Time passed, and Meng Hao barely ever set foot outside. All he did was work on duplicating the Paragon’s blood. Soon, he didn’t have seven portions, but rather, fifty. That much Paragon’s blood was something that even the Nine Seas God World would have a hard time coming up with.
Furthermore, Meng Hao had laid his hands on a virtual sea of spirit stones and Immortal jade. He didn’t even calculate how much it was in total. Mostly because he didn’t dare to. If he did, the pain in his heart would surely cause him to cough up a mouthful of blood.
“Still not enough!” he thought, his eyes completely bloodshot. He waved his hand, sending the puppet boy out once again to get some cultivation resources. This time, the puppet boy didn’t come back as quickly as he had before. Meng Hao waited for a while, and when he still didn’t return, had no choice but to rise to his feet. Just when he was about to walk out of the residence, his face flickered as he looked toward the leftmost stone chamber of secluded meditation.
Almost in the moment that he looked over, rumbling sounds echoed out from within the stone chamber. Next, the stone door shook, and a huge crack appeared in its surface, as if some incredibly powerful force were smashing against it from inside.
Meng Hao’s eyes glittered as he used the power of the Life Death Hex to peer into the stone chamber. What he saw was that, where before there had been ten Ghost Eye Beetles, now there were none!
Shockingly, an enormous eye had appeared inside the chamber in their stead!!
The eye was surrounded by ten tentacles, which whipped around rapidly. There was also a black glow that radiated out from it, which repeatedly slammed into the stone door.
Upon closer examination, it was possible to see that inside of the Ghost Eye was a tiny pitch-black imp, sitting there cross-legged. The imp had no eyes, a huge mouth, and strangest of all, it had a black carapace on its back! 2
Apparently, the bizarre Ghost Eye was actually created by the black-shelled imp.
Meng Hao’s eye widened as he also realized that, all of a sudden, his Life Death Hex was losing its grip!
Almost in the same moment that the Life Death Hex was weakening, a huge boom could be heard as the stone door collapsed. The Ghost Eye burst out, emitting a piercing, deafening shriek that echoed out in all directions. The Ghost Eye then proceeded to charge directly toward Meng Hao, as if to consume him!
