Chapter 221: Turning Tides
The speed of a four meridian Foundation Establishment Cultivator on his flying sword was astonishing once he released his spirit energy .
The wind howled in his ears as the blood-robed youth rode his white bone staff, chasing after Su Zimo who was running away in the distance .
A few seconds later, the blood-robed youth realized to his shock that despite his terrifying speed, he could not catch up to Su Zimo who was sprinting on the ground!
Even if he used all his strength, it was useless .
At most, he could only ensure that Su Zimo could not shake him off .
“This guy’s physique is actually so strong that he possesses such burst power?”
The blood-robed youth’s evaluation of Su Zimo was already very high .
But now, he realized that he had still underestimated this person .
Right then, Yu Fei’s voice rang out . “That lad’s bloodline is extremely strong and he’s already at the legendary tsunami blood state . His physique and bloodline is not weaker than ancient remnant beasts . In fact, it’s even comparable to pure-blooded ferocious beasts!”
As a Golden Core spirit demon, Yu Fei’s gaze was naturally brilliant .
At that moment, he traveled through the skies with hands behind his back, following after the blood-robed youth with a relaxed expression .
“Yu Fei, take me along to chase after him!”
Seeing that he was unable to catch up to Su Zimo, the blood-robed youth was indignant as he said with a darkened expression and cold gaze .
“Alright . ”
Yu Fei agreed to it casually .
In midair, Yu Fei’s body changed constantly; it was contorting, shrinking in some places twisted in others as his bones and tendons rang out with the sound of beans being fried .
In the blink of an eye, Yu Fei had transformed into a gigantic blood-eyed crow!
The blood-robed youth understood what it implied and with a single leap, hopped onto the blood crow that Yu Fei had transformed into .
Although he was carrying someone, Yu Fei’s speed increased rapidly and his body almost turned into a stream of light .

“So fast?”
Su Zimo turned back and was secretly alarmed .
The speed of a Golden Core spirit demon was way faster than he was!
Carrying the blood-robed youth, Yu Fei descended in front of Su Zimo before long, blocking his path forward!
With a spin, Yu Fei returned to his human form and followed behind the blood-robed youth indifferently .
“Fufufu, you can’t escape!”
Looking at Su Zimo who was speeding over with no intention of slowing down, the blood-robed youth scoffed coldly . He waved the white bone staff in his left hand and muttered a mysterious incantation .
After his incantation, five pitch black skulls flew out from the white bone staff, splitting in five different directions before striking at Su Zimo .
“Ah! Ah!”
Before they arrived, the five skulls let out blood-red rays of light from their sockets while crying sinisterly .
“Oh?”
Upon seeing that, Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat .
That technique seemed to have exceeded the limits of spirit arts . Those five skulls were even emitting a terrifyingly baneful aura!
How much blood and how many lives did it take for something so evil to be created?
Su Zimo collected himself quickly, his gaze icy and his expression unchanged .
The situation in front of him was clear – even if he were to retreat, it would be difficult to escape death .
If he chose to fight head on, he might have a chance of dragging someone down with him!
In the blink of an eye, the five skulls landed on Su Zimo’s body, chomping down with wide open mouths!
“Boom!”
With a loud bang, the sound of tsunami and thunder could be heard from Su Zimo’s body!
Blinding lightning shone from Su Zimo’s body in a terrifying manner!
The pitch black skulls were merely slightly blocked by the lightning, lessening the evil aura that they emitted . Suddenly, they broke through the lightning barrier and bit Su Zimo’s flesh!
How strong was Su Zimo’s body?
With Body Petrification, even a middle-grade flying sword would not be able to hurt him .

However, those five skulls managed to tear through Su Zimo’s skin the moment they bit down!
Sucking continuously, the skulls gulped down excitedly on Su Zimo’s blood essence as the red glow in their eyes intensified – it was as though they were gaining a life of their own!
“If you want to eat, I’ll let you have your fill!”
Right then, Su Zimo bellowed all of a sudden . No longer suppressing the demonic qi in his body, he released everything alongside his surging bloodline!
That was the power of blood qi!
It was even stronger than the power of blood alone!
At that moment, demonic qi swirled around Su Zimo as his bloodline rumbled, causing his body to expand . His eyes revealed an endless chill in them, looking massive as if an ancient demon with a fervent killing intent had possessed him .
Naturally, most cultivators could detect the appearance of demonic qi .
However, Su Zimo was far away from the battlefield at the moment – he was almost at the boundaries of Dongling Valley .
Given that distance, the cultivators that were stuck in the battlefield could not sense the demonic qi that was coming forth from Su Zimo .
Furthermore, they did have have the attention nor energy to do so .
As for the blood-robed youth opposite Su Zimo, he was shocked as his expression changed .
The difference between him and Su Zimo was too close!
At that distance, Su Zimo was practically an invincible god!
The skulls that were initially sucking Su Zimo’s blood were suddenly repelled by a terrifying power of blood qi .
The tides had turned entirely .
Initially, Su Zimo was disadvantaged and could have been turned into a blood slave at any time .
Now, they were in a completely different situation .
The blood-robed youth’s life was hanging on a thread!
Boom!
Su Zimo’s gaze was sharp as a knife . With a roar, he strode forth, causing the ground to tremble violently .
“Hand your life over!”
Su Zimo stretched his arms, grabbing at the blood-robed youth whose face was pale and was retreating endlessly . Su Zimo was trying to use a killing move of The Mystic Classic of the Twelve Demon Kings of the Great Wilderness – Divine Steed Dismemberment!
If he managed to grab the blood-robed youth, the latter would not be able to escape a fate of being torn apart!
From Su Zimo’s point of view, as long as he could drag this blood-robed youth down with him before he died, he would have made a killing .
The blood-robed youth was close to being caught by Su Zimo when suddenly, a figure appeared behind him .
Golden Core spirit demon – Yu Fei!
He was equally surprised when he saw Su Zimo releasing demonic qi .
However, his reaction was extremely fast . Before Su Zimo could do anything, Yu Fei blocked in front of the blood-robed youth and saved the latter from the gates of hell .
Piak! Piak!
Sneering coldly, a hint of mockery flashed in Yu Fei’s eyes as he reached out and grabbed Su Zimo’s wrist .
At the same time, Yu Fei’s chest faintly emitted an even stronger aura that managed to suppress Su Zimo’s blood qi .
Inner Core!
That was his Inner Core!
With his wrists grabbed by Yu Fei, Su Zimo felt weak all over and his eyes dimmed .
“What a pity . ”
He was so close .
If he had a single second more, the blood-robed youth would have died for sure!
Once Su Zimo released his power of blood qi, he was confident that he would be able to kill even a four meridian Foundation Establishment Cultivator!
“Su Zimo, you’re very strong indeed . ”
Yu Fei said coldly, “But with me here today, you won’t be able to hurt Young Master at all!”
This time, Blood Crow Palace’s Lord had specially instructed Yu Fei and Peng Fei to protect the Young Master .
If anything were to happen to him, the Palace Lord would kill the both of them for sure!

Ars Magica
Our vision comes back into focus. Our eyes, while being able to perceive the immediate surroundings, still leave us with our minds uncomprehending towards what is actually occurring. Sure, there are definitive things that we can focus on, like the fact that we're either out upon the open sea or the open ocean, there not being much of a difference with no land in sight, as well as the fact that we appear to be upon a haphazardly constructed metal boat, whose seams are barely able to keep a hold of themselves in the crashing waves. However, that does not let us understand what exactly is causing the waves in the first place. If we were to rewind time, we'd find ourselves upon a calm sea under a peaceful sky with the only difference, being a small whirlpool that would be the precursor towards this uproar around the boat. Lightning flashes in the sky, with no clouds being near, and anyone actually manning the boat has either died towards the cause of the smashing tides in the first place, or are fighting amongst the flashes of lightning, all while trying not to become devoured, demolished, and utterly decimated by the beast roiling in the whirling waves. To better understand exactly what is happening here, there is one singular event that needs to be understood, that needs to be explained, and that is the arrival of a creature named Dave. Stepping back from current events and going towards this creature's first appearance in the world, we begin to hear the sound of water slowly dripping across rocky ground. The cavern is utterly silent except for this one constant, its cause feeding channels downwards, sloping towards cracks in the rubble along the floor from broken stalagmites and stalactites. And there, lying on top of something which had fallen over recently, judging from its cracks, is a person, the creature named Dave. His form is fast asleep, either from the impact or from an intoxication, judging from the smell upon its breath. A bright light suffuses into it for a second, giving life towards the pale skin, before it slowly dies down back to the comfortable black of the cave that it's within. Before this moment in time, Dave did not exist in the physical world. At least, not in the reality that he finds himself born into. We do not know whether or not his existence is simply a cosmic joke, or something that is being played out on purpose. All that we do know, is that one moment, the body was not in the cave, and simply formed in the next. The actual earliest time that we know Dave exists, is the interpolation of the memories of J-209, which we'll begin looking into shortly to gain context towards the coming narrative that is being written and hastily trying to keep itself written. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Warning: This story has several things which might turn its readers away. The first is that this story has shifting points of perspective. Don't worry about that previous sentence too much though, as the main character will always have a first person perspective associated with them. However, any other character from which we're viewing the story from will either be in third-person, as we are not necessarily in their shoes at the moment, or in first person, given that the narrator is an actual physical presence within the story. For the most part, chapters will be self-contained with their perspectives, so there will not be an abundance of switching perspectives within the same chapter. The most that an average reader would have to worry about is the fact that perspectives can switch between chapters. The second thing is that the main character is a bit on the 'special' side of things. He's not exactly mentally there most of the time, so there will be some times that his personality or his thoughts do not actively align with his actions. The third, and final thing of importance, is the fact that past the first couple of chapters, nothing has been planned in advance. There are arcs and plots that I want to do, want to implement, or have already been set into motion from our main character's introduction to the world, but the method that I use for my story writing and generating leads towards a bit more random chance being enabled. Basically...there's a lot of dice rolling behind the scenes. To not complicate the story further than its regular LitRPG elements, the rolls will not be publicly available. However, there will be knowledge within the author's notes on whether or not there were positive or negative critical rolls that had occurred within the chapter. You have been warned. Updates: Mondays & Fridays (Schedule permitting) Typical Chapter Length: (2,000-3,000)
