Blood Cicada Shell-Shedding Art
Back then, even when Qing Yin True Lord of the Vast Sea joined forces with several Half-Step Primordial Spirit realm cultivators to attack him, they were helpless against him and instead suffered a great loss under the Heavenly Demon Blood-Transforming Divine Blade.
Thinking of this, Nine Rivers Daoist said, "That Blood-Transforming Old Devil hasn't even started breaking through to the Primordial Spirit yet. Should we wait a little longer?"
"No need, just attack directly."
As the Jade Balance Star Lord spoke, he said to the nine True Lord beside him, "I would like to trouble my nine junior brothers to take action."
The nine True Lord nodded and each took out a dazzling Astral Treasure Pearl, each of which was actually Upper-Tier Spirit Treasure.
"Astral Starfire Demon-Refining Formation"
Chen Nianzhi's heart stirred slightly as she recognized the origin of these nine precious pearls.
This Astral Starfire Demon-Refining Formation is a Tier 6 array composed of nine Astral Treasure Pearl. When activated by nine Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivators, it can draw upon the power of the Nine-Heavens Stars, transforming it into Astral Heaven that falls down, capable of burning anything.
It is said that the power of this formation is barely enough to reach the threshold of the Primordial Spirit, and it is one of the core treasures of the Star Palace.
With the combined efforts of the nine, endless starlight poured down, transforming into magnificent starfire that bombarded the Blood Demon Cave, causing the entire Blood Demon Cave to tremble violently.
"Oh no!"
Inside the Blood Demon Cave, a dozen Nascent Soul Devil Cultivator, including the Desolate Old Devil, the Blazing Fire Old Devil, and the Fang Old Devil, were gathered together, all showing expressions of horror.
The Blazing Fire Old Devil looked at the crowd outside and said with a solemn expression, "They are people from the Star Palace. How could they have arrived so quickly?"
"Damn it, now that the Star Palace has made a move, there will definitely be Primordial Spirit Dao Lord blocking our way. We probably won't be able to hold them off for long."
The Nascent Soul Devil Cultivator present all showed expressions of fear, and some of them began to have second thoughts.
The Desolate Old Devil looked up at a man in the main hall and said with a solemn expression, "Brother Wang, what's wrong with the Blood Transformation Ancestor? Why has he been in seclusion for three years without any signs of breaking through to the Primordial Spirit?"
The demon surnamed Wang also looked grim. Logically speaking, the Blood-Transforming Old Devil had been in seclusion for several years, and even if he hadn't broken through to the Primordial Spirit Primordial Spirit by now, he should have shown signs of attempting to reach it. However, after so long, there had been no movement at all.
Even though he was the son of the Blood-Transforming Old Devil, he still felt something was off.
However, the Blood-Transforming Old Devil's reputation was too great, and even he dared not harbor any ill intentions, so he sneered and said:
"Breaking through to the Primordial Spirit stage is not something that can be accomplished overnight. My father has been planning this for many years, and now is the crucial moment. You just need to hold off those guys from the Star Palace."
Seeing that Wang Old Devil was still guarding the place, the demons were wary of the Blood-Transforming Old Devil's prestige, but they still gritted their teeth and urged their Demon Baleful Intent to resist the Astral Heaven Fire. However, they also had a vague idea of retreating.
The Astral Heaven fire descended from the Nine Heavens, relentlessly bombarding Blood Demon Cave Blood Demon Cave for a full half-day, eventually obliterating most of the demonic Demon Baleful Intent within.
Seeing that the Demon Baleful Intent was about to be broken, the Desolate Old Devil couldn't help but change his expression and said, "The Demon Baleful Intent is about to be overwhelmed, why is the Blood-Transforming Old Devil not guiding the Heaven Soul?"
Upon hearing this, everyone realized that something was amiss.
Logically speaking, by now, with the Heaven Soul being guided, even if the Desolate Old Devil wanted to break through, it would be too late. If he hasn't broken through yet, is the Blood-Transforming Old Devil just waiting to die?
"Oh no, we've been scammed!"
Suddenly, the Blazing Fire Old Devil's expression changed drastically. Ignoring the Wang Old Devil's obstruction, he cleaved open the Blood-Transforming Old Devil's secluded cave with a single palm strike.
But there was no sign of the Blood-Transforming Old Devil in the cave; only a blood-red cicada shell remained in place.
"The Blood Cicada Shell-Shedding Art"
"The Calamity-Substitution Dao-Forming Art"
A group of Nascent Soul Devil Cultivator' expressions changed drastically, and they all showed a hint of despair.
The Blood Cicada Shell-Shedding Art is an extremely profound and mysterious life-saving Great Divine Ability. When combined with the rare Blood Cicada, it allows one to instantly escape to hundreds of millions of miles away in the void, and even deceive the perception of Primordial Spirit Dao Lord.
The Calamity-Substitution Dao-Forming Art is an extremely vicious technique for substituting for tribulation.
The dozen or so Nascent Soul True Lord present, including the Blood-Transforming Old Devil's own Wang Old Devil, unexpectedly became the substitutes for the Blood-Transforming Old Devil.
If they take on the tribulations for the Blood-Transforming Old Devil, then the Blood-Transforming Old Devil can escape the calculations of Human Race cultivators, and most of the Human Tribulation will face when breaking through to the Nascent Primordial Spirit will be resolved, greatly increasing his chances of breaking through to the Primordial Spirit stage.
"So that's how it is. This Blood-Transforming Old Devil is incredibly ruthless; he even dared to use his own child to shield himself from calamity."
The Blazing Fire Old Devil and the others showed expressions of despair. They had gathered at the Blood Demon Cave, but they never expected that the Blood-Transforming Old Devil would be so ruthless as to scheme against them and even his own children.
Now that the Blood-Transforming Old Devil has shed his skin with the Blood Cicada technique, they are doomed to die when facing the Star Palace.
"Boom--"
The sky exploded with a deafening roar. Although the Demon Baleful Intent of the Blood Demon Cave was powerful, it was no match for the Astral Heaven Fire and the combined attacks of the group. In the end, it was forcibly torn apart.
Seeing their only barrier destroyed, the Nascent Soul demons could only flee in panic.
Where do you think you're going?
The Jade Balance Star Lord let out a cold laugh and unleashed a dazzling sword light, slashing down to block the Blazing Fire Old Devil.
Everyone immediately took action, surrounding the Devil Cultivator, and a great battle was about to break out.
Chen Nianzhi and Jiang Linglong charged directly at the Desolate Old Devil, their first move aimed at killing this formidable enemy. The tip of the Azure Abyss Sword was likely on the Desolate Old Devil's body, and naturally, he wanted to retrieve it.
Just then, the sky was filled with starlight, and a figure as dazzling as the Nine-Heavens Stars strolled over.
She wore a starry gauze dress, and there was a star-shaped Dao pattern between her brows. With her appearance, even the endless mountains and rivers were overshadowed by color.
It's her.
In just a moment, Chen Nianzhi understood the man's background.
This person was once the head of the Ten True Lord of the Eastern Wilderness, known as Fairy Tianxuan, the number one Heavenly Pivot Fairy Nascent Soul in the Eastern Wilderness, and is now Heavenly Jade Dao Lord.
At this moment, Heavenly Pivot Fairy frowned slightly, and with her delicate hand, she tore open the vast mountain range, and saw a blood cicada in the Blood Demon Cave.
"The Blood Cicada's Method of Shedding Its Shell"
"Is it the Blood God Monster?"
Heavenly Pivot Fairy's eyes turned cold, revealing boundless killing intent within her.
To perform the Blood Cicada Shedding Technique, one needs a Netherworld Blood Cicada as a medium.
The Netherworld Blood Cicada's true form is the Heavenly Mountain Snow Cicada, a priceless spiritual creature that can only be transformed into a Blood Cicada through a special Secret Method.
In the entire Purple Yin Realm, besides the Blood Demon Ancestor who was killed by Emperor Jiang, only the Blood Demon Ancestor's disciple Blood God Ancestor, knows this technique.
Only such supreme Demonic Path Secret Method could deceive the eyes of the Star Palace Star Palace and escape its surveillance and calculations.
"They actually let him escape."
Heavenly Pivot Fairy Tianxuan frowned, raised her hand and unleashed beams of starlight. Apart from a few Nascent Soul Late Stage like the Desolate Old Devil who barely managed to survive, the rest of the Devil Cultivator died suddenly.
Meanwhile, deep within a blood-red cave in the Eastern Wilderness, an old man clad in a black blood-red robe opened his eyes and let out a strange laugh.
"Hehehe, the Calamity-Substitution Dao-Forming Art Dao is complete, and my Dao is accomplished."
