Chapter 759: 265. Master, you are truly righteous (5.1K words – please subscribe)_3
During the Blood River Era, the Demon Dao somehow harnessed the power of the Forbidden Talisman Blood River to battle against the Righteous Dao. The Righteous Dao was defeated repeatedly, but eventually fought back fiercely at eight boundary locations. These eight deadly battles engulfed all beings, causing countless deaths, yet in the end, the Righteous Dao emerged victorious in all.
Nearby, the Rusted Sword Blood Abyss became one of these battlefields.
But what you don’t know is that the Righteous Dao didn’t actually win that battle, nor did the Demon Dao; the true victor was the Forbidden Talisman Blood River, or perhaps, the Blood River Lord.
The Blood River Lord turned many high-ranking members of the Righteous Dao into members of the Blood River Sect, and for countless years, they have remained hidden, waiting for something. I’m not qualified to know exactly what, but I believe the Blood River Lord is particularly interested in the Three Realms Forbidden Talisman, namely Xi, Hou, and Wa.”
Ning Yunmiao said, “Xi is still sealed by many high-ranking officials.”
Ming Ruyin said, “Actually, Xi was locked in a cage by the Blood River Lord. Now, the Blood River Lord is having his subordinates search for Hou and Wa. I believe these Three Realms Forbidden Talismans are exceptionally special.”
Ning Yunmiao said, “Isn’t Hou in the Demon Mountain Domain?”
Ming Ruyin said, “Originally, but it escaped. However, recently I discovered that the Five Spirits Celestial Demon Palace and the Bai Family likely have intricate ties with Hou.”
As she spoke, she suddenly raised her hand, pointing toward Hua Xianggu and Xiao Hanshan, saying, “They are Ghost Cultivators, and their birth is also tied to Hou. Hou is quietly developing at the fringes, attempting to bring the Netherworld back to the human realm.
Netherworld creatures, Celestial Demons, are actually part of the Netherworld’s reconstruction…”
She continued, pointing at Song Yan, “Since you can harness Wa’s abilities, you belong to Wa.”
Song Yan listened expressionlessly.
Belong to Wa?
What kind of hellish joke is this?
He is currently in a state where Wa Saint could kill him at any moment.
Song Yan said, “How many Saint Lords do you know?”
Ming Ruyin said, “I don’t know, but I guess there are seven.
Behind the Three Realms Forbidden Talisman are three Mad Saints.
But the Blood River Lord is not mad. Though not mad, His power has been restrained all these years. Otherwise, He would have already controlled the Great Thousand Worlds by now.
Besides the Blood River Lord, there is the Burial Saint. The Burial Saint is a recent arrival, and the Five Spirits Celestial Demon Palace is also linked to Him. The Palace Master, like you, possesses two… one is Hou, and the other is the Burial Saint. We can’t capture that Palace Master, but naturally, we are very interested in you.
The sixth is the Dragon Saint.
I have no idea where the Dragon Saint is, but they might have intricate ties to the Burial Saint.
The seventh I only heard Liu Venerable mention once. It’s urgent because another Saint’s power has appeared.
How does Liu Venerable know?
He must have heard it from someone above.
After all, Liu Venerable’s powers are unique, highly valued by those above.”
Ming Ruyin clearly knows many things.
She spoke happily under the influence of Wa Saint’s power, her speech accelerating, each confession bringing her extreme comfort.
But as she continued, it seemed as if she triggered some “prohibition,” and blood suddenly started flowing from her seven orifices, followed by her pores, yet she still struggled to open her mouth, attempting to speak.
She truly wanted to speak, but blood started gushing from her abdomen, refluxing from the esophagus, filling her mouth, so every time she tried to speak, she could only spew out a lot of blood with “ah wu ah wu” sounds.
Yet this blood didn’t land on the ground; instead, it began to spread along her body, like a living hand.
Song Yan reacted extremely quickly.
This was obviously a punishment for leaking the Blood River Lord’s secrets, a silencing maneuver that might also drag them down before completion.
How could he wait for the transformation to conclude, allowing the blood to completely engulf Ming Ruyin?
’Great Freedom Realm!’
His power instantly enveloped Ming Ruyin, trying to separate her body, soul, and thoughts.
Yet, upon doing so, he found that he couldn’t separate them.
Ming Ruyin’s body, soul, and thoughts seemed completely fused, turning rigid, transforming into another strange existence.
Finally, Ming Ruyin stopped speaking. Her body was no longer a body; her divine soul was no longer a divine soul; her thoughts were no longer thoughts. The three completely merged into a blood-colored humanoid monster.
“Blood Demon!”
Ning Yunmiao exclaimed.
This thing she had only heard about in legends.
The Blood Demon, from the Blood River Era, was the top predator in the first righteous-demonic war. Its might was bizarre; every attack simultaneously targeted the body, soul, and thoughts of its target. Indestructible and eternal, it could only be confined until its “lifespan” expired.
It’s said that a Profound Yellow Realm Cultivator transforming into a Blood Demon would not experience a decline in power; instead, power would significantly increase.
This existence is extremely terrifying, and perhaps the only weakness is that its “lifespan” is reduced from its original eternity to just a few thousand years.
Indestructible, tireless…
“Junior Brother, we can’t kill this thing. Let’s retreat! We’ve already gathered enough information this time!” Ning Yunmiao shouted, “Follow me!”
But it was too late.
The dark red figure had fully formed, completely unlike Ming Ruyin, or perhaps a muscular explosion version of Ming Ruyin. Her muscled body, with blood flowing, crouched slightly in a predatory stance, her crimson eyes locked onto Song Yan.
Just as Song Yan sprang into action, the Blood Demon struck fiercely, its large hand oozing dark red blood carried a foul wind, like a heaven-opening axe tearing apart stars, slashing through this space with snow-like space fragments and explosive space edges, slicing toward the hastily moving Song Yan!
Song Yan silently invoked “Words Followed by Deeds.”
A small white hand appeared.
The Blood Demon’s large hand struck the small white hand.
The small white hand grasped, dragging the Blood Demon’s large hand into a mysterious, deep space, disappearing in an instant.
In one breath, extreme danger loomed; in the next, danger vanished.
Space slowly mended.
Everyone was stunned, including Ning Yunmiao.
Song Yan cupped his hands toward the sky, loudly said, “No matter how much Wa Lord wants to kill me, I still have to say, Lord, you are truly loyal!”
As his words fell, he suddenly felt a sense of proximity to watchfulness.
Song Yan was momentarily stunned, quickly searched in the opposite direction, but that sense of surveillance vanished instantly. Despite his keen senses, he couldn’t discern where that sense of watchfulness came from.
