Chapter 159 Elders of the Demonic Society
"Who are you?"
That Grandmaster asked with murderous intent.
Chu Han waved his hand, and a mask appeared on his face—the same style he wore when seizing the bodhi fruit that day.
"It's you! How can you be so young?"
This group of Martial Artists still didn't believe it.
Suddenly, two golden lights shot out from Chu Han's eyes.
In the next moment, the consciousness of all these Martial Artists was trapped within Chu Han's Spiritual Domain.
Except for the Grandmaster who still knew what was happening, the consciousness of the others was ruthlessly obliterated as soon as they entered the Domain.
"This is impossible! How can you use the bodhi tree's mental attack methods?"
"Could it be that you have already absorbed the bodhi fruit!?"
Despair filled the Grandmaster's face. In the next instant, he was swallowed by the infinite Mental Energy within the Spiritual Domain, falling completely under Chu Han's control.
"Are you people from the Mosheng Society?" Chu Han asked.
"Yes," the Grandmaster replied mechanically, his eyes dull.
His Sea of Consciousness was completely under Chu Han's control; naturally, he answered whatever Chu Han asked.
"How many of you came in total, what are your strengths, and what are your identities?" Chu Han continued to ask.
"There are 131 of us in total, including two 8th Rank Elders, eight 7th Rank Protectors, and 121 remaining 6th Rank members."
Chu Han asked doubtfully, "Did you send more people after the attempt to seize the bodhi fruit?"
"Yes."
"Then why didn't the other Elder appear during the seizure of the bodhi fruit?"
"Elder Insect Demon disappeared over ten days ago, and there has been no news of him since."
"So that's how it is."
Chu Han's guess was correct; the old man he had killed earlier, who controlled insects, was indeed the other Elder of the Mosheng Society.
So now, the Mosheng Society had only one 8th Rank combatant.
The Elder who fought using blood-colored Yuan Power was named Blood Nether, and his strength was even greater than that of the Insect Demon.
Chu Han asked a few more questions and gained a better understanding of the Mosheng Society.
Afterward, he manipulated his Mental Energy to completely obliterate this 7th Rank Grandmaster.
Then, he used flames to dispose of all their corpses.
"Next, it's time to find Blood Nether."
A flash of murderous intent crossed Chu Han's eyes, and his figure vanished from the spot.
Along the way, he encountered four more groups of Mosheng Society Martial Artists, ranging from five or six to over a dozen people, all led by 7th Rank Grandmasters.
But before Chu Han, these people were as fragile as ants.
Every time he struck, it was clean and efficient, killing all the Mosheng Society Martial Artists he encountered.
Half a day later, Chu Han arrived at a place called Yin Feng Valley.
Cold winds howled in the valley, black mist pervaded the air, and a thick scent of blood and decay lingered, indicating that the Mosheng Society Martial Artists had been entrenched there for a long time.
He restrained his aura and moved through the black mist like a ghost, sneaking toward the depths of the valley.
Soon, a massive cave appeared before his eyes.
Chu Han could clearly feel a powerful 8th Rank aura coming from within the Immortal Cave; it was indeed Elder Blood Nether.
"This guy's strength is much greater than when he tried to seize the bodhi fruit. What on earth did he do?"
Chu Han's heart tightened, and he didn't dare to be careless.
This Elder Blood Nether was indeed not simple; his strength was likely superior even to Old Ghost Chi Yang and Xiao Xuanjun combined.
"This is a good opportunity to test my current strength on you."
A flash of Battle Intent crossed Chu Han's eyes.
He no longer hid himself; his aura surged as he struck out with a palm toward the cave entrance.
The Heaven Burning Palm slammed into the cave, instantly triggering violent tremors in the mountain, as if an earthquake had struck.
Then, the towering flames from the Heaven Burning Palm poured into the cave entrance, burning toward the interior of the mountain.
With a "bang," a red figure burst out from the top of the mountain and landed on the cliff wall.
In the next moment, the entire mountain collapsed with a roar, completely burying the cave.
Immediately, a cold, angry shout rang out: "Who dares to intrude upon the territory of my Mosheng Society?!"
Chu Han looked at the enemy above, a cold sneer curling his lips. "Blood Nether, I've come for your life!"
Elder Blood Nether looked down, his blood-red pupils constricting slightly. His cold voice held a hint of surprise: "I didn't expect you to actually find this place on your own. It seems you've already used up the bodhi fruit."
"Even if you've refined the bodhi fruit, you're no match for me! Once I kill you, I'll naturally have a way to extract the bodhi fruit's energy from your corpse. Then, my cultivation can advance further and Breakthrough to the 8th Rank Middle Stage!"
Before his voice had even faded, Blood Nether abruptly raised his hand. Countless dark red blood appeared around him, merging into a surging river of blood that swept toward Chu Han.
This blood was no ordinary blood; it was his innate talent, containing dense Death Qi and powerful toxins. Everything it touched would be corroded and devoured.
"Ancient Nether Blood Sea!"
With a low shout from Blood Nether, the river of blood instantly expanded several times over, carrying a terrifying momentum and sealing off all of Chu Han's escape routes.
Chu Han's eyes narrowed. He immediately circulated the Heavenly Flame Secret Tome, and his Flame Dragon Yuan Power erupted in full force. Golden flames instantly formed a massive fire barrier.
The river of blood and the fire barrier collided with a roar, accompanied by an endless "sizzling" sound.
The Nether Blood tried to corrode the flames, but it was instantly evaporated and burned away by the high temperature of the Flame Dragon's fire.
"What?!" Blood Nether's expression changed drastically. He hadn't expected Chu Han's flames to be so overbearing, easily countering even his blood techniques.
"Blood Sea Spear!"
Blood Nether performed another secret technique, condensing a massive amount of blood into a blood-colored spear several hundred meters long.
He then controlled the blood spear to shoot toward Chu Han.
"Flame Dragon Slash!"
Seeing this, Chu Han let out a low growl. A golden Flame Dragon instantly condensed on his flame demon battle saber and roared toward the blood spear.
The two forces collided, and the violent explosion made the valley tremble. Most of the blood-colored energy was instantly dissipated by the high temperature of the fire dragon.
With a crisp "crack," the massive several-hundred-meter-long blood spear shattered inch by inch, turning into countless droplets of blood that were burned away by the high temperature.
"Your strength is indeed great, but this is as far as you go."
A flash of ruthlessness crossed Blood Nether's eyes, and his aura surged once again.
This time, the aura he released far surpassed that of Old Ghost Chi Yang and Xiao Xuanjun; he was truly getting serious.
Ruthlessness flashed in Blood Nether's eyes as his hands quickly formed seals: "Blood Sea Secret Technique!"
In the next moment, the ground of the entire Black Wind Valley began to shake violently.
Like an earthquake, the ground cracked and the mountains collapsed.
Countless amounts of blood gushed out from underground, quickly flooding the valley and forming a boundless sea of blood.
Within the sea of blood, countless hideous blood monsters crawled out one after another, letting out shrill roars as they lunged at Chu Han.
In an instant, it was as if Chu Han had fallen into a Hell of mountains of corpses and seas of blood, surrounded by powerful and terrifying enemies.
He felt the circulation of his Yuan Power being greatly obstructed. The air was thick with the scent of blood; breathing it in through his nose and mouth was nauseating and made his consciousness grow despondent.
"There are mental attack methods too?"
The blood sea world created by Blood Nether did more than just exert immense pressure; it also incorporated Mental Energy, causing one's Battle Intent to fade and weakening their strength in the face of the blood sea.
"But this is useless against me!"
Chu Han snorted coldly. The Mental Energy in his Sea of Consciousness jolted, and his mind instantly became clear, no longer affected in the slightest.
Following that, the fire energy within his body surged, and a powerful aura erupted from him.
"Nine Transformations of Heavenly Fire - Third Transformation!"
