Chapter 258 The Army of Poisonous Beasts and the Death of Taki Yuran
In such a tumultuous period of change, who cares where Wang Yu is?
My only thought was to save my life!
Among the tens of thousands of cultivators, only a dozen or so had reached the Core Formation stage, and they were divided into many factions. This was just one of the four Nascent Soul Medicine Kings, plus hundreds or thousands of third-tier blood corpse giants.
The analogy of an egg hitting a rock is inaccurate; it's more like tofu hitting alloy—it crumbles at the slightest touch.
Wang Yu finally got his wish.
Hide in mid-air and try to stay as far away as possible.
Although the cultivators fled, the disparity in the number of strong individuals was too great, and the vast majority of them were surrounded. Only the Core Formation cultivators had the ability to break through.
In the blood mist environment, divine sense was severely obstructed.
The direction is hard to discern.
The Tianhun Sect ruins replaced the original Yin Gui Mountain site, a transformation that could be described as a complete change of the world, the former gate of an ancient overlord.
The area was so vast, and there were broken formations and restrictions everywhere. If a cultivator flew too high, he would be targeted by the Blood Corpse Giants, and if he flew too low, he would be attacked by the Blood Mist Beasts and Blood Corpses.
It could even trigger remnants of formations and restrictions.
As soon as the two sides made contact, the cultivators suffered heavy casualties, and the manner of death was that their blood was drained, and the mummified corpses stood up unsteadily, becoming blood corpses, and the number of them increased with each battle.
Everywhere there were screams of agony, and the power of the Blood Demon was even more formidable, surpassing even the power of a Core Formation cultivator, capable of eroding almost any defense formed by magic or supernatural power.
Wang Yu then saw a Saint Sect Core Formation cultivator commanding swarms of Gu worms to devour a Blood Corpse Giant, only to be corroded by the blood with its aggregation properties.
The swarm of insects, refined over many years, transformed into blood demon servants, and devoured their old master completely, leaving not even a bone fragment behind.
The war potential it has demonstrated is astonishing.
Ordinary blood corpses that are easy to kill will gather demonic blood and quickly form a new blood corpse giant once the number of deaths reaches thousands.
Even when cannon fodder dies, it can still generate Tier 3 combat power.
Is this reasonable?!
"Ahhh—"
Severed limbs, heads, and blood and flesh splattered everywhere.
At this moment, the ruins of the Heavenly Soul Sect resembled a slaughterhouse. All living beings and spirits had little power to resist except for wailing. This was only a portion of the remaining power of the ancient demon known as [Blood].
It is evident that the legends of the ancient demons being far more powerful than Nascent Soul cultivators are not unfounded.
Wang Yu really wanted to use the Ghost Cry Flute to absorb some of the life force. The number of living souls generated here in a short period of time was so great that it could definitely make the Ghost Cry Flute's Yin Crow Ghost Realm complete instantly.
pity.
For the past few years, and even for the next three or four decades, Mr. Wang has had a post-traumatic stress disorder regarding the phrase "fortune favors the bold."
The Void Escape Talisman had been activated, and Wang Yu once again transformed into silver light and disappeared into the spatial rift.
Unexpectedly, the teleportation talisman did not teleport him thousands of miles away, but instead made him appear near the original secret realm gate, at the edge of the blood mist!
"It only traveled a few hundred miles..."
"Well, it's lucky that we were able to escape the center of the battlefield."
He suspected that it was caused by the Heavenly Demon Sunflower, since there had been no problems the previous times it was used.
With the strength of a late-stage fourth-tier demon sunflower, it would be difficult for him to detect if the demon sunflower had tampered with this area.
"Buzz buzz buzz—"
"Um?"
The sudden noise made Wang Yu, who had just stood up, immediately shrink back down, as black clouds formed by venomous insects were pressing down from beyond the blood mist.
Wang Yu's face immediately turned quite ugly; one problem had barely subsided before another arose.
According to the records of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect, the Heavenly Demon Bone Forest was the territory of a Nascent Soul Poisonous Beast, even if it had reached some agreement with the demonic forces.
The Heavenly Soul Sect ruins, which suddenly burst through space and descended into the mortal world, still possessed great appeal, enough to make it temporarily abandon the agreement.
The Nascent Soul Poisonous Beast wouldn't let go of this super spiritual vein underground, since it can stably provide pure spiritual energy, which is crucial for the already difficult cultivation speed of a Nascent Soul Venerable.
This is already an excellent harvest, not to mention the super spirit mines that are also present, and the number of top-grade spirit stones will not be small.
Various venomous beasts, both familiar and unfamiliar, charged towards the blood mist, like a dark, surging tide.
Wang Yu had no other option but to hide.
This time, the trouble seems to have gotten a bit too big.
The Poisonous Beasts are the rulers of the Heavenly Demon Bone Forest, and there is no shortage of fourth-tier beings here. The environment here is also extremely suitable for them to breed and thrive. They arrive the fastest and are the most numerous.
It definitely exceeds ten million, or even more.
The various toxins left behind in its path made Wang Yu's face turn green. This mixed poison was the most terrifying. He hid underground and quickly took out the Immaculate Jade Toad.
Place it on your chest and let it absorb all toxins that come near you.
The army of venomous beasts charged into the blood mist.
Wang Yu waited for almost an hour before the entire army of venomous beasts entered the blood mist. The battle scenes were even more intense, and the ruins that were already in ruins were now razed to the ground.
Blood flowed like a river, and venom formed pools.
Blood giants tore apart hundred-meter-long spiders with their bare hands, and crimson mosquito beasts drained a river of blood. They were not yet controlled by the power of the Blood Demon, but instead fought with the Blood Demon Ginseng.
The earth shook violently, and deep fissures like canyons appeared everywhere, clearly indicating that it was a fourth-tier venomous beast.
A toad appeared, swallowing the moon, and a breath of cold air froze a ten-thousand-foot-deep river of blood. Blood Mist Beasts and Blood Corpse Giants could not escape its fate, and then it clashed with the Blood Demon Shouwu.
When Wang Yu crawled out of the ground, what he saw was this apocalyptic scene: the earth was sinking, the mountains were collapsing, and everything in sight was being destroyed.
"Is this the power of a Nascent Soul cultivator...? That's truly astonishing."
Wang Yu continued flying out of the blood mist, and within a few breaths he was completely free.
Looking back, his expression instantly became complicated.
He saw Taki Yiran's... corpse!
Her left leg was petrified, and the right half of her body was mangled like minced meat. Her wide-open left eye was filled with longing and reluctance to live, as toxins eroded her corpse.
This causes poison cells to continuously grow, then burst open, spraying out pus and poisonous smoke... which mixes into the air, forming a purplish-black poisonous mist that rivals the blood mist.
This trustworthy man, whose life had just begun to take off, tragically met his end here, the reason for which can be summed up in the word "ability".
It's such a pity.
Perhaps it was because of the Styx Pact that the two developed this trust, but over the years they spent together, Wang Yu truly felt a connection to their souls.
Friendship... is so close to him, yet so far away.
Trust, such a precious thing, can be betrayed, and the death of the person you trust can also have a profound emotional impact.
The impact is no less than when Changxi calculated the situation back then.
This also gave him a deeper understanding of the spiritual realm of Taihu Lake. Once he sorts out his feelings and insights, he will take another step forward on the path of the mind.
“Taki Yiran—”
"I'll remember you."
That one glance was enough for Wang Yu to remember for the rest of his life.
…………
…………
At the edge of the blood mist, on the opposite side from Wang Yu, Liu Jinxian and Bi She Zhenren met atop a high mountain, gazing into the distance at the battle between the poisonous beasts and the blood demon servants.
He could not hide his shock.
"There are so many fourth-tier beings."
Master Bishe looked at his daughter, reached out and touched her head, and sighed, "Gu Poison Peak suffered considerable losses this time. I never expected something like this to happen."
Liu Jinxian's eyes darted around, and she said.
"Father, the Tenth Elder is dead. Do you have a chance to succeed him...?"
The Nine Peaks system of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect allows anyone who breaks through to the Core Formation stage to become an elder. There are two types: outer sect elders and inner sect elders, with the latter holding a higher status, similar to true disciples.
In addition to the distinction of positions, each peak's inner sect also has the title of Twelve Elders, who are generally held by cultivators at the peak of the Core Formation stage. They are the highest authority below the Nascent Soul stage in each peak.
The composition of this council of elders is quite complex, with strength being both a hard requirement and the simplest factor.
Other aspects of evaluation mainly come from two areas: background and potential, with background being of paramount importance.
If one has some potential to reach the Nascent Soul stage, and cultivates connections, one can also become one of the Twelve Elders, who oversee all the mundane affairs and business matters of each peak.
Furthermore, they also control a real treasure trove of money, and spirit slaves at the Foundation Establishment and Core Formation stages!
Composed of righteous war criminals, rebellious forces, or forces hostile to the Holy Sect, it was much larger in scale than the small-scale skirmishes in the Stone House District.
What Liu Jinxian said was nothing short of wishful thinking.
Master Bishe pondered, "Almost all of our fellow disciples who came this time are dead. If we seize this opportunity, perhaps Father can gain the favor of the Poison Mountain Master."
If Liu Jinxian could truly scheme to obtain the position of the twelfth elder of Gudu Peak, her status as a second-generation descendant would also be elevated. This is the kind of wish a father could become a dragon!
"Without further ado, your Uncle Wu's message says that two overlords appeared in the [Heavenly Demon Bone Forest] during the ancient times."
"After the destruction of the ancient [Ten Thousand Insects Sect], this Heavenly Demon Bone Forest was formed. Later, the ancient Heavenly Soul Sect also established itself here, but was later slaughtered due to the Blood Demon Rebellion."
"Judging from the current situation, it is more likely to be the ruins of the Heavenly Soul Sect. The Blood Demon Palace will definitely be interested in these Blood Demon Medicine Kings."
"Xian'er, go and contact Lu Chenzhou to do a favor for the Blood Demon Palace. I will contact the Gu Poison Mountain Lord and Senior Insect Demon."
"good."
As the two survivors of the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect, they were unwilling to stay here, as it was far too dangerous.
However, Master Bi She still left a few snake gu to monitor the situation here at all times, and the father and daughter's joint operation progressed quite quickly.
The events that occurred in the Heavenly Demon Bone Forest will not spread in a day or two.
However, it is absolutely impossible to hide the fact that news of conflicts between poisonous beasts and blood corpses among people who frequently operate in Wandu Town will take at least half a month to arrive.
This gap is the advantageous time for the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect and the Yellow Spring Temple to act. Once it passes and the outcome is still uncertain, the result will be hard to predict.
They are taking action.
There were also some alert people at Huangquan Temple who managed to escape with their lives. The mere existence of the Ten-Thousand-Year Medicine King was enough to make them fight with all their might.
Even if they are not in good condition, they will still try their best to compete.
Information about Wang Yu, the masked man, was also sent to the higher-ups of the Yellow Springs Temple. When Ghost Curse Demon Lord learned of it, he was completely bewildered, not knowing when he had sent his disciples to investigate.
Could it be that it was controlled by his evil spirits from the underworld?
The identity of the mysterious person remains a mystery, but there is no doubt that he is a member of the Yellow Springs Temple.
The most urgent task is still to compete with the Reverse Spirit Blood Sect for the Medicine King title!
The two sides are at odds.
Following Zhuyue Prefecture, the Heavenly Demon Bone Forest in northern Yunling has once again become the target of everyone's attacks, and an even larger-scale conflict at the Nascent Soul level is brewing.
