Chapter 83: Chapter 83: Demon Flame Surging to the Sky

Blood Slaughter Demon Sect invades the Boundless Desert Sea Cultivation Realm!

When Blood Mo Luo, who claimed to be the thirty-eighth descendant of the Blood Slaughter Demon Sect, admitted this, all the cultivators of the Boundless Desert Sea Realm, including the Chen Family Ancestor and Zhang Yunpeng, felt a chill in their hearts, and everyone showed expressions of anger and concern.

Although unwilling to admit it, everyone knew that the strength of the Boundless Desert Sea Cultivation Realm was not on par with the Liuyun Continent Cultivation Realm.

The Blood Slaughter Demon Sect, once one of the three major demon sects of the Demon Dao, was so powerful during its peak that it made cultivators in the entire Liuyun Continent afraid of demons.

Such a powerful demon sect, even though its top cultivators have been wiped out and the sect’s cultivators have suffered heavy losses, the remaining ones still have the potential to heavily damage or even subvert the Boundless Desert Sea Cultivation Realm.

A camel skinny but still bigger than a horse, this saying is not just for show.

"This matter must immediately be reported to the two Golden Core Ancestors in the sect!"

Zhang Yunpeng understood the gravity of the situation and immediately transmitted the message to a Foundation Establishment Cultivator of the Yellow Sand Sect, instructing him to return to the sect to report the news.

After completing these tasks, he made a resolute decision, shouted loudly:

"Everyone, now is the time for Demon Extermination and Dao Protection, I, Zhang, on behalf of the sect, promise you all that anyone who kills a Early-Stage Foundation Establishment demonic cultivator will be awarded three thousand Yellow Sand Sect merit points, for a Mid-Stage Foundation Establishment demonic cultivator, you will receive five thousand, and for a Late-Stage Foundation Establishment demonic cultivator, you will earn eight thousand merit points. If anyone can kill a Ninth-Layer Foundation Establishment demonic cultivator, the sect will reward them directly with a Foundation Establishment Pill or ten thousand merit points!"

Hiss—

Hearing Zhang Yunpeng’s words, Zhouyang and other Foundation Establishment Cultivators couldn’t help but gasp, and their eyes immediately turned red.

Yellow Sand Sect’s merit points are indeed valuable, as long as one possesses enough, you can exchange them for treasures from the Yellow Sand Sect’s Treasure Vault, including the Foundation Establishment Pill!

However, the Yellow Sand Sect’s merit points can only be earned by completing sect tasks, and their transfer and trade have certain restrictions, making them very difficult to obtain.

For people like Zhouyang who are not originally from the Yellow Sand Sect, it was impossible to gain Yellow Sand Sect merit points, but since Zhang Yunpeng dared to speak under the Yellow Sand Sect’s name publicly, they could make an exception for today.

"Elder Zhang, do those refined corpses count for merit points?"

A Foundation Establishment Cultivator looked at Zhang Yunpeng eagerly and pointed to the Blood Evil Demon Corpse awakened by Blood Mo Luo, asking the question everyone, including Zhouyang, was concerned about.

"Yes, but merit points for killing refined corpses are halved!"

Since Zhang Yunpeng opened the opportunity, he would not say anything demoralizing at such a time, and he readily agreed.

Upon receiving this assurance, the Foundation Establishment Cultivator’s eyes gleamed brightly, and he righteously shouted: "With Elder Zhang’s promise, even if it costs us our lives today, we will destroy these demonic cultivators who dare to disturb our Boundless Desert Sea Cultivation Realm!"

"That’s right, demonic cultivators must be killed by everyone!"

"Acting for the Heaven, slaying demons and eliminating evil!"

"Let those who dare to underestimate our Boundless Desert Sea Cultivation Realm meet their fate today!"

Everyone was stirred up and motivated by the generous reward Zhang Yunpeng offered, even Zhouyang was no exception.

Demonic Cultivators invading the Boundless Desert Sea Cultivation Realm is something they cannot change, nor can they choose to join the demons due to this.

Now that the Yellow Sand Sect is willing to offer high rewards for the "just cause" of Demon Extermination and Dao Protection, it stands to reason that they should represent themselves, or else wouldn’t that indicate they feared the demonic cultivators?

"Great, with your assistance, victory is ours today!"

Zhang Yunpeng’s face lit up with joy, and he couldn’t help but loudly praise them, then he exchanged a glance with the Chen Family Ancestor and both of them acted at once.

Zhang Yunpeng shook the "Spirit Wind Banner" in his hand, and a cyan Wind Flood Dragon over ten meters long soared out from the flag, with claws outstretched, rushing toward Blood Mo Luo.

At the same time, the Chen Family Ancestor also tossed out a red flag, and with a snap of the spell, a Red Fire Flood Dragon over thirty meters long flew out from the flag, following close behind toward Blood Mo Luo.

Both the cyan and the Red Fire Flood Dragons exuded aura no less than any Tier Four Magic, any regular Purple Mansion Stage cultivator would have trouble defending against these attacks without taking damage.

Unfortunately, Blood Mo Luo was no ordinary Purple Mansion Cultivator, he was an old demon at the Ninth-Layer Purple Mansion, with demon cultivation even stronger than the Chen Family Ancestor and Zhang Yunpeng.

Seeing the two dragons coming, he merely smirked coldly, flicked his sleeve, and similarly revealed a banner spiritual artifact.

This was a blood-red Blood Banner that, upon appearance, filled the battlefield with a pungent bloody smell that nauseated everyone.

Meanwhile, the Blood Evil Demon Corpses awakened by Blood Mo Luo seemed invigorated like they’ve swallowed Ten-Complete Great Replenishing Pills and leapt towards Zhouyang and others in the air with fierce cries.

Though these Blood Evil Demon Corpses couldn’t fly, their jumping ability was exceedingly remarkable, or rather, disturbingly monstrous.

The Early-Stage Blood Evil Demon Corpses jumped over a hundred meters high, while several Late-Stage Blood Evil Demon Corpses could leap two to three hundred meters into the air, causing a crater on the ground upon landing like a cannonball.

What’s even more terrifying is that after falling from such a height, their bodies are not injured at all. Their physical defense is so strong that it rivals magical artifacts of the same tier!

"Tier Five Magical Artifact!"

Neither the Chen Family Ancestor nor Zhang Yunpeng paid attention to the battle between Foundation Establishment Cultivators. When the Blood Mo Luo revealed the Blood Banner in his hand, they were both startled and couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.

Once a magical artifact reaches Tier Five, its power is fundamentally different from Tier Four.

A Purple Mansion Cultivator, even a cultivator at the Ninth Layer of the Purple Mansion, cannot fully utilize the power of a Tier Five magical artifact.

However, a Ninth-Layer Purple Mansion Cultivator wielding a Tier Five magical artifact has combat power equivalent to half a Golden Core Cultivator. Against an early-stage Golden Core Cultivator without a Tier Five magical artifact, they can hold their ground for a while, not to mention dealing with same-tier Purple Mansion Cultivators without a Tier Five magical artifact.

Sure enough, as Zhang Yunpeng and the Chen Family Ancestor exclaimed, Blood Mo Luo was already shaking the Blood Banner in his hand, releasing a trace of the power of this Tier Five magical artifact.

With a flash of blood light from the Blood Banner, two beams of dim blood light swiftly swept towards the formidable Wind and Fire Double Flood Dragons.

As soon as the blood light swept over them, the Wind and Fire Double Flood Dragons let out a lamenting howl, their forms quickly dissolved by the blood light into nothingness.

Seeing this, the faces of the Purple Mansion Cultivators Zhang Yunpeng and the Chen Family Ancestor darkened extremely.

Although the previous attack was not their limit, their opponent was evidently more at ease. Winning this battle seemed very difficult for them.

However, no matter how difficult, they had to continue fighting. They couldn’t possibly back down just because the enemy revealed his methods, could they?

"Though the power of a Tier Five magical artifact is great, it also consumes a lot of magical power. Even with his Ninth-Layer Purple Mansion cultivation, he can’t use it many times. We must not be intimidated. If we join forces, with winds fueling the flames, we can surely match him in battle!"

The Chen Family Ancestor’s face remained somber as he looked at the confident Blood Mo Luo across from him, his lips subtly moving to encourage Zhang Yunpeng secretly.

Hearing this, Zhang Yunpeng’s expression shifted slightly as he secretly replied, "I have a Tier Four Top Grade Thunder Talisman. As long as you withstand his offensive, I’ll seize the opportunity to unleash it and break his demon art!"

"Good, since Brother Zhang is willing to go all out, I shall not hold back either. Though I don’t have a Thunder Talisman specifically to counter his demon art, I possess a Talisman Treasure capable of withstanding his Tier Five magical artifact!"

The Chen Family Ancestor gritted his teeth and revealed his trump card to Zhang Yunpeng.

The Talisman Treasure is a consumable special treasure crafted by a Golden Core Cultivator extracting the origin of a Tier Five magical artifact. Its power depends on the cultivation and amount of origin extracted by the original creator.

The Talisman Treasure in the Chen Family Ancestor’s hand was created by a Mid-Stage Golden Core Cultivator who extracted 30% of a Tier Five Middle Grade Artifact’s origin. When activated with his Late-Stage Purple Mansion cultivation, its power would certainly not be inferior to the Blood Banner in Blood Mo Luo’s hand.

After all, Blood Mo Luo is not a Golden Core Cultivator and cannot utilize the full power of a Tier Five magical artifact.

"Brother Chen, your righteousness is admirable. As long as we can slay this fiend, afterward, I’ll surely request the sect to compensate Brother Chen!"

Zhang Yunpeng’s eyes brightened, and he truly felt relieved.

Their secret communication took place in the blink of an eye. Once they finished, the two immediately sprang into action again.

The Chen Family Ancestor suddenly opened his mouth and spat out a ball of green-red flame. He then pinched a tactic with his hands, unleashing magical power onto the green-red flame, which rapidly expanded into a green-red firebird.

At the same time, Zhang Yunpeng shook the Spirit Wind Banner in his hand, conjuring a gust of azure wind to blow towards the green-red firebird.

Boom!

With the wind fueling the flames, the green-red firebird’s size instantly enlarged severalfold, transforming into a massive firebird with a wingspan of over ten meters.

Chirp!

The firebird emitted a clear cry as if it had a spiritual nature. With a flap of its wings, it turned into a beam of green-red firelight and charged at Blood Mo Luo.

The power this strike exuded faintly exceeded the range of Tier Four magic, showcasing the flair of Tier Five magic.

Seeing this scene, Blood Mo Luo, wielding the Blood Banner, also showed a trace of solemnity on his face.

He tossed the Blood Banner into the air, swiftly pinched a tactic, directing a trace of magical power into the Blood Banner. Instantly, a "lashing" sound of waves emerged from the surface of the banner, and a monstrous blood wave surged out from it, sweeping across the sky towards the approaching green-red firebird.

The blood wave soared, colliding with the green-red firebird in mid-air.

This time, the green-red firebird wasn’t immediately shattered like the previous two Flood Dragons; instead, it engaged in a battle of attrition with the monstrous blood wave.

One moment, the blood wave suppressed the green-red firebird, the next, flames erupted throughout the sky, and roaring flames rose from within the blood wave, burning it away and clearing the sky.

Both sides temporarily reached a stalemate.
