Alex's blood aura continued to improve.

Immortal Spirit 1st realm.

Immortal Spirit 2nd realm.

It took him many days of blood absorption to reach those realms. After some time, it became impossibly difficult to improve any further. The remaining blood aura was far too thin for him to waste his time there anymore.

Alex stood up finally, deciding that he needed to leave. He was still just at the edge of the Inner region since he had died right on top of the Sand Wall.

Before leaving, he spent some time searching around for the various things he could find. Mostly, he searched for his own sword and storage bags. It took him a while, but he managed to find his sword and some of his storage bags.

The others were stuck somewhere he couldn't find or cut apart by Death during one of the many times he had died.

After finding what he could, Alex tried to take away some of the Sunhearts with him, but to his utter surprise, there were none.

In the tens of thousands of beast corpses that littered the area, not a single corpse had a Sunheart.

'That can't be,' Alex thought. 'How are there none?'

The situation puzzled him for a while, but as he saw signs of corpses that were ripped apart or burned, he realized what it was.

Sun Wraiths.

Each one of the dead corpses that did have a Sunheart within it had all turned to Sun Wraiths. The ones that were still here were ones that never had a Sunheart to begin with.

Since he couldn't take Sunhearts, he decided to ignore it. The beast cores wouldn't help him anyway after all.

Alex looked through the storage bag and found a few Sunhearts. He had been killing beasts for a while since before he even reached the Sand Wall, so those Sunhearts were with him.

He put it along with a random beast core into a separate storage bag and went on to fill the rest of the empty storage bags with meat from the beasts. While the beasts early on were so weak that he didn't consider consuming any of their meat, they were now so strong that he started becoming certain that he would see benefits.

Most of the corpses had started rotting, so finding meats that were more or less fresh was quite difficult. The bottom was filled with beasts that had died a long time ago, and the top was filled with beasts whose corpses had been cooking in the day sun.

The only good ones were toward the center, which Alex found. He took only 2 corpses with him, deciding to get fresher meat on his own later on.

Once done with everything, Alex climbed back to the top of the Sand Wall and stared at the scene of massacre. So many beasts had died in this place that Alex could only wonder how the beasts hadn't gone extinct in the presence of Death.

Alex felt his blood aura again, simply stunned by the improvement.

How long would it have taken him to take his blood aura from barely being in the Immortal Transcendent 1st realm to being in the Immortal Spirit 2nd realm?

Now, his blood aura was easily the strongest aspect of his, with perhaps his Intent coming close. It was difficult to ascertain just how much improvement his Spiritual energy had gone through in the past 50 years all because of the seal around it.

Alex wouldn't be very surprised if it was somehow stronger than his blood aura too. But since he couldn't make use of it as well as he could his blood aura, Alex ignored it.

He carried the sword in his hand now, intending to train with it at every moment now. He needed to improve his Sword Intent that was lagging behind.

And now that he was entering the inner region of the desert, he needed to improve his body as well.

'I need to find the Elixir,' he thought.

Alex looked around, trying to discern what direction Death had left in. If possible, he wanted to leave in the opposite direction. But, upon thinking about how much he had improved his Blood Aura just by the mere happenstance of meeting her, he wondered if the correct thing to do here was to follow her.

If he could meet her and be in a similar situation for just 2 more times, his Blood Aura would improve so much that it would reach the Divine realm.

Sadly, it seemed luck was not on his side. Whether he wanted to run away from Death or go toward her, there was no trail left behind by her.

In the days since she had left, the orange sand had covered up everything.

'It's been 14 days since she left,' Alex thought. 'She could be anywhere by now.'

The thought came to Alex so naturally that it took him a moment to even realize what he was thinking. 'Wait, 14 days?' he thought. 'Has it been 14 days?'

For some reason, he could tell it was. Not only had it been 14 days since she had left, he also knew that it had been 52 days since he first arrived atop this place.

He had been killed over and over for 38 days straight.

'That's interesting,' he thought.

The flow of time he recognized wasn't exact. He could tell he was somewhat wrong. But the mere fact that he even knew to estimate, despite how many days had passed while he was dead, meant that he had learned quite a lot about an important Dao.

The Dao of Time Awareness was a Dao that let one know how long a time had passed for a worldly scale. After spending so many years next to the Voidgate back in Medicine World, it appeared he had picked up more than he had thought he had.

That sadly also confirmed one thing he had been interested about.

The flow of time in Hell was close to normal as it could be, like the rest of the world.
