#1113 - Assimilation, pollution
Just as the red mist dissipated, Blood Skull Old Ancestor and the bald monk rushed into it together, disappearing into the void with Qin Qipeng.
“This scepter…”
The black-robed doppelganger suddenly manifested from the void, frowning as he stared at the place where the three disappeared.
He felt like something was wrong.
However, he didn't have time to think too much at this moment, and immediately chased after Qin Qipeng. With a single step, white light surged around him, and he disappeared from the spot.
Although this core area was powerful, it still couldn't restrict the Heavenly Dao's teleportation ability.

Inside a huge canyon, the pitch-black abyss was like the gaping maw of an ancient beast, capable of swallowing everything in the world.
Suddenly, in the void above the canyon, a burst of twisting and changing occurred, and Qin Qipeng, holding the scepter, suddenly appeared.
“What is this place?”
Qin Qipeng's gaze instantly fell on the dark abyss below. His divine sense subconsciously wanted to probe it, but he was horrified to discover that his divine sense seemed to be on the verge of being completely pulled out of his body, scaring him into quickly withdrawing it.
In that instant, he seemed to see a blood-red eye suddenly open deep within the abyss.
“Something's not right…”
Qin Qipeng had traveled through the heavens for many years, and he had developed an instinctive reaction to certain things. There seemed to be an unknown and terrifying existence hidden below.
However, before he could take any action, the space behind him suddenly rippled again, and two more figures rushed out in quick succession. Who else could they be but Blood Skull Old Ancestor and that bald monk!
“You little thief, let's see where you can run!”
The two men's faces were ferocious, their eyes only on Qin Qipeng, and they didn't bother to investigate the surrounding environment.
Seeing Qin Qipeng within reach, a fierce look flashed in their eyes, and they almost simultaneously pushed their inner worlds to the extreme, wanting to completely suppress Qin Qipeng in one fell swoop.
However, just as they were about to attack, the dark abyss below suddenly stirred.
Buzz—
A deafening roar suddenly sounded. In the depths of the darkness, a blood-red pupil suddenly opened, and circles of blood-red ripples rushed towards the top of the canyon at an extremely terrifying speed, reaching the three of them in just an instant.
“What the hell is that!”
Blood Skull Old Ancestor and the bald monk were shocked. They could feel the surging, terrifying power in the blood-red ripples, which made them feel fear from the depths of their hearts.
The two also reacted extremely quickly, decisively giving up on attacking Qin Qipeng and turning their heads to bombard the surging tide of ripples with the power of their worlds.
However, something incredibly shocking happened to the two of them.
Their inner worlds collided with the blood-colored ripples, but they didn't make any sound, nor did they come into contact with any entity. They just passed straight through, silently and inexplicably.
Blood Skull Old Ancestor and the bald monk's eyebrows twitched violently.
Subconsciously, they both felt that this was not a good thing.
You must know that the two were powerful Ancestral Spirit Realm experts. If they were unwilling, even a late-stage Ancestral Spirit Realm expert would not be able to invade their inner worlds.
“Source… Source Ancestor!”
The pupils of the two men suddenly shrank, and they subconsciously thought of this.
Perhaps only a Source Ancestor could so easily affect their inner worlds.
The thing hidden in this abyss was actually a Source Ancestor!
The two men were both shocked and terrified, and at the same time, they frantically circulated their inner worlds, wanting to dispel the blood-colored energy attached to them.
However, it was useless at all.
They were horrified to discover that this blood-colored energy had already reached the depths of the world entrances in a short period of time, and it actually wanted to forcibly pry open their inner worlds and invade them.
This immediately made the two men's souls fly out of their bodies.
Their inner worlds were their source of power, and even their true spirits were hidden within. If something happened to their inner worlds, they would not be able to live.
However, it was too late to stop it now.
The erosive power of this blood-colored energy was simply terrifying to the extreme. The two men were horrified to discover that they had completely lost control of the assimilated parts of their inner worlds, and they were uncontrollably opening on their own.
“No——”
Blood Skull Old Ancestor and the bald monk's eyes were about to split, but they couldn't stop it at all.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The entrances to the two worlds were forcibly pried open, and the entrances were hung with strange objects like blood threads linked together, as if they were alive and constantly wriggling.
The inner worlds of the two were clearly presented in front of outsiders.
Blood Skull Old Ancestor's inner world was full of soaring blood light, and various undead creatures were entrenched within. Seeing the sky opened in the void, they also raised their heads, revealing a look of astonishment.
The bald monk's inner world was resplendent with gold, and the tinkling sounds of Buddhism echoed like a great bell, able to cleanse people's hearts. His inner world and Blood Skull Old Ancestor's inner world were simply two extremes.
However, at this moment, a touch of scarlet red began to emerge from the edges of the inner worlds of both of them, and it was spreading towards the depths at a terrifying speed.
Wherever the scarlet red passed, all objects and even life were transformed into scarlet red, without exception.
And the creatures that came into contact with it also changed from agile to dull after turning scarlet, and finally slowly showed a strange look.
With their inner worlds affected, the bodies of Blood Skull Old Ancestor and the bald monk in the outside world also trembled uncontrollably, their faces full of horror.
In the eyes of the two, a little scarlet red began to appear, gradually enlarging.
“What is this… Source Ancestor… Could it be…”
Blood Skull Old Ancestor seemed to have thought of something, his eyes widened, and then he showed a miserable smile: “Our luck is so bad, of the nine Source Ancestors, we actually encountered him first…”
The bald monk obviously also thought of it, and he also showed a look of unwillingness, but he saw it more clearly than Blood Skull Old Ancestor: “No, perhaps it's not that we have bad luck, but that the River of Time and Space can no longer suppress him, so this Source Ancestor World appeared…”
Qin Qipeng on the side was also dumbfounded. Such a shocking change also made his whole body shiver involuntarily.
The Source Ancestor has appeared!
And it's still that polluted Source Ancestor!
A thought instantly surged in his mind: Escape!
However, can he really escape?
In fact, he had already been targeted before he even came in.
In fact, it wasn't just him, but also many disciples of the Qin family, who had also been targeted long ago.
Just as Qin Qipeng burst out golden wings behind him, preparing to flee far away, a sigh suddenly came from the abyss below: “Come back…”
