Chapter 191: The Confident Perfected One Blood Demon
Within [Embrace and Guard Mountain].
“This [Blood Demon Island] is truly extraordinary. The suppression force is very strong; even Foundation Establishment Perfected Ones can only fly. It is very difficult to use any teleportation methods.”
Ying Tongshou rode his escaping light, surveying the surrounding environment.
As far as his eyes could see, countless mountains stood tall like a forest, yet not a single person was visible. There were only withered bones scattered all over the ground, as well as various peculiar artifacts.
“Another one!”
Suddenly, Ying Tongshou reached out and grabbed. Soon, he pulled out a pagoda-shaped artifact from the mountain forest. Ghastly white smoke was still continuously drifting out from the pagoda.
Such a harvest made Ying Tongshou beam with joy. This was already the third artifact he had obtained since entering the Secret Realm. Although they were useless to a Foundation Establishment Perfected One like him, they were still very good for rewarding subordinates and winning over people’s hearts. As for artifacts, no one would mind having one more in their hands.
After a short while, Ying Tongshou revealed a look of excitement again.
However, this time, another streak of escaping light flew from the distance and crashed right into him. The figure revealed was none other than the Dao Integration Great Cultivator, Elder Lin.
Meanwhile, in the dangerous land [Soul-Dissolving Valley], meticulously crafted by Lu Yang.
Five Immortal Alliance Dao Integration cultivators, led by Mu Huan, were outside the valley, carefully collecting the [Soul-Dissolving Spirit-Scattering Mind-Seizing Smoke] from within, bit by bit.
“These are all good things.”
Mu Huan sighed with emotion. “Even if we were to be tainted by this smoke, our souls would be utterly confused and disoriented. If we can refine it into an artifact, its power would certainly be extraordinary.”
However, just at this moment, a beam of heavenly light descended.
After the magnificent light dispersed, Lu Yang’s figure was revealed. He glanced at Mu Huan and the others, then nodded in satisfaction. They had taken his treasure.
The Karma was established!
In the next second, Lu Yang executed the Heaven-Deceiving Great Art. The power of Heavenly Punishment, which Perfected One Blood Demon had previously transferred to him using the karma of the [Avici Sword], was instantly transferred by him to Mu Huan and the others through the karma of the [Soul-Dissolving Spirit-Scattering Mind-Seizing Smoke]. In an instant, he felt his Essence, Qi, and Spirit become clear and refreshed.
“What did you do?!”
On the other side, Mu Huan questioned sternly. Although he couldn’t sense the changes in karma or the transfer of the Heavenly Punishment’s power, his intuition told him something was wrong.
“What did I do?”
Hearing this, Lu Yang narrowed his eyes, then assumed an expression of awe-inspiring righteousness. “You people forcibly rob my artifacts, and you still come to question me about what I did?”
“Moreover, you people treat all living beings as materials in the Emerald Sun Cultivation World. Your crimes are heinous. Today, you are suffering Heavenly Punishment. What I am doing is enforcing justice on behalf of Heaven, rooting out the strong and supporting the weak, and killing all you devils!”
Hearing these words, Mu Huan laughed in anger.
“Rooting out the strong and supporting the weak? We are merely overseas rogue cultivators. If you want to root out the strong and support the weak, you should deal with that Sword Cultivator. Why pick on us?”
Lu Yang shook his head. “Because he is too strong.”
One should always pick the soft persimmons to squeeze.
Mu Huan was instantly rendered speechless, but as if thinking of something, he looked at Lu Yang and said with a hint of probing, “Is Your Excellency a cultivator from the Primordial Saint Sect?”
“…”
How did he recognize that? Do I look like a bad person?
Lu Yang looked helpless and simply waved his hand.
“You know too much!”
Zheng, zheng—!
The [Avici Sword] was raised in mid-air, and the sword light slashed down. Seeing this, how could Mu Huan and the others dare to meet it head-on? They immediately tried to flee, only to feel a massive pressure falling upon them.
[Embrace and Guard Mountain]!
In an instant, the suppression force on Mu Huan and the others multiplied several times, causing their movements to stiffen abruptly. They could only watch helplessly as the sword light descended.
Thud!
The sword light wrapped around their necks and turned. The five Dao Integration Great Cultivators instantly turned into headless corpses, their True Qi and flesh completely drained dry.
The excited hum of the [Avici Sword] resounded through the clouds. Seeing this scene, Lu Yang nodded in satisfaction. In his past life, the twelve Dao Integration cultivators had allowed the [Avici Sword] to recover its second Divine Wonder, [Danger Sense]. Now that he killed them again in this life, he wondered if it could recover another Divine Wonder.
Thinking of this, Lu Yang immediately extended his finger and drew a streak of heavenly light.
The light flickered, reflecting all the scenes within [Embrace and Guard Mountain] at this moment. This was his Innate Divine Ability, so naturally, he could completely control its changes.
Moreover, it was precisely because of his secret manipulation that everyone had been forced to separate.
Otherwise, if they all stuck together, he wouldn’t find any opportunity to defeat them one by one. Only by separating them could he hunt them down everywhere like he was doing now.
In the next second, Lu Yang vanished from his spot.
Tonight, he would hunt to his heart’s content!
Center of [Embrace and Guard Mountain], on the real [Blood Demon Island].
In the deepest part of [Blood Demon Island], inside a palace constructed entirely of white bones, lay a bizarre sight that would leave people dumbstruck.
It was a tree, treacherous to the extreme.
The tree’s roots were strips of flesh and blood, its bark resembled human skin, and the leaves on its trunk were pieces of bone that emitted sharp whistling sounds as they swayed.
However, in the next second, this great tree suddenly underwent a new change. At the very top of the tree crown, a strikingly beautiful bright red flower suddenly bloomed. Then, the flower bloomed and withered, quickly bearing fruit. But the appearance of the fruit was unexpectedly an infant with hands and feet, its eyes tightly closed!
“Hmm… I’ve awakened?”
The infant opened its eyes. On that face, which hadn’t even fully developed, a very human-like confusion was visible to the naked eye.
“Why so fast?”
According to his calculations, the Heavenly Punishment on him should have taken at least three more generations of sword masters to be distributed away. Only then could he recover to his current state.
But now, he had actually awakened early!
The Heavenly Punishment had also inexplicably decreased by a large amount.
“Could it be that my luck is good, and the sword master of the [Avici Sword] in this generation is favored by destiny and possesses profound merit, so he can share away more of the Heavenly Punishment?”
Thinking of this, he immediately began to sense the situation.
Soon, the newly awakened Perfected One Blood Demon opened his eyes. Deep confusion revealed itself in the infant’s small eyes, appearing somewhat bewildered.
“Where is this?”
“How did my [Blood Demon Island] become so big?”
Perfected One Blood Demon frowned deeper and deeper, attempting to calculate karma. However, Lu Yang had already used the [Investigating Heaven Instrument] to conceal the heavenly secrets, so naturally, he gained nothing.
Just then, a loud noise suddenly came:
Rumble!
Brilliant Sword Qi charged into [Blood Demon Island]. It was Ye Xingfeng. He was hacking his way through, actually charging straight toward Perfected One Blood Demon’s direction!
“Something’s not right… I’ve been plotted against?”
Perfected One Blood Demon’s expression was ugly. He instantly understood that someone had likely set him up. It seemed the sword master of the [Avici Sword] in this generation was capable.
As a Saint Sect Perfected One of the older generation, Perfected One Blood Demon was no fool. With a little thought, he understood Lu Yang’s plan— This is borrowing a knife to kill a person. While helping me resolve the influence of Heavenly Punishment and sever karma, he’s letting others deal with me, so the fisherman can profit from the snipe and clam fighting?
“He has indeed grasped the true teaching of my Saint Sect… A pity, he is still too young!”
Perfected One Blood Demon’s lips curled up slightly, revealing a look of mockery. “Daring to plot against a Great Perfected One… he truly doesn’t know his place.”
Even if he was currently in the weakest state of his life, not just anyone could plot against him.
Because for a Great Perfected One, what was powerful wasn’t just strength, but stature and background!
Especially for a Saint Sect Great Perfected One like him—there was a Perfected Lord backing him up!
Under these circumstances, who could kill him?
Precisely because of this, even though Ye Xingfeng had already killed his way to the front, and even though he knew he had been plotted against, Perfected One Blood Demon was not panicked at all.
“As long as I release my own karma and stop concealing it, Perfected Lord Hong Yun will immediately sense it. When the time comes and the Perfected Lord takes action, saving me will be as easy as turning over a hand.”
As for the plotting of that Saint Sect junior?
It was just laughable!
