Chapter 578: Chapter 408: Netherworld Blood Sea, Asura!
“Damn it!”
Deep in the ocean.
A blood-red demonic light was fleeing.
If one looked closely, they could see that within the blood-red light was an ugly figure!
A layer of carapace armor covered the ugly figure, which was cracked, leaking out traces of bloody demonic energy. His hideous face was filled with anger.
“How is this mere mortal Daoist so powerful?”
“Not to mention possessing two immortal artifacts, he’s actually capable of using so many Daoist talismans on the fly… What has happened to the world in the 800 years that I’ve been asleep?”
“Are experts like this everywhere?”
As the ugly figure within the blood-red light fled, he looked back and couldn’t help but gasp, exclaiming, “Impossible… I’ve already cultivated to the Asura Realm, and even though my strength hasn’t returned to its peak after being suppressed for 800 years, using the Blood Escaping Skill should make my speed difficult for ordinary immortals and deities to match. How is this mortal faster than me?”
Looking behind, Xu Yang was treading water with a speed that even surpassed the blood-red demonic light!
Xu Yang had cultivated more than 70 kinds of Heaven and Earth Skills, making his cultivation dozens of times stronger than ordinary cultivators in the same realm. Moreover, he also practiced martial arts, reaching the early stage of the Land Immortal Realm!
He used the sword skill from the Daoist 72 Earth-Devil Skills, which was already incredibly fast. Now he could also use the three divine skills of Forbidden Water, Water Treading, and Interrupting Flow!
[Forbidden Water]: Allows one to move freely through inaccessible or poisonous waters!
[Water Treading]: Walk on water as if it were flat ground!
[Interrupting Flow]: Break the flow of rivers, a technique used to enter the Dragon Palace!
These three divine skills were all related to water.
When used, they allowed Xu Yang’s speed in the water to reach an unimaginably fast level, closing the distance to the blood-red demonic energy to within 10 li in just an instant!
“Ding!”
“Netherworld Demon frightened, Merit Points +100,000, Constitution +1.”
“Ding!”
“Netherworld Demon frightened, Merit Points +100,000, Constitution +1.”
“Ding…”
Feeling the system’s prompt sound in his mind, Xu Yang’s mood was momentarily uplifted, and he laughed, “You dare spew such grand words in front of this Daoist Master… Kid, today no one in heaven or earth can save you!”
Whoosh!
Xu Yang flipped his palm underwater, and more than twenty Wulei Talismans came flying out!
Before, his Jiao-slaying Sword and Supreme Purification Seal couldn’t harm the Netherworld Demon, but dozens of Wulei Talismans inflicted serious injury and sent it fleeing. This indicated that the Wulei Talismans were extremely effective against Netherworld Demons!
Upon careful thought, it made sense.
Netherworld…
Represents extreme Yin and evil!
Living beings born in the Netherworld would naturally be extremely Yin and evil!
While “thunder” represents extreme Yang and righteousness, it is the most effective against Yin and evil.
Boom!
As more than twenty Wulei Talismans exploded simultaneously, they triggered a large amount of thunderbolts to crash down. In an instant, the surrounding ocean within tens of li turned into a sea of thunder!
“Ah!”
The blood-red demonic light was struck by a thunderbolt, splitting it apart instantly.
The Netherworld Demon within the blood-red demonic light screamed, shouted, “Daoist talisman, more Daoist talismans. Damn it, how do you have so many Daoist talismans?”
“Ahhhhh!!!”
“Demonic Disintegration of Heaven and Earth, Asura Blood Sea, block it!”
Boom!
An overbearing aura suddenly erupted from the Netherworld Demon. He didn’t know what secret technique he used, but his aura instantly increased several folds!
His body burst apart with a bang, transforming back into a long, blood-red river!
Thunderbolts from the sky crashed down and struck the blood-red river, causing it to boil. However, they ultimately failed to destroy the blood-red river!
As the thunderbolts dissipated, the blood-red river converged and transformed back into the Netherworld Demon.
Xu Yang focused and a flash of immortal light passed through his mind. He then unleashed the Jiao-slaying Sword, slashing towards the Netherworld Demon!
The Netherworld Demon raised a blood cloud to block the Jiao-slaying Sword!
Xu Yang deployed the Supreme Purification Seal as well, smashing it with the grand seal. The blood cloud in front of the Netherworld Demon transformed into a blood shield, blocking the Supreme Purification Seal.
He looked like he had survived disaster, laughing, “Mortal, you can’t kill me. I’ve already cultivated to the Asura Realm, comparable to immortals and deities. Although you possess immortal artifacts, your cultivation is too weak and you haven’t condensed the rules of Immortal Daoist, so you can’t unleash the full power of the immortal artifacts… The only thing that can hurt me is your Daoist talismans. Unfortunately, those talismans are almost at the level of an immortal and deity’s power, extremely rare. I assume you’ve used up all the talismans you had, right?”
With Xu Yang’s current strength, how powerful were the Wulei Talismans he drew?
Especially his expertise in the “rules of the Thunderbolt,” which had already reached the level of a True Monarch.
Together with the help of the Supreme Purification Seal, the Wulei Talismans he drew could indeed unleash the power of a peak Daoist True Monarch’s attack, saying they were close to an immortal’s wouldn’t be an exaggeration!
“But as a mere mortal, you’ve made me burn my essence blood, using the Demonic Disintegration Secret Technique, that should be enough for you to be proud!”
The Netherworld Demon licked his lips, revealing a vicious smile on his ugly face.
After using the Demonic Disintegration Secret Technique, he was still at the peak of its effect, his momentum was flourishing. He walked towards Xu Yang, coldly saying, “Now I will kill you, devour your primordial spirit, seize your body, and search your memory. From then on, I’ll be taking your place in the mortal world…What?”
Before he could finish, he suddenly widened his eyes and stopped in his tracks. His eyes filled with disbelief and fear as he stared intently at Xu Yang…
More precisely, they were staring at Xu Yang’s right hand!
Xu Yang stood on the surface of the sea with a smirk, his hand pinching a bunch of Daoist talismans!
Xu Yang waved his hand.
In his left hand, another bunch of talismans appeared.
He waved at the Netherworld Demons and laughed, “Sorry… I have plenty more Wulei Talismans!”
“Ding!”
“The Netherworld Demon Clan is shocked, merit points +100,000, constitution +1.”
“Ding!”
“The Netherworld Demon Clan is shocked, merit points +100,000, constitution +1.”
“Ding…”
“No!”
The Netherworld Demon let out a scream, turned around and fled. As it flew away, it shouted, “Impossible, what kind of monster are you? How could you have so many Daoist thunder talismans?”
Rumbling!
Above, the clouds of thunder gathered once more!
The thunderbolts locked onto the Netherworld Demon’s aura and rained down continuously.
The Netherworld Demon wailed in pain, relying on the secret technique whose duration had not yet expired, constantly slipping away or counterattacking, managing to escape over 300 miles away!
“Can you escape?”
Xu Yang sneered, pursued closely, and with another wave of his hand, another thirty “Wulei Talismans” were activated!
“Ding!”
“The Netherworld Demon Clan is shocked, merit points +100,000, constitution +1.”
“Ding!”
“The Netherworld Demon Clan is shocked, merit points +100,000, constitution +1.”
“Ding…”
“Aaaaah!!!”
“Damn it!”
“How could you have so many Daoist thunder talismans?”
“I am a powerful cultivator of the Asura Realm. In the past, I was invincible in the mortal world. I never thought that today I would fall into the hands of a mortal like you… However, the experts of my clan will eventually awaken, and the mortal world will eventually turn into an Asura battlefield and become a source of nourishment for the elite of my clan!”
Finally, the effect of the “Demonic Disintegration of Heaven and Earth” secret technique on the Netherworld Demon’s body weakened.
Its aura rapidly dropped.
It became weaker than before using the secret technique, and its speed slowed down considerably.
Bang!
A thunderbolt struck down and hit its body.
This thunderbolt seemed like the last straw that broke the camel’s back, shattering a large part of the Netherworld Demon’s chitinous armor, slowing its movements even further, making it unable to dodge the subsequent thunderbolts!
When the thunderbolts in the sky finally dispersed, the Netherworld Demon had completely turned into a pool of blood, which spread out across the ocean.
“Ding!”
“Congratulations, for successfully transcending the Netherworld Demon, you are rewarded: merit points +1,000,000.”
In his mind, the system prompt sounded.
Besides that, Xu Yang, while driving the power from the “Wulei Talismans,” once again killed a large number of sea monsters, causing massive areas of sea monster corpses to float on the sea, yielding a huge harvest of merit points.
“There are more sea monsters in the sea than on land.”
“If I keep brushing merit points at sea, I guess I can get a few million a day without any problems.”
Xu Yang waved his hand, calming the sea surface.
He looked at the water and saw that the blood from the Netherworld Demon was dissolving in the water and spreading in all directions.
“A Netherworld Demon as powerful as an immortal or deity has a tremendous amount of power in its blood. If it’s devoured by a sea monster, I’m afraid it would create a terrifying monster.”
Naturally, Xu Yang wouldn’t let that happen. He opened his mouth and spit out a jet of “Samadhi True Fire” that fell on the surface of the sea. In just a moment, it burned away the blood scattered in the water, leaving only a token in the place where the blood had dispersed.
He reached out and grabbed the token in his hand, finding the word “blood” engraved on it.
In Fengdu City, Xu Yang had learned quite a bit about Netherworld Demons from Lord Cui!
The Netherworld creatures were dark by nature, hence they were called Netherworld Demons!
There were many types of Netherworld Demons, but the most powerful of them belonged to the “Asura” clan. They lived in the Netherworld Blood Sea and were extremely powerful. It was said that the ancestor of the Asura clan was a supreme power, no less powerful than Emperor Beiyin of Fengdu.
It seemed that this Netherworld Demon was from the Asura Clan!
“In the past, the invasion of the Netherworld Demons caused turmoil in the underworld, countless Yin spirits perished, and even Emperor Dongyue was reincarnated as a result… Now they have appeared in the mortal world, I’m afraid it will be a catastrophe.”
With this thought in mind, Xu Yang put away the “token” and dashed towards Da Xia in a flash!
This matter was of great importance, and Wang Hou must be informed as soon as possible!
