Chapter 568: Chapter 568: Final Battle (Part 5)
"Young Sect Master, there are some things I can’t explain clearly now. When we return to the sect, I will report to the Sect Master, and he will surely explain everything to you in detail!"
Li Xuan said with an extremely solemn expression: "In any case, let’s not make a move on Ling Chen. Inviting him to our sect for cultivation is also a method. There’s no need to act against Ling Chen now."
Ye Fentian looked deeply at Li Xuan.
Finally, he nodded heavily and said, "Alright then!"
The fact that someone of Li Xuan’s stature—a high-ranking King of Palace Mansion Realm—was being this cautious probably meant that Ling Chen indeed had a significant background.
As the Young Sect Master of the Burning Flame Sect and the future heir to the Sect Master position,
He naturally also had his discretion.
Moreover, once back at the sect, dealing with Ling Chen would be much easier.
He might even obtain Ling Chen’s complete Emperor’s Inheritance.
There was no rush for the moment.
Upon hearing these words, Li Xuan finally let out a sigh of relief.
"So, you mean to say that we cannot let Ling Chen die?"
Ye Fentian continued.
With an astonishing background like Ling Chen’s, if he were to die, wouldn’t the Burning Flame Sect be held accountable?
And wouldn’t it be impossible for him to obtain the real inheritance from Ling Chen?
"Young Sect Master, rest assured, if he is truly such a person, he probably won’t die so easily! Besides, with me watching over him, he won’t die!"
Li Xuan laughed.
"Ling Chen, you’re seeking death!"
Xia Jiuyou wiped off the blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes bloodshot and fierce, glaring at Ling Chen like a ferocious beast.
He hadn’t expected Ling Chen to be so terrifying, managing to injure him using the Blood Sacrifice Technique!
This was indeed a great humiliation!
"Xia Jiuyou, do you even deserve to say such words?"
Ling Chen laughed coldly.
Unable to even handle his attack but still spouting such nonsense, it was simply ridiculous!
"Really?"
Xia Jiuyou’s eyes suddenly gleamed with two black lights.
"Now, this King will let you see my true capabilities!"
As he finished speaking, Xia Jiuyou formed a spell with both hands, striking a strange pose.
As this pose completed, a sinister black aura whistled out from his body.
"What’s happening?"
Ling Chen’s eyes narrowed.
Originally, he thought that the Holy Body Secret Technique was Xia Jiuyou’s true trump card.
It seemed he had spoken too soon!
Witnessing Xia Jiuyou emit black aura, the cultivators watching the battle also cast puzzled and perplexed glances.
"With the power of True Demons, I command!"
"My Demon Servants, awaken!"
"This moment, it is time for you to sacrifice yourselves for this True Demon!"
These three voices seemed to have a strange demonic power. Following these words, the eyes of countless cultivators on both sides of the Wu River turned blood red.
Most of these cultivators were at the early and middle stages of the Primordial Pill Realm.
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
"Roar!"
...
These cultivators seemed to have lost their self-will, emitting eerie roars like ferocious beasts.
"He is a Demon Cultivator..."
Ye Fentian’s eyes suddenly sharpened.
A Cultivator of Demon must practice authentic Demonic secret techniques.
Only then can one become a true Demon Cultivator!
Only then can he use genuine methods of the Demonic Path to devour others’ Spiritual Power and elevate his cultivation!
"A demon?"
Ling Chen’s expression changed.
He suddenly remembered that back in the True Martial Academy, Mo Han, the Palace Master, and several Deputy Palace Masters seemed to have practiced a method involving refining Beast Pills.
At that time, they said it was a secret technique bestowed by King Xia!
Now, he finally understood that Xia Jiuyou was the real demon!
No wonder there was an audience of millions for this battle.
So, this was the plan!
"Pff pff pff..."
Numerous Demon Servant cultivators, one after another, leaped into the Wu River.
"Boom boom boom boom..."
Then, one after another, the cultivators self-destructed.
In an instant, the Wu River was dyed red with blood.
Wu River turned into a river of blood!
At the same time, due to the self-destruction of the Cultivator’s Primordial Pill, an astonishing convergence of Spiritual Energy occurred throughout the heavens and the earth.
"It’s Spiritual Energy!"
"Such dense Spiritual Energy!"
Countless Cultivators have gone mad.
Especially those in the Spirit Sea Realm.
However, just as they absorbed the Spiritual Energy, and before they could refine it, they lost their minds and one after another, they jumped into the Wu River and self-destructed their Spirit Seas!
"Don’t absorb it!"
Ling Chen roared.
Such Spiritual Energy, even for cultivators in the seventh level of the Primordial Pill Realm, would require considerable effort to truly refine.
It could even be influenced by the Demonic Qi within.
The cultivators of the Spirit Sea Realm, naturally got addicted instantly.
At this moment, other cultivators looked on in horror at this astonishing scene.
Countless cultivators self-destructed one after another!
In just about a few moments, tens of thousands had self-destructed.
"The Demonic Sacrifice, complete!"
As these words fell, Xia Jiuyou’s hand gestures changed.
"Boom!"
A blood-red column of water surged from the Wu River into the sky, rushing towards Xia Jiuyou.
And the endless Spiritual Energy in the blood water also entered and surged into Xia Jiuyou’s body.
Almost without needing refinement, it became Xia Jiuyou’s Spiritual Power.
Xia Jiuyou’s cultivation level crazily increased again.
Following that, the Demon Servant Cultivators directly self-destructed on the spot, causing many cultivators to be affected!
Even some high-level cultivators in the Primordial Pill Realm, unprepared, were injured.
With the contamination of the Demonic Qi, some high-level cultivators in the Primordial Pill Realm with weaker wills seemed also inclined to self-destruct.
This blood water also absorbed the Spiritual Energy generated from these people’s self-destruction.
In just a few dozens of moments, nearly hundreds of thousands were dead!
The air was filled with the extreme scent of blood!
"These are truly Demon Cultivators, they must die!"
Li Xuan’s face changed drastically.
A flash of light in his hand, a silver longsword appeared.
"Slash!"
A stream of Spiritual Power was infused into the longsword, and with one slash, Li Xuan cut through.
"Boom!"
A terrifying three hundred zhang-long Sword Qi appeared and slashed towards the source of the blood surge, Xia Jiuyou!
However, the Sword Qi passed through Xia Jiuyou as if through nothing.
As if Xia Jiuyou had transformed into nothingness!
"What?!"
Li Xuan and the others were shocked.
Xia Jiuyou could actually ignore Spiritual Power attacks, what to do now?
"Elder Mu! You try!"
Ye Fentian spoke.
"Yes!"
The black-robed elder immediately invoked a beam of Divine Soul Telekinesis from his brow.
However, this beam of Divine Soul Telekinesis, just like the previous Sword Qi, was ultimately unable to harm Xia Jiuyou.
"The Demonic Sacrifice is not so easily interrupted!"
Xia Jiuyou smiled at Ye Fentian.
Originally, he had not planned to reveal such means.
But, Ling Chen had injured him.
Unable to contain his rage, he had displayed his demonic techniques.
He must take revenge for his son, Xia Biluo!
He knew that once he revealed such means, what awaited him was relentless pursuit by the Burning Flame Sect.
He might even die here, with no chance of escape.
But this was the only thing he could do.
How could he not avenge the murder of his son?
Moreover, this was essentially his last chance.
Given Ling Chen’s talent, given more time, his strength would only grow stronger.
Even if he used all his means, he might not be able to kill Ling Chen.
Xia Jiuyou continuously refined the incoming Spiritual Energy into his body.
His cultivation soared again!
Palace Mansion Realm, mid-fourth layer.
Palace Mansion Realm, late fourth layer.
