278: Blood Prison retreats, Thunder Law is fulfilled

Just as the Third Battalion completely captured the last fortress, and the remnants of the Blood Prison’s Raging Blood and Angry Tide Legions fled in panic into the depths of the Tianjue Mountain Range, an unexpected change occurred!

“Boom—!!!”

Two terrifying pressures, like volcanoes that had been dormant for billions of years, suddenly surged skyward from the churning crimson demonic clouds deep within the Tianjue Mountain Range!

So powerful was the might that it seemed to solidify the firmament, causing it to sink downwards as if unable to bear the weight.

The Eternal Calamity Demon Army soldiers pursuing below, whether True Demon, Heavenly Demon, or Profound Demon, all stiffened as if crushed by an invisible giant palm, their demonic Qi circulation becoming sluggish, able only to watch helplessly as the defeated army accelerated their disappearance into the shadowy mountain depths.

“Hmph! Zhou Kuang! Yu Lang! You, the esteemed commanders of two great legions, are you so sore losers that you personally step in to show off your power? Your faces are even thicker than the filthy blood of your Blood Prison Abyss!”

A wave of sound, more domineering and profound than collapsing mountains and exploding stars, surged from behind the Dou Demon Legion, carrying with it a will that shattered the Void Realm!

This voice was no mere roar; it contained the terrifying impact of the Dao of Battle!

Wherever the sound wave reached, the two Devil King-level pressures melted and dispersed instantly, like solid ice falling into molten lava!

In front of the Three Great Legions of the Eternal Calamity Demon Abyss, three towering demonic figures silently materialized.

The one in the center, clad in heavy Profound Black armor studded with spikes that seemed forged from star fragments, had a face as resolute as iron, and within his eyes, as they opened and closed, countless worlds seemed to be born and destroyed in illusion—this was Battle Heaven Extreme, the commander of the Dou Demon Legion!

The sound wave that shattered the pressure earlier had come from his mouth.

To his left was a man in a simple green robe, his figure slightly gaunt, white hair falling over his shoulders, his face as gentle as jade, yet in the depths of his eyes flowed the vicissitudes and coldness of one who had observed countless eons.

In his hand, he held a strange crystal that constantly shifted in form, emitting a gentle power capable of calming all chaotic fluctuations—this was Eternal Life, the master of the Eternal Life Legion!

To his right was a figure shrouded in ceaselessly swirling demonic flames, purely condensed from darkness and sharp Qi, his form indistinct, with only a pair of crimson demonic eyes, burning with unquenchable Battle Intent, piercing through the demonic flames to gaze directly into the depths of the mountain range.

His very existence was the embodiment of destruction—Demon King Luó!

“Battle Heaven Extreme! Eternal Life! Black Peak!” From the depths of the Tianjue Mountain Range, a voice as violent as a thunderclap responded, filled with indignation and venom, “The humiliation of today, our Blood Prison Abyss has noted! In the future, we will make you, the Eternal Calamity Demon Abyss, pay blood for blood!”

Before he finished speaking, a terrifying giant palm, formed from a viscous sea of blood, covering the sky and sun, carrying a dreadful aura that could corrode all worlds and defile heaven and earth, suddenly tore through the demonic clouds and slammed down fiercely towards the direction of the Three Great Legions’ commanders!

Wherever it passed, space shattered inch by inch, and the remnants of the floating fortresses along the way were instantly dissolved by the sea of blood, even the fort bases melting into molten crimson iron!

“Trifling trick!” Battle Heaven Extreme’s eyes sharpened, but he didn’t even raise his hand; he merely took a fierce step forward!

“Dong!”

This step seemed to land on the very lifeblood of the entire battlefield!

An invisible shockwave erupted centered on him, and the space for ten thousand miles ahead instantly became covered with spiderweb-like cracks, like a glass mirror struck by a huge stone!

The world-destroying giant blood sea palm crashed into this Shattered Realm space, instantly as if falling into an invisible pulverizer, torn apart and annihilated inch by inch by the turbulent spatial currents, transforming into a sky full of foul-smelling blood rain that scattered!

“Scram!” Black Peak’s voice was like billions of divine weapons clashing, icy and piercing.

The demonic flames around him suddenly surged, condensing into a colossal black blade phantom that pierced through heaven and earth, slashing fiercely towards the depths of the Blood Prison demonic clouds!

Chila!

The thick, sight-blocking Blood Prison demonic clouds above the Tianjue Mountain Range were actually torn open by this demonic flame blade light, creating a terrifying rift ten thousand miles long!

Through the rift, one could vaguely see the light of countless Blood Prison Demon Army teleportation Formations rapidly illuminating in the depths, being hastily constructed.

“Hmph!” Eternal Life let out a soft snort, and the strange crystal in his hand flickered slightly. An invisible fluctuation, as if capable of freezing time, instantly swept over the edge of the demonic cloud rift.

The demonic clouds, which were attempting to quickly close, had their peristalsis speed suddenly reduced by dozens of times!

The Three Great Legions’ commanders acted in concert, domineering, precise, and powerful! They completely trampled the Blood Prison’s two great legion commanders’ final struggles and threats underfoot!

“Retreat!” From the depths of the Blood Prison demonic clouds came Zhou Kuang’s suppressed roar, full of boundless rage yet helplessness.

The remaining Blood Prison demonic light surged deeper into the Tianjue Mountain Range like a receding tide, completely disappearing without a trace, utilizing the complex terrain and pre-set teleportation Formations.

The pervasive blood clouds also began to slowly dissipate.

The Three Great Legions of the Eternal Calamity Demon Abyss, with their military might, declared the Tianjue Mountain Range to have changed hands!

The somber atmosphere did not dissipate due to the enemy’s retreat.

The Three Great Legions quickly took over the remains of the captured fortresses and key passes, and countless demon cultivators skilled in Formations were mobilized to construct defensive structures belonging to the Eternal Calamity Demon Abyss on the ruins.

Barrier light curtains, shimmering with profound demonic patterns, rose amidst the shattered walls, connecting with the mountain’s terrain to form a new, resilient defensive line.

Demonic crystal cannons were recalibrated, their muzzles grimly pointed towards the Blood Prison Demon Abyss.

Soon after, in a large demonic hall temporarily established by Battle Heaven Extreme in the core area of the Tianjue Mountain Range, the core high-ranking members of the Three Great Legions gathered.

The atmosphere in the hall was solemn.

Battle Heaven Extreme sat in the main seat (Wu Sheng Saint Venerable had personally appointed him as commander-in-chief this time), with Eternal Life and Black Peak seated to his left and right respectively.

Below them were the vice-commanders and Devil King-level leaders of each legion, as well as core personnel responsible for intelligence, logistics, and Formations.

Ban Xuanji, as the Devil King leader of the Third Battalion of the Black Peak personal guard, was also present.

“The Tianjue Mountain defense line has been initially stabilized. This time, the Saint Venerable’s wisdom was evident in ordering our Three Great Legions to arrive together, catching the Blood Prison off guard. However, the Blood Prison Abyss will never let this go easily.” Battle Heaven Extreme’s voice was low, his gaze sweeping over everyone, “The most urgent task is to quickly ascertain the situation of that Small World.”

As the words “Small World” were uttered, the eyes of all Devil King-level and above powerhouses in the hall narrowed.

“This King has already sent people to investigate; those below the Devil King realm can barely approach its rift entrance. This time, we need to dispatch powerhouses above the Devil King realm to delve deeper into exploration!” Eternal Life spoke slowly, his voice calm but carrying undeniable weight, “This realm is definitely not simple. The Blood Prison Abyss has already sent many Devil Kings in a few days ago, we must make a decision quickly!”

“The Secret Realm is perilous, space is chaotic, and the Laws of the Dao are distorted, making it difficult for large legions to enter.” Black Peak’s voice was like metal grinding, “I propose that each of the Three Great Legions draw elite Devil Kings to form several small teams to enter and investigate together. One, to ascertain the Blood Prison’s movements; two, to search for the core object of the Secret Realm; and three, to map the interior, preparing for the subsequent occupation of the Small World.”

“Seconded.”

“Agreed.”

The high-ranking officials in the hall nodded in succession.

This plan was undoubtedly the most stable and effective.

The meeting quickly finalized the principles for forming the exploration teams and their initial objectives.

Orders were immediately issued to each legion.

Ban Xuanji returned to the fortress where the Third Battalion was stationed with the military order.

The officers and soldiers in the camp were seizing the time to rest, heal, and replenish their losses.

In an independent quiet room deep within the fortress, equipped with a powerful isolation Formation, Xiao Zhuo sat cross-legged.

“Three hundred eighty-seven thousand five hundred Attribute Points…” He looked at the vast number of Attribute Points finally settled on the panel, his eyes gleaming.

Great Thousand World Attribute Points had a better effect; deriving a Law only required a thousand points. Such a large number of Attribute Points was enough to allow his strength to Breakthrough the Devil King realm in a short time, ushering in a qualitative leap!

He took a deep breath, suppressing the excitement in his heart.

He summoned the panel, his mind sinking into it, and began to derive the Law of Thunder.

The process of deriving the Law was no different from before—the White Mist Space descended, and mysterious power began to construct Law divine chains upon a rune surrounded by thunder.

Xiao Zhuo only needed to follow suit; he was already familiar with this process.

Even if the Great Thousand World Law was more profound and intricate, its structure and trajectory far exceeding the past, it couldn’t stump him.

Attribute Points were steadily consumed like a tide.

In the White Mist Space, One by one Law divine chains, containing endless Profound Truths of Thunder, were precisely imprinted upon the thunder rune under the engraving of that mysterious power.

Xiao Zhuo followed closely, concentrating on replicating every trace of the trajectory onto his own Law of Thunder rune, without the slightest deviation.

Finally, after consuming over sixty thousand Attribute Points, the Great Thousand World Law of Thunder rune achieved complete Perfection, emanating a flawless golden Dao rhyme!

A mighty and irresistible surge of dense thunder power instantly surged within the quiet room, with flickering electric light!
