The bloated black snake phantom coiled in the sky above Blackstone City and collided intensely with the Myriad Slaughter Sect Master.
The strength of both sides exceeded the imagination of ordinary cultivators, the waves produced by the collision spreading out in waves.
The black stone building that could withstand the attacks of the warships was not much better than a house made of straw. It was destroyed in pieces by the two sides.
Under such a terrible environment, anyone below the Nascent Soul realm could not even stand their ground.
Jiang Li was surprised that the Holy Spirit of the Rock Mountain Range had such power.
This was the outcome that Huyan Long’an and the others wanted. Only if the Holy Spirit attacked again would the remaining cultivators of the Rock Mountain Range have a chance of survival.
However, it was only a chance of survival.
Although the Holy Spirit’s soul was powerful, it had already lost to the Myriad Slaughter Sect when it was alive.
Now that the snake was dead, its body was cut into pieces and thrown into the cauldron.
Although it had relied on the formed Blood King Cauldron to forcefully transform into a spirit, its strength was still weaker than when it was alive.
Moreover, the energy that erupted was provided by the Blood King Cauldron. Once the spiritual qi in the cauldron was exhausted, the Holy Spirit would be unable to fight even if its soul was shattered.
Jiang Li knew that this opportunity was rare and fleeting.
Holding the lotus platform that had already been repaired and filled with the blood of madness in the Asura World, he accelerated towards the main hall of Blackstone City.
The grade and power of this Karma Cleansing Lotus was extremely high and powerful. In contrast, the amount of energy materials needed to repair this lotus flower was so huge that it could absolutely easily bankrupt him several times.
If not for the fact that the Blood Fighting Arena was rich and generous, Jiang Li might have kept this lotus platform as a mere ornament.
“Who are you? How dare you trespass into the Sect Master’s sleeping chamber!”
The entire Blackstone City was already in chaos. The top experts who could help were all helping Sect Master Wu Fan and the giant snake phantom fight in the sky.
The captured cultivators of the Rock Mountain Range in the four dungeons also began to truly escape.
Taking advantage of the moment when the battle between the Holy Spirits shook the world, they broke out of the cage under the lead of Huyan Long’an and the others.
All the living forces of the Myriad Slaughter Sect were attracted to them.
Jiang Li’s abnormal actions of running all the way naturally drew the attention of some people, but there were utterly few people with any weight to stop him.
It was not until there was a group of thick-armored guards in front of the Blackstone Main Hall in the core that they remained unmoved despite the chaos outside.
This group of ten thick armored guards was an absolute confidant that Wu Fan had nurtured from young. Ever since they were still children, they had worn heavy armor and received strict training.
It was said that they had no name, no surname, and no desires. They had never taken off their armor their entire lives and only listened to the orders of the Myriad Slaughter Sect’s Sect Master.
Seeing that there were others coming, they shouted. It was actually a luxurious configuration formed by a Soul Formation cultivator and nine Nascent Soul cultivators.
“On the orders of the Sect Master! Head to the main hall and activate the Blackstone City’s array to suppress the foreign enemies!”
Jiang Li did not stop walking. He casually made up an excuse to bluff his way through.
However, it was obvious that his bullshitting skills were not perfect.
“Where is the Sect Master’s token?! Without it, no one is allowed to pass!”
When they saw that Jiang Li’s speed was not reduced in the slightest, spiritual light flashed throughout the bodies of the armored soldiers, and they raised the large saber in their hands and were already prepared to fight.
“The token is here! Hurry up and move aside!”
Another collision occurred in the air behind him.
This collision caused a canyon to crack in the center of Blackstone City.
The Holy Spirit, which had just been overflowing with might, was suddenly sent flying thousands of feet back. Its translucent body had clearly shrunk a little in a short moment.
It was only a snake spirit without the support of its body. It was already extremely difficult to fight the Myriad Slaughter Sect Master. Furthermore, it was surrounded by many experts of the Myriad Slaughter Sect. The speed at which it was consumed was too fast and could not last for long.
However, this tremor also shook the ten armored soldiers until their figures became unstable. A flaw appeared in their formation!
As Jiang Li spoke, he raised his hand and threw out the blood red lotus platform in his hand.
“How dare you! Those who trespass into the forbidden area will die!”
The leader of the thick-armored guards brandished the saber in his hand. The ten people behind him formed a formation, and the powerful saber was about to cut the lotus platform into two.
However, at that moment, the lotus platform suddenly opened, projecting a lotus phantom that enveloped the ten of them.
The saber slashed into the inner wall of the lotus shadow. Not only did the power of the saber light not shatter the shadow, but the ten armored soldiers inside were all injured and spat out a mouthful of blood.
“Didn’t Sect Master Wu tell you not to cut things you haven’t seen before?”
Jiang Li put away the lotus platform, circled around the lotus shadow, and continued to run inside.
The Karma Cleansing Lotus at its peak was truly too powerful. Back then, it had trapped six Divine Monks and almost destroyed the Benevolent Travel Temple.
The ability of karma could return all damage that had not exceeded its limit to the cultivator enveloped in the shadow. If one was trapped inside without special methods, they could only wait for the shadow to dissipate or for their companions outside to save them.
Now that it was used again, it succeeded without question.
This group of thick-armored guards guarded the Sect Master closely all year round. Although they enjoyed the best resources and cultivated the best cultivation methods, they had too little combat experience and rashly attacked the blood lotus, causing them to be completely trapped.
Although Jiang Li could not do anything to them in a short period of time, trapping them was enough.
The Myriad Slaughter Sect Master was suspicious and cautious. There were very few people who could enter his bedroom. After Jiang Li entered the main hall, he discovered that there were only a few maidservants with low cultivation levels. They had already been shaken unconscious by the aftershock of the battle and no one knew if they were dead or alive.
He did not care.
In the past few days, other than cooperating with Huyan Long’an, he had not been idle.
He walked around the entire Blackstone City. Relying on his Earth Spirit Body and the array formation veins that had been exposed to the surface during the war, he had already roughly deduced the location of the energy gathering core of this city.
He took two steps into the core palace. The ground was embedded with complicated array disc patterns.
This was the original array core of Blackstone City.
The Myriad Slaughter Sect had yet to completely master it. They only placed a few seals on it, intending to study it in the future.
It was not possible to control the Blackstone City’s array in a short period of time.
However, he did not need to go through so much trouble.
He took out the flag and stabbed it into the ground.
Relying on the treasure of the human race, he wanted to forcefully hijack the earth vein here.
The ground was too hard, so the Ground Control Flag did not pierce through immediately. Jiang Li kicked at the top of the flagpole.
The black stone cracked and the Ground Control Flag stabbed into the earth vein core.
The entire foundation of Black Rock City shook three times because of Alliance Leader Jiang’s kick.
“Something happened in the main hall. The two of you go take a look.”
The commotion of hijacking the earth vein was too great, and it was unavoidable for the higher-ups of the Myriad Slaughter Sect to notice.
Two of the Soul Formation cultivators abandoned the injured Holy Spirit Snake that was still fighting crazily and flew towards the Blackstone City’s main hall.
From afar, they saw the thick-armored guards trapped by the lotus shadow at the entrance of the main hall. They knew that someone was plotting something big and hurriedly rushed to the core.
However, when they split open the main hall, a blood-red lotus platform was slowly blooming.
As the petals of the lotus platform opened, a chaotic and crazy energy was continuously surging outwards.
Their Soul Formation saber lights were extremely solid and stable. Regardless, they were corroded by the special energy and had a violent reaction. They directly exploded in the air.
Just like Benevolent Travel Temple back then, this level of attack was completely harmless to the lotus platform.
Under the protection of the Karma Cleansing Lotus, Jiang Li was using the Ground Control Flag to connect the earth veins and lotus platform.
The energy consumed to open the spatial crack through the lotus platform was definitely not ordinary.
Previously, the Hundred Tempering Mountain had even changed their sect’s grand array because of this matter.
It was already quite good that Jiang Li could use the Ground Control Flag to gather enough energy in a short period of time.
He then dug a huge hole in the ground. He opened the Yin Burial Coffin and poured out a small mountain of Asura World Blood Crystals towards the main vein.
These blood crystals were stimulated by the earth vein power and exploded continuously like popcorn.
The power of chaos that erupted from the Asura blood flowed along the earth vein. Not long after, wisps of chaotic power emerged from the ground.
Cultivators who accidentally absorbed this energy immediately had their spiritual qi in chaos.
Due to this sudden change in the battle, cultivators would either be injured or die.
The Myriad Slaughter Sect and the Rock Mountain Range had both suffered varying degrees of damage, but to the fleeing cultivators of the Rock Mountain Range, the enemies who were tied up were naturally more helpful.
“Who are you?! How dare you cause trouble in my Myriad Slaughter Sect!”
“You can’t escape anymore! If you stop and surrender now, we might let you live!”
The two Soul Formation elders beside the Blackstone City’s main hall attacked the blood lotus several times but failed.
On the other hand, under the supply of the earth vein energy, the petals of the blood lotus were opening up piece by piece, revealing a strange stone building hidden within.
At this moment, they finally noticed Jiang Li who was hiding beneath the blood lotus and couldn’t help but probe. They were very curious as to who would come to the Myriad Slaughter Sect to cause trouble.
With a thought from Jiang Li, a transparent figure appeared by his side. He took off his mask and revealed a face that had been baptized by the storm on the sea.
Ming Duowei, who was originally an elder of the Dragon Transformation Island, erupted with dragon blood aura at the same time as Jiang Li.
“When has anyone ever asked about the actions of the Dragon Transformation Island?”
“Leave quickly. My Dragon Transformation Island wants this place!”
Ming Duowei even took out his Dragon Transformation Island token and sent out a dragon-shaped shadow to prove his identity. His actions were simply arrogant and domineering to the extreme.
“That’s Elder Ming Duowei of the Dragon Transformation Island!”
“Dragon Transformation Island! You’re simply going too far!”
“Damn it, what are you doing!”
Amidst the furious roars of the two Soul Formation elders, the petals of the Blood Lotus Platform finally opened.
On the lotus platform, at this moment, there was a strange altar with a strange shape that did not look like the product of the Nine Provinces Continent.
Jiang Li flicked his finger, and a drop of the blood of madness from the Great Asura Vemacitrin landed on the altar.
In an instant, red lightning tore through the sky and struck the Blood Lotus Altar.
A sound ten thousand times more ear-piercing than a crystal shattering sounded. The space on the lotus platform altar tore apart at this moment.
Cracks in space quickly spread upwards with the altar as the starting point.
Through the huge cracks, one could vaguely see a strange red world on the other side.
“What… what… what is this!”
Even the Elder of the Myriad Slaughter Sect had never experienced such a scene.
Behind the crack, an aura that made their hearts palpitate came. That feeling was definitely stronger than their Sect Master!
At this moment, an eyeball that was larger than a house floated over. It turned its eyeball behind the crack and peeked at the world.
The two Soul Formation elders even saw a satisfied expression on the eyeball.
“They planned this long ago! Quick! Quickly inform the Sect Master!”
The large eyeball retreated in satisfaction. Then, a creature with bat-like wings, blood-red skin, and an ugly appearance like the legendary yaksha flew to the side of the eyeball.
The Fallen Blood Yaksha waved its steel trident forward.
In the next moment, it was as if a dam had broken.
A vast number of strange creatures suddenly appeared and surged over from behind the tree branch-like spatial crack.
From the perspective of the continent of the Nine Provinces, all of these monsters were ugly deformities.
However, these ugly things had been immersed in fighting their entire lives.
They were even crazier than the Demon Sect’s Myriad Slaughter Sect and yearned to destroy it.
The butchers of the Myriad Slaughter Sect, who were chasing after the cultivators of the Rock Mountain Range with their blood sabers, suddenly heard a roar from behind.
As soon as they turned their heads, they were greeted by bloody mouths with long tongues.
From now on, they had also become prey.
In the chaotic Blackstone City, such an interesting scene appeared.
The cultivators of the outermost area of the Rock Mountain Range were running for their lives. Behind them, a large number of Myriad Slaughter Sect cultivators were also running. In the end, a crimson beast tide was trying to devour everything.
It was not that the disciples of the Myriad Slaughter Sect did not want to kill the enemy.
However, a large number of the Myriad Slaughter Sect cultivators were newly recruited rogue cultivators.
This group of people had not changed their style. They were famous for being spineless and could only fight a smooth battle. Once something happened, they would run faster than anyone.
It did not matter if they ran, but they messed up their own camp, causing the other cultivators of the Myriad Slaughter Sect to be unable to counterattack even if they wanted to.
At this moment, a blood saber slashed down from the sky, almost splitting the entire Blackstone City into two.
Thousands of Asura World monsters died under this blade.
The Myriad Slaughter Sect’s Sect Master, Wu Fan, blocked the red beast tide with a single slash.
Then, dozens of figures fell from the sky. The saber lights easily tore the blood beasts into pieces.
The Soul Formation experts of the Myriad Slaughter Sect freed up their hands and began to eliminate the monsters on a large scale.
Under the situation of a huge difference in the cultivation realm, quantity might not determine the outcome.
Dozens of Soul Formation cultivators were enough to stop the beast tide.
However, how could Jiang Li be willing to let this happen after spending so much effort?
Ten steel forks with magma patterns were thrown from afar.
They directly repelled the ten Soul Formation cultivators, and then the steel trident flew back and landed in the hands of the ten Six-Winged Yakshas.
Then, ten clouds formed by black-headed flies surged in from the crack. The buzzing flies gathered into ten blurry human forms.
Apart from that, there were also hundreds of human heads.
This was the Shadow Ghost Race that specialized in hiding in the shadows all their lives and controlling puppets.
Back then, on the Hundred Tempering Mountain, because the Asura World creatures were generally large in size and could not pass through the spatial crack, it gave the alliance army of the three sects a chance to resist.
With the example from back then, now that Jiang Li wanted to personally launch another Asura World War, he naturally would not allow such a major flaw to appear.
His yaksha clone suggested to the High Priest that they should urgently mobilize some top-notch demons that were relatively small in size and were able to pass through the spatial crack.
With them entangling with the experts of the Myriad Slaughter Sect, they could forget about a peaceful resolution this time!
