Chapter 1188: Chapter 1188: Heavenly Demon Blood Bat
Zzz... Zzz... Zzz...
On the Ice Barrier, there was a distinct corrosive force, rapidly eroding the Cold Ice Aura.
At the same time, the Ice Barrier was also weakening continuously.
Xiao Yi sensed his Primordial Power continually diminishing.
"What is this? Such a fast absorption speed." Xiao Yi frowned deeply.
His Small World’s Qi Spring was immense, and the primordial power it contained was overwhelming.
Yet now, it was being absorbed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
One can imagine how quickly Xiao Yi’s primordial power was depleting.
Ka... ka... ka...
As Xiao Yi’s primordial power weakened, the Ice Barrier also gradually faltered.
After a few seconds, with a series of cracking sounds, the Ice Barrier crumbled.
That mysterious aura swept in again.
"Retreat quickly." Xiao Yi urgently shouted.
A group of Martial Artists had already retreated far away, but their escape speed could not match the sweeping speed of this aura.
Just like before, everything this aura passed, the bodies on the ground turned to dust.
"Annihilation Binding." Qing Lin waved a hand, and bursts of Annihilation Wind blocked the front.
Sss... sss... sss...
The Annihilation Wind halted the mysterious aura in an instant and even continuously annihilated it.
"Impressive." Xiao Yi said in surprise.
However, Xiao Yi’s praise had barely fallen when the mysterious aura advanced again within seconds.
"Hmm?" Xiao Yi frowned.
Qing Lin’s techniques indeed blocked the mysterious aura and even eradicated some of it.
But compared to the overwhelming mass of this aura, Qing Lin’s few Annihilation Winds seemed inadequate.
This mysterious aura was also absorbing Qing Lin’s primordial power.
In just a moment, Qing Lin withdrew, and the Annihilation Wind dissipated instantly.
The mysterious aura swept in terrifyingly once more.
"Damn it, what a bizarre aura." Qing Lin cursed, then was startled.
Xiao Yi stepped forward, standing in front of Qing Lin, "If it loves absorbing so much, I’ll let it absorb to its fill."
Boom... A surge of Heaven and Earth Martial Arts Power rampaged instantly.
A blood-red hue instantly spread around.
Xiao Yi restrained all his physical strength and instead triggered the blood pill within him.
Boom...
The dense blood-red hue and the mysterious aura collided instantly like two opposing cyclones.
The mysterious aura, which had been advancing like a storm, was halted at once.
"Sure enough, it’s absorbing." A smile crossed Xiao Yi’s lips.
The dense blood-red hue gradually weakened.
Obviously, this mysterious aura was continually absorbing it.
Xiao Yi hoped that the power of the blood pill would be entirely absorbed.
However, just a moment later, the weakening of the blood-red hue began to slow and then stopped entirely.
Instead, the mysterious aura was completely ’repelled.’
"It stopped." Qing Lin exclaimed.
Indeed, the mysterious aura had halted, completely blocked by the pervasive blood-red in the air.
"It also stopped absorbing." Xiao Yi frowned.
In his perception, not only was the advancement of the mysterious aura stopped, but even its rapid absorption halted.
The blood pill within him showed no sign of weakening, but instead, its brilliance intensified.
The previously inexplicable absorption speed could do nothing to the blood pill.
"It’s not over yet." Xiao Yi frowned, looking ahead.
The overwhelming mysterious aura didn’t dissipate or retreat.
It was clashing with the pervasive blood-red hue in the air.
However, they were in a stalemate.
Xiao Yi temporarily ignored the blood pill within him and instead focused on the mysterious aura ahead.
"What on earth is such a bizarre aura?" Xiao Yi murmured to himself.
Since arriving in the Central Region, he had never sensed such a strange aura.
The entire aura was overwhelming, like a storm, yet colorless and shapeless.
In perception, it only emitted coldness, with an indescribable and inexplicable feeling.
Nothing else could be sensed besides that.
The most bizarre part was that this aura seemed to possess spiritual intelligence, able to absorb all forms of power.
His Ice Sword Qi, and even Qing Lin’s Annihilation Wind, couldn’t resist its absorption.
It also had an absorption speed so astonishing that even he found it incredible.
The confrontation between the pervasive blood-red hue and the mysterious aura continued.
After a full hour.
The mysterious aura suddenly vanished, disappearing silently and tracelessly.
"Disperse." Xiao Yi gave a low shout, dispersing the pervasive blood-red hue.
"Damn it, what the hell is that thing?" Qing Lin cursed.
Xiao Yi frowned, looking ahead, then crouched down, pinched the sand on the ground, and his brow furrowed even tighter.
"What’s wrong?" Qing Lin asked upon seeing this.
"Didn’t you notice anything strange?" Xiao Yi said, looking ahead.
Ahead was the battlefield where they had just repelled the Beast Tide.
After that massive battle, the ground was littered with corpses, numbering over hundreds of thousands; blood nearly formed rivers.
Yet now, the entire battlefield was empty.
Qing Lin frowned, "Wasn’t it just that mysterious aura sweeping over, turning everything to dust?"
"That aura is indeed terrifying and hard to resist."
"No." Xiao Yi shook his head, "It didn’t want to destroy everything, but to absorb everything."
"Absorb?" Qing Lin was taken aback and then shocked, "You’re saying those bodies turned to dust because all the blood and flesh were absorbed."
"Not even a bone was left?"
"Yes." Xiao Yi nodded, "The ground now doesn’t even have a trace of blood scent."
"In that massive battle, the demon beasts had heavy casualties, numbering over hundreds of thousands."
"The human Martial Artists’ side also had significant casualties."
"Now, there’s not even a hint of blood or a single corpse left."
"Could it be that an evil cultivator is controlling the demon beasts in the Demon Beast Forest and triggering the Beast Tide?" Qing Lin asked suspiciously.
"I don’t know." Xiao Yi shook his head.
He couldn’t even sense a trace of human Martial Artists’ aura from that mysterious aura.
"Could it be a Formation?" Qing Lin asked again, "The power of Formation is unpredictable."
"It’s not a Formation." Xiao Yi shook his head, affirming, "If it were a Formation, I could tell."
"Then what could it be?" Qing Lin asked repeatedly.
"I don’t know." Xiao Yi still said the same.
At this moment, the City Lord Mansion Commander hurriedly came over, his face full of relief.
"My lords, I once again express my deepest gratitude." The City Lord Mansion Commander bowed deeply.
"If it weren’t for your blocking of that aura just now, the Heavenly Demon Blood Bat would have massacred the city again."
"Heavenly Demon Blood Bat?" Qing Lin’s face changed upon hearing this.
"Yes." The City Lord Mansion Commander nodded, pointing to the Demon Beast Forest ahead, "It’s unclear when the Heavenly Demon Blood Bat appeared there."
"Afterward, it repeatedly triggered the Beast Tide, extremely ferocious."
"These days, several nearby major cities have been massacred."
"Massacred cities?" Qing Lin’s eyes widened, "Wouldn’t the casualties be in the millions?"
The City Lord Mansion Commander nodded solemnly, "The Heavenly Demon Blood Bat is a formidable beast that even Martial Arts Emperors have to avoid."
"Ordinary major cities stand no chance of resistance."
"The nearby Eight Palace Branches have already reported to the Main Hall, and we can only wait for them to dispatch powerful warriors."
