Chapter 426 -423: Demon Saber Huaxue – A Gift from Senior Sister
Ning Wuxu and the Supreme Elder of the White Tiger Lineage, Yin Beifeng, gathered their disciples, following the scent of Daoist Huaxue to find his lair and, in passing, exterminate all his disciples and apprentices.
Under their command, numerous disciples from the two lineages quickly took flight, following their lead.
It was not that the disciples of the other lineages couldn’t join them; it’s just that it was better for disciples of a single lineage to stick together in large-scale battles. If various lineages were mixed, it would be difficult to form a combat formation to face the enemy.
“Junior Brother Qin!”
A crisp call reached his ears.
Qin Feng turned to look, seeing Li Miaozhen sitting cross-legged on the back of the White Tiger, waving at him.
Seeing that it was her, Qin Feng couldn’t help but smile, “Senior Sister Li, are you also planning to take a look at Old Demon Huaxue’s lair?”
As he spoke, his figure turned and he landed on the back of the White Tiger, which had grown much larger than before, and sat down beside Li Miaozhen without any hesitation. He also casually stroked the White Tiger’s fur.
“Mhm.”
Li Miaozhen shifted over to make some space for him and said nonchalantly, “There’s not much worth fighting here anymore. Although there are still many Demon Sect disciples in the Rebirth Palace, with a Demon Immortal in charge, breaking through their array would take at least two or three hours.
Even if we did break in, it would mainly be the Supreme Elders fighting against the high-ranking Yang God experts. In such a cramped space, it’s not good for me to join the fight. It’s better to follow the two Supreme Elders and kill some demon cultivators at the lair of the Blood God Sect.”
Hearing this, Qin Feng couldn’t help but wryly smile. This sister of his was truly belligerent!
The primary reason he had followed his master was to gain some benefits, while Li Miaozhen never thought about these things. What she truly cared about was whether there was a fight and if she could accumulate experience and opportunities to strengthen her abilities from the combat.
Li Miaozhen ended up in the Beast Taming Sect, but with her temperament, had she entered the War God Palace and practiced Martial Arts, she might have improved her strength even faster.
The two chatted casually, following the silhouettes of their sect mates flying ahead.
With a trace of Daoist Huaxue’s origin scent in his hand, it was a piece of cake for Ning Wuxu, a Supreme Elder of the Beast Taming Sect, to command spiritual beasts to find the direction from which Daoist Huaxue had come.
However, the journey was quite long, and it wasn’t until they reached a barren mountain peak thousands of miles away that they found the location of Daoist Huaxue’s lair.
Seeing the spiritual beasts circling continuously above the mountain peak, squeaking and refusing to move forward, a smile appeared on Ning Wuxu’s face. He waved his hand and stored the creatures in his Spiritual Beast Bag.
Then, suddenly, a Dragon and Snake Dharma Form, a thousand zhang in length, emerged from his body. He circled above the barren peak, coiling around it a few times. Suddenly, his form tightened, and boundless strength transmitted from the Dragon and Snake Dharma Form to the mountain, causing a cacophony of cracking as numerous boulders shattered.
Immediately after, a powerful surge of blood light rose from inside the mountain, forming a barrier that attempted to block the entangling Dragon and Snake.
“Who dares barge in here? Do you know whose cave mansion this is?”
A voice questioned from inside the mountain, and at the same time, a powerful divine sense probed outwards.
“I hear Old Demon Huaxue has only one disciple who has become a Demon Immortal, and that must be you.”
“You’re aware of my master’s fearsome reputation, yet you dare to provoke us—are you seeking death?”
The voice inside did not emerge but rebuked, “Take heed, my master is presently in secluded cultivation. Do not disturb us; leave at once. Otherwise, if you startle my master’s cultivation, I will surely turn you all into Blood Gods to teach you the consequences of disturbing his seclusion.”
“Bluffing!”
Ning Wuxu sneered, “Old Demon Huaxue is currently besieged by Elder Kongkong of our Beast Taming Sect and Wang Zhuding of the Divine Weapon Family outside the Rebirth Sect, without even a chance to escape. And yet you dare to threaten us with Old Demon Huaxue—it’s utterly preposterous!”
“What, you all…”
“We’ve come today to eliminate you demon cultivators.”
Before the voice inside could finish speaking, Ning Wuxu huffed and the Dragon and Snake Dharma Form soared into the sky, no longer relying on the entanglement to deal with the blood light barrier below.
Circling in the void, Ning Wuxu stood atop the Dragon Head.
With a flick of his finger, the imposing eyes of the Dragon and Snake suddenly emitted two beams of Divine Light, surveying the entire mountain encompassed by the blood light shield. With a sudden opening of its mouth, the Dragon and Snake spewed out a stream of pitch-black Xuanming True Water, aiming directly at a vital spot at the heart of the peak.
With thunderous blasts, the blood light shook and the barrier wobbled, revealing a blood-red cave behind the defensive shield.
“How dare you!”
The voice from within bellowed, and a ray of blood light flew out, aiming a direct strike at the Dragon and Snake Dharma Form hovering in midair.
“Roar…”
Suddenly, a deafening roar echoed through heaven and earth as the Supreme Elder of the White Tiger Lineage, Yin Beifeng, unleashed his aura. A White Tiger Holy Beast, eight hundred zhang in length, emerged, and from its roaring mouth, a boundless gale erupted, repelling the blood light attack.
Only then did Qin Feng and the others clearly see that the blood light was actually a bizarre seven-foot-long blood-colored long sword.
“The Blood Transformation Saber?”
Some of the elders, upon seeing the saber, exclaimed aloud.
This was the Blood God Sect’s most notoriously sinister magical treasure. Any life form wounded by it would have its essence blood and soul utterly consumed by the Blood Transformation Saber, leaving no trace of soul or spirit light. Thus, it was the magical treasure that cultivators of the Righteous Path most feared, and no one dared to let such a demon weapon approach.
However, this treasure was incredibly difficult to refine.
Because the materials needed for its refining were not external, but the cultivator’s own body.
To craft the Blood Transformation Saber, a Blood God Sect cultivator would have to inscribe 36,000 demon runes on their body, each one bringing endless torment. In the end, numerous methods would be required to refine their body into the body of the saber, a pain unknown to outsiders.
So this was a technique that transformed oneself into a demonic weapon of the Demon Path. Once refined, one could freely shift between human form and sword form, and also rapidly absorb power for cultivation. However, due to the excessively painful and cruel process, even within the Blood God Sect, few dared to practice it.
Nevertheless, those who achieved some success were all decisive in killing, sharp in combat, and feared by others.
Unexpectedly, Xue Wuya had actually sacrificed and refined such a demonic weapon; his temperament indeed was fierce and formidable.
With a flash of blood light, the Blood Transformation Saber turned back into human form.
Xue Wuya’s eyes were cold and ruthless as he looked towards the crowd, “Disciples of the Beast Taming Sect, you’re courting death!”
“How arrogant!”
Yin Beifeng scoffed, “Although you, demon, have managed to refine the Blood Transformation Saber, it’s impossible for you to defeat both of us.
However, we cannot let you go today either. Otherwise, with the sharpness of your Blood Transformation Saber, who knows how many fellow daoist cultivators you would harm in the future. It would be better to cut you down sooner rather than later!”
“Just you two think you’re worthy of killing me?”
A cold smile appeared on Xue Wuya’s face as he moved. Though still in human form, he gave off a flat, blade-like impression. Leaning forward, he slashed towards Yin Beifeng as quickly as lightning.
Where the blade light passed, the void was like ice as it was slashed open with cracks.
“You have a blade, and you think I don’t?”
Yin Beifeng bellowed, suddenly drawing a nine-foot long sword to cleave at the Blood Transformation Saber overhead.
He was the Supreme Elder of the White Tiger Lineage and had naturally cultivated the White Tiger Divine Technique and refined his own White Tiger Saber.
Even though his White Tiger Saber was different from those of Luo Zhancheng and Li Miaozhen, and even the power of the laws he had cultivated was somewhat different from the regular disciples of the White Tiger Lineage, its power was tremendously formidable.
Yin Beifeng had become an Immortal over ten thousand years ago and had previously campaigned in the Red Flame Demon Realm for many years. After nearly a hundred battles, he had broken through his cultivation realm and crossed the bottleneck to become a Heavenly Immortal, so his Dao cultivation was far deeper than that of Xue Wuya, and his combat power was incredibly formidable. Even the creepy and terrifying Blood Transformation Saber would not reduce his fighting strength as long as he was careful not to be injured by the demonic blade.
As the Elder brandished the White Tiger Saber, the surrounding space for thousands of feet was immediately filled with a mix of blade light and blood brilliance—traces and power left behind from his clash with Xue Wuya.
The disciples of the Beast Taming Sect, led by several powerful Elders from the Inner Sect, retreated backward, staying clear of the combat area. Otherwise, if Xue Wuya broke through Yin Beifeng’s interception and attacked their side, these disciples would suffer heavy losses.
However, Xue Wuya was merely wielding the vicious power of the Blood Transformation Saber to exert his brutality, and in terms of cultivation combat power, he was no match for the likes of Yin Beifeng, a Heavenly Immortal. Furthermore, with Ning Wuxu locking onto his aura with Divine Sense from the periphery, Xue Wuya found it difficult to concentrate on Yin Beifeng. After some time, he was at a disadvantage.
“Have the guts to fight me one-on-one!”
Xue Wuya shouted angrily.
Ning Wuxu laughed, “I didn’t intervene, did I? Oh, by the tone of your words, could it be that you think Elder Yin alone can’t deal with you and you want us to gang up on you?
Since that’s the case, I shall oblige!”
With that said, a flicker of Divine Light shot from his eyes, aiming straight at the Blood Transformation Saber.
Clang…
A light sound, and two beams of Divine Light fixed the Blood Transformation Saber in place for an instant. Although the Blood Transformation Saber soon shattered Ning Wuxu’s imprisonment with the surging blood brilliance, it was already too late—Yin Beifeng had taken the opportunity to land a strike on the Blood Transformation Saber.
Though the Blood Transformation Saber was tough and unlikely to be severed by his sword, the blow caused the blade to tremble violently and its aura to scatter, startling Xue Wuya into hurriedly retreating.
If he had been even a fraction slower, Yin Beifeng would have relentlessly launched a series of fierce attacks, forcing him to take the blows head-on, ultimately reducing his ability to unleash the full power of the Blood Transformation Saber, turning him into nothing more than a brute force to be reckoned with.
“Despicable!”
Xue Wuya cursed loudly, “Cultivators of the Righteous Path are all so shameless, two against one, what skill is there in that!”
But Ning Wuxu appeared indifferent, “To deal with demon cultivators like you, do you expect us to talk about the rules of the Cultivation World with you?”
He mocked with his words, and his actions were incessant as various spells and divine skills bombarded Xue Wuya.
Xue Wuya struggled to defend, but alone he was utterly unable to withstand the assault from both men.
Although Ning Wuxu had only been an Immortal for a few years, he had a strong foundation. During his tribulation crossing, he received many benefits. After advancing, he mastered several formidable techniques. Now, as he demonstrated these skills, they seamlessly blended with Yin Beifeng’s attacks, greatly increasing their destructive power. It wasn’t long before Xue Wuya had no choice but to retreat back into the Array to defend, relying on it for protection.
However, though the Array was powerful, the Blood God Sect was not proficient in arrays, so it was not impenetrable. Moreover, Ning Wuxu and the others had prepared items to break the Array in advance.
Using various methods, they broke the Array in less than half an hour, revealing the bloody entrance beyond.
“Kill! Follow me and kill our way in! Eliminate these demon cultivators completely; not a single one shall be spared!”
With Elder Yin Beifeng’s battle cry, the cultivators of the Beast Taming Sect immediately followed suit, rushing into the Blood Cave.

Once inside, they realized why it was called the Blood Cave—it wasn’t just that the stone walls were crimson red and that there was a heavy stench of blood in the air; there were also numerous passages leading deeper inside, and the number of demon cultivators there was not few.
However, after scanning with their divine senses, the two Supreme Elders found that although there were many passages and demon cultivators, there were not too many traps. It was evident that the disciples and grandchildren of Daoist Huaxue treated this place as a cultivation site rather than a trap for outsiders. Thus, while there were many visible Array Formation Restrictions, overall there was no great danger.
Therefore, the two Supreme Elders went straight to fight Xue Wuya, leaving the disciples of the Blood God Sect who had not yet become Immortals to be dealt with by the cultivators from the two lineages.
In the beginning, Qin Feng had been following Li Miaozhen, working together to slay several demon cultivators. But as the battle continued, Qin Feng realized that Li Miaozhen was no longer by his side. Glancing around, he discovered that his Senior Sister had gotten carried away, chasing after several demon cultivators into a passage.
“Hey, Senior Sister, wait for me…”
Qin Feng called out and was about to follow when he was blocked by a demon cultivator from the Purple Mansion Realm.
“A Golden Core Cultivator from the Beast Taming Sect strays alone onto the battlefield without joining others in a War Formation? I see you have grown tired of living!”
Saying this, the Demon Cultivator shook his Blood Robe, which instantly transformed into a cloud of Blood Mist, enveloping Qin Feng with a thick stench of blood.
“Roar…”
Qin Feng reached out and pulled, directly bringing out the White Dragon.
Once the White Dragon appeared, it opened its mouth and breathed out a Dragon Breath, burning a massive hole through the Blood Mist formed by the Demon Cultivator’s Blood Robe.
Then, to the shock of the Demon Cultivator, the White Dragon lashed out with its tail.
Under the combined efforts of Qin Feng and the White Dragon, the Purple Mansion Demon Cultivator was quickly made a sorry figure, retreating repeatedly.
The main issue was that the Demon Cultivator’s Blood Light was too filthy, extremely restrained by the Light Element power of the White Dragon, while Qin Feng’s own combat power was no weaker than that of a Purple Mansion Cultivator, so in this two-on-one situation, they quickly took the upper hand.
Boom!
Just as the White Dragon cast an eleventh-level Dragon Language Magic, breaking through the Demon Cultivator’s defenses, and Qin Feng pierced the body with a spear, the Demon Cultivator dared not resist head-on and retreated into a cave, attempting to flee.
Qin Feng was not about to let this character off, signaling the White Dragon, they pursued relentlessly.
The White Dragon, being of a considerable size, was well enough outside the Blood Cave, thanks to the Sumeru Array’s reinforcement of space there, which was exceedingly spacious, but the passages leading to the deeper parts of the Blood Cave could hardly accommodate its vast frame.
Fortunately, adult Giant Dragons possessed Transformation abilities, and with a flash of white light, the White Dragon transformed into a tall, silver-haired woman, closely following behind Qin Feng, chasing the Demon Cultivator.
Moments later, they still lost track of the Purple Mansion Demon Cultivator.
It wasn’t only because the enemy was more familiar with the terrain, but also because the White Dragon couldn’t keep up with the speed.
“Cynthia.”
Qin Feng looked at the tall, silver-haired woman beside him and said helplessly, “I forgot about that. Later, I will teach you some of the Demon Cultivator Techniques inherited from our Sect for you to properly cultivate.”
“Ah?”
The White Dragon Cynthia looked at Qin Feng in surprise, “Honorable master, do you wish for me to abandon the bloodline inheritance of the Giant Dragon Clan?
If I rashly cultivate a cultivation technique that is completely different, my future achievements might not be very strong!”
“There’s no need to abandon your bloodline inheritance,”
Qin Feng said, “I don’t mean for you to completely switch to cultivating as a Demon Cultivator, just continue with the inheritance of the Giant Dragon Clan. However, after Transformation, you should at least master one or two Flying Techniques, otherwise, you’re simply too slow.
The Flying Techniques, Levitation, and other magics in your Magic System simply can’t display a speed that matches your strength.”
“Alright, master, I will study hard.”
Cynthia bowed her head, feeling somewhat ashamed.
As a noble White Dragon, a sovereign of the skies, it was a bit embarrassing for her to be looked down upon for her flying speed.
“Enough of this, we’ll talk about it when we get back. For now, let’s continue our hunt for the Demon Cultivators and be careful not to be ambushed by them.”
“Master, rest assured, those who carry the filthy aura of blood will definitely not escape my perception,”
Cynthia said with strong confidence.
The Blood God Sect and the Rebirth Sect were two extremes; the Rebirth Sect focused not on the physical body but only on the Divine Soul.
The Cultivators of the Blood God Sect, on the other hand, focused on their own Qi Blood, not only that, but they also plundered the Qi Blood Power of other Cultivators to replenish themselves, advancing in their Cultivation. To the extreme, they could even do without a physical body, as with enough Essence Blood, they could always shape a body at any time.
It would have been fine if it were only the Qi Blood Power, but the Qi Blood Force of the Blood God Sect Cultivators was also mixed with a dense Demonic Qi.
Such beings, of course, could not deceive a White Dragon whose power was of the utmost purity.
Most of the Elders of the Beast Taming Sect led teams of Disciples to destroy the Arrays in passing and eliminated all potential hiding places for the Blood God Sect Cultivators, advancing cautiously and steadily.
Only a few Elders acted alone in the passages, both to clear out Demon Cultivators and to inspect the fighting conditions in various places. If they encountered a place with fierce combat, they would join the fight and report on the progress of the Cultivators in the other passages.
Since the passages were too scattered and needed to be cleared slowly, this was a time-consuming task, but as the Beast Taming Sect held a sure victory, they were not in a rush.
Swoosh!
A subtle piercing sound was heard.
It was a three-inch-long Blood God Needle.
This object was different from the Blood Transformation Saber.
Once the Blood Transformation Saber struck a foe, it would crazily devour all life, Qi Blood, Soul, anything with a trace of energy, leaving nothing untouched.
But the Blood God Needle was different; it was neither a Magical Treasure nor a Divine Artifact but a malignant object condensed by the Blood God Sect Cultivators with their own fresh blood power. It lay somewhere between a Magical Treasure and Divine Skills. Once it pierced into a Cultivator’s body, it would melt completely, spreading through the Cultivator’s blood to every part of the body, eventually turning the Cultivator’s body into a puddle of pus and blood.
Of course, Qin Feng would not be struck by the Blood God Needle; with a horizontal sweep of his Long Spear in hand, he deflected the Blood God Needle.
On the surrounding walls, a blood-colored figure emerged silently and pounced towards Qin Feng.
Boom!
Before the figure could touch Qin Feng, it was sent flying by a punch from Cynthia.
The blood-colored figure gave a sinister chuckle, reached out to summon the Blood God Needle, prepared to retract it into its body for further nurturing, and then prepared to employ the Blood Shadow Escape Skill to flee.
However, the moment the Blood God Needle was grasped, a piercing scream erupted from its mouth as it violently shook its hand and forced the Blood God Needle out of its body and flung it away.
As it turned out, Qin Feng, in the instant he repelled the Blood God Needle, had attached a wisp of Holy Flame to it. Originally, he planned to completely refine the Blood God Needle, but the Demon Cultivator from the Blood God Sect acted too hastily and carelessly suffered a minor setback.
Great amounts of bloody light surged from the Demon Cultivator, extinguishing the Holy Flame in its hand.
Qin Feng and the White Dragon were just about to make a move to capture this late-stage Golden Core Demon Cultivator when a flash of golden light appeared at the end of the tunnel, and Li Miaozhen emerged.
Like a bolt of lightning, she only glanced over here for a moment before dashing over like a streak of lightning. Before the Demon Cultivator could act to escape, Li Miaozhen had bisected him with a single slash.
“Ah…”
The Demon Cultivator screamed. Just as it attempted to heal its body, it found that the wound was pervaded with copious amounts of sharp White Tiger Blade Energy, which not only halted its healing, but also continuously spread within its body, subjecting it to the agonizing pain of being sliced by a thousand blades in an instant.
“Let’s go!”
Li Miaozhen did not bother with the survival of the Demon Cultivator, nor did she wait for Qin Feng to greet her. She pulled Qin Feng by the hand and immediately bolted toward the distance.
Qin Feng was startled.
The opponent that could make Li Miaozhen flee so quickly must be extremely difficult to deal with. Without a moment of hesitation, he immediately grabbed Li Miaozhen’s arm and took off with her.
Of course, he hadn’t forgotten to grab Cynthia along the way.
Otherwise, if they were to let this White Dragon fly on its own, her speed would definitely not be sufficient for escape.
Before they could turn the corner of the passageway ahead, several powerful presences emerged from behind, and a torrent of violent attacks came hurtling toward them.
When it seemed impossible to dodge in time, Qin Feng abruptly pulled Li Miaozhen and Cynthia. A yellow radiance appeared around them, encompassing the three, as he forcefully broke through the underground prohibition and tunneled into the earth.
Boom! A series of explosive sounds reverberated as those few tremendously powerful attacks hit the ground near them. Even though Qin Feng had tried to distance them as much as possible, and even though those spells were not specifically aimed at those moving underground, the attacks still shook their Qi and blood, making their heads spin.
Qin Feng dragged the two of them across a hundred yards underground before emerging through another passage.
“Senior Sister, how did you provoke so many formidable Demon Cultivators all of a sudden?”
Qin Feng looked at her with admiration. “I knew you were formidable, but I didn’t expect you to be so fierce in battle. If it were me, I wouldn’t dare to provoke those Demon Cultivators. Amazing, there were even two at the Dharma Image Realm. It’s impressive that you managed to escape!”
“Hmph, only now you notice my prowess?”
Li Miaozhen lifted her delicate and fair chin, a hint of triumphant color crossing her face. Then she glanced at Cynthia, who stood beside Qin Feng, and asked with curiosity, “Who is this?”
“A White Dragon, her name is Cynthia.”
“Oh, her!”
Li Miaozhen nodded and did not ask further.
Though many of the Spiritual Beasts from the Beast Taming Sect practiced the way of the Wild Beast, it was not without those who followed the orthodox path of Demon Cultivators. Among them, some Demon Cultivators underwent Transformation, so Qin Feng having a Giant Dragon capable of taking human form was not unusual.
“Here, take this!”
She reached into her Storage Bag and passed a Jade Box to Qin Feng.
“What’s inside?”
Qin Feng took it, asking with some surprise.
“Just open it and you’ll see.”
Li Miaozhen’s face wore a smile filled with mystery.
Filled with curiosity, Qin Feng lifted his hand to open the Jade Box, and immediately a surge of bloody light shone out from within.
He was startled, but before he could activate his Cultivation Technique to defend, he exclaimed in surprise.
He didn’t detect the slightest danger from that bloody light. Instead, he felt a rich surge of vitality enter his body, finding it immensely beneficial.
Looking down, he saw a blood-colored lotus within the Jade Box.
However, the lotus had not yet bloomed and was still a bud.
“What is this that contains such a rich vitality?”
Qin Feng was filled with astonishment.
“This is called a Blood Lotus, a rare Exotic Treasure cultivated by the Blood God Sect using a Secret Technique. Its effects are somewhat similar to the Heavenly Connecting Lotus, which was popular in ancient times, except this treasure is more powerful than the Heavenly Connecting Lotus.
The main thing is that most of the Heavenly Connecting Lotus’s effectiveness is actually within its leaves, with the flower merely nurturing a bit of Law. The Blood Lotus, however, is different; most of its power has been used to cultivate the lotus flower. If one could make the flower bloom, with the Law coming to Perfection, it’s very likely they could directly create an Immortal Cultivator.”
Li Miaozhen shook her head proudly, “Otherwise, do you really think I would casually provoke Demon Cultivators whose realms are far beyond my own? If it weren’t for this thing, I definitely wouldn’t have risked it.”
