This humble Taoist priest, Qianhe, begins his quest for immortality by slaying demons and monsters.

The Blood Demon and the Plague Demon already had a deep-seated hatred for each other, and now that they've met, they're fighting tooth and nail.

There's no way around it if we don't work hard...

The Plague Demon knew very well that he was able to escape from the ancient battlefield seal not because of his own abilities, but because he was useful to the Daoist sect and could keep the Blood Demon in check. Putting aside the hatred between him and the Blood Demon, this reason alone was enough to make the Plague Demon want to kill him without hesitation!
In fact, the Plague Demon felt that he and the Blood Demon were being monitored by the Thieves' Guild, and if he didn't take real action, death would be the only thing waiting for him!

He wanted to live...

If they didn't want to live, they wouldn't have tried so hard to leave the ancient battlefield. The only chance now is to kill the Blood Demon; perhaps then there's a glimmer of hope. As for fooling around, the Plague Demon has no right to do so.

At this moment, the Blood Demon exuded a strong bloody aura.

The aura seemed to be a tangible thing, swirling around his body in wisps, like red smoke.

His eyes were like deep pools of blood, burning with a desire to destroy everything.

He quickly formed hand seals and let out a deep, powerful roar.

In an instant, the space beneath his feet began to distort, and a sea of ​​blood surged forth from the distortion.

The sea of ​​blood spread rapidly, expanding at an extremely fast pace.

In the sea of ​​blood, the waves surged and rose dozens of feet high, and every drop of blood exuded a nauseating stench.

The Blood Demon's figure gradually merged into the sea of ​​blood, and then the sea of ​​blood began to condense and rise into the sky.

The true form of the million-foot-long sea of ​​blood gradually took shape; it was a colossal demon god image composed of blood, towering to the heavens and blotting out the sun.

Every movement of the Blood Demon's true form caused the space to tremble violently. From time to time, huge blood hands would extend from the sea of ​​blood, each finger as large as a mountain.

The Plague Demon was not to be outdone. Although he was not as burly as the Blood Demon, he exuded a sinister aura.

His skin had a dark green hue, as if shrouded in death.

The Plague Demon raised his hands, chanting incantations in a voice that sounded like a curse from the deepest hell.

As he chanted his incantation, the surrounding air began to become murky, and a green miasma emanated from his body.

The miasma spread rapidly, corroding the space wherever it went, causing it to sizzle.

The Plague Demon then unleashed his Heavenly Manifestation and Earthly Manifestation powers, and his body began to grow rapidly.

A colossal body, tens of thousands of feet tall, slowly emerged. Every inch of its skin was covered with strange runes, which shimmered with an eerie green light, as if they were seals from hell.

The plague demon's head resembled a massive mountain peak, its eyes were like two deep green pools, and its breath carried a deadly plague.

The Blood Demon launched the first attack, with countless waves of blood surging towards the Plague Demon from his million-foot-long body of blood sea.

The blood waves transformed into enormous blood blades in the air, each blade a hundred feet long and gleaming with a cold light.

These blood-red blades rained down on the Plague Demon, and for a moment, the sky was filled with red light.

The Plague Demon remained calm and composed in the face of the Blood Blade's attack.

He moved his hands rapidly in front of him, drawing streaks of green light.

The blood blades struck the light shield with a series of loud clangs, splattering blood everywhere.

Blood splattered on the ground, corroding large pits into it.

The Plague Demon retaliated, taking a deep breath and spewing a thick green mist at the Blood Demon.

This dense fog contains countless plague germs, and once infected, even a Nascent Soul Realm expert would find it difficult to resist.

The thick fog, like a giant green dragon, lunged at the Blood Demon with bared fangs and claws.

Seeing this, the Blood Demon raised the arms of its Blood Sea True Form, and countless blood droplets flew out from its arms, gathering into a huge blood sphere.

The blood sphere rushed towards the dense green mist, and the two collided, resulting in a violent explosion.

The shockwave from the explosion spread outwards, shattering the surrounding space.

Spatial turbulence surges out from the shattered spatial rifts from time to time, a dangerous force capable of tearing everything apart.

The Blood Demon launched another attack; from his Blood Sea True Body, a gigantic blood hand reached out to grab the Plague Demon.

Wherever the bloody hand passed, space was forcibly torn open, revealing a dark void.

The Plague Demon unleashed his Heaven and Earth Transformation supernatural power to the fullest, his body spinning rapidly, forming a massive green whirlwind.

Within the whirlwind, countless green runes flickered, these runes like sharp blades, cutting the approaching bloody hand into countless holes.

The Plague Demon's whirlwind swept towards the Blood Demon, and wherever it went, a large portion of the Blood Demon's true form in the sea of ​​blood was swept away.

The Blood Demon roared, and countless crimson chains surged from his Blood Sea True Body.

These chains, as if alive, coiled around the plague demon's whirlwind.

The chains and the whirlwind pulled at each other, producing a sharp metallic scraping sound.

Suddenly, a blood shadow separated from the Blood Demon's true form in the Blood Sea, and this blood shadow rushed towards the Plague Demon at an extremely fast speed.

The blood shadow changed shape continuously during its flight, eventually transforming into a giant blood sword.

The blood sword exuded a strong bloody aura, and its blade was crackling with crimson arcs of electricity.

The Plague Demon sensed the Blood Shadow's attack and stopped the whirlwind from spinning.

His hands quickly formed a hand seal, and then he struck out with his palm towards the direction of the blood sword.

This palm strike may seem simple, but it contains his powerful magic.

A green palm print flew towards the Blood Sword, and the two met in mid-air.

With a deafening roar, the blood sword and the palm print exploded simultaneously.

The energy waves from the explosion spread in all directions, causing distant mountains to collapse.

Rocks from the collapsing mountain were sent flying into the air, only to be pulverized into dust by the energy waves.

Taking advantage of the chaos of the explosion, the Blood Demon launched another attack.

He gathered all the power of his Blood Sea True Body into one point and then shot a blood-red beam of light toward the Plague Demon.

The beam of light was a hundred feet in diameter and contained the essence of the Blood Demon's blood, making it extremely powerful.

The Plague Demon sensed the immense power of the beam of light, and a look of solemnity appeared on his face.

He pushed his magic to its limit, then formed a shield of green miasma and runes in front of him.

The crimson beam struck the shield, causing it to tremble violently.

The plague demon gritted his teeth and persevered, his feet sinking deep into the ground.

The crimson beam of light relentlessly bombarded the shield, causing the runes on it to extinguish one by one.

The Plague Demon knew this couldn't go on; he had to fight back.

So he channeled a special power from within his body into the shield.

This power is the source of the plague he has cultivated for many years; once released, the consequences will be unimaginable.

As the source of the plague was injected, the shield suddenly unleashed a powerful counterforce.

The crimson beam of light was pushed back by the recoil and shot towards the Blood Demon.

Blood Demon had not expected Plague Demon to have such methods. He had no time to dodge and could only use his Blood Sea True Body to defend himself.

The crimson beam struck Blood Sea True Body again, blasting a huge hole in it.

The Blood Demon's physical form was also impacted, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

The Plague Demon pressed his advantage and pounced on the Blood Demon.

His enormous body, imbued with the divine power of "Heaven and Earth Transformation," caused the space to tremble with every step he took.

He approached the Blood Demon and raised his massive fist to smash it down. Although the Blood Demon was injured, he wouldn't simply sit and wait to die.

His Blood Sea True Body rapidly repaired the breach, while simultaneously raising his hands to meet the Plague Demon's fist.

With a loud "boom," their fists collided.

The impact of this collision was more powerful than any previous one.

The surrounding space was instantly shattered, forming a huge spatial black hole.

The spatial black hole continuously devoured everything around it, including the Blood Demon's sea of ​​blood and the Plague Demon's miasma.

Both the Blood Demon and the Plague Demon were thrown backward by the force.

The Blood Demon's Blood Sea True Form became somewhat illusory, while the Plague Demon's Heaven and Earth Transformation Divine Power also began to become somewhat unstable.

After regaining his footing, the Blood Demon knew he could no longer engage the Plague Demon in a direct confrontation.

He began to unleash some bizarre blood demon powers.

His hands moved rapidly across the Blood Sea True Body, creating crimson vortexes within it.

These vortexes grew larger and larger, eventually converging into a massive blood-red array.

The Blood Demon chanted incantations, and beams of blood-red light shot out from the array.

These rays of light shot towards the plague demon, and wherever they passed, the space was dyed red.

Upon seeing the attack of the light, the Plague Demon's body was enveloped in a layer of green armor.

This armor was formed from his miasma and runes.

The light struck the armor, producing a hissing sound.

Although the armor blocked the light attack, it was also corroded by the light, leaving small holes.

The plague demon was enraged and decided to unleash his trump card.

He clasped his hands together in front of his chest, then slowly separated them.

A small green ball appeared in his palm, containing all his plague power.

Once this small ball explodes, it will release a plague powerful enough to destroy a large area of ​​airspace.

When the Blood Demon saw the small ball in the Plague Demon's hand, he also sensed a dangerous aura.

He once again gathered the power of his Blood Sea True Body, preparing to meet the Plague Demon's attack.

The Plague Demon threw the small ball at the Blood Demon, and the ball continued to grow larger as it flew through the air.

The Blood Demon's true form, a sea of ​​blood, shot countless blood droplets towards the small ball, attempting to stop its advance.

However, the ball's power was too great; the blood droplet evaporated as soon as it approached the ball.

Upon seeing this, the Blood Demon's true form in the sea of ​​blood suddenly split into countless smaller Blood Demons.

These little blood demons rushed towards the ball, trying to use their bodies to block its explosion.

When the little blood demon got close to the ball, the ball exploded.

A powerful green energy wave spread outwards from the center of the small ball.

The little blood demons were instantly engulfed by the energy wave, and their bodies were pulverized within it.

The Blood Demon's true form was also severely impacted; his body was struck by energy waves, and he continuously coughed up blood.

His Blood Sea True Body was severely damaged, and his million-foot-tall true body became fragmented.

Although the Plague Demon used his trump card, he himself was also suffering.

His body was thrown backward by the reaction force, and his divine power of "Heaven and Earth Transformation" was forcibly dispelled.

His body shrank to its original size, and his face became extremely pale.

At this moment, the Blood Demon knew that if he continued fighting, he would surely perish here.

"Plague Demon, we are both demons. Even if I deceived you before, you have now emerged from the ancient battlefield, haven't you?"

Why keep harping on this!

Our purpose in coming to this world is to strengthen ourselves; you and I are on the same path!

Upon hearing this, the plague demon's face contorted in a grotesque grimace.

"Shut up!
"If it weren't for you, how could I have fallen to this state!"

The Plague Demon was furious when the Blood Demon mentioned this matter. Originally, the Two Realms Talisman he possessed could have allowed him to return directly to the Demon Realm. Even if he failed to reach this realm, he wouldn't be in a situation like now, where he could only move forward without hesitation. Retreating would only invite the purge of the Daoist sect.

As for the hatred with the Blood Demon... the Plague Demon can no longer turn back.

The Blood Demon understood this principle and knew that persuasion was useless, so he gritted his teeth and decided to flee.

With his last bit of strength, he opened a spatial rift beneath his feet, then flashed and disappeared into it.

When the Plague Demon saw the Blood Demon flee, he wanted to give chase, but his body was already too weak to fight any longer.

However, there's no need to chase after it.

"run?

"Where can you run to? To recover, you'd need the Blood Sea of ​​this world. Even with the Blood Sea, you'd need a hundred years to recover. I don't need a hundred years; five years is all it takes to hunt you down again!"

That's what they say, but the Plague Demon also has his own selfish motives. If he leaves the Blood Demon alive now, his usefulness will be over, and it's hard to say whether the Daoist sect will let him go.

Therefore, the Blood Demon cannot die at this time...

Of course, it was also true that he was unable to continue the pursuit. He only hoped to buy some time and see if a powerful being at the Loose Immortal realm would descend upon the Demon Realm.

The Plague Demon knew very well that, on its own, it would be forced to continue hunting down the Blood Demon.

The great battle between the Blood Demon and the Plague Demon left this airspace in ruins.

Space was shattered, the ground was corroded, and everywhere was filled with the remnants of blood and miasma.

A streak of light flashed and landed beside the Plague Demon; it was Xuan Tianzong.

The Blood Demon has escaped!

Xuan Tianzong's eyes darkened; he felt as if he had been deceived.

“That’s normal. In my current state, I can’t stop him. However, although the Blood Demon escaped, he was seriously injured. His recovery time is longer than mine. With this disparity, the Blood Demon has no choice but to die!”

Xuan Tianzong remained silent.

"Completely killing a demon at the Nascent Soul stage is not easy; it takes time..."

"Even if you can reach the peak of the Nascent Soul stage sooner, you might still have a chance to personally kill the Blood Demon!"

Xuan Tianzong remained silent, but his rapidly beating heart betrayed him.

The plague demon scoffed at this.

Looking up at the sky, the plague demon's smiling face gradually calmed down.

Meanwhile, the White-Browed Immortal, far away in Emei, put away his Haotian Mirror.

"It seems this plague demon isn't stupid after all..."

However, it's actually quite useful against the Blood Demon, as it can pinpoint the Blood Demon's location precisely while still consuming so much resources..."

Gradually, Master Bai Mei began to understand why Master Dao Xuan had released the Plague Demon. (End of Chapter)
