The scarlet moonlight reflected on the surface of the Xinhan Pond. Li Jiuyuan had nine soul-eating nails pierced through his shoulder blades and was locked in the center of the altar.
"The time has come!"
The great elder's withered hand pressed on his Heavenly Spirit Cap, and he activated the blood refining formation with a sinister smile. Black blood oozed from the pores on Li Jiuyuan's body, and he suddenly heard the sound of the ancient ring in his arms breaking.
"Taotie bloodline? Interesting..."
Hoarse whispers rang out in his consciousness, and the image of a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood flashed before Li Jiuyuan's eyes. In severe pain, he instinctively opened his mouth and bit the great elder's wrist.
"How dare you, evil beast!"
The arm with protruding veins shriveled up at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the elder was horrified to find that the golden elixir was melting. The disciples under the altar screamed and ran away, but they saw a bloody whirlpool emerging around Li Jiuyuan, tearing the nearest three people into pieces.
"Not enough! Not enough!"
Ancestor Xuanming's wild laughter made the pond boil. Li Jiuyuan's right eye turned into a vertical pupil, and his left arm was covered with scales. When the last disciple turned into white bones, he licked the corner of his mouth and looked towards the top of Qingyun Peak - there was more "food" there.
