Chapter 2045: Chapter 977: One Sword Splits the Canyon
Demon Path!?
Mo Douguang immediately understood why there was no inner core.
It turns out this Rank-4 demon had long been eroded by the Demon Path, leaving only its superficial form.
This blood shadow carried a faint sea scent, and with lightning speed fell upon Mo Douguang’s forehead. The latter wanted to use his Divine Sense to control his sword and turn back the Longevity Sword to block, but the demon’s corpse suddenly shrank, transforming into a closed flesh cage, trapping the Longevity Sword firmly.
Normally, Mo Douguang could break such a seal easily with a breath of True Qi.
Yet at this critical moment, such a breath could claim his life.
Seeing his escape speed unable to avoid the impact of the blood shadow, Mo Douguang’s pupil reflected Sword Light, and he had already gathered all his Peak Mastery Golden Hong Sword Sha.
However, this blood shadow is part of the Demon Path, a very insidious and ruthless secret technique. Although his Sword Sha was extremely sharp, slicing the blood shadow into two in an instant upon contact, amidst a burst of laughter, the divided blood shadow’s one part eroded the Sword Sha, while the other continued unabated towards Mo Douguang’s Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion.
Seeing that he was about to be penetrated by the blood shadow, Mo Douguang’s eyes flashed fiercely, about to expel his Nascent Soul desperately, but suddenly he heard a sentence in his ear.
He immediately halted his action of Nascent Soul outing, and began to maneuver the Longevity Sword. Accompanied by a clear whistle, the cage formed by the demon’s corpse was already broken open.
At this moment, the clouds rolled in the sky, a silver light descended from the heavens, accurately covering Mo Douguang’s entire body. The blood shadow, which was supposed to invade Mo Douguang’s Sea of Knowledge at the Purple Mansion, was confined in place as if time and space had frozen by the restraint of this silver light.
This is the “Void Lock” jointly cultivated by Chen Mobai and Void Illusion, although still at an entry-level, it was able to stagnate time for a breath.
The liberated Longevity Sword sliced through, already obliterating the blood shadow before Mo Douguang into a sky full of blood mist.
“Huh!”
And at the moment the blood shadow was stagnated, on a Spiritual Island somewhere in the Desolate Sea, a female cultivator with long white hair, her face delicate, clothed in a blood-colored robe, opened her eyes.
“Master, what’s wrong?”
Next to her, Wen Buyue immediately asked.
The white-haired blood-robed female cultivator before them was none other than the Great Elder of the Jade Mirror Demon Sect, Diao Xianlan, who reached Nascent Soul Complete hundreds of years ago.
“A Blood God has been extinguished.”
Diao Xianlan spoke calmly, hearing her words, Wen Buyue showed a surprised expression.
“Even if your embodiment confronts someone at Nascent Soul Peak, it can still fight; how could someone in East Wu stop it?”
“It’s merely a Blood God condensed casually with a demonic beast’s inner core and blood essence, unworthy to be my embodiment. But it was originally just to probe the strength of East Wu, although extinguished, it still accomplished its task.” Diao Xianlan spoke, yet inwardly puzzled over what kind of restriction could silently confine her condensed Blood God.
“Master, why hasn’t Junior Sister arrived yet?”
After listening, Wen Buyue didn’t bring up the Blood God again to avoid bad luck, but instead changed the subject to ask about Du Mengyun.
“On the Island of Ten Thousand Immortals, they don’t trust us much. Little Demon Venerable kept her there as a hostage.”
After saying this, Diao Xianlan squinted her eyes, sizing up Wen Buyue with interest, making him slightly pale.
In the Demon Path’s cultivation techniques, most are flawed, thus although Wen Buyue and Diao Xianlan are both Nascent Soul cultivators, if a fight breaks out, all Divine Skills and Great Methods can be easily countered.
“Do your tasks well; after capturing East Wu and the Eastern Wilderness, I will impart upon you the sect’s highest Yin and Yang Cycle Technique.”
Ultimately, Diao Xianlan only said these words, letting Wen Buyue breathe a sigh of relief.
“Yes, Master, this disciple will certainly not disappoint!”
After leaving the Spiritual Island, Wen Buyue immediately rushed towards the coastline over at East Wu.
Once he departed, a blurred figure emerged from behind Diao Xianlan, speaking: “This disciple of yours seems quite thoughtful.”
“In the Demon Path, those without heavy thoughts have long become bones.” Diao Xianlan spoke with a calm tone.
“Indeed, perhaps I’m too sensitive.” The blurred figure laughed.
“This time’s plan is crucial for our Divinity Transformation; caution is warranted. What did you witness at the scene?” Diao Xianlan asked the indistinct figure, which seemed to be gathering from sea fog.
“A person similar to me was observing the battlefield, only I was in the sea, and he was in the sky. Ultimately, it should have been him who acted to stagnate your Blood God.” The blurred figure spoke and suddenly became clear, turning into a man with a sinister appearance.
In the Demon Path, those who could converse so with Diao Xianlan were few.
This person was Gong Yangqing, who co-ran the Demon Path with Diao Xianlan upon Ming Zun’s disappearance, and Qi Tian Demon Sect’s sect master!
“It should be Emperor Chen Qing, can you discern what method it was?” Diao Xianlan continued asking. They two great demon heads were hesitating here due to their apprehension towards this legendary Yi Yuan Taoist Child.
“Normally, it should be Yi Yuan Dao Palace’s Five Elements Seal, yet the traces don’t match; I didn’t sense the arrangement of Five Element Spiritual Energy in the world. Observing the light, it rather resembles Taixu MiaoMiao Palace’s ‘Void Energy Lock.’” Gong Yangqing shared his findings, yet appeared full of confusion.
