Chapter 157 Destroying Demons
Everything happened in the blink of an eye, faster than Luo Ming and Wen Tianren could comprehend.
The buzzing of the Bloodthirsty Blade suddenly rose, turning into a sharp, piercing howl that seemed to come from the depths of the netherworld! The flickering sealing patterns on the blade suddenly shrank inward, and then, like fragile glass, shattered completely with a soft "pop"!
It wasn't destruction from the outside in, but rather something within that actively broke through the final layer of constraints!
"Ah—!!!" Liu Shi's last short and shrill scream came to an abrupt end in Luo Ming's mind. His primordial spirit aura vanished without a trace, like a flame swallowed by a black hole.
The next moment, the Bloodthirsty Blade completely broke free from Luo Ming's control and shot out of its sheath on its own! It was no longer a blade, but a dark red blood light condensed to the extreme, so fast that even divine sense could not catch it, exuding a greedy, violent and ancient aura that could freeze one's soul.
The crimson light first rushed towards the massive, earthen-yellow demon that was striding heavily and throwing another punch. The demon's phantom seemed to sense the deadly threat as well, roaring as it pushed its demonic energy to its peak, its giant fist erupting with a hazy yellow light as it slammed into the crimson light.
However, the blood-red light neither dodged nor avoided it. The instant it made contact with the giant fist, it suddenly expanded, transforming into a rapidly spinning, bottomless dark red vortex! The edges of the vortex flowed with a viscous, blood-like luster, emitting an irresistible suction force.
The mighty True Demon's fist, powerful enough to shatter mountains, crashed into the vortex, but it was like a mud ox entering the sea, barely even causing a ripple.
Then, a terrifying scene unfolded.
The vortex's suction force spread upwards along the True Demon's arm. Its enormous body, formed from pure demonic energy and the true demon's intent, rapidly collapsed and melted like a snowman encountering boiling water, turning into streams of demonic energy that were greedily devoured by the dark red vortex! The True Demon roared in unwillingness and struggled desperately, but to no avail. In just two or three breaths, its dozens of feet tall demonic body completely disappeared, swallowed up entirely by the vortex!
Having devoured the earth-attribute true demon, the dark red light seemed to solidify slightly, its shriek becoming even more joyful and piercing. Without pausing, it flashed its blood-red light and appeared before the dark golden, sharp true demon that was swinging its blade at it.
The Dark Gold True Demon reacted with lightning speed, its giant blade slicing through space, slashing down with a sharp intent that could cut through anything. The vortex of blood-red light neither dodged nor evaded, directly meeting the blade's edge.
laugh--!
The giant blade plunged into the vortex, yet remained as if it were nothingness. Even the sharp, demonic intent that could annihilate the soul of a Core Formation cultivator was easily swallowed by the vortex.
Just like before, a terrifying suction force erupted, and the dark gold demon, along with the giant blade in its hand, began to rapidly decompose and dissolve, turning into pure energy that was swallowed and absorbed by the vortex. This demon struggled even more violently, its dark gold demonic energy bursting out and cutting wildly, but it couldn't shake the strange blood-red vortex in the slightest. Following in its predecessor's footsteps, it vanished into thin air in a short moment.
From the mutation of the Bloodthirsty Blade to the complete devouring of two powerful demonic shadows at the late Core Formation stage, only a few breaths had passed.
The sky seemed to fall silent for a moment.
The coldness and murderous intent on Wen Tianren's face had vanished, replaced by unparalleled horror and disbelief. His face turned deathly pale, his body swayed violently, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood.
Those two demonic phantoms were formed by him after he had achieved minor success in the Six Extremes True Demon Art, using immense effort and resources, and were connected to his mind. Now, being devoured by the strange entity not only increased the difficulty of summoning the holy demonic phantoms to descend later, but also caused his soul to be struck as if by a heavy hammer, resulting in excruciating pain and dizziness, and he suffered a severe backlash.
His gaze towards Luo Ming was filled with astonishment and a deeply hidden fear. What kind of magical artifact was this? Or some strange demonic power? How could it so easily devour the demon he had summoned with his True Demonic Arts!
"You...!" Wen Tianren was both shocked and furious, but more than that, he was wary of the eerie blood-red light. He forcibly suppressed the churning blood and the pain in his soul, and without hesitation, he patted his storage bag. A snow-white pill the size of a longan, emitting a refreshing fragrance, was swallowed into his stomach, and his expression eased slightly.
He dared not linger for a moment, and without even having time to feel sorry for the damaged Purple Cloud Banner, he reached out and the sea of clouds formed by the Purple Cloud Banner rapidly contracted, firmly protecting his body. He then transformed into a purple rainbow and shot off into the distance without looking back, his speed far exceeding that of when he came!
Luo Ming was equally shocked. He looked at the Bloodthirsty Blade, which was suspended in mid-air, had become even deeper and darker red after devouring the two demonic shadows, and whose surface was even beginning to swirl with wisps of pure demonic energy. He felt no joy, only a chilling coldness.
Liu Shi's primordial spirit was instantly annihilated, and the Bloodthirsty Blade went completely out of control, displaying such terrifying and bizarre abilities...
This is no place to linger! Wen Tianren has escaped, but this Bloodthirsty Blade has clearly become a bigger problem!
Luo Ming reacted extremely quickly. The instant Wen Tianren's escape light appeared, he also activated his own escape light at the same time, fleeing desperately in the opposite direction from Wen Tianren!
However, his escape light had only traveled less than a hundred feet.
The Bloodthirsty Blade, which had been hovering in place after devouring the two demonic shadows, seemed to "sense" his escape. Its blade trembled slightly, and the swirling demonic energy receded somewhat. Then, it moved again!
Without any earth-shattering display, it simply transformed into an inconspicuous streak of dark light, flickered slightly, and then, seemingly ignoring spatial distance, appeared directly behind Luo Ming!
Luo Ming's divine sense caught this bizarre scene, and he was so frightened that his soul almost left his body. He desperately urged his magic power to increase his escape speed to the extreme, and at the same time, the Xuan Gang Shield instantly covered his entire body.
But all of this was in vain.
The dark blade flashed again—this time it was a true teleportation! Luo Ming felt a slight chill in his dantian, as if something cold and slippery had entered it.
He looked inward in horror and saw that the bloodthirsty blade, which had turned black and was faintly filled with demonic energy, was now quietly floating next to his golden core, as if it had never left.
The blade hummed slightly, emanating a satisfied yet eerie sense of silence. The violent and ferocious aura that had devoured the true demon had completely subsided, but Luo Ming could clearly feel a cold and powerful alien aura emanating from the blade, forming a faint but chilling connection with his own magic power and even his golden core.
He tried to activate and communicate with the Bloodthirsty Blade using his mind, but it did not respond at all, as if it were asleep or silently observing.
Above the sea, only Luo Ming remained hovering, his expression shifting constantly. The powerful enemy had temporarily retreated, but an even stranger and more uncontrollable "thing" had taken up residence in his dantian.
Seeing the Bloodthirsty Blade return to his dantian on its own, though temporarily dormant, it was as if a strange seed had been planted within him that might erupt at any moment. Luo Ming was filled with apprehension.
