Chapter 2670 Best Circumstances
Chapter 2670 Best Circumstances
Sensing the reaction of the Demon Lord Luo Luo after he offered up the blood bead, Qin Sang could roughly guess what had happened before.
The Demon Lord Luo Luo was covered in blood and looked terrible. This was partly due to his inability to defeat the spider demons, but it was also partly due to his own actions. Otherwise, if the Demon Lord Luo Luo's domain had not been broken, he wouldn't have been repeatedly injured by the spider demons, resulting in such severe injuries.
The essence blood that was scattered was a trap for the spider demon insects!
It makes sense when you think about it. Before he joined the battle, Demon Lord Luo Luo fought the Spider Demon Insects alone and was completely outmatched. If he wanted to escape or even turn the tide, he had to put himself in a life-or-death situation.
The Demon Lord Luo Luo licked the blood from the corner of his mouth, his face covered in blood, and his expression was somewhat ferocious.
The blood droplet spun rapidly, emitting a rich, bloody light.
Inside the blood bead, there seemed to be a vast space where streaks of blood light chased each other, eventually transforming into countless mysterious blood runes. As these runes fell, they formed an exceptionally grand and complex blood array.
Upon seeing the blood array, Qin Sang felt a surge of vital energy, as if it were about to be absorbed by the array.
The moment the blood array took shape, this magnificent formation simultaneously manifested in the outside world.
Inside and outside the battlefield, mottled blood-red light appeared, like splattered blood, stretching from the battlefield to the far distance. Through this blood-red light, one could see the trajectory of the battle between the Demon Lord Luo Luo and the demonic insects.
'Snapped! '
The blood droplet suddenly shattered.
The blood array did not disappear; it appeared in reality and immediately formed a complete array, with the essence blood of the Demon Lord Luo Luo becoming the cornerstone of its construction.
At this moment, Qin Sang was also in the blood array. She felt the fluctuations emanating from the blood array and couldn't help but be secretly surprised.
Logically speaking, it is difficult for two Nascent Soul cultivators to make use of the power of formations in an encounter. Whether it is a battle formation, a formation diagram, or a formation artifact, it requires a process of setting up the formation. Nascent Soul cultivators have exceptionally sharp spiritual senses, so it is almost impossible to lure them into a trap without their knowledge.
The blood array set up by Demon Lord Luo Luo was completed in an instant, giving the enemy no time to react. Of course, the cost was not small, as it required the consumption of Demon Lord Luo Luo's essence blood. The blood bead also seemed to be a one-time use item.
The telepathic transmission from the Demon Lord Luo Luo also confirmed this.
"This is the Blood Jade of the Broken Sky that I obtained with my war merits back then, and it has been wasted on this demon slave! Fellow Daoist, help me, you must kill this fiend," said Demon Lord Luo Luo with hatred.
Along with the telepathic message, the secrets of this blood array were also transmitted. In this way, Qin Sang could move freely in and out of the blood array, just like Luo Luo Demon Lord, and the spider demon insects became the only trapped beasts in the array!
"It seems I don't need to use my dual domains anymore..." Qin Sang thought to himself after understanding the power of this Remnant Heaven Blood Array.
If even such treasures can be obtained, it seems that fighting on the front lines of the demonic tide is not only dangerous, but also accompanied by great opportunities.
That Lord Yinshan had a distinguished military record and must have possessed even more treasures. Unfortunately, he encountered the Vermilion Bird. If it were anyone else, they probably wouldn't have been a match for the Lord Yinshan.
In a flash, Qin Sang saw a violent change occurring inside the blood array, with blood light gathering and transforming into numerous blood mirrors.
Countless blood mirrors appeared on the battlefield, everywhere—up, down, left, and right. Each mirror seemed to contain its own independent space, the interior of which was also blood-red, creating an eerie atmosphere.
All the blood mirrors shone on the spider demon insects, and in an instant, countless phantom images of demon insects appeared on the battlefield.
The true form of the spider demon insect vanished from Qin Sang's sight, as if it had been sucked into a series of blood mirrors, separated into different spaces, making it impossible to distinguish which was real and which was an illusion.
The sharp whistling sound was incessant.
Sensing the danger, the spider demon worm frantically lashed out with its limbs, creating a raging storm that shattered the blood mirrors in large pieces. However, there were too many blood mirrors to count, and the spider demon worm's attack only destroyed a small portion of them.
It seemed to be truly trapped inside the blood mirrors. Then, following the guidance of Demon Lord Luo Luo, Qin Sang and the Thunder Beast Warriors successively entered the blood mirrors.
The next moment, his and Thunder Beast Guard's figures were reflected in the blood mirror again, one appearing above the Spider Demon Worm's head, and the other blocking in front of the Spider Demon Worm.
Qin Sang's Dharma Body and Yang God simultaneously activated their Dharma Domains, and the spider demon insects were immediately subjected to sword slashes and fire burns.
When cultivators at the Integration Realm clash, once their Law Domain reveals a flaw, it takes several times or even ten times the price to repair it. At this moment, the Spider Demon Insect is besieged by Qin Sang and the Thunder Beast Guards, and has no chance to repair its flaw.
Qin Sang tightly gripped the crack in the enemy's domain, conquering territory within it, while the Thunder Beast Guards engaged in direct combat with the Spider Demon Worms, preventing them from attacking the Blood Array.
At this moment, Demon Lord Luo Luo withdrew his domain of magic, and it was unclear what he was doing.
Not long after, Qin Sang's expression shifted slightly. Just now, the power of the spider demon's domain was suddenly weakened by one layer. A gap appeared out of thin air in the place where the spider demon was desperately trying to repair, allowing the sword light and raging fire to penetrate unimpeded.
This was not due to his efforts or those of the Thunder Beast Guards.
Qin Sang focused her mind on the blood array and discovered that a portion of the blood mirror had just shattered. It wasn't damaged by the spider demon insects; otherwise, it would have shattered into pieces like before. This was the work of the Demon Lord Luo Luo!
It seems that what we saw before was not just the surface. This piece of Remnant Heaven Blood Jade really divided the Spider Demon Insect's domain into several blood mirrors. If Demon Lord Luoluo shatters the blood mirrors, he can directly weaken the Spider Demon Insect's domain.
How exactly?
Qin Sang was increasingly astonished. No wonder Demon Lord Luo Luo was so heartbroken. This treasure was definitely a powerful weapon in combat. Once it trapped an enemy, it could cut through the enemy's domain bit by bit, like cutting flesh, until the enemy lost the ability to fight back.
However, the Blood Array must have its limitations. If he and the Thunder Beast Guard hadn't entangled the Spider Demon Worms, preventing the Demon Lord Luo Luo from concentrating on activating the Blood Array, he probably would have had to take the opportunity to escape this place and get rid of the Spider Demon Worms' pursuit.
'Bang! Bang! Bang!'
More and more blood mirrors are shattering.
The Demon Lord Luo Luo wielded a knife, slashing through the air, one cut after another, slicing through the spider demon's domain. He didn't actually cut a piece of its domain, but rather directly destroyed its very foundation.
Inside the spider demon's transparent body, strange phenomena appeared frequently, with cracks resembling spatial rifts appearing, making it almost unable to maintain the shape of its body.
The spider demon worm went completely berserk, but it was unable to break through the blockade of Qin Sang and the Thunder Beast Guard.
To make matters worse, the demon king-level demonic insects that it had captured into its domain had been almost entirely hunted down by Xiao Wu, leaving the spider demonic insect 'alone'.
'Shuh! '
Five-colored divine light burst forth from the insect's body, and Xiao Wu transformed, standing gracefully on the shoulder of the Thunder Beast Warrior.
Amidst the vortex of the great battle, Xiao Wu remained calm, his fingers flashing as five-colored divine light and thunder spears advanced side by side to confront the spider demon worms.
With Xiao Wu's help, the Thunder Beast Warriors were greatly encouraged, completely extinguishing any hope that the Spider Demon Worms could destroy the Blood Array.
At this moment, the spider demon worms had become fish on the chopping block, and the magic domain was constantly being ravaged by the blood array, its aura becoming increasingly weak.
With the Spider Demon's demise now a foregone conclusion, the Devouring Universe Demon Kingdom is powerless to reverse its decline. If things continue this way, they might even be able to capture the Spider Demon alive.
Just then, Qin Sang suddenly felt a strong sense of alarm, and at the same time heard the Demon Lord Luo Luo's low shout, "Be careful!"
What does it want to do?
Qin Sang sensed the crazed intent emanating from the spider demon and her expression changed slightly.
This demonic insect actually wanted to take them all down with it!
Their worst fears came true. Being in the Demon Kingdom of the Vermin, the Spider Demons had all the advantages of timing, location, and people, and they were bound to have some unexpected supernatural abilities that were unpredictable.
Despite having the upper hand, Qin Sang and Demon Lord Luo Luo dared not relax their guard in the slightest.
The spider demon was already very weak, but Qin Sang and Demon Lord Luo Luo were unable to stop it.
'boom!'
The Thunder Spear flew out of his hand and, together with the Five-Colored Divine Light, slammed into the insect's body, knocking it back once more. The Thunder Beast Guard then flew backward with Xiao Wu.
Qin Sang also spared no effort, simultaneously unleashing the Sun and Moon Twin Swords and the Qilin Lotus Planting Technique.
'Shuh! '
After putting away both the Thunder Beast Guard and Xiao Wu, Qin Sang took a step forward, her body moving like a ghost, her figure flashing on dozens of blood mirrors before appearing outside the blood array.
The next moment, Demon Lord Luo Luo appeared beside him, a fierce glint flashing deep in his eyes.
The Blood Jade of the Broken Sky was a one-time use treasure, so Demon Lord Luo Luo simply detonated the power of the Blood Array.
The blood array suddenly contracted inward, shrinking into a blood bead only the size of a fist. Through the blood mirrors, the crazed spider demon worm could be clearly seen!
'boom!'
The blood droplet suddenly exploded.
Qin Sang and Demon Lord Luo Luo both paled and quickly fled to a distance, staring in horror at the battlefield.
A blood-red hole was blasted open in the void. Whether it was the blood light of the blood array or the essence of the spider demon worm, it turned into countless turbulent currents, frantically tearing everything around the battlefield. It would not be an exaggeration to describe it as the sky collapsing and the earth sinking.
The spider demon worm's presence can no longer be sensed from the turbulent currents; it seems this demon lord-level demon worm has perished!
Having finally slain the demonic insects, Demon Lord Luo Luo did not feel relieved; instead, he kept looking up at the sky.
Qin Sang guessed what Demon Lord Luo Luo was thinking and said, "It seems that this guy is not valued by the Demon Lord."
If they are favored by the Demon Lord of the Destroyer of the Universe, they may have already been subjected to divine punishment.
However, they did not flee immediately. They were in the Demon Kingdom of the Devil, and if the Demon Lord of the Devil Kingdom was watching them, there was no point in running away.
"Fortunately, with the help of fellow Daoists, this fiend was not given the chance to plead with the Demon Lord," Demon Lord Luo Luo took a deep breath, revealing his exhaustion.
Although he did attempt to unleash the Blood Jade of the Broken Heaven, he was indeed injured by the Spider Demon Insects and lost a significant amount of his essence and blood.
At this moment, Qin Sang noticed that there were still remnants of the insect swarm around him, so he released the Thunder Beast Guards.
Such opportunities for unbridled killing are rare, and the next step is to erase all traces to avoid being hunted down.
"What would happen if, within the Demon Kingdom, the Heavenly Demon's retinue successfully pleaded with the Demon Lord?" Qin Sang asked seriously.
Lord Luo Luo shook his head.
Qin Sang's mood grew heavier. Falling into the Northern Demon Realm was not the most terrifying thing, nor was being hunted down by the Heavenly Demon's followers. The most terrifying thing was that some of the Heavenly Demon's followers could pray to the Demon Lord.
If the Demon Lord is alerted, whether he sends down an avatar or uses supernatural powers, it will be something they cannot withstand.
But at least they're alive now!
Although they didn't know how effective it would be, Qin Sang and Demon Lord Luo Luo did their best to clean up the battlefield and erase all traces.
The next problem they faced was: where should they go?
We must not remain in the Demon Kingdom of the Devil, but no one knows what lies outside of it.
“We can only go south,” said Demon Lord Luo Luo.
Qin Sang nodded and continued south, returning to the Demon Realm, which was the only way to survive.
"It must be something you did that caused the Thunder Sea to change, right? Since the Thunder Sea could send us here, why can't it send us back?" Qin Sang, the villain, accused Luo Luo Demon Lord first.
Heading south may seem like the way out, but countless demons await them ahead.
Lord Luoluo gave a bitter smile. Since things had come to this point, there was no point in hiding anything anymore.
"I did discover some secrets of Lei Yuan, but it backfired. If I'm not mistaken, Lei Jun may not have perished!"
"What did you say?"
Qin Sang's pupils contracted.
In fact, he had already guessed it; when he was in Lei Hai, he sensed that a certain aura was reviving.
Only a power at the level of a Demon Lord could shatter the giant monument and force back the Wrathful Demon Lord. The sea of lightning was the power left behind by the Thunder Lord; the Abyss of Nether Lightning had existed in the Star Sand Sea for countless years, and the three major sects were helpless against it, demonstrating that only the Thunder Lord himself could activate it.
"Did you awaken Lei Jun?" Qin Sang continued to press.
He wondered why Lei Jun would move them to the Northern Demon Realm. Was it a coincidence or intentional?
“But the one who awakens may not be Lei Jun, or rather, may not be Lei Jun’s true form,” Luo Luo Demon Lord said with some contradictions, and then gave Qin Sang a deep look. “Moreover, the change in the Thunder Sea should also have some credit to you, fellow Daoist.”
Qin Sang remained silent, lost in thought.
He thought of the pagoda and the relics. Could they be the seal left by the Holy Monk Lei Hai to suppress Lei Jun?
After taking the pagoda and relics, the seal lost its power to suppress, and thus the Thunder Sea began to revive.
Luo Luo Demon Lord continued, "In any case, this matter must be related to Lei Jun. If these Thunder Swamps are Lei Jun's hidden handiwork, perhaps there is something he is worried about in the Holy Realm, and he would rather be resurrected in the Demon Realm. Unfortunately, we were brought here together... For you and me, this may be the best situation."
Qin Sang nodded, knowing why he said this was the best-case scenario.
If Lei Jun were to be resurrected in the Northern Demon Realm, he would become the biggest target. All the Heavenly Demons would be eager to corrupt the Demon Lord. A Demon Lord who is being resurrected is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and the Heavenly Demons would surely flock to him!
When Lei Jun attracts the Heavenly Demon, the pressure on the two of them will be greatly reduced.
After a moment of contemplation, Qin Sang sighed again. These were all just their speculations; what they needed to consider now was what to do next.
He and Lord Luoluo had just killed a spider demon insect, and there was a high chance that more and stronger demon insects would come after them. They hoped to shake off their pursuers!
"go!"
They tried their best to erase any traces, and not daring to linger, they used their escape techniques to fly straight south.
……
After they left, it is unknown how much time had passed.
The turbulence has subsided, but the battlefield is unrecognizable.
Suddenly, a sound like tearing silk came from the void, as a sharp spike ripped open a crack.
Then, a sharp spike emerged from the depths of the crack—it was a limb covered in razor-sharp blades! (End of Chapter)
