You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?

"I'm not sure," Lin Yue conveyed through his Divine Thought, "Just protect your disciple well enough, help me shield their senses, and I'll kill the others first."

As he spoke, the ring of fierce flames beneath his feet began to spin wildly once again.

And in an instant, he had vanished from his original spot.

"This is..." Blood Sea Saint Mother couldn't help but express some surprise, "A Semi-Divine Artifact?"

If it were a Divine Artifact, there's no need for the user to understand the principles within the artifact to activate it, much like the Divine Artifact Battle Saber that could greatly amplify attack power beyond an advanced magnitude.

But for a Semi-Divine Artifact, one must understand the principles within to harness its power.

With her keen sight, she could naturally tell that the ring of fire at his feet was clearly a Semi-Divine Artifact.

At this moment, Lin Yue still appeared as a seven-year-old child; his feet on the spinning flames, his figure instantly penetrated all obstacles, appearing at the edge of the Array Barrier.

"Hmm?"

The expression of a Great Cultivator at the edge of the Array Barrier suddenly changed.

At this time, the Blood Sea filled the entire barrier, preventing anyone from extending their Divine Thought to investigate. The Blood Sea was also furiously assailing the barrier, pushing its operation to its limits.

Suddenly, the blazing flames appeared before his eyes, startling him.

"Hmph, the thirty-six Great Cultivators in the barrier are united as one; can you kill me?" the Great Cultivator thought coldly to himself.

"This barrier is quite strong?"

Lin Yue slightly raised his eyebrows, his body abruptly bursting with a cyclone-like immense power, a terrifying oppressive force spreading recklessly.

Chaos Reopening!

Simultaneously, a silver long saber suddenly appeared in his hand, swinging it horizontally!

A vast, surging river of starlight suddenly burst forth, devastatingly sweeping across the Great Cultivator.

"This is... No!"

At this moment, the Great Cultivator instantly recognized who his assailant was, his face turning deathly pale as he hurriedly shouted, "Your Highness! Misunderstanding! It's all a misunderstanding!"

But all sound was drowned out by the surging Blood Sea, with even Divine Thought unable to spread, leaving no one aware of what transpired here.

In just an instant, he was obliterated by the river of starlight.

"The first one," Lin Yue revealed a slight smile.

The union of these thirty or so Great Cultivators in the barrier was indeed difficult to break.

However, the barrier was nearly reaching its limit under the assault of the Blood Sea.

At this moment, using Chaos Reopening and leveraging the power of a Divine Artifact, his saber strike was comparable to that of a real Saint-level powerhouse.

Naturally, he was able to forcefully break through the barrier's protection and kill.

"Next."

The flames spinning wildly under Lin Yue's feet moved, again carrying him through the void within the barrier, appearing in front of another Great Cultivator.

"You are... No!"

...

"Hmm?"

Tian Ku Bodhisattva's expression changed.

Despite the overwhelming Blood Sea blocking all senses, under his descent of Inner Heaven and Earth, he still could perceive the void.

He could sense a being continuously penetrating through the void!

And...

The oppressive power of the Blood Sea was also becoming increasingly strong?

The barrier formed by the thirty-six Great Cultivators using the array was clearly suppressing the Blood Sea Saint Mother, allowing her to use only a portion of her power.

But the suppression on the Blood Sea was diminishing, indicating that someone was killing those Great Cultivators!

"Someone can forcefully break through the barrier and kill?"

Tian Ku Bodhisattva was somewhat incredulous, "Could there be another Saint-level powerhouse? Or does Xiahong Wuyuan have another Semi-Divine Artifact?"

Theoretically, if one could reach the pinnacle among Great Cultivators—Eighth Layer of Tianxia Building—and employ a Semi-Divine Artifact, they could in some aspects be comparable to a Saint-level powerhouse.

He tried to hinder that mysterious person from penetrating the void and continuing to kill, but suppressed by the Blood Sea, he simply couldn't catch up in time.

Even if he forcibly suppressed the void, the other party could still forcefully penetrate, clearly too far beyond his reach.

"Teleportation through the void, comparable to a Saint-level powerhouse in attack and power?"

Tian Ku Bodhisattva felt overwhelmed by the absurdity, "Could he have two Semi-Divine Artifacts? How is that possible? A Great Cultivator, with two Semi-Divine Artifacts?"

A Semi-Divine Artifact requires a Proving powerhouse to expend endless effort and a great amount of treasures to be forged.

Moreover, one must fully understand the principles within a Semi-Divine Artifact to completely activate its power.

A Great Cultivator had happened to obtain two Semi-Divine Artifacts that perfectly matched him?

It was simply unheard of.

Even the defiantly powerful Saints greatly desired Semi-Divine Artifacts that matched them.

As for Divine Artifacts?

He dared not even think about it.

"No good!"

Tian Ku Bodhisattva immediately felt a great sense of crisis. "If he continues to kill this way, the Array Barrier won't be able to suppress the Blood Sea Saint Mother any longer, and the suppression I am under will also grow stronger. Eventually... he could even threaten my life!"

But he was utterly unable to stop this mysterious person who was frenziedly penetrating the void.

So...

"I can only escape..."

Tian Ku Bodhisattva took a deep breath and began to fully mobilize the Power of Inner Heaven and Earth, furiously bombarding the Blood Sea formed by the Blood Sea Saint Mother.

The power of the Blood Sea Saint Mother's incarnation was limited, being rootless water, it naturally couldn't compare to his boundless power of Inner Heaven and Earth. As long as he kept depleting it, although he couldn't save those Great Cultivators in time, he could at least weaken the Blood Sea quickly and break through to escape.

The surging and overwhelming Blood Sea completely submerged the inside of the Barrier, the peaks had already shattered, concealing all movements.

"This..."

Hong Xi was inside an empty bubble, and beyond the bubble was the Blood Sea. She could only sit dumbly inside the bubble.

"It's okay now," a gentle female voice echoed inside the bubble, "Your Highness is eliminating the enemies, after this matter, you can come with me back to the Blood Sea."

"Blood Sea Saint Mother?" Hong Xi was startled.

At that moment, the surrounding surging Blood Sea suddenly contracted and reformed into a beautiful woman in palace attire.

In the sky, only three figures remained.

Tian Ku Bodhisattva.

Prince Xun, driven by greed.

And the child of seven or eight years old within that cluster of firelight.

A faint glow was visible on the surface of Prince Xun's body, which seemed thin, but actually contained an immensely terrifying power.

"Oh?" Blood Sea Saint Mother showed a hint of surprise, "A fragment of Inner Heaven and Earth Power from a Saint?"

If a Saint was willing, they could split off a few fragments of their Inner Heaven and Earth to protect others, closely approaching the protective might of their own actions.

But... the cost was a permanent reduction in their Inner Heaven and Earth.

Such significant costs were unlikely to be paid by Saints.

"It couldn't be a fragment of the Twelfth Prince's Inner Heaven and Earth, could it?" Lin Yue's youthful voice rang out, "Did the Twelfth Prince actually ask other powerful Saints to split fragments of Inner Heaven and Earth to protect you?"

The last time he killed the Commandery Princess of Zangyan, he hadn't seen such protective treasures on her.

Perhaps, because he had killed the Commandery Princess of Zangyan, the Twelfth Prince figured out a way to get such treasures to protect the other children?

However, he had also just discovered the protective Inner Heaven and Earth on the opponent, so he purposely put away the Divine Artifact Battle Saber to prevent the opponent from noticing.

Under the protection of the fragment of Inner Heaven and Earth, it was almost as if they had the protection of a powerful Saint, he truly couldn't harm the opponent.

And moreover... it gave him a new idea.

"Prince Tianxuan..."

Prince Xun, driven by greed, glanced at Lin Yue coldly, turned around, and taking advantage of the fragment still being present, transformed into a ray of light and flew away.

"Thinking of running?" Lin Yue's feet stepped on the blazing flames that spun wildly, and he immediately chased after him,

Leaving only a sentence, "Blood Sea Saint Mother, block Tian Ku Bodhisattva!"

As his voice echoed here, Tian Ku Bodhisattva couldn't help frowning.

He couldn't watch the son of the Twelfth Prince die by the hands of another, otherwise, wouldn't the Twelfth Prince be enraged at him?

But the Blood Sea Saint Mother had already struck towards him with a palm.

"Hold on..."

Tian Ku Bodhisattva couldn't ignore the Blood Sea Saint Mother, only doing his best to resist.

Fortunately, the power of this incarnation of the Blood Sea Saint Mother was also nearly exhausted.

...

"Whoosh!"

Prince Xun, under the protection of Inner Heaven and Earth, transformed into a horrendously fast ray of light, instantly crossing thousands of miles of the sky.

Soon, he would be able to enter the territory of Jingzhou.
