Vol 6 Chapter 54: The Sequestration
In the starry sky that alternated between pitch darkness and brilliant light, a figure minuscule compared to the vast cosmos was traversing through space at a terrifying speed like a beam of light, relying solely on his physical body.
Wherever he passed, violent stellar explosions echoed, and any minor celestial bodies along his path that got drawn near him would be instantly crushed by his formidable spiritual power.
Lin Jing had been crossing the starry sky for so ti now, getting closer and closer to the Star Crane Realm.
Within his soul space, the Star Longevity Crane watched star after star pass by through Lin Jing's eyes, ripples already stirring in its heart.
Soon, very soon.
"!"
anwhile, the Heavenly Emperor Post-Frog watched the Star Longevity Crane's figure from afar, clenching its frog fists tightly. After cultivating arduously for so long, in this battle, it was determined to leave a deep impression on the Star Longevity Crane.
As the great battle approached, several army groups within Lin Jing's body continued to practice and coordinate their battle formations until—
Bang!
Lin Jing's physical body shot through an energy shield released by a massive array like a bullet. Lin Jing knew they had finally reached their destination.
The Star Crane Realm was one of the few gathering places for Star Longevity Crane clans in the Lower Realm. After the Star Longevity Cranes fell to the Lower Realm, reproduction beca extrely difficult, causing their population to dwindle day by day. And these Longevity Bodies among the Demonic Beasts were clearly a precious "life resource."
Even for the Heavenly Demon Realm, the Star Crane Realm—with its relatively suitable environnt for Star Longevity Crane reproduction and survival—was quite a valuable resource zone.
Therefore, only by stationing the army of a great demon god like the "Blood Prison Demon God," whose combat power once rivaled Demon Emperor Tianchou's, could this resource zone be guaranteed to remain secure.
But even when expecting no accidents, accidents still happened.
The Blood Prison Demon God's army had deployed extrely powerful protective arrays around the Star Crane Realm to prevent wandering powerful Star Beasts, celestial bodies, and unknown enemies from interfering with the Star Crane Realm. Even attacks from ordinary Seeking the Way Stage experts could only create a few ripples on the protective shield. But today...
The protective shield was violently pierced through, emitting light as dazzling as a solar explosion that illuminated the entire Star Crane Realm, causing the powerful experts among the demonic armies stationed within the realm to look up.
Whoosh!
From both inside and outside the realm, two auras first converged toward one location. One of the Blood Prison Demon God's deputies—a Seeking the Way Stage expert suspected to possess demonic bloodline—was the first to confront the figure that had invaded near the Star Crane Realm.
The Blood Prison Demon God didn't personally guard the Star Crane Realm at all tis. Most of the ti, the Blood Prison Demon God's left and right hands guarded the Star Crane Realm in his stead.
The top experts of the Star Crane Realm had all been personally executed by the Blood Prison Demon God. The remaining Star Longevity Cranes responsible for bloodline reproduction could no longer produce significant threats and were powerless to rebel.
Moreover, the Blood Prison Demon God had established his main base here, with countless powerful experts from the demonic sect within the realm. Even when he wasn't present, it didn't really matter.
Like the one before them now—known as the Demon God's Left Hand, a demon who had perford soul usurpation on the super ferocious beast "Star-Devouring Leech"—was one of them.
The demon clad in blood-colored battle robes floated in the starry sky, looking at the invading creature, a trace of bloodthirsty smile curling at the corner of its mouth.
Its previously tense ntal state instantly relaxed as it let out a long sigh.
"It's you."
She looked at the star crane spreading its wings high in the sky, its gaze deathly calm, and recognized it.
"Nearly a thousand years later, the one rescued from among the Star Longevity Cranes. I'm certain you rember correctly—she's the daughter of the Star Crane clan's chieftain, right?"
"Originally one of the key surveillance targets, but was rescued by a mysterious person."
"Managed to escape with great difficulty, yet in the end still cos to throw herself into the trap. Do you really think reaching the Seeking the Way Stage can change anything?"
The demon couldn't help but laugh. A thousand years ago, soone had snatched away the little princess of the Star Longevity Crane clan. Such behavior was undoubtedly a provocation to the demon race.
However, although this behavior was despicable, the Blood Prison Demon God's army didn't invest too much effort in follow-up actions regarding this matter, only symbolically sending people to search for the culprit.
After all, what was taken was essentially just a Star Longevity Crane with not particularly strong bloodline and average potential, which wouldn't have much impact on the overall situation.
Of course now, the demon discovered that the initial judgnt was wrong. This Star Longevity Crane princess might not have been as diocre as she appeared at the ti. After all, if her bloodline was truly diocre, it would be difficult to successfully reach the Seeking the Way Stage within a thousand years.
So... was this Star Longevity Crane a genius deliberately hidden by the Star Longevity Crane clan's chieftain at that ti? Then, contacting external friends, they sent out the hope of the Star Longevity Crane clan.
This was the rough inference the demon could make now.
Looking at it now, this plan of theirs could indeed be considered successful—the Star Longevity Crane princess grew to the Seeking the Way Stage... but the fact that she dared to return for revenge made the demon think it was too foolish.
This guy, could it be that she doesn't understand the gap between herself and the Blood Prison Demon God's army?!
Or perhaps, she has other backup plans.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
Before long, a total of nine Seeking the Way Stage experts successively appeared behind the demon. Compared to the demon, they didn't have strong demonic auras, clearly not of demon bloodline. However, judging from their spiritual power fluctuations, they still cultivated Heavenly Demon techniques.
Most armies in the Heavenly Demon Realm were structured with pure demon-blooded cultivators serving as commanders, native non-demonic bloodline cultivators of the Heavenly Demon Realm serving as core mbers, while surrendered captives from conquered realms—even those at the Seeking the Way Stage—were basically peripheral mbers.
Now, with part of the core of the Blood Prison Demon God's army stationed in the Star Crane Realm having arrived, facing enemies that outnumbered them ten to one, the Star Longevity Crane still looked at them expressionlessly.
"Not advancing anymore? Or have you regretted it now—" The demon chuckled. A Seeking the Way Stage Star Longevity Crane—this would be another bountiful harvest.
"Don't rush, I'm still waiting..." The Star Longevity Crane spoke, gazing at the starry sky. The next instant, a "ribbit" sound echoed. In the eyes of the demon and others, the entire starry sky suddenly turned red, with vibrant red becoming the world's only color. Beyond the starry sky, a frog wearing a red scarf had just removed its scarf, letting it float out.
The red scarf, infused with Immortal Power, rapidly expanded, in the blink of an eye growing large enough to seal off the entire Star Crane Realm!
Using a superior-grade immortal artifact to seal off an entire realm!
Preventing any enemies from escaping the Star Crane Realm!
Currently, among the Pet Beasts in Lin Jing's team, aside from the chanized Turtle, the Heavenly Emperor Post-Frog with its Monarch-level Bloodline was the most adept at controlling superior-grade immortal artifacts.
"This is..." The demon frowned.
With the realm sealed, the killing intent in the Star Longevity Crane's eyes could no longer be suppressed. With a flick of its wing, white feather arrows accelerated through ti shot out at an unbelievable speed.
By the ti the demon's pupils contracted and she regained her senses, she was already drenched in sweat, staring at a white feather suspended in mid-air that her immortal artifact's spirit had automatically helped block.
Around her, several Seeking the Way Stage experts had their foreheads pierced through by feathers, their gazes horrified, almost instantly killed with a single strike.
"Ti Dao!" exclaid a Seeking the Way Stage expert whose head had been blasted open, his soul leaving his body. "My lord, this creature cultivates the Ti Dao, be careful!"
