Chapter 262: Blood Maiden
"Tell me, how do you think this sea of blood that extends dozens of thousands of kilometers came to exist?"
Cain did not answer immediately and began to think very deeply about that question. The Blood Sea extended was immense, and the amount of blood full of overwhelming vitality in it was so powerful that even Titans could use it for their cultivation.
A natural inheritance could have given it birth, but Cain seriously doubted that. The reason was simple, natural inheritances were born after enough world energy gathered in a particular place, and he did not believe something like the Blood Sea could have been born that way since the time and forces needed would have been simply outrageous.
After serious consideration and discarding several ideas, only one answer came to Cain’s mind.
"The corpse of several extremely powerful life forms?"
Extreme powerhouses change their bodies and souls to a terrific degree, and those forces and energy do not simply vanish upon their death. If left alone, it disseminates into the environment, giving birth to all kinds of phenomena.
Bloodless #1 and the Blood Duke stared at Cain with wonder due to the young man’s impressive insight. That level of wisdom could not be born just out of mere intelligence but needed worldly experience that someone so young as Cain should have yet to gain.
The Blood Duke stared at Cain’s eyes for a moment before softly nodding.
"You are half right. It indeed came from death but of a single beast."
Cain’s eyes widened as he heard that, and there was a pure shock in them. The idea that the corpse of a single life form could have made the Blood Sea was inconceivable. If that was really the case, that beast should have been at a level at which even Titan could only look up.
There was no reason for the Blood Duke to lie to him, which prompted Cain’s mind to figure out where such a beast came out. If the Wave Beast Race had such a mighty champion, then it would have been able to conquer a continent for itself, maybe even the entire Aether.
Since that was not the case, there was only one possible answer, but the idea shook Cain to the core. He looked up to the ceiling, but his eyes aimed at something much higher.
