Chapter 382: Chapter 58 Cultivation! Luo Cheng Must Die!

The breeze blew gently, accompanied by a steady drizzle.

Soon after leaving Jinyu Peak, with a clap of spring thunder, the sky turned to rain.

Within the clouds, the wings of the Sky Wind Vulture sliced through the curtain of rain, leaving a sharp and clear fissure as it glided steadily.

The Sky Wind Vulture was a Four-star Demon Beast and had no issue flying through rainy weather.

The swirling dark green Demon Qi around it created a natural barrier, completely isolating the rain.

Chen Lingyu stood beside Luo Cheng, her face pouting in frustration as she grumbled:

"Luo Cheng, since you’ve Achieved Divine Bridge, why didn’t you tell us sooner? Your earlier duel with Hua Jingyang nearly scared me to death!"

Lin Xiaoyun chuckled and replied, "If we told you, would you have believed it?"

"Of course not! Who would believe someone could progress from the Transcendence Realm to Achieve Divine Bridge in just a few months? I’ve been stuck at the Third Layer Peak of the Tongxuan Realm for nearly half a year and still haven’t reached Divine Bridge."

Chen Lingyu rolled her eyes but then squinted with a mischievous smile, exclaiming, "This time we’ve won first place in the Three Sects Martial Arts Competition! When the news spreads back to the Sect, I can only imagine the uproar!"

Luo Cheng smiled faintly but chose not to continue this topic.

Recalling Elder Wu Shan’s words, Luo Cheng turned to Elder Chen Xuan and asked:

"Master, the Blood Demon is an evil entity birthed in regions dense with Blood Fiend Qi. What connection does it have with the Blood Nether Sect?"

Elder Chen Xuan’s expression shifted slightly as he explained:

"The birth of the Blood Demon requires the convergence of specific time, place, and conditions. Moreover, the Blood Nether Sect possesses a secret technique capable of refining human Essence Blood into Elixir Pills. These pills can be used for cultivation or to nourish the Blood Demon! It’s said that one of the Supreme Elders of the Blood Nether Sect is himself a Blood Demon and consumes the Essence Blood of thousands daily!"

"The appearance of the Blood Demon, coupled with large-scale blood pill refining, makes it hard not to suspect the Blood Nether Sect."

Refining human Essence Blood into Elixir Pills...

Luo Cheng’s brow furrowed at the memory of the eerie black-robed individual he had encountered in Qishan City and the terrifying intent interwoven into his Essence Blood.

The mysterious presence behind those blood-red pupils—could it be related to the Blood Nether Sect?

Elder Chen Xuan, oblivious to Luo Cheng’s change in expression, continued:

"In its prime, the Blood Nether Sect controlled the majority of the Great Cloud Domain Group’s dynasties. Beneath their mountain gate, Blood Feng City housed tens of millions of inhabitants year-round. These people were used either as materials for refining elixirs or as blood sacrifices to feed the Blood Demon."

"Using humans for alchemy and feeding a nefarious Blood Demon! How cruel!" Chen Lingyu exclaimed, her brow deeply furrowed.

Elder Chen Xuan shook his head solemnly, sighing:

"The actual circumstances were even worse. When the Great Chu Empress defeated the Blood Nether Sect and entered Blood Feng City, there was a sea of corpses stretching a thousand miles and mountains made of severed heads! Malice filled the skies! Even the peerless Great Chu Empress couldn’t dispel it. To this day, Blood Feng City remains a forbidden zone devoid of life."

At these words, an icy chill permeated the air. Everyone instinctively hunched their shoulders against the cold.

"Enough, don’t dwell on such dark matters. If the sky falls, those of towering strength will bear it. For now, your task is to improve your abilities. If the Blood Nether Sect truly resurges, you must be strong enough to protect yourselves."

Elder Chen Xuan shifted the conversation, turning to face Luo Cheng:

"Luo Cheng, the Extreme Dao Sect is incredibly prestigious across the Great Cloud Domain Group. Even the Great Chu Empress once trained there; its foundations run deep. Why did you reject Elder Wu Shan?"

Chen Lingyu and the others turned their eyes to Luo Cheng simultaneously.

Luo Cheng calmly replied, "I awakened the Wasted Martial Soul. Without Master and Senior Sister Yun Mengli, there would be no Luo Cheng today."

"Moreover, the Extreme Dao Sect is aligned with the Great Chu Dynasty."

"The Great Chu Dynasty and our Great Yue Dynasty have had conflicts in the past—a history of national feuds and personal grievances. Though recent years have seen a veneer of peace, turbulent currents stir beneath."

"Martial Artists should not let worldly matters shackle them, yet as a son of the Great Yue Dynasty, joining the Extreme Dao Sect would go against my Sword Dao and harm my cultivation."

"Haha! Well said! Cultivation is cultivation—one must nurture their true self and follow their own path! To stay true and unclouded by greed, honoring one’s essence, that is the genuine Way of the Martial Artist! Luo Cheng, I admire you more and more!"

The Ninth Elder burst into hearty laughter.

Elder Chen Xuan’s eyes also gleamed with approval as he smiled, "Luo Cheng, your conviction is admirable. Rest assured, as your master, I will spare no effort in finding a way to rejuvenate your Martial Soul."

"Thank you, Master!"

Luo Cheng nodded. Just as he was about to inquire further about the rejuvenation technique, an ominous sensation stirred within him, prompting him to lift his gaze toward the western skies.

At that moment, Elder Chen Xuan’s face darkened as he shouted:

"Scatter!"

Whoosh!

The Sky Wind Vulture flapped its wings violently, creating a thunderous airburst as it veered dramatically to both sides.

Simultaneously—

A fierce fist imprint tore through the clouds, appearing with startling speed above the group. The surrounding rain evaporated into nothingness before it!

The fist imprint was so swift that the Sky Wind Vulture carrying Luo Cheng couldn’t completely evade it.

"Break for me!"

Elder Chen Xuan bellowed, Essence Energy surging around him as he shielded Luo Cheng and the others behind him. With a flick of his finger, he unleashed a condensed beam of light.

Boom!

The rampant fist imprint shattered upon impact, unleashing a massive shockwave that instantly cleared several kilometers of rainfall, creating a vast vacuum in the air!

The Sky Wind Vulture was struck by the residual force, letting out hoarse screams as blood spurted from its mouth!

Buzz!

Elder Chen Xuan conjured a dark green Essence Energy Shield, encasing Luo Cheng and the others securely within, averting imminent danger.

"Who dares? Show yourself!"

The Ninth Elder, incensed, bolted skyward, sweeping his spear toward the source of the fist imprint.

Boom!

The entire sky trembled as massive fragments of clouds dispersed.

A majestic Fiery Fire Bird burst forth from the clouds, carrying two figures on its back.

It was none other than Fierce Cloud Sect’s Great Elder Ren Kui and Sun Yingyang!

"So, it’s you!"

The Ninth Elder fixed his glare on the two, his brow twitching and his eyes blazing with fury as he growled:

"What now? Having lost at the Three Sects Martial Arts Competition, are you resorting to such underhanded tactics? Does your Fierce Cloud Sect have no shame?"

"Hmph! Don’t twist it! To confront you, why would I stoop to such measures?"

Essence Energy surged around Sun Yingyang as he stepped forward with piercing eyes locked onto Luo Cheng:

"This person has a personal quarrel with me. Hand him over, and everything can be resolved amicably!"

The Ninth Elder suppressed his anger, sneering: "And you think we’ll just hand him over because you demand it? Who do you think you are? Luo Cheng, a disciple of the Xuanyuan Sect, is not for you to meddle with! If it’s battle you want, I’ll gladly oblige!"

Boom!

The Ninth Elder let out a heavy snort as a blazing Flowing Flame surged to life behind him. The overwhelming aura scattered the remaining clouds, allowing sunlight to flood through.

Buzz!

In a swift motion, Elder Chen Xuan sent Luo Cheng and his companions to another Sky Wind Vulture.

Elder Chen Xuan instructed Peng Shan and Xue Yun, "Take Luo Cheng and the others and get as far away as possible!"

"Master!"

Chen Lingyu furrowed her brows.

"Go now! Their target is Luo Cheng! I’ve already sent out a distress signal. Just head south, do not look back!"

Elder Chen Xuan’s tone was cold and resolute.

Ren Kui stepped off the back of the Fire Bird, his gaze sharp as steel needles:

"Today, Luo Cheng must die! No one can save him!"

Boom!

As his words fell, Ren Kui’s palm erupted with blistering Flame Light. Using his hand as a blade, he slashed a flaming arc toward Luo Cheng!

Fshhh!

The cloud layers were torn apart as a fierce Sword Energy, dozens of meters long, barreled straight at Luo Cheng!

"You wretch! How dare you!"

Elder Chen Xuan roared, purple light flashing like lightning on his right palm as he pushed out a counterstrike.

Bang!

The two forces collided, triggering a massive explosion.

Deafening thunderous cracks rang out continuously as the shockwaves expanded into a rapidly growing sphere of destruction, its scale terrifying!

"Let’s go!"

Elder Xue Yun urged the Sky Wind Vulture to arc through the skies, avoiding the shockwaves as it pierced through the clouds, winging south at full speed!
