Chapter 718 - 816: Injured by Vital Blood Qi
Therefore, the most valuable part of the entire heart is the source of blood energy. If Ye Tianfan takes away the source of blood energy, the value of the heart will decrease by eighty percent, and the remaining blood and heart can only be used as food ingredients and auxiliary materials for refining pills.
After all, without the source of blood energy, the heart of a Demon Beast is greatly devalued.
However, even so, with a Demon Beast the size of a mountain, even if its heart has lost the source of blood energy, its heart's value is still much higher than that of lower-level Demon Beasts' hearts.
Ye Tianfan wandered around various parts of the heart but couldn't find a good place to make an incision. After all, with such a huge heart, once it starts bleeding, it will definitely spurt outward, and once the heart is breached, it's almost impossible for Ye Tianfan to avoid being hit by the blood flow.
Additionally, the blood will flow out through the cut Ye Tianfan made earlier in the esophagus, and out of the Demon Beast's mouth.
By that time, the blood from the mountain-sized Demon Beast would truly form rivers of blood, and the scent of carnage here will inevitably attract many Demon Beasts to attack, leading to another bloodbath. Moreover, the resulting karma would largely fall on Ye Tianfan.
Then, Ye Tianfan's mind would be shrouded in a thin veil, making it difficult for him to advance. If he wants to reach a higher level, he must dissolve this karma; otherwise, there's no way to progress to the final level.
This is one reason why cultivating the mind is more important than cultivating the body.
Ye Tianfan looked at the enormous heart and thought about what would happen if he made an incision using the Xuanhuang Tower?
He could make a cut with the spire of the Xuanhuang Tower, then plug the hole with the tower. Then, Ye Tianfan could enter the heart through the Xuanhuang Tower, extract the source of blood energy, exit through the Xuanhuang Tower again, and then use the Fire Lotus Sword to cauterize the wound and seal it.
But by doing this, Ye Tianfan couldn't guarantee that he could completely seal the wound, as the blood pressure inside the heart is alarmingly high. Furthermore, given the immense size of the Demon Beast's body, the heart must have even greater blood pressure to supply blood throughout the entire body.
Therefore, this method is very risky; even a slight mistake could cause the wound to collapse completely, leading to massive blood spewing from the wound, potentially causing it to tear further.
At that point, it would be beyond Ye Tianfan's control. Even if the Supreme Primordial Being were present, they would be powerless; perhaps the Initial Primordial Being might have a solution, but the chances would be slim.
After all, when blood spurts from the heart, it can deplete the entire heart's blood in a very short time, and subsequently cause blood from all over the body to erupt as well.
Currently, Ye Tianfan has only two choices: take the risk and enter the heart to retrieve the source of blood energy, or give up on the source of blood energy.
But Ye Tianfan won't choose to give up. This giving up, that giving up, wasting such a precious piece of Demon Beast remains due to the insufficient space of his Xuanhuang Tower, wouldn't that be a huge loss?
Just like an ordinary person guarding a mountain of gold without a way to take it away, once this person leaves, he can never find the gold mountain again.
Ye Tianfan looked at the heart and realized he could only take a gamble, hoping his modest ride could turn into a luxury vehicle.
Ye Tianfan directly summoned the Xuanhuang Tower, and used its spire to fiercely poke at the gigantic heart, only to find, to his embarrassment, that the heart remained unscathed, while the Xuanhuang Tower sank deeply into it.
This situation left Ye Tianfan quite troubled, as he could tell from the circumstances that the heart's toughness was enormous, unparalleled.
It seems poking is impossible; other methods must be employed. Ye Tianfan didn't retract the Xuanhuang Tower since it needs to be ready at any moment to directly block the wound.
At this point, Ye Tianfan summoned the Fire Lotus Sword again, and he struck at the heart with it ferociously.
The result was that the Fire Lotus Sword also sank deeply into the heart.
Ye Tianfan pulled out the Fire Lotus Sword and let out a deep sigh, understanding that he couldn't use too much force on this heart, as its skin is rather thin. Of course, thinness is relative to the overall proportion of the heart, which means applying even a little force would cause the skin to sink in, given that behind the skin is blood, and blood is composed of water, which is incredibly flexible.
Ye Tianfan then grabbed the Fire Lotus Sword and infused it with three techniques, while using his other hand to hold onto a part of the heart's skin, starting to saw it gradually. Ye Tianfan used the Fire Lotus Sword like a saw, slowly and bit by bit beginning to saw.
In no time, Ye Tianfan saw that the heart's skin was already somewhat damaged. It seems that even though this Demon Beast is as mighty as the heavens, its internal organs are extremely fragile. Attacking its claws with full force resulted only in recoil to one side, whereas using the sword to saw the heart gradually produced a crack.
Ye Tianfan sensed the thickness of the entire heart and compared it to the thickness he had sawed off, realizing that if he kept sawing for a little longer, he would be able to cut through.
With this in mind, Ye Tianfan continued to saw and prepared the defense shield created by the Xuanhuang Tower, aiming its spire at the wound, ready to block it immediately once it was fully sawn through.
In a short while, Ye Tianfan felt the wound deepening towards breakthrough, so he positioned the Xuanhuang Tower spire at the wound and moved himself back, remotely controlling the Fire Lotus Sword to continue sawing.
The moment the wound spurted blood, Ye Tianfan immediately controlled the Xuanhuang Tower to plug the opening.
The result was that the Fire Lotus Sword didn't have time to retract and was directly pushed in by the Xuanhuang Tower. But this wasn't a big problem; once Ye Tianfan got inside, he could retrieve the Fire Lotus Sword again.
Although the Xuanhuang Tower plugged the wound, it still gushed blood, but the amount was very little compared to the entire heart, so Ye Tianfan didn't pay those any mind and directly used the Xuanhuang Tower to enter the heart.
Instantly, Ye Tianfan emerged from the Xuanhuang Tower. Upon exiting, he hurriedly wiped the bloodstains off himself, because once he entered the heart, he was immediately scalded by the blood energy, wanting to scream. However, since it was filled with blood, screaming would cause it to enter his stomach.
