Chapter 433: Chapter 222: A Thought Alters All Things, Spirit Storm Sweeps the Ruins

The surface of the original Blood River began to shimmer with a crystalline brilliance.

Amidst the boiling waters of the Blood River, bright luster kept flickering.

That splendid scarlet glow was the pure Blood Essence Stone, condensed from the essence within the Blood River, bobbing up and down, appearing and disappearing with the flow of the river.

Roar!

At this moment, five enormous blood-colored rainbows charged straight ahead. The gigantic Blood Puppets, resembling demon ghosts, suddenly appeared to be manipulated or infused by some mysterious force, or more like being tainted by a corrosive power, as if struck by lightning, and suddenly went rigid.

Their forms, rushing forward, came to an abrupt halt in mid-air.

From the depths of their mindless eyes, eerie blood light began to emanate simultaneously; their bodies shivered uncontrollably.

"What..."

"How is it possible?!"

The Blood Demon Battle Armor on Venerable Blood Mist flickered with red light, appearing to be stimulated by some mysterious force, flashing intermittently.

Meanwhile, his expression changed dramatically, as he unexpectedly felt the trembling and fear from the armor he wielded so confidently, much like a mouse encountering a cat, meeting a deadly terrifying nemesis.

Venerable Blood Mist had no idea what was happening; he had never before sensed such fear within the Blood Demon Armor.

Such an ancient armor, this bizarre entity, could it have a source of fear?

What exactly was it?

For a moment, he was unsure what was happening, until he saw a strange figure draped entirely in a blood-colored robe suddenly appear in his vision, commanding a blood-colored river that spanned heaven and earth, descending upon this realm.

"Descend!"

When Nether River Daoist saw the five Blood Puppets charging towards him, he extended his right hand and coldly uttered a single word, pointing towards the void.

Immediately, the Blood River spanning above seemed to be drawn by some force and fell straight down from mid-air.

In an instant, the surging blood-colored riverwaters raised hundred-meter high waves, pouring down from mid-air like a breached flood, submerging the entire space.

Strangely, the cascading blood water did not expand outwards but was constrained and influenced by some special force, like a giant blood-colored enraged dragon, engulfing the five Blood Puppets.

It did not spread outwards.

A series of painful howls echoed from within the boiling blood water. The five Blood Puppets were refined from the bodies of Purple Mansion Cultivators, their strength naturally formidable.

Yet, facing the blood river water that climbed over their feet like a viscous substance, they were like lambs awaiting slaughter. Even under the control of the Blood Demon Armor, instinct urged resistance, prompting them to release a strong aura in attempts to break free.

However, no matter how much they struggled, even if they shattered parts of the blood river water, the remaining blood river continued to spread up along their bodies.

In the blink of an eye, the entire bodies of the five Blood Puppets were enveloped.

The frenzied aura they once exuded gradually fell into silence and eventually vanished completely.

As for the bodies of the five Blood Puppets, they seemed to dissolve within the Blood River, gradually turning invisible and merging into the river.

"How is it possible?! Damn it!"

Venerable Blood Mist realized the extermination of the Blood Puppets immediately, his expression changed dramatically.

He glanced warily at Chen Long, moved his figure to fly away into the distance, intending to escape from here.

Having controlled Blood Mist Abyss City for hundreds of years as a cunning schemer, Venerable Blood Mist thrived by knowing when to make decisions.

He also sensed a lethal threat; with his tyrant nature, he would never meekly submit to slaughter.

Escape first, then strategize later.

"Did I... allow you to leave?"

At this instant, Zheng Yi, who had been observing the battle from afar, slowly turned his head.

Unbeknownst to anyone, his eyes had transformed into a silvery white hue, appearing cold and ruthless, like the supreme Heavenly Dao.

He abandoned human emotions and thoughts, becoming one who practices Supreme Forgetting Emotions.

Two silvery lights shot from the depths of his pupils, instantly transforming into countless silver arcs of light, shrouding the entire sky and extending deeper into the Small Space.

In a flash, the lights shot straight toward Venerable Blood Mist in the sky.

In an instant, time seemed to freeze.

An invisible silver barrier suddenly appeared, causing Venerable Blood Mist to crash into it. Despite his formidable body and magical power, he couldn’t break through the peculiar barrier and was instead bounced back.

"This is bad!"

Venerable Blood Mist’s eyes flickered, sensing the impending doom.

Like being kept trapped in an urn.

And at this moment, Zheng Yi’s voice crossed the space, reaching Venerable Blood Mist’s ears.

"You think you can leave whenever you want?! It’s too late now..."

Naturally, Venerable Blood Mist understood the situation he was facing, and upon clearly sensing the invisible barrier blocking him, he turned increasingly grim.

Gritting his teeth fiercely, with a horrified expression, he spoke word by word.

"What is this?"

"Divine Soul Power..."

"Fellow Daoist Nether River, what do you think of this grand gift?!"

On the other side, Zheng Yi spoke to Nether River Daoist, who stood upright in the void, and inquired.

After repeatedly devouring the five Blood Puppets just now, the originally dim Blood River emitted bright blood light from under the water surface, gradually exuding an ancient aura filled with the passing of time.

One could distinctly see the accumulation of lustrous Blood Essence Stones at the bottom of the Blood River, resembling pieces of gleaming cobblestones.
