Within an underground cavern, bloodwater surged in every direction, the scent of blood steaming into the air.
The cavern was immense, spanning dozens of kilometers, filled with the sunken bones of various races—Human Race, Tiger Clan, Bull Clan, and the Skull Blood Vine Demon Clan.
The Blood Path treated each living being equally.
Jiang Ding arrived here, revealing his form as a Late Truth-Transforming Stage Wooden Vine Demon with verdant branches flailing wildly.
This Vine Demon was once a ruler of his kind within the Magical Stone Minor Realm, later vanishing without trace.
Some speculated that he might have fled as a Slave Clan member, or perhaps he was taken by someone powerful within the Horned Demon Imperial Clan who fancied the lively heart of a Wooden Vine Demon; there was no definitive outcome.
Thus, Jiang Ding borrowed him for use as an identity.
"Chik!"
Jiang Ding took out a half-human-tall blood egg and threw it into the center of the Blood Lake.
