Chapter 1580 : Bloodfiend Defilement Art
With the loss of the Primordial Ancient Dragon as his ally, the Demon Lord's heart grew increasingly somber.
With a flick of his sleeve, he unfurled the 10 1000 Demons Ancient Bell, using this supreme Taiyi demonic treasure to shield himself. Then, he activated his innate divine ability, manifesting countless rays of slaughter that descended like a torrential downpour.
"Beware, this is the 10 1000 Calamities Demonic Light."
Witnessing the endless demonic radiance descending upon them, Immortal Xuanyu (Person Name) warned the others with an expression of utmost gravity, then summoned a divine stellar technique to shield herself.
Eldrin also summoned the Primordial Chaos True Aura, firmly shielding Yan Ziqi and the others behind him as he withstood the Demon Lord’s full-force strike.
At that very instant, the void trembled violently as a blindingly brilliant radiance erupted. The Triple Demon Soul-Severing Sword Formation shuddered abruptly before being completely shattered—forcibly torn apart in 1 decisive blow.
But then, Daoist Zixuan, the Liyan Deity, and the Vajra Arhat each suppressed a radiant demonic sword and charged out from the formation.
"Ha ha ha!"
Watching the 3 of them break through the formation, Immortal Xuanyu (Person Name) felt a slight sense of relief in his heart, then laughed heartily and said, "Fiend, what other tricks do you have left now?"
The Demon Lord's heart sank slightly at the sight.
His 3 Fiends Slaying Immortals Sword Formation was hailed as undefeatable except by 3 Great Unity Golden Immortals, yet it ultimately failed to withstand the assault of 3 powerful Half-Step Celestial Immortals.
The Violet Heaven Divine Thunder of Patriarch Zi Xuan, the Southern Bright Blazing Fire of the Flame Deity Li Yan, and even the Buddhist divine abilities of the Vajra Arhats all proved highly effective in countering the demonic treasures.
The 3 of them joined forces, not only shattering the Tri-Fiend Soul-Devouring Array but also suppressing the 3 Heaven-Sundering Treasures.
Seeing the situation turning dire, the Demon Lord knew in his heart that the tide had turned against him. Surrounded by his assailants, he realized that continuing the fight would likely lead to his defeat.
With this thought, the Demon Lord shielded himself with the Myriad Demons Bell and prepared to flee into the void. Yet in that very instant, he felt the void congeal and seal, rendering even him incapable of tearing through it.
"Not good!"
The Demon Lord's heart sank. In the vast dimensional void, a resplendent ancient mirror slowly rotated, its powerful spatial energy sealing the entire expanse of nothingness.
The power of the 4-Rune Heaven-Splitting Supreme Treasure truly far exceeded his expectations, actually making it difficult for the Demon Lord at this moment to escape in a short time.
Even more astonishingly, the Yin-Yang Void Mirror erupted with a dazzling radiance of Primordial Magnetic Void Light, firmly locking down his 10,000 Demons Bell (Magic Treasure).
This Myriad Demon Bell was a supreme immortal weapon of the ultimate demonic path, forged entirely from 9 Nether Demon Gold. It could be considered an indestructible treasure for personal protection, yet precisely because of this, it was countered by the Yin-Yang Void Realm.
"Open for me."
Seeing the Myriad Demons Bell being suppressed, the Demon Lord immediately mustered all his power, striving to break it free.
Yet how could the crowd simply allow him to depart like this? In an instant, they launched successive attacks. 1 after another, Grand Primordial immortal weapons—the Kui Thunder Drum, the Myriad Tribulation Sword of the Primordial Thunder Abyss, the Stellar River Sword of the 9 Heavens, the Great Gold War Halberd—swept forth in a devastating assault.
In the blink of an eye, the Demon Lord was sent flying, blood spraying from his wounds. Before he could even catch his breath, he realized the Myriad Demons Bell had already been seized.
At this critical juncture, the Demon Lord simultaneously activated his supernatural powers to confront the enemy while attempting to summon the Banner of 10 1000 Souls for battle.
Seraphina Qu and others like Qing Ji were no easy opponents either. With the 4 women joining forces to wield the Chaos-Born Supreme Treasure, they had long since completely suppressed this Banner of 10 1000 Souls.
Seraphina Qu further activated the profound divine ability '9-Colored Immortal Light,' completely refining the Banner of 10 1000 Souls. Within the banner, countless spectral souls were utterly annihilated, dissipating like ashes in the wind.
"I refuse to accept this!"
Witnessing this scene, the Demon Lord’s heart swelled with bitter hatred, his eyes blazing with overwhelming killing intent. In a near-frenzied state, he recklessly activated a self-maiming forbidden art to amplify his spiritual power, then charged fiercely into the depths of the void.
"Where do you think you're fleeing?!"
The group immediately spurred their divine swords and rare treasures into action, charging forward. Yet, to their shock, the Demon Lord let out a sinister laugh as his physical form abruptly exploded, transforming into a sky-blotting shower of bloody filth that scattered in all directions.
The nearby Yi Lightning Abyss 10-1000 Tribulation Sword, 9 Heavens Milky Way Star Sand Sword, Great Gold War Halberd, and even the paired Sky-Severing Swords were all contaminated by the blood filth, their spirituality instantly and severely diminished. "Damn it, it’s the Demonic Blood Corruption Art!"
The treasure was suddenly defiled, causing a faint pallor to cross Immortal Xuanyu’s face as fury ignited within him. This Demonic Blood Corruption Art was an exceptionally sinister demonic path technique. By cultivating this method, demonic practitioners could detonate their own flesh and blood, transforming it into a vile, yin-saturated corruption.
This blood could corrupt both flesh and soul, and was highly effective against even immortal treasures and rare artifacts. It could be considered a lose-lose tactic, 1 that only demonic cultivators would resort to in a desperate, life-or-death struggle.
At this moment, the Demon Lord did not hesitate to damage the Great Empyrean Demonic Body he had cultivated for years, using it as a sacrifice to taint the immortal treasures of the others. This immediately caused several Great Empyrean immortal weapons and World-Creating Supreme Treasures to lose a significant portion of their spiritual essence.
Aside from the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure), the other several Taiyi immortal weapons were more or less affected, their power greatly diminished for the time being.
"Whoosh—"
After destroying his demonic body and corrupting several Taiji Immortal Artifacts, the Demon Lord's primordial spirit instantly transformed into a wisp of ghostly light, fleeing in a desperate bid for survival.
Everyone’s expressions shifted dramatically. Without the crucial Taiyi Immortal Artifact, and given the speed of the Demon Lord’s primordial spirit, they could no longer completely cut off his escape route.
But at that very moment, Eldrin let out a cold laugh and said, "Where do you think you're fleeing?"
"Clang—"
In the blink of an eye, a crisp sound rang out.
But then, an incomparably dazzling blade light sliced through the void, instantly obliterating the Demon Lord's primordial spirit.
Then the blade light circled once in the void before flying back before him, vanishing into an ancient-looking gourd.
Gale-Wind God-Slaying Gourd.
Everyone who witnessed this scene couldn't help but heave a deep sigh of relief in their hearts.
The Celestial Weaver of Whirling Feathers couldn't help but glance at Eldrin, exclaiming with boundless envy, "Though your cultivation realm remains humble, I never imagined you'd possess such countless treasures. This truly fills me with incomparable admiration." She continued with reverent curiosity, "Might you be a Sacred Scion from some hidden grotto-heaven, or perhaps an esteemed disciple of a supreme sect?"
Eldrin did not answer, merely smiling faintly as he said, "These few treasures are hardly worth mentioning, nowhere near the profound cultivation of you, fellow Daoist."
Seeing this, Lord Xuanyu said nothing more.
After tidying up the battlefield, the group returned to the cosmic expanse of the Starry Sky Universe.
Eldrin said nothing more, tossing the Primordial Ancient Dragon’s physical body onto the earth vein before speaking, “Everyone, let us divide the spoils.”
Everyone gave a slight nod upon hearing this, and soon brought out the spoils of battle. The demonic cultivators possessed quite a few treasures, but most of these demonic artifacts were unusable by righteous immortals. They picked out the ones that could be utilized, yet only a handful caught their discerning eyes. These were: the Primordial Desolate Dragon (Summoned Beast), the 10 1000 Demons Bell (Magic Treasure), the Triple Demon Immortal-Slaying Sword Array (Formation), a supreme-grade Golden Vein Blessed Land (Spiritual Realm), and a piece of Primordial Chaos Goldstone (Divine Material).
Among these treasures, the Myriad Demon Bell was a Great Ultimate demonic weapon, forged from the finest Chaos-Cleaving Immortal Gold. The 3 demonic swords, including the Heavenly Demon's Immortal-Slaying Sword (Magic Treasure), were each crafted from 3 unique types of extraordinary iron. Once their demonic energy was refined, they could still be wielded.
However, once these treasures are purged of their demonic energy, their power will be greatly diminished, and their grade will also decline to some extent.
