After the Blood-faced man emerged from the Yin-Yang Grinding, he immediately dove into the spring, like a bloody streak of light piercing into the deep azure spring. In an instant, the spring was dyed bright red.

The azure spring that constantly gushed with spiritual dew turned muddy and stenchful. A burst of red-black pus and blood squirted out, and the originally clear azure spring water became murky at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Almost as soon as the Blood God entered the spring, Tang Luo felt a compelling pressure. The Realm Heart, which hung on the fifth floor of the palace as the sun, released a beam of Divine Light directly to the bottom of the spring. This was the attack the trapping array directed at the spirit — Annihilation Spiritual Light.

This light beam, which could grind spirits, possessed great harm to spirits. Especially to exposed spirits without a physical body, it could be a lethal blow. The penetrating power of the Spiritual Light was extremely strong and could not be resisted by Spiritual Art, making people worry that the Blood God would die directly under this Annihilation Spiritual Light.

As Tang Luo was about to use the Yin-Yang Grinding to absorb the Spiritual Light, he felt a powerful surge of spiritual power erupting from the bottom of the spring. Energy as potent as the Annihilation Spiritual Light was gushing out from the base of the spring.

The giant figure, three meters tall, dodged instantly. Almost at the same time, a red Blood Fiend Divine Light surged up from the bottom of the spring, colliding with the Annihilation Spiritual Light.

The white light column and the bloody light column were equally matched in mid-air, but as the Blood God completed the refining of the spring, the bloody light column gradually gained the upper hand. However, given the tenacity of the Realm Heart, perhaps this Annihilation Divine Light would never fade.

After a good while, the original azure spring had turned into a blood-red one. The Blood-faced man surfaced and said to Tang Luo, “Kid, put me in another spring.”

Tang Luo promptly reached out with his right hand, following the method to collect the Blood-faced man into the Yin-Yang Grinding. He thought that after the Blood God was taken into the Yin-Yang Grinding, the Annihilation Spiritual Light shot out by the Realm Heart would disappear. Unexpectedly, it didn’t. The white and red light columns still stood in a stalemate in mid-air.

With the Yin-Yang Grinding in his hand, Tang Luo came to another spring. He put the Blood God into the spring again. Almost simultaneously, the Realm Heart released another beam of Annihilation Spiritual Light, aiming straight at this new blood spring.

Another Blood Fiend Divine Light was shot from the new spring towards the Realm Heart, the Blood God successfully refined the second spring.

The Blood-faced man surfaced again from the spring, asking Tang Luo to take him to the third spring. However, this time Tang Luo didn’t do as he was told. Instead, he squatted down and laughed, “Blood God, isn’t your way of dividing your spirit into two and even three not just for refining springs, but also for the purpose of killing me?”

The speed at which the Blood God refined the spring was undeniably quick. Yet, if he merely wanted to refine the spring, he didn’t need to leave part of his spirit in it. Although Tang Luo didn’t know much about spirits, he knew that the energy used to resist one Annihilation Spiritual Light and three of them would be drastically different.

Who then was the Blood God wary of, using three times more energy? It could only be him.

Because the Yin-Yang Grinding could extract spirits, the Blood God was afraid of being controlled by him. Therefore, he partitioned his spirit into three. If one were to think about it further, if the Blood God truly wanted to cooperate well with him, why bother partitioning his spirit, it was so much trouble! Therefore, Tang Luo judged that the Blood God’s partitioning of his spirit meant that he was preparing for battle with him.

Combining the Blood God’s angry response when the Demon King’s illusion begged for mercy, saying that once he refined the three springs, he could easily kill him, if Tang Luo didn’t expose him, he would be too foolish.

Once his plan was exposed, the Blood God switched to a fierce face and said, “You think I am as easily fooled as that stupid fox!?”

“Now that I have two springs, with my spirit hidden in them, what can you do to me? Don’t think you can control me with the Divine Grind. Wishful thinking!”

Sly and ruthless, the agreement they had outside the palace was torn up in a second. Tang Luo was genuinely curious – how could this disloyal being become good friends with a Demon King who was so loyal and promise-keeping.

The sudden change of heart on the part of the enemy was truly enlightening for Tang Luo regarding its stupidity. He just could not understand how a demon that has existed for thousands of years could be so brainless.

He pointed at the Divine Light emanating from the Realm Heart and said to the blood-faced creature in a helpless tone, “Could you please use your brain, mighty Blood God? If I disrupt your Blood Fiend Divine Light using the Yin-Yang Grinding and the Primordial Energy Arrow, do you really think you can escape the obliteration of the Spiritual Light unscathed?”

Did he think that having two spirit springs somehow made him invincible against Tang Luo? Who gave him the courage to threaten him, was it Ningxia’s Liang Jingru?

The previously arrogant blood-faced creature suddenly stiffened. The Blood God at this moment realized that unless there were a hundred spirit springs in the five layers of the underground palace, he wouldn’t be able to escape the death trap as Tang Luo had explained.

Seeing the look of stupefaction on the blood-faced creature’s face, Tang Luo knew he had come to his senses. He didn’t plan on belaboring the point and, leaning on his chin, casually said, “So, mighty Blood God, would you please cooperate with me and stop causing trouble? My time is precious!”

The sooner he got out of the Minor Spiritual Realm, the sooner he could practice. After initial dealings seemed settled, this one kept trying to steal the show. Tang Luo thought to himself that the Demon King having such an ally was quite unlucky indeed.

Tang Luo’s disdainful attitude made the blood-faced creature quiver with rendered lips, “Respect to the Ancestor! How dare a human brat of the Human Race disrespect the mighty Blood God! Even if I have to die with you, I won’t allow you to insult me!”

The Blood God, now enraged and irrational, launched an attack with the will to perish together, sending streaks of Blood-Fiend Divine Light at Tang Luo from both blood springs.

Tang Luo covered his face with his left hand, while he used his right hand to activate the Yin-Yang Grinding. The black-and-white vortex absorbed all the Blood Fiend Divine Light that was directed at him.

This ancient monster, quick-tempered and easy to infuriate, had a heart as fragile and sensitive as glass, and so dull-witted, it gave him a refreshing sense of frustration.

What could I do! I’m also very despairing here!

Having realized the stupidity of the Blood God, Tang Luo decisively adopted a childish tone and method.

“I apologize, mighty Blood God! I shouldn’t have been disrespectful. Could you please stop your spellcasting and let’s cooperate?” Tang Luo didn’t attack with the Primordial Energy Arrow, and only focused on defensive actions using the Yin-Yang Grinding. He pacified the Blood God while protecting himself from the Blood Fiend Divine Light.

“No!” the blood-faced creature indignantly said: “The mighty Blood God will not accept threats. I shall perish with you!”

The black-and-white vortex grew even larger, absorbing the Blood Fiend Divine Light, causing it to be so large that Tang Luo blocked all around him even without moving. He urged again: “Mighty Blood God, you’ve misunderstood me. I wouldn’t dare threaten you. This is simply a plea for help. If you purify the spirit springs and contaminate the soil, your divine might can be somewhat restored. I mean you no harm.”

Having seen that his most powerful Blood Fiend Divine Light had no effect on Tang Luo, the blood-faced creature was so angry, he tasted bitterness and grudgingly stopped his casting.

Tang Luo, seeing the Blood Fiend Divine Light no longer ebbing, flattered him: “Mighty Blood God is invincible, I almost couldn’t resist your power.”

In life, it’s inevitable to deal with stupidity, and you have to learn to bow down to it.

Not because stupidity is superior, but because battling with it until one is battered and bruised only makes oneself more foolish..
