Chapter 812: Chapter 321: The Blood River Sect Leader Questions His Existence (Double-Length Chapter)
Unexpectedly, just at this moment, his vision suddenly blurred.
Purple, gold, and blue lights surged together, forming a huge three-tiered altar, appearing between Li Yan and the small island.
In the center of the illusory altar, a white jade great seal floated in the air.
Li Yan seemed to hit a wall, crashing directly into the purple, gold, and blue three-layered altar.
He grunted, his body falling back, blocked outside the Extreme World Yin Tide.
Li Yan’s eyes flashed with stars, and the Blood God Curse Armor on his body cracked open. He suppressed his discomfort, looking at Lei Jun again, who no longer looked as he’d been immobilized by his Slaughter World Demon Eye.
If this person had relied on that Great Seal magical treasure for protection, it would have been a different story; he wouldn’t have had time to stop Li Yan from reaching the island with it.
But that wasn’t the case.
Lei Jun relied on the Lethean Mist and White Jade Bodhi to refine his spiritual soul, which showed its effect at this moment.
He didn’t need the Celestial Master Seal to protect his soul but instead used his own robust spiritual soul to withstand Li Yan’s Slaughter World Demon Eye.
The attack from the Great Witch of the Blood River of the Ninth Heavenly Layer was extraordinary. Lei Jun’s spiritual soul was shaken, his mind was momentarily unclear, but he quickly regained clarity.
Then, using the Celestial Master Seal, he gave the opponent a solid hit, further blocking him outside the Extreme World Yin Tide.
The Yin Tide erupted, instantly blocking Li Yan’s path, preventing him from reaching the island at the critical moment when Tang Xiaotang was about to achieve perfection.
But just as Lei Jun held Li Yan back, from another direction, a surge of blood-red suddenly rose.
A boundless Blood Sea, at the instant before the final burst of the Extreme World Yin Tide, surged up, sweeping over the three-tiered altar, whose black color had faded to nearly pure gold.
However, between the altar and the Blood Sea, shadows resembling furious dragons suddenly emerged, stirring up a hurricane, almost solidifying into a tangible fortress, sheltering the golden altar below.
The Blood Sea surged, but was blocked by the hurricane, unable to invade.
What is this?
Since when did the Celestial Master Mansion have such a formidable magical treasure, unheard of before?
A figure of a handsome middle-aged man emerged from the Blood Sea, his expression serious.
It was none other than Wei Ancheng, the Sect Leader of the Blood River Lineage of the Southern Wilderness Witchcraft Sect in the Great Tang Realm.
Failing to achieve success with his initial strike, Wei Ancheng was shocked but didn’t slow down a bit, immediately gathering a blood-red blade, executing the Blood Battle Mortal World Style, striking at the Taiqing Eight Scenic Treasures Raincoat enveloping the altar.
Being blocked for a moment allowed Lei Jun to successfully repel Li Yan, then turn and strike with a sword at Wei Ancheng.
The Celestial Master Seal was left hovering in the air by Lei Jun.
The purple, gold, and blue altar gleamed, pressing against the Extreme World Yin Tide.
These actions served not to aid Li Yan but to stimulate the Extreme World Yin Tide to surge higher and maintain longer, obstructing Li Yan.
Under the violent surge of the Extreme World Yin Tide, not only the nearby Li Yan but also the distant gazes of Shangguan Yunbo, Li De, Ye Morong, and others could only vaguely see the second Blood Sea approaching the island.
Then, there was just a haze.
In the already dim environment of the Earth Sea, looking from a distance, besides Li Yan being blocked outside, the direction of the Cuoduan Abyss showed only occasional golden and blood colors intermingling.
Wei Ancheng deflected a strike from Lei Jun’s Celestial Master’s Sword, his expression still composed.
Li Yan being repelled was unfavorable to Master Wei.
But with Lei Jun maintaining the Extreme World Yin Tide with the Celestial Master Seal, it had partially provided some restraint to Li Yan.
So, there was still time and opportunity... Wei Ancheng was unperturbed, his blade striking in series, persistently attacking Lei Jun from various angles.
Watching the battle beforehand was extremely helpful to him, allowing him to face Lei Jun wielding the Celestial Master’s Sword with more ease now.
However, that was not the main point.
The main point was that within the Blood Sea evolved by Wei Ancheng, several other figures emerged.
All resembled Wei Ancheng himself, except they were entirely blood-red, seemingly condensed from blood.
It was another great divine skill from the Blood River Sect, the Blood Divine Child.
These Blood Divine Children were more potent in contaminating magic artifacts and mana than ordinary Blood Seas, spreading out to collectively pollute the Taiqing Eight Scenic Treasures Raincoat.
Nevertheless, Lei Jun unexpectedly drew out an eight-section green bamboo staff intertwined with purple and gold lights.
With a swipe of the bamboo staff, it struck a Blood Divine Child.
That Blood Divine Child resembling Wei Ancheng froze immediately.
Then, like cracked porcelain, it showed fractures on its surface, shattering into pieces, disappearing with a breeze.
...What is this again?!
Wei Ancheng’s eyes displayed a rare hint of astonishment.
At the same time, Lei Jun’s Celestial Master’s Sword swung in the air, and the sharp sword light split the vast Blood Sea once more.
Meanwhile, his Supreme Pure Jade Heavenly Immortal Bamboo followed his steps, casually waving.
One Blood Divine Child after another was shattered on the spot by Lei Jun.
Wei Ancheng watched as the three-tiered altar sheltered by Lei Jun’s protection had lost all blackness, turning entirely into pure gold, radiating brilliantly, realizing that the opportune moment had vanished, leaving him unsuccessful in his endeavor.
Continuing to struggle with Lei Jun for victory had lost its meaning.
Any further delay, and Tang Xiaotang would formally emerge, truly becoming a cultivator of the Ninth Heavenly Layer.
Wei Ancheng shook his head, his blood saber slashing again, restraining Lei Jun while waving his hand.
Suddenly, a picture unfolded, depicting a vast ocean, a surging Blood Sea, deeply unsettling.
This was the ultimate treasure of the Blood River, the Sea of Blood Map.
With this map, even obstructed by the Extreme World Yin Tide, Wei Ancheng could still retreat with ease.
"Xuanxiao Zi Lei Chongyun, impressive skills," Wei Ancheng’s figure began to vanish into the Sea of Blood Map.
His state of mind was calm at this moment, without regret or lament, no longer glancing at the golden three-tiered altar, instead focusing on Lei Jun.
During the battle in the Southern Wilderness years ago, he had heard of Lei Jun’s name.
At that time, Lei Jun was merely with Middle Three Heavens’ Cultivation, not noteworthy to Wei Ancheng, merely knowing there was a young disciple from the Celestial Master Mansion who had been to the Southern Wilderness back then.
But unexpectedly, in the blink of twenty years, the person had grown to this level.
Be it his rapidly advancing cultivation or those peculiar magical treasures, this young Taoist carried many secrets.
Moving forward, a more cautious approach towards the Celestial Master Mansion was needed, and opportunities should be sought more carefully... While Wei Ancheng was contemplating, he suddenly saw Lei Jun’s movements were off.
The Celestial Master’s Sword was currently hovering mid-air.
Two Dual Polarity Heavenly Primordial Talismans rotated between them, generating a vast amount of Primordial Magnet Force.
The tip of the Celestial Master’s Sword slightly trembled, pointing at the retreating Blood Sea Map in the void.
The next moment, thunder roared, and the sword light flashed!
With almost no interval, the terrifying purple light arrived before Wei Ancheng and the Blood Sea Map.
Wei Ancheng was taken aback, summoning the Blood Divine Child to block.
But the Blood Divine Child had a big hole opened up right through it.
The terrifying purple light struck Wei Ancheng, immediately creating a huge cavity on him!
Wei Ancheng’s body wavered, then shattered into layers of blood shadows, and reformed his physique.
But his body was now flickering and twisted, unable to maintain a human shape for a moment.
What shook his mind even more was that several consecutive sword lights were slicing across the sky to reach him.
Although Wei Ancheng himself used the blood shadows to disperse and regroup, avoiding these subsequent swords.
Knowing his opponent’s abilities well, Lei Jun didn’t aim these follow-up swords at Wei Ancheng himself either.
His target was the Sea of Blood Map.
Though weaker than the Celestial Master’s Sword, the Seven-Star Sword, empowered by Lei Jun’s Primordial Magnet Force, still carried terrifying might.
As the Blood Sea Map was being put away, there was a "squeak" sound, seemingly as if the painting was split open.
The Sea of Blood Map erupted with a blinding light, as if a person was spewing blood.
A torrent of blood spilled out from within, halting the mystical phenomenon of the collapsing imagery in the void.
...So, what the hell was this?!
Wei Ancheng stumbled and was ejected from within, reappearing in the Earth Sea.
