out an enraged roar with its hoisted head.

At this time, the blood radiance on its body surface slowly dissipated, its aura rapidly declining. After the recent outburst, its internal blood energy had dropped by two more levels.

It perceived the surrounding aura and found that some weaker Star Beasts were not far away.

It didn't hesitate at all and charged directly toward where those Star Beasts were.

Soon, a series of screams echoed from the forest. The Blood God Avatar wiped the blood off the corner of its mouth, showing dissatisfaction.

The strength of these Star Beasts was too weak; their blood could not compensate for its consumption, and its aura continued to decline.

At this rate, it wouldn't take long before it would fall back into slumber.

It perceived the surroundings again, finding no presence of any Star Beasts. Perhaps they were frightened away by the recent commotion, or maybe there simply weren't any Star Beasts here.

In fact, during the assault on the Blood Demon Hall, the surrounding Star Beasts had already been cleared out. Those powerful Star Beasts had been marked in advance to prevent accidents.

Unexpectedly, this action inadvertently helped them, and at the same time left the Blood God Avatar without a supply of fresh blood.

The Blood God Avatar let out an unwilling roar, then extended its forepaws to dig underground.

It was destined to fall into slumber, but it needed to find a safe location. If it were attacked by other creatures while asleep, its physical body would be completely destroyed, and its soul would also dissipate.

After an unknown amount of time, the Blood God Avatar dug a tunnel leading directly into the mountain's belly, hiding within, forcefully launched a blood radiance, causing the entire tunnel to collapse instantly.

Aside from some evidence of disturbance on the surface, there were no other traces left. It wouldn't be long before this place would be taken over by weeds once more, and the traces of its hiding would vanish completely.

At this moment, in the secret chamber of the Celestial Dragon Training Camp, white light flicked, followed by several figures appearing inside the chamber.

"Cough, cough, cough"

A fit of violent coughing emerged from the chamber. Seeing this, Liu Hong asked nervously, "Wen Jie, how are you?"

Ying Wenjie's face was pale; he weakly waved his hand, saying, "It's nothing." With that, he took out two Healing Pills from the Spatial Ring.

He placed one into his mouth while giving the other to the Shadow Demon.

Ying Wenjie was injured just by the aftermath of the Blood God Avatar, despite being under the Shadow Demon's protection.

The Shadow Demon's injuries were even more severe; the Healing Pill could only temporarily suppress the injuries. He had to return to the Daoist School to fully heal the Shadow Demon.

Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and directly said, "Activate the teleportation array to the Daoist School, I need to go back to heal the Shadow Demon."

Hearing this, Liu Hong quickly stopped, "That's not right; you're injured, and ongoing teleportation will only worsen your injuries. Wouldn't it be better to refine the Healing Pill first before returning to the Daoist School? Besides, the Shadow Demon's injuries aren't critical for the moment, there's no need to rush."

Ying Wenjie pondered this briefly before nodding, "Fair enough, let's wait."

Upon hearing this, Liu Hong felt relieved; he waved to Chu Chen and the others, "Alright, you may go back first. Later, I'll analyze and correct your performance in this battle."

The others nodded promptly at his words, said farewell, and immediately returned to their quarters.

After they left, Liu Hong finally led Ying Wenjie to the Cultivation Room to let him safely refine the medicinal power.
