Chapter 258 Poisonous Beast Army, The Death of Long Yiran
In this kind of earth-shattering upheaval, who still cared where Wang Yu was.
The only thought was to save their lives!
Among the tens of thousands of Cultivators, there were only thirty-some Core Formation, and they were divided into many factions. This lineup to face the four great Nascent Soul Herb Kings, plus hundreds upon thousands of Third Grade Blood Corpse Giants.
Describing it as an egg hitting a stone was a bit inappropriate; this was tofu hitting alloy, collapsing at the first touch.
Wang Yu finally got his wish.
Concealing himself in Mid-air, he tried as much as possible to hide in the distance.
The Cultivators were indeed routed, but the gap in the number of powerhouses was simply too large. Correspondingly, the vast majority were surrounded, and only Core Formation Cultivators possessed the ability to break through.
In the Blood Mist environment, Divine Sense was blocked very severely.
Direction was difficult to discern.
And the Heaven Soul Sect Ruins had replaced the location of the original Nether Ghost Mountain; saying it was a change of heaven and earth was no exaggeration, the Mountain Gate of an Ancient Era overlord.
The area was so vast, and everywhere was filled with incomplete Formations and Restrictions. If Cultivators flew high, they would be targeted by Blood Corpse Giants; if they flew low, they would be attacked by Blood Mist Beasts and Blood Corpses.
Even triggering remnant Formations and Restrictions.
As soon as the two sides made contact, the Cultivators suffered heavy casualties. The method of death was even more cruel – their blood was drained, and their dried corpses swayed and stood up, becoming Blood Corpses, multiplying as they fought.
Piercing cries were everywhere, and Blood Demon Power was even more formidable, more powerful than Core Formation Magical Power, almost able to erode any defense formed by Spells and Divine Abilities.
Wang Yu then saw a Saint Sect Core Formation Cultivator, driving large swaths of Poisonous Insects, wanting to devour a Blood Corpse Giant, but instead, he was eroded by the blood with aggregation properties.
The insect swarm, refined through years of Sacrificial Refinement, transformed into Blood Demon Slaves, and in turn, devoured their old master completely, not even leaving a bone fragment behind.
The war potential displayed was astonishing.
And the ordinary Blood Corpses, which were easy to kill, once their death toll reached a thousand, would gather Demon Blood and rapidly form a new Blood Corpse Giant.
Cannon fodder died, yet could still give birth to Third Tier combat strength.
Was this reasonable?!!
"Ahhh———"
Severed limbs, heads, and flesh splattered.
At this moment, the Heaven Soul Sect Ruins was like a slaughterhouse, myriad spirits and living beings had almost no power to resist except for wailing. This was only a portion of the power left behind by the Ancient Demon named [Blood].
It could be seen that the legends of Ancient Demons being far more powerful than Spirit Transformation Honored Ones were not really groundless.
Wang Yu really wanted to use the Wailing Ghost Flute to take a breath; the number of living souls rapidly generated here was boundless, absolutely enough to make the Yin Crow Ghost Domain of the Wailing Ghost Flute instantly reach Perfection.
Unfortunately.
In these years, even the next thirty or forty years, Person Wang had a stress response to the words "seeking wealth and danger."
The Void Escape Talisman was already activated, and Wang Yu once again transformed into silver light, disappearing into the Space Crack.
Unexpectedly, this Void Escape Talisman did not teleport him thousands of miles away, but instead made him appear near the original Secret Realm Gate, at the Blood Mist Edge!
"Only teleported a few hundred miles…
"Oh well, being able to break away from the Battlefield center is already luck."
He suspected that it was caused by that Sky-Piercing Demon Sunflower. After all, there had been no problems with the previous uses.
The Demon Sunflower possessed Rank 4 Late Stage strength. If it had done something to this area, with his strength, it would be difficult to discover.
"Buzz buzz buzz——"
"Hm?"
The sudden sound made Wang Yu, who had just gotten up, immediately shrink back again. Outside the Blood Mist, black clouds formed by patches of poisonous insects were pressing down.
Wang Yu's expression immediately became quite unsightly, one wave not yet settled, another rose.
According to the records of the Inverse Spirit Blood Sect, the Heavenly Demon Bone Forest was the territory of a Spirit Transformation Poisonous Beast. Even if it had reached some kind of agreement with the Demonic Path factions.
This Heaven Soul Sect Ruins, which suddenly squeezed through space and descended into the present world, still possessed great attraction, enough to make it temporarily abandon the agreement.
Just the super Spirit Vein underground, the Spirit Transformation Poisonous Beast would not let go of it. After all, it could stably provide pure Spiritual Qi, which was already an excellent harvest for the Spirit Transformation Honored One's slow Cultivation Speed, not to mention the super Spirit Mineral that accompanied it; the number of High-Grade Spirit Stones would not be small.
All kinds of poisonous beasts, both recognized and unrecognized, launched an attack towards the Blood Mist, like a black, overwhelming tide.
Wang Yu had no other choice but to hide.
This disaster he caused seemed a bit too big.
Poisonous beasts were the masters of the Heavenly Demon Bone Forest, and they absolutely did not lack Rank 4 existences. Moreover, the environment here was extremely suitable for their breeding and growth. They arrived the fastest, and their numbers were also the largest.
Absolutely exceeding ten million, or even more.
The various toxins left behind wherever passing made Wang Yu's face turn green. This kind of mixed poison was the most terrifying. Hiding Underground, he hurriedly scooped out the Flawless Jade Toad.
He placed it on his chest, allowing it to devour all toxic substances approaching him.
The Poisonous Beast Army rushed into the Blood Mist.
Wang Yu waited for a full two-hour period before the Poisonous Beast Army fully entered the Blood Mist. The fighting scenes were even more intense, the Ruins, which had already become ruins, were now razed to the ground.
Blood Rivers flowed, venom became pools.
There were Blood Corpse Giants tearing apart hundred-meter spiders, and Scarlet Mosquito Beasts sucking dry a Blood River, yet not being controlled by Blood Demon Power, instead fighting with the Blood Demon Ginseng.
The earth shook and the mountains swayed, everywhere were Gorge-like earth cracks. This was clearly a Rank 4 Poisonous Beast.
There was a Toad manifesting a Moon-Swallowing Scene, a mouthful of cold Qi freezing a tens of thousands of meters long Blood River. Blood Mist Beasts and Blood Corpse Giants were unable to escape unscathed, and then confronted the Blood Demon Shouwu.
When Wang Yu climbed up from Underground, what he saw was this apocalyptic scene. The earth was sinking, mountains were collapsing, everything in his vision was being destroyed.
"This is Nascent Soul Power… truly exaggerated."
Wang Yu continued speeding towards the Blood Mist Edge, and in just a few breaths, he completely broke away.
Looking back, his expression instantly became complicated.
He saw Long Yiran…'s corpse!
Her left leg was petrified, and the right half of her body was as unbearable as flesh paste. In her wide-open left eye, there was full of yearning and reluctance for life. Toxins were eroding her corpse.
Causing continuous growth of poison sacs, which then burst open, ejecting pus and poison smoke… mixing into the air, forming Purplish-Black Poison Mist, contending with the Blood Mist.
This trustworthy person, whose life had just begun to improve, regrettably buried her bones here. The reason could be summed up in nothing more than the word "strength."
Truly unfortunate.
Perhaps it was because of the Nether River Pact that the two had developed this trust, but in the years of getting along, Wang Yu truly felt the touch in his mind.
Friendship… was very close to him, yet very far away.
Trust, this indescribably precious thing, in addition to being betrayed, the death of the trusted object would also cause a mental impact.
Not weaker than the impact brought about by being schemed against by Chang Xi back then.
It also added a touch of understanding to the Taihu Spirit Domain for him. When he sorted out the feelings and comprehension in his mind, he would take another step forward on the Path of the Mind.
"Long Yiran——
"I remember you."
This one glance was enough for Wang Yu to remember for life.
...
...
At the Blood Mist Edge, on the opposite side of Wang Yu, Green Snake True Person and Liu Jin Xian met at the top of a high mountain, looking into the distance at the battle between poisonous beasts and Blood Demon Slaves.
Their faces were filled with undisguised shock.
"There are unexpectedly so many Rank 4 existences."
Green Snake True Person looked at his daughter, reached out and touched her head, and sighed, "This time Poison Peak has suffered no small losses. Unexpected that this kind of thing would happen."
Liu Jin Xian, however, rolled her eyes and said.
"Daddy, Tenth Elder is dead, do you have an opportunity to take over his slots…"
The Nine Peaks system of the Inverse Spirit Blood Sect, as long as one Breakthroughs to Core Formation, they can become an Elder, divided into two types: Outer Sect Elder and Inner Sect Elder. The latter has a higher status, comparable to True Disciples.
In addition to the position distinction, each peak Inner Sect also has a title of Twelve Elders, generally held by Peak Core Formation Cultivators. They are the highest authority under the Nascent Soul of each peak.
The composition of this Elder council is more complex. Strength is a rigid requirement, and also the simplest one.
Other aspects of measurement mainly come from background and potential. Background is the most important of the important.
If one has some Nascent Soul Formation potential, and runs around making connections, they can also take up the position of Twelve Elders. They manage all secular matters of each peak, matters of management.
And they also control the real money bag of a peak, Foundation Establishment and Core Formation Spirit Slaves!
Composed of Righteous Path war criminals, rebellious factions, or factions hostile to the Saint Sect, the scale is much larger than the small-scale Stone House Area.
What Liu Jin Xian said was no different from wishful thinking.
Green Snake True Person, however, pondered and said, "Almost all the Fellow Disciples who came this time are dead. If we grasp this opportunity, perhaps Daddy can gain the appreciation of the Poison Mountain Lord."
If he could really scheme for the position of Twelve Elders of Poison Peak, Liu Jin Xian's Identity as a Second Generation Heir could also be elevated. Hoping for one's son to become a dragon, nothing more than this!
"It is not advisable to delay, your Martial Uncle Wu's message said that in the [Heavenly Demon Bone Forest] area, two overlords appeared in the Ancient Era.
"The Ancient Era [Ten Thousand Insects Sect] was destroyed, and then this Heavenly Demon Bone Forest was formed. After that, the Ancient Sky Soul Sect established itself here, and was later slaughtered due to the Blood Demon Calamity.
"Judging from the current situation, the possibility of it being the Heaven Soul Sect Ruins is greater. The Blood Demon Hall will definitely be interested in these Blood Demon Herb Kings.
"Xian, you go contact Lu Chen Zhou, sell the Blood Demon Hall a favor, and Father will contact the Poison Mountain Lord and Insect Demon Senior."
"Okay."
As the only two survivors of the Inverse Spirit Blood Sect, the two were unwilling to stay here; it was truly too dangerous.
But Green Snake True Person still left a few snake Gu to monitor the situation here at any time. The father and daughter's joint action progress was quite fast.
What happened in the Heavenly Demon Bone Forest could not spread in a day or two.
But it was absolutely impossible to hide. The conflict between poisonous beasts and Blood Corpses for people who often move around in Ten Thousand Poisons Town would take at least half a month to be reported.
This gap in time was the advantage time for the Inverse Spirit Blood Sect and Yellow Springs Temple to act. Once it passed, and no victory or defeat had been decided, the result would be difficult to say.
They were in action.
People in Yellow Springs Temple were also alerted, and they luckily escaped with their lives. Just the existence of the Ten Thousand Year Medicine King was enough to make them compete with full power.
Even if their state was not right, they would still try their best to contend for it.
The intelligence about Wang Yu, this masked man, was also sent to the higher-ups of Yellow Springs Temple. Ghost Curse Demon Lord learned of it and was completely bewildered, not knowing when he dispatched True Disciples for exploration.
Could it be that it was manipulated by the Yellow Springs Evil Ghosts under his command?
The identity of the mysterious person became a mystery, but it was definitely someone from Yellow Springs Temple, this was beyond doubt.
The top priority was still to compete with the Inverse Spirit Blood Sect for the Herb King!
The winds and clouds gathered from all directions.
Following Moonchasing Province, the Heavenly Demon Bone Forest in Cloud Ridge North once again became the target of public criticism. An even larger scale Nascent Soul Level conflict was brewing.
