Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme C.367 - 242: Centennial_2

Chapter 367: Chapter 242: Centennial_2

“With such formidable power, why hasn’t he annihilated the Holy Blood Demon Sect?”

“He is able to suppress all the cultivators in the world, yet he cannot destroy the Holy Blood Demon Sect. Could there be some shady secret involved?”

Muttering to themselves, they scoffed coldly and mockingly, but in the end, no one dared to speak out loud.

The high-minded discussions continued.

“With a hundred years of support from the Four Sects, the numbers required for Corpse Resolution should be complete by now, right?”

“It’s uncertain whether the White Jade Capital will ascend with the Seven Sects together.”

“If the White Jade Capital were to ascend along with the Seven Sects, the situation in the world would be…”

“Ascending as a whole sect is not that easy. In addition to the power of Corpse Resolution, one must also use the merits from slaying demons to settle karmic debts with heaven and earth.”

“I’ve heard that White Jade Capital has already reached an agreement with the Corpse Resolution Seven Sects. They will soon attack the nine great Demon Realms, just like how they ended the Dark Chaos in the past, cleansing the demonic currents throughout the world and using the complete merit to settle karmic debts and ascend.”

“The nine great Demon Realms aren’t so easy to defeat, not to mention the Holy Blood Demon Sect creating obstacles!”

“That Blood Demon is indeed powerful, as he managed to escape from the seal of White Jade Capital, causing the Holy Blood Demon Sect to revive from its ashes!”

“If the White Jade Capital and the Seven Sects were to ascend, leaving the Blood Demon alone in the human realm, wouldn’t that be…”

At this point, the atmosphere became increasingly tense.

Suddenly…

“Roar!!!”

A loud roar shocked the air, making the hundred islands tremble.

“What’s…”

“What happened?”

“Black Tortoise State?!”

Everyone was startled and looked over to see at the center of the hundred islands, where the deity resided, a spirit shadow emerging, with a dragon’s head and a turtle’s back, and a snake body coiled around – it was the Black Tortoise.

On the back of the Black Tortoise, vague figures could be seen, not knowing how many people it was carrying. Its four legs treaded on the void as it flew away through the sky.

“Is that…”

“The Black Tortoise Divine Ship!”

“Is there another move from the White Jade Capital?”

“Judging by this direction, could it be heading for Chen Country?”

“I wonder which family has committed a taboo this time.”

“Could it be the Holy Blood Demon Sect?”

As they watched the shadow of the Black Tortoise flying away, everyone firmly believed it was yet another topic of debate.

The Black Tortoise’s four legs treaded on the void, seemingly slow but moving swiftly, quickly crossing the sea boundary and entering the territory of Chen Country.

…

In Chen Country, at Hundred Beast Mountain, a fierce battle was underway.

Within the forest, the land was soaked in crimson blood.

The Demon Realm had formed. The blood flowed furiously, with countless demon shadows overlapping. Some had human forms, and some took the shape of beasts. Regardless of their appearances, all were entangled in crimson, with a profusion of flesh growing on them, caught in a state between human and beast.

In the center of the blood flow, there stood an object, clearly a tree made of flesh and blood, lavish with branches and dripping with blood-red color.

At the crown of the tree, among the branches, hung numerous heads. Emerging from the flesh and blood composing the tree trunk in the center were faces with distinct features, appearing merciful and compassionate, as they chanted, “Amitabha, Prajna and Mara, our demons are merciful, delivering all sentient beings…”

The Brahma Sound echoed along with the devil’s enticements.

“Evil spawn!”

“Die!”

Two fierce shouts rang out like swords, bursting forth amidst the blood flow.

The force of justice was immense, its edge ice-cold, attempting to break through the encirclement and carve out a path for survival.

“Plop, plop, plop!”

However, countless bloody demon objects flung themselves forward, regardless of life or death, intercepting and blocking the force of the righteous sword.

“Damn it!”

Seeing this scene, the faces of a dozen or so cultivators on a stranded Flying Boat Magic Artifact in the stream of blood couldn’t look more terrible.

The dozen or so cultivators, all wielding swords with a flow of righteousness emanating from them, were certainly disciples of the Haoqi Sect.

They stood on the Flying Boat, looking at the surging blood flow surrounding them and the blood-flesh tree in the center, their faces filled with ugliness and a hint of despair. ƒгeewebnovёl.com

Who would have imagined that a routine mission would fall into such an ambush, trapped so deep into peril?

Bloody Demon Realm!

“The Demon Realm has formed, by our own strength alone, we cannot break out of the encirclement!”

“Hold firm and wait for reinforcements; the Sect will soon notice.”

“With the Supreme Elder and Sect Master both at the Sect, as long as they come to our aid, this Demon Realm will surely be broken.”

Seeing that the encirclement was difficult to break, the two leading Golden Core cultivators gritted their teeth, no longer exerting their strength to attack fiercely. Instead, they maintained their formation and stood their ground, waiting for reinforcements.

The blood surged ferociously, and the shadow of demons was heavy, with a large number of bloody demon creatures charging in, only to be ground into pieces by the Haoqi Sword Formation.

For a moment, the situation was at a standoff.

Just at this moment…

“Roar!!!”

The sound of a dragon’s roar thundered through, causing ripples to rise in the void, turning into roaring waves.

“Plop, plop, plop!”

The bloody demon shadows exploded one after another, the blood flow began to steam and shrink, drying up.

The blood-flesh tree was also affected, its features twisted in agony. The Brahma Sounds and devil enticements were abruptly halted.

“Roar!”

The void trembled, and the Black Tortoise arrived, pressing down into the Demon Realm. Its four feet stamped on the blood flow, and swords of light descended like rain, slaughtering the crimson demons.

“The White Jade Capital?”

“Black Tortoise Palace!”

“This…”

Seeing the assistance came from the Black Tortoise, the members of the Haoqi Sect were also somewhat surprised.

But at this moment, there was no time to think too much, and they immediately activated the sword formation, joining forces to slay the demon object.

Everyone exerted their strength.

The Black Tortoise True Spirit also took action, opening its mouth to emit a mysterious light, which sprayed directly towards the Blood Flesh Tree.

“Boom!”

A loud explosion thundered, and lightning fractured, causing the Blood Flesh Tree to shake violently as if it couldn’t bear the Five Elements Divine Thunder.

“Roar!”

The Black Tortoise let out a roar, and with increased mana, lightning burst around its body, ready to launch a lethal attack.

But unexpectedly…

“Bang!!!”

With a clanging sound, the Black Tortoise trembled greatly, with lightning exploding all around it and a scarlet blood light on its back.

A demon blade, resembling a blood scorpion, emerged from the void and cleaved heavily onto the shell, severely injuring the Black Tortoise.

The Black Tortoise cried out in pain, struggling to support its body and once again emitted a Kui Water Divine Thunder.

However, with a flick of the blood scorpion’s tail, the demon blade struck, shattering the divine thunder.

After breaking the divine thunder, with its momentum unabated, the demon blade slashed towards the Black Tortoise’s head.

In that instant…

“How dare this demon run amok!”

A stern shout, a Haoqi Long breath descended from the heavens.

“Bang!!!”

With a clanging sound, the demon blade shattered, and the blood scorpion was obliterated.

A man descended from the sky, with two fingers joined like a sword, releasing another Haoqi, shooting towards the Blood Flesh Tree.

“Boom!!”

Another loud noise, the Haoqi pierced through, exploding the Blood Flesh.

The scarlet blood flow also receded like a tide, quickly evaporating and withering away.

In the end, the blood disappeared, the Demon Realm collapsed, and the survivors woke from their nightmare as if they had just awakened from a dream.

“Supreme Elder!”

The members of the Haoqi Sect woke up astonished, looking at Meng Fuyao who had arrived just in time, their joy beyond words.

Meng Fuyao did not pay attention, just glanced at the Black Tortoise healing its blade wound, then soared away on his sword.

…

Moments later, on the Righteous Qi Peak of Haoqi Sect!

His sword light returned, descending atop the peak, revealing Meng Fuyao once again.

“Master!”

Li Qiankun approached: “How did it go?”

“Bluffing, a feint to lure the tiger away from the mountain!”

Meng Fuyao shook his head, then looked towards Xu Yang: “Indeed, just as Fellow Daoist had expected.”

Xu Yang smiled, neither confirming nor denying: “To feign weakness when strong, and strength when weak, even if by chance, it is a variable.”

“Exactly!”

Meng Fuyao nodded, asking: “Is the Blood Demon still cowering in the Demon Realm, not showing himself?”

“If I don’t move, he naturally will not come out.”

Xu Yang glanced into the distance, eyes piercing through the heavens: “He wants to lure the tiger away from the mountain, and I want to draw the snake out of its hole, but alas… No matter, if he does not come out, I will go to him.”

“This…”

Hearing this, Meng Fuyao frowned: “Fellow Daoist truly intends to attack the Demon Realm?”

“Of course, for real.”

Xu Yang said with a light laugh: “By doing so, not only do we complete the merit for all, but we also test the foundation of this demon root, serving two purposes with one deed, why not do it?”

“This… Alright then!”

Hearing his words, Meng Fuyao had no other objections and could only nod: “When will it be set?”

“How about in three months?”

“Three months?”

“Then it shall be in three months!”

In just a few words, they had set the time.

Xu Yang did not say more: “Then that’s settled!”

With those words, he turned and left, his sword soaring through the clouds, disappearing without a trace.

Behind him, Meng Fuyao stood silently, his expression grave.

Although many things had happened in these hundred years, for them, only one thing was truly important.

The resurrection of the Blood Demon!

The Blood Demon had actually resurrected?

How did it resurrect? Was there a flaw in the half a Blood Seed that was sealed, or did he leave a contingency beforehand?

No one knew, but he had indeed resurrected.

With the resurrection of the Blood Demon, the Holy Blood Demon Sect, which had been almost obliterated by the White Jade Capital along with the Five Viscera Elixir Skills, had also been reignited and had been taking frequent actions, both overtly and covertly in opposition to the White Jade Capital and the Corpse Resolution Seven Sects.

Thus, there was today’s pretense and stratagem of luring the tiger away from the mountain.
