Chapter 429 - 429 426 Eight Diagrams Seal Demon Encounter
Chapter 429: Chapter 426: Eight Diagrams Seal Demon, Encounter with Extinction Again Chapter 429: Chapter 426: Eight Diagrams Seal Demon, Encounter with Extinction Again “Damn it!”
The Dharma Image Elder from the Blood Demon Sect roared in anger.
As he presided over the Array, his sensitivity to it was the strongest, and he was the first to detect the problem.
“People from the Beast Taming Sect have infiltrated the Blood Pool!”
When he shouted this, the rest of the Demon Cultivators immediately understood what was happening.
Unfortunately, while they understood, the base of the array had already been destroyed by the Soul Devouring Vine Demon, the great array had been damaged, and it was already beyond their power to reverse the situation!
“Kill him, kill that Beast Taming Sect Cultivator below!”
A Demon Cultivator, driven by anger, charged toward the Blood Pool.
But before he could get close to the Blood Pool, the cultivators from the Beast Taming Sect had already launched their spell attacks, forcing the group to be on guard and careful in their defense, otherwise they were very likely to be killed directly.
In an instant, numerous pathways were filled with the swift shapes of Beast Taming Sect Cultivators, who rapidly advanced into this space. A myriad of spells danced through the air, countless Divine Skills struck, and with their numerical advantage, they managed to suppress the group of Demon Cultivators.
“If you want our lives, you’ll have to pay a price too!”
The Elders from the Blood Demon Sect thundered furiously, feeling the imminent danger of death, suddenly abandoning their usual sly and devious tactics, their habit of attacking from the shadows, and began preparing to fight desperately with the Beast Taming Sect’s cultivators.
At this life-or-death moment, these Demon Cultivators from the Blood God Sect cast aside all concerns. The Blood Pool, owned by Old Demon Huaxue, which they usually dared not touch, was no longer of concern to them. Several who were near the Blood Pool directly used spells to mobilize the Essence Blood within the pool, greatly increasing the power of their Magic Divine Power.
Especially those Elders with profound Dao Cultivation, who utilized the Essence Blood in the pool to execute various secret Divine Skills of the Blood God Sect. For a time, countless Blood Shadows flew chaotically, various streams of blood crisscrossed the sky, and the stench of blood filled the entire cave, making one nauseous upon smelling it, but the Demon Cultivators from the Blood God Sect were not affected at all, rather their war power greatly increased.
“Sss sss…”
Suddenly, Elder Mo Li raised her hand, and from her sleeve flew out a Cold Chi, which instantly grew in size to several meters long, then opened its mouth to emit a blast of cold air.
Where the cold air passed, everything was covered with a layer of frost.
And the Essence Blood in the Blood Pool, hit directly by the cold air, was instantly frozen into a lump of ice, even the Essence Blood that had been mobilized by those Demon Cultivators to fly out of the Blood Pool was frozen into various shapes of ice pillars.
“Ah…”
Those Demon Cultivators became extremely annoyed upon seeing this.
Of course, the mere power of cold ice could not deter them; given a bit of time, they could extract the power from the Essence Blood out of its frozen state. Indeed, an elder had already begun to cast a spell, preparing to melt the cold ice to manipulate the power of the Blood Pool to deploy Great Divine Power.
But just as they had melted the cold air, suddenly, several thick blood-colored vines shot out from within the Blood Pool, directly piercing through the bodies of several Demon Cultivators.
Previously, the Soul Devouring Vine Demon had also been frozen within, initially panicking, thinking it was about to be killed by the cultivators of the Blood God Sect.
Yet before it could even struggle, the cold ice was melted by an Elder from the Blood God Sect.
In the chaos, it didn’t even bother to check who had unsealed it. It immediately stretched out its vine tendrils toward the cultivators of the Blood God Sect, attacking them in an attempt to help its sect swiftly eradicate these demon cultivators and avoid being surrounded by them continuously.
Even though the demon cultivators of the Blood God Sect, due to their unique cultivation techniques, didn’t care much about physical damage as long as they had enough essence blood power to completely heal their bodies, they were currently at a critical moment of fighting, where they couldn’t withstand any disturbance.
Moreover, it was directly pierced through by the thick vine tendrils.
Before they could extricate themselves from the entanglement of the vine tendrils, they were seized by the cultivators of the Beast Taming Sect, where a series of magic divine powers shattered their bodies, followed by being scorched by fire, sealed by cold ice, struck by lightning, and swept by wind.
Under such numerous attacks, even with their formidable recovery power, they were helpless.
However, what posed a greater threat to these cultivators was an intensely hot Burning Sky Holy Flame.
The Soul Devouring Vine Demon had, not without difficulty, gained the opportunity to ascend. It was just waiting for a time to go and digest this period, refine the power within its body, and advance to the Purple Mansion Realm depending on the Life Principle—Qin Feng did not want it to be killed by the cultivators of the Blood God Sect at this time, so he had immediately ordered the White Dragon to unleash the Forbidden Curse, intending to clear out a direction of demon cultivators and quickly get the Soul Devouring Vine Demon out.
This vine demon was actually not very suited for combat now; though it had become significantly stronger after a frenzied absorption previously, and had even grasped some mysteries of the Power of Laws by relying on the Blood Pool to cultivate the Blood Lotus, it had overeaten before, and its whole body had become several sizes fatter. Qin Feng was worried that if someone broke off a piece of its vine, the essence blood power inside it might erupt.
Because the demon cultivators of the Blood God Sect above the Purple Mansion Realm had already been entangled by the elders, Qin Feng had been acting unscrupulously throughout, relying on the Burning Sky Holy Flame of the White Dragon to sweep through a swath directly, covering all demon cultivators in the attack range of the Forbidden Curse Magic. Even if he couldn’t kill them temporarily, he had frightened the demon cultivators into retreating, allowing him to reach the front of the Blood Pool.
The Soul Devouring Vine Demon took the opportunity to hurriedly climb out from the Blood Pool and was taken by Qin Feng into the Demon Refining Pot to recuperate.
After its emergence, Qin Feng would have another subordinate at the Purple Mansion Realm.
Two hours later, the cultivators of the Beast Taming Sect had completely won the battle against the demon cultivators of the Blood God Sect.
As the number of demon cultivators decreased, it was only natural for the cultivators of the Beast Taming Sect to fight more smoothly. Even though the demon cultivators gathered together and resisted forcibly, they couldn’t withstand so many elders and disciples of the Beast Taming Sect, not to mention the even greater number of Spiritual Beasts.
This was also because the Blood God Sect’s cultivation technique was strange; ordinary attacks were ineffective against them. Even with severe injuries, they could heal their bodies and even plunder blood from the bodies of other creatures, causing ordinary Spiritual Beasts to hesitate to approach them.
Otherwise, if treating them like regular cultivators, the Beast Taming Sect would have let the Spiritual Beasts directly press on and forcibly break through the opponent’s defense with their strong physical bodies.
When there wasn’t much difference in the individual strength of cultivators from both sides, quantity became the greatest advantage.
Because they had more elders above the Purple Mansion Realm on their side, and these elders also had Spiritual Beasts of the same realm to assist against enemies, they managed to protect their disciples quite rigorously and didn’t let too many disciples of theirs be killed by the demon cultivators of the Blood God Sect.
However, many of the Spiritual Beasts that charged ahead had their blood entirely plundered by the demon cultivators of the Blood God Sect, and even though some Spiritual Beasts retreated in time, they inevitably suffered great damage to their primordial qi and needed good care for some time to recover.
War inevitably leads to death, and people couldn’t afford to grieve for their fallen comrades. They all used various kinds of magic divine powers that relatively restrained the cultivators of the Blood God Sect, and finally managed to kill all these demon cultivators.
Afterward, everyone didn’t delay, they promptly stepped forward and completely shattered the Blood Pool, refining all the essence blood and the remaining corpses of demon cultivators left within into nothingness.
In fact, apart from the low-level disciples, the Blood God Sect really hadn’t left many intact corpses at all.
It wasn’t because the methods of the Beast Taming Sect were too cruel and mangled the corpses of demon cultivators, but rather because the cultivation technique of the Blood God Sect was special. The higher the realm, the less they depended on their original bodies.
Especially the demon cultivators above the Purple Mansion Realm, many had completely refined themselves and no longer relied on their bodies to live, similar to the state of a Blood God, where naturally letting them not fear bodily harm, but once killed, of course, they wouldn’t leave any corpses behind!
As for the cleansing of demon cultivator corpses, Qin Feng could indeed lend a hand.
He had the White Dragon unleash the Holy Flame, directly purifying the many demon cultivator corpses into nothing, leaving not even the slightest bit of bone dust behind, completely eliminating any chance for the demon cultivators to use secret techniques to escape.
In fact, the purifying power of the White Dragon had indeed driven out several Demon Cultivators who were clinging to the corpses of lower disciples after receiving severe injuries.
“Nephew Qin’s Giant Dragon is indeed impressive. Although its combat power may not necessarily surpass that of the Demon Dragons in the Red Flame Demon Realm, its unique power is truly formidable!”
The few elders of the White Tiger Lineage watched with envy, and they could not stop singing praises.
Tiger-type Demon Beasts are mostly of the wind and metal elements and have the least variation in strength, unlike snake-type Demon Beasts, which can adapt their power systems to various environments, encompassing nearly all the Five Elements and Yin-Yang.
Therefore, the elders of the White Tiger Lineage generally have singular power and rely on Spiritual Beasts to wield other systems of magic, unlike the elders of the Spiritual Snake Lineage, who have power of various attributes.
At this moment, seeing the special purifying power of Qin Feng’s White Dragon immediately stirred the thoughts of these elders.
“Luo Zhancheng is currently attacking that continent, right? Let’s send him a message to see if we can bring back some Giant Dragons. The others are nothing special, but this White Dragon with its Light Attribute is very useful, especially when dealing with Demon Cultivators or the Demon Clan, as it can play a significant role.”
This statement immediately excited the other elders.
“However, I’ve heard that there aren’t many Giant Dragons on that continent, and even fewer when it comes to the White Dragon lineage. If many people want them, there won’t be enough to go around!”
“Cough, this elder finds staying at the Mountain Gate quite boring. I plan to contribute to the expansion of our Sect. Once the campaign against the Demon Sect is over, I want to help in that world, striving to subjugate another world sooner to enhance the prestige of our Beast Taming Sect.”
“You old fellow, I think your intentions are not just on wine, are they?”
Elsewhere, the White Dragon, who was helping to purify the Demon corpses, did not hear the conversation of the few elders from the White Tiger Lineage. It was currently enjoying the worshipful and awe-filled gazes of the other Spiritual Beasts and the fervent looks from the disciples of the Beast Taming Sect.
If it knew that its showing off would lead to these cultivators from the Beast Taming Sect coveting the Giant Dragons of that continent, it wouldn’t know whether to cry or laugh.
However, if the Beast Taming Sect really did relocate some Giant Dragons to the Sect, it wouldn’t be such a bad thing for the White Dragon itself. After all, having its kin around would mean occasional visits and interactions, and it might even find a mate and lay a few Dragon Eggs to leave behind descendants.
After destroying various Array Formations and prohibitions, the cultivators of the Beast Taming Sect swept through the Blood Cave again to ensure nothing was left behind, and then completely destroyed the Blood Cave.
Outside, Ning Wuxu and Yin Beifeng had been battling Xue Wuya for a long time. Although they had a clear upper hand, dealing with this guy who cultivated the Blood Transformation Saber Scripture was problematic. Transforming into a saber, he moved like lightning with fierce attacks and was incredibly hard to harm in his true form, even when Yin Beifeng’s White Tiger Saber hit the Blood Transformation Saber repeatedly, it could only shake its internal Demonic Qi, barely causing any severe damage.
Moreover, they had to be cautious not to get injured by the Blood Transformation Saber. Otherwise, even with Yin Beifeng’s Heavenly Immortal physique, a lot of his vitality would be plundered by this demonic weapon.
Fortunately, Ning Wuxu was there to assist.
Yin Beifeng’s attacks were powerful, and Ning Wuxu had many tricks up his sleeve, occasionally releasing the Binding Divine Light to immobilize the Blood Transformation Saber momentarily. Together, they managed to prevent Xue Wuya from breaking through their defense and escaping.
When Xue Wuya saw that the cultivators from the Beast Taming Sect were returning victorious and had completely destroyed the Blood Cave, he was mentally shocked, knowing that the great situation was lost.
Yet having battled fiercely for so long, not only was he unable to escape, but he was also trapped here by the two Immortals of the Beast Taming Sect. Despite seeming unharmed on the outside, he inevitably suffered many internal injuries and was completely at a disadvantage, unable to flee.
Eventually, the two Supreme Elders trapped Xue Wuya in a narrow space. After losing his speed advantage, even with his violent struggles, he could not escape. Ultimately, Ning Wuxu captured him in his Eight Trigrams Refining Furnace, suppressing him there, planning to bring him back to the Mountain Gate and ask several highly accomplished Supreme Elders to refine him together.
This is the advantage of having a powerful Magical Treasure Immortal Artifact.
Even though the cultivators of the Beast Taming Sect primarily focus on beast taming, they are also not inflexible. The White Tiger Lineage all refine Lifebound Divine Sabers, and cultivators of the other lineages also possess one or two Magical Treasure Divine Weapons, although they do not value them as much as they do their Spiritual Beasts.
After a brief rest, they prepared to return to the Rebirth Sect to reunite with everyone and discuss future action plans.
After all, the suppression of the Demon Sect had just begun; it was not possible to easily slaughter all the Demon Cultivators. Those hiding in various local divisions either remained concealed or retaliated against the Righteous Path Cultivators. There would be busy times ahead.
However, they had not traveled three thousand miles before suddenly spotting two streaks of escape light flying towards them from ahead.
Upon closer inspection, it was a Heavenly Immortal of the Wanfa Sect chasing a Yangshen Realm Demon Immortal of the Rebirth Sect.
This Demon Immortal was none other than Elder Mie Jue.
At that moment, the Elder was rapidly fleeing with a youth named Zi’er, using the light escape.
Although he had previously feigned a severe injury to divert most of the immortals to chase other Supreme Elders of the Rebirth Sect and only one chased him, even this single pursuer was more than he could handle.
After escaping thousands of miles, and realizing that his pursuer was still relentlessly close on his heels and even gaining ground, Mie Jue decided to confront and injure his pursuer to escape gracefully.
However, when the actual battle ensued, he discovered the formidable prowess of the Wanfa Sect’s Heavenly Immortal’s fighting skills. Terrifyingly strong, countless spells and Divine Powers were at his fingertips, and a mere flick brought forth over a hundred attacks, which overwhelmed Mie Jue.
With no other choice, he had to accept reality and flee again, even at the cost of depleting a significant portion of his Yang God origin energy to forcefully break through space using his escape skill.
Just as he was about to shake off the pursuing Wanfa Sect’s Heavenly Immortal, he unexpectedly collided with several Cultivators from the Beast Taming Sect.
From afar, the Supreme Elder of the Wanfa Sect rejoiced at their arrival and hastily called out, “Fellow Daoists of the Beast Taming Sect, please stop this demonic fiend. This demon is cunning; don’t let him escape.”
In fact, there was no need for his interjection. Yin Beifeng had already cleaved down with his saber.
And Ning Wuxu also stepped into the void, flying off to intercept Mie Jue’s intended escape route.
“Ah!”
Elder Mie Jue sighed deeply and said to the youth beside him, “I have failed the responsibilities entrusted to me by the Sect Leader. Now, with two Heavenly Immortals blocking the way, even my own escape is uncertain, let alone ensuring your safety.
Forget it; you… go on your own. Whether you can escape with your life is now up to your own fate.”
With that, he shook his cultivation, a powerful surge of energy enveloping the youth and flinging him dozens of miles away. Then, his aura surged as he met Yin Beifeng’s sword energy head-on, trying to force a path through.
Although Yin Beifeng’s combat power was formidable, he was also adaptable. Seeing the Demon Cultivator attempting to escape through his side, he quickly altered the stance of his saber, weaving a melancholy essence through his strikes.
Chilly autumn winds and falling leaves, dew turning to frost—this was the Sword Intent Yin Beifeng had realized when heartbroken in his early years.
Time had changed, and it had been millennia since he had moved past those days and hardly used this saber technique. Yet now, when applied, it perfectly entangled Elder Mie Jue, who was trying to use a secret technique to escape.
Meanwhile, the youth, thrown dozens of miles away by Elder Mie Jue, had just steadied himself. Seeing that the Elder was in combat with a Heavenly Immortal from the Beast Taming Sect and unable to ensure his safety, he dared not stay longer and turned to flee in the opposite direction of the Beast Taming Sect’s main force.
The Heavenly Immortals disdained to personally deal with such a minor demon, sparing him no glance, allowing the youth to harbor some hope of escape.
