Powerful Yao and Mo

The Tianxuan Blood Demon's expression was grim as he looked at the thick, almost tangible fog before him. After a moment of hesitation, he gritted his teeth and formed a hand seal.

"Spirits and specters, nourished by essence, evil spirits disperse, the path to the underworld opens..."

As the incantation finished, the dense fog gradually dispersed, revealing a human-sized opening. Looking through it, one could see a boundless, gray expanse, eerily strange.

The Tianxuan Blood Demon, however, seemed familiar with the path. With a flash, he transformed into a streak of blood-red light and shot into the opening, disappearing in an instant. The fog slowly closed behind him, leaving no trace.

It felt as if he were walking the path to the Yellow Springs, the mournful cries of countless ghosts echoing in his ears. A chilling, profound coldness washed over him. The Tianxuan Blood Demon, flying rapidly through the dense fog, deeply inhaled the yin energy. His body pulsed with blood-red light, clearly finding it beneficial.

After flying for an unknown duration, the scene suddenly opened up. The fog dissipated, revealing an island spanning dozens of miles. The Tianxuan Blood Demon quickly descended, landing on the sandy shore.

The beach was crowded with strange creatures devouring each other, punctuated by beast-like roars that sent shivers down one's spine.

These bizarre creatures sensed the Tianxuan Blood Demon's presence and lunged at him, baring their fangs and claws. Among them, a massive python, easily ten feet long and as thick as a barrel, was the most ferocious. Its body was covered in scales like a crocodile's, and it possessed four claws, giving it a dragon-like appearance. However, instead of horns, it had a red fleshy crown on its head. Its gaping maw revealed rows of sharp teeth that flashed with blue light, capable of biting through steel.

Bang! Bang! The giant python swept aside several bizarre, horned, lion-like creatures blocking its path with a single sweep of its tail. It tore into them, blood splattering everywhere. The horned lions were ripped to shreds, their organs and intestines spilling onto the ground. The thick smell of blood stirred the predatory creatures on the beach, but they dared not approach to snatch the food, intimidated by the great python's might.

The Tianxuan Blood Demon observed the strange and ferocious creatures rushing towards him. There were beasts like oxen but without horns, creatures resembling monkeys with lifelike human faces, giant spiders covered in intricate patterns, ants larger than humans, and more. Amidst them, there were even vine-like things slowly moving.

"The Old Ancestor is about to recover his powers, even summoning the Corpse Eating Vines from the Demon Realm!" The Tianxuan Blood Demon paid no attention to the charging beasts, his mind occupied with other thoughts.

Seeing the giant python charging ahead, the Tianxuan Blood Demon pointed a finger. Thousands of thread-like blood-red strands wove together into a massive fishing net, ensnaring the great python. No matter how it struggled and shrieked, it couldn't break free.

Simultaneously, a powerful demonic aura emanated from the Tianxuan Blood Demon. These fierce beasts possessed intelligence. Seeing the great python suffer a setback, they hesitated. Now, with the Tianxuan Blood Demon displaying his formidable demonic aura, they all prostrated themselves on the ground, too afraid to move. The beach fell silent for a while.

"After all, they were modified and summoned by the Old Ancestor. I cannot harm them! It's fine if they devour each other, but I cannot act!" The Tianxuan Blood Demon walked step by step, respectfully, towards a massive, blood-red palace in the distance. The palace was built in the center of the island and, at first glance, resembled the headquarters of the Monster Alliance, only differing in color.

Along the way, not a single living person was seen, only countless strange, ferocious beasts. After walking for a full hour, the Tianxuan Blood Demon finally reached the blood-red palace. Gazing at the immense, blood-red, closed doors, he prostrated himself on the ground and shouted loudly, "Old Ancestor, Blood Demon Number One requests an audience!"

Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Chirp! Sharp, strange laughter echoed from the void, elusive and seeming to come from all directions at once, making it impossible to pinpoint the source.

"Enter!" The strange laughter continued for a moment before ceasing. A cloud of blood shot out from the gate, completely enveloping the Tianxuan Blood Demon and drawing him into the palace.

As the Tianxuan Blood Demon opened his eyes, he saw a young man standing in the center of the vast hall. He wore a golden-yellow Daoist robe and possessed a serene aura, devoid of any malevolent presence, a stark contrast to the island's surroundings. However, the two blood-red figures behind the young man were different. They exuded a thick scent of blood, and a chilling wind blew around them, but it was instantly dispelled by the young man's peaceful aura.

The Tianxuan Blood Demon, a Spirit Transmutation master with considerable experience, was shaken by the sight of the young man who lacked any demonic aura. He bowed again.

"Congratulations, Old Ancestor, on achieving supreme profound cultivation and uniting all the demon races! May our lineage once again grasp supreme authority in the world!"

"Haha! Number One, has the matter been handled?" The young man seemed pleased by the Tianxuan Blood Demon's flattery and asked with a chuckle.

"This! Old Ancestor..." Hearing the young man's question, the Tianxuan Blood Demon remained prostrate on the ground, trembling slightly.

"What! Could it be that the matter wasn't handled properly? You useless wretch!" Seeing the Tianxuan Blood Demon's state, the young man's expression changed. His originally peaceful and serene aura abruptly shifted, and an boundless killing intent erupted. With a thump, the Tianxuan Blood Demon was pressed flat against the ground by the immense pressure, like a dried-up toad, almost becoming a sheet of paper.

"Spare me, Old Ancestor! Listen to me! I had my reasons! I have important matters to report to you!" The Tianxuan Blood Demon cried out repeatedly, completely losing the composed demeanor he had in the Monster Alliance.

"Oh! What do you have to say, you useless wretch? You couldn't even handle this small matter. Let's see what you have to say. Just as I created you, I can also destroy you. If your answer displeases me, I will turn you back into a puddle of foul blood!" The young man retracted his killing intent, his aura returning to its peaceful state. He coldly warned the prostrate Tianxuan Blood Demon.

The Tianxuan Blood Demon quickly scrambled to his feet and hurriedly explained, "It's like this: I gathered some weak demons in the Central Plains and, under my manipulation, they formed the Monster Alliance. Gradually, they discovered that the item you seek is in the hands of the Enchanting Fox tribe. So, I used my methods to have the Enchanting Fox tribe join the Monster Alliance as well. Later, I openly became the Alliance Leader and demanded the Enchanting Fox tribe hand over the item. Just as it was about to be within my grasp, a young human cultivator ruined everything."
