Chapter 56: A Bloodbath is needed III

Time was short and the sun would rise in less than 2 hours before sunrise. But Wang Ling was itching to form his Chaos Spark that he didn't care about the time.

He sat down and began cultivating. His body flared up immediately as the accumulated flame essence he had been slowly assimilating in his body started converging inside his energy palace.

Different type of flames converged and a scene of chaos ensued. Flames were tyrannical by nature. For different flame essence be combined like this, it was not going to be easy.

Wang Ling's brows furrowed, his energy palace was surging with heat waves making his body turn red from the intense flames. The flames were converging and colliding, they were fighting for dominance as to who among them was the strongest.

Wang Ling started sweating bullets but he was still calm. He made use of his hellish qi that was also as tyrannical as these flames and so he can suppress them. He also circulated his supreme spirit qi and started bounding the flames into one.

With his supreme spirit qi that can accept any form of qi, he absorbed them into it. The flames retaliated but Wang Ling countered their retaliation with his hellish qi. The suppression coming from the slaughter aura started subduing the flames.

Noticing this, Wang Ling did not dally and began forming the Chaos Spark. The flames formed a giant red ball of flame inside the energy palace. The ball of flame was hot and incinerating. It was couple more times powerful that Lu Lin's Sunset Flame.

But this wasn't the end result Wang Ling wanted. He wanted it to be smaller and more condensed. What he wanted was not a ball of flame that can incinerate everything, but a spark of chaos that came from an unknown era.

Wang Ling began working on the ball of flame and started condensing the ball. He wrapped the ball with his combined supreme spirit qi and hellish qi. With a force that is beyond overbearing and tyrannical. Wang Ling started compressing the ball of flames.

Hong!

Inside his energy palace, the ball of flames was beginning to shrink. Although it was unrelentingly trying to fight against the compression, Wang Ling's special qi were not moving an inch.

While the ball of flame was slowly proceeding without any problems. A hint of his hellish qi suddenly entered the ball of flames. The originally red ball of flames began to change and started to be dyed in the color of his hellish qi.

The originally red color it had changed and became dark, it was dyed in the color of hell. Expecting for everything to go awry and become chaotic, something unexpected happened.

The instant the hellish ball of flames came to be, his cosmic energy palace rumbled and his bloodline boomed. Every hellish qi that was inside his body began pouring into the hellish ball of flames.

Amongst the pouring hellish qi, that unknown qi that came from the rift that appeared inside his body slip into the hellish ball of flame. When this unknown qi slipped into the hellish qi, everything was happening to quickly that Wang Ling didn't have the time to observe every strand of qi that was entering the hellish ball of flame.

As if time suddenly accelerated, the hellish ball of flames shrunk at a rapid pace that made Wang Ling speechless. A mysterious resonance appeared between the forming of the Chaos Spark and the hellish qi that the shrinking of the hellish ball of flame happened instantaneously.

Zoom!

Wang Ling entered his energy palace and there he saw the marble like hellish ball of flames. The ball of flames shrunk so much that it was now comparable to a marble that can easily fit the palms of an adult.

But from the looks of it, the ball of flames is more opt to be called a marble. This the spark of chaos that will bring upon destruction to his enemy. This was the Chaos Spark, well it was supposed to one.

Now that the presence of the hellish qi is apparent, the Chaos Spark is more of a Hellish Spark. He cultivates the True Chaos Flame but it was tainted by the hellish and made it into an entirely different thing.

"Is this a variation of the True Chaos Flame? If so, then what level does this technique fall upon?" Wang Ling asked himself but of course no answer is going to be given. "I'll call this Hell Spark."

Wang Ling shook his head as he realized that there were still a lot of mystery to uncover in the path of cultivation. While he was observing the Hell Spark, Wang Ling noticed that an almost unnoticeable part of the black marble had single part that is white in color.

His brows immediately furrowed as he had no idea where this white qi came from. His hellish qi that took over the Chaos Spark was black, the supreme spirit qi that bound the flames together was golden he had no other type of qi so where did it came from?

Wang Ling was intrigued. But he was also distress by the fact that a foreign qi had somehow made its way inside his body.

But he was slightly put at ease after seeing the white qi was somehow coexisting with hellish qi. There was some kind of resonance between the two differing types of qi.

"Just what is this qi?" Wang Ling questioned himself and was just about to explore this question but he felt that he had no more time. Over an hour had already passed and he now needed to get change.

His physical body was covered in blood and bruises and the back part of his clothes were ripped apart because of him unfurling his wings.

He needed to change and clean himself before coming back to where Fang Guan was taking camp. After confirming the Hell Spark was completed and the mysterious white qi was no threat to him. Wang Ling observed his cultivation and took note that it has improved by a lot.

He was now a peak early-energy palace stage cultivator and was infinitely close to making a breakthrough the next level. Feeling delighted, Wang Ling opened his eyes and saw that the sunrise was coming.

Considering that there was a thirty minutes period of surging pure qi that was going to come. Wang Ling made use of that time and started changing. It wasn't that the pure spirit qi had no use to him anymore. But it has minimal effect on his cultivation.

The surge of pure spirit qi was providing him close to zero percent so Wang Ling had no qualms on ignoring it. The only thing that can help him now was treasures and sacred grounds for cultivation that is dense with qi.

Quality does not matter to Wang Ling as his cosmic energy palace and nine qi pillars refines everything that is impure into supreme spirit qi.

He cleaned himself with a towel he had inside his storage ring and took out a set of fresh clothing. After cleaning every nook and cranny of his body, he was still left with the stench of blood. Making use of his supreme spirit qi, he expelled the stench of blood out of his body.

A refreshing aroma of spring came and Wang Ling who had an awful smell around him changed and started to smell good. His body was left with almost no impurities making his body spotless and clean, the good aroma he had on his body was his natural smell.

Wang Ling went back to camp saw Fang Guan and the others had just finished cultivating. They were getting ready when they saw him coming back from 'training'.

"Brother Wang, it seems like you trained all night long." Fang Guan said with a smile.

Wang Ling just nodded his head before asking him, "Are we heading deeper into the Valley?"

It wasn't Fang Guan who answered by Lu Lin who was standing by the side, "We are. The third prince of the Soaring Wind Empire is not here just to make a fool out of women but also to seize the treasure that is deep within the valley."

Fang Guan nodded his head, "Gale is going to be a problem in us seizing the treasure. Although he is a lustful bastard and also a wasted talent, he is still a direct lineage from an empire that is the same size of Piercing Heaven.

"Getting treasure is not going to be easy, there were five experts behind him last night and those experts are going to be a problem."

Their mission was not only to investigate the strange occurrences in the White Dragon Valley but also to solve the problem. They were sent here by the academy so that they can be tempered.

Various powers also sent some of the members of the younger generation here to be tempered. The goal of this mission was to seize the treasure that is hidden in the valley.

Wang Ling was aware of this because the information regarding the treasure was quite easily obtained through the information broker in the White Dragon Emporium. A power like the Piercing Heaven Academy must be aware of the treasures already.

They had assessed the situation and decided the situation can be taken care of by the students. Also, considering the people of the Soaring Wind Empire also only sent energy palace stage cultivators and no one else, there's a good chance that this occurrence only have energy palace stage cultivators.

Was there some kind of silent agreement between various powers? Wang Ling had no idea. But he will be able to make proper conjectures once he see the other people that had entered the valley.

Aside from Soaring Wind Empire, there were another 4 powers seeking to obtain the treasure. If they are all energy palace stage cultivators, then he was right, if not, then he was wrong.

Wang Ling nodded his head and Fang Guan and other two started heading deeper in to the White Dragon Valley.

===

In the deeper parts of the White Dragon Valley another group of five was targeting the treasure of the Dragon and Phoenix.

All of these people were wearing black and on their left chest was the embroidery of a dragon coiling on a sword. These group of youngsters were the disciples of Dragon Sword Dojo.

They were the first to come here after receiving the mission from their teachers. Amongst the different powerhouses of the continent, they were one of the fastest people to respond.

All of them had a stern but proud looks on their faces as they thought about responding quicker than the other powerhouses. As they were moving, a female disciple noticed a flash of red light.

"Senior Apprentice Brother, I can a red light in front of us." The female disciple said to the man leading them who responded with a nod.

"That's the blood ball of light. The coagulation of the Dragon and Phoenix's blood sure is amazing. It even shines this beautiful in the middle of the day." Another said as a smile appeared on the faces of these students.

They quickly moved and soon found the source of the beautiful red light. As soon as they reached it, they found out that the ball of blood was more than ten meters big. It was a towering figure that made their hearts palpitate.

"We found it!" one of them celebrated.

The leader of the group cautiously approached the ball of blood. He was cautious for anything that might be a trap so he thread the path that leads to the ball of blood carefully.

He soon found himself standing in front of the ball of blood and a smile immediately appeared on his face. The leader stretched his arms forward and touched the ball of blood.

Just before his hands could touch the ball of blood's surface. Something stopped his hands from going on any further. He was surprised and soon found that his entire body was already immobilized.

"What's happening!?" he bellowed and felt something was being sucked away from his body. A strong suction force came from the ball of blood and attempted to suck his blood out of his body.

The other students saw this and tried to approach their leader when they too felt that their body was unable to move.

"What is this?"

"Senior Apprentice Brother, what is happening?"

They all bellowed as they became unable to move.

The leader of the students looked at the ball of blood and felt something stir in his heart.

"This is no treasure, it's a trap!"

The leader bellowed and the strong suction force became even more intense and started absorbing the blood and qi in his body.

Blood started seeping out of the leader's pores and orifices and soon became an empty husk. The other students saw this and they immediately tried to escape. But the binding of the mysterious force was too much, making their struggles futile.

Just like their leader, they too was sucked away and their skin began to shrivel. Their eyes that was tearing became lifeless as they fell on the ground with a thud. The ball of blood trembled slightly and disappeared from that place.

It started heading deeper into the White Dragon Valley. It entered the very depths of the valley and entered a cave there. A crimson screen closed the cave shut and a deep growl came out from inside the cave.
