Chapter 2218: Chapter 2218: Little Lei Devours the Miasma
The monster moved with incredible speed, and in the blink of an eye, it was upon Ye Haochuan, swallowing him whole.
But curiously, Ye Haochuan’s figure disappeared without a trace the moment he entered its mouth.
"Brother Ye, what’s wrong with you?"
In the Minor World, Rui’er was frightened out of her wits when she saw Ye Haochuan appear, lying on the ground with a fierce expression, struggling.
The young man who had been sitting cross-legged next to him quickly stood up at that moment, looking at Ye Haochuan with concern.
"I’m fine!" Ye Haochuan replied with difficulty, then immediately sat down to cultivate without pause.
The peril of this blood-red world was truly beyond his imagination. He clearly hadn’t been exposed much to the Blood Miasma, yet it was already so severe. If he sank even a little further, he feared he would be completely corroded as the guard said.
Fortunately, in the Minor World, he was absolutely safe, with no need to worry about monster attacks, allowing him to detox with his full concentration.
The Manual of Returning to the Origin of Wondrous Flowers was an upgraded version of Longevity Spirit Qi and was also effective in healing. Combined with the gradually dissipating effects of the Spirit-Purifying Detoxification Pill, the Blood Miasma was finally being slowly driven out.
However, the Blood Miasma in the air showed no signs of dispersing. Instead, as if with a mind of its own, it drifted towards Rui’er.
Ye Haochuan was shocked. He could drive out the miasma with the Manual of Returning to the Origin of Wondrous Flowers, but if it entered Rui’er, she would truly be doomed.
In a panic, Ye Haochuan didn’t have time to think. His eyes flashed red, and the Purple Lotus Spirit Flame instantly burst forth, enveloping and burning the blood-red mist.
The Blood Miasma, however, was somehow resistant, not burning at all, and broke through the Purple Lotus Spirit Flame’s encirclement, continuing to assault Rui’er.
Ye Haochuan was anxious but felt helpless.
To his surprise, the young man who had remained silent suddenly opened his mouth and inhaled sharply, directly sucking in the Blood Miasma.
"You..." Ye Haochuan was worried and wanted to ask, but an overwhelming fatigue already swept over him, causing him to lose consciousness.
He didn’t know how much time had passed before he finally woke up, seeing the young man beside him unharmed, he was relieved.
"Brother Ye, what happened outside? You were so scary just now!" Rui’er asked, still trembling.
Poor her, she still didn’t know that Ye Haochuan had brought her to the brink of doom. If Ye Haochuan couldn’t escape this blood-red world, she would be trapped in this Minor World forever.
"I’m fine!" Ye Haochuan gave her a reassuring smile, but then his expression suddenly grew serious.
He was indeed fine now, but he was also trapped here.
The Blood Miasma outside was too tyrannical for him to dare venture out again. Once entangled, it would be a life-threatening situation.
If he desperately escaped and used the Heaven Escape Bead, he might have a chance to flee. But in doing so, how would he find the Poison Widow and thereby locate Jiang Shuying and Fan Qingyin?
"Master, are you worried about the Miasma?" the young man suddenly asked.
Ye Haochuan sighed and nodded.
The young man smiled and said, "Master, there’s no need to worry; just leave the Miasma to me!"
"Leave it to you..." Ye Haochuan looked at him strangely, but his eyes brightened.
This guy had just absorbed a wisp of miasma and was unharmed, suggesting he might have some resistance to it.
In the next moment, Ye Haochuan and the young man appeared together in the blood-red world.
For safety’s sake, Ye Haochuan remained extremely vigilant to ensure that at the first sign of trouble, he could bring himself and the young man back into the Minor World.
When the young man left the Minor World, he suddenly seemed to be under pressure, crying out in pain as his body swelled rapidly.
In an instant, the young man transformed into a demon beast with a body as red as blood, resembling a majestic lion. Golden wings emerged at his sides, flapping up and down, stirring up gusts of wind.
The surrounding Blood Miasma seemed to have encountered a natural enemy, scattering quickly in all directions.
However, this demon beast showed no intention of letting them escape; it opened its mouth and inhaled sharply, sweeping the Blood Miasma into its maw.
Ye Haochuan was still somewhat worried and asked, "Little Lei, are you really okay with doing this?"
The demon beast that had transformed into a young man was undoubtedly Little Lei.
After awakening the Suan Ni bloodline, Little Lei had been focused on his cultivation. After Flower Energy was restored on Earth, his cultivation progressed at a phenomenal rate, having reached the Immortal Transformation Early Stage.
Therefore, when Ye Haochuan came to the Immortal Realm this time, he brought Little Lei with him via the Minor World as a helpmate.
Yet, he hadn’t expected Little Lei to start helping him out of a predicament so soon.
Little Lei seemed relaxed, speaking in human speech: "Master, rest assured, this Miasma is merely mutated Flower Energy. It’s highly toxic to humans but highly beneficial to me."
Seeing Little Lei so at ease, Ye Haochuan finally put his mind at ease.
With Little Lei’s vigorous absorption, the miasma dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye. Little Lei seemed unwilling to waste even a bit, darting left and right to swallow every wisp.
Boom~
The ground trembled slightly as dozens of monstrous heads poked out from the caves, furious at seeing Little Lei’s actions.
To them, the miasma was a natural protective layer, and now that Little Lei had devoured it, how could they not be enraged?
A series of ear-piercing roars arose as dozens of demon beasts with worm-like bodies and monstrous heads charged at Little Lei.
Each of these demon beasts was at least at the Immortal Transformation Late Stage or even Immortal Transformation Peak. Although Little Lei had divine beast blood, he was only at the Immortal Transformation Early Stage, making him no match for them.
"Ten Thousand Swords... Zong Ze!"
At the crucial moment, Ye Haochuan let out a soft call, and countless Light Swords emerged from the ground. Led by the Divine Concealment Sword, they skillfully avoided Little Lei’s position and shredded the other demon beasts into countless fragments, their blood spilling down, painting the already red land an even deeper hue, a terrifying sight.
Mere moments later, wisps of blood-red miasma seeped out from where the blood had soaked into the ground, only to be inhaled by Little Lei, who devoured them entirely.
"So that’s how the miasma comes to be. How eerie and strange!" Seeing this, Ye Haochuan couldn’t help but sigh.
After swallowing countless miasma, Little Lei’s fiery red fur began to darken, and his aura surged continuously at that moment.
"Is he about to break through?" Realizing this, Ye Haochuan hurriedly took Little Lei back to the Minor World for a safe breakthrough.
At that moment, not far from where Ye Haochuan had slain the demon beasts, an Old Woman sitting cross-legged suddenly opened her eyes. Noticing the clearly thinned Blood Miasma around her, she emitted a soft "hmm."
