Chapter 1512: Chapter 16: Life and Death_2 Chapter 1512: Chapter 16: Life and Death_2 Thousands of tree nests contracted to their limit, the ancient trees casting a vibrant greenish-silver glow.
“Chirp-chirp-chirp-chirp-chirp!”
A pair of playful eyes opened in the blood-red canopy, followed by a massive maw that spoke in the language of the realm spirits, “So the world, brimming with life, treats lambs in the same way. Is this what they call a convergence of paths?”
Atop the towering ancient trees, a face slowly emerged. If members of the elfin race were still around, they would recognize this as the true god of their world, the origin of all things.
Yet perhaps nobody had anticipated that this origin was not a false semblance of holiness, but a realm spirit living in the heart of the Realm Heart.
“The sea of blood ends all, everything returns to the one from whence it came. So long as the ancient trees persist, there will always be another era.”
The giant tree spoke to the Blood God, “Just by devouring you, it won’t be long before the Spirit World returns to its original state.”
“Muhahahahahaha.”
Colossal waves rose from the bloody sea as the Blood God retorted to the ancient tree, “Life and death, existence and oblivion. From now on, this place shall be called the Blood God World!”

Qutang City Battlefield
Void Grandmaster Tang Luo faced off against seven opponents without losing ground, a scenario Duan Zhenyao had never envisioned.
The strategy was for the five clan grandmasters to hold Tang Luo back while they launched a combined ambush, a tactic that should have been flawless. However, the plan was ruined by the unforeseen flexibility of Tang Luo’s Void Spiritual Body which, apart from transforming into a giant, could also become small and nimble.
Even if his soul was targeted, one had to stay utterly focused and not let guard down for a second, because you never knew when Tang Luo would traverse the battlefield and sneak attack another target.
His attack power wasn’t weak; it only seemed so relative to the despair-inducing defense of the Void Spiritual Body. Aside from lacking group attack maneuvers, in single combat, Tang Luo was incredibly strong.
Another heartbreaker was that the grand skills the clan grandmasters took pride in were, until now, entirely ineffective against Tang Luo.
Illusory Grandmaster Liu Miaotian’s illusory Dharma Body could transform in thousands of ways, blurring the line between illusion and reality to confound the enemy, but Tang Luo could always pick out the real body from the illusions–a few sneak attacks caused Liu Miaotian to be in constant peril.
Meanwhile, Master Duanyang, Mu Lianyin, with his extremely Yin Innate Xuan Ming Qi, was sought out by Duan Zhenyao specifically for the hope that the former’s cold energy could slow down the speed of the Void Spiritual Body. Yet, it proved utterly ineffective against Tang Luo.
To say it had no effect wasn’t entirely accurate – when Mu Lianyin’s Innate Xuan Ming Qi hit Tang Luo, it would either transform into the Innate Divine Sword or return with the Starshifting counter, leaving the other grandmasters disheveled and Mu Lianyin unsure if he should even continue attacking.
The remaining combatants Liu Pi, Jade Cauldron Grandmaster Nong Tianxin, and Innate Grandmaster He Yuechan constituted the main force besieging Tang Luo. The clay dolls formed by the Innate Earth magic crumbled with each punch from Tang Luo, the Xuan Ding soul tool was not deployed for fear of being shattered by the Yin-Yang Grinding, and while He Yuechan’s Innate Qi was commendable, it matched evenly with Tang Luo’s Innate Divine Sword.
Round after round of Spirit Arts would leave Tang Luo unscathed, while a sudden punch would send several grandmasters’ spiritual bodies reeling.
The problem was that Tang Luo, who favored close combat, stayed exceedingly near to the clan grandmasters. This proximity meant that Duan Zhenyao and Duan Siping couldn’t find a good opportunity to unleash their combined strike.
“This can’t go on.”
Duan Zhenyao communicated telepathically to Duan Siping, “As soon as Tang Luo’s punch is spent, throw the combined strike at him – break his Void Spiritual Body first!”
“We must not!”
Duan Siping exclaimed in shock, “Right now Tang Luo is entangled with He Yuechan. If we unleash the combined strike, Master He will undoubtedly be doomed!”
“That is the price we must pay for defending justice!”
Duan Zhenyao stated resolutely, “Fighting a grandmaster like Tang Luo, do you really think, Siping, we can take him down without any battle damage? To think otherwise is simply too naive!”
“But…”
Duan Siping’s heart harbored hesitation, but then he heard Duan Zhenyao suddenly exclaim, “Don’t hesitate any longer, Tang Luo’s punch is already spent, unleash the Spirit Art!”
Under Duan Zhenyao’s guidance, the two masters launched the long-prepared “Seven Deadly Evil Dragon Wave.”
Unexpectedly, Tang Luo, who seemed spent, unexpectedly bent his body back at an improbable angle, leaving He Yuechan alone to face the ferocious “Seven Deadly Evil Dragon Wave.”
Seven different attributes tangled together, each breaking through three qualitative transformations of spiritual energy, conjured an ethereal evil dragon shadow that pierced through He Yuechan’s body.
He Yuechan, a renowned Innate Grandmaster of the He Family for decades, was obliterated by this series of tens of thousands of killing moves of the Spirit Art, reduced to ash.
And Tang Luo, who narrowly dodged the “Seven Deadly Evil Dragon Wave” shadow, was also knocked flying by the shockwave. Under normal circumstances, such a gaping flaw would be followed by a round of pursuit from the several clan masters, but at this moment, they just stood in the firmament, staring blankly as the ethereal dragon shadow flew further and further away.
Due to limitations in their cultivation techniques, most masters were unable to take the step towards evolving their spiritual bodies. Had it been Xiao Jinlin or Xu You today, facing the “Seven Deadly Evil Dragon Wave,”
they might have transformed into hundreds of dragon shadows to dodge, or blossomed into Spiritual Fire to reduce the impact, sustaining injuries but not death. However, for these masters, a direct hit from the dragon shadow meant certain death with no place to bury their bodies.
Perhaps the camaraderie of the four great families was nothing but polite lip service, but when He Yuechan died before their eyes, it did stir a sorrowful emotion akin to the anguish of the death of a rabbit and the grief of the fox within the hearts of the clan masters.
“Hahaha, what a fierce Spirit Art, I almost got hit by it,” Tang Luo, who had heard every transmission between the two masters from beginning to end, stood firm in the void, wiped the non-existent sweat from his brow, and said to the two masters from Evil King Palace with ashen faces, “While the joint attack wasn’t bad, your aim was really off the mark, hahaha.”
“Shameless boy, cease your agitations!”
Duan Zhenyao, furious and embarrassed, exclaimed, “The next ‘Seven Deadly Evil Dragon Wave’ will surely shatter your Void Spiritual Body!”
“Is that so? It might be quite difficult,” Tang Luo responded, pointing at the other four masters, “It seems that when Evil King Palace invited assistance, you didn’t make the situation clear, so now seeing Master He dead, the seniors seem a bit scared!”
At this moment, Liu Miaotian and the other three had banded together and stood far off, showing no intention of attacking Tang Luo again, and their eyes occasionally swept towards Duan Zhenyao and Duan Siping, betraying a hint of dissatisfaction.
Just as Tang Luo said, when Duan Zhenyao initially invited them to assist, he hadn’t mentioned the risk of death, only discussing Tang Luo’s tenacious Void Battle Body, and its seemingly inadequate offensive power.
Although after the bout, they realized that Tang Luo’s offensive power wasn’t low either, it was at least within the threshold that the masters’ spiritual bodies could withstand. Since promises were made, they had no choice but to pinch their noses and fight on.
But they hadn’t expected the two from Evil King Palace to be so ruthless, abandoning the camaraderie of allies as soon as they seemed to be at a slight disadvantage, directly using a Spirit Art.
Poor He Yuechan, the main force in the battle, was directly torn into ash by the dragon shadow. Perhaps the Innate Grandmaster couldn’t have imagined until his death that after withstanding Tang Luo’s punches, he would die under the combined attack of his allies–how chilling!
“Do not listen to the thief’s incitement, just now… that was just an accident,”
With the mistake already made, the most critical thing was to achieve their aim. Duan Siping clenched his teeth and said to the four masters who retreated to the edge, “If we don’t eliminate Tang Luo today, when he comes to settle the score in the future, it will be a disaster! Just now, he was hit by the residual wave of the Evil Dragon, and he’s already injured. This moment is a rare opportunity for exorcising the demon!”
His words caused a change of expression among the four masters. After the recent exchange, they had begun to fear Tang Luo’s talents and strength.
Even though they wanted to withdraw immediately, the thought of becoming mortal enemies with such a person still made them anxious.
But no matter how anxious they were, to cooperate with Evil King Palace again would be pure folly–they didn’t possess the strength to withstand the “Seven Deadly Evil Dragon Wave.”
Yet, pondering Duan Siping’s words, they were indeed moved; after all, if they retreated now, He Yuechan would have died in vain.
Could it be that Tang Luo was truly injured? The four masters couldn’t help but shift their gaze to Tang Luo, trying to discern any hints from his face as calm as still water.
With a cheery smile, Tang Luo stretched out his hand and beckoned to them, “Want to know if I’m hurt? It’s easy, come and fight again.”
