Chapter 1774: The Disaster of the Blood Snakes

Black rain of world-ending destruction poured down from the cracks in the sky, shrouding the entire Eastern Region of Outer Shenzhou.

Fortunately, the Ancient Divine Ruins Demon-Sinking Array activated at this very moment.

Across this vast and boundless continent of Outer Shenzhou, in countless kingdoms and territories, immense radiance shot up into the heavens, and within that radiance, ancient flags were forged one after another.

These flags emitted great power, protecting countless kingdoms and living beings, and holding back that world-ending black rain outside.

Outside the capital of Great Xia.

Countless fearful gazes watched the figure of a Demon God walking out of the black rain; its figure was roughly ten-plus zhang tall, possessing a delicate and handsome face, with blood-snake earrings slowly writhing at its earlobes, and behind it, nine blood snakes like blood tails, their crimson snake eyes cold and cruel, staring at the living beings of this world.

The Nine-Snake Great Demon King!

When this terrifying existence appeared in the Eastern Region of Outer Shenzhou, the surging energy between heaven and earth seemed to fall into dead silence, and endless fear, like wild grass, climbed out from the deepest depths of the hearts of countless living beings in the Eastern Region of Outer Shenzhou.

It had clearly done nothing yet, but the aura of destruction already filled every corner of the Eastern Region of Outer Shenzhou.

At this moment, all living beings in the Eastern Region of Outer Shenzhou truly and vividly felt death approaching.

Even Li Luo's face became extremely Solemn at this time; the figure behind him with nine slowly swaying blood snakes also brought him an extremely heavy sense of pressure.

This was the pressure coming from the Divine Fruit Great Demon King!

Although he had now forged four positional grades as a top-tier Li Li Tianwang, and was only one step away from nurturing a Divine Fruit, that step had ultimately not yet been taken.

And as Li Luo gazed at that Demon God figure, the latter raised its head, revealing crimson snake eyes, and a gentle smile appeared on its delicate and handsome face.

Then it took a step.

In an instant, everyone within the Great Xia City smelled a thick blood scent rushing toward them.

And Lu Qing'er, Zhen Lingshuang, Pang Pang Qianyuan, Seeing Yu Lang, and others all had their expressions change drastically, because they saw that the Demon God figure had now crossed a vast distance in space and appeared directly before Li Luo.

The distance between the two was merely one meter.

Hiss! Hiss!

The nine blood snakes behind the Nine-Snake Great Demon King spat out scarlet snake tongues, their eyes revealing a chilling coldness that made one's hair stand on end, staring at Li Luo who was right in front of them.

"Does the Outer Shenzhou world intend to have a Li Li Tianwang who has forged four positional grades like you block me? Is this underestimating me, or overestimating you?" the Nine-Snake Great Demon King asked with interest.

Li Luo's eyes reflected the Nine-Snake Great Demon King; the opponent was the most terrifying enemy he had ever confronted. In his perception, beneath the opponent's delicate and handsome appearance, there seemed to be a world-ending blood snake with nine heads, endless destruction, endless blood, and that intense evil positional grade, strong enough to make even ordinary Li Li Tianwang feel fear, was sufficient to turn a region of heaven and earth into a dead zone.

However, even facing such a terrifying existence, Li Luo's expression remained calm, because the youth of the past was now the guardian deity of the Eastern Region of Outer Shenzhou.

The survival or destruction of countless living beings in this Outer Shenzhou rested on his shoulders.

"I have cultivated for less than forty years; all the enemies I have met in the past were of higher ranks than me, but the one who ultimately won was always me, so I believe this time will be no exception."

Li Luo spoke calmly, and at the same time, the void behind him trembled violently; the Ten Thousand Aspects Wheel seemed to pierce through from ancient time and space, slowly rotating in the void behind him, where six Aspect Palaces shone dazzlingly like the sun, and twelve forces of Aspect Nature filled it like a vast ocean, constantly intersecting and evolving into various mysterious scenes.

An unprecedented pressure was released, also filling the sky above the entire Eastern Region of Outer Shenzhou.

Slightly diluting the sense of fear brought by the Nine-Snake Great Demon King.

"The Ten Thousand Aspects Seed passed down from the Formless Saint Sect? The same path as that Sect Master who once brought a destructive threat to my Dark World."

The Nine-Snake Great Demon King looked at that ancient Ten Thousand Aspects Wheel, and the careless smile on its face slightly faded; at the same time, the nine world-ending blood snakes behind it slowly straightened their bodies, a sign that they sensed some kind of threat.

"No wonder you were given a heavy mission to block me before nurturing a Divine Fruit; there are indeed some praiseworthy aspects." the Nine-Snake Great Demon King said slowly.

"However, in the face of true Divine Fruit power, your past proud achievements might appear very ridiculous."

Amidst the fearful gazes of countless people in the Great Xia capital, the Nine-Snake Great Demon King sat cross-legged in mid-air; the nine blood snakes behind it spat out scarlet blood light, which transformed into a crimson chessboard before the two of them.

Li Luo looked at this crimson chessboard, his eyes slightly narrowing, because in his eyes, this was not a chessboard, but a reflection of the entire Eastern Region of Outer Shenzhou.

Within it, there were more than a million bright light points, and each light point represented a city full of vitality.

This was a miniature of the Eastern Region of Outer Shenzhou.

"You want to protect the living beings of this Eastern Region of Outer Shenzhou?"

The Nine-Snake Great Demon King smiled and said, "Then I will insist on exterminating all the living beings of this Outer Shenzhou right in front of you; I want to see what ability you have to save them."

The gentle words contained ruthlessness and coldness that caused heaven and earth to change color.

As the words fell, the Nine-Snake Great Demon King extended a finger, thrust it into its own eye socket, and then gently twisted, digging out one of its own crimson eyeballs.

It played with the bloody eyeball in its fingers, and the empty eye socket was terrifying.

"If you want to defend this Eastern Region of Outer Shenzhou, then show me your skills."

The Nine-Snake Great Demon King's smile became even brighter; immediately, the crimson eyeball in its hand slowly rose into the air, constantly expanding, and in just over ten breaths, it had transformed into a huge crimson full moon, hovering above the Eastern Region of Outer Shenzhou.

At this moment, the living beings in the Eastern Region of Outer Shenzhou could all see a crimson moon that had suddenly appeared in the sky.

The crimson moonlight poured down, shining on every corner of the Eastern Region of Outer Shenzhou.

That moonlight was extremely strange, as if shining from a non-existent time and space; even though the cities in the Eastern Region of Outer Shenzhou were now protected by the "Ancient Divine Ruins Demon-Sinking Array," that moonlight still quietly seeped in, falling upon all living beings.

A cold feeling surged in the hearts of countless living beings.

And just as intense unease arose in their hearts, they suddenly felt a stinging pain coming from their own flesh and blood; the next moment, countless living beings, whether human or beast, as long as they were formed of flesh and blood, were horrified to see their own flesh and blood suddenly tear open, and as blood flowed, a blood snake drilled out from their flesh and blood.

The blood snake let out a cold hiss, and as soon as it emerged, it began to gnaw on other parts of the flesh.

This sudden change instantly plunged the Eastern Region of Outer Shenzhou into panic.

Countless people struck out to shatter the blood snakes emerging from their flesh and blood, but as the blade light swept across, even if the blood snakes were severed, they instantly drilled out from other parts of the flesh and blood; even if the arm or limb where the blood snake grew was cut off, a new blood snake would emerge from other flesh and blood.

Moreover, it was not just ordinary living beings who were helpless.

Even some Wang Realm experts began to fearfully discover that strange objects were wriggling within their flesh and blood, and gradually, a strange blood snake drilled out from their flesh and blood.

No matter what methods they used, they could not stop the appearance of that strange blood snake.

All living beings in the Eastern Region of Outer Shenzhou could only watch in terror as the blood snakes drilling out of their flesh and blood constantly gnawed on their own flesh and blood, then rapidly grew stronger.

Moreover, as time passed, they discovered that one blood snake after another began to constantly drill out from their flesh and blood.

Inside the Great Xia capital, there was also chaos and wailing.

Only Li Luo, Lu Qing'er, and Zhen Lingshuang, the three Li Li Tianwang, were unaffected.

Lu Qing'er's expression was cold; she struck out first, and vast frost descended from the sky, turning the land and sky over millions of miles into an icy realm; she released the Ice positional grade, freezing all those blood snakes.

But as that crimson moon in the sky became even more eerie, the blood snakes actually broke free from Lu Qing'er's Ice positional grade's freezing and continued to drill out.

The Nine-Snake Great Demon King paid no heed to Lu Qing'er's attack, merely fixing his gaze on Li Luo and smiling as he said, "This is the 'Nine-Snake Curse,' formed from the divine fruit's rank. I have cast this curse over this Outer Shenzhou; blood snakes will continuously breed within the flesh and blood of those living beings. When the number of blood snakes reaches nine, their minds will be devoured, and they will become snake nests constantly breeding blood snakes."

"You say..."

"Is this scene not utterly despairing?"

"And you, besides watching them die in the most painful way with your own eyes, what else can you do?"

His smile, falling into the eyes of countless people, was like a world-destroying demon crawling out from the deepest depths of hell, instilling fear and despair.

This is the Divine Fruit Great Demon King.

With a single strike, he turned a vast and boundless Outer Shenzhou into a human hell.
