Chapter 90: Blood Demon Ancestor!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Two days later.

In Abyssal City.

“How befitting of a great demon city, truly a splendid view.”

Lu Xuan looked around.

Abyssal City, a moderately famous demon metropolis, teemed with both innate demons and transformed beasts.

Innate demons were born in human form, whereas beast demons achieve it through cultivation.

Upon entering the city, Lu Xuan and Cheng Lingzhu saw many demon cultivators with animal ears and tails walking the streets.

Some, only partially transformed, still bore strong animal features, like a tiger’s head and body.

It was a city that exuded happiness and good fortune.

In fact, human cultivators like Lu Xuan and Cheng Lingzhu were not uncommon here.

Open to all, Abyssal City welcomed anyone who abided by its laws and paid the entrance fee, be they cultivators or mortals.

Looking at the animal ears and tails around him, Lu Xuan felt a curious urge to touch them.

But deeming it impolite, he refrained.

Elsewhere.

Inside a teahouse.

Shebi Shi sat near a window, watching Lu Xuan and Cheng Lingzhu.

“When do you plan to act, senior?”

Nangong Xuan communicated telepathically.

“Let’s wait until they settle in an inn,” Shebi Shi replied.

Even a lion uses all its might to hunt a rabbit.

Though they were but two Golden Core cultivators.

They showed no signs of alertness, nor were there any powerful beings lurking nearby to protect them.

Yet, the more this was the case, the more cautious Shebi Shi became.

Merely for slaying two Golden Core cultivators, the reward offered by the Immortal Tomb was a thousand years of life span.

Anyone could sense the inherent risk in such a generous reward.

Shebi Shi planned to wait until they were asleep and their guard was down before making a move.

That night, at the hour of the Ox.

The void subtly distorted as two figures, one tall and one short, one old and one young, appeared above an inn.

The tall, thin elder was clad in a grey robe, while the shorter youth donned brocaded garments.

It was Shebi Shi and Nangong Xuan.

The inn below was where Lu Xuan and Cheng Lingzhu had checked in.

Shebi Shi stood in the air, lifting a withered palm, his eyes flickering with a cold glint.

He could clearly sense two presences inside the inn, utterly unguarded.

To Shebi Shi, their breathing was even, their mana calm – Evidently, they were deep in slumber.

Narrowing his eyes, Shebi Shi extended his withered hand downwards and pressed.

The next moment, Abyssal City shook violently!

Countless streams of blood energy converged, turning the pitch-black night sky into a dark red.

Nangong Xuan’s breath hitched, her face paling from the impact.

She could feel an overwhelming aura of blood and malevolence emanating from the frail elder.

A blood-red cloud gathered in the sky, transforming into a massive crimson hand that smashed down towards the inn!

Shebi Shi sneered.

His palm strike, seemingly unremarkable, concealed deadly intent and power within the crimson hand.

Even a Mahayana cultivator would have to face it seriously to avoid injury.

Shebi Shi was not concerned about Lu Xuan and Cheng Lingzhu having any contingencies.

After all, he himself was a being of great power.

As the blood-red hand thundered down, an anomaly occurred just as it was about to crash into the rooftop!

A burst of clear light emanated from within the inn, forming a barrier that blocked the attack.

Almost silently, the blood-red hand disintegrated and was absorbed and purified by the barrier.

A figure leaped from the third floor of the inn, taking care to close the window behind them.

Lu Xuan, walking on air, arrived in front of Shebi Shi and Nangong Xuan, smiling slightly.

“I have been waiting for some time.”

Shebi Shi’s expression remained cold, but he was not surprised by Lu Xuan’s remark.

The latter’s high-profile actions, not concealing his identity, were a deliberate provocation against the Immortal Tomb organization.

Shebi Shi had also anticipated that Lu Xuan and Cheng Lingzhu would have means to counter assassination attempts.

Perhaps through mystical treasures, or even the might of a great power’s sword qi.

But…

How long could they hold out?

There were no powerful beings in hiding around, nor any formations set up.

Shebi Shi was certain of this. “Relying on external aids, how long can you last?”

Shebishi lifted his eyelids.

“This place has already been sealed by me. You can’t even send a message to the powers behind you.”

He clapped his hands together, glancing at Nangong Xuan, and declared loudly, “Young man, witness the prowess of my technique!”

As his words fell, Shebi Shi’s aura surged wildly, as if the seals within him had been unleashed.

A boundless sea of blood formed beneath him, spreading far and wide!

At this moment, all residents of Abyssal City were jolted awake.

The demon guards of the city, pale-faced, clung to the walls, their gaze fixed on the direction of the inn.

They could clearly sense an aura belonging to the Mahayana Stage emanating from the old man.

No, not just Mahayana.

His aura continued to climb, breaking through the peak of Mahayana and reaching the Transcendent Phase!

The city guards were stunned.

Why had such a powerful being suddenly appeared in Abyssal City?

To prolong his life, Shebi Shi had suppressed his vital energy and cultivation over the years to reduce consumption.

But now, killing the two in the city would grant him a thousand more years of life.

He was ready to go all out and indulge once again!

Shebi Shi reminisced about his youth.

Back then, he reveled in killing and plundering, drinking blood and feasting on flesh – how exhilarating it was!

And he had been suppressing these urges for years to stay alive.

After tonight, these emotions would be unleashed, clearing his Dao heart of any hindrances.

Shebi Shi only hoped that Lu Xuan’s powerful backup would not be too weak.

Otherwise, he would be very disappointed.

The sea of blood spread endlessly, covering the entire sky, emitting a filthy, unclean aura.

Within this sea, countless tormented souls wailed, their cries piercing the soul.

Lu Xuan’s expression grew colder.

Seeing this tainted sea of blood, he recognized the man’s identity.

“Blood God Sect, Ancestor of the Blood Sea.

Lu Xuan’s eyes darkened.

The Blood God Sect was once the premier demonic force of the Northern Plains, notorious for many years.

Until two thousand years ago, when Ji Lingchen stepped into the Transcendent Stage.

That day, he emerged with his sword and annihilated the Blood God Sect. Only the strongest elder of the sect, the Ancestor of the Blood Sea, managed to escape, hiding in the Archean Eon Realm, keeping a low profile.

Ji Lingchen had told Lu Xuan that besides justice, he also had a personal vendetta against the Blood God Sect.

This boundless sea of blood was the Ancestor of the Blood Sea’s pride.

His murderous intent was not pure enough to conjure top-tier visions of the Path of Slaughter.

So, he slaughtered countless lives, refining human souls, using the resentment and blood of countless tormented spirits to nurture this filthy sea.

“Ah Chen has been looking for you for so many years, and yet I stumbled upon you today.”

Lu Xuan exhaled slowly, his breath forming a foot-long white mist.

The mist, dense and undispersed, seemed like sharp sword qi.

He was ready to kill..
