Chapter 1351
The Death of the Blood Demon Lord
The crimson giant claw tore through the air, carrying the might of a monstrous sea of blood, and instantly reached Ye Yang's head.
Wherever the claw shadow passed, the void was stained crimson, and the star power within the mine was dispersed by this evil bloodlust.
However, just as the blood claws were about to touch Ye Yang...
"Clang!"
A clear and melodious sword cry suddenly rang out.
Ye Yang, who had been sitting cross-legged and was exhausted, suddenly opened his eyes. His eyes shone brightly with silver light, and he instantly activated the Immortal Stabilization Technique to its limit!
His figure vanished from the spot like a phantom, and the next moment he appeared ten feet away.
Where he had originally stood, the boulder had been smashed to dust by the Blood Claw, with fragments flying everywhere.
"what?!"
Blood Demon Lord's pupils contracted sharply, and alarm bells rang in his mind.
Before he could react, a dazzling cyan sword light had already struck.
That's the Dragon Abyss Sword!
Countless dragon scale patterns shimmered on the sword's blade, each pattern containing terrifying sword intent.
Ye Yang unleashed a sword strike, its energy multiplying into countless forms, like a cascading silver river, engulfing the Blood Demon Lord's vital points.
"Damn it! We've fallen for their trap!"
The Blood Demon Lord roared, and the sea of blood around him surged, condensing into a thick, blood-red barrier.
"Boom boom boom!"
The sword energy collided with the blood shield, unleashing a deafening roar.
The entire mine was shaking violently, and countless pieces of rock fell from the top.
The Blood Demon Lord's blood shield was slashed with countless cracks, and he was forced to retreat dozens of feet, a trace of blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.
"You dare to scam me!"
Blood Demon Lord's eyes surged with killing intent, but even more so with shock.
It hasn't been long since they last faced off.
Why has this person's strength improved so much!
The power of that sword strike was far greater than when we met on the Star Ruins Ancient Road.
So what if I'm bluffing you?
Ye Yang sneered, the Dragon Abyss Sword spinning in his hand, its tip pointing directly at the Blood Demon Lord.
"Blood Demon Lord, today is your death day!"
Before he finished speaking, Ye Yang flipped his left hand, and the Evil King Blade appeared in his palm.
The blade was as black as ink, with strange dark red patterns wrapped around it, exuding a bloodthirsty and violent aura.
Sword and saber, one blue and one black, gleamed together in Ye Yang's hands.
With the Immortal Stabilization Technique in operation, his eyes seemed to be able to see through all illusions.
Every hidden move and every flaw concealed within the sea of blood surrounding the Blood Demon Lord was exposed.
"The sword opens the gates of heaven!"
Ye Yang moved like lightning, unleashing a magnificent sword aura from the Dragon Abyss Sword, aiming straight for the Blood Demon Lord's throat.
At the same time, the Evil King Blade transformed into a strange arc of light in his left hand, striking towards the Blood Demon Lord's waist from the flank.
One in the light, one in the dark; one righteous, one evil; they complement each other perfectly.
Blood Demon Lord's expression changed drastically. He never expected that Ye Yang could simultaneously wield two natal magic weapons of different attributes, and that their power was not diminished at all.
"Boundless sea of blood!"
The Blood Demon Lord bit his tongue and spat out a mouthful of blood essence.
The essence blood merged into the blood sea around his body, and the blood sea instantly expanded several times, transforming into a real blood-red ocean that enveloped his entire body.
"Boom!"
Sword energy and blade light simultaneously slashed across the sea of blood.
The sea of blood surged violently, and two deep ravines were cleaved in its wake, but it ultimately failed to harm the Blood Demon Lord.
"Such strong defense!"
Ye Yang's eyes narrowed, and he was secretly alarmed.
As expected of an old demon who had been through the late stages of the tribulation, even with the full force of my ambushes enhanced by the Immortal Fixation Technique, he only suffered minor injuries.
"You little beast! Do you really think I'm someone to be trifled with?"
Amidst the sea of blood, the Blood Demon Lord's furious roar echoed.
The next moment, the sea of blood surged and transformed into countless crimson tentacles, each tens of feet long, coiling towards Ye Yang like a raging python.
These tentacles moved incredibly fast and were filled with corrosive, bloodthirsty energy, corroding the void and creating black holes.
Ye Yang's figure flickered, weaving and dodging among the tentacles.
The Dragon Abyss Sword severed several tentacles, while the Evil King Blade seized the opportunity to slash at the Blood Sea's main body.
However, the severed tentacles turned into blood mist, which instantly reformed, as if they were inexhaustible.
"The Immortal-Stabilizing Technique, Dispelling Illusion!"
Ye Yang's eyes shone brightly with silver light as he pushed the Immortal Stabilization Technique to its limit.
In his eyes, the trajectory of the blood-red tentacles became crystal clear, and the flaws in every attack were clearly visible.
His figure moved like a ghost among the tentacles, and the Dragon Abyss Sword and the Evil King Blade were wielded in a storm of swords and blades.
Every sword strike and every slash landed precisely on the nodes of the blood sea tentacles.
"Puff puff!"
Dozens of tentacles broke off simultaneously, and this time they could not re-coalesce, turning into a blood mist and dissipating.
"what?!"
The Blood Demon Lord in the sea of blood let out a roar filled with shock and rage.
Ye Yang actually saw through his Blood Sea Secret Technique!
"The Blood Demon's True Form!"
Knowing he could no longer hold back, the Blood Demon Lord's sea of blood around him contracted wildly, eventually coalescing into a blood-red demonic body ten feet tall.
The demon has three heads and six arms, each holding a blood-red magical artifact, radiating a terrifying demonic aura.
"You little beast, let me show you my true power!"
The Blood Demon roared and charged toward Ye Yang, its six arms moving in unison and its six magical treasures attacking simultaneously.
There are blood-red spears, blood-red scimitars, blood-red chains, blood-red skulls, blood-red banners, and blood-red seals.
The six magical treasures sealed off all of Ye Yang's escape routes, each containing the terrifying power of a late-stage lightning tribulation cultivator.
"Good timing!"
Instead of retreating, Ye Yang advanced, the Dragon Abyss Sword and the Evil King Blade transforming into two streaks of light in his hands.
"Swords transform into countless forms!"
"Slay illusions with your blade!"
Sword energy and blade light intertwined, forming a sword and blade domain around Ye Yang that combined offense and defense.
"Clang clang clang!"
The sound of metal clashing was incessant.
Ye Yang fought against six opponents single-handedly and held his own in no way.
The Dragon Abyss Sword severed the crimson spear, the Evil King Blade cleaved the crimson scimitar, sword energy shattered the crimson chains, and blade light sent the crimson skull flying...
The two fought fiercely in the mine, each collision triggering terrifying energy fluctuations.
The rock walls of the mine were shattered, cracks appeared, and the earth trembled. "How is this possible! How could your strength have improved so quickly?!"
The Blood Demon Lord grew increasingly alarmed as the battle progressed.
During their last encounter, although Ye Yang was quite strong, he was still only at the mid-stage of the Thunder Tribulation Realm and was far from being his match.
In just over a month, this kid was already able to stand up to him, an old demon in the late stage of the tribulation stage!
Ye Yang was also secretly surprised.
Although he had the power to stabilize immortality and possessed two deadly weapons, the Dragon Abyss Sword and the Evil King Blade, he also seized the initiative to launch a sneak attack.
But the Blood Demon Lord was, after all, an old demon who had cultivated his Blood Demon Secret Techniques for thousands of years, and his foundation was terrifyingly deep.
The battle lasted for the time it takes to brew a cup of tea. Although Ye Yang had the upper hand, he was unable to inflict fatal damage on the Blood Demon Lord.
"We can't delay any longer."
A resolute glint flashed in Ye Yang's eyes.
The Star Ruins Ancient Road is fraught with danger, and the energy fluctuations here may have already attracted the attention of other powerful individuals.
We must finish this quickly!
Just then, the Xuanwu Sacred Beast, which had been lurking in the mine's walls, finally found the perfect opportunity.
"Fellow Daoist, now is the time!"
A wave of divine thought from the Xuanwu Sacred Beast emanated.
The next moment, countless mysterious runes suddenly lit up on the inner wall of the mine.
The runes connected, forming a massive array that enveloped the entire mine.
"Black Tortoise Heaven-Suppressing Formation!"
The Xuanwu Sacred Beast revealed its true form, its enormous body hovering in the air, with starlight flowing on its tortoise shell, radiating a vast and oppressive aura that suppressed all heavens.
"What?! There's an ambush?!"
The Blood Demon Lord was greatly alarmed.
He never expected that there was a powerful expert here who was no less than him!
Moreover, judging from its aura, it was actually the legendary Xuanwu sacred beast that had long been extinct!
"Oops!"
A sense of foreboding flashed through the Blood Demon Lord's mind, and he wanted to escape.
However, the Xuanwu Suppressing Heaven Formation had already been activated, and an invisible suppressing force surged from all directions, firmly imprisoning his figure.
"Fellow Daoist, let's join forces and kill him!"
Seizing the opportunity, Ye Yang merged the Dragon Abyss Sword and the Evil King Blade into one, transforming into a terrifying sword and blade light interwoven with cyan and black.
"May Heaven and Earth punish them all!"
This strike concentrated all of Ye Yang's Dao power, further enhanced by the Immortal-Stabilizing Technique. Its power was enough to kill a cultivator in the late stage of the Thunder Tribulation!
At the same time, the Xuanwu Sacred Beast opened its mouth and spewed out a beam of mysterious light.
The mysterious light contained the power of the primordial stars and the essence of the newly refined Primordial Star Marrow, making it extremely powerful.
"No!"
The Blood Demon Lord let out a desperate roar.
He burned his life essence, causing his Blood Demon form to expand wildly as he made a final struggle.
But all is in vain.
"Boom!"
The light of swords and the mysterious light struck the Blood Demon's true form simultaneously.
The Blood Demon's true form instantly collapsed, turning into a sky full of blood mist.
The Blood Demon Lord's screams echoed through the mine before abruptly ceasing.
A giant of the demonic path has fallen!
When the blood mist dissipated, only a withered corpse and a few broken blood-red magical artifacts remained on the ground.
Ye Yang sheathed the Dragon Abyss Sword and the Evil King Blade, panting heavily.
That attack just now almost drained all the Dao power from his body.
"Fellow Daoist, you've worked hard."
The Xuanwu Sacred Beast retracted its formation, shrinking to about a foot in size, and landed on Ye Yang's shoulder.
"Thanks to your help, fellow Daoist, otherwise killing him would have been really difficult."
Ye Yang shook his head and smiled bitterly.
He walked to the Blood Demon Lord's corpse and took out a storage bag from it.
As I probed with my divine sense, my eyes lit up.
Inside the storage bag, besides mountains of spirit stones and pills, there were also several ancient manuals.
One of them was a blood-red jade slip with four large characters written on it: "Blood Sea Demon Codex".
This is precisely the Blood Demon Lord's fundamental technique!
In addition, there are several other demonic secret techniques such as "Blood God Clone Technique", "Blood Escape Thousand Miles", and "Blood Demon Body Refining Technique".
Although it is a demonic art, the methods for using bloodthirsty power contained within it have extremely high reference value.
To Ye Yang's even greater surprise, there was a fist-sized dark red crystal in the storage bag.
The crystal contained extremely pure blood essence. Although it was evil, it was a rare treasure if it could be refined and transformed.
"There are quite a few good things."
Ye Yang nodded in satisfaction and put the storage bag away.
Then, he looked at the several broken, blood-red magical artifacts on the ground, as well as the corpse of the Blood Demon Lord.
"Evil King Blade, it's time for you to replenish your strength."
Ye Yang raised his hand and waved it, sending the Evil King Blade flying out.
The dark red patterns on the blade flashed wildly, emitting an excited tremor.
The next moment, the Evil King Blade transformed into a streak of black light, devouring the Blood Demon Lord's corpse and all those blood-red magical treasures.
"Buzz!"
After absorbing everything, the Evil King Blade let out a joyful cry.
The dark red patterns on the blade became even more vibrant, as if they came alive and moved across the blade.
An even more powerful and bloodthirsty aura emanated from the blade.
The Evil King Blade has grown stronger once again!
Ye Yang could clearly feel that the power of the Evil King Blade had increased by at least 30%.
If we encounter a powerful enemy like the Blood Demon Lord again, we can fight him with just the Evil King Blade!
"good very good."
Ye Yang was satisfied and put the Evil King Blade back into his body to nurture it.
This trip not only eliminated a major threat, but also yielded many secret techniques and treasures, making it a resounding victory.
"Fellow Daoist, it's time for us to leave."
The Xuanwu Sacred Beast reminded him.
"The battle just now had too much impact; it may have already attracted the attention of other powerful individuals. It's not advisable to stay here any longer."
"What you say is absolutely right, fellow Daoist."
Ye Yang nodded, looked around, and put all the remaining Star Essence Gold and Star Core Fragments into his storage bag.
He then activated the Immortal Stabilization Technique to find the best route to leave the mine.
He quickly found a relatively safe passage.
"Walk!"
Ye Yang flashed, transforming into a streak of light, rushing out of the mine and disappearing into the vast Star Ruins Ancient Road.
Shortly after they left, several powerful auras descended upon the area, only to find a desolate battlefield. (End of Chapter)
