Chapter 722. Curse-Killing Nero the Bloodweaver (Person Name), Establishing a Continent
Eldrin spoke as he summoned the Astral Observatory, beginning his attempt to divine the whereabouts of Nero the Bloodweaver.
As a demonic cultivator at the Half-Step Primordial Spirit realm, Nero the Bloodweaver had already become exceptionally difficult to divine, further shielded as he was by a pure Yin demonic treasure that obscured the heavenly secrets.
Particularly after Nero the Bloodweaver (Person Name) had once used the 'Blood-Cicada Molting Art (Cultivation Art)' to redirect his heavenly tribulation, causing the Elder Demon of the Wastes and numerous other demonic cultivators to perish in his stead, even a Primordial Spirit Dao Lord would struggle to trace his whereabouts.
It was precisely for this reason that Eldrin failed to foresee Nero the Bloodweaver would launch a surprise attack against the Chen Family.
Fortunately, in a recent battle, Nero the Bloodweaver (Person Name) had his physical body slain by a single strike from Magnus the Virtuous Lord (Person Name), leaving behind 3 drops of his life essence blood in their possession. It was this that gave Eldrin (Person Name) the confidence to deduce Nero the Bloodweaver (Person Name)'s location.
"Today, I shall test the location of this Nero the Bloodweaver (Person Name)."
As he activated the Great Deduction of Yin Yang and Star Dao, all the stars within the Star Observation Tower began to revolve, ultimately manifesting a hazy, indistinct image.
In the midst of a hazy sea of blood, Nero the Bloodweaver (Person Name) sat cross-legged in the void. Above him, the Heaven-Demon Blood-Transforming Divine Blade (Magic Treasure) writhed like a bloodthirsty fiend, locked in a powerful confrontation as it ceaselessly entangled with him.
The Demonic Blade Backlash!
"Perfect timing."
A flicker of thought stirred within Eldrin, his gaze instantly sharpening with a razor-edged gleam.
He forcibly summoned his magical power, extracting a drop of Nero the Bloodweaver (Person Name)'s essence blood as a medium. Then, he activated the 'Yin-Yang Annihilation God-Slaying Curse', transforming it into a terrifying curse that shot through the void to strike Nero the Bloodweaver (Person Name) from afar.
At this moment, Nero the Bloodweaver was locked in a stalemate with the demonic blade when he suddenly felt an overwhelmingly vicious Yin-Yang force assaulting him.
Yin and Yang, 2 forces of immense power, clashed directly within his body. On 1 side was a bone-piercing chill, while the other radiated boundless scorching heat. The 2 intertwined and collided in a spectacular fusion.
Under normal circumstances, Nero the Bloodweaver might have resisted the curse with his Half-Step Primordial Spirit cultivation. But now, gravely wounded and locked in a desperate struggle against the demonic blade, how could he possibly withstand such an assault?
Boom—
But then, a world-shattering sound erupted as the 'Yin-Yang Annihilation God-Slaying Curse' blasted Nero the Bloodweaver (Person Name) into dust and fragments.
At the critical moment of life and death, Nero the Bloodweaver (Person Name) once again activated the Blood Demon Rebirth Art, resurrecting through the power of the Blood Demon Seed.
Yet the Yin-Yang Annihilation God-Slaying Curse clung like maggots to the bone, relentlessly pursuing him through his divine soul and once again reducing his Blood Demon Avatar to dust.
For several attempts in a row, Nero the Bloodweaver (Person Name) still sought to escape with his life, when suddenly a crimson light descended from the Blood-Transmuting Demon Blade (Magic Treasure), pinning Nero the Bloodweaver (Person Name) firmly within that Blood Demon Essence.
"Ah—"
A desperate cry of despair echoed as Nero the Bloodweaver (Person Name) ultimately failed to escape his fate, completely eradicated from existence between heaven and earth.
Thus, the mighty Nero the Bloodweaver (Person Name) ultimately fell beneath the incantations of Eldrin (Person Name).
Watching Nero the Bloodweaver (Person Name) fall, Qing Ji couldn't help but take a deep breath and said, "We've finally slain this fiend."
"Mm." Eldrin nodded, yet continued, "But I've always felt that the final Heavenly Demon Blood God Blade seemed somewhat unusual."
"Oh?"
Lyra's brow twitched slightly before she spoke, "Can we divine the location of the Blood-Transmuting Demon Blade (Magic Treasure)?"
How vast the Violet Realm truly is! If a demonic treasure of this caliber were determined to conceal itself, save for a true immortal or supreme Pure Yang spiritual artifacts like the Mirror of Heaven’s Gaze, it would be nigh impossible for any ordinary soul to uncover its whereabouts.
Eldrin shook his head, then took a deep breath before saying, "Moreover, I have a feeling that the Crimson Blood Sea where Nero the Bloodweaver resides is likely no sanctuary of virtue either."
At the same time, an astonishing anomaly emerged at the site where Nero the Bloodweaver (Person Name) had fallen.
Boundless vital energy converged, enveloping a drop of blood essence from Nero the Bloodweaver (Person Name) as it flew toward the Li Fire Sword of the Returning Abyss (Magic Treasure).
A remnant light descended upon the Demon-Blood God Sword and merged into the Blood Demon Seed. Soon after, it transformed into a handsome man clad in crimson robes.
A faint flicker crossed his brow, a glint of amusement passing through his pupils as he murmured, "Thousands of years... To think this old master's wisp of remnant consciousness would be granted a chance at rebirth."
"Blood God Disciple, you have done well. Had you not stolen this old master's protective demon treasure back then, I might not have fallen by Emperor Jiang's hand."
"Now that I have returned, once I restore my cultivation base, I shall settle every last debt from the past with you, my treacherous disciple!"
At this point, the handsome man cast a glance around, his expression turning slightly cold as he continued, "How despicable! Emperor Jiang's methods were utterly ruthless, having nearly completely obliterated this old man's soul."
"If I hadn't left a wisp of my soul within the Heavenly Demon's Blood-Transmuting Blade beforehand, I would have truly been left without even a grave to rest in."
"Yet even so, this divine soul has been eroded into a mere remnant thought. Relying solely on this wisp of remnant consciousness to seize a body and revive, I'm afraid it would require 1 1000 years to restore the Primordial Spirit Realm."
Eldrin remained unaware of the matter concerning the Blood Demon's resurrection.
After cursing Nero the Bloodweaver (Person Name) to death, he turned his focus to cultivation while simultaneously making preparations for the old clan leader's venture into the Blazing Inferno Sea.
Thus time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, 30 years had passed.
Early that morning, just as Eldrin had finished absorbing the violet qi of the dawn glow, he noticed Lyra strolling toward him.
She handed a letter to Eldrin and said, "Yan Ziji and Lingxu Xianzi have sent letters expressing their wish to discuss the establishment of a new continent."
"Oh?"
Eldrin's brow twitched slightly as he finally recalled the matter of establishing the new continent.
Long before Eldrin broke through to the Nascent Soul stage, he had already discussed the establishment of a new continent with Violet Banquet Immortal and Lingxu Immortal.
At that time, due to insufficient strength, he had temporarily set this matter aside. Later, the Cataclysm of the Demonic Abyss forced him to postpone it further, and this delay had already lasted for hundreds of years.
Logically speaking, given their current strength, establishing a continent would have been more than sufficient even before the Cataclysm of the Demonic Abyss. Yet, none of them dared to hastily establish a continent.
After all, most of the territory they seized originally belonged to the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast). Establishing a new continent now would be nothing short of a direct slap in the face to the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast).
Moreover, once a new continent was established, they would no longer be under the protection of the Ji Clan of Ji Continent. By then, the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) would undoubtedly take action.
The Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor (Demon Beast) had not only reached the Half-Step Primordial Spirit (Cultivation Realm) in cultivation, but also possessed the Pure Yang Spiritual Treasure—Green Jade Ruler of Heaven’s Measure (Magic Treasure)—to stabilize his destiny. If a conflict were to erupt, even the Chen Family would struggle to emerge unscathed.
Fortunately, by now, the Chen Clan boasted 13 True Monarchs, while the Violet Mist Mountain housed 2 True Monarchs—Spirit Maiden Immortal and Violet Mist Immortal—and the Ethereal Void Lake had 3 True Monarchs.
This level of power was already formidable, and with the Green Abyss Sword in hand, Eldrin could be said to fear the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor not in the slightest.
At this thought, Eldrin nodded and said, "Although establishing a new continent will inevitably lead to a confrontation with the Green Flood Dragon Demon Emperor, our current strength leaves us completely unafraid of him now."
"As pioneers of this new continent, we shall be blessed by the providence of hundreds of millions of humans inhabiting these lands. This will enhance our cultivation speed and fortuitous encounters by severalfold—a matter of utmost importance to us."
Lyra (Person Name) nodded in agreement upon hearing this, then said with a smile, "That's exactly what I had in mind. I've already arranged to meet them 3 days from now at the Green Lotus Isle."
