Chapter 781 Changes
Three days later.
On the blood-red throne, the old demon Youtong opened his eyes, stuck out his tongue and licked his lower lips. His eyes were blood red, revealing greed, cruelty and bloodthirstiness.
"After this blow, I want to see what else you can use to resist my killing!"
As he spoke, the old demon Youtong stood up.
A blood-red sword light spanned the sky.
Evil clouds rolled to both sides, the sky cracked, and a river of blood flowed down upside down with a ferocious momentum.
The light curtain vibrated, and runes fell like falling stars.
A smug and cruel sneer appeared on the corner of Patriarch Youtong's mouth.
At this moment, a man in gray slowly rose into the air holding a sword.
Runes on Xuandu Peak lit up and emitted yellow light.
The earth-based forces between heaven and earth seemed to be rioting at this time, forming rolling yellow airflows that rushed towards Xuandu Peak.
The runes became brighter and brighter, floating away from Xuandu Peak, forming a river of yellow light that flowed into the body of the gray-clothed man, that is, the Grand Elder Ye Chen.
Crackling!
A sound like frying soybeans came from Ye Chen's body, his muscles swelled, his Taoist robe fluttered, and the blade light in his hand became stronger and stronger, gradually seeming to turn into a golden sun, swallowing up Ye Chen's body.
"You really overestimate your own abilities. You didn't even use the secret method of sacrifice to unleash the maximum power of the Xuantian Mirror. Instead, you just mobilized the earth power accumulated in the Xuandu Formation to perform the technique of combining man and sword!"
The old demon Youtong watched from afar as Ye Chen used the power of the formation to maximize the technique of man and sword becoming one. A look of surprise first appeared on his face, and then he showed a contemptuous sneer.
A dazzling and extremely heavy yellow light ball passed through the light curtain, rose from the light curtain, and crashed into the upside-down blood river.
The yellow light ball hides an extremely sharp blade and a heavy force as terrifying as a mountain.
As soon as it passed through the light curtain and rose from the light curtain, the evil clouds that were constantly pressing down from all directions rolled back like huge waves.
Even the blood river hanging down seemed to be blocked by a heavy and sharp force. The mighty momentum of its fall weakened, and the blood river raised huge waves, as if unwilling to be blocked.
"How can he be so strong!?"
The old demon Youtong's expression changed slightly, and a hint of shock and surprise flashed in his eyes.
"What if you become stronger? You will still die!"
The shock and surprise in the old demon Youtong's eyes instantly turned back into cruelty and ruthlessness.
The river of blood rushed down with great momentum.
In the river of blood, a huge bat head appeared, with its huge mouth opened and ferocious fangs exposed, trying to swallow the yellow light ball.
"boom!"
The river of blood and the ball of light like the sun collided violently.
The blood-yellow light instantly dyed the entire sky.
The bloody yellow light faded away, revealing the real purpose.
A yellow broadsword and a bloody scimitar collided fiercely in the air.
“Dang! Dang! Dang!”
The sound of metal clashing continued to ring out, shaking the heavens and the earth.
A figure fell out with a yellow sword, and then fell down with the sword, blood splattered.
The blood-red scimitar chased after Ye Chen who was falling.
At this time, a ray of light shot out from the Xuantian Mirror and turned into a giant earth-colored sword, slashing at the blood-colored scimitar.
Swords clashed.
The earth-colored giant sword turned into dots of yellow light and disappeared.
The blood-red scimitar hummed and rippled with blood, eventually turning into a blood rainbow that broke through the air and returned to the hands of the old demon Youtong.
The old demon Youtong had a gloomy and ugly expression on his face, and the skin on his face was shaking and twisting.
The old demon Youtong led the elite troops of the Netherworld and besieged Jiuxuan Mountain for nearly half a year. It was only in the past few days that he used his real killing move. His purpose was to slowly wear down the Jiuxuan Sect's strength like boiling a frog in warm water, and then launch a thundering offensive to defeat the formation in one fell swoop and kill his way into Jiuxuan Mountain.
After all, the Jiuxuan Sect is an ancient sect. No matter how declining it is, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse.
If he had adopted a brute force attack from the beginning, he would certainly have won, but the price he paid would have been very high.
Not only would his elite troops suffer heavy casualties, but he himself would also be over-exerted and even injured.
Three days ago, he forced a ninth-grade immortal of Jiuxuan Sect to sacrifice himself with a single blow of his sword to block his sword. The old demon Youtong thought that his plan had succeeded and the destruction of Jiuxuan Sect was in sight.
As a result, three days ago, Yinranyue emerged unexpectedly and blocked his second attack.
However, Patriarch Youtong didn't really care, because Yin Ranyue could only block one of his swords.
He was sure that when he struck with his third strike, he would be able to force the Jiuxuan Sect to sacrifice another ninth-grade immortal.
It is not difficult to kill the ninth-grade true immortal, Patriarch Youtong.
What made him worried was that the Ninth Rank True Immortal and the Jiuxuan Sect's formation complemented each other. He could maximize the power of the formation, and at the same time he could use the formation to exert his maximum combat power.
Therefore, the person that Patriarch Youtong most wanted to wear down and then kill with one strike was the Ninth-Rank True Immortal of Jiuxuan Sect.
But now, Ye Chen's fighting power was far beyond his expectations.
Nearly half a year of siege not only failed to wear Ye Chen out, but on the contrary, his cultivation had a breakthrough. With the help of the formation, he was able to barely block his third sword, and with the help of the Xuantian Mirror, he escaped.
Not only that, the power of the Xuantian Mirror has also increased significantly.
"It seems that we still underestimated the strength of Jiuxuan Sect. It still has some good things hidden!" Soon, the old demon Youtong gritted his teeth and said.
"The Palace Master is wise, it must be so. Otherwise, we have been besieging him for nearly half a year, and Ye Chen's cultivation level would not have decreased but increased." The enchanting woman complimented hurriedly.
The old demon Youtong did not respond to the woman's compliment, but gently stroked the bloodthirsty magic knife with his hand, and blood flashed in his pair of strange and cruel eyes.
"Master, how about I take some people to go around and collect some blood and vitality from the strong, so as to increase the offensive?" Seeing this, the enchanting woman hesitated for a while and carefully repeated the old words.
The old demon Youtong waved his hand and said, "This battle should not be dragged on any longer, nor should it cause any unnecessary complications!"
After saying that, the bloodshot eyes of the old demon Youtong suddenly brightened, and swept below.
"Use the secret art of the Netherworld Devouring Life to devour your own vitality and blood, and launch an all-out attack!"
The cold and ruthless voice of the old demon Youtong came from the bloody throne.
All the elite True Immortals of the Netherworld under the blood-red throne changed their expressions slightly, and a hint of reluctance flashed in the depths of their eyes, but no one dared to disobey the orders of the old demon Youtong.
"We will follow the Palace Master's orders!" Everyone bowed, including the two ninth-grade True Immortals under the blood-red throne.
Doors to hell appeared in the sky.
The rolling Netherworld death force surged out from the gate of the Netherworld, manifesting as gigantic Netherworld pythons.
The Hell Python is covered with scales.
The scales are cold and dark, shining with metallic luster.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
Huge underworld pythons continuously attacked the light curtain of the formation, and their thick bodies covered with hard and cold scales were swung high in the air and fell down like thick iron whips.
The light curtain vibrated violently, and runes fell.
The mountains under the light curtain also began to shake, rocks rolled down, and runes flashed.
In a short while, dense cracks like a spider web appeared on the light curtain.
The breaches on the Xuansha Peak and Diyou Peak were getting bigger and bigger.
Rolling evil clouds rushed in, and the blood cocoons and black cocoons grew larger and larger.
When the old demon Youtong saw this, he curled his lips into a cruel sneer.
But soon, the sneer on the old demon Youtong's mouth gradually solidified, and the muscles on his face began to twist and tremble.
Under the light curtain, except for the Xuansha Peak and the Diyou Peak, runes on every mountain kept lighting up. The runes flashed and flowed, and soon gathered into immortal soldiers and generals wearing golden armor and holding magical weapons. They stepped out of the light curtain and fought with the huge Netherworld Pythons in the air.
The immortal soldiers and generals were clearly at a disadvantage, and were constantly swept away by the Netherworld Python and turned into dissipated specks of light.
However, the elite troops of the Netherworld did not hesitate to sacrifice their own vitality and blood, and the momentum of their fierce attack slowed down at the same time.
The secret technique devours vitality and blood. Once it is used, it cannot be delayed for long!
"Impossible! How is it possible that the Jiuxuan Sect still has such a powerful fighting force!" The charming woman showed a look of shock.
"Humph, it's really impossible! This should be their last burst of energy before death, it will not last long!" said the old demon Youtong sinisterly.
After saying that, the old demon Youtong swept his bloodshot eyes below even more ferociously.
"Use your full strength to perform the secret technique! Anyone who dares to slack off will be killed without mercy!"
The eerie and cruel voice echoed between heaven and earth. The bloodthirsty devil knife broke through the air, emitting a bloody light in the air and transformed into a giant blood bat.
The blood bat opened its ferocious bloody mouth and bit down fiercely at a sixth-grade true immortal below.
"Ancestor, spare my life!"
The sixth-rank True Immortal screamed in horror.
“Crack!”
The blood bat bit him in one bite, its sharp fangs protruding from his back, blood hanging from the tips of its fangs, dripping down.
Soon, the blood bat turned into a bloodthirsty devil sword again and flew away.
A pile of bones fell from the sky.
When everyone in the Netherworld saw this scene, they all showed fear in their eyes and sweat on their foreheads.
The surging vitality and blood poured out of his body like crazy and penetrated into the gate of the underworld.
Their bodies are aging and shriveling at a rate visible to the naked eye.
"BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!"
The fighting became more and more intense.
Everyone worked hard to operate the formation, and the immortal soldiers and generals that appeared were swept away by the increasingly ferocious and powerful Netherworld Python. They exploded one after another and turned into nothingness.
Under the light curtain, some of the mountains that formed the nodes of the formation could not withstand the impact and exploded and collapsed one after another, with rocks flying everywhere and dust rising.
The cracks in the light curtain, which had begun to gradually recover, began to increase in number and size, becoming shaky but did not collapse.
The war between the two major forces finally began to become truly intense at this moment.
On the bloody throne, the old demon Youtong did not take action, but watched the battle coldly while resting.
He couldn't let his men's vitality and blood go to waste. He had to take advantage of their full-scale attack and strike out the powerful fourth sword as soon as possible.
This battle has dragged on for too long, and the old demon Youtong is unwilling to drag it on any longer, even if there will be some heavy losses.
In Xuanting Palace, on the throne representing the peak master, Qin Ziling was also watching the battle coldly.
However, most of the people in his Qiankun Cave Heaven had already been sent out.
They entered each peak carrying tokens representing the supreme command of the sect master.
Those at the eighth rank will enter the Disha Peak, and those at the ninth rank will enter the six peaks except Xuandu Peak, Xuanting Peak and Xuansha Peak.
During the fierce battle, the disciples of Wuji Sect did not take action, but watched and familiarized themselves with the formations on the major mountains.
The only exception is Diyou Peak.
Diyou Peak is now in name only, with no disciples stationed there.
As the army of the Netherworld did not hesitate to use secret techniques to devour and transform their own powerful vitality and blood, the black cocoon wrapped around Diyou Peak now grew rapidly, emitting an extremely cold and powerful breath of death. Wherever the breath passed, the grass and trees withered and turned into flowing black water. It was much more terrifying .
Inside this huge black cocoon, five Hades Immortal Generals were sitting cross-legged, opening their mouths and sucking fiercely at the cocoon wall that was rolling like thick ink.
A whirlpool appeared in their mouths, and the Netherworldly death force rolling like thick ink on the cocoon wall was sucked out, forming a black "water column" that continuously fell into their mouths.
At the same time, two more streams of ink-thick Netherworld Death Force rushed out from their nostrils and sank into the black cocoons, making up for the Netherworld Death Force that they had absorbed.
Stealing one thing and changing another!
The five Hades Immortal Generals have already mastered this move.
In the past, they always hid in the cave world to play, but this time they hid in the underground peak.
The people in the Netherworld Palace did not know that the death force they had transformed with secret techniques and had finally managed to penetrate into the enemy through the gap was being devoured and refined by the five Netherworld Immortal Generals, and the black cocoon they saw growing larger was constantly being replaced.
The way of death is extremely mysterious and profound.
They only used secret techniques to transform the power of death, but they could not truly control the power of death, nor did they dare to let the power of death enter their bodies.
This meant that the fruit of their hard work was swapped, but they were still unaware and continued to be the ones being taken advantage of.
As a Taoist immortal, if Old Demon Youtong observes carefully, he will definitely find clues.
But unfortunately, the old demon Youtong would never have thought that the Jiuxuan Sect, which had already become his possession, actually still hid a terrifying group of people, including five powerful underworld immortal generals.
He was resting at this time, wanting to find an opportunity to completely defeat the formation with a single blow, rush into the Jiuxuan Sect and start a massacre. He would not pay any attention to the subtle changes on the Diyou Peak.
Another two days passed.
The battle is becoming increasingly intense.
Many peaks of Jiuxuan Mountain have collapsed, and the formation is already on the verge of crumbling. But every time it is about to collapse, powerful pillars of power always burst out from Xuandu Peak and Xuanting Peak to support the crumbling formation.
"kill!"
The bloodthirsty devil's sword turned into a terrifying river of blood that spanned the sky and slashed towards the formation again.
Inside Xuanting Palace, Qin Ziling's lips curled up into a sneer of success.
"You're finally starting to lose your patience!"
At Xuandu Peak, Ye Chen once again fought his way out of the formation.
The blood river and the yellow sun collided with each other, dyeing the sky, and then the blood sword and the horizontal sword fought in the air.
Ye Chen was still defeated, and soon fell with his sword out of his grasp, blood spilling into the sky as he fell downwards.
The bloodthirsty devil's knife is chasing him.
The Xuantian Mirror gathered the power of the formation and condensed into a giant sword to resist again.
The greatsword collapsed.
The bloodthirsty devil's sword took advantage of the situation and swung down.
“Boom!”
Cut it down with one blow.
A horrifying blood-red crack suddenly spread from one end of the light curtain to the other. The bright red color spread along the crack, staining half of the light curtain.
On the blood-red throne, when the old demon Youtong saw this, a hint of hesitation first flashed in his blood-red eyes, but soon the hesitation turned into ruthlessness and determination.
A stream of blood spurted out from the mouth of the old demon Youtong.
They turned into blood symbols and sank into the bloodthirsty devil's sword.
The bloodthirsty devil's blade shone brightly with blood, and its terrifying aura swept across the sky and earth, causing panic in everyone's hearts, as if the end of the world was about to come.
The originally handsome and young old demon Youtong looked a little old at this time.
"hiss!"
A sharp sound came from the bloodthirsty demon knife.
A river of blood once again stretched across the sky, rushing down towards the light curtain fiercely, trying to take advantage of the light curtain to completely destroy it when it cracked.
At this moment, thunder and lightning struck Xuanting Peak, and the lightning was blazing.
