Chapter 699: The Storm Arrives, Luo Chen Reappears
Chapter 699: The Storm Arrives, Luo Chen Reappears
In the Cloud Sea Square.
The long-standing dual-blood battle, which had been going on for over a decade, was gradually reaching its climax.
Yan Man Mo Luo and Ji Yuan Lao Dao joined forces to fight against Xue Shan Ren, and although they were initially at a disadvantage, with the help of a blood sword that was almost a Spirit Treasure, they gradually turned the tide.
Clang!
The sword light slashed down, creating countless illusions, and amidst the layers of overlapping shadows, it struck the true body.
Xue Shan Ren's body was directly split in half.
But in an instant, it merged back together.
Yan Man Mo Luo's face turned slightly grim upon witnessing this.
"Blood Sea Demon Body!"
"I never expected that you, an outsider, not only cultivated a Nascent Soul Stage Blood Divine Son but also achieved the immortal and indestructible Blood Sea Demon Body!"
Xue Shan Ren's face paled, and he looked at the blood sword in his opponent's hand with extreme caution.
At his peak, with four Blood Divine Sons protecting him, he had no fear, even when facing late-stage Great Masters.
But this sword!
Taking a deep breath, he shook his long whip, and a crackling sound reverberated through the air.
Yan Man Mo Luo glanced at it and sneered, "The Blood Kiss Demon Whip, forged with our sect's techniques, may have the ability to absorb blood and transform it into energy, but its main material is too inferior, and the refining time was too short. It's just a mediocre treasure, how can it be a match for this God-Slaying Blood Sword?"
If the Old Fisherman, Luo Chen, and the others heard his evaluation, they would surely be appalled.
This whip was forged using three types of living beings as the main materials.
They were the fifth-rank Blood Vine, the fourth-rank Soul-Locking Ghost Crow's inner core, and a Wild Beast, the Chi Wen, which contained a trace of True Dragon bloodline.
It encompassed three aspects: intelligent spirits, demons, and wild beasts.
It consumed countless resources and manpower at the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly to barely refine it.
But in Yan Man Mo Luo's eyes, it was so inferior.
Xue Shan Ren did not refute this.
The other two main materials were not of poor quality, but the Wild Beast Chi Wen contributed by the Old Fisherman was too weak.
It was said to have been obtained from a fake Dan cultivator who wanted to join the Ten Thousand Immortals Assembly. How powerful could a beast be if it was controlled by a fake Dan cultivator? Therefore, during the refining process, the three main materials failed to form a stable structure, resulting in a discrepancy between its power and expectations.
However!
"Even as a mediocre treasure, it's more than enough to defeat you!"
Xue Shan Ren clenched his palm behind him, and in the next moment, the Blood Divine Son who was entangled with Fei Leng Xian Zi was struck by her move. Ignoring his injuries, he flew towards Xue Shan Ren.
Seeing this, Yan Man Mo Luo's face changed slightly.
"Stop him, he's about to merge with the Blood Divine Son!"
The Blood Sea branch of the Yuan Mo Sect had many powerful techniques.
The most famous among them was the ability of those who cultivated the Blood Sea Demon Body to merge with the Blood Divine Son they had refined with their own mental power, doubling their power!
The reason Xue Shan Ren could roam the North Sea without fear, even facing late-stage Great Masters while being at the middle stage of the Nascent Soul Stage, was that at his peak, he had four Blood Divine Sons at the Nascent Soul Stage protecting him.
Merging with one would double his power, but if all four Blood Divine Sons merged simultaneously, his strength would undergo a heaven-shaking transformation!
Now, although Xue Shan Ren had lost three Blood Divine Sons, the three on Yan Man Mo Luo's side were inherently weaker than him, and their slight advantage was solely due to their numerical superiority and the pseudo-spirit treasure, the God-Slaying Blood Sword.
If he were allowed to merge with the Blood Divine Son...
"It's too late!"
With a low shout, Xue Shan Ren's body trembled, and dense blood light erupted from him.
As his hair and beard fluttered in the wind, he glared fiercely at the enemies closing in from three directions.
At this critical moment, he smiled sinisterly and lashed out with his whip!
Crack!
The void trembled, and for a moment, it seemed as if crows were cawing and evil dragons were roaring.
The Blood Kiss Demon Whip was powerful, but when the God-Slaying Blood Sword slashed through the air, it easily severed the whip, yet it couldn't stop the strange howling.
In an instant.
Yan Man Mo Luo staggered as if struck by a heavy blow and fell to the square, emitting a deep reverberation.
Boom! Boom!
Xue Shan Ren unleashed two consecutive palms, blasting Ji Yuan Lao Dao and Fei Leng Xian Zi away with overwhelming force. He then looked down at Yan Man Mo Luo, who was lying on the square.
Countless resentful ghosts and evil spirits emerged from Yan Man Mo Luo's body, starting to devour him.
Although a large amount of blood light surged back, attempting to suppress these resentful ghosts and evil spirits summoned by the Blood Kiss Demon Whip, it was to no avail.
Seeing this, Xue Shan Ren, who was about to pursue, froze.
"Backlash of resentful spirits, reversal of demonic energy..."
He seemed to have realized something and suddenly burst into laughter.
"Haha, I thought the rules of the Holy Land were like heavenly decrees. Yet, there's someone who dares to attempt the merging of the three bloodlines, defying the ancestral teachings and committing a great taboo."
After laughing, his face turned cold.
"I'll take the power of the Blood Sea Old Ancestor!"
Then, he swooped down and struck Yan Man Mo Luo's head with his palm.
A powerful force, beyond Yan Man Mo Luo's control, was forcibly extracted and flowed towards Xue Shan Ren's body.
Nearby, Ji Yuan Lao Dao and Fei Leng Xian Zi watched this scene with reverence, too intimidated to step forward.
Not far away, a group of powerful cultivators silently observed, not daring to disturb.
Suddenly!
Xue Shan Ren looked up at the sky.
In the Bright Enlightenment Fourteen Palaces, a faint light dimmed.
Hum...
Amidst the dull sound, the doors of a palace slowly opened.
Then, a graceful figure stepped out.
This figure, looking down from above, seemed like a fairy from the moon palace, mockingly observing the mortals below.
First, it was the familiar Xue Shan Ren, and then her gaze fixed on Fei Leng Xian Zi.
The other trembled, instinctively lowering her head.
"So, my dear sister has also arrived..."
Yue San Ren's playful voice gradually grew somber, her brows furrowed as she unconsciously glanced towards the Dan Dian, the closest to the Nu Dian.
There, an eerie and incomprehensible power had pierced through the suppression of the grand hall, slowly expanding outward.
This power was imperceptible to others.
Only she, who had received the complete Nu Dao inheritance from Lian Tian Mo Jun, could vaguely sense a hint of it.
"Could it be the treasure cauldron that the Artifact Spirit mentioned, even more powerful than the Wan Shou Tu?"
...
Inside the Dan Dian.
Time seemed to stand still.
Blood beads floated in mid-air.
Chunks of shattered flesh spread out evenly.
Fragments of broken bones were arranged in the four directions.
As time passed, Tian Xuan, who was filled with a sense of death, gradually noticed something amiss.
"Master, it seems he's not dead yet?"
Hei Wang, who was immersed in grief and liberation, was stunned.
"How is that possible? The slave seal on my divine soul has already been released."
For cultivators and spirit pets, unless they have signed a life-and-death contract, the contract restrictions will automatically be lifted when one party perishes.
It was for this reason that Tian Xuan had previously concluded that Luo Chen had already fallen.
But at this moment!
Tian Xuan hesitated, recalling the days and nights of training with Luo Chen in her mind.
She had just lost the master's perception, but his aura remained lingering, as if the robust man's vitality was still breathing by her side.
No!
It wasn't breathing!
It was a heartbeat! Thump! Thump! Thump!
Among the countless pieces of flesh, a fresh red heart was vigorously beating.
Amidst the chilling sound of the heartbeat, a strange phenomenon appeared.
The blood beads began to gather, the shattered flesh sprouting, and the broken bones wriggling as they attempted to reconnect.
"Could it be...?" Hei Wang's eyes darted, and from his inherited memory, he vaguely recalled something.
It was a legend of an ancient beast, immortal and indestructible, capable of rebirth from a single drop of blood.
Whoosh!
The giant banana fan, held by Tian Xuan, suddenly expanded, blocking Hei Wang's path.
Seeing this, Hei Wang became furious, "Tian Xuan, what are you doing?"
Tian Xuan turned coldly, "It's not about what I'm doing, but what you're thinking!"
"I... I..."
Hei Wang's voice was disjointed, and his hideous dragon face flushed with a human-like shame.
Tian Xuan stared at him coldly, her tone becoming more stern.
"The master has been kind to me, and even more so to you. He has bestowed upon you the Imperial Flow Essence, the inner pill of a demon beast, treasures, and pills. He even helped you unlock your inheritance and gave you the body of the Yuan Ying snake that failed to advance."
"Even though our slave seals with him have disappeared, he is still our master!"
"I advise you to stop having those thoughts."
Hei Wang was enraged, "Don't slander me! I, Hei Wang, am loyal to my master!"
"You still remember your name, Hei Wang! Even this name was given to you by the master." Tian Xuan held the Jiu Feng Ba Jiao Shan, and her cultivation power seemed to be pouring out, "I'll say this once, unless you kill me, I won't let you take a step closer to the master!"
Hei Wang was both angry and ashamed.
Angry at his companion's disdain and ashamed of his momentary disloyal thoughts.
As he was about to explain, his pupils constricted.
Tian Xuan also noticed the change.
Behind them, within the grand hall, the blood, flesh, and bones were attempting to reassemble.
But!
It was an extremely difficult process.
Suddenly.
A surging power began to gush forth from the shattered flesh and bones.
It was a crimson power.
Although it was an eerie blood color, it did not carry any evil or arrogant aura, as if it originated from the very essence of life.
As this crimson power permeated, it gradually enveloped all the blood and flesh.
In an instant, the speed of reassembly abruptly accelerated!
Not only that.
During this process, a frail golden flame instinctively bloomed, slowly burning every newly formed part of the body.
As the burning continued, the new flesh not only avoided turning charred but instead became subtly ethereal.
However, the golden flame was ultimately too weak.
As it burned, it grew fainter, revealing a trembling green fire tree.
Just as the golden flame was about to be completely extinguished, the green fire tree stirred, and countless branches covered a golden light, swallowing it whole.
"Nirvana!"
A familiar voice resonated in the hearts of the two demons, echoing loudly within the grand hall.
Countless pieces of blood, flesh, and bones obeyed this command, instantly merging into one.
As the blood light filled the hall, a robust, naked figure gradually emerged.
At the same time.
The nearby cauldron, as if sensing something, began to tremble.
Luo Chen, having completed his physical Nirvana, remained seated on the ground with his eyes tightly shut.
A repressed, volatile power was stirring within his body.
Suddenly!
The cauldron rose from the ground, rushing towards the dome! It seemed as if it wanted to distance itself from Luo Chen, who was currently exuding a powerful aura.
This was the lingering effect of the battle between Lian Tian Mo Jun and Qi Xia Yuan Jun! Luo Chen, using Qi Xia Yuan Jun's cultivation method, had completed his physical Nirvana in front of the Lian Tian Ding, and the residual Artifact Spirit's consciousness could not tolerate this.
Even without considering the Demon Lord's inheritance, it would never allow Luo Chen to obtain it.
However, by doing so, the sealing power of the Ashen Glow would be dispersed.
A loud rumble reverberated.
The Heaven Forging Cauldron shattered the hall and soared towards the sky.
Outside.
The Moon Scatterer was the first to react, and a white jade plate appeared in her hand, covering the black cauldron.
Feiyunzi, in the Cloud Sea Square, was overjoyed.
"It's a Spirit Treasure!"
Without a moment's hesitation, he flew towards the Heaven Forging Cauldron while also offering a net-like treasure, attempting to collect the black cauldron.
The others, except for the Blood Scatterer who was devouring the Blood Nightmare Demon's power, also started to move.
However!
"Something's wrong!"
The Moon Scatterer's face changed slightly, and within her heart, she heard the warning voice of the Spirit Beast Map's treasure spirit.
Instinctively, she retreated.
She even abandoned the white jade plate.
The others were a little slower to react.
Suddenly, a deafening explosion shook the heavens!
Bang!
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, above the Bright Enlightenment Fourteen Palaces.
The badly damaged black cauldron exploded with a loud rumble!
Even though the Heaven Forging Cauldron was once a Spirit Treasure that connected to the heavens and was now badly damaged and unmoved by anyone, at the moment of its destruction, it still unleashed unparalleled might.
The powerful explosion formed an unstoppable Yuan Qi storm, sweeping through Bright Heaven!
"I can't protect you anymore." The black-robed Yuan Yinger muttered, retreating frantically and no longer paying attention to Moyun Cave Master.
Allowing himself to be annihilated into dust in the storm.
The Sea Corner Heavenly Mother's expression was anxious. She not only summoned a turtle shell shield but also transformed into her true form, forcibly resisting the terrifying storm.
Feiyunzi rushed forward the fastest and received the greatest impact. Not only did his net-like treasure shatter instantly, but countless fragments flew towards him.
His eyes were filled with madness, and he opened his mouth to release a round bead that enveloped him.
But even that round bead was shattered inch by inch in the storm.
"This is a precious treasure I obtained from the Artifact World with great difficulty, comparable to a Spirit Treasure!"
Amidst his endless heartache, he continuously released the treasures he had accumulated over the years, trying to withstand this terrifying storm.
In the square.
The Blood Scatterer frowned and had to forcefully interrupt his actions.
Beneath him, the Blood Nightmare Demon, having caught its breath, grasped the God-Slaying Blood Sword with one hand.
"Get out of here!"
Then, he released all the remaining power of the Blood Sea Old Ancestor.
The other two also took action.
The Jade Cold Fairy unfolded a painting, a portrait depicting the side profile of a woman.
The Silent Origin Elder offered a heavy treasure he had taken from the sect for this trip, defending himself.
In the face of the terrifying storm formed by the Spirit Treasure's explosion, everyone exerted their utmost to ensure their safety.
And in the center of the explosion, below the black cauldron, in the Pill Hall.
Numerous arrays activated on their own, layer upon layer of spiritual light enveloped the area.
But under the onslaught of the storm, these protective arrays were shattered one after another.
Amidst the endless waves, Tianxuan desperately fanned the Nine Wind Banana Fan, trying to create a safe space for Luo Chen.
However, under that vast might, such actions seemed futile.
Just then.
A black shadow darted behind them.
"Black King, what are you doing!" Tianxuan's eyes widened in anger as he watched Black King swallow Luo Chen, who had just barely reassembled his body, in one gulp, and then sweep Tianxuan away with his tail to the corner of the palace's pillar.
After that, Black King roared angrily towards the sky.
However, the once-thunderous dragon's roar was inaudible amidst the rumbling storm.
After a long time.
The storm gradually subsided.
In the Bright Enlightenment Fourteen Palaces, only thirteen palaces remained, hanging high in the void like stars.
The once-brilliant Pill Hall was now in ruins, with tall purple jade pillars collapsed, and precious debris floating in the vast cloud sea like fine sand, gently falling with the soft breeze.
Crack!
Footsteps echoed in the corner of the ruined palace.
Tianxuan, who had transformed into his true form, lay there, his disheveled blue feathers covered in terrifying blood.
Incredibly weak, he forced his eyes open, and a figure was reflected in his gaze.
"Master...Master?"
"Hmm."
With a light hum, Luo Chen took the Profound Dust Armor from her hand and put it on, then turned to look at the pitiful black dragon curled up on the ground.
Once nearly a hundred zhang in size, it now barely existed.
A demon pill faintly glowed within its visible flesh cave, emitting a faint light.
"You've worked hard."
Luo Chen pinched a spiritual seal, placing the severely injured Tianxuan and the life-or-death unknown Black King into the Spirit Beast Bag.
Then, with calm eyes, he looked towards the sky.
There, a gray light quietly drifted through the clouds.
And another figure, stumbling and staggering, swam upstream towards the gray light.
"Hmph!"
Luo Chen coldly snorted and stomped on the palace floor.
Instantly, a booming sound reverberated!
With that stomp, the already damaged palace completely collapsed.
But Luo Chen's figure, starting late but arriving first, crossed a distance of hundreds of zhang and stood before the gray light sealed by the Heaven Forging Cauldron's treasure spirit.
He turned around and punched! Mountain-Busting Technique! With just one punch, the attacker was sent flying back even faster.
Luo Chen's gaze was cold and stern as he silently stared at the gray light in front of him.
"This belongs to me!"
