Cultivation: When you take things to the extreme

Chapter 376: Chapter 248: Finally_1

What was he waiting for?

The Blood Demon did not know.

It was precisely because he did not know that he felt so anxious, so discomposed.

The person before him remained motionless, apparently contemplating the Blood Sea Great Array, but the Blood Demon did not believe this was his method for handling the situation, the means to break the deadlock.

All the current conditions clearly stated the facts, such contemplation was meaningless. Even if he could eventually break through the array, the momentum of the blood sea and the might of the Demon Path could no longer be stopped.

To break the deadlock, one could only utilize stronger methods—escape the array before it was irretrievably too late.

But he did not, he did not move!

Why?

There could only be two possibilities.

Either he did not have the so-called ultimate method and, faced with the Blood Sea Great Array, had no other choice but to contemplate and study it, to leave his fate to heaven after doing all he could.

Or, he had something to rely on, some confidence, and was merely waiting for the right moment to unleash it.

The former or the latter?

It must be the latter!

The Blood Demon refused to believe that such an opponent would resign himself to fate and passively await death.

He must have something to rely on!

What was it?

What was it!

The Blood Demon did not know.

And therefore, he was anxious.

An intuitive premonition, a whim, filled him with anxiety and unease.

Even though such intuition might feel like self-intimidation, a paranoid delusion, the Blood Demon still believed it.

With cultivation at his level, even without practicing the Skill of Heavenly Mechanism, in times of danger one would still have whims, a sense of impending doom.

This was the symbiotic response brought about by one’s status, which is why sages were so perceptive, able to discern the changes of fate, and could even foresee the past and future.

The Blood Demon was no sage, but he still trusted his intuition; it surely wasn’t without reason.

So… what exactly was it?

Still unknown!

But, known or unknown, he could not just resign himself to fate, wait passively for the opponent to enact their final measure.

Are you waiting for the right moment?

Are you delaying time?

Then I will take the initiative!

But the Blood Sea Great Array must remain unchanged; he cannot be given the chance to break out of the array.

If the array must stay unchanged, then taking the initiative must take place outside the array.

…

Canglan Sea, Black Tortoise State.

This city of cultivators, which had only become prosperous in the past century, had now turned into a slaughter battlefield, a blood-drenched Demon Realm.

Kill, kill, kill!

Countless cultivators were embroiled in chaotic battle.

Some assaulted shops, committing acts of grand plunder.

Others turned into demons, massacring the populace.

Cultivators, mortals, sect disciples, members of various factions, as well as individual Loose Cultivators.

Chaos, chaos, chaos, a mess of disarray, shouts of killing shaking the heavens, blood flowing into rivers.

In such chaotic warfare, it didn’t take long to reach extremes, where cultivators would degenerate, and Demon Fetuses would ripen.

Soon, the marketplace was soaked in fresh blood, the waters of Canglan Sea turned crimson.

No more fights, no more chaos, just streaks of blood light flying out from the silence, entering the increasingly dense blood clouds, their destinations unknown.

…

Haoran Sect, Righteous Qi Peak!

Once the top Sect known for Corpse Resolution, now it has become a grounds for slaughter.

In such dire straits, where rebellion and chaos sprouted, blood lotuses bloomed, spreading everywhere in Haoran Sect’s gateway.

At the peak of Righteous Qi Peak, where it touched the sky, yet another dimensional tear was seen, slowly disappearing under the tremendous force of heaven and earth.

As the tear vanished, space sealed up, numerous streaks of blood light flew out, even more formidable than before, plunging into the blood clouds, heading towards the distance.

…

Profound Heaven Sect’s Gateway, an ancient relic.

Spirit Mountains towered like pillars, while white jade supported the heavens.

And there was a grand array, where the Immortal Spirit’s Wonderful Skill was in motion.

However…

“Boom! Boom! Boom!”

Streaks of blood light broke across the sky, hurtling straight into the array, completely disregarding the damage.

“Hum!”

As the blood light entered, the array activated. Within the Mysterious Heavenly Main Peak and at the heart of the white jade Mountain Core, a tower was triggered, coming into view.

The tower had nine levels, pure white like jade, with chains rattling, linked with the power of the array, and with one human form.

One human Corpse Body!

As the streaks of blood light crashed in, the array responded with countermeasures, and the celestial corpse opened its eyes.

It then stood up, walking out, with a wave of its finger, a stream of Immortal Light was unleashed, aiming to eradicate the Blood Demon Head.

However…

“Bang! Bang! Bang!”

Before the Mysterious Heaven Immortal Light could descend, the bloody demonic flows exploded on their own.

As the demonic flows burst apart, blood light scattered, seeping into the array, infiltrating the Immortal Spirit’s Wonderful Skill.

“Gurgle!”

As the blood light infiltrated, it took mere moments before strange gurgling sounds started coming from the array.

In the heart of the grand array, at the core, the nine-level Lock Demon Tower suddenly trembled, with large cracks appearing on its white jade structure, the chains clattered, unable to contain the Demonic Qi that surged out, seeping outside the tower.

“!!!”

The figure in white, ethereal and faintly visible, suddenly shuddered, black demonic flow and crimson blood mingling in the lifeless pupils, filling the consciousness, seizing control of the body.

Eventually, white turned to blood, the celestial form tainted by demons.

“Roar!!”

The blood-clothed Demon Corpse let out a savage howl and the surrounding chains snapped in response.

“Clatter!”

The chains broke, the tower shook, and the unbound Demon Corpse turned into a bloody rainbow, rushing out towards the heavens.

…

After the Blood Demon Catastrophe began, one month later.

White Dragon Ridge, the Blood Sea Array, Black Tortoise guards the north, steadfast and immovable.

Suddenly, a sword light soared through, its Haoqi still present but no longer possessing its former momentum.

“Hmm!?”

Within the True Spirit Array, Chen Xuan opened his eyes, looking at the incoming sword light, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.

As the sword light descended, it materialized a figure—it was the Supreme Haoqi, Meng Fuyao, who had undergone Divinity Transformation and Corpse Resolution.

His hair was disheveled, his brows carrying the look of exhaustion, indicating he had been through something remarkable.

Chen Xuan was puzzled, but did not disengage the array. Instead, he conjured a mana projection that greeted Meng Fuyao beyond the array, “Senior Meng, why do you appear in such a state?”

“Disaster!”

Meng Fuyao heaved a deep sigh, regret appearing in his eyes, “The Blood Demon’s vile schemes have led to our Ascension’s failure. Apart from me, everyone else has met with calamity. The Haoran Sect, the Vajra Sect, the Longhua Temple, the Great Brahma Temple have all become grounds of death. The momentum of the blood sea, the power of the Demon Path, there is no one who can stop it now!”
