Chapter 25  Unleashing Power! Cleaning Up the Battlefield!

“Die for me!”

The Dust Whisk in the hand of the Lord of Samsara Palace suddenly expanded to forty meters long. With a gentle wave, an overwhelming force surged from heaven and earth, instantly crushing ten Blood Corpse Demons into dust.

The Transcendence Spirits within the Blood Corpse Demons tried to escape. As long as their Transcendence Spirits survived and found new bodies, they could live on!

But how could the Lord of Samsara Palace let such an opportunity slip by?

With a wave of his hand, a fierce gale like the sharpest blade shredded the fleeing Transcendence Spirits.

A similar scene unfolded on the battlefield of the Lord of Taiyin Palace. Eight Blood Corpse Demons stood before him. Seeing the Lord of Samsara display his divine might, he roared angrily, “Only eight? Are you looking down on me? Die, all of you!”

Though he was only at the Second Layer of the Celestial Evolution Realm, he suddenly erupted with the power of the Ninth Layer. Even stronger than the Lord of Samsara Palace by a whole tier. Before the eight Blood Corpse Demons could react, they were blown to pieces, killed on the spot.

“You old fox! You were hiding your strength better than I was!”

Not far away, the Lord of Samsara Palace was both annoyed and anxious. He couldn’t believe he’d been outdone.

“Hahaha!”

“Glad you noticed!”

The Lord of Taiyin Palace was in high spirits. After finishing his enemies, he turned to aid the others.

“Trying to run now?”

Far in the distance, the Lord of Xuanyin Palace wielded a massive forty-meter-long broadsword,

relentlessly chasing and hacking down nearly twenty Blood Corpse Demons of the Celestial Evolution Realm.

The scene was overwhelming. His aura, too, had reached the Ninth Layer of the Celestial Evolution Realm. Under the swing of that massive blade, the twenty Blood Corpse Demons were all slaughtered in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea.

“Wasn’t this guy stuck at the First Layer of Celestial Evolution before?”

“That sly old dog, always claiming to be straightforward and open.”

“Turns out he’s been bluffing us all along!”

The Lord of Samsara Palace’s eyes were red with envy. Was he really the weakest among them?

No — there was still one more!

He quickly turned to look at the Lord of Demon Battle Palace. And then his jaw nearly dropped. The Lord of Demon Battle Palace was charging straight toward the battle in the air — the domain of the Dao-Seeking Realm!

His aura… shockingly, was at the First Layer of the Dao-Seeking Realm!

“Holy hell!”

“This guy — so quiet all the time — turns out he’s been secretly breaking through! He’s already reached the Dao-Seeking Realm!”

The Lord of Samsara Palace was heavily hit, silently swearing to train harder and surpass them all when they returned. The Lord of Taiyin Palace glanced at the Lord of Demon Battle Palace and said,

“That guy’s probably close to the end of his path. He should rest soon.”

“What about the Grand Palace Lord?”

He looked around and realized that the Grand Palace Lord had already finished his battle. His opponents — three Blood Corpse Demons at the Ninth Layer of the Celestial Evolution Realm — had long since been slain. And the aura radiating from the Grand Palace Lord… was at the Second Layer of the Dao-Seeking Realm!

“This old monster probably didn’t even use his full power…”

The Lord of Taiyin Palace muttered to himself, then turned his gaze across the battlefield. As expected, despite the large numbers of the Blood Corpse Demon Clan, the battle was completely one-sided!

Not a single person from Sacred Demon Mountain was even injured. Each of the elders at the Transformation Realm was astonishingly fierce. Once the True Spirit Daoist gave the command, they suddenly lifted their restraints and ended the battle in an instant!

“You detestable humans!”

“You’re disgusting!”

“I never want to see you again in this lifetime!”

A Blood Corpse Demon at the Heavenly Evolution Realm roared in rage.

What kind of people were these!?

Their cultivation levels just kept climbing higher and higher!

The Grand Palace Lord, together with several other Palace Lords, slaughtered dozens of Blood Corpse Demons at the Heavenly Evolution Realm. However, there were still several others of that realm fighting in different areas of the battlefield. They tried to bully some of the weaker elders.

For those, the Grand Palace Lord and the others didn’t kill them — they gave them a beating and temporarily imprisoned them instead. Then, they moved through the battlefield, subduing all the surviving Blood Corpse Demons.

After finishing all this, they looked up toward the sky. The battle at the Dao Seeking Realm seemed to have concluded as well.

Boom…!

A figure plummeted from the sky, cracking the earth. A crater several miles wide formed like a spiderweb. Before the dust settled, another figure fell, followed by three more. The ground sank for a full thousand miles. Finally, the loudest crash yet echoed out.

The Blood Corpse Patriarch had been defeated.

He lay on the ground, blood oozing from his seven orifices, his eyes dull and vacant. He was stunned.

Despite being only one realm apart, he had been utterly overwhelmed—completely outmatched. But he was the Blood Corpse Patriarch!

He couldn’t believe it…

He bitterly regretted getting involved with the treacherous Xuanyou Sect.

Who would’ve thought Sacred Demon Mountain was hiding such terrifying strength?

The Blood Corpse Demon Clan was just slightly weaker than the Sacred Lands, and though they lacked deep foundations, they still had seven Dao Seeking Realm experts. He himself was at the ninth level of the Dao Seeking Realm — nearly the peak of power.

And yet today, he was completely crushed. By just one person — the True Spirit Daoist. The Patriarch had a terrifying thought: it felt like the True Spirit Daoist wasn’t even using his full strength…

The True Spirit Daoist restrained his aura, descended from the sky, looked at the Blood Corpse Patriarch, and raised a hand to cast a rune. The rune entered the patriarch’s sea of consciousness, controlling his transformation spirit and branding him with a slave mark!

“Don’t even think about it!”

“I’d rather die than be humiliated!”

The Blood Corpse Patriarch roared.

Bang!

The True Spirit Daoist kicked him unconscious and snorted coldly.

“Too noisy.”

Then, he branded slave marks into five more Blood Corpse Demon bodies, completely enslaving them. After that, the other Palace Lords also branded the remaining Blood Corpse Demons’ transformation spirits with slave marks.

The entire Blood Corpse Demon Clan had fallen under their control!

“Heh, you old geezer — you’re already at the Heavenly Evolution Realm, and you were still pretending to be a mid-level Transformation Realm? Shame on you!”

“Hmph! Look who’s talking. Aren’t you also at the Heavenly Evolution Realm?”

“Haha, pot calling the kettle black!”

With the battle over, some of the elders began teasing each other, joking about how much they’d been hiding their cultivation levels. The atmosphere was very relaxed. The only one who didn’t feel relaxed was probably the Reincarnation Palace Lord.

He was at the eighth level of the Heavenly Evolution Realm — yet somehow, the weakest among them. Everyone else just kept outdoing each other. Especially that Demon Battle Palace Lord.

Usually so quiet — who would’ve guessed he had already reached the Dao Seeking Realm!?

“Alright, alright, it’s not that big a deal,” the Lunar Palace Lord patted him on the shoulder in consolation.

“Get lost!” The Reincarnation Palace Lord roared.

“That’s enough.”

“The battle’s over. Clean up the battlefield, and take anything of value from the Blood Corpse Demon Clan,” the True Spirit Daoist said calmly, hands behind his back.

“Once we’re done here, we head to the Xuanyou Sect. The battle at the sect should be over by now too!”
