Chapter 581: Blood Magic, Ten Thousand Bloods Return to the Flow

Even Guisha Laozu, who practices the evil path, could not help but retreat a few steps at this moment.

"What... what are these things?" Shuiyun Xianzi asked with a trembling voice. She felt as if she were facing Death itself; the fear from the depths of her soul made it almost impossible for her to think.

After seeing the attire of these figures clearly, Xingchenzi's face turned deathly pale in an instant: "Blood Evil Sect! How are these evil demons still alive?"

His exclamation spread across the entire battlefield, and everyone felt a profound shock. The Blood Evil Sect was one of the most evil sects in the history of the Cultivation World, having been wiped out by the combined forces of the righteous path a thousand years ago. The techniques they practiced were extremely wicked; they refined Dharma Artifacts with living people and created puppets with living souls, making them existences loathed by both man and god.

"Wasn't the Blood Evil Sect wiped out long ago?" Taixuan Laozu's voice carried a trace of trembling, "How could there still be remnants?"

The leading Blood Evil Sect Elder slowly raised his head, revealing a face as withered as a skull beneath his hood. His eye sockets were deeply sunken, and within them flickered blood-red flames, devoid of any human emotion, possessing only hatred for life and a craving for blood.

"Hehehe... I didn't expect that after a thousand years, there would still be people who remember the name of our Blood Evil Sect." His voice was like the wailing of a fierce ghost emerging from a grave, and every word made one's heart turn cold, "We did indeed die, but for us, death was merely another way of cultivation."

"Dead yet not extinguished... what kind of evil magic are you practicing?" Jianchi Laozu gripped his Long Sword, but the blade was trembling slightly. He could feel the terrifying power within these Blood Evil Sect remnants; it was an evil existence that had transcended the boundaries of life and death.

"Brat, return the Blood Wheel to us, and we shall spare your life!" The Blood Evil Sect Elder did not answer Jianchi Laozu's question, but instead cast his gaze toward Yunxiaozi, who held the Blood Disk, "That is the sacred artifact of our Blood Evil Sect; it is not something a half-baked amateur like you can control."

Upon hearing this, Yunxiaozi sneered disdainfully: "Just because of you thousand-year-old ghosts? This Blood Wheel is mine now! If anyone wants it, come and take it!"

Although he spoke lightly, he felt immense pressure in his heart. These Blood Evil Sect remnants felt more dangerous to him than any other enemy; that ancient and pure evil made him, a novice who had just entered the demonic path, feel deeply wary.

"Since you are unappreciative, don't blame us for being impolite." The Blood Evil Sect Elder smiled grimly, "Having not seen the sun for a thousand years, your fresh blood will serve perfectly to commemorate our rebirth."

"Blood Magic—Ten Thousand Bloods Return to the Flow!"

Following a low shout from the Blood Evil Sect Elder, the other remnants began to cast their spells simultaneously. Their bodies began to emit a thick blood-colored light, and these lights converged to form a massive blood-colored Dharma Array.

In the center of the Dharma Array appeared a bottomless pool of blood, in which viscous blood churned. Even more terrifying, countless blood-colored tentacles extended from the pool, spreading in all directions like the tentacles of an octopus, attempting to drag all living people into it.

"Everyone, be careful! Do not let those tentacles touch you!" Lin Xuan warned loudly. He could feel the terrifying suction on those tentacles; once grabbed, he feared not even bones would be left.

Facing such an attack, Yunxiaozi dared not be careless. He immediately manipulated the Blood Disk to launch a counterattack against the Blood Evil Sect members: "Blood Magic—Ten Thousand Demons Devour the Heavens!"

Countless blood-red demonic shadows surged from the disk, colliding with those blood-colored tentacles. However, to everyone's shock, the strength of these Blood Evil Sect remnants was unexpectedly powerful, and the Blood Magic Yunxiaozi prided himself on appeared insignificant before them.

Those blood-colored tentacles easily tore the demonic shadows to shreds and continued to spread toward Yunxiaozi. Seeing the situation was dire, Yunxiaozi hurriedly retreated, but the speed of those tentacles was extremely fast, and in the blink of an eye, they were about to surround him.

"Damn it!" Yunxiaozi gritted his teeth and began to burn his own life essence, attempting to trigger the maximum power of the Blood Disk.

At the same time, blood clouds gathered over Qinglong Peak, and the sky turned a bizarre blood-red. Under the shroud of the blood clouds, the entire world seemed to have become a corner of hell. More blood-colored tentacles extended from the ground, attacking everyone present regardless of friend or foe.

"This is troublesome," Taixuan Laozu said, his heart sinking as he looked at the situation, "The original opposition between righteous and evil has turned into a three-way melee."

It was indeed as he said; the current battlefield had fallen into complete chaos. The Blood Evil Sect remnants, Yunxiaozi, the traditional forces, and the Reform Alliance—four forces were slaughtering each other, and no one knew what the final outcome would be.

"Master, what should we do?" Shuiyun Xianzi asked Xingchenzi for help while dodging the attacks of the blood-colored tentacles.

"Preserving our lives is the priority!" Although Xingchenzi was severely injured, he still erupted with astonishing combat power at this life-or-death moment, "These Blood Evil Sect demons are too terrifying; we must find a way to unite with others to deal with them!"

Xiao Yuan felt the terrifying evil aura on these Blood Evil Sect cultivators and knew that the situation had exceeded everyone's expectations. If this problem were not solved quickly, not only would the Reform Alliance be destroyed, but the entire Cultivation World would fall into an abyss from which there is no return.

"No, I cannot let this happen!" Xiao Yuan gritted her teeth and began to circulate the Compassionate Harmony Dao, "Since Master Huiming entrusted me with the heavy responsibility of purifying evil, I must never let these demons bring disaster to the Human Realm!"

Pale golden light radiated from her body once again, but this time, she was not facing ordinary evil, but the purest evil accumulated over a thousand years. Even the purifying power of the Compassionate Harmony Dao appeared inadequate in the face of this level of evil.

"Hehehe... little girl, your power is indeed not bad, but you are still too green before us." The Blood Evil Sect Elder noticed Xiao Yuan's presence, and a trace of greed flashed in his eyes, "Such pure power will serve perfectly as nourishment for our resurrection."

With a wave of his hand, several blood-colored tentacles immediately attacked Xiao Yuan. These tentacles were extremely fast and carried corrosive, evil power; even Xiao Yuan's protective light barrier developed cracks the moment it made contact.

"Xiao Yuan!" Lin Xuan was shocked to see this and immediately rushed over to help, but his path was blocked by other tentacles.

Just as Xiao Yuan was about to be grabbed by the tentacles, a sword light suddenly descended from the sky, severing those tentacles.

"Miss Xiao Yuan, I have come to assist you!" Jianchi Laozu stood with his sword, blocking the path in front of Xiao Yuan, "These demons are the enemies of all righteous cultivators; we should join forces to deal with them!"

"Senior Jianchi..." Xiao Yuan looked at him with gratitude.

"No need for thanks; when faced with matters of great right and wrong, personal grievances can be set aside," Jianchi Laozu said firmly, "The most important thing now is to protect the Cultivation World from being destroyed by these demons."
