716: The power of the fragments of the Heavenly Capital Magic Mirror

“Fellow Daoist Zhou has a way?”

Ye Lingshuang’s eyes lit up as she looked at Zhou Shixi.

She had managed to smoothly pass through the outer reaches of this demon cave and safely arrive here, witnessing these sleeping Blood Bats, already surpassing the vast majority of Cultivators who had entered this demon cave.

And all of this was due to the tall young man before her, who was similar in age to her.

If word got out,

most Cultivators in this world would likely not believe it.

Two young juniors could actually reach this place.

However, reaching this core area was already the limit.

The sleeping Blood Bats in the boundless dense forest ahead.

Once transformed into a blood cloud and rushed out of this demon cave.

They annihilated several great sects.

Extremely terrifying.

Even her Revered Master, Venerable Lingyun, the Lingyun Sect’s foremost person, might not be able to retreat unscathed from this boundless swarm of Blood Bats.

And this young man, who had already given her too many surprises and shocks, still had a method.

If he could achieve it,

it would mean that the young man before her, in some aspects, was even stronger than her Revered Master, Venerable Lingyun.

What an inconceivable matter this was.

Her Revered Master was already a figure standing at the pinnacle of this world.

Only a handful of people in this world could be compared to him.

“I can try.”

Zhou Shixi was calculating something in his mind.

He nodded gently.

His gaze shifted from the mysterious forest, filled with bloodthirsty intent.

He glanced at the black-winged small beast on his shoulder, which had fallen into a deep sleep.

Zhou Shixi’s expression became solemn.

He reached out his hand.

As Zhou Shixi moved, Ye Lingshuang’s gaze fell upon his palm.

The next instant.

Whoosh~

A broken, palm-sized fragment appeared in Zhou Shixi’s palm.

“This…”

Ye Lingshuang’s mind trembled.

She subconsciously closed her eyes.

Just a glance, and her mind seemed to be completely drawn into the faint patterns on this fragment.

The faint patterns outlined seemed to be the supreme Dao.

Any Cultivator who saw these patterns, regardless of their cultivation level, would be captivated by them.

However, this fragment was broken, and it seemed to be suppressed.

That’s why she had the chance.

To break free from this fragment in that instant.

Ye Lingshuang was filled with lingering fear.

This was a supreme treasure, yet it was also like a poison.

Emitting a fatal attraction.

Such a supreme treasure could actually be shattered, sealed, and turned into its current state… Ye Lingshuang was horrified.

But she no longer dared to look at Zhou Shixi’s palm.

“A fragment of the heavenly capital demon mirror…”

Zhou Shixi’s expression was solemn.

This fragment had a remaining seal from a divine stele, so he was not affected by it.

This was the treasure that almost cost him his life back then.

According to the An Xing envoy,

this heavenly capital demon mirror had likely surpassed the scope of a seventh-rank true treasure.

It was a treasure second only to Dao soldiers.

Although it was shattered by the divine stele and its power greatly diminished,

it was still formidable.

Now it was just right to put it to use.

He remembered the scene vividly.

Within this heavenly capital demon mirror, there was a river of blood.

Blood Qi surged to the sky.

It had an extremely strong attractive force for living beings.

However, whether Cultivators or Yao Beasts, whoever was attracted by this blood river.

Would become a part of this blood river.

He had another supreme treasure protecting him, which gave him the chance to wait for his Clan to arrive and rescue him.

Although the one in his hand was just a fragment,

within it, there still existed a phantom of a blood river.

If a little bit was activated and vibrated out,

those bloodthirsty Blood Bats would definitely be attracted by this fragment.

At that time,

they would certainly be trapped by the blood river phantom.

Zhou Shixi pondered the feasibility of this method.

After a moment,

Zhou Shixi slowly nodded.

As if he had made a decision.

He had obtained this fragment for quite some time.

Although his cultivation was too low,

he couldn’t utilize it at all.

But if it was just to let this fragment release a little bit of Qi,

he should still be able to do it.

He only needed to use his own Qi to resonate with the suppressing force on this fragment.

Then he could temporarily activate a trace of this fragment’s original power.

“Be careful.”

Zhou Shixi transmitted a message to Ye Lingshuang beside him.

Although he had some confidence,

neither the heavenly capital demon mirror fragment nor the Blood Bats were ordinary.

His cultivation was not enough.

He could only try his best.

It was difficult to control all the intricacies within.

If there was even a slight oversight,

it could probably put him in a life-or-death situation.

“Okay.”

Ye Lingshuang knew the importance of the situation.

Although there was little she could do, she still focused her mind and slowly circulated her own magical power.

Zhou Shixi no longer hesitated.

He then attached a wisp of his Zhou Family Bloodline Qi to the fragment in his palm.

Buzz~

Zhou Shixi’s mind moved.

The fragment in his palm suddenly flew out.

Boom!

Just then.

The Bloodline Qi attached to the fragment and the sealing force vibrated in unison.

On the fragment.

A phantom of a blood-colored long river appeared in that instant.

The blood river was like the Dao.

As the blood river phantom appeared,

in the distant, silent, dark, dense forest.

Red lanterns appeared one by one.

Hanging on the branches of towering trees.

Looking closely, one would find that they were not lanterns, but rather blood-colored eyes.

Boom!

Boundless blood clouds and vast Demonic Qi surged into the sky.

The blood clouds covered the sky, unstoppable.

“Screech…”

There seemed to be sounds of bat cries vibrating the Void Realm.

Within the dense forest.

Blood-colored demon bats, waking from their slumber and soaring into the air, rushed towards the blood river phantom, which was like the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth, like moths to a flame.

Unstoppable.

In the distance.

Another fragment appeared in Zhou Shixi’s hand.

This was the key to his ability to withstand the corrosion of the blood river within the heavenly capital demon mirror back then.

It was an Opportunity he had obtained by chance.

However, for so long, he had not figured out what it actually was.

The only thing he was certain of was that.

This nameless fragment was definitely extraordinary.

It could resist the erosion of the heavenly capital demon mirror and protect his heart and life.

At this moment,

Zhou Shixi shielded Ye Lingshuang behind him.

He used this fragment in his hand to resist the erosion of the blood river phantom and conceal himself.

With a solemn expression, he looked towards the distant blood cloud and blood river phantom.

Clusters of blood clouds successively plunged into the blood river phantom, into the fragment.

Wanting to swallow that vast and boundless blood river Dao.

But the moment they plunged into the blood river phantom,

they immediately lost control of themselves.

And sank into the blood river phantom.

“Screech… Screech…”

Several chilling bat cries echoed in the hearts of Zhou Shixi and Ye Lingshuang.

Only to see three huge, blood-colored figures, with bat wings spread to cover the sky and earth, flying out from the depths of the dense forest.

They rushed into the blood-colored long river phantom.

“It’s actually three Deity Transformation Demon Venerables…”

Zhou Shixi did not dare to move.

As the three great Demon Venerables eagerly plunged into the blood river phantom,

the rest of the Blood Bats did the same.

“It’s done.”

A moment later.

Within the dense forest.

No more blood-colored figures flew out.

Between heaven and earth.

Only a fragment covered with patterns floated in the air.

Around the fragment, a blood-colored long river phantom enveloped it.

However, at this moment, tiny red dots appeared within this blood river phantom.

Among them, three were brighter.

The red dots seemed to be struggling.

The blood-colored long river phantom trembled.

Causing the fragment to also begin to tremble slightly.
