Chapter 565: Blood Demon Reincarnation Method, Total Annihilation, Tianzhu Continent
Deep underground, in a certain cave, the blood in a pool began to twist and churn.
A final blood-colored figure slowly emerged from the pool.
As its face became clear, it was revealed to be none other than Li Motian.
Struggling to free himself from the blood pool, Li Motian fell to the ground, unable to rise.
His aura was incredibly weak, devoid of the power he once possessed as a Core Formation Realm cultivator.
But Li Motian had no time to dwell on this.
At this moment, all he felt was terror.
"Who was that person?"
Recalling Lu Qing’s sword finger earlier, Li Motian still trembled, as if the cutting sword intent still lingered in his mind.
Since obtaining the power of the demonic path, he had never imagined that he would be so thoroughly defeated by another Core Formation Realm cultivator.
More importantly, he could sense that Lu Qing had not used his full strength.
"Damn it, after years of plotting, everything was almost within reach, but it was destroyed by some random stranger!"
Li Motian’s eyes were filled with resentment and hatred.
He had meticulously planned for a long time to gain the trust of Zi Xiao and the others, luring them to this Demon Cultivator’s cave.
Everything had been going smoothly. He had obtained the senior Demon Cultivator’s magic treasure and captured Zi Xiao and the others.
According to his plan, he only needed to throw their bodies into the blood pool.
With their essence blood and souls, he could reshape his body and advance to the late-stage Golden Core realm. His potential would transform, and his chances of achieving the Primordial Spirit realm would greatly increase.
But then, out of nowhere, a powerful and despair-inducing figure appeared, shattering all his plans.
Now, he had lost his body and magic treasure, and his years of cultivation were reduced to nothing.
If not for the soul seed he had planted in the blood pool, allowing him to be reborn through the Blood Demon Reincarnation Method, he would have truly perished.
"Damn you, I will remember you. One day, I will tear you to pieces, extract your soul, and torment you endlessly!"
Years of planning had come to nothing.
The malevolent words, like they emerged from the depths of hell, echoed through the cave.
Li Motian’s hatred was immense.
At this moment, his hatred for Lu Qing even surpassed that for Qian Lingxiao and Gongshu Zheng, who had killed his family and destroyed his hometown.
But then, Li Motian suddenly froze.
A calm voice suddenly said, "Really? I would like to see how you plan to tear me to pieces and extract my soul."
Following this, slow footsteps echoed, and a figure emerged from the darkness, approaching the blood pool.
"It’s you!" Li Motian’s eyes widened in shock. "You didn’t leave? No, how could you possibly find this place!"
Li Motian looked at the person, his eyes filled with disbelief.
The person was dressed in simple clothing, with a strange spirit cat perched on his shoulder.
It was none other than Lu Qing, whom he had just been cursing with hatred.
"This place is not an impenetrable lair. Why wouldn’t I be able to find it?" Lu Qing said coolly.
"Or did you think your incomplete Blood Demon Reincarnation Method could sever all causes and effects and escape everyone’s detection?"
"You know the Blood Demon Reincarnation Method! Who are you?"
Li Motian was utterly shocked.
The Blood Demon Reincarnation Method was a secret technique of the Demon Race, rarely known to others.
The fact that this person not only knew about it but seemed very familiar with it was enough to make him tremble with fear.
"Who I am is none of your concern."
Lu Qing looked at Li Motian with a cold gaze.
"I had thought, given your tragic past, I might spare your life, merely punishing you by destroying your body.
But now, I see that even the pitiful have their hateful side.
Your stubbornness and escalation of evil make you no different from Qian Lingxiao and Gongshu Zheng, who destroyed your hometown.
You have become a demon who disregards life, willing to harm the innocent for your own ends.
Since that is the case, there is no reason to spare your life."
With that, Lu Qing pointed a finger slowly.
His words sent shockwaves through Li Motian’s heart.
"You know about my past. Did Zi Xiao and the others tell you? Who are you?"
But Lu Qing remained silent, his sword finger slowly pointing toward Li Motian’s forehead.
Li Motian tried to dodge, but even at his peak, he was no match for Lu Qing.
Now, just reborn from the blood pool, his strength was a mere fraction of what it once was.
How could he possibly evade Lu Qing’s sword finger?
Under the sword intent, he could not even move a muscle.
Feeling the overwhelming deathly aura, Li Motian was truly terrified.
Although the Blood Demon Reincarnation Method was profound, it was not omnipotent.
For a Core Formation Realm cultivator, it could only be used once.
This meant that if this body died, he would truly perish, with no chance of revival.
Under the shadow of death, Li Motian forgot everything else.
His eyes filled with desperate pleading, "My Lord, please spare me, spare me! I will never dare again, please spare my life!"
But Lu Qing’s resolve was unshakable.
His finger, without hesitation, gently touched Li Motian’s forehead.
The sword intent erupted, and Li Motian’s newly formed body could not withstand it.
It shattered instantly, turning to ashes and disappearing completely.
That sliver of soul and consciousness was also utterly extinguished, with no chance of resurrection.
The cave returned to silence, and the churning blood pool calmed.
"Ah Qing, is this person truly dead now?"
At this moment, Xiao Li, Female, asked.
"Yes", Lu Qing nodded lightly.
His eyes carried a hint of sorrow.
Earlier, when he had caught up to Li Motian and destroyed his spirit, he had sensed something amiss.
Li Motian had a trace of consciousness that had escaped in a bizarre manner.
If not for his keen senses, he might not have detected it.
But at the time, he was tending to the injuries of the several disciples from the Qian Kun Sect, so he did not investigate further.
And from the data strip he had obtained from Li Motian, he learned of some of his experiences.
Deep down, he had hoped to give Li Motian another chance.
However, while healing Zi Xiao and the others, Lu Qing saw the demonic seals Li Motian had planted on them.
He recognized it as an extremely cruel and evil blood sacrifice technique.
The remnant soul of the demon general he controlled had mentioned such a technique to him.
At that moment, he understood that Li Motian had completely fallen to the demonic path.
His actions were not just for revenge.
Or rather, revenge was merely an excuse for his descent into evil.
Now, he had completely fallen into a Demon Cultivator, willing to use any means necessary to gain power.
So, when he bid farewell to the Violet-Clothed Youth and the others, it wasn't just to avoid any ties with the Qian Kun Sect.
There was another reason: to completely eliminate Li Motian.
He knew that with Li Motian's nature, after using the Blood Demon Reincarnation Method to rebuild his physical body, he would surely raid and plunder to quickly regain his strength.
Such actions would bring disaster to the human realms in the vicinity.
"Perhaps, when you first chose the path of Demon Cultivation, it was for revenge.
Unfortunately, you have now been corrupted by the demonic path, completely losing your way."
Looking at the calm, still blood pool, Lu Qing remained silent.
At this moment, he truly understood the terrifying nature of the demonic path.
No wonder in the Heavenly Origin World, the righteous path and the Demon Race were so bitterly opposed, mortal enemies.
After standing silently for a while, Lu Qing suddenly waved his sleeve. In the next moment, a transparent Nanming Flame emerged and fell into the blood pool before him.
An eerie scream, chilling to the bone, echoed through the air.
The seemingly calm blood pool, under the burning of the Nanming Flame, twisted and screamed as if it were a living thing.
Countless bloody sprouts emerged from the pool, trying to extinguish the Nanming Flame.
However, the Nanming Flame, conjured by Lu Qing using the Flame Cauldron, was extremely powerful.
Even a Primordial Spirit might not dare to let it burn unchecked.
Though the blood pool was bizarre, it could not withstand the refining power of the Nanming Flame.
In the end, after a brief struggle, the bloody sprouts subsided.
The entire blood pool rapidly evaporated and dried up.
But Lu Qing did not stop there.
With a wave of his hand, more Nanming Flame appeared from the void, falling onto various parts of the underground cavern.
The Nanming Flame's power was immense, burning everything in its path, making it the bane of demonic artifacts.
Soon, the entire cavern was burning.
When Lu Qing returned to the surface, the sun was setting.
"Ah Qing, where are we going now?"
"Eastward. I heard from Old Man Qiao that in the Tianzhu Continent to the east, there is a vast divine mountain filled with numerous mystic realms and opportunities.
Many sects and countless cultivators gather there.
I need a variety of cultivation techniques as references to create the subsequent techniques for my own cultivation path.
Let's go there and see if we can find some opportunities."
Lu Qing said.
"The Tianzhu Continent?"
Xiao Li, Female's eyes lit up with excitement.
While in the caravan, Old Man Qiao had described the divine mountain in the Tianzhu Continent, and she had been listening in Lu Qing's arms.
Hearing they were going there, she was filled with anticipation.
After all, according to Old Man Qiao, the divine mountain was filled with treasures.
You might even find a rare treasure by kicking a stone on the roadside.
As a Black Night Spirit Leopard with a special sensitivity to treasures, how could she not be excited?
"Ah Qing, let's hurry. I heard the Tianzhu Continent is quite far from here!"
"Alright, let's set off now."
Lu Qing smiled and transformed into a stream of light, heading eastward.
This time, they truly left.
As Lu Qing headed east toward the Tianzhu Continent, the Violet-Clothed Youth and the others finally returned to the Qian Kun Sect after a hurried journey.
After returning to the sect, Ye Shijie did not immediately report Li Motian's situation.
Instead, after giving some instructions to the Violet-Clothed Youth and the others, she sought out her master.
"You say Li Motian is a Demon Cultivator, and that he invited you on this journey for his own purposes?"
Ye Shijie's master, one of the Supreme Elders of the Qian Kun Sect, Mo Xuan Dao Ren, was greatly alarmed when he heard her report.
"That's right. Li Motian has long fallen into the demonic path, his demonic arts are bizarre and powerful, and we were no match for him.
If not for a powerful stranger who happened to pass by and save us, we would have become Li Motian's demonic sustenance and never returned to see you, Master."
Ye Shijie recalled the events of that day with lingering fear.
"What exactly happened? Tell me in detail!"
Mo Xuan Dao Ren urged her.
"Here's what happened, Master. We accepted Li Motian's invitation to travel...
... Master, you can see, Li Motian's corpse is here."
After recounting the events in great detail, Ye Shijie retrieved Li Motian's corpse from her storage artifact.
"Indeed, he had cultivated demonic arts!"
Seeing Li Motian's altered corpse and the lingering demonic aura, Mo Xuan Dao Ren understood that Li Motian had indeed fallen into the demonic path and become a Demon Cultivator.
However, this realization made his heart grow even more serious.
He asked Ye Shijie, "Have you told anyone else about this?"
"We just returned and haven't reported to the sect yet. I've also instructed Zi Xiao and the others not to spread this news."
"Good, you did the right thing."
Mo Xuan Dao Ren nodded in satisfaction, his disciple was indeed astute.
He then looked at Li Motian's corpse in silence, his expression changing, as if deep in thought.
"Master, we were just friends and didn't live together, so it's understandable that we didn't notice his demonic cultivation.
But Elder Qian Ce, as Li Motian's master, has profound cultivation.
Li Motian was his favored disciple, serving him daily.
Could he not have noticed?"
Ye Shijie, seeing her master's prolonged silence, could not help but speak.
"Be cautious! Do not speak such words lightly."
Mo Xuan Dao Ren was startled and lightly scolded her.
Ye Shijie paused, then said stubbornly, "Master, am I wrong?"
Seeing his disciple's discontent, Mo Xuan Dao Ren sighed.
He instructed her, "This matter is serious. When you go out, do not speak rashly. Leave it to me. Understand?"
Seeing her master's serious expression, Ye Shijie knew the situation was more severe than she imagined.
She nodded, "I understand."
Seeing his disciple take it seriously, Mo Xuan Dao Ren felt reassured.
He continued to look at Li Motian's corpse, and suddenly, an idea struck him.
"Right, you mentioned a stranger who saved you, and he killed Li Motian with a single move?"
"That's correct."
Ye Shijie pointed to the sword mark on Li Motian's corpse's forehead.
"That Chen Daoist used a single sword finger to slay Li Motian."
