Chapter 1439 - 1035: Demon Saber Displays Its Might

On the mirror inside the Blood Pool, bizarre Spirit Patterns surfaced one after another, driven by True Essence. However, because the bloody glow in the Blood Pool was too thick, with crimson blood bubbles rolling on the surface and massive swathes of bloody light, no one from the Ye Family or the Tian Dao Sect noticed the cyan mirror hidden within.

After all, if not for Ye Jingyu’s Chess and Puppet Two Principles Array, those thirty-odd Blood Corpses would have caused them immense trouble. Who would have thought that a treasure was being activated beneath the pool?

At this moment, even Master Golden Armor, who was controlling the Cyan Blood Mirror, was taken aback. The mirror was somewhat slipping out of his control, terrifyingly absorbing the bloody light from the Blood Pool. Its absorption speed was barely any weaker than the combined absorption of over thirty Blood Corpses. Its aura grew increasingly tyrannical. It was only because the Blood Pool inherently contained such elements that the others hadn’t noticed it.

Even so, Master Golden Armor had to suppress the power of the Ancient Treasure Cyan Blood Mirror. He then shifted his gaze toward Ye Jingyu and the others, his face revealing a sense of tragic grandeur and the desperation of being driven into a corner. Meanwhile, his hands continuously stimulated the Blood Pool Array to make the pool appear less abnormal.

In the sky, the five Golden Armored Spirit Corpses were still desperately resisting the Six-Colored Cloud Deer, though they could be defeated at any moment. The Six-Colored Cloud Deer was naturally at the Tier Four Peak and countered Blood Qi. The five Golden Armored Spirit Corpses could only hold on until now because the Armor of the Spirit Corpses was extremely formidable. Otherwise, they would have long perished at the hands of the Six-Colored Cloud Deer and its Wood Giant.

As for Master Golden Armor himself, he needed to guard against the White-Browed Cyan Wolf. Despite the White-Browed Cyan Wolf being only at the Late Stage of Tier Four, its terrifying speed made it seem like a sweeping hurricane in the air. This left Master Golden Armor unable to exert his full strength, even with three of his favored Magical Treasures on hand. At the same time, he became increasingly certain that the Celestial Cyan Wolf Valley and the Ye Family were working together. Otherwise, back when Nascent Souls from the Qinghe Sect, Beihe, and the Bai Family came knocking on the Ye Family’s door, they wouldn’t have coincidentally encountered the Beast Tide stirred up by the Nether Fire Demon Emperor and the Celestial Cyan Demon Emperor.

As time passed, the deteriorating situation on the battlefield became increasingly difficult to salvage. Master Ye Feng, cooperating with the Golden Falcon, slew another enemy.

Right at that moment, the Blood Pool finally dissipated, and Master Golden Armor’s eyes released a burst of Spiritual Light.

"Go!" With a soft shout, Master Golden Armor pointed a finger at Ye Jingyu.

A cyan-red mirror light shone onto Ye Jingyu, simultaneously enveloping a few Golden Core Cultivators nearby. Instantly, their eyes were filled with visions of mountains of corpses and seas of blood as they were dragged into an Illusion Realm. Fortunately, after being trapped for a brief moment, Ye Jingyu quickly snapped out of it. His expression remained cold and clear, though a lingering fear crept into his heart.

Inside his body, a blood-red bead was continuously spinning. To ensure everything went smoothly, Ye Jingcheng had temporarily given the Blood Soul Bead to Ye Jingyu. While Purple Mansion Cultivators could barely incorporate the Blood Soul Bead into their bodies, Golden Core Cultivators could already activate the second layer of the Treasure Communication Technique, unleashing a portion of the Blood Soul Bead’s might. Even though the Illusion Realm was powerful, it was unable to interfere with Ye Jingyu.

Although Ye Jingyu avoided the effect, Master Ye Feng and Chi Yuan True Master both fell victim to it. Their eyes turned bloodshot as they raised their Magical Treasures and attacked Ye Jingyu.

Master Ye Feng’s fierce Sword Technique and Chi Yuan True Master’s Five Elements Red Origin Banner both possessed extraordinary power. Ye Jingyu was forced to swallow a Tier Four Spirit Pill and activate his Tier Four High Grade Defense Treasure, the Black Crow Tower, to block the onslaught. At that very moment, the cyan Cyan Blood Mirror began shining on the others one by one. In an instant, the rest of the cultivators started acting just like Chi Yuan True Master and Master Ye Feng.

"Kill them quickly!" Master Golden Armor bellowed. Even though two Golden Cores, along with quite a few Tier Four Corpse Refinements and Flying Corpses, had already fallen, they still retained a significant amount of Combat Power.

They brought out their respective trump cards one after another. Bizarre Corpse Needles, high-flying Demon Banners, and Demon Corpses channeling their Corpse Beads at full force... The Cyan Yang Demon Corpse, in particular, burned with raging Cyan Flames. It bypassed Master Mo Dao and crushed the shoulder of a Tian Dao Sect True Master on the spot. If that True Master hadn’t forcefully shifted his body in that life-or-death moment, he would have lost his life.

At this moment, the True Masters on Ye Jingyu’s side were filled with lingering fear. They activated all their Defense Treasures and began entertaining thoughts of retreat.

"This is True Monarch Chi Xue’s Ancient Treasure! Mo Dao Daoist, there’s no need to hold back!" Ye Jingyu was completely horrified at this moment. The power of the Cyan Blood Mirror had utterly exceeded their imagination. Daring not to hold back, Ye Jingyu used the Blood Soul Bead to unleash a bloody light, launching an attack straight at Master Golden Armor’s Heart Spirit.

PFFT!

PFFT!

Almost at the exact same time, both Master Golden Armor and Ye Jingyu coughed up blood.

Although Ye Jingyu possessed a Spirit Treasure, his Divine Sense was ultimately only at the strength of the Middle Stage of Golden Core. Meanwhile, Master Golden Armor’s Divine Sense was likely not far from Nascent Soul Divine Sense. Being able to control Five Paths of Tier Four Late Stage Spirit Corpses, along with numerous other Spirit Corpses, and even activate an Ancient Treasure, the opponent was naturally someone with a powerful Divine Sense. Moreover, Master Golden Armor possessed a specialized Spiritual Treasure for defense.

Of course, this move was not entirely ineffective. The Cyan Blood Mirror inside the Blood Pool finally dimmed. Master Golden Armor, too, had visibly suffered even more severe injuries.

"That’s a Spirit Treasure!" Master Golden Armor sounded a bit flustered, yet his eyes shot out brilliant rays of light. He couldn’t think of any other treasure besides a Spirit Treasure that could injure his Divine Sense. Therefore, even though he was injured, he was incredibly thrilled. The Ancient Treasure Cyan Blood Mirror was already terrifyingly powerful, so in his eyes, a Spirit Treasure would undoubtedly be even more formidable.

However, his excitement didn’t last long before his heart began to pound wildly. A suffocating sense of crisis suddenly washed over him. When he focused his gaze, he saw that Master Mo Dao had already taken out a Magical Treasure that appealed to him even more.

The terrifying bloody light made the entire world pale in comparison. At that moment, Master Golden Armor couldn’t even distinguish who the real Demon Cultivator was.

The five Golden Armored Spirit Corpses immediately retreated, intending to act as meat shields. After all, the Golden Corpse Armors worn by the five armored corpses were Tier Four High-Grade Treasures. However, before the five corpses could pull back, they were locked in place by the techniques of the Golden Falcon and the White-Browed Cyan Wolf.

Master Golden Armor had no choice but to bring out his remaining Magical Treasures. But hastily activated, none of them could withstand even a single clash against the Demon Saber. Finally, as a bloody light flashed past, Master Golden Armor’s body was split into two halves. Furthermore, his body rapidly shriveled up, turning into two dried husks.

Having executed that strike, Master Mo Dao hurriedly put away the Treasure Saber. This Treasure Saber was, naturally, the Tian Dao Sect’s underlying foundation—the Blood Demon Saber. Despite it being just a brief slash, Master Mo Dao felt as though he had been drained of more than half a Jiazi of his lifespan. Naturally, he didn’t dare to use it again.

With Master Golden Armor gone, the remaining cultivators lost all will to fight and began fleeing in all directions. But without Master Golden Armor, there was no one left to power the Blood Pool Array, nor could anyone control the five Golden Armored Spirit Corpses and the remaining dozen or so Blood Corpses. How could they possibly be a match for Ye Jingyu’s group?

Moreover, because Ye Jingyu had previously arranged for everyone to set up numerous Arrays, these Arrays now acted as cages, trapping the Celestial Corpse Sect cultivators.

Master Dayan, however, possessed extraordinary means. Using an Array-Breaking Talisman and a Celestial Gate Talisman, he managed to escape. But what greeted him were Ye Jingyu’s bloodshot eyes. The Blood Soul Bead was activated once more. Unlike Master Golden Armor, who could forcefully withstand the Blood Soul Bead, Master Dayan was far too lacking. In the end, he was slain by a Golden Falcon Flying Slash. His Storage Bag was carried back in the Golden Falcon’s beak.

This time, the Ye Family had brought out a Spirit Treasure, and the Tian Dao Sect had used a Blood Treasure; naturally, he couldn’t let the enemy escape. Of course, at this moment, he was already anticipating that Master Dayan held the true Celestial Desolate Inheritance. The authenticity of this Celestial Desolate Secret Realm couldn’t be faked. No matter how heaven-defying the methods of the Qinghe Sect and the Celestial Corpse Sect were, they couldn’t produce such an effect. This could only mean that this was indeed the Celestial Desolate Secret Realm, but it had been scouted by the two sects in advance.

The treasures and inheritances must have been in the hands of those few people. And since Master Dayan was a cultivator of the Qinghe Sect, he was the most suspicious. Therefore, even if it drained his Heart Spirit, Ye Jingyu had to kill Master Dayan right then and there.

After all the True Masters were completely eliminated, the group began dividing up the Spirit Corpses. Meanwhile, Ye Jingyu headed toward the Blood Pool and retrieved the Cyan Blood Mirror from within.
