Chapter 250: Golden Lotus in the Sea of Blood, Suspected Mass Disappearance of the Dragon Clan
Not far from the East China Sea, in an unknown mountain range.
This place is filled with blood and demonic energy.
A tall and majestic figure used the bloody evil energy as a guide and refined it into his body.
With just a casual punch, an endless sea of blood swept across the land.
In just a moment, the lush green trees around withered and decayed, and the birds, beasts, monsters and insects within the range turned into dry bones, with all their blood and vitality gone. The area covered by the sea of blood had completely turned into a dead silence, without any trace of life.
The Heavenly Fire Demon God trembled in the talisman of life and death.
Even though it was not the first time he had seen it, he still felt instinctively afraid of Lu Wenwu's endless sea of blood.
That is the bloody evil energy condensed from more than one billion lives!
Not to mention mortals, even low-level cultivators in the sea of blood would be turned into blood in less than a moment and completely absorbed into the sea of blood.
The Skyfire Demon God thought about the strongest demon lord of that era when he still had a body.
He was an unparalleled being who failed to transcend tribulation and had no hope of ascending to heaven, but succeeded in becoming an immortal.
Although he eventually died trying to force open the Heavenly Gate, he did suppress an era.
But compared with Bao and the fifth brother, the sins committed by this immortal who was only half a step away from ascending to heaven were so few that he was not even worthy of carrying the fifth brother's shoes!
Just as the Skyfire Demon God was distracted, the sea of blood had changed again.
In a moment of thought, evil gathers into a sea and blood condenses into momentum.
This sea of blood seemed to merge with Lu Wenwu, turning into an immortal being.
It is both a source of strength and a source of life.
This reminded Lu Wenwu of the ancestor of the Styx in the Romance of the Gods, who was said to have an immortal sea of blood and immortal himself.
He must be feeling a bit of that now.
Although he cannot achieve the level of rebirth by a drop of blood like the ancestor of the Styx, it is no problem for him to use the sea of blood to enhance his own strength.
Even the most brutal superposition is already extremely powerful.
At this moment, Lu Wenwu in this state only felt that his purity was directly raised to an incredible state, as if he could break the world with one punch, and was filled with a desire to destroy everything around him.
The next moment, he forcibly suppressed the urge to kill and destroy.
Endless energy of merit bloomed around his body, and pale golden lotuses of merit blossomed.
There is no trace of the sea of blood left, and endless golden light has transformed this place into a peaceful and tranquil paradise, just like the legendary paradise or paradise.
Putting aside the barrenness and dead trees around it, if you say that this is a Buddhist paradise and a Taoist holy land, there will definitely be people who believe it, and it will surely attract practitioners from all over the world to come here and practice in seclusion with their friends.
The power of merit, which is even greater than the power of the sea of blood, has already become so magical even though it has not been refined or manipulated by humans.
Under the influence of the aura of the Merit Lotus Sea, the last trace of negative aura of killing and violence was washed away, causing Lu Wenwu to unconsciously release a sacred golden glow.
The mental impact brought by the bloody evil energy is too great, and this special state cannot last long.
If this goes on for too long, the mind will be overwhelmed and the person may become a puppet who only knows how to kill and destroy.
If Lu Wenwu's will was not as hard as steel, he would not be able to withstand such a violent torrent and would be swept away in an instant.
And if he did not possess the immense power of merit that could suppress the bloody evil spirit and keep his soul clear, his thinking would probably be affected to some extent.
The demonic monks cultivate such power every day, and are washed away by the wide-ranging power contained in the bloody evil energy over the years. It is understandable that their temperaments become perverse, violent, insane and terrifying.
Not to mention a sea of blood.
Even the Blood River of the Blood River Demon Lord cannot be controlled by all demon cultivators.
Before this, there had been brilliant and talented demon cultivators who slaughtered millions of lives to condense a river of blood. In ancient times, there had even been top demon giants who sacrificed the blood of tens of millions of lives to condense a sea of blood in an attempt to break through the thunder tribulation and step into the realm of demon immortals.
However, apart from the Blood Refining Demon Lord back then and the Blood River Demon Lord today, no one has succeeded.
The other demon cultivators had their souls washed away by the river of blood before they could even show their power, and their spirits were shattered into pieces and they died.
Unfortunately, the terrifying sea of blood encountered Lu Wenwu, who also possessed the sea of merit!
Endless killing and endless merits coexist. This is the treatment that only the legendary Northern True Martial Emperor and the Demon-Subduing Heavenly Lord in the Heavenly Palace can enjoy. Even the Ten Kings of Hell are amazed at this existence.
Lu Wenwu clenched his fist, feeling the power of the previous punch, and a smile unconsciously appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Although the purity has not increased, after successfully practicing the Blood Refining War Fist, his strength has been greatly improved!
Next, as long as he can combine the Sea of Blood with the Military Killing Fist, his promotion to the All-Powerful God will be a sure thing!
The path that was not completely clear before has become completely clear because of the emergence of the Blood Refining War Fist.
After a few days of delay, it’s time to go to the bottom of the sea!
I heard Tianhuo say before that the Dragon Palace under the sea can only be seen by real dragons. Today I want to see what it is like!
Lu Wenwu signaled Maomao to transform into a flame pattern on his upper body, as the underwater environment was not suitable for it to perform.
Then, he jumped out with a tap of his toes.
After several thousand meters, he dived towards the sea level and experienced the feeling of diving.
Although I don’t know where the Dragon Palace is exactly, it’s definitely right to swim to the deep water first.
In the legends widely circulated in the world of immortal cultivation, as well as some unofficial histories and rumors known to the Sky Fire Demon God, there are mentions of the true dragon clan's underwater dragon palace in the East China Sea.
According to legend, the palace of the True Dragon clan is not just a palace.
It was an extremely luxurious urban complex located on a vast underwater plain, entirely made of deep-sea spiritual rock, and built by the dragon immortals of the upper realm.
In the very center of the city stands the glittering Crystal Dragon Palace, symbolizing the dragon clan's supreme dominance in the ocean and their noble status.
It is said that only the clansmen under the protection of the true dragon clan and aquatic creatures with true dragon blood and recognized by the dragon clan can live in the Dragon Palace City.
Below the Dragon Palace, eighteen of the highest quality spirit veins in the entire ocean, thirty-six high-grade spirit veins, seventy-two-six medium-grade spirit veins, and one hundred and eight low-grade spirit veins together formed a fairy formation for the True Dragon clan to practice.
Although the quality of the spiritual veins used to supply the clan in the entire Dragon Palace City is not extremely high, the quantity is much greater, and it is simply innumerable.
No matter how high the cultivation level of other monsters or cultivators is, they cannot see the Dragon Palace City at all even if they are right next to it, let alone share in the extremely rich spiritual energy below the Dragon Palace City.
This sounds very overbearing and a bit unreasonable.
That's right.
The True Dragon Clan is an extremely domineering existence.
How can I allow others to snore beside my bed?
There were still some scattered spirit veins left for other monsters in the deep sea. It was entirely because the True Dragon Clan showed special favor to them because their own formation was full and they had no use for it.
They are absolutely the ruling race and even the monopolistic race.
If they could take it all, they wouldn't leave any for other races.
Want more?
Then be prepared to become the overlord of the deep sea or be exterminated, and then start the war.
If you win, everything is yours.
If you lose, your entire clan will be executed!
Under such circumstances, the various tribes in the sea would rather pick up the leftovers of the dragon tribe, or directly become its followers, rather than offend each other.
Generation after generation of iron-headed kids have learned enough lessons with their blood and tears.
Even if your tribe really produced a peerless warrior who could defeat the entire dragon clan by himself, could you defeat the ancestor who came down from the upper realm after the dragon clan was beaten?
Even if the strength of a True Immortal is suppressed to the level of a Loose Immortal due to the rules of heaven and earth after descending to the mortal world, he is still an Immortal, and his strength far exceeds that of an ordinary Loose Immortal!
In the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation, one can defeat a group!
For so many years, humans have been able to maintain a peaceful and harmonious relationship with the true dragon clan. In addition to the fact that these dragons don't like to show up in public, it also has a lot to do with the fact that they and their ancestors are strong enough in fighting.
"Searching for the Dragon Palace in this ocean is like looking for a needle in a haystack."
Lu Wenwu was diving in the deep sea with great interest. Occasionally, he would catch a few deep-sea fish that interested him and throw them into the Lingtian Cave, asking Maomao to help clean them up and keep them for lunch later.
Just release some dragon power, and those ordinary fish will just stay there by themselves, and you can catch them all at once.
"Come to think of it, you are at least at the peak of the Spiritual Transformation Stage, halfway through ascension. Have you never seen a real dragon?"
The spiritual fluctuations of the Skyfire Demon God came from the Life and Death Talisman. "Fifth Brother, you're joking. You're the first person I've ever met. The first person to possess the pure might and blood of a dragon. I've never seen a true dragon before. I've only felt its might through illusions when I was a guest at some top-tier immortal sects."
"You old monster who has lived for more than two thousand years has never seen a dragon?" Lu Wenwu was skeptical.
"I really haven't seen it, and there's no need for me to lie to you, Fifth Brother. You'll suffer a loss, and I won't gain anything."
The spiritual fluctuations of the Sky Fire Demon God were very sincere.
"It's not just me. I'm afraid that in the past ten thousand years, I can't even count the number of creatures that have seen a true dragon."
"Ten thousand years? That's a long time?" Lu Wenwu suddenly became interested. "Tell me more about this. Is this all we saw ten thousand years ago?"
"To be honest, it's true."
The Skyfire Demon God answered with great certainty.
"Ten thousand years ago, the True Dragon Clan was barely active on the continent, never missing the Demon God Alliance meetings at the Demon Clan's ancestral home. However, their last public appearance was twelve thousand years ago."
"For nearly ten thousand years, there have been rumors across the continent and in the depths of the ocean, claiming to have seen a real dragon."
"But in reality, after some research, it was ultimately confirmed that these were merely magical instruments tainted by the dragon's might, dragons that failed to fully cross the Dragon Gate, or simply groundless, unverifiable rumors."
Lu Wenwu suddenly became interested. "According to what you said, the dragon race doesn't seem to be erratic at all. It seems that they have been staying indoors for ten thousand years, or have simply disappeared from this world?"
"I did have that guess, but..."
Speaking of this, the Sky Fire Demon God in the Life and Death Talisman smiled bitterly.
".But, this is not realistic."
"That's the True Dragon Clan that has ruled the sea since ancient times! They're guaranteed to achieve Divine Transformation by adulthood, and even if faced with the threat of genocide, they can contact their ancestors who have ascended to the upper realms."
"Even if the True Dragon Clan is really as recorded in the classics, with a small number of members, a slow rate of conceiving offspring, and a relatively low fertility rate, it is still a True Dragon Clan after all!"
"Who could have wiped them out? Could it be the immortals from the higher realms who took action?"
The Skyfire Demon God told a joke and made himself laugh.
But soon, his laughter stopped.
Because Lu Wenwu didn't laugh.
Not only did Lu Wenwu not laugh, he seriously asked a counter-question: "Look, since you don't know what happened in the Dragon Palace City, how can you be sure that the True Dragon Clan was not wiped out by the upper realm?"
His question stumped the Skyfire Demon God.
Think about it carefully.
What Lu Wenwu said does make sense.
If other creatures cannot see the Dragon Palace City, then even if the upper realm really destroys the true dragon clan, they will not know the truth.
But this doesn’t make sense?
There is no reason to take action!
Just as the Skyfire Demon God was lost in thought, Lu Wenwu continued, "Look, every member of the Dragon Clan is a genius. They're born with a Golden Core, reach Nascent Soul in their teenage years, and reach Divine Transformation in adulthood. They all live on wind and dew, and as long as they have spiritual energy, they're fine. But their clansmen can't do that, right?"
"If these followers stay in Dragon Palace City forever, not to mention the issue of food, how will they find the rare treasures that the dragons love, and the glittering treasures that need to be paid as tribute, if they don't go out? How will they be satisfied?"
"If we take a step back and say that the Dragon Clan doesn't require them to continue paying tribute and doesn't have to worry about food resources, they can just let them live in Dragon Palace City forever."
"Have you ever thought about this? The demon race is not human. After reproducing every year, the demon population increases exponentially."
"Even if Dragon Palace City was filled with space-expanding formations and filled with fasting pills, I don't believe these clansmen could survive there for a full ten thousand years. That level of resource consumption is simply too much to sustain."
"You can do the math yourself. Even if there are only one million creatures in Dragon Palace City that need fasting pills, based on the reproduction rate of marine creatures, where at least one litter grows into ten, how much will the population increase in a hundred years, and how many fasting pills will be consumed?"
"As members of the same dragon clan, we shouldn't eat each other's children, right?"
After Lu Wenwu's words, the Skyfire Demon God fell into deep silence.
There is no need to calculate to a hundred years.
Ten years from now, that large number will have exploded.
Without a normal biological cycle, those clans must come out to find the corresponding resources.
Can.
The Skyfire Demon God carefully recalled what he had seen and heard in the past, and it seemed that he had never encountered any dragon clan members during his travels around the world.
Could it be
Have the True Dragon Clan and their families really been secretly wiped out by the immortals?
Thinking of this, the Skyfire Demon God couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat - although he had long since stopped sweating.
