Chapter 337 Sea Heart

After making some preparations, Yuchi stepped onto the first stair step.

As soon as he stepped onto the first step, he suddenly felt the scenery around him change. He turned his head and looked behind him. He could still see Yue Hanjiang behind him, but it seemed to be obscured by a layer of fog.

When he looked around carefully, he could clearly see bloodstains under his feet. Incidentally, these seemed to be fresh blood stains.

Every step was covered in blood. This was a bloody path that led to the sky. The higher one went, the less blood there was.

While Yuchi was in the process of checking things out, a rather ferocious disciple rushed over from one side of the heavenly stairs. This disciple was not carrying a weapon, but he charged forward anyway. Yuchi simply grabbed the disciple's head and crushed it..

It seemed that this sect's members were not human-like.

Instead, they were lizard-like.

Then, he once again turned his attention to the bloodstains under his feet. It seemed that these bloodstains were left behind from those who were killed here.

In terms of numbers, more than 100 people had died here in total.

They should have been sacrificed by Hu Guhai.

It was likely that the most, and the weakest, people had been killed here.

Then...

Yuchi took another step, and killed another disciple.

Followed by another step, and another death.

As Yuchi walked up the heavenly stairs, it was obvious that the number of people who could reach the higher steps was decreasing.

The guardians that appeared at each subsequent step were stronger and more ferocious.

However, this was not a problem for Yuchi, who had already reached the Dao heart realm.

In most cases, aside from the sacrifices, everyone who came here did not have a Dao heart, and was seeking to take ownership of the sea heart and turn it into their Dao heart. Yuchi was not like this.

He moved extremely efficiently, and ascended a step every three seconds, including the time taken to kill the attacking disciples.

He progressed step by step toward the misty peak of the stairs.

24 hours later, the current stair step under Yuchi's feet was mostly white. Ahead, there were a few splotches of bloodstains, but beyond that, it was all white jade.

He was at the final 10%.

He did not stop moving, and maintained his pace, despite the increasing strength and number of enemies.

Two disciples holding short swords finally charged out from Yuchi's blindspot. Lacking consciousness or sentience, their motions were mechanical, based on whatever skills and techniques their previous bodies had mastered and used.

With just a glance from Yuchi, two small flames appeared on their chests, and their bodies were instantly devoured by the flames.

Then...

Another hour passed.

Yuchi finally arrived at his destination. Facing him was the previous leader of this sect, who was a half-step Dao heart realm cultivator.

However, despite the flashy and dazzling skills it used, it had no effect on Yuchi. Soon, a sword clattered to the ground and disintegrated, and the old sect leader's body turned into a pool of blood.

Yuchi calmly walked into the desolate palace.The interior was dilapidated, and the most eye-catching thing was an old man sitting on a throne with his eyes closed. This old man did not look like a human either, so he was probably this sect's ancestor.

The ancestor's body was completely curled up.

There was a large hole in its chest, and a small fish could be seen swimming slowly inside the hole.

The fish had a flat body, and no eyes or mouth. Its tail was like a peacock's feathers, which were swaying gently.

"It's the sea heart."

Cofuran's voice could be heard next to Yuchi.

He turned and was about to speak, but she quickly followed up.

"I was going to stay, but Hanjiang begged me to follow you. After all, you're her only family in the world, and she doesn't want you to be in any danger."

Yuchi was helpless, but he acknowledged it.

"This is the sea heart condensed by the ancestor's long-cherished wish, which is peace."

"It's a Dao heart that values harmony and fuses with all things to seek the laws of nature. This Dao heart can use nature to a certain extent and resonate with all things. When cultivated to the highest level, one will become the one with nature."

"It will complement your current Deathmatch Dao heart. If you can obtain it, not only will it greatly strengthen the foundation of your Deathmatch Dao heart, but it will also give you the ability to comprehend nature."

Cofuran was in a state of deep thought.

"If you want to absorb this sea heart, it will be extraordinarily difficult."

"The sea heart is good for you, but it doesn't match you."
