Chapter 471: Ten Thousand Year Blood Grudge Curse-Evil Sand, Where I, Qian Chen, Am, There Is Heaven

After the gray-haired middle-aged man finished that sentence, his emotions gradually subsided, and he returned to the cold and indifferent demeanor of the Demonic Path.

He slapped the magic treasure pouch at his waist, and a pitch-black long banner instantly appeared in his hand. Painted upon this banner were all sorts of ugly and ferocious demons, each with wide, strange eyes, grinding their teeth and lolling their tongues, as if roaring and alive.

These demon lords had each suffered cruel tortures—beheading, waist-chopping, long nails piercing their bodies, skinning, and bone-extraction. Filthy blood flowed from their bodies, gathering into a sea of blood!

The moment this great banner appeared, hundreds upon hundreds of faces emerged upon it, each revealing various expressions of hideous pain, screaming madly.

He looked up at Qian Chen, his cold gaze filled with an indescribable cruelty. He waved the great banner, and his figure instantly vanished from behind it, leaving only countless overlapping, blurred blood shadows appearing behind the banner where he had stood.

Immediately, thousands upon thousands of blood shadows rushed out from the location of the old demon, and every hundred blood shadows would wrap around a banner.

Those countless banners fluttered up and down, appearing and disappearing, following the blood shadows that filled the sky and covered the earth, blanketing this small world where the Seven Star Lamp was located.

Qian Chen rubbed his chin, looking at the unpredictable banners, and shook his head: "Impressive! Once the Blood Gods exceed ten thousand, they are boundless and extremely troublesome. They can even form a Blood Sea Great Array on their own, summoning the Yu Yu Jiuyou Blood Sea to manifest!"

"In the Blood Sea, the Blood Gods are immortal and indestructible. Unless one has a very rare anti-magic treasure to restrain them, they are almost invincible!"

Sima Yan heard this and sneered behind him: "You are quite well-versed in the supernatural powers of the Demonic Path!"

"Just average!"

Qian Chen admitted frankly: "However, his Blood Gods have not yet reached full maturity. The blood shadows he produced are both real and illusory, numbering no more than three thousand six hundred! He still needs the Blood Gods to hold the banners to set up the demonic array. Observing the patterns of this array, it should only be one of the side branches of the Blood Sea Great Asura Demonic Array—the Blood Sea Dust-Confusing Array!"

From the blood shadows that filled the sky outside the stone platform, a sharp shriek came: "To think you even know of the Blood Sea Dust-Confusing Array! Could it be that this generation's true successor of the Profound Heaven Sect has actually read the 'Blood Sea Demonic Scripture'?"

"I know a little!" Qian Chen explained: "The Blood Sea Demonic Array was created by the Blood Sea Demon Ancestor based on the Yu Yu Jiuyou Blood Sea. Once the complete Blood Sea Demonic Array is set up, it is as if the Yu Yu Jiuyou Blood Sea has appeared in the world. However, the various changes and eerie phenomena within the Blood Sea can also exist independently as arrays."

"This Blood Sea Dust-Confusing Array is one of the changes of the poisonous sandstorms that often blow within the Yu Yu Jiuyou Blood Sea. After the array is set up, besides summoning the Yu Yu Jiuyou blood mist to corrode spiritual sense and conceal the Blood Gods, there are also thirty-six types of Yu Yu Jiuyou poisonous sands that can erode souls, rot bones, confuse spirits, shake souls, pierce intestines, and dissolve blood..."

The countless blood shadows fell silent.

The dense mass of blood shadows swirled around the Kaiyang stone platform where Qian Chen was, like a blood-colored storm.

Thirty-six demonic banners had already been set up in all directions. Wisps of blood mist were spat out from the mouths of the demons on the banners, slowly obscuring the surroundings.

Qian Chen stood at the eye of the blood-colored storm, as if the entire world were drowning him.

"You certainly know quite a lot!"

"The secrets of the Blood Sea Demonic Array are not even studied by many true successors of the Blood Sea Path. If you could still manifest your Blood Demon True Body and remain unaffected by this Blood Sea Demonic Array, that would truly give me a shock!"

Qian Chen thought to himself: "If I hadn't sealed my demonic body in the Demon Cave, the Blood Demon True Body I could pull out would be even bigger than yours!"

"Give me a shock... Heh!"

The old demon of the Blood Sea Path saw that he no longer answered. Not knowing if he felt a sense of relief, he felt very smug and sneered: "Otherwise, you might as well obediently accept your death!"

Qian Chen raised the Zhurong Blood Blade, tucked the Supreme Eight Scenery Furnace into his sleeve, and quipped: "How about we consider the matter of the Blood Sea Path's Holy Son instead?"

"Too late!"

The old demon's blood shadow waved the array flag, and the blood mist in the four directions surged violently, rolling toward the Kaiyang stone platform like a tide. Within the blood mist, streaks of yellow sand swirled in, and the dense spiritual light of the Kaiyang stone platform's seals was eroded and collapsed the moment it touched them.

"Ten Thousand Year Blood Grudge Curse-Evil Sand!"

The yellow sand fell in a flurry, surrounding Qian Chen completely, drilling into his body like living things.

Sima Yan, standing not far away, accidentally touched a wisp of it, and the six pure yang dragon qi protecting his body visibly developed black spots. His soul body seemed to face the bone-deep curses of countless people, causing Sima Yan to lose focus for a moment. He immediately circulated his magic power to refine those black spots, then dodged the yellow sand as if avoiding a plague.

He felt an added layer of wariness toward the old demon of the Blood Sea Path; clearly, Qian Chen's previous words were not without effect.

Curse-Evil Sand is one of the most common poisonous sands in the Yu Yu Jiuyou Blood Sea! Legend has it that it is formed from the souls that fall into the Yu Yu Jiuyou. If they do not forget their hatred before death and fall into reincarnation while carrying resentment, the curses they utter before their souls dissipate fall into the Blood Sea.

Over time, they accumulate and transform into this sand.

This sand is formed from the spiritual curses and grievances of hundreds of millions of people, and it is also the best carrier for curses in the world!

The black and white light on Qian Chen's body rotated into a Taiji, and the Curse-Evil poisonous sand surging toward him was ground down by the Taiji diagram into tiny specks of pure wish-power.

Wave after wave of cursing and resentment surged into Qian Chen's sea of consciousness like a tide. To be pointed at by a thousand fingers and die without illness—such was the situation. But no matter how fierce these curses were, they never managed to shake the spiritual light of the Dao Dust Bead by even half a point!

Under the cover of the blood mist, a blood shadow had already pounced in front of Qian Chen.

Qian Chen grew alert. The Zhurong Blood Blade in his hand pulled out a blade light, and the demon god with wings on its back and stepping on a red dragon manifested again within the blade light, slicing the formless and intangible blood shadow—whose only essence was a line of blood light—into two segments.

The blood-colored blade light spat and swallowed the blood light, refining it instantly!

A muffled groan came from within the blood mist. The Heavenly Demon Blood-Transforming Ancient Shendao was, after all, created by the Yu Yu Jiuyou Demon Ancestor observing the true form of the Blood Sea, and it was the blade technique that most restrained the Blood Sea Path.

Except for a very few anti-magic supernatural powers like the Doushuai True Fire and the Solar Burning-Extinction Divine Light...

There are few supernatural powers that can refine Blood Gods so easily...

But the Blood Gods pouncing from the blood mist were not just one; hundreds upon thousands of them permeated the area. Countless blood shadows crisscrossed and intertwined. Qian Chen brandished the Thunder-Light Electric Lock, transforming it into a single-horned Thunder Qiu to protect himself, while simultaneously brandishing his blade light to kill the approaching Blood Gods one after another. But in less than three breaths, the blood light filling the sky had defiled the single-horned Thunder Qiu.

A pale yellow silk ribbon stained with blood fell to the ground and was collected by Qian Chen with a wave of his sleeve. He swung his blade light, transforming it into a river of blood to surround himself.

But the dense mass of Blood Gods still exceeded the range that the Heavenly Demon Blood-Transforming Ancient Shendao could kill.

Dozens of Blood Gods merged into a single blood shadow and forcibly crossed the river of blood. At this moment, Qian Chen opened his great sleeve, and the Supreme Eight Scenery Furnace within it opened its furnace mouth, swallowing that thick streak of blood light in one go.

Now, the Karma Fire Red Lotus had sealed the Immortal Daoist, the Profound Yellow Ruyi, the Heaven-Net Umbrella, and the Magnetic Light Bottle had been given to his clone, the Great Saint Dasheng Dasheng Leiyin Zither was broken, the remaining magic treasures like the Dragon Sparrow Ring could not withstand the defilement of the blood light, the Taiji Diagram had to grind down the curses of the Curse-Evil Divine Sand, and the Blood God—this evil object—did not enter the Five Elements and was not restrained by the Five-Colored Divine Light...

Qian Chen also had to guard against Sima Yan behind him!

His thoughts raced, seizing every breath and flaw. For a moment, Qian Chen was exhausted, and a few wisps of cold sweat seeped from his forehead!

In a flash, Qian Chen already had a response.

He reversed his Heavenly Demon Blood-Transforming Ancient Shendao, the blade qi traversing a river of blood, and slashed a blade toward Sima Yan behind him, while simultaneously reaching back to pull out the Self-Attachment Blade from the zither's belly.

The blade light was like ice, carrying a chill that froze everything, sweeping away and forcibly carving a thunder sound out of the infinite blood mist!

Ice Soul Divine Thunder swept out!

The blade light changed, freezing the countless Blood Gods within the blood mist together, turning them into fluttering blood-colored ice shards!

"Ice Soul Ancient Shendao! Cold Light Transforming into Thunder! This is the method of the Guanghan Palace!" A roar came from the old demon in the blood mist: "The Profound Heaven Sect, Guanghan Palace, Yu Yu Jiuyou Path, and even the methods of my Blood Sea Path—who exactly are you?"

Facing the line of blade light and blood river coming toward him, Sima Yan did not retreat but advanced, revealing a sneer. The six remaining pure yang dragon qi on his body gathered, and with a wave of his hand, six dragons roared.

The dragon qi submitted under his palm. Following a dragon roar, three strands of dragon qi broke through the Heavenly Demon Blood-Transforming Ancient Shendao, and the other three strands of dragon qi slammed directly into Qian Chen's back. A patch of five-colored brilliance emerged, forcibly taking the blow.

"Five-Colored Divine Light!" the person in the blood mist whispered.

Qian Chen endured the vibration in his internal organs and also sneered: "Subduing Dragons and Taming Tigers!"

Sima Yan had surprisingly also used the pure yang dragon qi to cultivate another of the Thirty-Six Great Supernatural Powers of the Yuan Yuan Tiangang. Although it was only the 'Subduing Dragons' part and not yet 'Taming Tigers', it belonged to the minor success stage.

But this supernatural power possessed heaven-toppling strength. A strand of magic power was like the movement of a dragon vein, almost having the power to move mountains and overturn seas. The Five-Colored Divine Light could not fully protect him, causing Qian Chen's physical body to be injured. He had to circulate his Innate Yin-Yang Qi to barely mend his physical body so that it would not collapse.

The Ice Soul Divine Thunder's opportunity dissipated, shattering a patch of blood mist and finally allowing the spiritual energy a space to flow.

Qian Chen gripped his five fingers in the void, and a patch of electric light emerged from the void. As his internal five qi surged, rolling thunder sounds came from his organs. Within that line of gap where the spiritual energy flowed, thunder energy gathered.

In an instant, five streaks of thunder light emerged from Qian Chen's five fingers—following the Qian-Origin Divine Thunder of the thumb, the Five Elements Divine Thunder of the index finger, the Primordial Divine Thunder of the middle finger, the Two-Instruments Divine Thunder of the ring finger, plus the Great Might Divine Thunder wrapped around the little finger, he gripped them into a claw, and the five thunders gathered in his palm!

A streak of ignorant thunder light, like the purple of the primordial chaos, burst forth.

"Purple Heaven Heavenly Mansion Thunder!"

Qian Chen mastered the five thunders and slashed out an electric light like a tiny thunder snake.

This electric light, the thickness of a little finger, carried the power to destroy heaven and earth. After leaving Qian Chen's palm, the thunder light instantly permeated, spreading from the tiny thunder branches. By the time it reached outside the stone platform, it was already streaks of thunder dragons baring fangs and brandishing claws, instantly shattering the blood mist...

Under the thunder light's tribulation-destruction, the Blood Gods in the mist were entangled by streaks of Purple Heaven Divine Thunder, sizzling continuously, and then the blood shadows collapsed and vanished into fly ash!

"The Shenxiao Sect's Mastering the Five Thunders! Who exactly are you?" the old demon in the blood mist roared in fury.

This streak of Purple Heaven Divine Thunder failed to tear apart the already set-up Blood Sea Dust-Confusing Array, but it did tear a huge wound within the array.

Five-Colored Divine Light, Subduing Dragons and Taming Tigers, Mastering the Five Thunders...

In just a few breaths, three of the Thirty-Six Great Supernatural Powers of the Yuan Yuan Tiangang had appeared. If it weren't for the fact that Demonic Path supernatural powers do not enter the Yuan Yuan Tiangang, the Blood Sea Demonic Array could also be called a Great Supernatural Power!

Qian Chen swallowed a mouthful of blood. Just now, the Blood Sea Demonic Array had suppressed the clear spiritual qi, and there was insufficient spiritual energy in heaven and earth. He had to use his internal five qi to link the Five-Colored Divine Light to rub within his organs, internally circulating thunder energy to form the five thunders.

This had again shaken his organs and aggravated his injuries.

Don't look at how he forced back the Blood Gods and slashed Sima Yan; both were only temporarily at a disadvantage, their foundations undamaged. They could still take hundreds of such supernatural blade qi, but Qian Chen no longer had the strength to contend with both simultaneously.

Unless he risked his life, there was not a shred of chance of winning.

But if Qian Chen were to self-detonate his Jin Dan to risk his life, he might as well directly abandon himself to the Demonic Path, seize the dominance of the Blood Sea Demonic Array from the old demon of the Blood Sea Path, and use the magic of the Heavenly Demon Seizing Foundation to re-cultivate the Blood Demon True Body!

Those two Golden Cores of his were still embryos of true Core Formation—Yin-Yang Five Elements. If he did it again, there wouldn't be another Peacock King to perfect his Dao foundation!

"Fortunately, I was prepared!" Qian Chen merged his Ice Soul Ancient Shendao and Heavenly Demon Blood-Transforming Ancient Shendao, swung the two long blades, and slashed down repeatedly. The Ice Soul cold qi temporarily froze Sima Yan behind him.

The river of blood transformed from the blade qi obscured Qian Chen's figure.

He flipped his right hand, took out the replica artifact Tengkong Sword, shook the Luo Tian Immortal Talisman within it, and no longer caring about face, gave a low shout: "Zhu Jiuyin, save me!"

The aura of the God-Sacrificing Platform slowly rotated, and deep within these layers of worlds, a spatial rift was suddenly opened.

Qian Chen's figure flashed, and he vanished from where he stood! ===== CHAPTER 472 =====
