Chapter 375: Chapter 247: The Heist_1
Righteous Qi Peak, the sword light returned, transforming into a human figure.
“Master!”
Li Qiankun hurried forward, asking with concern, “How is the situation?”
“The cor bears ill intentions!”
ng Fuyao shook his head, “The Blood Sea Formation is set, and although White Jade Capital has not been destroyed, it’s also unable to break the seal for the ti being.”
Upon hearing this, Li Qiankun imdiately frowned, “The Blood Demon makes a move with sothing to rely on, either the formation is capable of annihilating White Jade Capital, or there are arrangents outside the formation to widen the gap and break the stalemate, it just needs ti to unfold. They must wait until their montum is established before they can decide the victory, therefore, the grand formation lays a siege to delay.”
“Indeed,” ng Fuyao nodded and said, “In any case, the ultimate goal of this demon is certainly White Jade Capital.”
Li Qiankun’s brows were tightly knitted, “What should we do then?”
ng Fuyao did not give a direct answer but instead asked, “What are the attitudes of the others?”
“This… they are divided!”
Li Qiankun shook his head, “So advocate for imdiate ascension, while others believe we should wait and see.”
“…”
ng Fuyao was silent for a mont, clearly hesitant.
Li Qiankun did not speak, his heart equally torn.
After a long while, ng Fuyao finally said, “The Blood Demon’s current aggression is ferocious. Although it primarily targets White Jade Capital, we might also be in his calculations. The prudent approach would be to stay and watch, wait for White Jade Capital to break the seal, then proceed with ascension. With this approach, even if the Blood Demon makes a move, we’ll still have so protection.”
Li Qiankun’s brow was tightly furrowed, “But by doing so, we’re essentially entrusting our fate to White Jade Capital. If they are defeated by the Blood Demon, then we shall perish with them. On the other hand, the Blood Demon has just re-erged, and even though he has made arrangents, there hasn’t been enough ti for it to take effect. Ascending now, he might not be able to stop us!”
ng Fuyao nodded, “It’s indeed a tough choice!”
“Indecision leads to disaster!”
Li Qiankun spoke solemnly, “This matter must not be delayed indecisively. Whether we leave or stay, I ask that you, Master, make a decision!”
“…”
Faced with this dilemma, ng Fuyao again fell into silence.
“Well then!”
After a while, there was a sigh, “Tell them, each to prepare, in three days we ascend as a sect!”
“Yes!!”
Seeing ng Fuyao had made a decision, Li Qiankun did not say more and imdiately set about his task.
White Jade Capital, despite its capabilities, cultivators have never liked to entrust their lives to others.
Previously they had no choice but to cooperate.
But now, with a way out and a choice at hand, they naturally would not place their hopes on White Jade Capital again.
Ascension!
It had to be done!
…
Three days later, it was still Righteous Qi Peak.
All nine cultivators gathered, silently waiting for the right mont.
Though the entire sect was to ascend, not all could be taken, not bringing everyone.
Breaking through the realm was imnsely pressuring, and traveling through the void was even more fraught with peril, not to ntion the karma of the world…
Only the high echelons of the sect and those close to them could be brought along, taken into magical treasures, to accompany them.
Even so, it was a gamble with a nine in ten chance of death, for they too were fighting for a slim chance of survival.
Though slim, it was still a chance.
Unlike those left behind, who were now abandoned, unless White Jade Capital could turn the tides and break the stalemate, once the might of the Blood Sea was established and the Demon Path rose greatly, this world was dood to fall, and all would either beco demonic spawn or blood feed.
That was true despair!
“The news of White Jade Capital entrapped in the blood sea has been confird by all sides; the world is now in chaos, with evil demons rising everywhere.”
“The remnants of the Holy Blood Demon Sect have re-erged, spreading the Corpse Resolution Demon Magic and the Boxun Heart Sutra far and wide. Many cultivators have been bewitched, falling into the Demon Path.”
“Even those not entering the Demon Path, suppressed for many years, various forces and scattered cultivators still need the Five Viscera Pills to further dissolve demonic nature.”
“The Spirit Pills and Spirit Talismans of White Jade Capital are insufficient to et the demand of Golden Core cultivators. Suppressing for a hundred years, it is bound to backlash!”
“The forces of Azure Dragon Valley, White Tiger Mountain, Vermilion Bird Cave, Black Tortoise State, and Qilin Cave, all troops from the Five Palaces and Twelve Towers have been completely withdrawn, fiercely defending outside the Blood Sea Formation, waiting for White Jade Capital to break the seal and erge!”
“With no one to hold back, the sweeping montum of the Demon Path has beco unstoppable!”
“This is fate, this is fate!”
“Amitabha!”
Faced with this chaotic world, even a compassionate monk could only sigh softly.
Then…
“The ti has co!”
ng Fuyao’s expression was indifferent, like an undisturbed ancient well, as he looked up at the sky and said, “Everyone, follow !”
With those words, by stirring his mana, a Haoqi Long breath manifested into an ascending sword dragon, piercing the heavens and shattering the skies.
“Boom!!!”
A loud sound echoed as heaven and earth trembled.
The wind died, and clouds vanished; the void cracked open, revealing a deep rift across dinsions.
Seeing this, the crowd did not hesitate. Each one brought out their Spiritual Treasure and struck towards the celestial rift.
“Bang!!!”
Another thunderous noise as the rift shattered open, revealing a void. The powerful forces of heaven and earth acted, gradually closing the space, creating imnse pressure at the edge of the realm.
“Go!”
With no ti to lose, ng Fuyao shouted, leaped up, and charged straight into the rift with his sword.
Without delay, everyone followed closely, joining him in breaking through the realm.
“Elder!”
“What is this…”
“Ascension?”
“How could this be!”
“Wasn’t it supposed to be a sect-wide ascension? Why didn’t they take us, why didn’t they take us?”
“No wonder all the elders and the true disciples were nowhere to be seen!”
“The treasury has been half-emptied, all taken by them!”
“Ah!!!”
“You old cur, treating us differently, wretched to be called a teacher!”
“Presumptuous, how dare you insult our ancestor!”
“Our ancestor ascended to break the demons and seek a sliver of hope for life — you all should understand this.”
“Pah, he’s not fit to be a teacher. You lapdogs have all been abandoned, yet you still defend him!”
“Now the Blood Demon Catastrophe has risen; the world is in chaos. They fled without fighting, in vain being called our ntors!”
“Old ghost, you are heartless, do not bla for being unrighteous. Brothers and sisters — Attack!”
“These Spirits of Demon Transformation bear heavy karmic consequences; they would not dare take them all. They must have left them with these lapdogs!”
“Kill!!!”
Although they were prepared in their hearts, the sight of this ascension phenonon still made the rest feel deep despair.
In despair, it’s inevitable to resort to extres.
Rebellions erupted everywhere; within the Haoqi Sect, furious killing shouts resounded.
The Nine Cultivating Ascenders knew nothing of this.
Even if they did, they would certainly not turn back.
The nine had just broken the realm, and the space had not yet healed.
They saw blood lights rising from all directions, raging into the spatial passageway.
“Hm!?”
“Not good!”
“Blood Demon?”
ng Fuyao’s eyes narrowed, and he imdiately drew his sword.
However, caught in the breaking space where heaven and earth were closing, the pressure was imnse.
Even with Corpse Resolution and a Divine Ancient Sword, they could not completely eradicate the incoming blood light; one sword stroke failed to dispel it.
The blood light was continuous, filled with scarlet demon shadows, flesh aberrant and forms twisted, hurtling straight toward the nine.
They were the Golden Core Cultivators who had fallen into the Demon Path, taught by the Prajna and Mara, passing on the Blood Demon skills.
These Golden Core Cultivators had already completed their training, just one step away from Nascent Soul Condensing — only lacking Spiritual Objects of Demon Transformation, Spiritual Treasures of ancient tis to anchor their spirit, unable to perform Slaughtering Demon or Corpse Resolution.
Now having fallen into the Demon Path, their strength greatly increased, having broken the boundaries of the Golden Core, comparable to Nascent Soul Corpse Resolution, and amidst their madness, they still retained a bit of consciousness, not like the previous True Seeds of Heavenly Demon, which were like walking corpses.
More importantly, there were many of them, far surpassing the Nine Revisions of Corpse Resolution.
“Ahh!!!”
A cry of agony resounded sharply; several Blood Demons flew forth, striking down a person, tearing open with claws and teeth.
This man was a Corpse Resolution fostered as a backup by the Four Sects, who collectively made up the numbers; his strength was far inferior to ng Fuyao and the like, the two Confucians and three monks. His body, although a Spiritual Treasure of ancient tis, could not withstand the claws and fangs of the original demons, and in an instant, he was torn apart, revealing his mangled Spiritual Treasure original form.
If this man t such a fate, the others fared no better.
Dozens of Nascent Soul Blood Demons flew in to attack, swarming to besiege.
“Open!”
Li Qiankun roared in anger, revealing his Corpse Resolution true form; the Haoqi Cloud Dragon rose with majesty, lashing its tail to repel the Blood Demons, then straining to break free from the terrifying pressure of this ruptured space.
The space had been breached, and as heaven and earth were closing in, the horrific pressure was unbearable, even for Divinity Transformation Corpse Resolution, and they could not hold out for long.
They could not linger!
Flee, flee, flee!
The Haoqi Cloud Dragon, in a desperate attempt to escape.
However, a crowd of Blood Demons, equally desperate, pounced on the dragon’s body, madly tearing at it, prompting continuous angry roars from the Cloud Dragon.
But what brought despair was the space in front, already showing signs of closing, leaving little hope for a way out.
“Heaven’s will!!!”
ng Fuyao, at the front, feeling the increasing pressure of heaven and earth, and seeing Li Qiankun and others being entangled and slaughtered by the Blood Demons behind him, was also filled with reluctance, sighing deeply before turning his sword around to go back.
“Boom, rumble!”
The Nine Revisions of Corpse Resolution battled fiercely against the hordes of demons, unintentionally dyeing the heavens with blood, as the sea of clouds turned into a blood sea, the proud sun was obscured, leaving only a demonic moon to be seen.
In the midst of the blood sea, evil voices resounded in waves.
“Prajna and Mara, the revered Boxun!”
“He transforms at will, my demon has compassion!”
“Convert, convert, to the blood sea we convert!”
“…”
Within the eerie chanting, the blood sea raged, the blood clouds thickened, never dispelling again.
…
Elsewhere, White Dragon Ridge, Blood Sea Array!
Array outside the array, Five Palaces stand divided, each guarding a side.
Azure Dragon Palace Master Dong Ling, White Tiger Palace Master Wang Hu, Vermilion Bird Palace Master Huo Li, Black Tortoise Palace Master Chen Xuan, and Qilin Palace Master Huang Sang, together with the Twelve Towers’ forces, laid out the Five Elents True Spirits Great Array, stationed outside the blood sea.
The Blood Sea Great Array’s purpose was to delay; the Blood Demon had other arrangents outside, a final killing move.
This, although known to all, left them helpless.
After all, with the enemy hidden and us exposed, being in a passive state was extrely distressing; without Xu Yang, this sect master’s guidance from the heavens’ secrets, it was fundantally difficult to calm the world’s chaos.
The outco of fighting separately could only be that each of them would be broken down one by one.
Therefore, they all decisively moved their forces back to defend alongside the Blood Sea Array’s outer periter, waiting for Xu Yang to break through the Blood Sea Great Array.
Thus, within the Blood Sea Array…
“Hahaha!”
Laughter ca from the blood sea; the Demon Head reappeared, wickedly teasing, “See that? They are waiting for you to save them. Won’t you hurry up and break the array? Once my blood sea’s montum is ford, I will sweep across the world, and only you will be left in this era!”
Xu Yang sat at the peak, eyes closed, focusing his spirit, completely unmoved.
“What, can’t you break through, or can’t you bear to?”
“The blood sea is limitless, the array of Myriad Forms!”
“Even with your peerless talents, you cannot hope to comprehend and break this array!”
“Corpse Resolution Demon Magic, the Boxun Heart Sutra, has already spread throughout the world.”
“Those Golden Core Cultivators with mature Demon Fetuses need only a single thought to beco demons, retaining their consciousness, ready to initiate the blood sea’s montum!”
“In three months, the blood sea will sweep across, and the world will fall into ruin!”
“How long can these disciples of yours, these sect mbers of yours, hold out? For how long can they withstand the onslaught?”
“Do you still have anything left to reserve?”
The Demon Head clamored, his words were cutting, probing the very essence of his opponent.
Yet, the cultivator remained still, epitomizing calmness, which further unsettled the blood sea, temporarily throwing the demon’s heart into disarray.
“What exactly are you waiting for!!!”
