Master of Strange Dao

Chapter 1771: Chapter 478: The Blood-Red Path, Collective Devilic Transformation (11k)_7

August 13, the West Qian army, fully prepared, set out to attack for the first time.

The soldiers who had already been affected became arrogant and restless. Hidden beneath the army’s Evil Qi, a hint of Demonic Qi was already intermittently visible.

August 14, the Daqian Army collided with the Dragon Elephant Army on a plain.

At the moment of battle, the formation of the Daqian Army was broken. In the unrestrained torrent of Qi-Blood, numerous cultivators immediately turned to ash on the spot.

This battle was particularly fierce, the most intense since the Dragon Elephant Army began fighting the Daqian forces.

At nightfall, the Blood Moon rose, and under its blood-colored radiance, a wisp of Devil wind appeared out of nowhere on the grim battlefield.

The Devil wind swept across, blowing through the Daqian formation.

The next moment, under the ominous blood-red light, Demonic Qi surged up.

The first Daqian soldier couldn’t hold on any longer, silently and quietly becoming Devilic.

The first soldier to become Devilic had a fierce light in his eyes and shouted hoarsely.

"Even if I become Devilic, I will not retreat a step. This battle, Daqian will surely win!"

A loud roar, a hint of divinity spread, those soldiers exhausted by half a day’s fierce battle, already numb, could make no response, and started to follow blindly in their hearts.

It was just that tiny bit, that became a trigger for a chain reaction.

Under the surging Demonic Qi, those who became Devilic spread like a chain reaction, exponentially.

In one breath, more than a dozen appeared, and after three breaths, it had already spread to hundreds.

After ten breaths, even the strong ones stationed at the rear, under the Blood Moon’s light, their devil thoughts in their Heart Field began to rapidly expand, becoming the master and taking control of the strong ones.

The words of the Devils were subtle and constantly infiltrating their consciousness.

"If this battle is lost, Daqian will completely lose West Qian."

"Anyway, with hungry ghosts present, even if you become Devilic, you can recover later."

"If this battle is won, your family can completely rise to the next level."

"With King Lian ascending the throne, he will surely use you, use your family."

"With Daqian’s national fate blessing, there might still be hope for Tenth Tier..."

With countless people becoming Devilic under the Blood Moon’s blessing, the last straw to break the camel’s back fell.

A Ninth Tier also became Devilic.

In a very short time, the Daqian Army collectively became Devilic. After being suppressed for so many days, there was even a tendency for them to suppress back.

One person’s Devilic state, if the realm power rises, has little impact.

But if everyone gathers into a formation afterwards, and everyone’s power rises by one tier, the overall change would be more than one tier.

The Dragon Elephant Army, invincible as it was, finally couldn’t charge anymore.

On the ground, blood flowed, staining the earth, bones littered the ground, Evil Qi soared, and Demonic Qi gathered into clouds.

In just one two-hour period, the Dragon Elephant Army faced intense obstruction, and suppressed in turn. How could they accept such a thing?

Under the Blood Moon’s light, the blood flowing beneath the ground seemed to be guided by an invisible hand, slowly constructing an ancient rune across the entire battlefield.

Within the Dragon Elephant Army, some whose mental state wasn’t so firm couldn’t help but be influenced, and began to become Devilic.

Just like the Daqian Army, once it started, there was no stopping it.

Jia Shisi stationed at the rear could only watch helplessly as the Demonic Qi rapidly spread across the entire Dragon Elephant Army like an explosion.

A hundred thousand Devilic Body Cultivators formed a formation, even Jia Shisi watching felt shocked. The gathered atmosphere, Qi-Blood mixed with Demonic Qi, fully integrated into one after complete fusion, the sheer momentum stronger than he.

Even Jia Shisi himself felt devil thoughts uncontrollable growing in his Heart Field, the devil thoughts itching to move.

With a thought, the Heavenly Blade turned into a phantom and fell into his heart, forcibly chopping the formed devil thoughts into pieces.

The devil thoughts regathered, a blade shadow fell again, cutting them apart, continually cycling in this way.

Jia Shisi raised his head to gaze at the Blood Moon nearing full, knowing that indeed things had gone terribly wrong.

He could only control it, yet couldn’t completely solve the Devilic issue.

And the battlefield, already completely out of control, all were fighting to the death, regardless of life.

The Demonic Qi, Evil Qi, and Qi-Blood grew ever stronger.

Just then, at the Dragon Elephant Army’s camp, ripples spread slowly from the Yang-destroying Devil’s tablet.
