"Human junior, I don't know what kind of despicable method you used to steal this set of Mountain and River Beads, but you really did refine it into a treasure. You've saved me a lot of effort, so I'm going to pay you back with your life!" a low voice rang out from within the sea of blood.
Not only was the voice transmission of an Arcane Enlightenment Stage being extremely powerful, it was also imbued with powerful spiritual pressure. Even though Liu Ming's spiritual sense was already comparable to that of a Celestial Phenomenon Stage being, he was still struck by a sharp pain in the back of his ears, and he was beginning to feel a little dizzy, thereby significantly reducing his speed.
After just the span of a few breaths, the sea of blood that the Blood Patriarch had transformed into had already caught up to Liu Ming.
Liu Ming's heart sank as he sensed the bursts of spiritual pressure erupting from behind him.
Even though he had some trump cards up his sleeve that allowed him to slay Celestial Phenomenon Stage beings, he was still nothing in the face of the Arcane Enlightenment Stage Profound Impermanence. If he were to be caught by the Blood Patriarch, his chances of survival would be extremely slim.
With that in mind, his body blurred, and he transformed into four identical figures. He then flapped his silver wings, each of which left a trail of afterimages in their wake as they flew toward the densest concentration of stemborers.
Liu Ming was able to rely on the Apotheosis Stage movement techniques that he had perfected in the illusionary realm to transform into four projections that traversed through the sea of stemborers with ease.
Before the stemborers had a chance to react, Liu Ming had already flashed past them as a black line, making it impossible for them to track him down.
Upon seeing this, the Profound Impermanence immediately followed in the direction that Liu Ming had fled in and plunged headfirst into the stemborer army.
Even though he was an ally of the Stemborer Queen, he didn't care about the lives of these low-grade stemborers, and in his current state of fury, he didn't even care about the safety of these low-grade stemborers.
"Howl howl howl!"
As soon as the low-grade stemborers came into contact with the sea of blood, their bodies began to swell, following which all of their blood essence was absorbed into the sea of blood.
In the blink of an eye, tens of thousands of low-grade stemborers and human cultivators had been reduced to dried corpses after coming into contact with the Blood Patriarch's sea of blood.
When Liu Ming saw that the distance between him and the Blood Ancestor had not widened, he broke out in a cold sweat.
What was even worse was that a large number of low-level stemborers nearby suddenly gathered together to form an impenetrable insect wall in front of Liu Ming. It was unknown whether they had been instructed to do so, or whether they simply didn't care about the Blood Progenitor's massacre.
To Liu Ming, the insect wall formed by the low-grade stemborers was nothing to be afraid of, but if he were to attack now, his speed would be greatly affected.
At this moment, if he was even a little bit slower, he could fall into eternal damnation at any time!
Liu Ming could only grit his teeth and instantly changed the direction of his escape to the place where the Celestial State cultivators were fighting in mid-air.
He had no intention of drawing this disaster onto himself, but in this dire situation, he could only hope that the high-grade cultivators would be able to hold off the Blood Patriarch for a while, thereby creating an opportunity for him to escape.
However, before he had a chance to reach the battlefield above, the sea of blood was already less than several thousand feet behind him, and the pungent odor of blood wafted through the air.
"Surrender now, brat!" Xuan Wuchang cackled within the sea of blood as he gently flicked a finger through the air, upon which a series of crimson vines as thick as water buckets quickly materialized within the sea of blood. In the blink of an eye, there were thousands of vines, all of which swept through the air in a frenzy.
Bloodcurdling cries rang out everywhere they passed!
Regardless of whether it was human cultivators or stemborers, all of them were sucked dry as soon as they came into contact with the crimson vines.
Liu Ming was shocked. While trying his best to activate the escape light, he forcefully activated the Bitter Wheel Sword under his feet, releasing rays of purple sword qi to the sea of blood behind him to resist.
However, when the purple sword qi touched the crimson vines, it directly collapsed. It could only slow them down a little, and it had little effect on the overwhelming crimson vines.
There was a loud whistling sound in the air!
Several crimson vines intertwined and flashed toward the sky, turning into a giant crimson net, covering Liu Ming at lightning speed.
Liu Ming was shocked. He made a gesture, and the other 3 phantasms flashed to block in front of him. At the same time, his figure flickered, and his speed suddenly increased in a whistling sound.
The three phantoms collapsed into black smoke in the blink of an eye in the giant crimson net.
When the giant crimson net missed, there were hundreds of crimson vines that came from all directions. With the giant crimson net as the center, they intertwined to form a giant crimson palm that was a thousand feet in size, grabbing at Liu Ming with lightning speed.
Seeing this, Liu Ming's face changed greatly. He suddenly pressed the sword pouch on his waist with one hand, planning to release the sword pill and fight with all his might!
At the critical moment, a golden light flashed above Liu Ming, and then a large amount of bright starlight surged from it, quickly forming a dazzling light ball behind Liu Ming.
"Bang", there was a loud noise!
In the fierce collision of the red and white lights, the dazzling light ball condensed by the starlight quickly dimmed. But at this moment, countless spots of starlight gathered from all directions and poured into the light ball. They actually condensed into a huge golden light wall, blocking the blow of the giant crimson palm!
It was Jin Lieyang who found that something was wrong with Liu Ming and flew to support him!
Liu Ming was overjoyed, but before he could thank him, he found that the golden light wall in front of him was shattered!
"Hurry up, I can only delay for a while for you!"
After Jin Lieyang hurriedly sent a voice transmission to Liu Ming, his body flashed with starlight, and he chanted an obscure gesture.
The dazzling white starlight on his body kept flashing, and rolls of starlight shot out from his body without reservation. The Dharma Idol phantasm behind him also gradually condensed, turning into a golden dragon phantasm that soared into the sky.
A dragon roar sounded, shaking the Nine Heavens!
After Liu Ming glanced at Jin Lieyang, he didn't dare to neglect. He made a gesture and once again turned into a purple light and blasted away.
With Jin Lieyang's Celestial State cultivation, if he was still helpless in the face of the Blood Ancestor, he wouldn't be of much help even if he stayed.
"A mere Celestial State existence dares to block my way? It seems that you are tired of living!"
Xuan Wuchang's deafening voice came from behind him.
Then there was a violent tremor behind him, mixed with an earth-shattering noise. Clouds of blood mixed with faint golden light scattered in all directions, and Jin Lieyang's figure was shot out from the air.
At this time, he was dripping with blood, and the Dharma Idol phantasm behind him suddenly disappeared. It seemed that he had been seriously injured after forcibly resisting the blow of the Blood Ancestor.
Jin Lieyang took another glance at Liu Ming, who had fled for over 10,000 feet, before immediately activating his protective divine light and fleeing as a streak of golden light.
Blood Ancestor Xuan Wuchang didn't seem to have thought that a mere Celestial State cultivator would be able to withstand his attack, and a hint of surprise flashed through his eyes. However, he had no intention of giving chase. Instead, he harrumphed coldly before continuing to chase after Liu Ming.
Meanwhile, in front of the spatial rift that the Stemborer Queen was situated in, the Profound Integration Stage cultivators had no choice but to send out three Profound Integration Stage cultivators to hold off the Stemborer Queen after being interrupted by three Profound Integration Stage cultivators of the Corrupt Path.
As the Stemborer Queen struggled frantically, a corner of the restriction light barrier that had been set up by several Profound Integration Stage cultivators had been torn open by the Stemborer Queen, and one of its pristine white claws forced its way through the spatial rift again.
With a wave of its giant claw, a seemingly ordinary hurricane blew up, but an indescribably powerful spiritual pressure came from it, sweeping in all directions.
All of the Profound Integration Stage cultivators had no choice but to temporarily put down their treasures upon seeing this before hurriedly taking evasive measures.
The three Arcane Enlightenment cultivators took advantage of this opportunity to attack the damaged light barrier in an attempt to completely destroy it and release the Stemborer Queen.
The entire space was instantly filled with all types of puppets, spiritual lights, giant mountains, spatial rifts, and poisonous mist, creating quite a chaotic scene to behold.
Within the passageway, the Stemborer Queen was writhing its fleshy body relentlessly, destroying the entire spatial restriction with all its might.
Even so, due to its massive body, it would take a long time to completely squeeze out of the spatial passageway.
......
At the same time, somewhere in space.
There seemed to be no sky or earth here, and there was only white mist that was slowly swirling around, giving off bursts of gentle white light.
There was a white-robed elderly man standing with his hands by his side, looking up ahead.
Suddenly, there was a strange spatial fluctuation in front of him. After a series of distortions and deformation, a blurry white figure appeared.
"Tian He, why did you summon me?" The figure turned to look at the white-haired old man and asked. His voice was somewhat empty and indifferent.
"Palace Master, the Stemborer Queen is attempting to invade this realm; should we..." the elderly man asked as he cupped his fist in a respectful salute.
"Stemborer Queen? You're referring to the Eternal Life Stage Stemborer Queen from the insect realm, right? "the humanoid figure interjected before the elderly man had a chance to finish his sentence.
"Indeed, Palace Master," the elderly man replied with a nod.
"It's not appropriate for me to get involved in the affairs of the lower realms. You may have come from this realm, but seeing as you've already joined the Heavenly Palace, you should have nothing to do with it; do you understand?" the humanoid figure said in an indifferent voice.
"... Yes, Palace Master," the elderly man replied with a slightly dejected look on his face.
"The cycle of the Heavenly Dao and the Karmic Luck of the Five Elements have their own arrangements. I'll just let it run its course." As the humanoid figure spoke, piercing white light appeared around its body, and it disappeared as if it had never appeared in the first place.
