Covering the sky: I have the body of the sky, and I have inherited the ten evil methods

Chapter 95 Core!

Spiritual veins are places where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth converges. For cultivators, they are like a giant magnet, full of fatal attraction.

No wonder so many cultivators have gathered here; it seems a bloody battle is inevitable.

Before Master Xuanfeng could finish speaking, a sinister laugh, like the hooting of an owl, came from the entrance of the valley, sending chills down one's spine.

"Hahaha, I am determined to obtain this spiritual vein!"

A figure dressed in a blood-red robe appeared.

His face was as pale as paper, and his eyes were sunken, like two will-o'-the-wisps, flickering with a chilling light.

Behind him followed a group of evil cultivators, each with a ferocious face and exuding a nauseating evil aura.

The forces of good and evil are clearly divided, and a great battle is about to break out.

The Blood Demon Old Monster made the first move, wielding his Blood Demon Blade, and a beam of blood-red light shot towards the crowd like a venomous snake.

Xiao Chen snorted coldly, took a step forward, and a golden light flashed in his hand, forming a golden barrier that blocked the bloody light.

"boom!"

With a deafening roar, blood exploded, turning into a rain of blood that poured down from the sky.

The valley instantly transformed into a battlefield of carnage.

Holding a long sword, Xiao Chen moved like lightning through the crowd, each strike taking a life.

The big black dog was not to be outdone, and set up layers of magic arrays, trapping many evil cultivators.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi then unleashed the sacred artifact of Yaochi, pouring down its purifying power, causing those cultivators tainted by evil energy to suffer unbearable pain.

The battle was extremely fierce; both sides were blinded by rage and completely forgot about life and death.

at this time……

"Rumble..."

The earth began to tremble, and a muffled rumble came from the depths of the valley, as if something was about to burst forth from the ground.

"What happened?" Jiang Huai-ren exclaimed.

Master Xuanfeng's expression changed, and he said in a deep voice, "The spiritual vein... is about to be born!"

The air around the Blood Demon was thick with spiritual energy, almost solidified, making it difficult to breathe.

His eyes were bloodshot as he stared greedily in the direction of the spiritual vein, like a hungry wolf spotting its prey.

"Get out of my way!"

He roared, swinging the Blood Demon Blade even more wildly, its blade slicing through the air with a sharp whistling sound, creating gusts of bloody wind.

Xiao Chen and the others were forced to retreat by this powerful force, and each of them felt an inexplicable pressure, as if a mountain was pressing down on their hearts.

"Damn it, that old devil has gone mad!"

The big black dog cursed, and black light surged around its body. Ancient runes appeared, forming a solid barrier to resist the Blood Demon Old Monster's attack.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi was pale, and the Holy Artifact of Yaochi in her hand was dim, clearly also affected by the spiritual vein.

She gritted her teeth, braced herself, and continued to release her purifying power, attempting to suppress the evil aura emanating from the Blood Demon Old Monster.

Just then, an even more powerful force suddenly erupted from the spiritual vein, like a volcanic eruption, forcing everyone back several steps.

"What's going on..." the big black dog exclaimed, but before it could finish speaking, it saw a dazzling light shoot into the sky from the spiritual vein...

The light was as intense as the blazing sun, yet it also carried a strange black tinge, as if a giant beast were unleashing its fangs, its ferocious aura sweeping across the sky.

A violent energy shockwave swept out, destroying all vegetation, cracking the ground, and sending sand and stones flying, as if the end of the world had arrived.

Xiao Chen felt a tremendous force pushing him, as if his internal organs were about to shift, and a metallic taste rose in his throat.

He staggered backward, struggling to regain his balance. The world before him was a blur, and his ears were ringing. Only the deafening roar still echoed in his ears.

Amidst the chaos, the Blood Demon Old Monster's eyes gleamed with greed.

He acted like a madman, rushing headlong towards the source of the pillar of light.

"Hahaha! Heaven is on my side!" The Blood Demon laughed wildly, his scarlet tongue licking his chapped lips, as if he could already see himself devouring spiritual veins and his power surging.

He was getting closer and closer to the spiritual vein, so close that he could almost touch the surging light.

However, the moment he reached out his hand, something unexpected happened!

The once-brilliant pillar of light suddenly dimmed, replaced by a viscous black energy that spread rapidly, like spilled ink.

It devoured everything around it; flowers, grass, and trees withered instantly, rocks turned to dust, and a nauseating stench of decay filled the air.

"What the hell is this?!" the big black dog cried out in terror, struggling desperately, only to find itself bound by an invisible force, unable to move.

Xiao Chen was also trapped by this black energy. He felt his power being rapidly absorbed, and his body was becoming heavier and heavier, as if he were sinking into a swamp.

He gritted his teeth and tried his best to mobilize the little remaining true energy in his body, but it was like throwing a mud ox into the sea, to no avail.

The sacred artifact in the hands of the Holy Maiden of Yaochi dimmed, her face was pale, her lips trembled, and her eyes were filled with despair.

The Blood Demon was also trapped by the black energy, but he showed no panic. Instead, he laughed loudly, his laughter filled with madness and triumph.

"Hahaha! You're all wrong!"

He roared, his voice sharp and piercing, "All of this was meticulously planned by me! I will use the power of this spiritual vein to break through my shackles, sever my path, and become a king!"

His words were like thunder, exploding in everyone's ears.

It turns out that all of this was a conspiracy by the Blood Demon!

He deliberately provoked everyone, causing the spiritual veins to mutate, all in order to use this powerful force to achieve his ulterior motives.

Despair spread through everyone's hearts. They were trapped in this black energy, unable to move, and could only watch helplessly as the Blood Demon Old Monster walked step by step toward the spiritual vein, toward that supreme power.

Just at this critical moment, a purple light pierced the darkness.

The Holy Maiden of the Purple Mansion descended like a celestial maiden from the heavens, surrounded by purple aura, resembling a banished immortal.

She held a purple immortal sword in her hand, its blade shimmering with light and radiating a chilling aura.

With a gentle wave of her immortal sword, a purple sword aura ripped through the void, splitting a crack in the viscous black energy.

Everyone felt a sense of relief, the pressure lessened, and they were finally free to move around.

"The Holy Maiden of the Purple Mansion!" the Holy Maiden of Yaochi exclaimed in surprise, her eyes rekindling with hope.

The Holy Maiden of the Purple Mansion swept her gaze across the crowd, finally settling on the Blood Demon Old Monster, her tone icy: "Blood Demon, your conspiracy ends here."

The Blood Demon Old Monster's face was gloomy. He sneered, "Purple Mansion Saintess, do you think you can stop me?"

The Holy Maiden of the Purple Mansion ignored his provocation and turned to the crowd, saying in a deep voice, "This spiritual vein has been corrupted by evil forces for a long time, and the Blood Demon has taken advantage of this. To solve this problem, we need everyone's cooperation."

She paused, her gaze falling on Xiao Chen, a strange meaning in her eyes: "Xiao Chen, are you willing to help me?"

Xiao Chen was startled. He sensed the hidden meaning in the words of the Purple Mansion Saintess, but he couldn't quite grasp it.

He said in a deep voice, "I am willing."

Under the command of the Purple Mansion Saintess's clear, cold voice, everyone awoke as if from a dream. Xiao Chen took the lead, mobilizing the remaining divine power within his body, his eyes flashing like lightning as he charged straight at the Blood Demon Old Monster, attempting to reverse the tide.

Although the big black dog was fat, it was unusually agile, constantly circling around the Blood Demon Old Monster, looking for an opportunity to strike.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi held a sacred artifact, and its holy light shone forth once more, dispelling the surrounding black energy.

Jiang Huai-ren followed closely behind Xiao Chen, his eyes resolute, determined to defend him to the death.

The Blood Demon Old Monster absorbed the evil power in the spiritual vein, causing his body to grow several times larger, his muscles to bulge and his veins to stand out, making him look like a demon from hell.

He swung his enormous hands, each attack carrying a chilling black energy, and the air was filled with a pungent, putrid stench.

The group joined forces to attack, swords flashed, energy collided, and a deafening roar erupted.

However, the Blood Demon was far too powerful, and the group gradually felt overwhelmed.

Xiao Chen felt his tiger's mouth go numb, and he could barely hold the long sword in his hand.

The big black dog howled and was kicked away by the Blood Demon Monster, crashing into the stone wall with a dull thud.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi's sacred artifact dimmed, and her face grew increasingly pale.

Just as everyone was beginning to despair, the Purple Mansion Saintess suddenly changed her expression, a hint of fear flashing in her originally calm eyes.

She seemed to sense something, and suddenly looked up into the depths of the spiritual vein, her voice trembling slightly: "Oh no! Something is about to emerge!"

Just then, the black energy in the spiritual vein surged wildly like a volcanic eruption, forming a huge vortex that let out a chilling roar, as if some terrifying being was about to burst out of the ground.

The Holy Maiden of the Purple Mansion bit her tongue, spitting a mouthful of blood onto the immortal sword in her hand. The sword hummed and burst forth with dazzling purple light.

Ignoring everything else, she turned around abruptly and shouted at Xiao Chen, "Go! Get out of here!"

Before she could finish speaking, she resolutely rushed into the vortex of black energy...

leave?

How can it be!

Xiao Chen is not one to fear death!

Besides, the Holy Maiden of Yaochi is still by his side; how could he abandon her?

"Leave? Where to? I finally found such a prime location, and I haven't even had a chance to reap the benefits yet!"

The big black dog crawled out of the pile of rubble, spat out a mouthful of saliva covered in dirt, its face full of resentment.

This guy really won't act until he sees the benefit!
A resolute glint flashed in the cold eyes of the Holy Maiden of Yaochi. She gently raised her jade hand, and a crystal-clear jade ruyi appeared in her hand, emitting a soft light that illuminated her exquisite face.

"The Fairy Zixiao sacrificed herself for righteousness; how can we live in disgrace?"

"You can leave if you want, I'm staying to watch the show!" The big black dog's eyes darted around, clearly plotting something again.

This evil force has fully erupted, and unless it is completely eradicated, the entire cultivation world will be reduced to a living hell.

"Fairy, tell me what to do?" Xiao Chen's voice was firm and powerful, his eyes burning with fierce fighting spirit.

"The core node of the spiritual vein! Find it, purify it!" After saying this, Fairy Zixiao was swallowed by the black vortex, leaving only a sigh echoing between heaven and earth.

Xiao Chen looked around, but could see nothing but churning black energy and the ferocious Blood Demon Old Monster.

"I know where it is!" The big black dog suddenly jumped up, its face full of excitement. "Hehe, this is a good thing, containing the purest spiritual energy in the world!"

"Speak!" Xiao Chen grabbed the big black dog's ear and asked fiercely.

"Ouch! It hurts! I'll tell you, I'll tell you! It's right in the center of that black vortex!" The big black dog howled in pain and quickly revealed the location of the core node.

At the center of the black vortex?
Isn't that seeking death?

Xiao Chen cursed inwardly, but since things had come to this point, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.

"Holy Maiden of Yaochi, Brother Jiang, Daoist Xuanfeng, let's charge in together!" Xiao Chen shouted and took the lead in rushing into the black vortex.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi followed closely behind, her jade ruyi radiating brilliant light, forming a protective barrier that shielded everyone within.

Jiang Huai-ren and Daoist Xuan-feng also unleashed their magical weapons and fought alongside Xiao Chen.

Upon seeing this, the Blood Demon Old Monster let out a deafening roar, brandishing his blood-red giant axe and slashing fiercely at the crowd.

"Hmph! You're courting death!" Xiao Chen snorted coldly, brandishing his longsword. Sharp sword energies roared out, colliding with the blood-red giant axe and bursting into sparks.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi used her magic to continuously weaken the Blood Demon's power.

Jiang Huai-ren and Daoist Xuan-feng worked together seamlessly, restraining the Blood Demon Old Monster's actions.

The group fought and retreated, gradually approaching the center of the black vortex.

Along the way, they encountered countless attacks of black energy, but all of them were blocked by the protective barrier of the Holy Maiden of Yaochi.

Finally, they arrived at the center of the black vortex.

Before them stood a massive black crystal, emanating a chillingly malevolent aura.

This is the core node of the spiritual vein!

"That's it!" the big black dog barked excitedly.

"Where is Fairy Zixiao?" The Holy Maiden of Yaochi looked around but did not find Fairy Zixiao.

“She…she has already…” Xiao Chen gritted his teeth, not saying the rest of the sentence.

"Stop talking nonsense and hurry up and purify the core node!" the big black dog urged.

The voice of Fairy Zixiao still seemed to echo in my ears: "Inject your spiritual power into the core node and purify it!"

No one dared to be negligent, and they all poured their spiritual power into the black crystal.

The black crystal began to tremble violently, emitting piercing screams as if resisting the purifying power.

The Blood Demon Old Monster also realized everyone's intentions. He frantically attacked the protective barrier, trying to stop everyone from purifying the core node.

The protective barrier was teetering on the brink of collapse.

Just at this critical moment, the gray-robed man suddenly appeared and stood in front of everyone.

"You guys continue, I'll hold him off!" The gray-robed man's voice was hoarse, and his face was obscured.

"You..." Xiao Chen wondered.

"Stop asking so many questions, hurry up and purify the core node!" the gray-robed man said impatiently.

Without further hesitation, Xiao Chen poured all his spiritual power into the black crystal.

The Holy Maiden of Yaochi, Jiang Huai Ren, and Daoist Xuan Feng also increased their output of spiritual power.

The black crystal trembled more and more violently, and the screams grew increasingly piercing...

"Oh no! This thing is going to explode!" the big black dog exclaimed.

The gray-robed man suddenly turned around and said to Xiao Chen, "Kid, it's up to you now..."

Before the words were even finished, the black crystal suddenly expanded, and the blinding black light instantly engulfed the entire valley!
"Oh no, retreat quickly!" the big black dog yelled, frantically pawing at the ground with all four legs, wishing it had two more legs.
