Chapter 175: Chapter 157: Evolution, Dark Seal

A silent streak of cyan light shot past three Blood Demons.

Before they could even react, three heads dropped neatly to the ground. Pale purple blood instantly gushed out, staining the surrounding area crimson.

The foul-smelling blood mixed with the Winged Demon Heart in the pit, which then strangely absorbed it, emitting an eerie glow.

Yin Yi quickly finished off the three Blood Demons, and Han Ning dragged their corpses into Egg Pancake’s Mimicry range, leaving only a patch of foul-smelling blood on the ground.

The smell of blood brewed in the stuffy environment, gradually spreading outwards.

After a short while, a rustling sound came from the nearby stone pillars.

One by one, Blood Demons two to three meters tall, and even some just over a meter, followed the scent of blood and gathered on the blood-soaked patch of grass.

"One, two, three, four... Ten Blood Demons in total. Six at the Awakened Level, and four small fry..."

"Yin Yi, do as you please."

Han Ning’s Spiritual Power swept over the area; not a single Blood Demon could escape his search.

The moment his voice fell, several huge figures emerged from the direction they had come from, as well as from behind a stone pillar to the northeast.

These were three massive Blood Demons, each over four meters tall. A bloodthirsty light shone from their murky, yellowish eyes.

Following their arrival, more Blood Demons of all sizes emerged one after another from the surroundings.

Suddenly, a sharp screech came from behind one of the stone pillars.

In Han Ning’s perception, a Blood Demon had discovered one of the Electric Fire Cannon Insects and immediately attacked it.

’This should be enough. Any more... and things will get out of hand.’

Han Ning’s original plan was to use the scent of blood to lure the local Blood Demons. He would then ambush and kill them, collecting enough Awakened Level Soul Beast corpses for the All-Encompassing Spiritual Silkworm’s evolution.

Now, looking at the dozens of indistinct figures ahead, the numbers were more than enough.

And there was a "big surprise"—judging by their size and the aura they emitted, the three leading Blood Demons were at least Extraordinary Level.

Just then, the leading Blood Demon seemed to sense Egg Pancake’s Mimicry Soul Technique. It ignored the commotion in the stone forest and instead cast a questioning gaze in their direction.

A green light flickered in Han Ning’s eyes as he pushed his Spiritual Power to its limits.

"Ling!"

At that moment, Yin Yi, who had been gathering power for some time, suddenly fired a thick beam of green particles straight at the largest Blood Demon.

BOOM!

The air instantly distorted from the terrifying fluctuation of Spiritual Energy.

The terrifying Wood Type Spiritual Energy of the Cyan Wood Radiance erupted. Its immense destructive force instantly shattered the stone pillars and ground within a radius of dozens of meters, indiscriminately enveloping the three Extraordinary Level Blood Demons and the few Awakened Level ones beside them!

The two smaller Extraordinary Level Blood Demons were blasted into several pieces by the Cyan Wood Radiance.

But the Blood Demon Leader, just before the Cyan Wood Radiance swept over it...

SKREEE!

A strange purple light flared from the sharp horn on its forehead. A visible shockwave spread out, momentarily halting the approaching beam. Seizing the opportunity, its figure flickered, and it dodged the blast.

The other two Blood Demons were somehow still alive. They struggled to drag their upper bodies, where their heads were, and staggered forward, charging ferociously toward Han Ning’s position.

"GRRAAAGH!!!"

The surrounding Blood Demons reacted instantly. In a flash, the air filled with the frantic flapping of wings as a dense barrage of Soul Techniques engulfed the seemingly empty boulder. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

The Blood Demon Leader flew into mid-air. A strange, dark purple light glowed from its eyes, and in the next instant, a beam of light as thick as an arm shot from its mouth.

A frosty-white Crystal Shield rose up, scattering countless Spiritual Light Points. The Crystal Shield only lasted for two seconds before the purple beam blasted through it, causing it to disintegrate into motes of light.

Fortunately, the shield’s defense managed to deflect the purple beam, which grazed past Han Ning’s position.

Every stone pillar caught in the beam’s path cracked and shattered. The beam carved a long trench into the ground, stretching for dozens of meters.

’Such incredible power. This level of destruction has to be Extraordinary Level II or higher...’

"Lingling!"

Yin Yi was surprised that her attack hadn’t instantly killed the other two Blood Demons. Two cyan-green flames ignited in her pupils.

The next second, the charging Blood Demons slammed into a dense wall of spinning Flower Thorns that burned like fire.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

A series of powerful explosions erupted one after another.

"Egg Pancake, don’t go up there! Protect me."

While stopping the eager Egg Pancake from rushing forward to help, Han Ning used his Spiritual Power to command five hidden Insect Puppets to launch a full-scale attack on the other Entry Level and Awakening Level Blood Demons, sowing chaos.

Crimson bolts of electricity, wreathed in a bloody glow, flashed through the air. Blood-red electric orbs crisscrossed, striking the slower Blood Demons and paralyzing them, leaving them unable to move.

The Blood Demon Leader’s movements were extremely fast. It had clearly discovered Yin Yi hidden by the Mimicry Soul Technique. It let out a deafening roar, its bloodthirsty aura surging.

Then, with a powerful flap of its wings, its massive body left a series of afterimages in mid-air.

BOOM!

Before it could finish its posturing, the blue and white flower on Yin Yi’s head swayed gently.

An Ice Rhombus brimming with frigid energy smashed down onto the Blood Demon Leader’s flight path with lightning speed.

The temperature in the humid stone forest plummeted, instantly transforming it into a frigid Domain. Caught off guard, the Blood Demon was struck by the aftershock of the Ice Crystal, and pale blue crystals rapidly formed on its body.
