Duan Gujin returned to the area beneath the gigantic statue, he looked around and quickly found the Flying Knife he had previously thrown.

"Great! I've finally gotten my Flying Knife back!"

He was overjoyed in his heart and thought about leaving the place.

Suddenly, he heard a gurgling sound coming from the bottom of the lake.

He frowned slightly; the sound reminded him of the noises made by the Blood Snakes when they emerged from the Blood Lake.

He didn't want to stay in one place; he just wanted to leave this place as quickly as possible.

He was very clear about the considerable difference in strength between him and those Blood Snakes, and since they were in groups, defeating them would be quite difficult.

Therefore, he would not take risks lightly.

Then, an incredibly brilliant light shot up from the bottom of the Blood Lake, illuminating the entire lake.

Duan Gujin frowned deeply, his mind shifted, and he was about to use the Heavenly Demon Nine Steps to quickly flee the area.

However, the next moment, he discovered that he was unable to use the Heavenly Demon Nine Steps.

At first, he couldn't believe it and thought he made a mistake in casting.

But after trying twice, he failed both times.

He extended his Divine Sense and quickly found the reason.

It turned out that an unexpected Space Crystal Wall had appeared around the Blood Lake.

"Why is there a Space Crystal Wall here?"

Duan Gujin exhaled a turbid breath and his mind rapidly started working.

After a moment, he had a realization.

"It turns out I forgot that this Blood Lake was originally a part of a huge magic Array! Normally, the Space Crystal Wall generated by this kind of Array shouldn't last very long. I'll wait here for the Space Crystal Wall to disappear."

So, he cautiously watched the area of the Blood Lake where bubbles were emerging, wondering if a group of Blood Snakes would appear next.

However, contrary to Duan Gujin's expectations, next, a huge blood-red stone slowly rose from the middle of the Blood Lake.

"What is that?"

Seeing the huge blood-red stone, his brows furrowed deeply.

His mind stirred, and he quickly took out an Elixir Medicine Bottle containing the Hell Ice Flower from his storage ring, and then he poisoned all the Flying Knives he carried.

Once all the Flying Knives were poisoned, he put the Elixir Medicine Bottle back into his storage ring.

Then, he immediately fired a Flying Knife at the blood-red stone.

Whoosh!

Only a sharp whistling sound was heard, and in almost the blink of an eye, the Flying Knife struck the blood-red stone.

Then, a crisp sound followed.

Duan Gujin's eyes widened as he closely watched the blood-red stone in front of him.

Therefore, he knew though his previously shot Flying Knife hit the stone, it did not penetrate the blood-red stone.

"Why is it like this?"

Duan Gujin sharply inhaled as the scene in front of him seemed utterly bewildering.

After pondering for a while, he suddenly thought of a type of Demon Stone from the Seeking Origin Heavenly Scripture.

"Could it be that this stone I am seeing is the internal Demon Stone of this Gathering Magic Array?"

His eyes flickered, and then he tried to use a Flying Technique to see if he could get closer to the blood-red stone.

In the Seeking Origin Heavenly Scripture, a Demon Stone is a very precious Spiritual Medicine.

It is said to be a Crystal Stone from inside the skull of an Ancient Dragon Demon, containing a lot of Devilish Aura.

This kind of Demon Stone, if obtained by a Demon Cultivator, could be a treasure to aid in cultivation.

If this kind of Demon Stone falls into the hands of the Human Clan, it can be turned into Spiritual Medicine to cure various illnesses and injuries.

Certainly, this Demon Stone still offers substantial benefits.

"I wonder if I can take this Demon Stone with me?"

Duan Gujin immediately became intrigued by the Demon Stone; he extended his Divine Sense, quickly scanning the surroundings, and found no Blood Snakes nearby.

He was overjoyed and used the Flying Technique to approach the Demon Stone.

However, when he was still a few meters away from the Demon Stone, he noticed a Space Crystal Wall obstructing his path.

With a thought, he channeled his Primordial Power into his palms.

Moments later, he struck the Demon Stone with a palm.

With a loud boom, the Blood Lake below was quickly disturbed, stirring some weaker Blood Snakes.

These snakes emerged from beneath the Blood Lake, each with eyes fixed intently on Duan Gujin.

However, they did not launch an attack on Duan Gujin.

Initially, Duan Gujin was slightly startled when he saw those Blood Snakes emerging from the lake.

But as soon as his Divine Sense Inspection revealed that the Blood Snakes only possessed the strength of the Martial Master Realm, he no longer considered them a threat.

In his opinion, the Blood Snakes that just emerged from the bottom of the lake were nothing to fear.

Even if they attacked him, he would not need to flee in a disgraceful manner.

Duan Gujin was still in a state of Soul Sea Clarity, and his Divine Sense was projected outward, allowing him to clearly observe everything within a radius of one kilometer.

He took a deep breath and continued to punch fiercely toward the Demon Stone in front of him.

The punch he delivered now was truly powerful; a Human Warrior of the same realm standing in front of him would undoubtedly be pulverized.

However, Duan Gujin was shocked to find that he couldn't shatter the Space Crystal Wall emitted by the Demon Stone.

His fierce punch was blocked by the Space Crystal Wall.

"Such a strong Space Crystal Wall!"

His senses flickered, and he speculated that the powerful Space Crystal Wall must be related to the Gathering Magic Array.

He further extended his Divine Sense, closely inspecting all movements in the vicinity.

After a while, he noticed that the statues were emitting faint glows.

"I understand now; the Space Crystal Wall is so strong likely due to those statues. I should destroy the statues, perhaps once I do, the Space Crystal Wall will automatically disappear."

Thinking this, he locked onto a nearby statue with his Divine Sense, then flashed toward it.

A gigantic fist, conjured from Primordial Power, appeared in front of Duan Gujin and then slammed into the targeted statue.

A loud crash ensued, and upon closer inspection, Duan Gujin noticed that although the statue had not broken, it had developed several cracks.

"It seems these statues are not indestructible after all!"

Duan Gujin let out a sigh of relief, feeling slightly more relaxed.

He took another deep breath and continued to hammer the targeted statue with another heavy punch.

Seeing that his repeated punches failed to destroy the statue, Duan Gujin continued his assault.

The booming sounds were incessant.

Despite the statue's formidable resilience, under Duan Gujin's vigorous attack, it eventually could not withstand the onslaught and burst apart with a loud crash.

Seeing the statue shatter into pieces, Duan Gujin sighed with relief.

He projected his Divine Sense outward again, closely examining the body of the statue and noticed that it no longer emitted a faint glow like before.

Seeing that he had successfully destroyed the statue, Duan Gujin extended his Divine Sense again, inspecting the Space Crystal Wall in front of him.

However, to his disappointment, he did not perceive that the Space Crystal Wall had disappeared.

"It seems I need to continue destroying the other statues!"

Duan Gujin immediately consumed a drop of Ten-thousand-year-old Divine Milk and launched a fierce attack on another statue.

In no time, deafening booming sounds filled the entire area above Blood Lake.

Within thirty breaths' time, Duan Gujin destroyed three Blood Snake Statues.
