Chapter 406: Chapter 406: The Monster at the Bottom of the Lake, the Lust Witch
Sure enough, just like Skye said, the energy in the blood lake could be absorbed by Johnnie’s Eight Desolations Body-Tempering Art, which helped improve his body.

Right now, his art had only reached the ninth level. According to Terra Lady, when he reached the thirteenth level, he would undergo a big change.

His bones were like white jade, and his blood was like gold.

Johnnie took a deep breath. He still had a long way to go, but if there were more places like this in the ancient battlefield, maybe he could still improve his body a little more.

As his body grew stronger, the blood on the surface no longer hurt him. So he kept going deeper, almost fully submerging his body in the blood.

[Ding, your physical condition has improved. Body strength +1.]

[Ding, your physical condition has improved. Body strength +1.]

…

So, Johnnie kept going deeper into the blood lake, absorbing energy and improving his body. He wanted to see what was special about this lake.

As time passed, he finally reached the bottom. His body was getting stronger quickly.

“Strange, were those all the monsters?” Johnnie thought to himself. He hadn’t seen any other creatures on the way down.

That didn’t make sense. This blood lake was pretty big. Only a few hundred fish monsters? That was too few.

When Johnnie’s feet touched the bottom, he suddenly felt a sharp pain. It felt like his body was being pierced by thousands of tiny needles, tearing through his skin and moving around in his flesh.

This pain made his whole body shake.

Pain!

He looked down and saw that the “bottom” of the lake was actually made of pieces of blood and flesh. Some even had human eyes, staring at him.

Right when Johnnie realized something was wrong, the bottom of the lake suddenly started shaking violently. The blood surged up.

Without hesitation, Johnnie shot straight back toward the surface.

But before he could get far, a red tentacle shot out like lightning and wrapped around his feet, trying to hold him there.

Void Sword flew through the water, and with a flash of light, it cut at the tentacle.

“Boom!” A deep sound echoed from the bottom of the lake. The huge impact made the blood around it surge violently. To everyone’s surprise, the tentacle was completely unharmed!

Johnnie immediately widened his eyes. He looked down and saw the whole bottom of the lake shaking. More and more tentacles appeared, moving quickly toward him.

Illusory Body!

In an instant, Johnnie’s body became transparent. The blood no longer slowed him down, and he quickly escaped from the bottom of the lake.

“Swish!”

Johnnie shot out of the lake and shouted to Seth, Skye, and the others: “Enemy is here!”

In a blink, the young people from the Guardian Village who had been scattered earlier quickly gathered together and formed the protective formation of The Way of Heaven Divine Stele.

Skye also pulled out his massive axe and flew into the air, trying to help Johnnie.

“What’s down there?” Skye yelled.

Johnnie pointed at the churning lake surface. He saw many red tentacles, like giant vines, breaking through the surface and spreading out in all directions.

Then, a huge monster slowly rose from the water.

It was as big as a mountain. It looked like it was made of hundreds of body parts, stitched together. The human limbs sticking out of its skin still had mouths, moving silently.

“Disgusting, what a ugly thing!” Skye couldn’t help but complain.

Johnnie nodded silently. When he saw the monster, he felt sick too.

To be honest, he could even see the eyes on the body parts, still moving and staring at him.

If it was an ordinary person, they would probably go mad just from looking at this.

“Kill! Kill! Kill!”

“Everyone must die!”

“Die! Die! Die!”

Just as Johnnie and Skye were still feeling sick, the mouths on the monster’s skin started moving rapidly, making a loud, ear-splitting noise.

It sounded like thousands of people shouting at the same time—loud, chaotic, and terrifying.

Without hesitation, Johnnie called out a few magical swords and got ready to fight.

In an instant, the tentacles on the monster’s body stretched and moved quickly toward Johnnie and Skye.

A sharp, loud sound filled the air. The blood-colored tentacles came at them like bullets, bringing a strong sense of pressure.

Void Sword Art, Mountain Shatter!

“Boom!”

One of the tentacles was pushed back, but right after that, more and more blood-colored tentacles appeared.

Skye quickly swung his huge axe and hit one of the tentacles. A huge impact followed, with sparks flying everywhere.

A white mark appeared on the tentacle, but Skye’s attack didn’t even manage to break through the monster’s defense!

Seeing this, Johnnie’s eyes narrowed slightly. This monster was much stronger than he had expected—especially its defense. It was way tougher than a Highgod.

“What the heck is this thing? My attacks don’t do anything to it!” Skye shouted, then swung his axe again.

This time, he just used all his strength to push the incoming tentacles away, no longer trying to cut them.

“Kill! Kill! Kill!” The loud shouting came again. The scattered tentacles quickly wrapped around each other, forming a pair of huge arms. Then, the monster slowly stood up from the water.

Its body kept changing. The pieces of bodies moved quickly, and in just a blink, the monster looked completely different, almost like a human warrior.

At this moment, Skye suddenly remembered something and shouted.”Johnnie, I know what this thing is!”

“Come on, let’s get out of here!”

Skye’s face had never looked so serious before. Without hesitation, he put away his huge axe and flew backward.

Johnnie knew Skye wasn’t running away—he quickly put away the other magical swords and kept only Void Sword and Fly with the Controlled Sword.

Seth and the others were a bit further away from the blood lake, and they retreated quickly.

As soon as Johnnie and the others were out of the lake’s area, the huge monster suddenly became furious and tried to chase after them.

But as soon as it moved a little closer to the edge of the lake, its massive body—like a mountain—shook violently, as if it was about to fall apart.

The monster could only slam its body against the lake, sending blood splashing everywhere.

From far away, Johnnie watched this and felt even more curious. He turned to look at Skye.

Skye took a deep breath and finally said.”The Blood Demon-God.”

“This thing is the legendary Blood Demon-God. It’s formed from the leftover souls of powerful people and broken pieces of bodies.”

Skye said that very few people knew the name of the Blood Demon-God, because it was so rare.

Even a battlefield where tens of thousands of people died couldn’t easily create such a thing.

Normally, when people die, their souls go to the afterlife. But when a war is too brutal and a lot of people die in a short time, it can change the environment and trap the souls.

And because the warriors’ hatred and desire to kill were so strong when they died, their trapped souls stayed in a violent state, and slowly changed into something strange.

“Johnnie, we can’t kill this Blood Demon-God right now. The ancient battlefield has too much killing energy. The environment is special. Unless a Divine King-level power shows up, no one can kill the Blood Demon-God.”

Johnnie was a little surprised. He felt that during the fight, the Blood Demon-God had a strong defense, but everything else was just average.

Skye shook his head and explained. “What you saw earlier was just its normal form. When it changed shape, that was when it truly entered battle mode.”

“You mean… before that, it wasn’t taking us seriously at all? It was just playing around like a kid?” Johnnie said slowly.

Skye nodded. He had just realized that staying any longer could be dangerous, so he had made Johnnie retreat for now.

“Too bad.” Skye said, looking at the Blood Demon-God with a little regret. “If we could have killed it, we would have gotten its Blood Demon Essence. If you absorbed it, your body would have gotten a huge boost.”

Johnnie’s eyes lit up. He quickly asked.”The energy from the blood lake almost made my Eight Desolations Body-Tempering Art reach level ten. If I absorbed that Blood Demon Essence, how high could I go?”

Skye thought for a moment before replying.”Probably up to level eleven. The Blood Demon-God is really rare, and right now, we can’t kill it.”

Level eleven?

Johnnie turned around and stared fiercely at the blood lake. His main goal, besides stopping the Star Raiders from taking over the ancient battlefield, was to find any way to improve his Eight Desolations Body-Tempering Art and break through to stage 10.

The Blood Demon Essence was something he had to get.

But the Blood Demon-God was too strong. Once it got serious, it could match a Divine King. And right now, Johnnie had no way to beat it.

After thinking for a while, Johnnie decided to give up for now. After all, the Blood Demon-God wouldn’t run away. If he remembered this place, and came back when he was stronger, it would still be there.

Just as he was about to make that decision, he suddenly heard the voice of Aureon Human Emperor in The Map of Heaven and Earth.

“Johnnie, this statue has been glowing faintly!”

Johnnie opened The Map of Heaven and Earth and saw it was the statue of the Lust Witch!
