"A Magical Beast comparable to a False Core?"
The Fathead Fish Demon made its appearance, radiating a powerful aura far surpassing that of the four Blood Demon Sect Cultivators. Possessing a natural talent to counter the Blood Demon Scripture, the Sonic-Thief Mosquito King and its allies were not afraid, confident in their ability to fight and triumph. The appearance of the Fish Demon comparable to a False Core made the battle bereft of any suspense. All four of them combined would not stand a chance against the Fish Demon.
"Who are you really? Are you a Cultivator from Thousand Beasts Mountain?"
The Great Sects heavily infiltrated each other, gathering extensive intelligence, and were aware of the Forbidden Art External Insect Incarnation from the Insect Control Scripture. The Insect External Incarnation carried great risks and was seldom successfully cultivated. Most importantly, the Insect External Incarnation could at most reach the Qi Refining Peak, incomparable to this individual. Moreover, there was the formidable False Core strength Magical Beast. Controlling Magical Beasts and mastering insects, the most likely Cultivators were the disciples of Thousand Beasts Mountain.
Could this person’s master be a Golden Core Cultivator from Thousand Beasts Mountain? Otherwise, controlling a False Core strength Magical Beast would be impossible.
"This is a misunderstanding. The Blood Demon Sect has no enmity with Thousand Beasts Mountain. Can we agree to cease fighting?"
"We are willing to offer compensation, as an apology to you and your master."
The four Blood Demon Sect Cultivators, upon seeing the Fathead Fish Demon, imdiately lost their nerve, their previous arrogance vanishing. Bullying the weak and bowing to the strong—such is the integrity necessary for a Demon Cultivator.
"Is battle sothing you can start or stop on a whim?"
Jia Ren didn’t want to be overly entangled with the Blood Demon Sect. He had intended to use Yang Shengwu to gain so extra Spiritual dicine resources but had not expected such a turn of events. The Blood Demon Sect was domineering in its actions, intending to forcefully recruit him and even prepared to attack.
Things don’t work that way! If things couldn’t end amicably, then he would use all his power to capture them all. The Fathead Fish Demon, in combination with the Insect External Incarnation, might not guarantee the elimination of all four Foundation Establishnt Demon Cultivators, but leaving one or two behind should not be difficult. No one knew of his dwelling, so he didn’t need to worry about the Blood Demon Sect seeking revenge at his doorstep. The outco would be known only after the battle.
"ROAR!"
Behind him, the river stopped flowing, and mist filled the air in the jungle. The complexions of the four Foundation Establishnt Demon Cultivators changed drastically as they realized the Third-Order Great Demon was unleashing a powerful technique. They promptly used escape techniques, turning into blood light and fleeing for their lives.
Alas, their actions were still a step too late.
The inherent Law Domain of the Fathead Fish Demon had already ford, the expanding mist instantly enveloping the four n. The escaping blood light faded, trapped within the watery realm, their movents as slow as a turtle’s crawl.
The situation was far more overwhelming than they had anticipated. None of the four Foundation Establishnt Demon Cultivators were able to escape; all were restricted by the watery domain, unable to flee. Their strength was suppressed, making it extrely difficult to use Spiritual Power or cast Spells. The weaker their strength, the stronger the impact they felt. The weakest three, at the Foundation Establishnt Early Stage, couldn’t muster a trace of Spiritual Power, nor were they able to use the Talismans in their hands.
"Golden Core Domain?!"
"A Third-Order Great Demon?! No, Senior, spare our lives!"
"We are willing to compensate. Please show us rcy beyond the law."
The faces of the four Foundation Establishnt Demon Cultivators turned deathly white. They were not unacquainted with Golden Core Domains, but none were as perverse as this one. Different Golden Core Cultivators, with their various Cultivation Techniques, create unique Golden Core Domains, which mostly offer so degree of suppression and assistance. The Fathead Fish Demon’s innate Law Domain could restrict Spiritual Power and movent. It was a divine skill for bullying the weak, rendering it an unsolvable threat for those weaker than it. Utilizing its natural Law Domain, it could nearly effortlessly capture Cultivators of the Foundation Establishnt Late Stage belonging to the Bizarre Alliance; bullying them was child’s play.
The four, unable to cast Spells, consud Burning Blood Pills, allowed their Magic Artifacts to cut their skin, and let demonic blood flow. The blood, contaminated after taking Burning Blood Pills, had drastically enhanced corrosive abilities, incessantly eroding the Law Domain as they tried to break free. They sought to corrupt the watery realm to create a sliver of hope for themselves. Though not as stable as a Golden Core Domain, the Law Domain was not a target they could corrupt in a short amount of ti.
Ti! Given more ti, they would surely erode the Law Domain and find a way to survive. This was their only chance at self-rescue.
Unfortunately, such thoughts were quickly dashed.
The Insect External Incarnation didn’t just stand by. All four Blood Demon Sect Foundation Establishnt Cultivators were within the Law Domain, presenting the best opportunity for a complete sweep. The figure trembled, transforming into the Sonic-Thief Mosquito King and flying in. The innate Law Domain had no effect on it, allowing it to rampage unhindered. The spreading demonic blood couldn’t harm the Sonic-Thief Mosquito King; they could only watch helplessly as the Sonic-Thief Mosquito King approached.
How could they have forgotten about it?! Just dealing with the innate Law Domain was challenging enough, not to ntion the Demon Mosquitoes that weren’t affected by demonic blood. Who knew where the true body of the enemy lurked?
"Stay away from !"
"I beg you, spare my life! I’m willing to be your Blood Servant."
"I don’t want to die!"
The Sonic-Thief Mosquito King was unmoved as it swiftly approached the closest Foundation Establishnt Demon Cultivator.
POP!
One Cultivator watched helplessly as the sharp proboscis neared and, with ease, pierced through his head. Once the first fell, the second and third followed swiftly. In a blink, only the strongest, a Foundation Establishnt Mid-Stage Cultivator, was left in the field. Unlike the three without any power to resist, he at least had so ability to fight back.
"BURST!"
His body exploded with a bang, turning into a massive burst of blood light. This force exceeded the tolerance limit of the innate Law Domain, which shattered with a loud bang. A blood-colored Devil Wheel turned into a blood rainbow, shooting briskly toward the distance. Seeing that he was about to die a grisly death on the spot, this person was ruthless enough to decisively self-destruct his body, his soul controlling the Magic Artifact as it fled into the distance.
Ordinary Cultivators, once they lose their body and only their soul remains, can only survive by possessing another. As long as a Demon Cultivator from the Blood Demon Sect retains a drop of their lifeblood essence, they can reconstitute their bodies. The price was a permanent decrease in aptitude and Cultivation Level by one rank, and the inability to make any further progress. Although the price was steep, at least their lives could be spared. At this point, he had no choice.
From all directions, Sonic-Thief Mosquito Kings materialized, dispersing and blocking all escape routes. Only a small part of the Sonic-Thief Mosquito Kings entered the innate Law Domain; more were scattered around to prevent the enemy from escaping. This strategy was to prevent the cornered enemies from fighting to the death, and to avoid a scenario where a Blood Demon Sect forbidden art could wipe out his hundreds of Sonic-Thief Mosquito Kings all at once. If an enemy were to escape, the dispersed Sonic-Thief Mosquito Kings would also serve as a backup to intercept them.
HUM!
The Soul-Stealing Devil Sound was activated. The fleeing crimson Devil Wheel Magic Artifact froze in midair, crashing to the ground as if malfunctioning. From inside ca cries of extre pain, which then ceased completely. A Sonic-Thief Mosquito King approached, only to find that the soul inside had been obliterated by the Soul-Stealing Devil Sound.
Four Foundation Establishnt Cultivators from the Blood Demon Sect—none were missed, all caught in one net.
The Insect External Incarnation, in coordination with the Fathead Fish Demon, slew four Foundation Establishnt Demon Cultivators, allowing Jia Ren to roughly understand his own strength.
Dealing with powerful opponents is troubleso, but bullying Foundation Establishnt Early and Mid-Stage Cultivators is not a problem.
The biggest contributor to this battle was still the Fathead Fish Demon. Without it, the Insect External Incarnation could at most deal with three Foundation Establishnt Demon Cultivators and would be unable to contend with a Foundation Establishnt Mid-Stage Demon Cultivator. Of course, the role of the Insect External Incarnation was not insignificant either. Relying solely on the Fathead Fish Demon, it could only slay three Foundation Establishnt Cultivators, unable to detain the escaping Foundation Establishnt Mid-Stage Demon Cultivator. Its main battlefield was near water; once it left the water, its combat power would drop drastically. Together, they managed to capture all four Foundation Establishnt Demon Cultivators.
All dead?!
Yang Shengwu fell to the ground, his complexion pale, his crimson eyes showing disbelief. The four Elders of the Blood Demon Sect were powerful; together, they nearly annihilated a branch of the Heavenly Sword Sect. Facing Jia Ren, they all died here.
How could his strength be so great?! The one before him was not the true body, but an incarnation. Foundation Establishnt strength? A Foundation Establishnt incarnation? What’s the deal with the False Core spiritual pet?
Yang Shengwu originally thought it was astounding that Jia Ren had reached the Foundation Establishnt Stage, but now it seed he had vastly underestimated his strength.
Everyone has their fortuitous encounters. Jia Ren must have been favored by a Golden Core Cultivator from Thousand Beasts Mountain, allowing him to soar to such heights. Most importantly, both he and Jia Ren survived.
Yang Shengwu’s face broke into a smile, genuinely happy for his close friend.
"I... I’ve wronged you..."
The Sonic-Thief Mosquito King reford into Jia Ren’s likeness, gathering the spoils from the bodies of the four Foundation Establishnt Cultivators. Next, he had to deal with the repercussions from the deaths of the four Blood Demon Sect Foundation Establishnt Cultivators.
This won’t be too difficult. I’ll continue to hide in the Poisonous Miasma Lake. The Blood Demon Sect has no intelligence on , so searching for would be like finding a needle in a haystack. If I don’t want trouble knocking on my door, the solution is to keep a low profile and limit my excursions. The Insect External Incarnation can’t go out to scavenge cultivation resources. And there’s more...
Jia Ren’s gaze turned towards Yang Shengwu, and he let out a soft sigh.
Yang Shengwu has always treated as a bosom friend, with no ill intentions. The mont he took the Forbidden Pill, desperately trying to help escape, touched my heart. How should I resolve this situation?
Jia Ren didn’t want to bring Yang Shengwu to the Water Curtain Cave and the Water Mansion, as it would increase the risk of exposing his own location. The fewer people who know about my base, the better.
His mind was a whirlwind of thoughts, ideas flashing and dying, until a glimr of inspiration flickered through.
Substitute one thing for another... take the cuckoo’s approach and seize the nest... The annihilation of the Blood Demon Sect’s outpost is known only to and Yang Shengwu; the Blood Demon Sect Cultivators aren’t aware. Could I take advantage of this window of opportunity, seize control of this Blood Demon Sect outpost, and turn it to my own use? The Insect External Incarnation can take on myriad forms. Deceiving the Qi Refining Cultivators of the Blood Demon Sect won’t be difficult. I will beco the Blood Demon Shadow Sovereign! I can use the power of the Blood Demon Sect to opportunistically acquire resources. This disaster could turn into a win-win situation, or even multiple wins... a complete triumph!
Thinking this, Jia Ren’s mood beca inexplicably excited.
"Get up!"
"Revenge is possible, but don’t lose your reason."
"I don’t want to see this kind of thing a second ti."
"Brother Jia..." Yang Shengwu’s voice choked a bit, his heart full of unspoken words.
"Killing four Blood Demon Sect Cultivators has left a big ss. Have you thought about what to do next?" Jia Ren didn’t rush to reveal his true intentions, first wanting to gauge Yang Shengwu’s attitude.
The deaths of four Foundation Establishnt Cultivators from the Blood Demon Sect were a major event. Yang Shengwu would certainly be branded a traitor and pursued by the Blood Demon Sect.
He could never go back...
Yang Shengwu’s eyes were filled with confusion, still reeling from the abrupt change in his circumstances.
"I have a plan that might work—you’ll still be a Cultivator of the Blood Demon Sect, and your status will even be elevated." His voice was like a devil whispering persuasively as Jia Ren revealed his plan. "You will beco my representative at the Blood Demon Sect’s outpost."
"Together, we’ll manage the Blood Demon Sect, making it bigger and stronger."
