"BZZZ!!!"

With this thought, Fang Xing instantly pushed his Red Fire Divine Skill to its absolute limit.

The Red Flame blazed, forming a Red Flame Long Saber.

"SLASH!!!"

With a single slash, the long saber forged from Red Flame True Qi utterly annihilated several blood shadows.

It cleared a small area.

Seeing this, the disciples from the Supreme Profound Upper Sect also began conjuring flames with their True Qi.

Even without having practiced a Fire Attribute Martial Art, one could still conjure flames upon reaching the True Qi Realm.

This was the very essence of the "True" in the True Qi Realm.

However, no sooner had they destroyed one wave than a much larger group of blood shadows suddenly swarmed them, causing the expressions of the Supreme Profound Upper Sect disciples to turn grim.

’They were both using flames, so why did only his work?’

’Has he cultivated some kind of special Fire Attribute Divine Skill?’

The thought instantly occurred to the Supreme Profound Upper Sect disciples.

’That had to be the only explanation.’

’The effects of a special Fire Attribute Divine Skill would be completely different.’

’The Flame Attribute of flames conjured in the True Qi Realm was only equivalent to that of an ordinary fire-based Martial Art.’

With this realization, the group from the Supreme Profound Upper Sect instantly moved toward Fang Xing.

They couldn’t kill the blood shadows; killing them only made more appear. If they were careless enough to be possessed, their qi and blood would be drained. Even True Qi Realm Martial Artists couldn’t withstand that.

True Qi Protection couldn’t block the blood shadows’ possession.

The shadows could penetrate it just by getting close.

The group gathered together, working as one to repel the charging horde of blood shadows.

Under these circumstances, only Fang Xing’s Red Fire Divine Skill could destroy the shadows completely.

Fang Xing didn’t hold back, pushing his Red Fire Divine Skill to its limit and enveloping his entire body in Red Flame True Qi.

"VMMMM—!!"

Red Flame Incineration!

He unleashed the Red Fire Divine Palm. A single strike sent forth a sea of fire, clearing a large swath of blood shadows.

Now that he had reached the True Qi Realm, the true power of the Red Fire Divine Palm was beginning to manifest.

Before the True Qi Realm, the Red Fire Divine Palm could only display a tenth of its true power.

Having mastered the Red Flame Realm of the skill, the power of his Red Fire Divine Skill was now worlds apart from what it had been at the Peak of Neutralizing Force.

After clearing one patch of blood shadows, Fang Xing continued his assault on the others.

No one knew if or how the Blood Demon Array might change.

Even Shen Ye’s knowledge of it was incomplete.

...

"AHHH!!!"

"NO!!"

"HELP ME!"

At the same time, a series of bloodcurdling screams erupted from the forest on the island.

Exorcists were falling one after another.

With Fang Xing and the others trapped, the Great Demon Profound Flood Dragon began its rampage.

Against a Great Demon at the level of an Initial Realm Demon King, anyone without a True Qi Realm cultivation wasn’t even qualified to resist.

It was a one-sided slaughter!

The Profound Flood Dragon roared, and the waters of Dongting Lake erupted. In an instant, a dozen more Demons and Monsters emerged from the lake.

They blockaded Lake Heart Island!

The screams rose and fell in waves.

The Exorcists scattered and fled while fear and panic spread across Lake Heart Island.

Faced with the Great Demon Profound Flood Dragon, the gap in power was enough to drive anyone to despair.

It was an absolute rout.

Swallowed in a single bite.

The coordination between the Blood Demon Sect and the Demons and Monsters was nearly perfect.

The number of Exorcists on the island was plummeting.

—

「Meanwhile, in the depths of Lake Heart Island.」

Six members of the Blood Demon Sect activated their Compasses, and each one emanated a scarlet light.

The Array had everyone completely trapped.

With the power of the Blood Demon Array, even Upper Sect Disciples were doomed to die.

The Array was their furnace, the people their medicine!

In the eyes of the Blood Demon Sect members, these people were nothing more than top-grade "Divine Pills" in the making!

"Put your backs into it! Once we refine them and absorb their blood essence, our cultivation will ascend to the next level."

One of them spoke, and at his words, the others immediately increased their output of True Qi.

In an instant, the scarlet miasma within the Array grew even thicker.

"This is bad!"

Just then, one of the Blood Demon Sect member’s expressions changed drastically as he stared, transfixed, at the Blood-Colored Compass hovering before him.
