Jiang Hao had expected Senior Brother Qian Chen’s arrival, but he was surprised that Liu Xingchen was here.

Upon closer inspection, it was clear that this wasn’t the real Liu Xingchen. His aura was blood-red, and he seemed to be using the Blood Pool’s blood water to enhance his cultivation. This was most likely the Blood Demon’s ability.

‘So, the Blood Demon is here to restore itself?’ Jiang Hao guessed.

Even from a distance, he could see that Liu Xingchen’s cultivation realm was improving rapidly. To the three remnant souls, Liu Xingchen was too weak, and they were eager to boost their strength.

“He’s just one step away from Soul Ascension Realm.”

In a short time, Liu Xingchen had ascended from the Golden Core Realm to the Soul Ascension Realm.

“It should be because of the Blood Demon’s method. This man has been possessed by the Blood Demon,” Gu Jin said with a smile. “Both of these individuals are unique… particularly the Blood Demon. He has been here for quite a while and seems very eager to enhance his cultivation realm.”

“Do you think the Blood Demon’s possession has been successful?” Jiang Hao asked.

“This person’s situation is very complex.” Gu Jin thought for a moment. “Not only is he possessed by the Blood Demon, but he also has the dragon and the sorcerer within him. What surprises me is that these three beings coexist in the same body without competing with each other. It’s quite unusual.”

Jiang Hao was amazed by Gu Jin’s insights. “Do you think there’s a chance of survival for someone possessed by these three entities?”

“Why don’t you tell me? Do you want to play a game with me?” Gu Jin asked again.

Before Jiang Hao could refuse, Gu Jin said, “My presence here means that I’m blocking your way. If you want to proceed further, you’ll need to defeat me. We have the same cultivation realm, so we’ll fight on equal terms. If you win, you can continue forward and receive a gift from me. If you lose, you tell me how you came in. How about it?”

Jiang Hao looked at Gu Jin. He could assess Liu Xingchen’s condition on his own.

He needed to find Senior Brother Qian Chen as quickly as possible, and there was no need to waste time here unless Gu Jin could tell him how to reach Senior Brother Qian Chen.

“Is he the one you’re looking for?” Gu Jin asked as he looked toward Senior Brother Qian Chen.

“Is there any way, Senior, that I can get over there?” Jiang Hao asked.

“There’s no way.” Gu Jin shook his head. “At least not here. But if you go deeper, you might be able to use a secret technique to reach different places. Do you know this secret technique?”

“I’d like to learn it. Do I really have to fight with you, Senior?” Jiang Hao asked.

“Of course.” Gu Jin nodded.

“Why do you want to fight me, Senior?” Jiang Hao was curious.

At that moment, a blood-red light emanated from Liu Xingchen as he advanced. Moreover, the blood water in the Blood Pool continued to flow into him. It was uncertain what realm he would ascend to next.

On the other side, Senior Brother Qian Chen had finally arrived at the Blood Pool and was establishing a connection with it.

“Blood Wish Path? That’s quite rare. This is the first time I’ve seen someone using Blood Wish Path to come here. Once integrated, it should be quite remarkable,” Gu Jin said.

He shifted his gaze back to Jiang Hao. “It’s been many years since I’ve seen people, and I don’t think there are people who can enter and leave freely in this place. However, your condition is exceptionally strange, and I think you will be able to leave. So, I want to give you something, but I don’t want to give it to a weakling. So, I want to fight you to see if you’re capable.”

“Why don’t you leave, Senior?” Jiang Hao asked.

“I can’t.” Gu Jin lowered his head and sighed. “This place is a prison, and I am the warden guarding a prisoner.”

“A prisoner?” Jiang Hao was puzzled.

“Yes, my body is the prison. I am the guardian, and the prisoner is the evil within my heart,” Gu Jin said.

Jiang Hao looked at the man before him. “Is there a way you can leave this place?”

“Only if I understand the truth. I need to understand the truth of heaven and earth. What do you think the truth is?” Gu Jin stared at Jiang Hao.

Jiang Hao frowned. At that moment, blood-red light appeared again. It meant that Qian Chen was on the verge of success.

Jiang Hao had no intention of delaying any further. His folding fan transformed into a long knife.

“Senior, please forgive me.”

“Finally decided to make a move? Let me be clear. Although I’ve suppressed my cultivation realm, I’m not an ordinary person in the same realm as you. Don’t claim later that I took advantage of you,” Gu Jin said with a smile.

Jiang Hao lowered his head and swung his long knife.

Boom!

The Half-Moon Blade descended.

Ding!

A crisp sound rang out.

A single finger had blocked the long knife.

“The strike was impressive. I almost couldn’t block it,” Gu Jin said with a smile.

Rumble!

Power surged from that single finger and pushed Jiang Hao back.

However, he wasn’t discouraged.

He was shocked by the power contained within that single finger, as well as Gu Jin’s incomprehensible control over it. This meant that Gu Jin’s cultivation realm was astonishingly high.

Under normal circumstances, it would be impossible to defeat such an opponent.

Jiang Hao sheeted his Half-Moon Blade. The Primordial Heavenly Blade appeared in his hands.

He felt strangely excited. As Smiling San Sheng, it was always a treat to encounter a worthy opponent.

“Senior, get ready.”

He used the third form of the Heavenly Blade, Meteor.

Jiang Hao transformed into a blade of light and charged straight at Gu Jin.

This time, Gu Jin frowned.

If Jiang Hao was a fierce beast before, this time, he was an ancient, powerful creature. He was much stronger than Gu Jin had expected.

Boom!

A single blow sent Gu Jin reeling backward. However, he quickly began to counterattack, and Jiang Hao did the same.

Rumble!

For a moment, the two of them created a storm on the sea of blood. They would disappear and reappear in a blur.

Jiang Hao was surrounded by radiant blade intent, while golden characters revolved around Gu Jin.

The blade light collided with the golden light.

Boom!

The two of them were sent flying, and a purple aura rapidly covered Jiang Hao. He launched another attack.

The Heavenly Blade descended and forced Gu Jin back.

Jiang Hao used the Reappearance of the Hidden Spirit ability.

The majestic aura surged around Jiang Hao and shot forward like a giant wave crashing toward Gu Jin.

He then used the second form of the Heavenly Blade, Mountain Suppression.

The giant wave of energy seemed to contain the weight of ten thousand mountains. The Mountain Sea Seal appeared and blended with the force of ten thousand mountains.

At that moment, the vast force, which was like a tidal wave, swept through the blood mist and shook the surroundings.

The attack targeted Gu Jin.

Gu Jin, who had initially believed he had a chance to win, froze in disbelief.

Was this really someone in the middle stage of the Return to Void Realm?

Boom!

The blade came to a halt right above Gu Jin’s head, and a giant wave surged behind him without end.

“Senior, you’ve lost,” Jiang Hao said.

“I know. You don’t need to remind me.” Gu Jin felt uneasy.

He had originally thought that he could win as long as he put in enough effort.

But who would have thought that he would be defeated after just a few strikes?

“So, will you give me the secret technique now?” Jiang Hao extended his hand.

Gu Jin raised his hand. The words “Gu Jin” appeared in the palm of his hand. Following that, the words floated toward Jiang Hao’s hand.

“I’m giving you this. As long as I remain here, no one will dare to question your identity as Gu Jin. In the Astronomical Academy, only a few people will be above you. Quite interesting, isn’t it?”

Jiang Hao looked surprised.. “What do you mean?
