503: Hundred Refinement Demon Lord

Yao Delong snapped his head around!

A savage expression was fully revealed on his tattoo-covered face, his crimson pupils churning with the most primal, violent murderous intent.

The "he-he" rasps coming from his throat sounded like the roar of a Vicious Beast whose reverse scale had been touched!

The thousand mechanisms origin core inside his Dantian vibrated frantically, perfectly blending his will to kill with a simulated Blood Fiend resentment.

Wisps of terrifying baleful thoughts pricked toward Savage Demon like needles!

He needed a "reasonable" fit of madness to cover up any hint of abnormality!

The entire air froze for a moment!

Around the Formation eye, the suspicious gazes of several other nearby Early Stage Spirit Transformation old demons cast over like vultures!

"Brother Blood Fiend!!"

A wildly exaggerated smile, thick with the sense of "appreciation," suddenly broke out on Savage Demon's coarse and hideous face!

Not only did he not let go, but he slapped "Blood Fiend's" shoulder twice with even more force and a louder sound,

slapping so hard that the demonic rock beneath the other man's feet sank slightly!

"Haha! Good! Excellent! This is more like it! Bloody enough! Wild enough!"

Savage Demon's bell-like giant eyes flickered with a crimson madness as he stuck out his tongue and licked his white fangs as if tasting some delicacy.

"The spirit of your Blood Fiend Demonic Technique... tsk tsk!

It's much stronger than those useless snacks outside who only dare to hide in the back and secretly suck on bone scraps!

Only this is worthy of standing here and staring at this once-in-a-millennium cauldron of flesh and blood!"

His attention, like a wandering leech, turned greedily once again toward the Nine Yang Golden Bell barrier at the bottom of the abyss, which was rapidly dimming in light,

with cracks spreading frantically, already teetering like a cracked eggshell!

Inside, figures flickered, and desperate cries of misery could be faintly heard! This was the most beautiful main course!

The tight string in Yao Delong's heart suddenly snapped loose!

His killing intent lay deeper in dormancy. His throat continued to emit low, unwilling, muffled "wu-wu" growls like a beast protecting its food.

The muscles on his face twitched, showing a violent sort of gratification after being "misunderstood" and then slightly comforted,

perfectly matching Blood Fiend's twisted nature of being both suspicious and admiring of the strong!

Danger temporarily averted! Intelligence obtained!

Six hub nodes! Three core auxiliary Formation eyes!

An invisible, lethal blueprint for destruction had been completely laid out in Yao Delong's mind!

Every weakness was as clear as starlight in the night!

Outside the abyss, at the edge of the thick demonic miasma!

Five figures, their auras so weak they almost dissipated into the spatial dust, lay quietly in wait.

On Night Hawk Captain's stone-carved face, every deep wrinkle was tightened to the extreme!

His hawk-like gaze pierced through the layers of surging, murky demonic mist, locking onto the direction of the rift valley entrance.

The strange change in the core Formation's light just now was like a giant boulder thrown into the lake of his heart!

"Captain... that fluctuation just now... it was definitely man-made! Was it him...?"

A team member's lowered voice carried an unbelievable shock, yet it also hid a spark of expectation.

Night Hawk Captain did not answer, but slowly, very slowly, took a deep breath of air saturated with the smell of blood and decaying corpses.

That hand, which had held a poison-coated short dagger year-round with joints like the twisted roots of an ancient pine,

was now tightly clutching a bone talisman that was black all over, yet seemed to have ice-crystal bloodlines flowing inside—

it was the "Blood Midge Talisman" secretly bestowed by the Sect before their departure! Once shattered, the Sect's higher-ups would surely sense its location and the danger Rank!

This was also their final reliance and backup plan!

"Remember the mission."

Night Hawk Captain's voice was low, like sparks rubbed from stone, each word striking into the hearts of the other four like a brand.

"Protecting Yao Delong is the sole core!

If something happens, even if all five of us turn to ashes, we must tear open a gap for him!

Everything else... is irrelevant!" His gaze turned toward the depths of the rift valley, his determination even transcending life and death itself!

Just as his voice fell!

"Woo—!!!"

At the far end of the sky, a terrifying demonic might suddenly erupted, surpassing all the demonic cultivators present,

so cold and viscous it made one's Soul frost over!

A vast, boundless expanse of lead-gray clouds swept over like a doomsday tide!

Wherever the clouds passed, the ten-thousand-year permafrost crust below cracked silently, giving rise to ghastly and hideous bone flower thickets!

At the core of the clouds was a giant throne made entirely of stacked, crystal-clear humanoid skeletons burning with green phosphorus fire!

A person sat upon the throne. He was clad in dark purple demonic armor that seemed to be condensed from the wails of ten thousand wronged Souls,

his face shrouded beneath a hideous mask that was constantly writhing and changing, seemingly composed of countless tiny faces of pain.

The only things visible were those eyes, two points of green phosphorus fire burning at the end of the abyss!

It felt as if with just one glance, one's Soul could be frozen and extracted!

Old Demon Hundred Refinements!

Void Refinement Mid-stage! His ferocious reputation had lasted for hundreds of years!

In the face of multiple full-scale encirclements by the Yin Yang Sect and the Moyang Sect, he had always managed to escape unscathed!

Before his throne, there were over a hundred demonic generals with fierce and cruel auras, the lowest being at the peak of the Golden Core,

and several who had clearly reached the Spirit Transformation Realm!

The leader among them had his figure wrapped in churning, filthy demonic smoke, the half-face he revealed being twisted with bone-deep resentment,

it was none other than the defector from the Righteous Path—Current Marquis!

Although the Early Stage Spirit Transformation demonic Qi fluctuations on him were unstable, they possessed a bloody, deviant power of frantic devouring!

Rumble!

The Hundred Refinements Bone Throne crushed through space! Charging straight for the rift valley!

So fast that within a few breaths, the massive shadow of death was already close at hand!

"Night Hawk?! To think it's you few little bugs? You dare block this venerable one's path?"

A grand, cold voice with a non-human tone pierced through the air!

The voice didn't seem to come from a throat, but sounded like a mixture of the murmurs of ten thousand dying people!

The demonic miasma around the five Night Hawks instantly solidified like iron! An invisible power of deathly imprisonment descended upon them!

"Action! Intercept him! At any cost! Buy time for those in the valley!"

The last trace of hesitation in Night Hawk Captain's eyes burned away! A roar like the bursting of metal erupted from his mouth!

The "Blood Midge Talisman" in his hand was instantly dyed a piercing gold-red by the pure essence suddenly spat out from his palm!

At the bottom of the valley, in the center of the Melting Abyss Demonic Shadows!

"Old Demon Hundred Refinements is coming?!"

Savage Demon snapped his head up, a strange light mixed with wariness and greed erupting in his bell-like eyes!

He licked his lips. "Good! The things that old ghost sets his sights on are generally extraordinary. When he arrives, we can follow along..."

The other powerful Spirit Transformation demonic cultivators, such as Burning Rock Demon and Ghost Poison Granny, were also shaken, their gazes toward the valley entrance filled with complexity.

"Hmph! Let him come! But the Formation eye here is temporarily stabilized!"

Yao Delong (Blood Fiend) let out a timely, arrogant, and coarse low growl,

"Brother Savage Demon, after two days of continuous fighting, those few mouthfuls of blood food weren't even enough to line my stomach!

The consumption is too great! I need to recover on the spot! Lest my hands and feet go soft later when dividing the meat, and I can't snatch it from others!"

A naked desire and restlessness were revealed in his crimson eyes,

coupled with the weary fluctuations of Demonic Essence simulated by the thousand mechanisms origin core, there was not a single flaw!

"Haha! Go, go!"

Savage Demon was feeling annoyed by the energy collision fluctuations that had suddenly arisen outside the valley, which seemed to involve some impressive means, so he waved his giant hand impatiently,

"Get lost and rest! Don't get in my sight!"

His mind was not on this "insignificant Blood Fiend" at all; he was entirely drawn by the "personal arrival of Hundred Refinements" and "Night Hawk's desperate obstruction!"

Is something big about to happen? Or has a stronger prey been discovered outside?
