Chapter 1042: Heading Up the Mountain
Translator: Yukidaruma Translations Editor: Yukidaruma Translations
Blood Sea’s feet each took a light step forward, then he flew upward along the mountain path like he had broken free from gravity’s restriction.
His long blood-red robes flapped amidst the strong winds, and it seemed like his body was burning up in blood-colored flames incessantly.
Fei Li followed behind Blood Seas and watched the battlefield in the far distance. Seeing how there would occasionally be astonis.h.i.+ng Qi explosions, large areas of the mountain range collapsing, and sand being thrown into the sky, she could not hold back the horrified gaze in her eyes.
Even though the world was currently in chaos with trouble brewing everywhere, this was the first time there were six Tiangang Realm experts engaged in a great battle. Fei Li could not hold back her amazement as she watched this battle.
“Young Master, do we really not need to care about them?” She could not help but ask.
Blood Sea looked at the battlefield in the distance, and the blood-colored vortex in his eyes kept on spinning. It was as if he could see through the battle situation through the layers of explosive air currents and splattering sand.
In his eyes, Zhao Yinglan’s Illusory Demonic Rotation had been performed to its greatest extremity. There was no wastage to each part of her essential Qi and powers, and all of them skillfully clashed against the Qi fields put up by the Heavenly Yaksha’s group. They would either overturn, neutralize forces, or seethe, dismissing all of the five people’s attacks and even causing their attacks to hit each other.
“The Illusory Emotions Path’s Illusory Demonic Rotation is really a remarkable technique meant for group battles. Zhao Yinglan’s actual abilities are not too much stronger than the abilities of the other five and yet she can continue holding up against their joint attacks.”
Blood Sea said calmly, “However, her Illusory Demonic Rotation has yet to be perfected. Each time they clash, she still needs to use her Gang Qis as a guidance and is unable to make use of all of the other party’s powers. The technique depletes Gang Qis at an extremely fast rate.”
He eventually made the decisive judgement, “Her defeat is just a matter of time.”
Fei Li was extremely trusting toward Blood Sea’s judgement. Hearing that, she said happily, “From today onward, the Sacred Sect’s seven paths will all be under Young Master’s control.”
“This is something that will definitely happen. Regardless of how the process will change, the result has been predetermined since a long time ago.” Blood Sea’s gaze was nonchalant and the spin of the vortex in his eyes became increasingly faster, as if taking in the entire battlefield’s situation. However, when he saw the expressions and setup of the Illusory Emotions Path’s disciples, his brows frowned uncontrollably.
“Interesting.”
Although Zhao Yinglan had landed in a disadvantageous position, there was no hint of panic on the faces of either the members from the Illusory Emotions Path or from Zhao Yinglan herself.
Blood Sea could even tell that the Illusory Emotions Path’s Elders and disciples had no intention of stepping forth to offer any help at all. Instead, they just faintly guarded the path leading to the mountain as if they were protecting something.
“There’s definitely something strange when there are abnormalities. I shall see what you guys are hiding.” Blood Sea’s eyes narrowed slightly as he turned into a stream of blood-colored flames, charging up toward the mountain top.
Fei Li tried hard to follow after him, but she was feeling very calm, having absolute confidence in her Young Master.
A stream of blood-colored flames could be seen moving along the mountain path, das.h.i.+ng several thousand meters toward the top. When the many Illusory Emotions Path’s disciples saw this, they immediately charged over in fury.
“Don’t let him get close to the mountain peak!”
“Kill him!”
As the strongest faction in the Demonic Sect’s seven paths during the last several decades or so, the Illusory Emotions Path also had the greatest number of experts amongst them.
Even though they had been caught unaware at the beginning which resulted in a bloodbath of them being killed by Heavenly Yaksha and White Asura, there were now over 1,000 Xiantian Realm experts situated on Serene Mountain as a line of defense and also several tens of Disha Realm cultivators on standby.
Facing an incoming a.s.sault, over 1,000 cultivators released their essential Qis concurrently, connecting their Qi fields together and pus.h.i.+ng out with an overwhelming impact toward Blood Sea.
However, faced with the impending attack from the surging Qi field, Blood Sea did not pay it any heed at all. Gang Qis gushed up behind him, and swis.h.i.+ng sounds of waves rang out. A series of blood-colored light soared into the sky, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into a sea of blood that went smas.h.i.+ng out toward the Gang Qis.
Rumble. The Qi field and the sea of blood instantly collided together. The Qi field, that could tear apart city walls and destroy mountain peaks, could not stand up to the seething sea of blood at all and collapsed upon contact. In the blink of an eye, the sea of blood applied pressure onto the Qi field, causing it to seethe. The countenances of the over 1,000 Illusory Emotions Path’s experts changed, and they each spat out a mouthful of blood.
At the next moment, the overwhelming sea of blood had already come pressing down explosively. Although the Illusory Emotions Path’s experts summoned their essential Qis, over 100 Xiantian Realm experts were swept away by the sea of blood. In the blink of an eye, they melted down into b.l.o.o.d.y pools and completely integrated into the sea of blood.
The Illusory Emotions Path’s disciples were pushed back repeatedly, but Blood Sea himself did not seem to care. He kept moving forward like he was taking a leisurely stroll as he headed in the direction of the mountain’s peak.
As he moved, the sea of blood also followed him and went pressing down toward the Illusory Emotions Path’s line of defense. Viscous streams of blood rivers, which seemed like extremely poisonous and eerie existences in the world, kept on dissolving everything they came into contact with. Be it cultivators, plants, or even parts of the mountains, they were all turned into a part of the sea of blood.
Seeing how the overwhelming sea of blood kept on wriggling upward and wanted to engulf the entire mountain, the remaining members of the Illusory Emotions Path’s disciples still did not back off. They summoned all of their powers to activate their Qi fields, trying to hold back the sea of blood from rising.
“Hmmm? They aren’t even afraid of death despite this?” At the sight of this scene, Blood Sea raised his brows. “You guys have successfully incurred my interest.” At this moment, Blood Sea was really curious about what all the people from the Illusory Emotions Path were trying to protect.
On the other side of the battlefield, as if sensing the seething blood waves that had suddenly appeared, Zhao Yinglan’s sent out seething Qi currents and darted out from the spot where the five people had surrounded her. Gang Qis gushed out, causing the atmosphere to tremble. The voice she released could vibrate even across 100 lis.
“Stop it! Blood Sea, do you want to die?”
However, she had only just dashed over when Heavenly Yaksha and the other four caught up to her. They managed to suppress her once again.
“Zhao Yinglan, you’re better off showing concern for yourself!”
“Let’s push it a little more. Her breathing is already unstable. She’s low on Gang Qis!”
Blood Sea smiled, and the corners of his lips curled up in a strange manner. The more Zhao Yinglan and the members of the Illusory Emotions Path tried their utmost to stop him, the more curious he felt about what was up at the top.
As Blood Sea took a step forward, the blood waves around him seethed, he flew toward the mountain top like he was riding on a blood dragon. Fei Li, who was following behind him, was also brought along the the blood waves.
In the blink of an eye, the two of them pa.s.sed through many mountain paths and several hundreds Illusory Emotions Path’s experts. Countless streams of Qi fields attacked them, but they were all stopped or even sent back by the blood waves. The Qi fields kept on breaking down, and the surging Qi currents caused large areas of the mountain to collapse. Many of the Illusory Emotions Path’s disciples cried out agonizingly as they were swept away by landslides.
A soft pata sound rang out, and as the seething blood river flowed, both Blood Sea and Fei Li had already landed in front of the door at the palace situated at the top of the mountain.
Blood Sea’s eyes glimmered in crimson light, and the two blood-colored vortexes began to spin increasingly faster.
