305: Quasi-Saint Beheading Corpse

“It’s you?” The corners of the black-robed man’s mouth curved slightly, and a hint of realization flashed in his eyes. “The little fellow from a million years ago has actually reached this realm. It truly makes this Venerable sigh!”

At the end of the sky, a middle-aged figure in a light grey plain robe rapidly approached, and in the blink of an eye, he was before the black-robed man.

He stood still, as if the world had shifted to deliver him to this place.

“Greetings, Saint Venerable! Your subordinates are incompetent! Please punish this Saint Venerable!” Eternal Life and the others, seeing the newcomer, their eyes flashed with joy, then they looked ashamed and knelt in mid-air.

The newcomer was none other than the master of the Eternal Tribulation Demon Abyss—Wu Sheng Saint Venerable Jie Wusheng.

“Oh? Fellow Daoist recognizes this Venerable?” Jie Wusheng remained unmoved, not even glancing at the Three Great Devil Kings of Eternal Tribulation. He merely raised his eyes indifferently to meet the black-robed man’s gaze, his eyes filled with inquiry.

Suddenly, his gaze narrowed slightly: “You are Great Annihilation Demon Venerable?”

“Heh heh! There’s still someone who remembers this Venerable?” The black-robed man chuckled lightly at the words, yet then shook his head, “This Venerable is him, and also not him!”

Jie Wusheng’s expression was solemn.

Great Annihilation Demon Venerable, a titan of the Demon Realm a million years ago, once orchestrated that world-shaking war that swept through the Immortal-Demon Realm and drew several Saints into the fray.

At that time, he was already hailed as the most promising existence to achieve a saint position. If not for the Great Thousand World’s Origin being hidden, he would have likely ascended to the Saint Realm long ago.

What the other party meant by “is and is not,” he understood—this was the method of a quasi-Saint achieving Dao through Severed Corpse, either slaying good, evil, or the self, or slaying past, future, and present.

This person must be one of Great Annihilation Demon Venerable’s Three Corpses, but he wondered if he had slain good, evil, or the most difficult to slay, the self?

Jie Wusheng’s eyes flickered, his thoughts churning.

The man, however, spoke again: “You may call this Venerable ‘Heitian.’ Since you have come personally, this Venerable will give you Face. These three, you may take them away. Hereafter, do not disturb again!”

“Agreed!”

Jie Wusheng was currently feared by many Abyss Masters, and the Three Great Legions’ leaders were important combat forces under his command. Since the other party was willing to release them, he was also unwilling to rashly engage with such an ancient powerhouse, so he nodded in thanks.

He casually waved his hand, and the figures of the three Devil Kings instantly vanished without a trace.

Heitian Demon Venerable did not stop them, merely observing with indifference.

“This time, my Eternal Tribulation Demon Abyss was reckless and caused much offense! This Venerable will remember Fellow Daoist’s favor,” Jie Wusheng said softly, his expression returning to indifference.

Heitian Demon Venerable nodded in response, his gaze suddenly shifting to the other side: “Old Ghost Blood Demon! How long do you plan to hide?”

Before his voice faded, a mass of blood-red energy appeared out of thin air, instantly solidifying into a plump, corpulent old man in blood-red robes.

He had no beard on his mouth, but his two white eyebrows hung unusually long, reaching his shoulders.

“I never imagined that the fragments of the battlefield from a million years ago would be hidden within my Blood Prison! Fellow Daoist Heitian truly astonishes this old man!” The old man’s tone was calm, showing no embarrassment at his presence being discovered.

“Heh heh! Old fellow! A million years ago, you deserted in battle, causing my eldest Disciple to fall! This debt, it’s time to settle it today!” Unlike his treatment of Jie Wusheng, Heitian Demon Venerable’s tone suddenly turned chilling upon seeing the old man appear.

A thick killing intent surged forth with his thoughts, and the surroundings instantly became overcast with dark clouds, the cold bone-chilling.

“Fellow Daoist! Regarding the events of that year, this old man has a clear conscience! If Fellow Daoist insists on settling it, then let’s have a fight!” Blood Demon Venerable was utterly fearless, treating the surging killing intent as if it were nothing.

Jie Wusheng had no intention of delving into their grievances. His figure flickered and vanished without a trace.

The two also paid no mind to his departure; the atmosphere between them was stagnant, with undercurrents surging.

Heitian Demon Venerable narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing Blood Demon Venerable.

This person was also an old acquaintance from a million years ago, both in the quasi-Saint Realm.

At that time, he was not the master of Blood Prison, but clearly, after the world-shaking war, the original master of Blood Prison, Myriad Blood Saint Venerable, had fallen, and this person had taken control of the Blood Prison Abyss.

His Dao of Blood, his ability to preserve his life was absolutely top-notch.

Heitian knew that even if he could win, it would be difficult to harm his foundation.

However, today, those three Blood Prison juniors below would not escape this place alive!

With his mind set, Heitian Demon Venerable’s pitch-black eyes coldly locked onto the three heavily injured Devil Kings of Blood Prison below: Night Without Double, Zhou Kuang, and Yu Lang.

“Today, I’ll collect some interest first! These three Blood Prison juniors…” Heitian Demon Venerable’s voice was like a chilling wind from the Nine Nether, “None of them will live!”

Before his words finished, his right hand, condensed with terrifying energy and causing space to collapse, suddenly spread its five fingers and pressed down fiercely towards the three Blood Prison Devil Kings below!

“Om—!”

There was no earth-shattering roar, only the dull hum of space being instantly twisted and compressed by extreme force!

The area where Night Without Double, Zhou Kuang, and Yu Lang were located seemed to be clutched in the palm of an invisible, world-encompassing dark giant hand!

Space itself became the cruelest torture instrument, collapsing and squeezing inward madly!

“Ugh ah—!” Night Without Double bore the brunt. His Divine Soul, already severely wounded by the backlash of fear, was now frantically torn apart by the invisible spatial force!

The Origin of his Dao of Darkness within him trembled violently and wailed as if encountering a natural enemy, showing signs of being forcibly extracted and annihilated by that higher-ranked darkness!

What gushed from his seven orifices was no longer demon blood, but viscous, inky black fragments of darkness containing Origin Law!

Zhou Kuang’s eyes were splitting, wanting to explode his sea of blood for a final struggle.

However, the collapsing space tightly imprisoned and compressed his blood fiend Qi, and even his proud Slaughter Sword Bone emitted a teeth-grinding “creak” of shattering under the double crushing of pure physical force and Law!

Crimson blood seeped frantically from all his pores, yet it was instantly pressed back into his body by the spatial force, forming terrifying bloodstains!

Yu Lang’s Dao runes were already covered in cracks. At this moment, he only felt immense pressure bearing down on him, unable to even let out a roar of rage!

His demon body, which Cultivated the Dao of Rage and was as hard as divine iron, seemed like glazed glass thrown into a furnace, cracking open in the terrifying spatial distortion field!

The boiling Dao runes within him were forcibly suppressed, and the backlash instantly pulverized his internal organs!

“Heitian! How dare you!”

Blood Demon Venerable’s enraged roar echoed through heaven and earth!

He never expected Heitian Demon Venerable to be so ruthless and decisive, acting immediately in front of him, a quasi-Saint of the same rank, directly targeting his three legion commanders!

“Boundless Sea of Blood! Suppress them for me!”

Blood Demon Venerable’s corpulent body instantly erupted with a monstrous blood-red light!

An infinite, viscous, sweet-smelling blood-red ocean surged forth from thin air, instantly engulfing hundreds of millions of miles of Void Realm!

This sea of blood was extraordinary, containing the power of Blood Demon Venerable’s Dao Fruit. Every drop of blood was as heavy as a mountain, containing the terrifying power to devour life force and defile wan fa (myriad laws)!

The sea of blood churned, instantly transforming into three extremely condensed, crimson barriers inscribed with countless ancient blood runes, like three sky-supporting blood shields, forcibly cutting into the collapsing, twisted space and blocking in front of Night Without Double and the other two!

“Hiss—hiss—!”

Heitian Demon Venerable’s invisible spatial giant hand violently collided with the blood sea barriers!

There was no loud bang, only the harsh friction sound of Laws intensely annihilating each other!

The spatial collapse force frantically tore at the blood sea barriers, countless blood-red runes disintegrated and regenerated, and viscous blood plasma was forcibly evaporated and turned into nothingness by the spatial force!

The blood sea barriers trembled violently, thinning at a visible rate!

Blood Demon Venerable’s white eyebrows stood on end, his plump Face no longer composed, only solemnity and fury remained.

He rapidly formed hand seals, and the sea of blood, manifested by the Dao of Blood, burned madly. The three barriers glowed with intense blood-red light, barely stabilizing their collapse, and even showed faint signs of pushing back!

Within the sea of blood, countless ferocious blood-red demon shadows roared out, carrying evil power that defiled Divine Souls and gnawed at Laws, rushing straight towards Heitian Demon Venerable’s Main Body!

“Hmph! Old ghost, a million years have passed, and your abilities have indeed improved quite a bit!” Heitian Demon Venerable snorted coldly, facing the surging torrent of defiling blood demons, his eyes holding only cold disdain.

He did not retract his right hand, which was suppressing the three demons. He merely pointed his left hand like a sword and casually slashed at the surging blood demons!

“Sever!”

A pure, dark line, as if capable of cutting through Chaos and Grandmist, silently appeared in the Void Realm!

Wherever the fine line passed, time, space, Law... all things, tangible and intangible, were smoothly split in two!

The hundreds of millions of defiling blood demons rushing towards him, as if striking an invisible and absolute boundary, solidified in movement the moment they touched the dark line, then silently disintegrated, turning into primordial Qi, greedily swallowed and annihilated by that dark line! Not a single ripple was stirred!

And just as Heitian Demon Venerable was distracted, annihilating the defiling blood demons, Blood Demon Venerable’s eyes flared with blood-red light!

“Blood Escape · Shifting Stars and Changing Dippers!”

The three struggling blood sea barriers suddenly collapsed inward, no longer resisting head-on, transforming into three rapidly spinning gigantic blood-red whirlpools!

A terrifying suction force erupted from the center of the whirlpools, instantly sucking in the almost pulverized, dying demon bodies of Night Without Double and the other two by the spatial force!

“Trying to leave?!” Heitian Demon Venerable’s killing intent shot to the sky, and he fiercely clenched his right palm downwards!

“Boom—!!!”

That extremely compressed space finally could not withstand the ultimate gripping force and shattered with a roar, like a fragile glass sphere!

A miniature spatial black hole that devoured all light suddenly formed! Terrifying suction and a storm of spatial fragments instantly raged!

However, it was ultimately a fraction of a second too late!

Just as the three blood-red whirlpools were on the verge of being swallowed by the black hole, they flashed violently, as if teleporting, carrying the severely damaged demon bodies and Divine Souls of Night Without Double and the other two, narrowly escaping the black hole’s absolute Devour range, appearing deep within the churning sea of blood behind Blood Demon Venerable!

“Heitian!” Blood Demon Venerable’s voice suppressed monstrous rage, the sea of blood around him roared and churned, and hundreds of millions of blood-red lightning bolts brewed within it, “You go too far!”

Heitian Demon Venerable slowly retracted his hands, placing them behind his back, his expression unchanged.

He looked at the three Devil Kings, floating in the sea of blood behind Blood Demon Venerable, their auras as weak as flickering candles in the wind, and a cruel arc curved on his lips.

“Old ghost, do you really think you can protect them?”

He took a step forward, his black robe fluttering without wind.

Hundreds of thousands of miles of Void Realm groaned under his single step, unable to bear the weight.

“The one this Venerable intends to kill, even if they escape to the end of time, will only… Face complete annihilation of body and soul!”

A deeper, more terrifying darkness, centered on him, began to devour all light in the entire Blood Prison Abyss!

At the same time, in the Place of Cessation of Grief.

Hao Duo glanced helplessly towards the direction of the rift, sighing softly: “It seems Heitian is truly difficult to restrain.”

“This Venerable already stated! With Heitian’s nature, how could he be willing to lie low!” A voice suddenly sounded, responding to Hao Duo’s words.

“So what? Are you suggesting the two of you fight again?” Hao Duo turned his head, looking at the golden coffin.

Inside the golden coffin, there was no sound for a long time.
