After a while, the Blood Snake transformed into the appearance of a woman.

She then struggled to free herself from the snake skin binding her.

Once she wriggled out of the snake skin, she plunged directly into the Blood Lake.

Seeing this, Duan Gujin took a sharp intake of breath, his eyes flickering as he pondered what the Blood Snake had just been doing.

A moment later, he thought of a possibility.

"I understand now, there must be a Blood Snake here about to ascend to Demon Saint!"

Duan Gujin concealed his life aura and stealthily made his way towards the giant statue.

After a while, he finally got within thirty meters of the giant statue.

At this point, he had reached the edge of the Blood Lake.

If he continued forward, he would have to cross the bloody waters of the Blood Lake.

He assessed that if he truly crossed the bloody waters, the remaining two giant Blood Snakes would detect his presence.

Instead of acting rashly, he stayed hidden in the shadows, his eyes wide open, carefully observing the two Blood Snakes.

After a while, he discovered that both Blood Snakes had reached the cultivation of the Martial Sect Eighth Layer.

"There's not much time left, I need to act now!"

Duan Gujin was acutely aware of the principle of seizing the fleeting opportunity.

He immediately reached into his storage ring to grab a Flying Knife, then dipped the knife into an Elixir Medicine Bottle containing Hell Ice Flower.

After poisoning the Flying Knife, he took a deep breath and hurled it towards the two Blood Snakes in front.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

A series of rapid breaking sounds disturbed the tranquility of the place, and the two giant Blood Snakes, hearing the rapid noises nearby in the Void, quickly prepared to defend themselves.

Clang clang clang clang!

Although the cultivation of the two Blood Snakes was far beyond Duan Gujin's, their large size meant they couldn't dodge the Flying Knives launched by Duan Gujin.

The Flying Knives launched by Duan Gujin pierced their bodies.

"Hiss hiss!"

The two Blood Snakes emitted a hissing sound that sent shivers down Duan Gujin's spine, causing some delays in his movements.

It turned out that just now, the two Blood Snakes had simultaneously launched their unique Spiritual Attack of the Blood Snakes at Duan Gujin, taking some control over his Divine Soul.

"Oh no!"

Duan Gujin hadn't expected to suddenly be subjected to a Divine Soul Attack from the two Blood Snakes, and in his haste, he had no time to react.

Quickly, he regained control over his Divine Soul and strengthened its defenses. The subsequent Divine Soul Attacks launched by the two Blood Snakes proved ineffective.

Seeing that his Flying Knives had hit the two Blood Snakes' bodies, he judged that they should soon be dead.

The reason they had not died immediately was because of their high cultivation, allowing them to last a bit longer.

As Duan Gujin waited for the two Blood Snakes to die, suddenly, he saw a huge bubble burst forth from the Blood Lake.

Once he saw the bubble appearing, he realized there was a strong possibility that another Blood Snake was emerging.

His Divine Sense locked onto the Spiritual Pearl Demon Fruit ahead, and he kept a close watch on the two Blood Snakes.

Once the two Blood Snakes were dead, he would immediately make his move to seize the Spiritual Pearl Demon Fruit.

But now, the two Blood Snakes were not yet dead, and their terrifying hissing kept Duan Gujin from rushing over.

Splash splash splash!

Then, Duan Gujin saw an exceptionally large Blood Snake burst out of the Blood Lake.

He noticed that the Blood Snake he was now seeing was even larger than the previous three he had encountered.

"It seems this is a Blood Snake of the Martial Emperor Realm!"

Duan Gujin exhaled deeply and immediately shot the remaining Flying Knives towards the newly emerged Blood Snake.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh!

A series of swift whooshing sounds once again filled the air.

Duan Gujin's flying knives, as fast as lightning, rapidly raced towards the Emperor Blood Snake at the Martial Emperor Realm.

At this moment, he noticed a layer of thin ice forming on the bodies of the two blood snakes that he had hit with his poisoned flying knives, judging that they might soon be dead.

He took a deep breath, his body quick as lightning, as he rushed towards the position of the Spiritual Pearl Demon Fruit, locking onto the fruit with his Divine Sense.

"Hiss Hiss!"

Seeing Duan Gujin charge over, both blood snakes immediately launched a fierce attack on his body.

Despite the layer of thin ice on their bodies, they still viciously attacked Duan Gujin.

"Hiss!"

One of the blood snakes, even though its body was encased in ice, still fiercely charged forward towards Duan Gujin.

By the time its internal organs had completely rotted away due to the Hell Ice Flower, it was too late to notice.

Even after it died, its body still charged towards Duan Gujin.

As a result, its body instantly split open.

When the thin ice encasing the snake was torn, its body quickly turned to ashes.

Such was the terrifying power of the Hell Ice Flower!

At the same time, another blood snake met the same fate and turned to ashes along with its previous companion.

After being stabbed by Duan Gujin's flying knives, neither of the snakes retreated but rather launched intense attacks—they were both of the Demon Clan with long snake bodies.

Thus, it was on their bodies that the thin ice broke and their flesh quickly turned to ashes.

This happened almost in a flash of lightning and thunder.

Seeing that the two blood snakes launched a fierce attack at him, Duan Gujin had guessed that their fate would be such.

Thus, he was not at all worried that these two blood snakes could cause him any harm; his speed towards the Spiritual Pearl Demon Fruit was extremely fast.

While charging, his right hand transformed into a blade, splitting the trunk of the tree bearing the Spiritual Pearl Demon Fruit with a surge of Sword Energy.

With a bang, his Sword Energy split the trunk of the Demon Fruit tree into two.

With keen eyes and quick hands, he immediately grabbed the branch with the Spiritual Pearl Demon Fruit, then utilized Heavenly Demon Nine Steps, directly traversing the void to escape from the place.

The Emperor Blood Snake, seeing the two blood snakes turned to ashes, was momentarily stunned.

By the time it reacted, Duan Gujin had already grabbed the branch with the Spiritual Pearl Demon Fruit, using Heavenly Demon Nine Steps to make a Rapid Escape.

From the time Duan Gujin made his move to successfully stealing the Spiritual Pearl Demon Fruit, it was a mere thirty breaths of time.

Seeing the Demon Fruit stolen, the Emperor Blood Snake flew into a rage, its wings trembling as it lifted from the Blood Lake.

It soared into the sky and soon sensed Duan Gujin's presence.

Although Duan Gujin had used Heavenly Demon Nine Steps three times in a row, he had only managed to escape a distance of three kilometers.

At this moment, he was still within the Divine Sense sensing range of the Emperor Blood Snake.

Sensing Duan Gujin's presence, the snake flapped its wings and charged rapidly.

After using Heavenly Demon Nine Steps three times in a row, Duan Gujin's inner Qi became somewhat disordered.

So, he quickly took out an Elixir Medicine Bottle containing Ten-thousand-year-old Divine Milk from his storage ring and took it swiftly.

After a while, he heard the sound of flapping wings from behind.

He soon saw the Emperor Blood Snake charging towards his current location.

Exhaling a breath, he again used the Heavenly Demon Nine Steps to flee the location.

"What incredible speed!"

Duan Gujin's brow slightly furrowed; he hadn't expected the flying speed of the Emperor Blood Snake behind him to be so fast, almost catching up to his Heavenly Demon Nine Steps.

"So it turns out that the blood snake behind me truly has reached the Ninth Level Martial Emperor!"

After a while, he finally sensed how strong exactly the cultivation of the blood snake behind him was.

Thinking about the opponent's formidable strength, his brows tightly knitted together.
