"Puff--!"
With his natal Magic Treasure's power broken, Zhenyuanzi, whose mind was connected to his, was struck as if by lightning. He suddenly spat out a mouthful of golden-red Essence Blood, and his face instantly turned ashen!
The Earth Book let out a mournful cry, its light dimmed, and even a tiny crack appeared on its pages!
"No!!!"
Zhenyuanzi widened in horror, and his mind trembled. He never expected that his ultimate killing move, which he had unleashed after breaking through to the Mid-Quasi-Saint and fully activating the <Earth Book>, would be so easily broken by Minghe's strange Yin-Yang combined attack technique!
The backlash caused him excruciating pain in his primordial spirit and disrupted his Magic Power.
The moment he lost his composure, Minghe's attack followed like a persistent leech!
"Old man Zhenyuan, your death is near!? A boundless Blood Sea awaits your burial!?"
Minghe grinned maliciously and clasped his hands together.
The Yin-Yang Annihilation Divine Light shattered the sacred mountain still had considerable momentum and pierced straight at Zhenyuanzi's body!
At the same time, the already raging boundless Blood Sea below seemed to receive a command, raising a massive wall of Blood Waves hundreds of millions of feet high, which condensed into hundreds of millions of ferocious blood demons, bone spikes, and chains of vengeful spirits, swarming in from all directions, wanting to completely devour Zhenyuanzi and bury him in the endless abyss of the Blood Sea!
That filthy, corrosive power is enough to corrupt even Quasi-Sage's physical body and primordial spirit!
The aftershocks of the Yin-Yang Annihilation Divine Light, carrying the Chaos Qi that disintegrates all things, tore apart the last remaining fragment of the Xuan Huang barrier in front of Zhenyuanzi and pierced straight into his chest!
That hazy beam of light, seemingly insignificant, contained a terrifying threat that could freeze even Zhenyuanzi's soul.
At the same time, the raging Blood Sea below, hundreds of millions of feet deep, had already closed in, and countless blood demons formed from viscous, foul blood opened their fangs and jaws.
The stark white bone spikes gleamed with the cold light of annihilation, and the chains binding countless wailing and resentful souls wove a net that swept in from all directions with terrifying power to corrupt the primordial spirit, corrode the Dao Foundation, and annihilate everything!
The aura of death was icy and bone-chilling, a thousand times more intense than the coldest depths of the Blood Sea!
"Roar--!!!"
Zhenyuanzi's eyes were bloodshot, and he let out a desperate roar like a trapped beast.
He could clearly sense the mournful cries emanating from the Earth Book and the glaring crack. The excruciating pain that felt like his primordial spirit was being torn apart and the chaotic Magic Power made it almost impossible for him to concentrate his Spiritual Sense.
But the Dao Cultivation and survival instincts built up over millions of years were fully unleashed at this moment!
"You want to bury our ancestor? Minghe! You won't succeed!"
Zhenyuanzi's face twisted, contorted like a demon. He suddenly spat out another mouthful of Essence Blood, even more concentrated than before, golden-red with a hint of dark purple!
This mouthful of essence blood contained his life essence and a portion of his Great Dao foundation from his Mid-Quasi-Saint, at an immense cost!
The essence blood transformed into a stream of light, instantly disappearing into the dimmed <Earth Book>.
"Buzz--Click!"
The Earth Book let out a mournful cry, its pages seemingly widening slightly, but then its dim light suddenly burst forth with a final, intense, and dazzling Xuan Huang light, like a last burst of light before its death!
This supreme book, which connects to the Primordial Wilderness earth's veins, unleashed its potential beyond limits under the frenzied stimulation of its master, who burned his Essence Blood.
"Earth's veins reversed! All mountains returned to nothingness! Escape!?"
Zhenyuanzi's hoarse voice was like a bone-chilling wind.
He gripped the Earth Book tightly with both hands, and fine beads of blood were spurting from every pore of his body—a sign that his Magic Power and his very essence were operating at an overload.
The Earth Book trembled violently, and the Xuan Huang light flowing on it no longer focused on defense or attack. Instead, it transformed into countless twisted rays of light, frantically plunging into the raging sea of the Blood Sea below and penetrating even deeper into the omnipresent network of earth veins in the Primordial Earth!
Rumble!!!
The earth's veins on the western edge of the entire Primordial Wilderness seemed to be violently stirred up by an invisible giant hand!
Centered on the Netherworld Sea of Blood, the mountains and earth within a radius of hundreds of millions of miles trembled violently.
Countless underground spiritual veins were forcibly reversed and their power extracted!
This violent, reckless force of the earth's veins did not attack the Minghe, but instead instantly enveloped Zhenyuanzi himself!
Just as the aftershocks of the Yin-Yang Annihilation Divine Light were about to pierce his chest, and the blood-red cage was about to completely close and devour him—
Zhenyuanzi's figure, along with the "Earth Book" whose light flickered and whose cracks were glaring, suddenly transformed into a Xuan Huang stream of light that was extremely dim and almost merged into the origin of the earth's veins!
The light was faint, yet its speed was unbelievably fast, as if ignoring the barriers of space, and frantically fleeing backward along the forcibly reversed and torn network of earth veins!
Pfft!
The aftershocks of the Yin-Yang Annihilation Divine Light still managed to strike a portion of that escaping light.
The Xuan Huang light trembled violently, dimming even further, and a muffled groan, suppressed to the extreme, could be faintly heard.
Immediately afterwards, billions of the Blood Sea demons and bone-spiked chains crashed into the spot where Zhenyuanzi had just been standing, unleashing a devastating energy surge that completely annihilated that space into a murky void. Chaos Qi poured back in, forming a massive, long-unhealed void!
"Hmm? Bloodthirst Release: Life-Burning Escape Technique? They're quite willing to use it!"
Standing atop the towering Blood Waves, Minghe watched the dim light almost disappear into the depths of the earth's veins. A hint of surprise flashed in his blood-red pupils, quickly replaced by icy mockery. He did not pursue; instead, with a gentle wave of his hand, the Profound Yin Gourd and the Pure Yang Gourd spun back into his sleeve.
The attack just now also consumed a great deal of energy; forcibly fusing the Yin and Yang Annihilation Divine Light was no easy feat.
Zhenyuanzi burned his Essence Blood, sparing no effort to severely damage the foundation of the Earth Book, and unleashed the Earth Vein Burning Life Escape Technique. The speed was indeed at its limit. The old demon, who had lived for hundreds of millions of years, naturally understood the principle of not pursuing a cornered enemy.
Moreover, the objective has already been achieved.
"Zhenyuanzi! Today I'm severing your Dao Foundation source of power, consider it interest!"
Go back to your Wuzhuang Temple and cling to that broken tree, barely clinging to life!
"Next time I come, I'll make sure you're utterly annihilated, body and soul, and forever imprisoned in the Blood Sea!"
The Minghe's voice, icy cold and filled with endless killing intent and contempt, was like a million blood needles, piercing through layers of space and stabbing fiercely into the fleeing Xuan Huang light.
Above the Blood Sea, the figure of the Minghe appeared even taller and more arrogant against the backdrop of the crimson mist and shattered space.
The violent energy gradually subsided, but the Blood Sea, which had been turned upside down, continued to boil. The enormous spatial void slowly repaired itself, and Chaos Qi raged.
In this battle, the edge of the Blood Sea Territory was shattered, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was in chaos, and the dark and gloomy scene lingered for a long time, as if recording the end of this fierce battle Mid-Quasi-Saint - ending with the absolute suppression of the Ancestor Minghe and the serious injury and defeat of Zhenyuanzi.
On the summit of Qilin Mountain in the far west.
Just as the Ancestral Witch Houtu was concentrating on sensing the inexplicable pulling force, the baleful energy crystal in her sleeve suddenly erupted with unprecedented heat and a violent buzzing!
It felt as if I had been struck hard by some kind of originating yet extremely violent force!
