#310 - Blood Dust Appears
As Lou Xueyun cast his incantation, Gold Peak City instantly surged with terrifying power. Altars sprung up like bamboo shoots after a rain, filled with an eerie aura.
Cultivators fell one after another, their bodies exploding, souls scattering, all their power greedily devoured by the altars, transformed into nourishment for their bizarre strength.
Even Core Formation cultivators watching from the sidelines couldn't escape this calamity; the scenes of exploding bodies were horrifying.
In an instant, those altars seemed to possess magic, converting flesh and blood and souls into an unprecedented strange power, with a "buzzing" sound.
Guided by the golden coin sword, ten thousand copper coins disintegrated, turning into a giant rain of copper coins, crashing down towards the depths of the Heavenly Cave, where the Ancient Demon's Law inheritance resided.
The strength of this power caused the face of the Ancient Barren Demon's Law inheritor to change drastically. In shock and horror, he cried out, "This isn't an Ancient Demon technique, where does this heaven-defying power come from?"
Having spoken, his blood and Qi churned, and he spat out fresh blood. His cultivation base rapidly disintegrated at a visible rate. He roared in disbelief, but was powerless to reverse the situation; the power was like a flood, unstoppable, striking straight at the heart.
The inheritor of the Ancient Demon Power, unable to contain his rage, wanted to lend a hand, but was trapped by the combined efforts of three people. Although his armor was strong, it was difficult to escape the entanglement.
The sword array rose again, its light shining brilliantly.
Ancestor Qingyun, not hesitating to injure himself, spat out a mouthful of his life essence, sacrificing blood to the sword. The power of the sword array soared, and he even threw in more than a dozen top-grade spirit stones, its momentum beyond imagination.
At this moment, Ancestor Heavenly Demon exuded an overbearing aura. He grasped in the air, and a Space Blade appeared in response. A dark black iron saber cut through the sky, the spatial ripples wrapped around it causing palpitations, as if it could sever the void, displaying magnificent scenes of spatial power.
Qi Wenlong, the Lord of Qi, although his realm was slightly inferior, his strength was terrifying enough to make the world take notice.
He looked up to the sky and roared, his voice like a dragon's roar, piercing through clouds and splitting rocks. Then, he shouted, "Heaven and Earth Dragon Vein, grant me divine power!"
As he spoke, the earth rumbled, and a huge earth dragon soared from the ground, its momentum so fierce that it almost split Gold Peak City in two.
The earth dragon roared, the wind and clouds changed color, Qi Wenlong stood on the dragon's head, his figure lithe, his hands dancing, chanting in his mouth, "Power of the Dragon Vein, merge into my body, dragon dances in the nine heavens, reversing the universe!"
Before his voice faded, the Imperial Dragon Sword responded, its sword light like lightning, instantly soaring to a hundred zhang in size, wrapped in the power of the Dragon Vein and the majestic power of heaven, pouncing towards the inheritor of the Ancient Demon Power.
The inheritor of the Ancient Demon Power couldn't avoid it, and had to use his armor to withstand it. The sword threads were sharp, piercing through the armor and bones, blood flowing freely, cracks covering the armor.
At this time, the Imperial Heaven Sword descended from the sky, carrying the power to destroy the heavens and extinguish the earth. The inheritor of the Ancient Demon Power fearlessly threw a punch, distorting the space, forming a huge vortex of power.
It collided with the Imperial Heaven Sword with a deafening bang, sword light scattering.
The inheritor of the Ancient Demon Power was also knocked back several zhang, the ground beneath his feet cracking, magma spewing out, a scene of devastation.
Seeing this, Ancestor Heavenly Demon's eyes were deep, his killing intent awe-inspiring. He roared, "Today, I will definitely take your life!"
Having spoken, the hand seals in his hand changed, and he said coldly, "Nine-tailed Demon Fox, spirit of space, listen to my command, sacrifice yourself!"
As soon as his voice fell, a mysterious power crossed time and space, suddenly descending into the space where Li Chengfeng was, enveloping the little fox demon Yaoqi, who was in closed-door cultivation.
The little fox demon Yaoqi was terrified, her life force seemingly being seized by an invisible hand, exploding and transforming into pure spatial power, merging into the soon-to-be-formed Space Blade.
Li Chengfeng witnessed all of this, his heart filled with grief and anger. He used some kind of secret method to clearly display this scene in front of the little fox, letting her see the cold and ruthless true face of Ancestor Heavenly Demon.
Although the nine-tailed little fox demon Yaoqi had not yet completed her cultivation, if her spatial power was fully released and integrated into the Space Blade, it would definitely split the inheritor of the Ancient Demon Power in two, because spatial power is above all things and unstoppable.
At this moment, deep in the soul of the little fox demon Yaoqi, there was both despair and anger towards her master, as well as fear and struggle against the unknown.
The little fox demon Yaoqi looked at Li Chengfeng with tears in her eyes, her eyes filled with fear of the unknown fate and a desire for life.
Li Chengfeng, dressed in white robes that were as white as snow, was like an immortal descending. He softly comforted, "Human hearts are unpredictable, and everything in the world has two sides. Your master, though named master, is actually wicked at heart.
What he uses to control you is the power of intention, which is the soul's shadow, but in front of me, such tricks are nothing more than that."
Having spoken, Li Chengfeng moved, gathering spiritual power in his palm, suddenly turning his palm into a blade, slashing in the air, and shouting, "Soul Severing Technique!"
Following this command, a strange blade light seemed to flash in the void, and the power controlling the little fox demon Yaoqi's self-destruction was instantly severed, dissipating like morning mist into nothingness.
The little fox demon Yaoqi felt the violent power in her body gradually subside, and her soul returned to stability. She was shocked, but even more grateful and awed by Li Chengfeng.
She knelt on the ground with a "plop," her voice choked with sobs: "Thank you, Master, for saving my life! From now on, Yaoqi is willing to go through fire and water for Master, no matter what."
Li Chengfeng smiled slightly and waved his hand gently: "You should cultivate in peace first. When the time is right, I will take you to find that opportunity.
Remember, true power comes from within, not from external objects that can be imposed."
Having said that, his figure swayed, turning into a stream of light, instantly disappearing in place, leaving behind the little fox demon Yaoqi, who was moved.
The little fox demon Yaoqi looked in the direction of Li Chengfeng's departure, her heart surging with unprecedented warmth and determination.
She secretly rejoiced that she was able to meet such a powerful and benevolent master, otherwise, she would probably have died today.
At the same time, Ancestor Heavenly Demon outside suddenly realized that the connection between himself and the little fox had been severed.
He was immediately furious and roared: "Who is it? How dare you destroy my soul shadow technique!"
Although he was furious, he was helpless. The power of the Space Blade in his hand was greatly reduced due to the loss of the little fox's sacrifice.
However, with the arrow on the string, he had to fire. He gritted his teeth and urged the Space Blade with all his strength, tearing open a spatial rift, pointing directly at the inheritor of the Ancient Demon Power.
The inheritor of the Ancient Demon Power felt this sudden life-and-death crisis, and suddenly felt a sense of powerlessness, surging into his heart. Suddenly, the spatial power was reduced by more than half.
He suddenly had the confidence, and the power in his body instantly boiled. He roared, and the power surrounding him seemed to be ignited, turning into a brilliant barrier, forcibly blocking the invasion of the spatial rift.
The collision between the two caused a deafening roar, the space twisted, the light scattered, and finally the powers of both sides were exhausted, exploding and scattering, leaving behind a messy battlefield.
At this critical moment, the inheritor of the Ancient Demon Power was tightly entangled by three powerful figures, while the inheritance of the Barren Heavenly Law was hanging by a thread, about to fall under the copper coins, and the power of the law contained within was about to be ruthlessly extracted.
However, just at this moment of life and death, Li Chengfeng quietly approached, relying on his exquisite control of the space of the Life Realm.
He prepared to extract a trace of power with "Drawing from the Source at the Bottom of the Cauldron" at the moment when the power of the Barren Heavenly Law inheritance disappeared, for research purposes.
His purpose was not to completely seize the Ancient Demon's Law inheritance, but to draw inspiration from it to enhance his path of cultivating the Unity of All Laws.
Just as Li Chengfeng was about to act, the situation took a dramatic turn.
An unprecedented powerful force suddenly erupted from the pile of rubble. The Sect Master of the Blood Demon Sect, Xue Qingchen, was like a demon god in a sea of blood, his whole body surrounded by blood, the power of the blood shadow surging.
His cry of "Blood Blade Returns to Heaven," accompanied by an earth-shattering roar, the huge blood blade seemed to tear the space, blasting away most of those deadly copper coins.
Then, nine powerful blood shadows flew out of his body, each reaching the Half-Step Divine Transformation Realm, showing a suffocating pressure.
Xue Qingchen smiled, his eyes flashing with starlight. His appearance undoubtedly broke the original balance, adding new variables to this melee.
"Fellow Daoists, I'm late. I want to join in this excitement too."
He laughed loudly, his blood robe fluttering in the wind, appearing both unrestrained and unruly.
