Blood filled the heavens and earth.
Regardless of the thick-skinned, self-proclaimed indestructible Rhinoceros Great Demon.
It was still that same Movement Method, elusive Green Wolf, known for his unpredictable movements.
Or perhaps it's the Jade-Faced Fox Venerable, most skilled at bewitching and seducing...
And Golden Eagle lying on the ground, half-dead.
Whether it's the Yin Mountain Demon Venerable or the Yang Mountain Demon Venerable.
At this moment, all beings are equal.
Before the terror had fully spread through the Rhinoceros Great Demon's copper bell-like eyes, his vision was already spinning.
Before the blood could even gush out, it was violently blasted into a cloud of blood mist by the ensuing burst of energy.
Next came the Green Wolf and the Jade-Faced.
"No--!!!"
A piercing scream was abruptly cut short.
The Green Wolf Demon Venerable, along with his steel-needle-like blue fur, completely melted away in the red light, turning into a pile of minced flesh.
As for that Jade-Faced Demon Venerable...
This fox demon, who was usually the most cunning and protective of her reputation, died the most gruesome death.
Its several thick, dark fox tails instantly vaporized the moment they touched the halberd's edge.
His delicate and handsome face instantly twisted and shattered under the overwhelming divine might.
Even the Golden Eagle Demon Venerable, who had just been smashed into the ground and whose fate was unknown, shattered.
It only took a breath.
One halberd.
Four great Mountain-Viewing Great Demon.
The ink ran dry.
The halberd's edge exploded, transforming into countless tiny starlight fragments.
Rumble--!!!
The aftershocks had not yet subsided, and the earth trembled.
The once deep canyon was now completely leveled by this single halberd strike, leaving several meters wide.
The dust and smoke dissipated.
Suddenly, the world fell silent.
Only the blood-red rain fell softly and steadily.
Jiang Yuechu held the halberd and slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.
His chest rose and fell slightly.
As the energy subsided, the ferocious dragon horns and scales slowly disappeared beneath its flesh.
Although this strike seemed effortless.
But only she knew that in that instant, both the physical strain and the various methods and Divine Ability she used had reached their limits.
Fortunately.
The result was fairly pleasing.
Jiang Yuechu narrowed her eyes slightly, listening to the prompts in her mind.
[Slaying a creature from the Mountain-Viewing Realm grants 42,300 years of Dao Cultivation.]
[Slaying creatures in the Mountain-Viewing Realm grants 45,100 years of Dao Cultivation.]
[Slaying a creature from the Mountain-Viewing Realm grants 41,900 years of Dao Cultivation.]
[Slaying creatures in the Mountain-Viewing Realm grants 43,600 years of Dao Cultivation.]
170,000.
Adding to the remaining 28,000 years.
now.
Her Dao Cultivation level is already approaching 200,000!
They've struck it rich.
They really struck it rich.
She took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the urge to burst into laughter.
no.
You must maintain a proper posture.
After all, there were outsiders present.
Jiang Yuechu slowly raised her hand, her slender fingers pointing towards the mess on the ground.
boom--!!!
The lingering, powerful essence of the four great Mountain-Viewing Great Demon instantly transformed into four surging torrents, which she swallowed whole.
Deep within the Qi Sea ).
Under such terrifying nourishment, the majestic, dark red mountain roared once more.
The mountain rises higher and higher.
Until...
An even more powerful and domineering aura swept out from her body, blasting away all the surrounding blood rain.
Mountain-Viewing...
Mid-field!
The distance to the Later Realm is not much different.
Jiang Yuechu smiled slightly.
Only after she finished doing all this did she seem to remember that there was someone else beside her.
He slowly turned around, his gaze sweeping over the four figures standing frozen in the distance.
"..."
The Horizontal Blade in Lu Qinghou's hand had fallen to the ground at some point.
The old man in purple robes stared wide-eyed, his face filled with bewilderment.
As for Gu Wanlan and that Green-Robed Elder, they weren't much better off.
The four people looked at each other in bewilderment.
They both sensed a deep sense of helplessness in each other's eyes.
Is this... it's over?
Just moments ago, the four of them were prepared to die, ready to trade their lives for one another to hold off these four Demon Venerable.
He even drafted his last words in his mind.
But what was the result?
The little girl suddenly appeared out of nowhere and started hitting him all over the place.
It all happened in just a few breaths!?
A deep sense of frustration arose spontaneously.
They are all seniors who have been Mountain-Viewing for many years.
At this moment, standing in front of the girl, he actually looked... like a greenhorn who had just enlisted?
He died.
They're all dead.
It was dark and viscous, like ink.
A pair of eyes that had been closed for a hundred years suddenly opened.
Above the lake of the heart.
The life-soul threads representing the Great Demon under his command, in that instant...
Breakage.
Breakage.
It broke again.
" Jade-Faced... Green Wolf..."
"They're all dead..."
"How... how did he die?!"
The final roar, no longer suppressed, echoed wildly in the cramped, dark depths of the well.
If it were Bai Yulou who made the move, or even if it were the Lamp-Lighting Martial Saint who made the move...
Without resorting to methods like igniting the Heart Lamp, it would have been impossible to kill all these Great Demon so easily in such a short time.
"Heh... hehe..."
Planning for hundreds of years.
He endured for hundreds of years.
Unexpectedly.
The chessboard was kicked over.
Deep at the bottom of the well.
A tiny, purplish flame suddenly ignited between his brows.
It's not just human Martial Saint who possess such desperate methods; having cultivated the body of a Demon Saint, how could they lack the courage to perish together with their enemies?
Above the secluded valley.
Bai Yulou slowly straightened his back, which had been hunched over for so long.
He simply lowered his head quietly, looking at the land beneath his feet.
The ground, which had been calm, suddenly began to tremble slightly.
"Well..."
The old man sighed softly.
His withered hand gently patted the iron sword at his waist that had not been drawn for a long time.
"In the end... it still came to this."
Before he could finish speaking...
boom--!!!
A purplish-black beam of light burst through the ground without warning, piercing straight into the sky.
That moment.
The world lost its color.
The billowing purple qi, like smoke from a wolf's beacon, instantly dyed the entire sky of clouds a strange, purplish-black.
At the center of that pillar of light.
The seal has been broken.
A tall, slender figure stood with his hands behind his back, slowly rising into the air.
Her face was alluring, with a purple flame mark between her brows that was still slowly pulsating.
He stood barefoot, treading on the void.
The Great Sage Huiyue ignored the Bai Yulou below, merely turning his head slightly.
Considering the previous Silver Bone and Red Scale...
Of the eight Mountain-Viewing that survived back then, more than half are now dead!
The rage, enough to burn away the flames of the three rivers and five lakes, surged within my heart.
The Great Sage Huiyue withdrew his gaze and landed on the hunched old man in front of him.
Even if the opponent is also at the Lamp-Lighting Realm, even if one is besieged by two Lamp-Lighting Realm experts...
But how could I not come out!?
Those were his only eight Demon Venerable!
Only by taking the other's life can the hatred in my heart be relieved.
Zheng--
A clear, resonant sword cry suddenly rang out in the secluded valley.
There was no cold light flowing across the blade, only the mottled rust left by the erosion of time.
Bai Yulou held an iron sword, pointing it at the Demon Saint in mid-air.
The old man remained calm and advised, "Don't leave... Although we've known each other for a long time through spirit, we've never met face to face like this. Now that we're out, how can we not catch up?"
"..."
" Bai Yulou, I know you only have one last chance to Lamp-Lighting."
Huiyue took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the impulse in her heart, and patiently persuaded, "I only want that person's life! As long as that person is killed, I will immediately swear that I will never set foot in the Great Tang Dynasty again!"
This was the biggest concession he could make.
One life for the peace of a nation.
However.
The old man below gently shook his head.
Actually... you guessed wrong back then.
Huiyue frowned. "What?"
Bai Yulou did not answer directly, but instead raised his other hand and gently stroked the iron sword that had been his companion throughout his life.
The fingertips grazed the rough blade, producing a faint tremor.
"Everyone says that I'm keeping this Lamp-Lighting one last time to prolong my life, to extend the Great Tang for a few more years..."
"You even think that the reason I've been suppressing you so painstakingly is simply to help my good-for-nothing disciple grow up so that he can take my place in the future... As long as you don't push me too hard, I won't be willing to use the Lamp-Lighting one last time."
At this point, Bai Yulou raised his head, a trace of nostalgia flashing in his cloudy old eyes.
"In my life, I've seen far too many people pass away."
" Master is gone, fellow disciples are gone, even some of the younger generation who followed behind me have all passed away before me."
"Gu is a promising young girl, so young. She shouldn't be like this old man, sitting here in the deep mountains and forests, guarding one place..."
" Our Master once said, 'The torch is passed down from generation to generation, never ceasing.'"
"But after living for hundreds of years, I've suddenly come to understand a truth."
"Actually... there's nothing left for future generations to replicate."
"Everything that my generation has borne, what we have clung to, and what we regret..."
"They should all end with me."
Huiyue's pupils contracted sharply, and a strong sense of alarm rose in her heart.
"You..."
Bai Yulou slowly closed his eyes.
He murmured softly, his voice booming like a great bell, resounding throughout heaven and earth.
"Burn my mangled body, raging flames!"
What joy is there in living, and what sorrow in dying?
"To do good and eliminate evil, only for the sake of light."
Joy and sorrow, all return to dust.
With the sound of chanting.
A tiny spark ignited between the old man's brows.
Immediately afterwards.
boom--!!!
The flames spread to his entire body.
This fire is no ordinary Lamp-Lighting.
He was a Martial Saint of his generation, with an indomitable will to defy the heavens and claim his life.
Dry skin regained its plumpness, and a full head of white hair turned jet black at a visible speed.
An extremely terrifying aura, even surpassing that of the Demon Saint, swept out from the flames.
Huiyue's face turned ashen, and she retreated rapidly.
He hadn't expected the old man to be so resolute.
They left no room for negotiation, resorting to this suicidal tactic right from the start.
The flames died down.
A tall, handsome middle-aged man emerged from the ashes.
The rust on the sword had long since fallen off under the tempering of the inner fire, revealing its sharp edge as cold as autumn water.
He glanced one last time at the north, at the direction of Chang'an.
immediately.
He turned around, his sword pointing to the sky.
Rumble--!!!
A pillar of light, piercing the heavens and the earth, rose from Luling, illuminating the night sky over half of West Jiangnan Circuit.
Within that pillar of light.
A man held a sword, his hair and beard standing on end.
Its sound was like a resounding bell, echoing throughout the universe.
" Bai Yulou, Commander-in-Chief the Demon Suppression Bureau Division of the Great Tang Dynasty."
"Today..."
"Let my broken body become a raging fire!"
"Please summon the Demon Saint..."
"Go to your death!!!"
