Xiuxian: But It's Not a Game

Chapter 170 The Heavenly Demon Disintegrates, Transforming into the Blood Demon

Sensing the looming danger above, the dragon raised its head to look at the Blood Fiend Ancestor and spoke in human language:

"Fellow Daoist, do not panic. I have a personal grudge against this boy and have no intention of getting involved in your feud."

The Blood Fiend Ancestor's wariness hadn't disappeared, but he had indeed stopped moving.

The sect is facing a crisis, and the Blood Fiend Ancestor is unwilling to offend a mythical dragon of over two hundred levels for no reason.

Seeing this, Su Yu felt relieved. He kept one part of his attention on this side and nine parts on Sikong Xiang under his claws, because he knew that Sikong Xiang was not dead.

The dragon claws rose, and two figures flew out from the edge of the claws and shot straight into the sky. However, the dragon, which was prepared, accurately recognized Sikong Xiang's location. Its other claws moved with lightning speed, creating a palm wall a kilometer high to block him. With a flick of its finger, it sent him flying and crashing down heavily.

Immediately following was a resounding dragon roar, as if it came from beyond the heavens, and a wave of energy swept over Sikong Xiang, making his very soul tremble.

The Blood Demon Palace disciple, disheveled and bewildered, was still in a daze. He racked his brains but couldn't recall ever offending a true dragon that was over level 200 and a mythical template.

But he had no time to think; the imminent threat made him reflexively reach out and shout:
"Your Excellency Zhenlong, please show mercy. I am willing to pay any price."

His response was a crimson dragon claw striking down. His protective aura trembled violently but remained intact. However, as the dragon claw struck down again and pressed down once more, the protective aura collapsed after withstanding three consecutive blows. The dragon claw struck his chest, and an invisible wave swept over him, instantly turning his face pale.

"Shifting Stars and Changing Constellations—Depriving One of Lifespan!"

Having finally encountered a target who could strip away his lifespan, Su Yu was naturally not going to let it go, and immediately pressed down with another finger.

"Ahhh!"

"My lifespan."

When the second finger was pressed down, Sikong Xiang had given up hope and decisively activated his trump card secret technique, the Heavenly Demon Disintegration Technique. His entire lifespan of a hundred years was burned away, transforming into an unimaginable power that rose from his body.

The depleted magical power within his body was replenished in the blink of an eye and continued to rise, reaching more than ten times its usual level in less than ten seconds.

At the same time, all magic cooldowns were reset, and surging blood flames rose up and engulfed the dragon claws, with a powerful force emanating from beneath them.

The red dragon lowered its head, and a beam of blood-red light shot into the sky from between its claws, exploding in the air and transforming into endless blood-red light. It then rapidly expanded to the size of a thousand acres, and a huge face emerged in the blood-red clouds, which was none other than Sikong Xiang.

Around the blood-red clouds, countless Blood Gods surrounded Sikong Xiang's face, shuttling back and forth within the clouds.

"Hiss, transform into a blood demon!"

Someone recognized his move and was utterly shocked.

"He's gone mad! He's destroying his own body to become a blood demon. This supreme forbidden technique of the Blood Demon Palace is irreversible, and even if he survives, he'll still face divine retribution afterward—a near-death experience!"

"He's not crazy; if he doesn't fight, he'll die."

"It's just dying once. He's still young, and he can afford to die."

"He can't afford to die!"

Another disciple of the Blood Demon Hall said with a solemn expression:

"Although I don't know what kind of supernatural powers that dragon has, Sikong Xiang told me that just now, with the dragon's two fingers pointing at him, he was deprived of 20 years of his lifespan. If he doesn't fight desperately, he will die completely."

"Although Tianqian's life is fraught with peril, there is still a glimmer of hope. If we don't fight now, we will face certain death."

"hiss!"

"So scary?"

The many experts in the guild alliance looked solemnly at the ever-expanding blood clouds and the rapidly gathering thunderclouds in the sky.

"Boom!"

Beyond the blood-red clouds in the sky, a thundercloud was rapidly expanding, and a crimson dragon was shuttling back and forth within it, constantly raising its head and roaring as it gathered cloud energy.

Bloodline supernatural power—summoning wind and rain.

Bloodline supernatural power – lightning and thunder.

In just a few seconds, the thundercloud's range had far exceeded that of the sea of ​​blood, with endless lightning converging within, constantly emanating a terrifying aura that sent shivers down one's spine.

Within the sea of ​​blood, Sikong Xiang's primordial spirit rose, a ruthless glint flashing in his eyes. He opened his mouth and blew, causing the Blood God Society leader, who was watching from afar, to change his expression and immediately shout:

"Order everyone to immediately retreat to a distance of ten miles."

Several high-ranking members of the Blood Demon Palace guild also realized what was happening and quickly ordered a retreat.

They ran fast, and many ordinary players who had been recruited for profit didn't have time to react and were still watching the show nearby when they saw the sea of ​​blood above their heads explode again, with countless Blood God Children flying out from it.

Many players who were nearby only had time to activate their defensive magic items before they saw the Blood God Child rushing towards them, passing right through their bodies, and their souls being grabbed and thrown into the sky by the Blood God Child.

In just over ten seconds, countless corpses fell, accompanied by a swirling of bloody light that swept up the bodies and absorbed them into the blood cloud.

In less than half a minute, tens of thousands of players were caught off guard and killed, their physical bodies and souls turning into nourishment for the sea of ​​blood.

"He's crazy!"

The guild leaders, who had retreated far away, shouted loudly:

"Why didn't he warn us before he made a move? Would he even do something to his own people?"

"And what he's doing is intolerable to Heaven and Earth, isn't he afraid of divine retribution?"

Blood God Society President Wang Zhen said calmly, "He's already destroyed his physical body and consumed a hundred years of his lifespan to unleash the Heavenly Demon Disintegration technique, so what's there to fear from Heaven?"

"At this point, he couldn't care less about anything else. If he didn't fight desperately now, he would die immediately; if he fought desperately, he would have a sliver of hope."

"Hmph, what chance does he have? A level 204 mythic template true dragon, I don't think he can withstand it."

"Whether we can handle it or not, we have to give it a shot. Maybe a miracle will happen."

However, despite saying that, Wang Zhen knew in his heart that there would be no miracle.

The gap is too big; there's no way to turn things around, unless...
"Unless we sacrifice all one million people on this land, we might have a chance to fight back."

But that's clearly impossible; the leaders of the major guilds wouldn't send all their subordinates to their deaths.

"Boom!"

Within half a minute, the thunderclouds had covered an area of ​​more than ten kilometers, completely engulfing the sea of ​​blood.

The red dragon's head peeked out from the thunderclouds, glanced at the sea of ​​blood, and then turned and disappeared back into the thunderclouds.

"That's not enough, we need to continue gathering more lightning."

The name of the Blood Demon Palace's supreme Blood Scripture master was renowned, and he had certainly heard of it. Before coming here, he had learned about the Blood Scripture and knew the power of Sikong Xiang's move.

This move is also a forbidden move in the Blood Demon Palace. It involves permanently destroying the physical body to condense a sea of ​​blood, and the primordial spirit transforms into a blood demon, from which it will exist in the form of a blood demon from now on.

The prerequisite is that you can survive the divine punishment.

This move is not only forbidden in the Blood Demon Palace, but also taboo to heaven and earth. Once the Blood Demon is born, it will surely be punished by heaven. Only those who survive the punishment by heaven have a future.

A few crimson dragons rose from the top of the thunderclouds, and when they looked up, they saw an aura that made their hearts tremble as it gathered in the sky above them.

This aura condensed extremely quickly; in just a few seconds, the void cracked open, revealing a circular hole resembling a heavenly eye. An incomparably cold aura emanated from it, and clouds began to converge towards the heavenly eye.

Ten seconds later, Su Yu felt the thunderclouds she had gathered being drawn by an invisible force.

He decisively took to the air, and the thunderclouds moved and surged toward the dome. Then he relinquished control of the thunderclouds, and the sky full of thunderclouds was instantly controlled by the Eye of Heavenly Punishment. The Heavenly Punishment Calamity Clouds skipped the initial stage and took shape.

"He's dead!"

As the Crimson Dragon emerged from the thunderclouds, which expanded at a much faster rate than before, Wang Zhen coldly uttered a sentence and ordered the Blood God Society's subordinates to retreat.

The sea of ​​blood was boiling, and a huge blood-red skull was taking shape within the crimson waters.

Countless Blood God Children surged in from all directions, pouring the souls of a large number of captured players into the seven orifices of the skull.

With each soul he merges with, his aura grows stronger.

With each hundred souls he merges with, his aura grows stronger.

When he merges with a thousand souls, his aura becomes twice as powerful.

In just a short while, Blood God Child had killed as many as 20,000 to 30,000 players, and the aura of Blood Demon Primordial Spirit had grown nearly thirty times, and had also fully taken shape.

"Crash!"

The enormous Blood Demon Primordial Spirit slowly rose from the sea of ​​blood, covering the sea of ​​blood, which was more than ten kilometers in diameter, and surged like ocean waves.

Feeling a primordial spirit dozens of times stronger than before and magical power a hundred times greater, Sikong Xiang's heart swelled uncontrollably, and a booming voice resounded from the sea of ​​blood, echoing throughout heaven and earth:
"As long as the sea of ​​blood dries up, I will never die!"

Countless Blood Gods gathered in the sea of ​​blood to form a Blood Lotus Throne. A massive Blood Demon Primordial Spirit slowly rose and coiled on the Blood Lotus, slowly opening its eyes, and a blinding blood light exploded out.

The Blood Demon looked up at the True Dragon, pointed his finger, and a sea of ​​blood surged forth, with countless Blood God Children rushing out of the sea of ​​blood and attacking the True Dragon.

"Swell!"

The Crimson Dragon snorted coldly, pressed down with its claw, and its chin whiskers swayed. Tens of thousands of Bing Fire Divine Thunderbolts condensed in the void and then exploded, instantly transforming into a Bing Fire Thunderbolt Sea that stretched for more than ten kilometers.

The raging power of the Bing Fire Divine Thunder tore the Blood God Child to shreds.

Then, with two crimson dragon claws grasping, the Bing Fire Divine Thunder, stretching over ten kilometers, was bound and gathered by invisible magical power, condensing into a Bing Fire Thunder Spear with a diameter of tens of meters and a length of three kilometers. It was hurled down fiercely, piercing through the sea of ​​blood in the blink of an eye, and creating a huge hole with a diameter of over one kilometer.

"Roar!"

The Blood Demon roared to the sky, and a sea of ​​blood surged and rose thousands of meters high, coalescing into a humanoid Blood Demon form that was thousands of meters tall.

The Blood Demon's true form reached out and grabbed, causing spheres to rise from the sea of ​​blood. A few of these spheres exploded, and Blood God Children reformed and continued to pounce on the Crimson Dragon.

However, this time the Crimson Dragon did not resist, but instead raised its head and rushed towards the sky, directly disappearing into the Heavenly Tribulation Clouds.

The Blood God Child, who had soared into the sky, paused in mid-air. The next second, tens of thousands of lightning bolts crashed down from the tribulation clouds, each striking the Blood God Child precisely and instantly annihilating him.

Above the sea of ​​blood, the true form of the Blood Demon roared in agony, raising its giant arm to smash down as if about to unleash a powerful attack. But as the eye of tribulation in the center of the Heavenly Tribulation Cloud slowly opened, the sound abruptly stopped, and the humanoid true form collapsed and merged into the sea of ​​blood, disappearing without a trace.

"You little brat, I thought you weren't even afraid of divine retribution!"

The head of the crimson dragon emerged from the clouds of tribulation, extending its claw to grab something, and wisps of blood-red lightning danced on the dragon scales between its claws.

This crimson lightning has nothing to do with the Blood Demon, but is the annihilation tribulation lightning unique to Heavenly Mandate, with power beyond ordinary people's imagination.

The reason he could move freely in and out of the Heavenly Tribulation Clouds was mainly because his true dragon incarnation was condensed from the power of the Heavenly Dao, which allowed him to get close. If another true dragon dared to enter the Heavenly Tribulation Clouds, it would have been blasted into dust long ago.
