Chapter 212: Reactions from All Sides, Reappearance of the Demon
"I can feel it. The bottleneck is loosening."
In Zhongzhou, a powerful sect, a middle-aged man in a purple robe stood atop a mountain peak, his eyes half-closed as he delicately sensed the changes in the world after the disturbance.
"However, it's not enough. This slight shift is not sufficient for me to break through."
The purple-robed man opened his eyes and shook his head, unable to conceal the joy in his eyes.
After all, he had been stuck at the peak of the Innate Realm for countless years, unable to make any progress in his cultivation no matter how hard he tried.
Now that he finally saw a glimmer of hope, how could he not be ecstatic?
After his initial joy, the purple-robed man's gaze turned toward a certain direction, his eyes filled with hatred.
"It is said that the four secret lands have different rules from the outside world, allowing them to break free from the constraints of the world's laws and breakthrough to realms beyond the Innate Realm.
This is why the four secret lands are so shrouded in mystery. Anyone who emerges from them can shake the world and strike fear into the hearts of all sects.
But now, the abnormal changes in the world have begun, and the shackles will soon be broken. At that time, the natural advantage of the four secret lands will no longer exist.
Cloud and Water Secret Realm, one day my Long Tian sect will invade your lands, trample you underfoot, and avenge the theft of my wife!"
Ji State.
In a remote, abandoned village.
A bizarre figure with disheveled hair, a haggard face, and an exceptionally robust body was originally tormenting several young martial artists who were bound and helpless before him.
But upon hearing the nine sounds of heaven and earth, his face lit up with ecstatic joy.
"Hahaha... The sounds of heaven and earth! This world is truly about to revive! I've finally waited for it, I've finally endured until this day!
Heaven has not forsaken me, heaven has not forsaken me! I, the Demon Lord of the Ten Directions in my final reincarnation, did not perish, and I have also waited for such a grand opportunity.
The revival of heaven and earth, the return of spiritual energy, and the absence of the immortal path in this world is my greatest opportunity!"
The bizarre figure laughed wildly, appearing insane. The few young martial artists beside him trembled in fear, not understanding what madness had overtaken this demon.
But the next moment, the bizarre figure turned to look at them.
"With the revival of heaven and earth imminent, I must quickly restore my cultivation to the Innate Realm and truly master the Blood Refining Demon Art. Only then will I have the capital to seize those opportunities."
"Ah! Spare our lives, please spare us!"
The young martial artists cried out in terror at the sight of the blood-red eyes of the bizarre figure.
However, their pleas were in vain as the figure ignored their cries and placed his hand on the head of one of the girls.
As the demon art was activated, strands of blood energy were drawn out and absorbed into his body.
The girl's face contorted in pain, and she rapidly aged before their eyes.
Before long, when the bizarre figure removed his hand, the girl's body slumped to the side, her face withered and lifeless.
"Big sister... save me..."
The girl murmured, her breath fading away.
"Little Junior Sister!!!"
This terrifying scene left the other young martial artists' hearts shattered with fear. Besides their desperate cries, they also felt immense horror.
However, no matter how they struggled, their fate was sealed.
As the bizarre figure's palm struck down again and again, the young martial artists were quickly drained of their vital energy and died.
As the last youth's essence was extracted, he regretted deeply in his final moments.
He knew that he should have heeded his master's teachings and stayed within the sect during these recent days.
Chapter: The Demon's Escape
"I thought that with our combined sword array, we could easily take down this demon and bring glory to our sect."
But who would have thought that this demon was so formidable? In just a few moves, he shattered their formation and captured them, bringing them to this abandoned place to be killed by his sinister arts.
"Junior disciples, I'm sorry..."
The young man murmured, his heart filled with endless regret as he breathed his last.
The bizarre figure, unaffected by the youth's words, showed no change in expression. He had heard similar pleas countless times before.
In his long life, he had done things a hundred times more cruel than this, and the death of a few insignificant insects did not stir his emotions in the slightest.
Sitting cross-legged, he began to cultivate, absorbing the essence he had taken from his victims. However, his brow furrowed as he did so.
"These wastes are truly pathetic. Not one of them had the talent to enhance my constitution, even by a hair's breadth.
It seems that ordinary warriors are of no use to me anymore. Only those once-in-a-century cultivation geniuses can further enhance the talent of this body."
"Yun'er, Yun'er! Where are you?"
As the bizarre figure pondered, a frantic shout interrupted his train of thought.
Recognizing the voice as that of a powerful martial artist in the Innate Realm, he wasted no time and immediately concealed his presence, vanishing without a trace.
At this moment, facing an Innate Realm martial artist would be extremely difficult for him.
His Blood Refining Demon Art was not yet complete, and engaging in a head-on battle could easily put him at a disadvantage.
"Hmph! Once I've perfected my demonic art and broken through, I'll definitely capture a few Innate Realm cultivators and devour them to satisfy my cravings!"
Having been driven away by mere Innate Realm cultivators, the bizarre figure's heart was filled with murderous intent.
"Ah! Demon! I, Li Jiansheng, swear that no matter where you flee, I will hunt you down and slay you with my sword!"
Just after the bizarre figure had left, a heart-wrenching roar echoed through the desolate village.
Hearing this roar from a safe distance, a sneer curled the corners of his mouth.
"The various sects and clans are sending more and more Innate Realm experts, and those genius warriors are hiding within their sects, too afraid to venture out. It's time for me to leave Jizhou; it's no longer a suitable place to stay. But where should I go next?"
Putting the recent events behind him, the bizarre figure continued his musings.
"To further enhance my constitution, I must continue absorbing the essence, blood, and marrow of young genius martial artists, seizing their foundations for my own use.
The young warriors of Jizhou have been scared off by me, and it will take some time before they dare to venture out again. However, the other states are not in such disarray.
I heard that in the neighboring Cangzhou, a true genius martial artist appeared two years ago. At only seventeen years old, he's already ranked high on the Hidden Dragon List.
There are even rumors that he might be the legendary Child of Fortune."
The more the bizarre figure thought about it, the more his eyes glittered with anticipation.
"With the revival of the heavens and earth and the return of spiritual energy, amidst these grand changes, numerous prodigies blessed by fortune will also emerge.
If I can seize the foundations of these exceptional geniuses, I will undoubtedly forge an unparalleled constitution!
With this as my foundation, I will lay the groundwork to become the strongest demonic ancestor! That boy from Cangzhou, I believe his name is Lu Qing.
You will be the first stepping stone on my path to ultimate power!"
