Chapter 372: Sea of Blood
This chapter is updated by JustRead.pl
Cleansing the Demon Realm might sound grandiose, but in truth, it’s hardly worth mentioning. For Xu Yang, it’s just like going through the motions, the meaning of which, though non-existent, is not that significant.
After all, the Heavenly Demon is dead, its soul dispersed, and what remains are but walking corpses. Even if an insect with a hundred legs dies and does not stiffen immediately, without conscious control, its strength is limited, and it hardly poses a challenge.
Even against a Divinity Transformation level Demon Head, with careful planning, they can still be slain.
It’s merely a matter of outlasting them over time.
The Corpse Resolution Cultivators ended the Dark Chaos in this very way back in the day.
The same principle applies now, even more securely, because Xu Yang is supporting from behind.
A hundred years have passed, which is not too long, but it’s enough for him to advance further, stepping from the Golden Core into the Nascent Soul Realm.
With the Nascent Soul established and the Spirit-Treasure Mech Armor upgraded from ten million artifacts level to ten million artifacts level through the accumulated resources of the White Jade Capital, and with him personally in control, it’s effortless for him to unleash Five Elements Divine Skills, fight across realms, and even reign invincible among those undergoing Divinity Transformation.
With such combat power, what risks could there be?
As long as one doesn’t enter the three Death Lands, they can roam the Demon Realm at will.
After all, what’s called a Demon Realm is, plainly speaking, just the Heavenly Demon’s burial mound.
All dangers and horrors are relative.
As a rearguard, Xu Yang has no issues.
But as the main attackers, Meng Fuyao and the others face tremendous pressure.
The Demon Realm’s environment is special, heavily tainted by Demonic Qi, and with the hidden dangers posed by Corpse Resolution, the task of Slaughtering Demon must not be rushed and must be carried out gradually.
This gradual approach took ten years!
It took a full decade to just barely eradicate the Demon Realm of the Mountain of the Gloomy Spring and another called Panlong Valley.
Although it took a lot of time, the task was finally completed.
“Ten years of time, two realms cleansed of demons!”
“The virtue is complete, the karma is clear!”
“This day has finally arrived!”
Atop Righteous Qi Peak, Meng Fuyao declared solemnly. Both her expression and her words revealed an unavoidable exhaustion.
Xu Yang had no intention of Ascending and had no need for virtue, so in the task of cleansing the Demon Realm, he only provided support without taking action.
The burden lay entirely on the shoulders of the Nine Revisions of Corpse Resolution.
In this way, as the only Divinity Transformation Corpse Resolution among the Nine Cultivating, one can imagine the pressure he was under.
Luckily, the task was eventually accomplished.
Li Qiankun at the side, too, breathed a sigh of relief but with a hint of hidden worry, “For ten years, that Blood Demon has shown no action, letting us cleanse without hindrance. Is it out of fear of this person, or is it scheming something else?”
Upon hearing this, Meng Fuyao also furrowed her brows.
The ancient Heavenly Demon, despite being just a decaying corpse, posed a threat but not a sizable one.
The true cause for worry, the real calamity, is still that newly emerged Blood Demon.
Yet, for the past ten years, since they attacked the Mountain of the Gloomy Spring, the Blood Demon vanished without a trace, along with its underlings from the Holy Blood Demon Sect.
For a while, all was calm.
But their hearts were instead filled with unease.
Could it be that the Blood Demon was biding its time, allowing these Corpse Resolution Cultivators to Ascend and then take on a weakened White Jade Capital alone?
Or does it harbor other plans, other schemes?
Meng Fuyao had no idea.
It was precisely because of the unknown that she was worried.
“This person’s methods are extremely potent. After several exchanges, the Blood Demon suffered great losses. It’s natural for it to be apprehensive,” Meng Fuyao murmured, then said with a stern voice, “Regardless, our priority is still Ascension!”
Li Qiankun nodded his head, pondering before saying, “This person has set the Flying Immortal Conference at White Dragon Ridge, likely with considerations in mind. Let’s see his methods. As long as it doesn’t hinder our Ascension, there’s no harm in his arrangements.”
“Ascension…”
Meng Fuyao repeated softly to herself, standing at the peak, overlooking the world, and sighed without meaning: “Ascension, ah!”
…
The Demon Realm is cleansed, the virtue complete.
White Dragon Ridge, the Flying Immortal Conference.
This news spread like wildfire and known throughout the world.
Immediately, undercurrents surged, and the mist of intrigue thickened.
The Ascension of the Corpse Resolution Cultivators and the great conference is arguably the grandest event in a millennium.
But this grand event belongs only to the Nine Immortal Corpse Resolution and their sect’s disciples.
Others can only be spectators, virtually deemed expendable.
After the Ascension of the Nine Immortals, what will become of the mortal world?
Will there emerge a turning point, or will it completely succumb?
Will the calamity of the Blood Demon strike again?
Along with the news of the Flying Immortal Conference, a sentiment named despair unknowingly spread across the world, seeping into people’s hearts.
…
At White Dragon Ridge, in the Great Xing Mountain.
At the pinnacle, one man sits alone, silent and wordless.
Even with Mysterious Light shining over Qiankun, one remains oblivious to worldly affairs.
Speaking about Taoism, relying on the Taoist True Scriptures, and the special force from a counterstrike, Xu Yang is actually not too clear about the condition of the Blood Demon.
The Death Land Demon Region can block the Five Elements Mysterious Spirit and isolate the observation of the Heavenly Eye.
Hence, he is unaware of the current state of the Blood Demon, and this Flying Immortal Conference is just a move made in passing.
There was no choice, for one can’t make bricks without straw. Under the constraints of objective conditions, even with incredible wisdom, it’s hard to create a flawless situation.
Even holy beings with great powers have one oversight among a thousand concerns; not to mention him, a mere mortal cultivator?
He can only meet force with force, cover water with earth, make moves in the game, and employ various strategies.
That’s all there is to it.
Amidst these thoughts…
“Whoosh!”
Suddenly a gust of wind rises, and the stench of blood overwhelms the senses.
“Hmm!?”
Xu Yang frowns and looks up, as a five-colored aura condenses between his brows, opening to reveal a vertical pupil.
The light of the Five Elements Mysterious Spirit opens the Heavenly Eye!
Immediately…
“Gurgle, gurgle!”
A tide of blood rages and boils, vast and boundless.
Blood, blood, blood. As far as the eye can see, nothing but fresh blood, like a billowing sea of clouds, an expansive ocean.
A sea of blood?
A cloud of blood?
Spreading over everything, eclipsing the sun and moon!
White Dragon Ridge and the City of White Jade are plunged into darkness in an instant, engulfed by the shadow of the blood sea.
