At this moment, the water in the Blood Pool shimmered, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be palm-sized pieces of golden scales floating and sinking, reflecting an eerie golden light.
If Chen Yuan were here, he would recognize these golden scales, as he had obtained one from Wei Yang, one of the Twelve Divine Envoys of the Feixian Sect, in the past.
Because of this golden scale, the Divine Envoys and Venerables of the Feixian Sect later dispatched forces to Qingshan County, pressuring Chen Yuan to hand it over due to its significant importance.
Later, Chen Yuan, relying on this golden scale, inadvertently opened a space portal, entered the Ten Thousand Mountains’ Demon Tao Fruit Conference, and made his way around the world, achieving the Taoist Soldier level, uprooting the Feixian Sect entirely.
Back then, each of the Four Symbols Venerables of the Feixian Sect had just one of these, using it to collect the blood aura of the Human Clan and complete the sacrificial ritual. Chen Yuan obtained the Azure Dragon’s one, while the White Tiger’s one was used up in a sacrificial summoning of demons outside the White Emperor Pass during a battle with the Colonel of White Emperor City, Xiang Qingtian. And now, this item has reappeared, and there are far more than just one.
This is precisely because the four beasts from the Feixian Sect were a move by the Human Demon of Chengsheng Land, and those four golden scales were bestowed by Ren Tianxing.
These golden scales are closely related to the demons of the Ten Thousand Mountains, called Demon Contracts, used to open portals and summon demons through massive blood essence sacrifices.
Ren Tianxing, that Human Demon, sought more opportunities to become a demon by venturing into Shu and leaving the Ten Thousand Mountains to sign contracts with demons, obtaining these items.
At present, he’s gone mad and intends to become a demon. Under the silver mask, his pupils glowed with a frenzied look!
Evidently, he intends to directly bypass the Demon Front and summon the group of demons from the Ten Thousand Mountains, aiming to accomplish something significant with this method.
However, this process, which spans thousands of miles, naturally requires a massive sacrifice of blood and aura to establish a space portal.
But over the years, he has been preparing, deploying dark forces across various places to create chaos, destroying cities and annihilating sects. Among these, the most gratifying was harvesting the blood essence and essence of those cultivating individuals, with many powerful martial artists falling under his dark forces.
Originally, he planned to conduct a blood sacrifice in Qingshan County as a trigger to open the portal, allowing it to descend directly over Qingshan County. However, plans changed when the Li Family’s Martial Storage went missing, and he suspected that an old man from the Fang Family was stealing it!
Nonetheless, it didn’t matter. Soon, everyone in Qingshan would die, and after this night, his name, Ren Tianxing, would make countless people tremble with fear.
Ren Tianxing smirked coldly, eyes shining with indifference and cruelty.
He flipped the blood vial in his hand, his demon eyes narrowing into slits, one hand forming seals in front of his chest, lips moving as he recited a harsh and incomprehensible spell.
In the valley, a sudden gust of wind howled violently.
After a dozen breaths,
The Human Demon’s eyes flared, his fingers forming a sword posture, pointing toward the Blood Pool at his feet.
In an instant, the blood in the pool began to boil.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh"
The golden scales within rapidly soared into the sky, rushing toward the massive Yin Yang Fish enveloping the valley.
During this process, the golden scales quickly turned blood-red, crashing fiercely into the Yin Yang Fish.
A humming sound echoed.
The gigantic Yin Yang Fish, spanning several miles in diameter, instantly underwent a shift in aura, causing a thunderous boom. The buzzing accelerated, the rotation speed increasing rapidly.
Meanwhile, the central dividing line of the Yin Yang Fish slowly lit up, revealing a crimson section, akin to a door, with a trickle of fresh blood seeping out from the door’s crevice.
A powerful and malevolent aura was released from within!
It seemed as if a formidable and terrifying presence awaited the opening of this door, ready to descend from a world beyond!
It wasn’t over yet. The Blood Pool beneath emitted a resounding boom, causing the entire valley to shake.
The blood water whirled into a vortex, transforming into a blood column about twenty zhang thick, surging into the Yin Yang Fish. Instantly, the "door crevice" gradually became stained with its color.
At the same time, within the valley, the thousands of wailing essences got swept into it like a bloody vortex, becoming nourishment within, fueling the opening of this "door"!
Ren Tianxing looked up and surveyed his masterpiece, his eyes reflecting excitement and madness.
Now, he just had to wait! No one could stop him!
He laughed heartily, causing the entire valley to reverberate.
Yet, as Ren Tianxing reveled in his triumph, outside the valley, a flowing stream of red light, like a meteor racing the moon, plummeted swiftly.
"Boom!" a deafening explosion!
A three-pointed two-blade spear, over a hundred meters tall, violently impaled the massive Yin Yang Fish above the valley!
The spear tip hit the middle of the blood seam.
Golden flame surged from the spearhead, spreading fiercely.
Instantly, the gigantic Yin Yang Fish, previously humming and spinning, shuddered. Its speed halted. The blood-infused, increasingly red "door crevice" was scorched by the golden flame, emitting a sharp "sizzle".
The unexpected change abruptly stopped Ren Tianxing’s maniacal laughter, choking it in his throat. His pupils contracted into a pale golden vertical line.
"Three-pointed two-blade spear"
Under the silver mask, his voice had a tinge of discoloration, with a hint of gritted teeth.
This is that person’s Taoist Soldier!
He immediately looked toward the direction the spear came from, seeing a golden stream of light descend from the snowy night sky, like a cannonball, crashing onto the nearest mountain pillar, three hundred zhang tall.
Then emerged a tall figure clad in silver armor, draped with a Flowing Cloud Robe. The third golden vertical eye on his brow suddenly opened, shooting a beam of golden light, piercing the night, radiantly lighting the way down.
Simultaneously, the sound of barking echoed around the valley.
In the forest above the valley, pairs of ghastly white eyes lit up, flames of eerie black fire flickering within.
Numerous Demon Dogs bared their fangs, snarling, as they barked furiously at the valley below, issuing low growls from their throats.
"Ninth Mountain’s Colonel!"
Ren Tianxing’s hair danced wildly, his demon eyes clearly recognizing the newcomer, wiping away his last bit of luck, with a gnashing growl from his throat.
Finally, he understood everything.
That Li Family’s Martial Storage must have been slaughtered by this Colonel last night, and his Demon Gu was also suppressed, thanks to this person’s methods.
In his eyes flickered a touch of dread, overwhelmed by a greater sense of madness.
And a few miles away, atop the mountain pillar, Chen Yuan scanned the gigantic Yin Yang Fish below with his Dharma Eye, his expression growing stern, eyes glinting with a piercing coldness!
The scene before him was all too familiar.
"Spatial fluctuations!"
"Human blood sacrifice"
"Are you summoning demons?"
Chen Yuan spoke each word, his voice sharp as a blade and chilling to the core.
"Today, I will kill you!"
He said no more, calmly raising his hand. An earsplitting spear cry sounded as the big spear below soared into the sky.
But Ren Tianxing seemed to have heard a ridiculous joke, bursting into laughter, shaking the entire valley.
It was only then that Ren Tianxing understood everything.
The Elder of the Li Family’s Martial Storage must have been slain by this Colonel last night, and his Demon Gu was also suppressed by this person’s means.
In his eyes flashed a hint of apprehension, overshadowed by a greater sense of madness.
Looking up, Chen Yuan, with furrowed sword-like brows, said calmly, "Elder Dong, Dragon Girl, it seems we must trouble you once again!"
Meanwhile, in the northwest direction, over a hundred miles away, the mountains thundered, tens of thousands of galloping horses, with cold light reflecting off their iron armor.
