Hearing the conversation between the two, Lei Ao's heart sank. He didn't have time to ask about the life seal, instead he grabbed onto Blue Sea Pupil and activated Ghost Steps at full speed, increasing his speed by three times.

His speed was so fast that even space itself trembled. In just a few breaths of time, Lei Ao had already left the others far behind.

When the sickly scholar's figure could be seen, the entire prairie was densely packed with savage beasts. The amount was already indiscernible.

Every single savage beast was massive in size, and the sickly scholar was surrounded like a small ant.

However, this ant had started a massacre in the midst of the savage beasts. Almost every time it attacked, a large number of the savage beasts would fall. Soon, the mountain of corpses in front of them was piled up.

"Those savage beasts are actually all at the Demonic Sound Realm?"

Lei Ao was beyond shocked. Compared to the sickly scholar, the awakening of the Blue Sea Pupil bloodline and the summoning of the Fire God by Nangong Mengjun seemed insignificant.

"There's nothing to be surprised about. In the third form of the Heavenly Demon, he has the power to enter the Immortal Realm."

Lan Hai's voice was tinged with regret.

He continued, "Even if we help him now, we won't be able to help him much. After unlocking the life seal, he will burn away his life source, and even with the Nine Revolving Heart Pill, we won't be able to save him."

"Like you guys said, what is this life seal?" Lei Ao frowned.

"Every race that passed down from the Ancient Era usually has several bloodline forbidden skills left behind, and the price for using these forbidden skills is to burn one's life or one's bloodline."

Bluesea slowly began to explain.

The races that were passed down from ancient times were the underworld clans or sects that many practitioners talk about.

For example, the Buddhist Sect, Heavencraft Pavilion, Mao Shan Sect, Black Ice Valley, Nangong Family …

The reason why they were so powerful was because they were forbidden techniques passed down from their ancestors. Originally, they weren't forbidden techniques, but ever since the world experienced several great destruction, the number of experts became fewer and fewer.

Currently, Qi warriors could not even break into the Immortal Realm. As a result, moves that could be casually used during the Ancient Era became forbidden techniques.

The reason was because they had to cross boundaries to use them. If one could not raise their strength, those below the Immortal Realm would have to pay a huge price to use them. Over time, their battle skills would become forbidden skills.

For those like the sickly scholar's generation, they would have to pay the price if they wanted to use it.

A life form, or even a bloodline!

Regardless of whether it was his life or his bloodline, they were all different from his cultivation. Once he consumed them, it would be very difficult to recover. However, it was not impossible.

If it was just burning one's life or blood, with the help of some spiritual treasure or divine pill, it could still be recovered. For example, the Buddhist Sect's Nine Revolutions Heavenly Heart Pill.

The only things that could not be recovered were Essence, the Essence of life, and the Essence of blood.

Essences were born, and every time they grew into a new stage, their power would increase.

The Origin Energy affected the strength and cultivation base of Qi warriors, and once they lost their Source Energy, their cultivation base would drop and they wouldn't be able to recover.

If they suffered serious or heavy losses, they would die. For example, the current sickly scholar.

In order to prevent disciples from overusing their bloodline inheritance forbidden techniques, underworld clans would usually place a seal of life and bloodline on their disciples.

As long as the seal was not undone, even if one's bloodline was completely burned away, it could still be saved. However, once the seal was undone and the source of life was ignited, then even if one was saved, he would still be a cripple.

What's more, once the source energy began to burn, there was no way to stop it. It could be said that from the beginning, it was a certain death situation.

At this point, Bluesea suddenly became curious, "Although these savage beasts have reached the Demonic Engraved Realm, with the powers of the sickly scholar, the first Heavenly Demon Transformation is already enough to protect himself. The second transition is more than enough for him to get out of danger. There is no need to use the third transformation at all."

"This sickly ghost is not stupid. If it wasn't for the fact that he was a great threat, it would have been impossible for him to undo the life seal."

Shi Mu put away his mischievous smile. He had already thought of the problem. He had been paying attention to the movements of the group of beasts from the very beginning.

When he heard Bluesea mention it, he immediately revealed a solemn expression and said slowly, "Did you notice? These savage beasts are completely different from the ones we've seen before. "

Lei Ao looked at it for a moment, then nodded and replied, "Indeed, it's even more brutal than the previous ones."

"No, I'm not talking about that." He shook his head and said, "Look, no matter how the sickly scholar breaks out of the encirclement, those savage beasts will be able to make up for it in time. Furthermore, there aren't many that have actually died in his hands."

"Self-detonation." Bluesea also noticed this and exclaimed, "As long as these savage beasts rush to the sickly scholar's side, they will self-destruct without hesitation."

"That's right. Even an Immortal Realm cultivator would not be able to withstand an attack as strong as the self-detonation of a devil, let alone one that had burned his life force. He wouldn't be able to hold on for long."

"Strange, only a dying savage beast would choose to self-destruct. However, these savage beasts haven't fought yet."

"This is the reason why the sickly scholar was forced to use the third Heavenly Demon Transformation. If I'm not wrong, these savage beasts already possess intelligence."

After a short pause, he continued, "In other words, there is an intelligent life form commanding them."

Lei Ao was surprised. "How is that possible? Aren't savage beasts completely brainless?"

"That's just a legend. All along, no one who entered the Wilderness have ever met a beast with wisdom. However, they have only never met one."

"Furthermore, in the past ten thousand years, other than the senior who ascended to the Immortal Realm six thousand years ago, no one else has ever set foot in this forbidden area of the Wilderness."

Lan Hai added, "The strength of the Berserkers in the forbidden area is usually at the Demonic Sound Realm, and there must be a Saint realm savage beast amongst them. Otherwise, that senior from back then wouldn't have returned with such heavy injuries."

He smiled bitterly and said, "A mission? Even the sickly scholar was forced to ignite his origin energy, and even in the third form, he was still unable to break through. Just what sort of mission was this? "If you can live, you have to kill the Amitabha."

"No matter what, I have to rescue him first."

Lei Ao saw that the sickly scholar's attacks were no longer as strong as before, even though he had endured multiple explosions from the savage beasts.

"Make your move. I'll seal off the movements of the savage beasts, and the two of you will open up a path for me and save the others."

After Bluesea finished speaking, the cold aura around his body surged. Against these beasts that seemed to possess intelligence, even she had no choice but to use the inherited power of her bloodline.

Not sparing Lei Ao and Lei Ao's attacks, they pounced into the herd of beasts. Not sparing the Demon Fighter Pestle, they smashed away all the savage beasts that were hit, leaving a path for them.

Lei Ao quickly rushed to the sickly scholar's side, grabbed him and flew away.

"Lei Ao? You're alone? " The sickly scholar was somewhat surprised to meet his companion at this time.

"No, other than Zhou Qing and Niu Meng, everyone else is here." Lei Ao replied.

"Then let me go, I won't be able to escape."

The sickly scholar easily shook off Lei Ao and said, "If it were just you alone, perhaps we could use our speed to escape. But you can't bring so many people along."

"How would we know without trying? If you stay, you can only wait to die. " Lei Ao also knew that what the sickly scholar said made sense, but at least it was better than staying and suicide.

"These savage beasts are different from the past. We have entered the true forbidden area of the Wilderness. The most frightening thing here is not the wild beasts, but the barbarians."

"What barbarian?" As soon as Lei Ao entered the battle, a bad omen arose in his heart.

"An intelligent species that can tame savage beasts should be a branch of the human race."

As the two of them spoke, they retreated, returning to the side of Bluesea.

The sickly scholar continued, "These savage beasts have accepted the Barbarian King's order. If they run away, they will chase them relentlessly. Unless they possess absolute speed, we can only eliminate them thoroughly."

Lei Ao immediately rolled his eyes, "What a joke. There are at least ten thousand of these savage beasts, and ten percent of them are in the true qi realm, while the rest are in the devil's coreling realm. If they were to fight, we would be the ones to be killed."

The sickly scholar replied, "Don't worry. I will deal with these savage beasts. You must escape now. You must find him. Maybe he knows something about the barbarians."

"You?"

Everyone was stunned. Could it be that the sickly scholar still had a hidden card up his sleeve? On the other hand, the Misty Lock Tower had existed for no less than other hidden sects. However, no one had been able to figure out its true power.

"Actually, from the moment I entered the Wilderness, I had already felt the omen of death, and it was getting stronger and stronger. If I didn't encounter some fortuitous encounters, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to leave this place alive."

"So you undid the seal of life?" Bluesea said.

"No." The sickly scholar shook his head. "At that moment, I didn't even consider these matters. If I hadn't released the seal, I would have been dismembered by the savage beast."
