“Young Master Huyan is so powerful. He can actually bring over so many monsters. This time, we will definitely teach those animals from the Myriad Slaughter Sect a lesson.”
“These damned murderers! They deserve to die in the mouths of those monsters!”
“Brother Huyan, these monsters are so terrifying. Where did you find them? Is it the hidden power of the Huyan Clan?”
Huyan Long’an and the others who had finally escaped Blackstone City, as well as the group of captives they had saved.
Looking at the crazy battlefield in the city, they could not help but have a stunned expression and gulp.
It was true that the Holy Spirit Snake was very powerful, but it was alone. If not for this monster suddenly attacking, they would have been stopped by the cultivators of the Myriad Slaughter Sect.
In addition, the image of the Holy Spirit Snake was very noble in the Rock Mountain Range. It practically accompanied their growth, so it would not be too abrupt to see it again.
In that group of monsters, limbs and organs were ridiculously long. Just a glance could make people unable to eat for a few days, let alone this vast expanse. The scene was really terrifying, and it naturally left a deeper impression on them.
However, when they looked at Huyan Long’an, they discovered that the young master’s expression was as shocked as theirs.
Clearly, even he did not know anything about the flesh monsters that suddenly appeared behind him.
“Brother Huyan, didn’t you arrange those things?” A female cultivator asked in surprise.
Huyan Long’an could only shake his head stiffly.
Forget about seeing these monsters, he had never even heard of them.
“Wait, could it be him?”
Huyan Long’an suddenly recalled the Green Mountain Ascetic who had helped them draw the snake eye runes by chance and completed their plan.
That Green Mountain Ascetic was righteous and his identity was a mystery. His cultivation was unfathomable.
On the surface, he only had a Foundation Establishment cultivation, but as a Nascent Soul cultivator, he felt waves of fear when he stood beside the other party.
Such a figure definitely had another goal in coming to the Myriad Slaughter Sect. This scene might be his goal.
Who was that person who could summon such a large number of monsters?
At this moment, Huyan Long’an suddenly discovered that there seemed to be something in his sleeve.
Reaching out, he found a token and a note that he had never seen before.
It turned out that when he stuffed something into Jiang Li’s hand earlier, Jiang Li had also hidden something into his sleeve.
“Join forces against a common enemy, both of us will benefit.”
These words were written on the note.
The other token mentioned the Great Mountain Alliance.
“He’s from the Great Mountain Alliance!”
Huyan Long’an instantly recalled the unlucky force that was said to be targeted by the Myriad Slaughter Sect.
Immediately, he understood Jiang Li’s motive and plan for coming to the Myriad Slaughter Sect.
Compared to their Rock Mountain Range’s passive defense, the Great Mountain Region’s method was to brazenly attack the enemy from behind.
Such boldness was truly admirable. Moreover, it was just as Jiang Li had said, the enemy of an enemy was a friend, and both sides would benefit if they cooperated.
“I know where we should go next. Let’s go!”
The group supported each other. Taking advantage of the fact that the Myriad Slaughter Sect did not have the energy to pay attention to them, they quickly disappeared into the vast wilderness.
…
In Blackstone City, blood and flesh covered these black rocks layer by layer as if they were free.
Some were from monsters, while others were from humans.
When the top demons of the Asura World attacked, the battle became several times more intense.
The large number of blood crystals that Jiang Li had buried in the earth vein in advance filled the entire city with the power of chaos.
In such an environment, the demons of the Asura World naturally had the advantage.
The Six-Winged Yaksha’s lava steel trident could cause one’s blood to boil and their internal organs to burn with just a touch.
The black flies were formless and could be separated or combined at will. It was very difficult for the blood sabers of the Myriad Slaughter Sect to capture their physical body. This group of disgusting flies would desperately drill into the cultivators’ seven orifices.
At first, they did not feel anything when these flies entered their bodies. However, they would lay eggs in the human body to reproduce. In a short period of time, they would devour the human and turn them into more flies that filled the sky.
There were also flying pythons, shadow ghosts, and even extremely strange creatures of the other world.
This was the first time they had encountered such an enemy, causing the cultivators of the Myriad Slaughter Sect to suffer losses repeatedly.
It was not until dark clouds gathered in the sky and lightning fell like rain that they regained their advantage.
They would never have dreamed that they would one day receive such treatment.
Naturally, they, who had committed too many sins, did not have the ability to earn merits until it reached a positive number.
The battle between the flesh beast tide and the Myriad Slaughter Sect made almost no place in Blackstone City safe.
The only calm and safe place was the area under Jiang Li’s feet.
With a move, he diverted the trouble.
He opened the spatial crack leading to the Blood Fighting Arena in the headquarters of the Myriad Slaughter Sect.
A large number of casualties could be seen with the naked eye.
Moreover, as long as this spatial crack was not closed, the group of people from the Myriad Slaughter Sect could not leave.
This was because this matter happened in the territory of the Myriad Slaughter Sect, and it was still possible that it would endanger the other large-scale evil events in the Eastern Region.
Whoever caused trouble would clean up the mess. This was the rule.
The Divine Judgment Hall would not allow this situation to continue to worsen. Just like in the Ghost King Desolate Ground, the Myriad Slaughter Sect had to resolve everything by themselves.
The effect of this move was very obvious. It could definitely cause the Myriad Slaughter Sect’s vitality to be greatly damaged and they would not be able to take care of it for a long time.
However, the price of such an action soon appeared.
Jiang Li used his spiritual qi to create a fresh flower in his hand, and then he spat out a breath of air at the flower.
This breath clearly did not use spiritual qi, but after blowing on the flower, it still quickly withered and rotted.
The current Jiang Li looked dark-yellow with thick black lips. His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked extremely unhealthy.
He was no longer as charming as before.
Previously, in the coffin, he had used the statue to send over a hundred Asura World creatures, causing negative karma to wrap around him for several days before dissipating.
However, at this moment, he directly opened a spatial crack leading to the Asura World and took the initiative to cause an invasion.
No matter what his goal was, as long as he did this, a large amount of negative karma would be his retribution.
With the concentration of negative karma on his body, even his parasitized good friends would find him a little annoying. If he returned to the Great Mountain Alliance, he might be able to remove the Alliance Leader position the next day.
However, sometimes, to Jiang Li, it might be a good thing to face a more serious punishment.
This was because he could only deal with it after forming the status.
[Assisted the invasion of the Asura World. Punished by heaven and earth. Added Status: Negative Karma (Medium)]
[Negative Karma (Medium): The affinity between heaven and earth is greatly reduced. All attributes are suppressed. You will face many disasters. The expenditure of spiritual qi will increase. The effect of absorbing spiritual qi will decrease. Merit cannot be accumulated. Heavenly Tribulation will be greatly strengthened. Duration: 30 years] (− +)
Jiang Li clicked his tongue in wonder. This world was really petty.
Back then, when he worked hard to kill the monsters of the Asura World, the duration of the reward was only seven days.
However, this negative karma would last for 30 years.
Moreover, the effect was so abnormal that ordinary people really could not afford to provoke it.
The familiar thunderclouds above his heads rolled more and more intensely. There were already quite a few bolts of lightning that landed on the lotus platform.
Jiang Li felt that he had already been firmly locked onto by the lightning clouds. In this awareness of this world, he was probably a villain who would bear the brunt of it.
If not for Jiang Li’s confidence, he would not have been able to withstand this.
After carefully looking at the status twice and discovering that this negative karma was really unable to bring him any benefits, Jiang Li used his mind to press the minus button.
Regardless of whether it was 30 years or 300 years, to Jiang Li who even dared to eat waste pills like candy, there was actually no difference.
Five seconds later, the negative karma status disappeared, and Jiang Li’s expression quickly returned to normal. The lightning clouds in the sky were no longer targeting him, and his affinity with heaven and earth was back to normal.
In the next moment, Jiang Li’s expression changed, and the aura on his body quickly surged. He hurriedly sat cross-legged on the ground and adjusted his breathing.
After suffering the suppression of heaven and earth, he was released again. Although the truth was that the duration was very short, from the effect of the status bar, it was as if he was at the Foundation Establishment realm and had been suppressed by heaven and earth for an entire 30 years. Now, he was released overnight.
The suppressed spiritual qi instantly broke through to the ninth level of the Foundation Establishment realm. At the same time, his Dao Foundation became extremely solid and stable, as if he had really suppressed his cultivation realm and slowly tempered it for 30 years.
Previously, he had resisted the Nine-Tailed Fox’s status and gained the “Iron Will”.
Now that he had removed the negative karma binding him, it was equivalent to him having deepened his Dao Foundation for 30 years.
He did not expect that negative statuses could also bring him unexpected benefits.
He sat cross-legged on the ground, not daring to move at all.
As long as he relaxed a little, he would probably directly reach the Core Formation realm. Jiang Li had long planned for the Core Formation realm. He could not act rashly in this chaotic situation.
After a long time, he barely stabilized the aura in his body. He carefully stood up and looked outside.
The distant battlefield was in chaos. Even with his vision, he could not see who was winning.
However, there were countless monsters in the Asura World. As long as he summoned them, countless free monsters would swarm over.
Therefore, no matter what, the cultivators of the Myriad Slaughter Sect would suffer a loss. This was very in line with Jiang Li’s expectations.
However, the battle on the ground was tense, and the two sides above were about to determine the winner.
The spiritual qi in the Blood King Cauldron gradually exhausted. The Holy Spirit Snake was beaten back repeatedly. Its phantom dissipated several times and its size became smaller and smaller.
It was only a matter of time before the Holy Spirit was defeated.
The Blood Fighting Arena had found dozens of small top-tier monsters, but it was not so easy to find a small monster of a higher level.
The current plan was to let the Evil Eye High Priest attack from afar through the spatial crack.
However, fighting through the spatial crack was still more disadvantageous. No matter what hand it was, the farther away they were, the more expenditure they would suffer.
The Evil Eye High Priest might be able to defend the crack, but it was difficult for him to continue attacking.
After roughly determining the situation, Jiang Li turned around and started to pack his things. He was about to escape.
He pulled out the Ground Control Flag and put away the Blood Lotus Platform, leaving only the temporarily built strange altar floating in the air connected to the main earth vein.
Compared to the Karma Cleansing Lotus, the effect and strength of the altar were far inferior.
Although it could also support the spatial crack for a period of time, as long as it was prolonged or suffered too intense an attack, it would be destroyed.
At that time, only the opposite blood pool would support the crack, and the size of the spatial crack would greatly decrease.
However, he, Jiang Li, had already done what he wanted to do. It did not matter to him whether the Blood Fighting Arena could protect this altar.
To Jiang Li, neither side was on his side. The victory of either side was not something Jiang Li wanted to see.
It was best if they exhausted each other and ended up suffering heavy losses.
Now, the Blood Fighting Arena could not easily break through the Myriad Slaughter Sect.
It was very difficult for the Myriad Slaughter Sect to counterattack the Asura World, and they had no idea how to completely close the spatial crack.
The war between the two sides would not end easily.
Therefore, Jiang Li could now conceal himself and leave without a trace.
After putting away everything, Jiang Li took out something that looked like a wooden boat or a shuttle and placed it at the center of the earth vein.
When this thing encountered the earth vein, it was as if a fish had fallen into water and disappeared without any obstruction.
The Earth Spirit escape technique attached to it could make most earth-attribute cultivators ashamed to death.
This was the property left behind by the Hundred Tempering Mountain, the Earth Stealth Shuttle.
This thing could move along the earth vein without a sound, and its speed was abnormally fast.
The only drawback was that he could only follow the earth vein and could not control the exact location.
However, to escape, if even he did not know where to escape to, it would be even harder to find the enemy.
This flying ship was the trump card that the higher-ups of the Hundred Tempering Mountain planned to use to escape.
However, because of Jiang Li, the earth vein around their mountain gate had long been severed.
He had no choice but to open the Asura World with Old Demon Black Lotus and take the final gamble.
Later on, the Hundred Tempering Mountain perished, and this thing was fortunate enough to be obtained by Jiang Li, so it came in handy at this time.
Jiang Li’s figure shrunk and entered the Earth Stealth Shuttle.
Then, the flying shuttle sank into the earth vein and shuttled through the disorderly earth vein at high speed, silently disappearing from this dangerous city.
When this Earth Stealth Shuttle encountered the earth vein forks, it could control its direction. However, under the circumstances of moving at high speed, he could not tell which fork he was entering.
Moreover, Jiang Li did not look down from above, so he could not very well determine where the next fork led to.
He simply followed the flow and allowed the Earth Stealth Shuttle to bring him far away.
After Jiang Li entered the earth vein to escape, the Holy Spirit Snake in the sky finally could not endure it anymore. It was completely dispersed by a blood-colored saber light that connected the heavens and the earth.
The Blood King Cauldron also broke apart in the middle, splitting into two.
The Earth-rank artifact that the Myriad Slaughter Sect had spent a large amount of manpower and material to forge was destroyed just like that.
The phantom of the Holy Spirit Snake slowly dissipated in the air.
At the same time, in the earth vein hundreds of kilometers away from Blackstone City, a snake scale that Jiang Li had kept by his side emitted a strange glow..
