Qin Hao's words made Ji Ruxue's body stiffen, and her eyes instantly turned red. What? Just because of a single sentence he had said to her, even though it was so dangerous right now, he was still resolutely going deeper to get the Primordial Dragon Emperor's essence blood?
Ji Ruxue suddenly plunged into Qin Hao's embrace and said to him:
"I don't want it anymore! I don't want the Primordial Dragon Emperor's essence blood anymore. Let's leave together. It's too dangerous here. The difficulty of this trial ground is simply not something we can pass at our cultivation realm. You will be in danger."
Qin Hao pinched Ji Ruxue's cheek, smiled gently, and then looked at Ao Yu on the side: "Take her away!"
Ao Yu's gaze shifted between the two of them. Finally, he sighed helplessly: "I know where I lost. If it were me, I would definitely have left together."
Ao Yu also started to persuade Qin Hao: "Let's leave together. The mutated beasts here are endless, and their numbers are still increasing. Even you won't be able to make it through."
"Cut the damn crap! If you don't leave now, none of us will be leaving!"
Saying this, Qin Hao activated the Nine-Turn Exquisite Pagoda and charged at those mutated beasts again. Seeing this, Ao Yu gritted his teeth and grabbed Ji Ruxue's arm:
"Forget it! Let's go. He might still have a trump card. Our strength is completely not on the same dimension as his. Staying behind will only cause him trouble. Let's get out of here quickly and report the situation here to my royal father."
"I've never heard of the trial ground being like this before. Something unexpected must have happened."
Ji Ruxue was dragged away by Ao Yu, turning her head back with every step. She saw that Qin Hao had already killed his way deep into the beast tide, his entire figure submerged by the horde, making it impossible to see his situation.
"Stop looking and let's leave quickly. The sooner we leave, the sooner he can disengage! He'll be fine. Let's get out quickly so I can tell my royal father about the situation here and have him come to save him."
Ji Ruxue composed herself, activated the Divine Blade of Time, and then ran towards the outside of the trial ground at her fastest speed. Indeed, rather than wasting time here, it was better to go get reinforcements.
......
After sensing the two leaving, Qin Hao finally breathed a sigh of relief. He fully unleashed his physique! All his Extreme Dao Imperial Weapons were brought out.
Although these Extreme Dao Imperial Weapons couldn't compare to the Divine Blade of Time, they still formed a vacuum zone around him, shielding him from the interference of the Primordial Dragon Emperor's aura suppression. It was just that the range of this vacuum zone wasn't as large as that of the Divine Blade of Time.
"The deadweights are gone. Now, I can finally go all out."
Qin Hao prepared to carve out a bloody path straight to the deepest part of the trial ground. He held the Soul-Devouring Banner in one hand and the Grand Void Sword in the other. He stepped on the Reincarnation Seal, had the Nine-Turn Exquisite Pagoda suspended above his head, and carried the Primordial Fortune-Plundering Stele on his back.
Qin Hao took a deep breath, completely ignoring the attacks of the mutated beasts. His physical body was strong anyway, and these beasts weren't enough to hurt him, though being bitten still genuinely hurt.
He abandoned all defense and focused solely on attacking, determined to carve a path to the depths through the siege of these hundreds of thousands of mutated beasts.
Qin Hao swung his sword, but it hit nothing. His body leaned forward half a step due to the momentum. He looked blankly at the scene before him. The hundreds of thousands of mutated beasts seemed to have been erased by an invisible giant hand, completely disappearing the instant he struck.
"Huh? What the hell? I was just getting ready for a big fight, how come they're all gone?"
Qin Hao frowned and spread out his divine sense. There wasn't a single mutated beast around. They hadn't retreated, nor were they hiding; they had completely vanished, as if they had never existed.
Qin Hao tilted his head: "What's going on?"
He shook his head: "Forget it, never mind. I'll just go check out the depths of the trial ground."
Qin Hao kept his Extreme Dao Imperial Weapons active; without them, he wouldn't be able to withstand the Dragon Emperor's pressure. After advancing for about the time it takes an incense stick to burn, his field of vision suddenly opened up.
Qin Hao stopped in his tracks, his pupils shrinking slightly. Before him lay a massive dragon blood pool, spanning a full hundred zhang. The pool wasn't filled with water, but with golden-red blood, so thick it was almost solidified, its surface gleaming with an amber luster.
Every few breaths, the surface of the pool would rise and fall slightly, accompanied by a muffled heartbeat that sounded as if it came from ancient times.
Qin Hao's mouth twitched: "No way, is this all the Dragon Emperor's essence blood? So much! Damn, worthy of being a Dragon Emperor. Even if you squeezed me dry, you couldn't get this much blood out of me."
Wasting no time, Qin Hao took out a storage ring. His storage ring was no ordinary item; the space inside was large enough to fit an entire city, so storing this dragon blood would be more than enough.
"Collect!"
The golden-red dragon blood, like a guided giant dragon, surged and rushed towards Qin Hao's storage ring. The pillar of blood rubbed against the air, emitting a deafening dragon roar.
Qin Hao sighed in admiration. As expected of something left behind by the Primordial Dragon Emperor, even a ball of essence blood could cause such a huge commotion.
Before long, all the dragon blood was stored inside the ring. Qin Hao put the ring away and was about to leave, but right at that moment, the storage ring in his hand suddenly let out an ear-piercing hum.
Qin Hao paused and looked down, only to see dense cracks appearing on the surface of the ring, spreading rapidly like a spider web. The ring itself was trembling violently, burning hot like a piece of iron just pulled from a furnace.
Bang!!!
The storage ring exploded, sending countless fragments flying in all directions. That mass of dragon blood returned to the location of the blood pool.
"You've got to be kidding me. In terms of grade, my storage ring can be considered an immortal artifact, yet it can't even hold this dragon blood?"
Qin Hao shook his head helplessly, though this also indirectly proved the immense power of the Primordial Dragon Emperor's essence blood.
"Do you think I can't take you away like this? Don't waste your energy, Lord Dragon Emperor. Just obediently give me your power."
Qin Hao formed hand seals with both hands. The Nine-Turn Exquisite Pagoda above his head suddenly erupted with brilliant light. The pagoda's body rapidly expanded from the size of a palm, transforming into a hundred-zhang-tall exquisite pagoda in the blink of an eye.
"Collect!"
Qin Hao pointed a finger, and the Nine-Turn Exquisite Pagoda flew into the air, turning upside down to cover that mass of Dragon Emperor's essence blood.
Golden light poured out from the bottom of the pagoda, acting like an invisible cage that enveloped the blood pool within. The essence blood trembled violently, and a hovering dragon-shaped phantom on its surface let out an angry roar, madly ramming against the golden light barrier.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Every collision caused the Nine-Turn Exquisite Pagoda to shake violently. Qin Hao let out a muffled groan, feeling as if a massive mountain was smashing against his divine soul over and over again. He gritted his teeth, his hands desperately maintaining the hand seals, veins bulging on his forehead.
The ramming lasted for a full quarter of an hour before finally subsiding. Qin Hao stored the Nine-Turn Exquisite Pagoda away and let out a long sigh of relief:
"Phew, just the essence blood alone is this terrifying. If this were the true body of the Primordial Dragon Emperor, he would probably flip my Nine-Turn Exquisite Pagoda right over."

grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)

ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
