Xue Ming was still howling, but not from his own wounds. He howled because he had let Wang Daoyuan go.
The blood within him continuously flowed down along the Yinglong Demon Slaying Sword, staining half the mountain peak crimson.
Wang Daoyuan released Yinglong, intending to swallow Xue Ming's corpse and burn it to death with the Annihilation Divine Flame.
Suddenly, an eerie red light shot out from the blood Xue Ming had spilled.
Even Yinglong froze for a moment before hastily retreating and voluntarily diving into Wang Daoyuan's Sea of Consciousness.
Seeing this, Wang Daoyuan knew something had definitely gone wrong.
His entire body turned into a streak of light as he fled into the distance.
The eerie bloody radiance flew into the sky, gathering into a sea of bloodlight.
A terrifying aura rose from that sea of bloodlight, shaking Wang Daoyuan to the depths of his soul.
His heart pounded violently in his chest, as though it might burst at any moment.
A great amount of blood rushed into his head, making it feel swollen and bloated.
His thoughts seemed to have been frozen in ice, and even thinking became extraordinarily sluggish.
This terrifying aura was not unfamiliar to him. Back in Heavenly Demon Valley, he had encountered precisely the same aura.
At that time, the surviving members of the Devil Race had set up the Nine Luminaries Heavenly Demon Array in order to break the formation around Heavenly Demon Valley, summoning a Heavenly Demon phantom and a wisp of Heavenly Demon aura.
Relying on that wisp of Heavenly Demon aura, they had broken the formation sealing Heavenly Demon Valley.
The horrifying aura emanating from this sea of bloodlight was exactly the same as the aura within the Nine Luminaries Heavenly Demon Array back then, differing only in strength.
