After failing her nirvana, the Phoenix Empress opened her eyes to find herself reborn into a mortal girl in a world of declining magic. This girl was also the true daughter of a wealthy family, los...
Chapter 427: Black Blood Reappears
Huo Qinghuang nodded slightly, a trace of solemnity flashed in her phoenix eyes, and she said in a deep voice: "Many demons from ancient times are sealed in Ailao Mountain. Now that the smell of decay is so strong, I'm afraid the seal has become more seriously loosened. The situation is not optimistic."
Tushan Yuhua stretched out nine tails behind her, her fox eyes flickered, and she said slowly, "Indeed, the energy around here is in chaos, and it seems that there are many powerful forces surging in the dark, and I can feel that something is watching us in the dark."
As soon as he finished speaking, the shadows of the surrounding trees suddenly twisted and deformed, and countless translucent ghosts crawled out from the ground, emitting sharp wails.
Ao Jiu's eyes darkened, and a light golden aura of a true dragon emanated from his body, which shook away all the approaching vengeful spirits.
"Playing tricks!"
The Kuiniu stomped its hoof hard, and a flash of lightning spread out in a circle. All the evil spirits within a hundred feet radius were instantly reduced to ashes.
Huo Qinghuang stood there motionless.
What was surprising was that the vengeful spirits actually walked around her, trembling as if they had encountered a natural enemy.
"interesting."
Tushan Yuhua narrowed her fox eyes: "These vengeful spirits seem to recognize Fellow Daoist Huo..."
Huo Qinghuang licked her lips unconsciously.
It's a pity that these guys acted too quickly, otherwise she could have had a delicious meal.
"We have just entered the Ailao Mountains and such changes have occurred. It seems that the situation inside is indeed not optimistic. We must move forward quickly."
Out of sight, out of mind, she simply changed the subject and planned to go straight into the depths of Ailao Mountain.
But at this moment, the ground suddenly began to shake violently, as if some huge monster was awakening deep underground.
Soon after, cracks began to spread from the ground, and black smoke rose from the cracks with a pungent smell.
"careful!"
Huo Qinghuang shouted loudly, and at the same time his body flew into the air, quickly distanced himself from the crack.
Ao Jiu and others also responded and were ready for battle.
A huge arm stretched out from the crack, covered with black scales that emitted a strange light.
Immediately afterwards, a huge body slowly rose from the ground.
The monster was ten feet tall, covered in pitch-black scales, with three pairs of curved horns on its head, and blood-red eyes like two blood moons.
Every time it breathes, black mist gushes out of its nostrils.
"What is this?"
Tushan Yuhua frowned, secretly alert.
Kuiniu's eyes widened, lightning flashed on his body, and he snorted, "No matter what it is, I'll kill it first!"
As he spoke, he stomped his one hoof and rushed towards the monster like lightning. At the same time, a thick bolt of lightning spurted out of his mouth, striking the monster's head directly.
The monster seemed to be enraged. It let out a deafening roar, waved its huge arms, and slapped the Kuiniu.
His arm created a strong wind, and the surrounding trees were uprooted one after another.
Seeing this, Kuiniu quickly dodged to the side and avoided the attack.
At the same time, the monster was also hit by the lightning, but it was blocked by the scales on its body, leaving only a white mark.
"Demon from outside the realm!"
Huo Qinghuang's pupils suddenly shrank and she began to grind her teeth.
If she had not been harmed by the extraterritorial demon in the void battlefield, how could she have been stained with black blood, unable to even achieve nirvana, and ended up having to reincarnate and cultivate again.
What’s even more annoying is that this black blood is extremely difficult to deal with. Apart from a few substances that can restrain it, any other means are useless.
Now he once again encountered an extraterritorial demon blocking his way. For Huo Qinghuang, it was like adding new hatred to old grudges, and he was filled with anger.
"Extraterritorial demon? How could this thing appear here?"
Ao Jiu was also startled. He quickly grasped the Fang Tian Huaji in his hand, and the aura around him suddenly rose.
Huo Qinghuang stared at the extraterritorial demon with cold eyes, and said word by word: "Back then, the Void Battlefield was extremely chaotic, and countless extraterritorial demons took the opportunity to invade. Although most of them have been wiped out, there are still some that slipped through the net.
I didn't expect to meet it in Ailao Mountain today. It must have sensed that the seal was loosened, and wanted to take the opportunity to release the big monster inside to disrupt the world.
That's why they stopped us from going to reinforce the seal!"
"I see."
The nine fox tails behind Tushan Yuhua trembled slightly, and a trace of solemnity flashed in her eyes. She said, "This extraterritorial demon is powerful and has strange methods. We must not underestimate the enemy."
At this moment, the extraterritorial demon roared again and launched an attack.
Its figure flashed, and its huge body instantly appeared behind Kuiniu, and its huge palm slapped towards Kuiniu's back.
Kuiniu reacted extremely quickly, kicked the ground with its one hoof, and leaped forward, avoiding the fatal blow.
But there were still several deep claw marks left behind it, and lightning flashed at the wounds.
Ao Jiu held the Fang Tian Huaji in his hand, shouted loudly, and turned into a golden stream of light and rushed towards the extraterritorial demon.
Dragon flames coiled around the Fang Tian Huaji, and it stabbed towards the chest of the extraterritorial demon with a fierce momentum.
A trace of disdain flashed in the eyes of the extraterritorial demon. He raised his arm, and used his hard scales to block Ao Jiu's attack.
Ao Jiu only felt a huge force coming, and the Fang Tian Huaji in his hand was almost shaken away.
"Don't hide anything. This demon from outside the domain is quite powerful. Be careful of a sudden disaster."
He quickly adjusted his strategy, revealed his true form as a golden dragon, and prepared to launch a powerful attack.
It’s a pity that he was reborn not long ago, and this body is still immature, making it difficult for him to exert his true strength.
But even so, the strength he displayed was only stronger than Tushan Yuhua.
A cold light suddenly appeared in Huo Qinghuang's eyes, and the Mountain-Sinking Axe in his hand made an earth-shattering sound.
She flashed and instantly appeared above the head of the outer demon, slashing down with the axe: "If I don't kill you today, I won't be able to vent my hatred!"
When Huo Qinghuang swung his axe, the sky and the earth changed color.
Rich blood-red runes bloomed on the Mountain-Trapping Axe, and tiny cracks appeared in space wherever the axe blade passed.
"roar!"
The extraterritorial demon roared and raised his arms to block, and the black scales collided with the axe blade, producing dazzling sparks.
What was shocking was that the indestructible black scales were actually split open with a deep crack, and black blood gushed out.
"Don't touch the black blood!"
Huo Qinghuang's eyes narrowed and he raised his voice to remind her.
It was after she killed an emperor-level extraterritorial demon that she accidentally got her hands dirty with its black blood that she ended up in this situation today.
Tushan Yuhua was shocked and her eyes unconsciously looked towards Heixue.
It was this thing that killed the ancestor of his fox clan and caused their Qingqiu clan to lose the qualification to be promoted to the imperial clan.
Now that she has seen the black blood with her own eyes, it is impossible for Tushan Yuhua to not feel hatred.
"Is there no way to resist the black blood?"
He asked through gritted teeth.
"Black blood is the source of all the weirdness in the heavens. If you want to resist it, you either have to use your virtue to eliminate it, or you have to possess a Chaos Divine Body so that you are not afraid of the contamination of black blood."
Huo Qinghuang explained quickly, and then looked at the three monsters: "Any of you who have a magic weapon of merit can also give it a try."
