Chapter 82 Desire to Pacify the Unborn Heaven
Chapter 82 Desire to Pacify the Unborn Heaven
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
The collision of sword and flesh produced a deafening clang of metal against metal, sparks flying everywhere.
Every sword strike of the King's Way is simple and direct, yet it contains the Daoist essence of certain death.
With slashes, thrusts, parries, and cuts, the sword light formed a net, blocking all of Xue Wuhen's escape routes and attacks, forcing him to retreat in a disheveled manner.
The more Bloodless fought, the more terrified he became!
He initially thought his opponent was just a skilled assassin who had gained the upper hand with his unpredictable movements and sharp swordsmanship.
But after a brief exchange, he was horrified to discover that he was completely outmatched.
Each of his opponent's sword strikes was as heavy as a mountain and sharp enough to tear apart his Blood God Qi. The pure power and sword intent were simply unreasonable.
It should be noted that when Wang Dao was still in the Dragon Spine Realm, he was able to defeat the strong with the weak and kill the ancient ferocious beast Zhu Yan, who was comparable to the peak of the Divine Travel Realm.
Now that he has advanced to the Thunder Furnace Realm, his internal organs are roaring like thunder, and his blood and qi are as vigorous as the sea. Facing Xue Wuhen, who is also in the Divine Travel Realm, he displays an absolute combat power that is almost overwhelming.
"impossible!"
Bloodless roared in disbelief. He, who had dominated the Southern Frontier and was hailed as a once-in-a-century genius of Blood River Heaven, was now being suppressed to such an extent by an unknown nobody who had appeared out of nowhere.
He was certain that the swordsmanship and techniques his opponent used were unlike anything he had ever seen before, and were definitely not those of the renowned geniuses from other major sects.
"Boundless sea of blood!"
Forced into a corner, Xue Wuhen's eyes flashed with madness. He formed hand seals and unleashed the ultimate technique from the Blood Nerve.
At the same time, the corpses of Blood River Heaven disciples scattered on the lava land suddenly trembled and then withered away at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The pure essence of blood energy was forcibly extracted, turning into crimson streams of light, which were all swallowed by the Bloodless Whale.
"boom!"
His aura surged, and the wounds on his body inflicted by sword energy healed at an astonishing speed. He seemed to transform into a demon emerging from a sea of blood and hell, once again charging towards the path of kingship.
However, the sword of the king is truly terrifying.
Even though Xue Wuhen absorbed the essence and blood of his fellow disciples, causing his combat power to surge, and fought to the extreme, he was still firmly suppressed.
The edge of the Dragon Abyss Sword seemed to be imbued with some kind of power that could annihilate all laws. With each collision, his Blood God Invincible Body trembled violently.
"Sizzle!"
A flash of sword light swept across, and another deep, bone-revealing sword wound appeared on the arm that had been covered in bloodless marks.
Crimson blood splattered out.
Just then, Wang Dao's blood and qi suddenly surged, and his body let out a yearning cheer.
It was as if the blood flowing through Xue Wuhen's body was something that should have belonged to him, a treasure he had been reunited with after a long separation.
This sudden anomaly made Wang Dao's eyes grow even more sinister, and his attacks became even more ferocious and fierce.
"Get out of here!"
With a low shout, Wang Dao channeled his blood and qi into the Dragon Abyss Sword, merging himself with the sword to become a black sword rainbow that stretched to the heavens and the earth, sweeping across with a single strike.
"puff--!"
The crimson shield that Xue Wuhen had painstakingly built shattered like thin ice under this sword strike.
The sword struck his chest squarely, leaving a horrific wound that stretched from his left shoulder to his right abdomen, deep enough to expose the bone, almost splitting him in two.
"Wow!"
He coughed up a mouthful of blood and flew backward like a kite with a broken string, his blood splattering across the sky.
However, Xue Wuhen did not linger in the fight. Using this immense force, he twisted his body in mid-air and, without looking back, transformed into a streak of blood-red light, fleeing desperately into the depths of the Ten Thousand Mountains.
How could the kingly way allow him to have his way?
The ground beneath his feet trembled violently, and he shot forward like an arrow, covering hundreds of feet in a single stride to catch up with the pursuer.
A cold, mocking voice, like the pronouncement of death, exploded in Xue Wuhen's ears:
"Blood Without Trace, you're going to die today! Do you know that?"
Like a blood-red comet, Blood Without Trace rushed desperately towards the deepest part of this magma land.
The Blood God Disc on his chest radiated an unprecedentedly brilliant divine light, like a scarlet star, guiding him in the direction he was heading.
Behind me, the sound of footsteps was like the Grim Reaper's call.
"Boom! Boom! Boom!"
Wang Dao's physical body was extremely terrifying. After advancing to the Thunder Furnace Realm, his power underwent another qualitative transformation.
He did not use any movement techniques, but ran purely with his physical strength. Every time he stepped on the ground, it caused the ground within a radius of a hundred feet to collapse violently, creating shocking giant pits and splashing lava everywhere.
Faced with the relentless pursuit of Wang Dao, Xue Wuhen had already unleashed the Blood Escape Technique, his essence blood burning wildly, transforming into extreme speed.
He wanted to take the divine bird's Nirvana egg before Wang Dao caught up with him.
The further you go in, the more terrifyingly high the temperature becomes.
The air was distorted by the scorching heat, and everything in sight was blurred; the terrifying heat seemed to melt even steel.
This also means that they are getting closer and closer to the place of Nirvana of that divine bird.
Under the intense heat, Xue Wuhen's essence blood burned even faster. He had to divert some of his strength to resist the scorching heat that could turn a cultivator into a charcoal, and his face was already as pale as paper.
Just then, Wang Dao's angry shout, tinged with a hint of mockery, rolled in from behind:
"Blood Without Trace, thank you so much for leading the way! Otherwise, I really wouldn't have been able to find this divine bird's egg!"
Upon hearing this, Xue Wuhen's frantic running figure trembled violently, and his expression changed drastically.
"How did he know?!"
In a flash, he figured it out: it must have been those damned good-for-nothings who had been too talkative.
"You deserve it! You all deserve to die!"
Xue Wuhen cursed wildly in his heart, but forced a smile on his face. He swung a large, blood-red handprint behind him and shouted urgently:
"Your Excellency! My Blood River Heaven and the Unborn Heaven have always been of one mind and belong to the same Six Paths of the Demonic Sect. Are you really going to fight to the death with my Blood River Heaven over a mere inanimate object?"
Wang Dao's figure arrived through the air, his blood and qi surging, easily shattering the blood-red handprint.
He looked down at Xue Wuhen, a mocking smile playing on his lips beneath the silver mask.
"Just now, your disciple asked me what the Unborn Heaven is."
"Prepare to die! Those who insult my Heaven of No Life shall be destroyed!"
As soon as he finished speaking, sword energy surged like a rainbow.
A highly refined black sword light, seemingly piercing through heaven and earth, swept towards Xue Wuhen with a resolute determination to annihilate everything.
Upon seeing this, Xue Wuhen's last trace of hope vanished, replaced by endless madness and ruthlessness.
He knew that not only would he fail to take the divine bird's egg with him today, but he would also likely perish here.
"Since that's the case, let's die together!"
"A sea of blood, a floating pagoda!"
He let out a roar, and his life essence gushed out without reservation, instantly condensing in mid-air into a ferocious pagoda a hundred feet tall, made of viscous blood.
On the tower, countless pained and distorted faces floated up and down, emitting silent wails. A terrifying aura that threatened to drag all things into a blood-soaked hell suddenly erupted and pressed down on Wang Dao.
"Even a grain of rice can shine brightly?!"
Wang Dao roared, and the thunder furnace within his body roared, erupting crimson blood energy like a volcano.
In an instant, a terrifying torrent of blood and qi shot straight into the sky, dyeing the sky above this lava zone a domineering and incomparable crimson.
The sheer purity and power of that energy caused even Xue Wuhen, who was casting a spell, to tremble.
"Impossible!" he screamed, "You're only at the Thunder Furnace Realm, how could you possess such terrifying power?!"
Despite his fear, he still exerted all his strength, pushing the Blood Sea Pagoda to its limit and smashing it fiercely towards Wang Dao.
Wang Dao coldly stared at the blood tower, the Dragon Abyss Sword in his hand humming once more.
"Extreme Realm: Flowing Light and Illusory Dust Sword!"
The phantoms appeared once more.
This time, there were more phantoms than before. Thousands upon thousands of King Dao figures wielding longswords covered the sky like a tsunami of swords that swept across the heavens and earth, instantly engulfing the Blood Sea Pagoda and the Bloodless Trace behind it.
"Hiss hiss hiss hiss—!"
Under the endless barrage of sword light, the Blood Sea Pagoda couldn't even last a single breath before being crushed and turned into a rain of blood.
Bloodless, at the center of the storm, didn't even have time to utter a scream before being pierced through by countless sword energies, his entire body exploding into a cloud of blood mist.
However, at the very moment the blood mist exploded, the Blood God Disc suddenly burst forth with a blinding red light, enveloping a wisp of the core blood light, tearing through the void at an incomprehensible speed, and instantly disappearing into the horizon.
A roar filled with boundless rage echoed from the vanishing crimson light, reverberating across the entire lava-covered land:
"Silver Mask! I, Bloodless, swear that I will not rest until this grudge is avenged!"
"I, Blood River Heaven, will surely raze your entire Wusheng Heaven clan to the ground!!!"
