’If this continues, I’m afraid the Spiritual Qi surging from the Resentment Demon Bead will make me explode...’
’The only way is to nourish and refine my Life Talisman, allowing my Qi Sea to constantly expand so it can accommodate more Magical Power.’
With a thought, the Resentment Demon Bead stopped gushing Spiritual Qi and slowly sank to the bottom of his Qi Sea, growing quiet.
Fang Cheng could clearly sense a massive amount of Spiritual Qi accumulating within the Demon Bead.
If he wished, the Demon Bead could resume gushing Spiritual Qi at any moment.
’After this is over, I’ll need to set aside some time for seclusion to nourish my Life Talisman.’
Having figured out the changes in his Qi Sea, Fang Cheng’s mind calmed.
He now understood why the founding ancestor of the Yinluo Sect had left such a forbidden land for his descendants.
First came the Earth Abyss, then came the Yinluo Sect.
For the Yinluo Sect, the endless aberrations in this Earth Abyss were no less than a mine containing a vast wealth of cultivation resources.
...
At the bottom of the giant pit.
Passing through a thick layer of crimson clouds, the view suddenly opened up.
A pitch-black land stretched out, boundless and unending.
Dense hordes of aberrations were gathered on the ground, currently being swept up by a thick, churning cloud of Demon Smoke and rising toward the sky.
Beneath the Demon Smoke, four toads the size of small hills crouched on the ground, their eight large eyes fixed on a figure atop a massive boulder.
It was a man clad entirely in black robes, his face completely obscured.
These four Demon Toads were all Tier Three, their bodies surging with astonishing Demonic Qi.
They originally dwelled in the bottom three levels of the lower Earth Abyss, but not long ago, they were subjugated by the black-robed man before them. He led them and numerous other aberrations to break through several barriers of the Earth Abyss in one fell swoop, arriving at the fourth level.
The black-robed man quietly watched the Demon Smoke ascend and spoke slowly in a strange tone, "All living beings possess a demonic nature. Allow me... to deliver them all through demonism."
As his voice fell, all the aberrations on the ground merged into the Demon Smoke, rose to the sky, passed through the crimson clouds, and entered the giant pit.
"Let’s go up as well," the black-robed man said nonchalantly, glancing at the four Tier Three Poisonous Toads.
Hearing this, the four Poisonous Toads straightened up, excitement showing in their eyes.
The black-robed man leaped up and vanished into the roiling Demon Smoke.
The four Poisonous Toads immediately followed.
Inside the giant pit, the black-robed man’s figure slowly emerged. He took a Blood-Colored Bead from his sleeve and tossed it lightly into the air. The bead immediately began to spin, generating a terrifying Devouring Power.
What it devoured was Evil Qi.
The Netherworld Prison Suppression Array had blocked the aberrations for so long and slain countless numbers of them, causing the deathly Evil Qi in the giant pit to become incredibly dense.
At this moment, as the Blood Bead devoured the Evil Qi, the bloody light on its surface grew richer. A blood-red mist churned within it, and upon closer inspection, one would discover that the mist was composed of billions of incredibly profound runes.
The light from the Blood Bead grew ever brighter. The bloody glow penetrated the Demon Smoke and could now be seen by the group of Yinluo Sect Cultivators within the Netherworld Prison Suppression Array.
The black-robed man stood beside the Blood Bead, continuously casting one Spell after another into it.
At a certain point, the Blood Bead, having seemingly devoured enough Evil Qi, suddenly trembled and unleashed an endless torrent of bloody light.
When this bloody light touched the surrounding aberrations, it caused them to undergo a bizarre transformation. Their bodies swelled grotesquely before bursting apart.
In an instant, the aberrations exploded one after another, like overinflated balloons.
The bloody light grew even more intense.
It was as if a Sea of Blood had appeared at the bottom of the giant pit.
The black-robed man stood upon the Sea of Blood and said to the four Tier Three Poisonous Toads, "You too shall enter my Blood Sea Array."
The aura of the black-robed man was only at the Life Talisman Realm, yet the four Tier Three Poisonous Toads seemed to hold him in great fear and awe.
Upon hearing his words, a fanatical gleam flashed in the Poisonous Toads’ eyes. They dropped their resistance to the bloody light, allowing it to surge into their bodies.
A moment later, dense clusters of fleshy tumors erupted all over the four Poisonous Toads’ bodies. These tumors then burst open, and all the potent qi and blood from within the toads gushed into the Sea of Blood.
As the four hill-sized figures disintegrated, the Sea of Blood began to boil violently.
In a short time, the Demon Smoke in the giant pit dissipated completely. All the aberrations had perished in the Sea of Blood, becoming a part of it.
The black-robed man lightly raised his hand, and the Sea of Blood surged upward.
The giant pit, a hundred li in diameter, seemed to have become a spring, from which a tide of bloody light violently gushed forth.
...
Within the Seven Kills Array.
Fang Cheng first saw a piercing point of bloody light appear amidst the thick Demon Smoke at the bottom of the giant pit.
Then, this point of bloody light spread out, transforming into a crimson halo that slowly expanded until it filled the entire bottom of the pit.
Gradually, the vast expanse of Demon Smoke began to dissipate, and the number of aberrations plummeted.
The Yinluo Sect Cultivators all sensed that something was wrong.
Before anyone could react, four astonishing demonic auras appeared at the bottom of the giant pit.
Then, the ball of bloody light exploded, instantly turning an intense, scarlet red, like a real sea of blood.
The Demon Smoke completely vanished, and a Sea of Blood surged upward.
BOOM!!
The Netherworld Prison Suppression Array, like an overturned giant bowl, blocked the Sea of Blood.
Even so, the Grand Array shook violently. Its spiritual light fluctuated, and the massive runes on its restrictive barriers burst forth with blinding radiance.
Inside the array, Fang Cheng was shaken so hard his qi and blood roiled. A sharp pain shot through his soul, and he nearly fell out of the Seven Kills Array’s core.
On the Demon-Exorcising Platform, Cai Li and Xiao Qi had already taken action. The two appeared within the Seven Kills Array, each occupying a position to stabilize the Grand Array.
The same was happening on the other Demon-Exorcising Platforms.
From among the Nine Peaks, numerous Inner Sect Elders acted in unison, pushing the power of the Netherworld Prison Suppression Array to its absolute limit.
Yet, from within the Sea of Blood, a soft chuckle could be heard.
Above the Sea of Blood, orbs of Blood Thunder, each as large as a house, slowly coalesced before striking at the Grand Array.
The power of this Blood Thunder was immense. Just looking at it from a distance made Fang Cheng’s heart pound with fear.
Two of the Blood Thunder orbs shot straight toward the Seven Kills Array. fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
Cai Li stood in the void and let out a soft cry. Within the Seven Kills Array, endless starlight condensed into a hundred-zhang-long sword light, which abruptly slashed toward the two Blood Thunder orbs.
Fang Cheng felt nearly half of his Magical Power being devoured by the array core and funneled entirely into that Star Sword Light.
Looking around, the light from the other six array cores had also dimmed considerably, no longer as dazzling as before.
The Star Sword Light’s slash seemed unremarkable, yet it also appeared to contain infinite variations. The two Blood Thunder orbs had nowhere to hide; it was as if they had delivered themselves right to the blade and were struck down in a single blow!
BOOM!
BOOM!
Two blinding crimson halos appeared before everyone’s eyes.
An astonishing fluctuation of aura expanded through the air as power far exceeding the limits of a Life Talisman Cultivator bloomed across the sky.
At the same time, more Blood Thunder orbs detonated in other directions.
Before everyone could recover, another two Blood Thunder orbs shot rapidly toward the Seven Kills Array.
Cai Li continued to maneuver the sword light to intercept them.
This time, the Blood Thunder’s trajectory was erratic and unpredictable, clearly a defense against Cai Li’s Sword Technique.
Unfortunately for them, how could Cai Li’s Sword Technique be so easily countered?
The Star Sword Light silently split apart and, with a lightning-fast slash, shattered the two Blood Thunder orbs from a distance.
Two crimson halos, each about an acre in size, spread across the sky.
Given the power of this Blood Thunder, it wouldn’t take many—just over ten direct hits on the Netherworld Prison Suppression Array would be enough to shatter it.
The Yinluo Sect Cultivators were all aware of this, so they all took action to intercept the Blood Thunder.
At this moment, the True Disciples were no longer the main players.
The ones truly dominating the battlefield were Late-Life Talisman Stage Elders like Cai Li!
They possessed profound Magical Power, were veterans with immense experience, reacted with incredible speed, and were familiar with the Grand Array’s operations. Thus, for the time being, they managed to destroy all the Blood Thunder.
A new wave of Blood Thunder arrived in the blink of an eye.
Just as everyone’s attention was drawn to the Blood Thunder, the Sea of Blood once again surged, crashing against the Netherworld Prison Suppression Array.
The Grand Array swayed a few times but remained firm and stable.
However, nine bloody shadows were left behind, one on each of the nine Demon-Exorcising Platforms.
Over at the Seven Kills Array, the bloody shadow writhed its way onto the Demon-Exorcising Platform, then slowly "stood" up, taking a humanoid form.
In the blink of an eye, the bloody light had formed into a completely crimson Blood Light Child. It looked up with curiosity, studying the Seven Kills Array.
Within the array, Xiao Qi’s expression turned grim. A simple, ancient-looking Flying Sword shot out in response, slashing straight toward the Blood Light Child.
At that moment, Cai Li was commanding the Grand Array to intercept the Blood Thunder, and the Seven Fierce of the Law Enforcement Hall were assisting her with all their might, leaving them no time to act.
Only he was left to deal with the Blood Child.
