Chapter 537: The Return of the Blood Lotus

Both sides ignored Zhang Mu’s presence. In the eyes of the ghost general, the Innate Spiritual Treasure within Zhang Mu’s body was just an opportunity for its growth, not a threat.

In the heart of the Corpse Emperor, no matter how big a threat Zhang Mu posed, he was still no match for the ghost general from the hellish plane standing before him.

Like this, Zhang Mu slowly sensed the returning power. The connection with Blood Lotus and the feeling he had before were slowly returning. The power of The Source of Wood that had once filled his body was being retracted.

Those pieces of The Source of Wood were only meant to mend Zhang Mu’s damaged meridians at the time. Later, when he recovered, they were completely useless to him. Now, they were taken back by Blood Lotus, and he surprisingly felt unobstructed.

So comfortable!

While Zhang Mu was enjoying this feeling, high above, the Corpse Emperor and the Ghost General had already started to fight.

The Corpse Emperor’s original arm turned pitch black, completely soaked in strong corpse poison. When it clashed with the Ghost General’s Crescent Moon Blade, it was equally powerful.

The sound of clashing metal and iron rang out constantly as the two swiftly clashed and dodged.

Despite the Ghost General being suppressed in strength, the difference between the two was not very large. The only disadvantage for the Corpse Emperor was that the Ghost General had a fourth-rank Ghostly Colt under him.

“A general from hell, leading a powerful Undead Legion, is only this much.”

The Corpse Emperor was usually cautious, but when the Ghost General tried to take his Corpse Poison Bead, he couldn’t tolerate it anymore. If he handed over the Corpse Poison Bead, even Cang Yu might be able to kill him.

Suddenly, a blood-red light shot out from Zhang Mu’s position, illuminating the entire battlefield, capturing the attention of the Ghost General and Corpse Emperor.

Has it finally appeared?

The ghost general showed more interest in Zhang Mu, while the Corpse Emperor frowned because Zhang Mu’s movements and aura exceeded his expectations.

“Blood Lotus, are you awake?”

Finally, Zhang Mu heard the familiar voice of Blood Lotus.

“Yes, the memories stored in the host body helped me recover. I never expected to see you again. I didn’t know I would need this backup plan to revive.”

Strip away!

Blood Lotus was peeling itself away from Zhang Mu’s body!

Zhang Mu watched as the green light moved away from him, feeling a wave of shock in his heart.

The green dots gathered around Zhang Mu, becoming more solid and eventually forming a human figure.

It was a slowly reviving ancient aura, like a fierce beast from that era.

When the Blood Lotus was reborn, the heavens and earth suddenly showed signs of change.

Flowing currents transformed into one painting after another, borrowing the power of the heavens and earth to welcome back this ancient blood vine.

It was a blooming blood-red lotus!

Countless fierce beasts tried to take away its guarded source, only to be completely engulfed by that blood-red force, like a sea of blood with no other colors.

How magnificent! How domineering!

The Blood Lotus eventually condensed into a human form, creating a cold and indifferent version of Zhang Mu.

Dressed in red robes, with crimson hair and eyes, its bloodthirsty instincts suppressed the green that symbolized life.

“Are you the blood vine?”

Zhang Mu looked at this almost identical version of himself in astonishment, unable to stop himself from asking.

The other person nodded slowly, showing their identity.

Did Blood Lotus and myself end our parasitic relationship?

Zhang Mu quickly shook his head, he could clearly feel the connection of blood running through Blood Lotus, then he realized a very likely reason.

The red flowing on Blood Lotus is Zhang Mu’s blood!

“It’s the blood I’ve been taking from your body for so many years. Other blood in me is just energy, but yours is different, you decided from the beginning that it would be your blood forming me.”

As Blood Lotus looked at Zhang Mu, he also felt emotional. He never thought he would regain consciousness again, but this moment meant his life was now shared with Zhang Mu.

“Now, we are no longer in a parasitic relationship.

We are symbiotic with each other.” Zhang Mu never expected things to change so quickly. He had never heard of anyone being able to symbiotically coexist with Blood Lotus before. Normally, they would parasitize human bodies and when that person couldn’t provide enough energy, they would be completely consumed.

But what Blood Lotus said was true, he didn’t deceive himself.

“What level of power do you have now?” Zhang Mu curiously asked, unable to determine the strength of Bloodvine.

To his surprise, Bloodvine unexpectedly smiled and said to Zhang Mu, “My power is your power, we are interconnected, our powers are shared.

If you want to know my strength, feel the power that belongs to you.

What does this mean?

However, Zhang Mu still followed Bloodvine’s words and observed his own power.

What left him stunned was the immense level of this energy he felt.

How did it become so powerful?

This is just the beginning of fourth-rank!

Bloodvine, what have you done?

Zhang Mu was shocked but couldn’t contain his excitement!

This is the early stage of the fourth rank, jumping from the early stage of the third rank to the early stage of the fourth rank, was like a great boost in promotion.

Zhang Mu’s heart was beating strongly, unable to calm down.

Furthermore, this power was being used without any unfamiliar feeling, as if it belonged to him a long time ago, gradually accumulated by himself step by step.

Bloodvine suddenly reminded Zhang Mu, “Now that you know our strength, there will be a surprise for you later. But let’s divide those two guys above our heads.”

It was only then that Zhang Mu realized there were two pairs of eyes glaring at him from above.

However, the two individuals had different expressions, the Corpse Emperor showed a sense of fear, the overwhelming power of the world just now was truly shocking, and he did not want to think about the horror of the blood-colored lotus again.

Just the advancement alone had caused such a commotion, how powerful must this treasure be! Moreover, it had the same appearance as that boy, everything about it felt mysterious.

However, underneath the heavy helmet of the Ghost General, there was a glimmer of even more curiosity in his eyes.

Bloodvine felt the greed and fear in the two gazes, seeming a bit upset, looked at Zhang Mu and slowly said, “The big fool on horseback is mine, the other one is up to you.”

Remember, our power is connected, you are very strong now.”

After saying that, in Zhang Mu’s stunned gaze, the blood red figure suddenly leaped into the air and without a word smashed a heavy blow on the head of Ghostly Colt!
