Berserk God of War

Bai Hu Venerable’s answer was precisely that Venerable Ba Lian had given him a treasure key capable of opening the Small Secret Realm, and only he could use and open the Secret Realm; no one else had this item.

Upon hearing such an explanation, Sikong Jing finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He quickly said, "Bai Hu Venerable, then please open the Small Secret Realm now. We need to get inside quickly."

Before arriving, Sikong Jing had already used the contact method taught by Venerable Ba Lian before to communicate, but there was no response from Venerable Ba Lian within the Secret Realm.

This naturally made Sikong Jing even more worried.

Just like that, Bai Hu Venerable opened a gap in the Small Secret Realm, and Sikong Jing immediately flashed inside.

Of course, Bai Hu Venerable also followed in...

However, just as Bai Hu Venerable had said, the moment they stepped into the Small Secret Realm... boom!

A terrifying force suddenly pressed on the two from within the Secret Realm. In this instant, Bai Hu Venerable was about to be harshly pushed out of the Secret Realm like in previous times, but fortunately, Sikong Jing fiercely protected him...

Although Sikong Jing’s realm was not as high as Bai Hu Venerable at the moment, his combat strength had already surpassed him.

At the moment of protection, Sikong Jing shouted in amazement, "Holy Martial Stage’s aura and True Qi."

Sikong Jing was not experiencing the Holy Martial Stage’s power for the first time, so at this moment, he judged that the oppressive aura was precisely the power of the Holy Martial Stage...

In other words, Venerable Ba Lian had become Holy Martial!

But then Sikong Jing widened his eyes and said, "But this power is obviously extremely chaotic, it should be in Deviation."

Upon hearing these two sentences, Bai Hu Venerable was dumbfounded on the spot, the first sentence was a surprise, the second sentence was a shock...

Behind Sikong Jing, he quickly said, "Sikong Jing, we must hurry and retrieve the Murong Datian Decision; otherwise, there’s no way to stabilize Auntie Ba Lian’s True Qi, and we definitely won’t be able to get close."

Deviation causing the True Qi to become chaotic, and it’s still a Holy Martial Stage existence.

Aside from the equally Holy Martial Stage Murong Jianyun, probably no one else could help his Auntie Ba Lian.

Regarding this, Sikong Jing gradually calmed down.

He gently said, "Bai Hu Venerable, don’t worry. I will go in and see now."

Upon hearing this, Bai Hu Venerable froze again on the spot... it was already said that Auntie Ba Lian had reached the Holy Martial Stage, and aside from Murong Datian Decision, no one could get close, yet Sikong Jing still wanted to take a look?

But that was just Bai Hu Venerable’s own belief; Sikong Jing could certainly get close...

Because he also discovered that Venerable Ba Lian’s terrifying Holy Martial Stage aura carried the purest Nether Lotus Sea Snake power, and as someone who had also comprehended parts of the Nether Lotus Sea Snake’s meridian, he certainly had no problem.

Thinking of this, Sikong Jing immediately began to circulate the Holy Martial Stage Nether Lotus Sea Snake meridian inside his body.

In an instant, he gradually fused with the chaotic Holy Martial Stage power around him, then began to step forward...

Of course, Sikong Jing’s forward steps had to thread between the gaps of this Holy Martial Stage power.

No matter how much he understood the Nether Lotus Sea Snake, Sikong Jing was still not at the Holy Martial Stage.

Therefore, in Bai Hu Venerable’s eyes behind him, Sikong Jing’s every step was slow and deliberate, as if trekking through a stormy sea of Holy Martial power, always on the brink of being torn apart.

Seeing this, he couldn’t help but shout loudly, "Sikong Jing, why not still look for the Murong Datian Decision?"

Previously, Bai Hu Venerable didn’t look for Murong Jianyun as he didn’t know Venerable Ba Lian’s situation, fearing to recklessly seek others to disturb.

But now, knowing that the elder was in danger...

Sikong Jing smiled back, "No need, I can do it alone... Besides, even if the Datian Decision were here, it probably couldn’t get close. Venerable Ba Lian’s Holy Martial Stage realm has already surpassed Murong Datian Decision."

As his voice fell, Bai Hu Venerable was dumbfounded for the third time, then... ah!

Because he lost Sikong Jing’s protection, he was once again harshly thrown out of the Secret Realm.

As he landed, the entrance to the Small Secret Realm had already closed.

He sat dazedly where he landed.

His mouth was dry as he murmured, "Auntie Ba Lian has already surpassed Datian Decision, could Sikong Jing be mistaken?"

Datian Decision had achieved Holy Martial Stage long ago, yet Auntie Ba Lian suddenly surpassed it—it seemed like a joke.

Within the Secret Realm, Sikong Jing continued to step forward amidst the explosive Holy Martial Stage power...

And of course, he wasn’t mistaken.

Having encountered powerful Holy Martial beings like Qian Wumie and Patriarch Liu Duoye, he’s naturally able to preliminarily judge the force that Venerable Ba Lian displayed, which should have reached the second Great Realm of Holy Martial Stage.

And this was a realm that Murong Jianyun, the Dark Winged Dragon Eagle, and even Pei Chang had not achieved...

This certainly made Sikong Jing very surprised, after all, it had only been a few months since Venerable Ba Lian closed herself off to cultivate.

Even though he left behind the most powerful Nether Lotus Evil Snake’s partial meridian from Ten Thousand Beasts Sky Prison, reaching the Holy Martial Stage in this timeframe was already quite fortunate, yet he didn’t expect Venerable Ba Lian to directly surge into the second Great Realm of Holy Martial Stage.

"Perhaps, this is the reason for Venerable Ba Lian’s Deviation."

Thinking of this, Sikong Jing took a deep breath and finally reached the hut in the Small Secret Realm under the terrifying Deviation aura of Venerable Ba Lian, which took him a full hour.

Creek...

Finally, Sikong Jing pushed open the door to the small hut.

The first sight he saw was Venerable Ba Lian seated behind the Stone Stool Magic Box, but Sikong Jing’s pupils immediately contracted fiercely, his face filled with shock and slight confusion...

At this moment, Venerable Ba Lian appeared to be an embodiment of a true Nether Lotus Sea Snake...

Countless scales had grown on her skin, and her body seemed to be piercing out sharp objects, as if strips of snake tails from the Nether Lotus Sea Snake wanted to protrude from within Venerable Ba Lian.

Even though Sikong Jing had mentally prepared himself, he was still severely shocked by the sight before him.

Venerable Ba Lian was about to transform into a demon beast?

It’s absolutely impossible; besides himself, who else could transform into a demon beast without cause, Venerable Ba Lian’s problem might not be related to her cultivation...

"Then, it must be some force trying to make Venerable Ba Lian transform into a demon beast," Sikong Jing muttered to himself.

His gaze suddenly fell upon the Stone Stool Magic Box, and he immediately sensed the strong aura of a demon beast—it was precisely within the Stone Stool Magic Box, hiding a living Nether Lotus Sea Lotus or its Spiritual Shadow...

Before Sikong Jing could react, Venerable Ba Lian suddenly opened her eyes; her face twisted, as if struggling madly...

"Ajing, leave quickly!"

"Hidden within the Stone Stool is the terrifying Spiritual Shadow of the Holy Martial Stage Nether Lotus Sea Snake, and it still contains its blood..."

"It has injected the blood into my body, intending to turn me into a half-human, half-beast existence, and it is still controlling me."

With Venerable Ba Lian’s words, Sikong Jing’s whole body trembled, immediately understanding the situation.

But suddenly... buzz!

A snake-shaped Spiritual Shadow abruptly burst out from within the Stone Stool Magic Box, it stared sinisterly at Sikong Jing, "Another Human Clan learned to circulate my meridian, well then, let me control another."

This voice was sharp beyond measure, like a sea demon’s voice, chilling to the bone.
