Netherworld Blood Phoenix
The Great Qin Empire has several dangerous Forbidden Ground, infamous for their ferocity. Even Void Returning Stage powerhouses dare not approach them easily. These Forbidden Ground either possess terrifying and dangerous environments or are inhabited by extremely vicious Yaomo Ghosts and Monsters, making them unapproachable.
The Phoenix evokes the instinctive image of the Emperor of Ten Thousand Birds, a noble and elegant divine bird. However, in the Netherworld Blood Sea, the mere mention of the word "Phoenix" is enough to send shivers down one's spine. Why? Because a Phoenix, a Netherworld Blood Phoenix, resides within this Netherworld Blood Sea.
Legend has it that this Netherworld Blood Phoenix was formed from the Essence Blood of countless Yaomo Ghosts and Monsters in the world. It is inherently cruel and ferocious. Therefore, the Netherworld Blood Sea is a terrifying and dangerous place in the Great Qin Empire, and no one would normally be willing to come here.
But today, above the Netherworld Blood Sea, a figure is flying across the sky.
The Netherworld Blood Sea, spanning tens of thousands of miles, is named for its Scarlet waters, resembling fresh blood. Today, in this Netherworld Blood Sea where not even a single bird can be seen, a figure flashed by, emanating billowing Demonic Qi. Within this Netherworld Blood Sea, there was no attempt to conceal his aura whatsoever...
"Where did this ignorant brat come from, daring to fly above my Netherworld Blood Sea? He's courting death..." Suddenly, the Netherworld Blood Sea surged with waves and gusts of cold wind. Then, a sinister aura emerged, and a sharp voice echoed from within the Blood Sea.
A Phoenix, its body a deep crimson like blood, flew out from the Blood Sea. Though beautiful, its beauty was eerie, bearing no resemblance to purity or elegance.
"Demon Person from the Demon Realm has come to this place to ask Senior Blood Phoenix for a Phoenix Plume..." Having already revealed her demonic nature, Wu Xuefei exuded Human Heart Demonic Qi as she spoke to the Netherworld Blood Phoenix, her tone neither humble nor arrogant. Despite the significant difference in their cultivation levels, she did not feel inferior to her.
"Just kidding," Wu Xuefei thought. " In the Cultivation World, the ultimate goal is nothing more than to ascend to the Immortal and Demonic Realms. But Wu Xuefei comes from the Demon Realm. She's naturally superior." In her opinion, the fact that she didn't speak to the Netherworld Blood Phoenix condescendingly was already more than enough.
"A visitor from the Demon Realm?" Upon hearing Wu Xuefei's words, the Netherworld Blood Phoenix was indeed slightly taken aback, staring at Wu Xuefei in astonishment for a moment. No one would dare underestimate the identity of a visitor from the Demon Realm.
However, when the Netherworld Blood Phoenix looked Wu Xuefei over and saw that she was only at the Golden Core Stage Realm, it couldn't help but laugh out loud again, "Hahaha, a visitor from the Demon Realm? Your cultivation is only at the Golden Core Stage, you only possess Demonic True Body and Demon Heart, yet you dare to call yourself a person from the Demon Realm and deceive me?"
At this point, the Netherworld Blood Phoenix's voice suddenly turned cold, and it said in a chilling voice, "First of all, you deceived me by claiming to be a person from the Demon Realm. Secondly, you even tried to take advantage of my feathers. Do you really think that I, the Netherworld Blood Phoenix, am easy to fool? Today, I will drain all the Essence Blood from your body!"
"I advise you to obediently hand over the Phoenix Plume to me, otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite and forcibly taking it..." Hearing the Netherworld Blood Phoenix's impolite words, Wu Xuefei's voice also turned much colder, her charming tone carrying a bone-chilling coldness.
Normally, Wu Xuefei could accept being looked down upon, since she was posing as a human Cultivator. But now, having revealed her identity as Demon Realm, and yet the other party dared to despise her, it was an insult to the dignity of her Demon Realm. How could Wu Xuefei accept that?
His anger was palpable, and his expression turned grim, his tone filled with a strong sense of threat.
It's acceptable for a high-ranking official to be disrespected if he goes on an incognito visit, but it's unacceptable if he reveals his identity and is still disrespected. This is exactly the situation Wu Xuefei is in now.
"Hahaha, ignorance is bliss, very well, you have successfully enraged me." For the Netherworld Blood Phoenix, being threatened by a mere Golden Core Stage cultivator only fueled its fury. Its blood-red wings fluttered, and a storm of blood and gore swept through the Heaven and Earth, as if it were in a blood-soaked inferno.
"The demonic path is clear, protect my true spirit..." Wu Xuefei said in a solemn voice. As she spoke, a crack appeared between Heaven and Earth, slowly opening, as if the eyes of a giant god were slowly opening.
Although she transformed into human form and entered the Mortal World, Wu Xuefei was, after all, a person from the Demon Realm. At crucial moments, she was able to communicate with the Demonic Dao Will, which granted her protection. Her magnificent demonic power even surpassed that of the Netherworld Blood Phoenix.
Inside the Heavenly Dragon Town Evil Pagoda, dozens of Evil Demons, each comparable to Void Returning Stage expert, were focused entirely on Zhuge Xiang. They both hated and feared him. Only Cold Arrow King and his two Evil Demons were unaware of Zhuge Xiang's identity; in their minds, the master of this Evil Suppressing Pagoda must be the Strange King of Demon Hand Mountain...
"You don't need to look at me like that. I'll just ask you one question: Do you want to leave?" Despite being stared at by these Asura Kings, Zombie King, and even Void Returning Stage Demon Cultivator, Zhuge Xiang showed no fear whatsoever. He strolled leisurely to the center of the Eighth Layer of the Heavenly Dragon Town Evil Pagoda and spoke calmly.
The words, though seemingly casual, were like a thunderclap from a clear sky, plunging the Eighth Layer of the Heavenly Dragon Town Evil Pagoda into a deathly silence before erupting in a chorus of agreement.
"What did you say? You're willing to set us free!? Let me leave this damned pagoda?" The one-armed Zombie King stared wide-eyed at Zhuge Xiang and asked.
"Damn it, finally a chance to leave this place, hahaha..." the Evil Ghost chuckled, its sinister laughter filled with glee.
"Tell us quickly, what do you want in order to let us leave? We'll do anything we can," the Asura King asked urgently, his eyes fixed on Zhuge Xiang. They knew Zhuge Xiang wouldn't let them leave without a reason, but they were willing to do anything as long as they had the chance.
"I have a plan that requires your strength, so I need to select a few people from among you to help me. Regardless of whether the plan succeeds or fails, as long as it is completed, I will definitely set you free," Zhuge Xiang said, looking at these Yaomo Ghosts and Monsters and monsters.
"In that case, we will certainly serve you to the death!" Upon hearing Zhuge Xiang's words, he promised that regardless of victory or defeat, as long as his plan was completed, he would set them free. This promise filled the Yaomo Ghosts and Monsters with joy, and they cried out.
"How do you intend to select the strongest?" Asura King asked, staring intently at Zhuge Xiang.
These words silenced the Yaomo Ghosts and Monsters, who stared intently at Zhuge Xiang. He had only said that he would select a few people to help him carry out his plan, so those who wanted to gain freedom would have to pass Zhuge Xiang's test.
Looking at the appearance of these Yaomo Ghosts and Monsters, Zhuge Xiang had a faint smile on his lips. In this way, his plan would be considered a success.
By having these Yaomo Ghosts and Monsters and monsters fight alongside him, he can gain greater experience and at the same time select the strongest individuals to help him carry out his plan to overthrow the Great Qin Empire's Imperial Clan.
"It's very simple. Each of you can fight me individually. Even if you can only defeat me, and you've earned your qualification, if you can't even match my strength, then naturally I won't need your help," Zhuge Xiang said with a smile, looking at all the Yaomo Ghosts and Monsters and Yaomo Ghosts and Monsters. Before they could react, he pointed directly at the Great Strength King.
"Don't worry, I won't use the power of the Evil Suppressing Pagoda, nor will I use the Heavenly Demon Zen Sound. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a test of your strength..." Seeing that these Yaomo Ghosts and Monsters and monsters still had reservations, Zhuge Xiang directly reassured them.
"So it's you! Strange King!" Since the battle required his full strength, Zhuge Xiang naturally unleashed his Demon Body. With his Demon Body activated, the Great Strength King and the others immediately recognized Zhuge Xiang.
Having already been defeated by Zhuge Xiang, Great Strength King naturally went all out today, as he still had a chance to escape. Fortunately, Zhuge Xiang stated that he would not use the Heavenly Demon Zen Sound or the power of the Evil Suppressing Pagoda, giving Great Strength King and his companions a chance.
In the battle, dozens of Asura Kings, Zombie King, Evil Ghost King, and even Void Returning Stage Demon Cultivator were all eager to fight, lining up to take on Zhuge Xiang.
Although defeating Zhuge Xiang n't guarantee freedom, it at least means I have a chance.
Zhuge Xiang selects his battle targets in a very orderly manner, from the weakest to the strongest, one by one. As the battles continue, Zhuge Xiang's strength will continuously increase, naturally allowing him to challenge even stronger opponents...
Wu Xuefei, in the Netherworld Blood Sea, fought against the Netherworld Blood Phoenix for the Phoenix Feather. Zhuge Xiang, in order to improve his cultivation as quickly as possible and break through to the Void Returning Stage, also entered the Heavenly Dragon Town Evil Pagoda for seclusion, fighting against various powerful figures to improve his strength. At this time, Lu Yuling arrived at the Hidden Technique Forest of the Asura Sect...
Thousands upon thousands of stone tablets stand like a forest of stones, and each tablet is carved with a Cultivation Technique or combat Skill, truly living up to its name as the Hidden Technique Forest...
Upon arriving at the Hidden Technique Forest, as per the rules, Lu Yuling handed over the Ice Eye Skill. Then, without lingering, she purposefully proceeded to the stone tablet inscribed with the Heart Fighting Technique...
"What a beautiful senior sister..." Lu Yuling's beauty, beneath her aloofness, gave off an air of coldness and detachment, as if she were untouched by worldly affairs. In the Hidden Technique Forest, many disciples who saw Lu Yuling couldn't help but secretly admire her, even the women were no exception. Lu Yuling's beauty was truly flawless.
"Oh? Is that Lu Yuling, one of the two new disciples recruited by the Sect Master? Her cultivation is even more terrifying..." The Second Elder of Hidden Technique Forest stared at Lu Yuling and muttered to himself.
Zhuge Xiang's strength was evident in his slaying of the Myriad Flowers Elder a few days ago, making it known to everyone. Yet, Lu Yuling has quietly broken through to the Void Returning Stage. (To be continued...)
