Watching Logan and Jessica load all the luggage onto the cart, a Blood Knife Society guard tossed Logan a drumstick and praised him with a grin, "Kid, work hard. Stick with the young lady and you'll have a future."

Logan and Jessica took the drumstick and looked at the two guards with open mockery.

Feeling the contempt in Logan's eyes, both guards frowned and walked up to him.

"Kid, don't play two-faced games in our Blood Knife Society. The moment the young lady leaves, you dare bare your teeth at your grandpa? Careful, or I'll smack you!"

With that, both guards used [Familiar Merge]. One turned into a humanoid tiger, three meters tall; the other into a humanoid lizard, four meters tall.

They loomed over Logan and Jessica, cracking their knuckles, ready to teach them a lesson.

Suddenly, everything went dark before their eyes. Logan's body began to grow fast, and his skin turned gray-blue.

When their sight cleared, they realized that at eye level they could only see Logan's knees. Both of them started shaking.

The tiger guard was the first to look up, staring hard at Logan's chin. His voice trembled. "Y-you... who are you?!"

Logan shot the terrified guards a sideways glance and smiled. "Didn't you just say your young lady likes men like this?"

Under Logan's pressure, the two didn't know how to answer. They could only watch as he grabbed the cart stacked with their luggage and stored it in his familiar space.

"Thanks!" Logan closed his familiar space, gave the guards a nod, and left this Blood Cultivation Realm with Jessica.

On the way, Jessica looked at Logan, puzzled. "Why didn't you just suppress this Blood Cultivation Realm on the spot?"

Logan heard her and shook his head with a smile. "We already took their luggage. If we also seize their Blood Cultivation Realm, I'd feel a bit bad."

Pfft!

Jessica burst out laughing at that.

About two hours later, Tracy led the Blood Blade main force out of the Blood Cultivation Realm.

They were covered in dust, everyone injured, looking pretty rough.

"Damn it, are the monsters in this Blood Cultivation Realm all thieves? All they do is ambush you—got me bleeding!"

"Miss, the monsters here are crafty and the danger is high. With our numbers, I don't think we can take it."

Tracy wiped the blood off her face, spat lightly, and said coldly, "Rest first. Eat, then we'll go back in for a look. I don't believe so many of us will come back empty-handed."

With that, Tracy went around the gate of the Blood Cultivation Realm and headed back to camp.

But soon, they were stunned by what they saw.

The explorer camp that had bonfires and rows of tents was now just bare ground.

The two guards who stayed behind to watch Logan were lying by the fire pit, sprawled out and unconscious.

A bearded warrior saw this and panicked. "Damn it, I brewed a whole pot of coffee this morning!"

Cursing, he walked over to the two guards and started beating them hard.

Tracy watched the bearded man slap them again and again, her face very dark.

She had just fought for her life inside the Blood Cultivation Realm and felt sticky all over. She'd planned to get back to camp and change clothes first.

Now great—forget changing clothes, the whole camp is gone.

"Where are those two kids from earlier?" Seeing the two guards wake up, Tracy ordered her people to haul them up and question them.

When the guards saw Tracy and the team return, they burst into tears like kids who'd been picked on.

"Miss, that guy tricked us!" The guard who had turned into a humanoid tiger sobbed and snottered as he told how Logan took the camp.

"That kid isn't small at all. After merging with his familiar, he was as tall as a five-story building! He's a liar!" the humanoid lizard guard added.

Realizing Logan had played her, fury burned in Tracy's eyes.

The Blood Blade familiar tamers around her got riled up and swore to chase Logan down.

Seeing everyone aligned, Tracy slapped her leg and gave the order: "Go! Forget this Blood Cultivation Realm. Let's all go bring that boy back!"

She paused, cheeks slightly red, and said softly: "And when we do, make sure you lock him in my tent."

Her words hit like thunder. All the Blood Blade familiar tamers widened their eyes and swallowed hard.

They hadn't expected it: the young lady really does like them big—but what she likes is super big.

…

Logan and Jessica kept exploring and soon reached their first stop: Master-level Blood Cultivation Realm No. 10010.

Since this realm was the most remote, even the support staff had already pulled out.

They went in and found the terrain was mostly hills.

So Logan immediately released three Black Ant Kings and thousands of black ants. "Go. Flatten this Blood Cultivation Realm!"

At the order, the three Black Ant Kings opened their wings and led the swarm deep into the realm.

Along the way, they ran into small groups of master-tier monsters. The kings didn't even need to act—the sea of ants swarmed and killed them.

Jessica and Logan stood on Red Feather the horned hawk's back, moving forward with the ant army.

If they met a strong master-tier monster, Lilith struck first and cut it down with her magic blade.

In less than half a day, the black ant army pushed straight through to the end of the Blood Cultivation Realm.

The guardian there was a Master 5 stars Inferno tyrannosaur.

Unlike other monsters, this tyrannosaur was smart. It had already gathered a magma lizard army to block the way in front of it.

Logan led his forces to surround them. For a moment, both sides held their ground.

[Race: Red Lotus Tyrannosaur]

[Element: Inferno]

[Rank: A, 1-star]

[Stage: Master, 5 stars]

[Talents: Flame Aura, Magma Bloodline]

[Skills: Red Lotus Breath, Soul-Stealing Dragon Roar, Exploding Scale Tail Whip]

[Stats: Power 205, Stamina 217, Mind 163, Agility 195]

…

Looking at the info, Logan frowned and quietly told the ant army to pull back.

This Red Lotus Tyrannosaur was truly strong.

Its Flame Aura, a wide-area damage talent that lasts over time, would cause huge losses to his ant army.

If the magma lizards pinned down his black ant army, a total wipeout was possible.

It had taken Logan a long time to build up this many black ants, and he wasn't about to waste them in the Blood Cultivation Realm.

So he summoned Lilith and Kerparos and activated Dual-Beast Possession.

"All in. Take the head!" As he spoke, he triggered his Infernal Lord Form.

It was his first time turning on Infernal Lord Form while in [Dual-Beast Possession].

To his surprise, the two states didn't clash—they merged perfectly.

Logan blasted through the magma lizards blocking the way and unleashed a volley of mental power attacks at the Red Lotus Tyrannosaur.

"Roar!"

"Human!"

"You will die!"

The soul-tearing pain made the Red Lotus Tyrannosaur howl nonstop.

Its Red Lotus Breath spewed out in wild bursts.

Kerparos seized the moment and cast a triple Blizzard, burying the tyrannosaur in ice.

At the same time, the demon wings unfurled behind Lilith. A pitch-black magic blade was already in her hand.

"The Demon Lord descends!"

"Moon-Cleaving Magic Blade!"

This strike carried all of Lilith's demon lord power, boosted by [Spiritlight Mark] and [Demon Eye].

The silver crescent blade slid across the tyrannosaur's neck like a knife through cake frosting—smooth, with no resistance.

As the slash faded, the Red Lotus Tyrannosaur's head thumped to the ground, and its crimson flames slowly went out.

Without their leader, the magma lizards fell into chaos.

Without the Red Lotus Tyrannosaur to command them, they could only act on instinct and simple smarts against the black ant army, and were quickly picked off one by one.

Logan stood behind the Red Lotus Tyrannosaur, staring at a wide field of shining purple-gold spirit ore ahead, eyes lighting up.

"As expected, dragons are great at hoarding treasure." He admired the huge vein and scanned the many valuables scattered around.

Purple-gold spirit ore is a very rare energy ore, even in the Human Federation.

Since the familiar era began, people have been using familiar energy.

Purple-gold spirit ore is the richest natural source of familiar energy in the wild.

Its energy is so pure it doesn't need filtering—both humans and familiars can absorb it directly.

Logan snapped off a piece of crystal, turned to Kerparos, and smiled. "Perfect. We can finally heal you completely."

Kerparos nodded again and again. "Yes. The energy here is enough to heal me and bring me back to the Master tier."

Before this, Natalia had sent items to treat Kerparos, but without a steady supply of familiar energy, Logan hadn't let him recover. Now, with an entire vein to draw from, it was the right time to heal.

"Master, don't just stand there. While I recover, you can extract the spatial fragments inside the Blood Cultivation Realm and form complete space crystals."

At the words space crystals, Logan grew serious. The reason he volunteered to come suppress this Blood Cultivation Realm was to collect them.

To face the beast tide, he needs a large enough familiar space to set up the ultimate Rune Arrays that Kerparos controls.
