Faced with this sudden change, Ye Kai remained calm, but WIKI had already begun to prepare for the worst. She did not believe that the two individuals before her would willingly give up the treasures they were about to acquire.
After all, if it were her, anyone who dared to obstruct her from obtaining the evolutionary treasure of life would face a relentless confrontation.
Of course, if that obstruction came from a deity or the Lord God, it would be a different matter entirely, for without these two, her existence would be meaningless.
In such a case, living or evolving would no longer hold any significance.
The blue light in her eyes flickered continuously as countless data streams began to flow. At the same time, thousands of Nano Flying Insects and Combat Robots had quietly positioned themselves, ready to respond should an uncontrollable situation arise.
They would unleash their full power, even resorting to self-detonation if faced with an overwhelming threat.
Ye Kai understood WIKI's intentions but remained curious about Zhang Ming. He observed the slight tremor in Zhang Ming's body; clearly, after sustaining severe injuries and losing a significant amount of blood, he was bearing a heavy burden.
A series of grinding sounds echoed as stones rubbed against each other. At that moment, Rory, who was on high alert, suddenly displayed a look of wild joy on his face. However, it quickly faded; although brief, it did not escape the watchful gaze of the Nano Flying Insects.
After several seconds, the red light dimmed, and the blood-filled grooves on the altar suddenly sank. From within, an object resembling a glass vial slowly rose up, filled with a dark red viscous liquid.
As soon as this vial, suspected to contain Eternal Blood, appeared, dozens of Nano Flying Insects rushed forward to seize it and swiftly flew toward WIKI.
Confronted with this unknown substance, WIKI dared not let Ye Kai approach directly. She intended to study it herself first to determine whether it truly possessed properties of immortality before proceeding further.
However, just as the vial was lifted by the Nano Flying Insects, both Rory and Zhang Ming's expressions changed dramatically. They seemed extremely agitated as their magical fluctuations became evident without restraint.
With a sharp sound, something snapped.
Reaching out to take the blood vial, one of his hands began to squirm and transformed into a strange scanner, initiating the preliminary scan.
"This is wrong. Why isn't the True Source of the Demon here? Where could it be?" Rory seemed even more agitated than Zhang Ming, his anger surging as he shouted furiously.
"How could this happen?"
Zhang Ming stared at the dark hole beneath the blood vial, his face pale and his eyes filled with an expression of utter disbelief.
"What’s going on?"
Ye Kai felt a jolt in his mind; he recalled having collected a peculiar light orb. Could that object be the True Source of the Demon?
But how could the True Source of the Demon have traveled so far?
Or perhaps someone had come in and taken it out... No, if someone had obtained the True Source of the Demon, they certainly wouldn’t just leave it suppressed beneath the Spiritual Spring Spring Eye.
Moreover, wasn’t the True Demon a ruler among demons?
That light orb didn’t possess any Demonic Energy or malevolence at all.
Maybe he was mistaken...
Glancing at Rory, who was still in shock and agitation, and at Zhang Ming, who wore a puzzled and contemplative expression, Ye Kai suddenly cleared his throat: "Alright, I think you both know what we need to do next!"
"The True Source of the Demon hasn’t appeared; it’s likely already dissipated. Without the True Source of the Demon to complement it, the Eternal Blood can’t exhibit its longevity properties. Don’t go thinking it’s out of the Three Realms..."
Zhang Ming snapped back to reality first, casually glancing at his now-healed hand, a bitter smile tugging at his lips: "The Eternal Blood now only has the ability to extend lifespan; ten thousand years of lifespan can be considered a type of Treasure."
"What exactly is Eternal Blood?" Ye Kai frowned, his gaze growing increasingly impatient.
"A Half-Immortal who has survived the tribulation, also known as a Loose Cultivator, this bottle of Eternal Blood is his own blood!"
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Ming sighed and slowly explained, "The True Demon is on the same level as the Scattered Immortal. Only after surviving the tribulation, when both life and soul have undergone transformation, can the eternal Bloodline suppress the True Source of the Demon."
"That's right!"
At that moment, Rory turned around with an extremely grim expression, his face twisted in a snarl as he spoke, "However, to escape from the Three Realms and attain Great Freedom while also gaining boundless longevity, one must soak and dilute the Eternal Blood with the blood of countless Creatures—preferably over a hundred thousand humans—before adding the True Source of the Demon into it."
"Over a hundred thousand humans?" Ye Kai's eyes gleamed with intrigue as he asked in a low voice.
"Yes! In fact, if possible, it's best to use a million Creatures."
"Only then will this bottle of Eternal Blood belonging to the Scattered Immortal be truly diluted. At the same time, the True Source of the Demon will instinctively absorb the essence of the blood to refine the Demon Body!"
...
After a round of questions and answers, Ye Kai finally understood the purpose of the True Source of the Demon and Eternal Blood.
He also realized their true function.
It turned out that they were meant for refining the supreme Immortal-Demon Unity—a Supreme Treasure.
Although there were various taboos involved and an immense quantity of Creatures was required, especially human Bloodline for nurturing, just a hundred thousand human blood would barely suffice; ideally, it should exceed a million...
If anyone else were to obtain this knowledge, even if they understood the Method, it would be nearly impossible to execute.
One must remember that this world is one where immortals and demons coexist. However, empires, kingdoms, and principalities are truly dominant forces; even top-tier Sects would not dare to provoke them lightly.
Otherwise, they would surely face dire consequences or even be completely exterminated.
Just this point alone was enough to restrict ninety-nine percent of the owners tightly.
But who was Ye Kai? As long as he could endure until the divine opened the sealed town, as long as he could enter the System Space, it wouldn't matter if there were millions, even tens of millions or billions; they would be nothing to him.
At worst, he could become a world-destroying demon king, randomly choose a world, and eliminate all humans living in that world.
Of course, there were simpler methods that were more convenient and could impose certain restrictions. For example, in the Biochemical Warrior Cultivation Base, one could obtain uncontaminated, pure blood.
By then, even if problems arose, they would definitely not escape the control of the divine.
As for other Material Treasures, spiritual medicines, and herbs, he truly had more than enough in his possession.
"Since you are so cooperative, then let's go!" Ye Kai suddenly smiled and waved his hand at Rory and Zhang Ming, urging them to leave quickly.
But at that moment, for some reason, Rory's figure suddenly accelerated and vanished from sight. She reappeared next to the woman pinned against the wall by an arrow.
With a swift motion, she reached out her hand and pulled out the arrow with a sharp sound.
"Clang!"
As the metal arrow struck the ground, a strange aura began to spread subtly around them.
