Chapter 497. Blood God Sea Region (Location), Kalo Demon Isle (Location)

"Senior, why would you say such a thing?"

Eldrin couldn't help but frown upon hearing this.

Celestia, Queen of Spirits (Person Name) shook her head and continued, "Over these years, I have contemplated numerous times reclaiming Qingxu Island to assist Yun Shu in restoring the legacy of Qingxu Sect."

"However, the Green Void Isle is currently occupied by the Twin Kalo Demons (Demon Beast) from the Outer Realm Demons, and protected by the Spirit Mountain Grand Formation. There's absolutely nothing I can do..."

As she spoke in her gentle, unhurried manner, Eldrin's expression grew increasingly grave.

According to Celestia, Queen of Spirits (Person Name), the Twin Kalo Demons (Demon Beast) on Qingxu Island were exceptionally troublesome to deal with.

The Twin Kalo Demons (Demon Beast) were a breed of extraterrestrial fiends, born as twin siblings with an innate psychic connection and seamless coordination.

Although the 2 Twin Kalo Demons (Demon Beast) possessed cultivation bases merely at the Nascent Soul, Early Stage (Cultivation Realm), their combined strength forced the Nascent Soul, Mid Stage (Cultivation Realm) Qingxu Sect Master into a bloody battle that ended in his demise.

Moreover, with the protection of the Verdant Void Island's mountain-guarding formation, even a powerful True Lord at the late Nascent Soul stage might not be able to breach it.

However, the formation issue wasn't particularly concerning. Eldrin spoke up, "I possess the legacy secret art for controlling Greenvoid Island's formation. If they're still using the Greenvoid Sect's formation, I can turn it to our advantage."

"This makes things much easier."

Hearing this, Celestia, Queen of Spirits (Person Name) replied with a hint of delight, "Though the Twin Kalo Demons (Demon Beast) possess formidable strength when united, most of the extraterrestrial demons' soul-essence has been corroded by the power of the Demon God. They wander in befuddled ignorance, unaware of the celestial workings."

They could barely maintain their own clarity of mind, let alone restore the Mountain Protection Array.

At this point, Celestia, Queen of Spirits (Person Name) added, "Please wait here a moment."

After she finished speaking, she turned and left the great hall. Moments later, she returned with a treasure box and handed it to the 2 of them.

Eldrin opened it to find a cyan treasure talisman. Though its radiance was now restrained, it faintly contained a power akin to raging tidal waves.

Noticing his astonishment, Celestia, Queen of Spirits explained, "The Twin Kalo Demons possess a joint combat technique known as the Kalo Soul-Seizing Art. When they unleash it in unison, it holds power sufficient to severely injure—or even slay—a True Lord at the Nascent Soul, Mid Stage."

"Given your cultivation level and methods, I fear you would struggle to withstand it. This treasure talisman should lend you a helping hand."

As she spoke, Eldrin came to understand the origins of this precious talisman.

This treasure talisman, named the Cyan Jade Celestial Guardian Talisman (Magic Treasure), was a mid-grade fifth-tier defensive treasure. Once activated, it would conjure a cyan celestial barrier to protect its user, capable of withstanding a full-force strike from a Nascent Soul, Mid Stage (Cultivation Realm) cultivator.

Moreover, this treasure can still be used 3 more times. Even for a Nascent Soul True Monarch, it represents an exceptionally precious foundation.

Considering the immense value of this Cyan Jade Celestial Talisman, Eldrin did not immediately accept it. Instead, he inquired, "The worth of this treasure is likely beyond measure. Since you’re willing to bestow such an artifact, Esteemed True Monarch, might I ask what you require in return?"

"You're quite clever."

Celestia, Queen of Spirits (Person Name) smiled naturally and said, "Yun Shu and I have been friends for nearly a 1000 years. If you succeed in reclaiming the legacy of Qingxu Island, I ask that you return all of Yun Shu's soul-bound treasures, divine abilities, and cultivation techniques to me."

"Alas, the vicinity of my Sky Spirit Island is plagued by numerous demons and monsters, making it difficult for me to extricate myself in a short time. Otherwise, I would have wished to accompany you on this journey personally."

"I see." Eldrin nodded and said, "I can agree to this matter."

After reaching an agreement, the 2 took the treasure talismans and departed from the grand hall.

Before departing, Lyra glanced back at the great hall, her brow slightly furrowed as she remarked, "This Celestia, Queen of Spirits isn't far from reaching Nascent Soul, Mid Stage. Had she joined forces with us, our chances would have increased significantly. A pity she seems unwilling to take action herself."

"This was within expectations."

Eldrin spoke with an air of nonchalance, shaking his head. "The method and token to control the Azure Void Island’s formation are in my possession. Given that she barely knows us, she naturally wouldn’t dare to venture inside recklessly."

However, the situation in the Eastern Sea cultivation realm is extremely dire, and human cultivators there are far more united than in the Eastern Wastelands (Location). That is why she was willing to bring out her treasured reserves to lend us a hand.

Hearing this, Lyra nodded and said no more.

The 2 returned to their cave abode. After recuperating for over a month, they resumed their journey toward the direction of Kalo Demon Isle (Location).

After the fall of Greenvoid Isle nearly 6 100 years ago, it was occupied by the Twin Kalo Demons (Demon Beast). Now, 6 fleeting centuries later, it has long been renamed Kalo Demon Isle (Location) with the updating of maps.

It was precisely for this reason that Eldrin had not been able to locate the position of Qingxu Island on the map before.

At this moment, having confirmed the location of Kalo Demon Isle (Location), the 2 discovered it lay deep within the remote sea cultivation realm, separated from Tianling Island by an immeasurable expanse of ocean.

They traveled continuously via teleportation arrays, and after crossing a vast expanse of sea, they emerged from 1 such array on this day.

Stepping out of the teleportation array, Eldrin glanced at the map in his hand before fixing his gaze upon the vast ocean in the distance. With a grave expression, he declared, "We have arrived at the Island of Suppressing Demons. Beyond lies the Blood God Sea Region."

Nearly 5 100 and 70 years ago, during the Abyssal Cataclysm, the human race suffered what could be described as an incomparably devastating loss. Vast stretches of sea territories fell into ruin, seized by the Otherworldly Demons and demonic cultivators who seized the opportunity.

To the east of Demon-Suppressing Island, the Blood God Sea Region (Location) is now entirely occupied by Outer Realm Demons and demonic cultivators.

The Blood God Sea Region (Location) was home to 30-7 fifth-grade spirit islands, occupied by over a 100 demonic cultivators at the Nascent Soul level. Among these, the Kalo Demon Isle (Location) stood as 1 of the 30-7 fifth-grade spirit islands.

Gazing at the sea before him, Eldrin spoke with a grave expression: "The Blood God Sea Region is perilous beyond measure. Though it holds ruins of countless human sects and celestial clans, even seasoned Nascent Soul Realm masters dare not venture in lightly."

"Fortunately, Green Void Island was destroyed only nearly 6 100 years ago and lies in the outer reaches of Blood God Sea Region (Location). If we strike swiftly, we should be able to escape before the demonic cultivators react."

Lyra also nodded. After a moment of contemplative silence, she pointed at the spirit island at the heart of Blood God Sea Region on the map and said, "The core of Blood God Sea Region is this Blood God Island."

The Blood God Island was situated at the source of the ocean, 1 of the primordial water veins of the Eastern Sea. 3 1000 years ago, it had once been the territory of the Ji Clan.

"However, after the Ji Clan's Dao Lord perished, they migrated into the Eastern Wastelands. Now, this ancestral water vein is occupied by the Blood God Ancestor. Should my cousin succeed in breaking through to the Nascent Soul realm in the future, he will likely have to confront this demon in a decisive battle."

"You and I must enter with utmost caution."

Eldrin furrowed his brow slightly upon hearing this, committing Lyra's words to memory. He then added, "The Blood God Sea Region spans several times wider than the vast marshlands, stretching across countless hundreds of millions of miles."

"Kalo Demon Isle (Location) only spans 20 million li in its outer periphery. If we proceed with caution, given our cultivation level, we shouldn't encounter too much danger."

Lyra also nodded in agreement. They possessed the Mirror of Yin, Yang, and Void, which could transport them 1 100 1000 miles through the void at critical moments. Their life-preserving abilities surpassed even those of many Eldrin True Monarchs—this was their greatest confidence in daring to come here.
