Chapter 1518 - Chapter 1518 Chapter Nineteen Song of Blood_2

Chapter 1518: Chapter Nineteen: Song of Blood_2 Chapter 1518: Chapter Nineteen: Song of Blood_2 But as they drew closer to the long street, the masters began to waver.

The Blood Fiend’s evil Qi was simply too intense; they felt at a loss on how to proceed, except for one middle-aged man dressed as a Taoist who was fearless and began to draw symbols with accmulated Spiritual Power.

“Cinnabar Fire Cloud, command heaven and earth. Capture Demon Qi above, slay evil miasma below. Lightning flashes continuously, wind blows without cease. Transform true form, pay homage to the emperor. Flying Thunder Talisman, fall!”

He cast the spiritual talisman towards the sky, and as he chanted the runes, the talisman transformed into a thundercloud, booming loudly as several bolts of lightning struck towards the blood cloud.

The Taoist squinted, a smug smile flickering across his lips, confronting the Blood Fiend’s contamination which ordinary people desperately avoided.

According to ancient texts, since the river of the underworld was destroyed by the Dragon Clan, no formidable evil Qi had existed in the world; a single true thunderbolt could deter and annihilate evil.

Divine lightning ferociously struck the blood cloud; instead of dissipating, the blood cloud devoured the divine lightning and grew even larger!

The Taoist could scarcely believe his eyes, his mind echoing with only one thought.

An evil existence that could devour true lightning? Impossible!

Unable to dispel the blood cloud with thunder arts, his actions alerted Chadi. To the Blood God, the warriors of Fierce Realm were an utmost nourishing feast.

“Muahahaha!”

A blood shadow flashed, covering hundreds of yards in an instant, shocking the Taoist as his torso was pierced open with a large hole.

Before his fellow powerhouses could react, Chadi, wielding a bloody giant blade, embarked on a massacre. His fierce Evil Qi severely repressed both Spirit Arts and physical bodies.

With his speed and strength far exceeding the Martial Ancestor, the guardians of Jianchuan City didn’t even have the chance to defend themselves; they were quickly tainted by the Blood Fiend.

Knowing they couldn’t resist, the Jianchuan City guardians attempted to escape, only to find the blood poison vicious, its attack instant, causing even their souls to wail in pain.

In less than a hundred breaths, Chadi transformed the several Fierce Realm guardians of Jianchuan City into Blood Rakshasas like himself.

Unlike him, these newly created Blood Rakshasas harbored souls bound in unbearable pain, consumed with a desire to destroy all life.

“Go forth and destroy everything you see, praise our master with the soaring blood light!”

Chadi commanded the transformed Blood Rakshasas, turning the former protectors of Jianchuan City into slaughterers.

At the Longzhou Battlefield, Chengzhou border

“Please follow this Sect to Tian Zong, Tang Tianjiao. This time, I am here on behalf of the righteous path of Zhongzhou to investigate rumors about Longzhou. If Tang Tianjiao has not used soul sacrificing techniques, then there is nothing to fear, right?”

Square-faced and filled with righteousness, the robe of the Eclipse Sect fluttered furiously in the fierce wind.

They say timing is everything. Just as Chu Xuanyun arrived in Zhongzhou, he stumbled upon Tang Luo battling four masters from the Evil King Palace. His first words after mediating the situation were asking Tang Luo to come with him.

This blatantly obvious intention made Tang Luo scoff, “Eclipse Sect, are you interested in the rumors or something else? We both know the truth. Let’s skip the pretense and fight!”

“Why must Tang Tianjiao be so obstinate?”

Chu Xuanyun sighed, “This time, over ten righteous sects of Beimang in Zhongzhou have issued a proclamation to give the people of Xiehe an explanation. Even though Tianjiao is the youngest master in Xiehe, one can’t twist an arm stronger than their own. Please reconsider.”

“Stop talking already, I can almost smell the sanctimonious hypocrisy radiating off you.”

Waving his hand in front of his nose, Tang Luo frowned, “Is this a personal habit, or is the Eclipse Sect always this deceitful?”

With Chu Xuanyun unable to persuade through words and continuously cornered, the Grandmaster of the Eclipse Sect naturally had to adopt harsh measures, joining forces with the four masters from the Evil King Palace to strike against the Void Spiritual Body.

Five Grandmasters joined forces, one of whom was from the Superior Heavenly Sect of Zhongzhou, significantly increasing the pressure on Tang Luo.

Fortunately, this battle wasn’t a do-or-die situation, so it was acceptable to avoid confrontation when outmatched.

During his strategic retreat, Tang Luo also analyzed the strengths and weaknesses of the martial art techniques of the Evil King Palace and the Eclipse Sect.

Even among the Grandmasters of the same sect, each focused on different aspects.

For instance, the four from the Evil King Palace all used the Mimicry Technique for Soul Casting and fused the shattered spiritual bodies with soul beasts. However, each person’s technique had distinct characteristics. Apart from the innate traits of the mimicked ferocious beasts, their own personalities also played a role.

It was just like when Tang Luo had considered the advantages and disadvantages of several Soul Casting methods in the past; the Mimicry Technique ultimately involved mirroring animal souls with human souls and would somewhat adopt the behaviors of the ferocious beasts.

The more primal and wild, the stronger they became. For example, Duan Longyan and Duan Longguang, although both were top Grandmasters with more than 250,000 Spiritual Power, would let their soul beasts roar in battle, giving Tang Luo an impression he was fighting real beasts.

Furthermore, in the actual combat experience, the soul spirits of the dragons visualized by the two Grandmasters seemed to have lost the ability to speak, only capable of howling.

This made Tang Luo curious; if either of these old Grandmasters really broke through to the King Realm, would they actually transform into a Dragon Beast?

The thought had just crossed his mind when he dismissed it–not because he feared it coming true, but because he was certain that these two from the Evil King Palace had no chance of making that leap.

They were both too old, long past the time to accumulate the remaining 50,000 Spiritual Power needed for a breakthrough.

After evaluating the martial prowess of the Evil King Palace, Tang Luo shifted his attention to Chu Xuanyun.

The martial art characteristics of the Eclipse Sect were completely different from those of the Evil King Palace, focusing on a standard path of Spiritual Power research, advocating intricately structured and energy-enhancing techniques to achieve lethal strikes.

This was vividly embodied in the martial arts style of Chu Xuanyun, who, besides mastering various levels of Spirit Arts, possessed a hybrid spiritual body forged from multiple types of Spiritual Power, capable of handling and controlling three to four different types of Spiritual Power simultaneously.

Combined with his amplified divine soul, it allowed him to unleash spiritual attacks far surpassing those of an ordinary Grandmaster. The only issue was his inadequate control of Spiritual Power.

This caused his deployed Spirit Arts to be sufficiently powerful, but due to their immense strength, they could not be precisely controlled. Not only was the energy signature exposed, but the predetermined trajectory of the Spirit Arts was also obvious, making it hard for someone like Tang Luo, who could see the flow of Spiritual Power, to get hit by such straightforward attacks.

Of course, what Tang Luo saw as flaws might not be entirely correct.

The Evil King Palace and the Eclipse Sect were once dominant sects, and any typical aristocratic Grandmaster analyzing their martial techniques could only be profoundly impressed.

At the end of the day, it was because he had read too many ancient martial arts scriptures, becoming overly critical.

In that era of a hundred schools of thought contending and numerous beings rising, the Human Race engaged in extensive academic exchanges to combat the Demon Race.

But now, with the decline of the Demon Race and the flourishing of human martial arts, such academic exchanges have become increasingly rare, with more frequent conflicts among the same race occurring instead.

Every sect treated their research as treasures, striving to find a broader path from a rugged and winding road.

Just like the once prominent Feitian Clan in ancient times, it was ultimately proven to be a misguided path, and perhaps the current martial arts were the same.

Today’s martial arts that could crown a king were called ‘true methods,’ but Tang Luo highly doubted whether becoming a king was truly the ultimate achievement in martial arts.

He knew of a vast and boundless world beyond the Nine Heavens, where even the Human King, Saint Lord, was insignificant.

A solitary divine light from Xiang Liu’s dragon horn interrupted Tang Luo’s thoughts, who had just reached the Nine Heavens, looking up to see a sky full of stars.

Tang Luo looked back with a taunting smile, then plunged headfirst into the Endless Void, while the five Martial Ancestors who had been relentlessly pursuing him halted in their tracks.

Just like the simple wisdom of not fighting a water-affiliated Grandmaster in a great marsh or engaging an ice-affiliated Grandmaster on a glacier, these Grandmasters did not want to confront a Void Grandmaster in the Endless Void. Chu Xuanyun and the four Grandmasters from the Evil King Palace were not eager to be the first to take the risk.

As Tang Luo retreated into the Endless Void and looked down at the five Grandmasters stopped below the Nine Heavens, he also internally regretted that his intentions to fight while retreating had been too obvious.
