Fang Hong remained expressionless, offering no answer.

He simply extracted the soul of the Blood Sea Emperor and locked it into the demon soul banner, bringing this battle to a complete end.

The first Immortal Emperor powerhouse in the Sea of Death had been successfully hunted.

Fang Hong put away the soul severing sword and the demon soul banner, then collected the corpse of the Blood Sea Emperor.

He then turned and walked into the Immortal Cave of the Blood Sea Emperor, closed the door tightly, and began to handle the aftermath.

Fang Hong first took out the Demon Gourd and refined the corpse of the Blood Sea Emperor into a Middle Stage Immortal Emperor dao pill!

The power of the Dao contained within this Middle Stage Immortal Emperor dao pill was already incredibly close to that of an eighth-grade dao pill.

It was a pity that it was still a little lacking; if only there were a few hundred more...

Fang Hong put away the dao pill and began to carefully inventory the belongings left behind by the Blood Sea Emperor.

As a Middle Stage Immortal Emperor powerhouse and a hegemon of the Sea of Death, the Blood Sea Emperor naturally had an extremely rich collection, varied and dazzling.

But for Fang Hong, there were only three types of items that were truly useful: first, Dao Artifacts; second, immortal herbs; and third, pill formulas.

In terms of Dao Artifacts, Fang Hong gained four eighth-grade Dao Artifacts: the "Blood God Armor," the "Blood Spirit Pearl," the "Blood Sea Sword," and a "Blood Sea Seal."

These four were all the Blood Sea Emperor’s life-bound Dao Artifacts. Fang Hong did not stand on ceremony and directly took them all, intending to use them to upgrade his own Dao Artifacts in the future.

In terms of pill formulas, the Blood Sea Emperor’s collection was also quite considerable, with all kinds of pill formulas available.

Among them, Fang Hong immediately took a liking to a pill formula named "Blood Lotus Pill."

The Blood Lotus Pill was a type of seventh-grade dao pill.

Its effect was extremely direct; as long as it could be successfully refined, consuming it and refining the medicinal power within would allow one to directly increase their Cultivation, saving a vast amount of time spent on Cultivating.

What surprised Fang Hong even more was that while inventorying the immortal herbs, he actually found the seeds of the immortal herb needed to refine the Blood Lotus Pill among the Blood Sea Emperor’s belongings.

Clearly, the Blood Sea Emperor had previously successfully refined the Blood Lotus Pill, which was why he had left these seeds behind.

"With the immortal herb seeds, things will be much easier." Fang Hong felt a surge of joy.

As long as he planted the seeds in the years pearl, he would be able to cultivate mature immortal herbs in less than a month.

By then, he would be able to refine the Blood Lotus Pill, and the day his Cultivation increased would be just around the corner.

Apart from the Dao Artifacts, pill formulas, and immortal herbs, other Dao techniques, secret arts, and the like were not of much use to Fang Hong, but there was no harm in keeping them.

After dealing with these belongings, Fang Hong took out the demon soul banner and began to perform a soul search on the Blood Sea Emperor.

Inside the Immortal Cave, screams rang out one after another.

Before long, Fang Hong had finished the soul search. The soul of the Blood Sea Emperor was of no further use, so he fed it directly to the demon soul banner.

Through this soul search, in addition to learning about the distribution of forces in the Sea of Death, Fang Hong also unexpectedly obtained an unforeseen secret.

In the depths of the Blood Sea Emperor’s memory, he learned of a mysterious sea area!

However, the entrance to that grotto was blocked by a thick, grey, and strange gas.

That gas was incredibly eerie and contained a powerful repulsive force.

Even a Middle Stage Immortal Emperor powerhouse as strong as the Blood Sea Emperor, having exhausted all kinds of methods, could not break through the obstruction of that gas to enter the interior of the grotto and investigate.

It was precisely because of this that the Blood Sea Emperor strongly suspected that the interior of that mysterious grotto must hide earth-shattering treasures.

Otherwise, it could not possibly be guarded by such a powerful force.

He had kept this secret buried deep in his heart, never mentioning it to anyone.

He only hoped that one day his strength could advance further, breaking through his current realm.

Perhaps then he would be able to break through the obstruction of that grey gas, enter the interior of the grotto, and explore its mysteries.

The reason the Blood Sea Emperor discovered that mysterious undersea grotto was purely by chance.

While pursuing an Immortal Emperor-level sea beast, he tracked it all the way to that mysterious sea area and inadvertently discovered this deeply hidden grotto under the deep sea.

"A mysterious grotto? That’s somewhat interesting." Fang Hong muttered to himself, a flash of intense interest appearing in his eyes.

The Blood Sea Emperor was, at any rate, a Middle Stage Immortal Emperor powerhouse; a grotto that even he could not enter could absolutely not be an ordinary place.

Where there are anomalies, there must be demons; the interior of that mysterious grotto must hide unknown secrets.

Perhaps it was truly as the Blood Sea Emperor had guessed, hiding peerless treasures.

Thinking of this, a strong desire to explore immediately arose in Fang Hong’s heart. 𝒇𝓻𝓮𝓮𝙬𝙚𝒃𝒏𝓸𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝓬𝓸𝒎

He had already decided that once he finished handling the matters at hand, he would set off for that mysterious sea area to explore the mysteries of that mysterious grotto!

Just because the Blood Sea Emperor could not step into it back then did not mean that he could not enter; after all, he had many methods, so how could a mere mysterious gas stop him?

However, before setting off for the grotto, Fang Hong still had one important matter to handle.

That was the group of Immortal Emperor Elders of the Blood Sea Sect.

Fang Hong dug out a token that was entirely crimson from the Blood Sea Emperor’s belongings.

This token was about the size of a palm, with some blood-colored patterns engraved on its surface, faintly emitting an aura of majesty; it was the supreme Sect Master token of the Blood Sea Sect.

As the core token of the sect, as long as one held this Sect Master token, they could mobilize all the Elders and disciples within the sect and command the entire Blood Sea Sect.

Fang Hong used the Blood Sea Emperor’s blood to issue a message through the Sect Master token:

"All Immortal Emperor Elders, come to the Immortal Cave to assemble immediately. There is a major matter to announce; do not be late!"

This message instantly spread throughout the entire Blood Sea Sect.

The Immortal Emperor Elders who received the message dared not delay in the slightest and, one after another, used the sect’s teleportation array to rush to the Blood Sea Emperor’s Immortal Cave at the sect headquarters.

The Blood Sea Sect had a total of ten Immortal Emperor Elders, one of whom had already been captured alive by Fang Hong.

In less than half an hour, the remaining nine Immortal Emperor Elders had all arrived in front of the Blood Sea Emperor’s Immortal Cave.

They lined up, their auras distinct: there were three Early Stage Immortal Emperors, three Mid-stage Immortal Emperors, and three Late Immortal Emperors.

"Why did the Sect Master suddenly summon us?"

"Could it be that someone has come to cause trouble? But the island is peaceful..."

The nine Elders stood outside the Immortal Cave, whispering and discussing, each with a look of confusion; no one could guess the Sect Master’s thoughts.

Just then, with a "rumble," the door of the Blood Sea Emperor’s Immortal Cave slowly opened, and Fang Hong walked out from inside.

When the nine Immortal Emperor Elders saw the face of the person who walked out of the Immortal Cave clearly, everyone felt as if they had been struck by lightning and instantly froze in place.

The surrounding space-time froze at this moment.

Fang Hong merely raised his hand, instantly killing the nine Elders, leaving behind their belongings, collecting their souls, and feeding their Physical Bodies to the Demon Gourd to refine into dao pills, all in one go.

After finishing all this, Fang Hong’s figure merged into the void like a ghost, and he left the Blood Sea Sect silently.

The hunting target of the Blood Sea Sect had been successfully achieved to Perfection.

Next, Fang Hong would head to that mysterious sea area to explore the mysterious grotto that even the Blood Sea Emperor could not enter.
