Chapter 442: Chapter 401: (Cultivation) Blood Sea Ancestor

The four worked in unison, with Jiang Yuebai using numerous techniques to engage from the front, Lu Nanzhi and Xie Jingshan attacking from both sides, and Shen Huaxi providing support from a distance.

Hundreds of Sword Auras intertwined and collided, and three figures moved as swiftly as flowing light, fiercely battling against Tian Nanxing.

Their unstoppable momentum deeply shocked Tian Nanxing.

Especially Jiang Yuebai’s Phoenix True Fire and Xie Jingshan’s Golden Crow True Fire, which made Tian Nanxing reluctant to face them head-on. His brow furrowed as a blood-red pollen formed a barrier in front of him, dissipating their attacks like mud entering the sea.

The pollen continuously corroded their Protective Gang Qi, but Xie Jingshan was unfazed, his body blazing with golden fire that surged out fiercely as he charged forward and slashed down, blowing away the pollen with a wave of air. The Supreme Yang and Firm Sword Qi transformed into the Huo Dou, roaring as it bit toward Tian Nanxing.

Seeing this, Jiang Yuebai’s heart trembled. With Xie Jingshan’s full-powered strike, vulnerabilities were exposed, and if Tian Nanxing struck, it would surely wound him severely.

But Tian Nanxing remained frowning and refrained from attacking Xie Jingshan, choosing instead to retreat.

Jiang Yuebai found it strange yet couldn’t understand why.

Tian Nanxing’s strength far surpassed theirs, and even teaming up, they found it hard to overcome him. And with Tian Nanxing sparing Xie Jingshan, Tian Nanxing could also hardly harm them.

Suddenly, a thunderous roar resounded from the direction of the Blood Sea; a water tornado converged at sea, with the boundless Blood Sea swirling upward, covering the entire sky and engulfing the Asura Domain.

Blood waves billowed overhead as torrents of blood rain descended from the sky, while ghosts throughout the Asura Domain wept tears of blood.

Jiang Yuebai and the others, along with Tian Nanxing, retreated, looking up to the sky.

The blood rain struck their Protective Gang Qi, and a violent, murderous intent instantly invaded their Sea of Consciousness. Lu Nanzhi’s body raged with Demonic Qi, and Xie Jingshan’s head throbbed painfully.

"The Blood Sea Ancestor is about to awaken! We must leave immediately!"

Shen Huaxi reached the three, his body also losing control amidst the blood rain, spiraling with Yin Qi.

Tian Nanxing, out of patience, suddenly increased in momentum, and an irresistible force lashed out, sending the three flying and leaving only Jiang Yuebai behind.

Tian Nanxing’s hand formed a claw, and the pressure of a Nascent Soul bore down, striking toward Jiang Yuebai’s face.

Just as Jiang Yuebai was about to use Smoke Escape to evade, she suddenly sensed something and fell to the ground of her own accord.

A radiant five-colored light broke through the air, with the Glazed Treasure Tower, full of roaring thunder, crashing down heavily onto Tian Nanxing’s head.

Boom!

The ground shook and mountains trembled; the earth cracked under the dazzling light of the Glazed Treasure Tower, with lightning spreading like ripples. Lii Jiuchuan, travel-worn, stood atop the tower, surveying everyone.

"How is everyone?"

Lu Nanzhi propped herself up with her sword, enduring painful injuries and shaking her head, while Xie Jingshan wiped blood from the corner of his mouth and reached out to pull Shen Huaxi up. Only Jiang Yuebai lay on the ground, face pale and weak, groaning.

"Master... you must... uphold justice for us!"

Lii Jiuchuan, having seen from afar that Jiang Yuebai had fallen of her own accord, did not expose her but instead nodded slightly, turning his gaze to the stumbling Tian Nanxing in the distance, arcs of electricity entangling him.

Lii Jiuchuan’s swift action had left Tian Nanxing half-crushed under the tower, barely escaping with severe injuries.

Above the Blood Sea, two figures appeared, Ling Guanghan slashing the sea in half, severing a pillar of blood rising to the heavens.

"Blood Sea Ancestor? Let me send you to meet the Buddha!"

True Monarch Cang Huo laughed and cursed, summoning a Great Cauldron, its mouth facing down towards the Blood Sea. Tremendous flames surged forth like a mountain torrent, fiercely burning the Blood Sea and halting the blood rain under the heated onslaught.

Seizing the moment, Tian Nanxing turned to flee.

Lii Jiuchuan appeared beside Jiang Yuebai, throwing a few items to her, "Keep these safe and leave first. We’ve got this covered."

As he finished speaking, Lii Jiuchuan shot into the sky, swiftly appearing before Tian Nanxing and delivering a forceful palm strike that sent him flying.

Unwilling to show weakness, Tian Nanxing knew Lii Jiuchuan wouldn’t spare him and retaliated with all his strength. The two figures interleaved in mid-air, colliding violently, with shockwaves from their Battle Method sweeping across the field, creating a mighty spectacle.

Jiang Yuebai and the others hurriedly retreated to a distance, with Xie Jingshan tightly gripping the Huo Dou Sword, intensely watching the fierce battle between Lii Jiuchuan and Tian Nanxing.

"If I don’t kill him with my own hands, how can I swallow this anger?"

Lu Nanzhi was covered in injuries, while Shen Huaxi performed a Spell to heal her, saying to Xie Jingshan, "Tian Nanxing is full of cunning; we truly are no match for him. We’d better leave it to True Monarch Jiuchuan and the others. My current concern isn’t him, but the Blood Sea Ancestor instead."

Lu Nanzhi looked at Shen Huaxi, who explained, "The Blood Sea Ancestor has power very close to the Divinity Transformation Stage. If he awakens, I fear the Yin Ghost Evils throughout the Asura Domain would fall under his influence, forming a Ghost Tide in an instant. Should it rush toward us, we wouldn’t stand a chance to escape."

Jiang Yuebai, while nervously observing the battle, listened to Shen Huaxi’s words and checked the items her master had given her.

Upon seeing them, Jiang Yuebai was overjoyed; it was her Condensing Light Mirror, Eight Arrays Plate, and Puppet Avatar — all her missing belongings had been recovered, except...

Why was her Puppet Avatar flattened?

Jiang Yuebai took out her Puppet Avatar, though oddly flattened, it remained usable.

"Now that my master and the others are here, it’s best we leave quickly to avoid causing distractions."

Jiang Yuebai extracted the Cloud-Breaking Charge, an item she had obtained from that Big Dog Thief in the Upper Realm. With its escape speed comparable to a Nascent Soul Cultivator, albeit consuming great amounts of Spiritual Energy, alternating between the three of them using it, in conjunction with Spirit Stone supplementation, escaping the Asura Domain wouldn’t be an issue.

Lu Nanzhi and Shen Huaxi nodded, while Xie Jingshan, begrudgingly, gritted his teeth before nodding too.

The Cloud-Breaking Charge sped like the wind towards the Blood Sea.

In that very moment, a huge blood claw shot up from beneath the Blood Sea, swatting Cang Huo and his cauldron aside, reaching for the Cloud-Breaking Charge crossing the Blood Sea.

Jiang Yuebai, controlling the Cloud-Breaking Charge, turned vigilant and hastily avoided it, while Ling Guanghan’s Sword Aura silently appeared and slammed into the blood claw, instantly shattering it into pieces.

Just when they thought they had escaped, the Blood Sea violently rolled back, forming a blood wall connecting heaven and earth, filled with wailing ghosts extending sharp claws.

The Cloud-Breaking Charge narrowly avoided crashing into the tide of ghost claws. Jiang Yuebai forcefully turned it around, swiftly flying upwards along the blood wall, which wrapped behind them, as blood tides rolled down from above with countless Evil Ghosts piling on, rushing toward the Cloud-Breaking Charge.

In this life-and-death race, the ear-piercing screams of Fierce Ghosts shook Jiang Yuebai’s Divine Soul, her head throbbing with pain. She gritted her teeth and pushed the Cloud-Breaking Charge to its maximum speed, flying as swift as a startling rainbow.

Ling Guanghan stood mid-air, with Sword Intent transforming into a towering green pine emerging from the depths of the Blood Sea, its proud bones piercing the sky.

The falling pine needles formed billions of Sword Auras, covering the sky and earth, charging into the blood wall with intimidating force, cleaving through Fierce Ghosts to clear a path for the Cloud-Breaking Charge.

Roar!!

The ghostly wailing shook the heavens; in the center of the Blood Sea, a city crumbled inch by inch, as an enormous Blood Skull slowly rose from beneath the Blood Sea.

Ultimately, the entire sky was still wrapped by the monstrous Blood Sea, sealing off both heaven and earth, leaving no escape.
