Chapter 1120: Chapter 1118: Eighth Stage! The Demon Temple! (5 Updates)

Lin Bai looked up in amazement to find a giant finger crushing the void, materializing above the Seventh Stage of the sky!

"What is this thing...

"To possess such monstrous power!"

Lin Bai was incredibly shocked.

As this giant finger appeared and suddenly pressed down, its terrifying force poured down like the torrential flow of roaring rivers, sweeping across the entire area, leaving countless corpses of Demon Beasts and Corpse Control Bugs annihilated into ash!

After the Demon Beast corpses shattered, droplets of blood essence remained suspended midair, particularly catching Lin Bai’s attention!

Then, after the giant finger eradicated all the Demon Beast corpses within the Seventh Stage, it flicked, sending all the blood essence directly towards Lin Bai.

The Devouring Sword Spirit inside Lin Bai began to operate involuntarily, swallowing up all the incoming blood essence!

Lin Bai’s internal injuries started to heal rapidly, gradually returning to his peak condition!

At that moment, Lin Bai’s state also reversed.

From the early fourth layer of the Heavenly Elixir Realm, he broke through to the early fifth layer in an instant!

"The Fifth Layer of the Heavenly Elixir Realm!"

"My injuries are healed too?"

Lin Bai was overjoyed.

Just then, an ancient voice echoed beside Lin Bai’s ear, "My clan member, I am Qinghe of the Sky-swallowing Clan. Your cultivation is too low right now. It’s not suitable for you to entangle with them. After the Nine Stages, come and find me. I will only ensure your safety..."

After the voice spread, Lin Bai’s Divine Soul couldn’t help but shiver!

"The Sky-swallowing Clan! Qinghe?"

Lin Bai muttered in shock!

"No!"

"Senior from the Demon Clan..."

Long Hui and Fu Yuan cried out in pain on their faces when they saw all the corpses of the Demon Beasts turned to ash.

And then they saw all the Demonic Beast Blood being absorbed into Lin Bai’s body, simultaneously gathering their furious gazes upon him.

Feeling a chill all over under the angry stares of Long Hui and Fu Yuan!

Simultaneously, the Light Gate leading towards the Eighth Stage appeared in the sky.

"Long Hui, Fu Yuan, there will be times when we cross paths again!"

"You wait, I, Lin Bai, will come to settle today’s grudge with you properly!"

Lin Bai rose from the ground and with a turn of his figure, he headed straight for the Light Gate!

With a flash of his Flying Swords, Lin Bai instantly charged into the Eighth Stage.

"Boy, give me your life!"

"Thinking of running? Impossible to let you go!"

Long Hui and Fu Yuan, both figures flashed, heading towards the Eighth Stage!

After Lin Bai, Long Hui, and Fu Yuan had successively left the Seventh Stage, a large number of Warriors arrived at the Seventh Stage!

Among these warriors were the Purple-haired Man Liang Kun, Ke Han, Hua Yuxian, Sang Shuo, and others. They were surprised to find the Seventh Stage empty and directly entered the Eighth Stage!

...

The Eighth Stage!

Lin Bai passed through the Light Gate and appeared inside the Eighth Stage.

The Eighth Stage was shrouded in darkness.

In other words, it was night-time here, with the Bright Moon hanging high in the sky.

Lin Bai looked up at the Bright Moon and was surprised to find that this moon... was a Blood Moon!

Below the moon, Lin Bai saw an ancient temple perched on the highest Mountain Peak under the moonlight.

And at the same time, from the four directions of east, south, west, and north of this temple, there flowed four Blood Rivers toward the temple.

"Such a strange place!"

"Blood Moon, Blood Temple, Blood Rivers..."

"I finally understand where the blood of those Demon Beasts from the Seventh Stage went. It should be in the Eighth Stage."

Lin Bai’s Eyes flashed, and he surged forward rapidly, "Regardless, the transport gate of the Ninth Stage should be related to that blood-colored temple!"

"Time to see what’s happening here!"

Lin Bai, using his movement technique, rushed forward rapidly.

Soon after, Fu Yuan, Long Hui, Hua Yuxian, the Purple-haired Man, Sang Shuo, Lu Yang, and Ke Han also arrived one after another at the Eighth Stage. They all glimpsed the blood-colored temple and ran towards it without a second word.

As Lin Bai made his move, he saw in the distance below the Blood Temple, the Blood Rivers began to dramatically converge, with their blood content constantly rolling towards the heart of the Blood Temple!

"The Blood Rivers are converging into the Blood Temple?"

Lin Bai looked at the flow of the Blood River with surprise and his face slightly darkened.

Arriving at the foot of the Blood Temple, Lin Bai contemplated for a moment before his Flying Swords took the lead, zipping straight towards the temple. Only after confirming there were no dangers along the way did he follow up.

Before reaching the Blood Temple, Lin Bai saw within the temple four fierce and demonic Buddha statues...

These four demonic Buddhas each held Buddhist Beads in their left hand and a blood knife in their right!

It seemed to mean compassion in the left hand, punishment in the right!

The four demonic Buddha statues stood stationed in four directions, and in their center was an Alchemy Furnace. Countless rivers of blood from the Blood River converged there, absorbed into the furnace!

"Is this for alchemy?"

Lin Bai didn’t dare get too close, watching the four demonic Buddhas and the furnace between them from afar, he remarked placidly.

"With blood for alchemy, with souls for soul refinement..."

"Blood nourishes the Elixir, souls solidify the Daoist Law..."

"On the day the Elixir is complete, even heaven and earth may be exchanged..."

"On the day the Elixir is complete, even sun and moon may vanish..."

A series of strange voices carried over.

The voices sounded like they were chanting, almost like reciting a scripture!

"The Elixir is not yet complete, slay men for their blood..."

"The Elixir is not yet complete, slay Demon Beasts for their blood..."

"Slay men for their blood..., slay Demon Beasts for their blood..."

"Slay men for their blood..., slay Demon Beasts for their blood..."

"Slay men for their blood..., slay Demon Beasts for their blood..."

"..."

Suddenly, the voice underwent a bizarre change, repeating the phrases "slay men for their blood" and "slay Demon Beasts for their blood" over and over.

Lin Bai watched the furnace with intrigue, now able to smell the faint yet enticing fragrance of the elixir emanating from within: "It seems this Elixir Pill is just a bit shy of being fully concocted!"

"Does it need more blood?"

Lin Bai narrowed his eyes!

Just then, other Warriors and members of the Demon Clan also arrived at this place one after another!

Among them were the Purple-haired Man, Hua Yuxian, Sang Shuo, Lu Yang, Fu Yuan, Long Hui, and Ke Han.

Upon arriving, even though Fu Yuan and Long Hui noticed Lin Bai, they didn’t rush to take action. Instead, they were drawn to the four demonic Buddhas and the Alchemy Furnace.

"What kind of Elixir Pills are being concocted?" Long Hui exclaimed in surprise.

"I don’t know, but I feel like this Elixir Pill is incredibly powerful. Once it’s complete, it might possess the power to defy the heavens!" Fu Yuan said, his voice filled with fright and his eyes blazing with fervor!

The Purple-haired Man also revealed a trace of longing in his eyes: "So it’s just a little bit away from being completed?

Sang Shuo also commented: "Seems like it’s just missing a little bit..."

Hua Yuxian squinted thoughtfully: "How much is it lacking?"

All the Warriors who had come here shared one question in their hearts.

What kind of Elixir Pills were these that bore such a heaven-defying fragrance?

It was just a little short of being ready, so how much more was needed?

"Slay men for their blood..., slay Demon Beasts for their blood..."

"On the day the Elixir is complete, heaven and earth may be exchanged..."

"On the day the Elixir is complete, sun and moon may vanish..."

"On the day the Elixir is complete, the moment of Ascension..."

This strange chanting voice continuously echoed within the Blood Temple!

The Purple-haired Man’s eyes suddenly brightened, and turning to the surrounding Warriors, he said in a cold tone, "Ladies and gentlemen, have you all heard? ’Slay men for their blood, slay Demon Beasts for their blood...’ On the day the Elixir is complete, the moment of Ascension!"

"It seems that in order for this Divine Elixir to come into the world, a bit more fresh blood from everyone present is needed..."

The Purple-haired Man looked maliciously at the Warriors around him!

In Long Hui’s eyes, too, a glow of blood appeared: "I was just thinking the same! I wonder who will volunteer their blood first?"

Whoosh—

Upon hearing the words of the Purple-haired Man and Long Hui, silence fell upon all the Warriors gathered there!

Even Lin Bai’s face revealed a trace of indifference!

There were a total of eight people present, including Lin Bai.

Among these eight, a palpable intent to kill began to accrue and spread...
