8: An evil entity appears: the Blood-Clad Evil Emperor!

“This place is actually a Small World!”

Xiao Zhenyue murmured.

“But this Aura is truly repulsive!”

Just as Xiao Zhenyue was observing her surroundings, a blood-red figure emerged from the pervasive evil Qi and attacked Xiao Zhenyue directly!

The attacker was wearing the clothes of the Cultivator from Wutong City just moments ago. Does this mean those Cultivators were infected by the evil Qi in such a short time? His face was already distorted, and his hollow eyes held nothing but endless evil Qi!

Xiao Zhenyue calmly dodged the Cultivator infected by the evil Qi, her eyes filled with disdain. Then, a long sword was drawn, and the Evil Creature was instantly decapitated!

Although the primal sword could not yet be used, the storage space Lin Daoyuan gave Xiao Zhenyue contained more than just one Magical Artifact!

Just as Xiao Zhenyue was about to continue walking toward the densest concentration of evil Qi, the Evil Creature stood up again. Its head roared fiercely on the ground while its body launched another attack toward Xiao Zhenyue!

This time, the Evil Creature emitted massive Spiritual Qi all over its body. Xiao Zhenyue was shocked, saying, “It instantly raised its strength to the Peak of Qi Refining!”

Xiao Zhenyue's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, and her petite figure began to tangle with the Evil Creature again. But no matter what she did, the Evil Creature could not be killed; in fact, it grew stronger the more she fought it!

“Where is the ten thousand year earth core milk? Where is it?”

“What ten thousand year earth core milk? What exactly is this place?”

Mo Yan said, dragging his injured body.

Meanwhile, the Sword Child Song Qingzhou cautiously surveyed his surroundings. However, he was also injured.

Where they stood, a massive ancient wutong tree reached the heavens, and in the surrounding space, they could see enormous, thick roots supporting the entire world. While they were still in shock, the lower half of the ancient wutong tree was engulfed by blood-red evil Qi, while the upper half emitted mysterious and sacred golden-green light, flickering as if the two forces were locked in a fierce struggle!

Under their gaze, the surrounding massive tree roots were already withered, rotten, and filled with an incomparably evil Aura. Instantly, a terrifying thought sprouted in Song Qingzhou's mind.

A trap!

This was a trap set by the Evil Creature suppressed here!

Just as he regained his senses, a terrified cry echoed in his mind.

“Those things are back!”

Figures covered in evil Qi sprang out from all directions and attacked Song Qingzhou and the others.

“Damn it, why can't they be killed!”

“These are the Cultivators who were just in the city!”

“They are beyond saving!”

Song Qingzhou wasted no words. His powerful cultivation at the Foundation Establishment Realm erupted. His long sword let out a cold clang, and terrifying Sword Qi rose with the blade, plunging straight into the fray. He himself, along with his long sword, transformed into a blue streak of light, weaving through the Evil Creatures.

Mo Yan gritted his teeth and joined the battle. *I'm not worse than him!*

“Damn it, where is Old Hei!”

Mo Yan thought while fighting: the highest cultivation of these Cultivators infected by evil Qi is only Foundation Establishment. Old Hei is a Nascent Soul True Lord. If he were here, it wouldn't be this troublesome. Just as he thought this, he was punched flying by an Evil Creature whose head he had just severed!

“A hundred thousand years! It has been a full hundred thousand years! Finally, a group of Cultivators has arrived, ha ha ha ha!”

“If I didn't pull some tricks, you human Cultivators wouldn't have fallen for it!”

At this moment, four Nascent Soul True Lords, led by Old Man Poison, were entangled by hideous tentacles and completely unable to move. In front of them was an ancient Altar, wrapped by massive tree roots, displaying antiquity and vicissitude.

“Only the Nascent Soul Realm! Fine, fine. After eating you all, this seat can barely manage to conduct Possession on this Innate Spiritual Root.”

Hearing this, Old Man Poison and the others were horrified. Only one Nascent Soul expert from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect remained somewhat calm.

“What exactly are you? What is your purpose for deceiving us into coming here with the news of the ten thousand year earth core milk?”

Hearing this, powerful streams of evil Qi burst forth from the Altar, transforming into an incomparably hideous face in the air.

“Since you are about to die, telling you is no harm.”

“Listen closely, this seat is the Evil Emperor from a hundred thousand years ago!”

The Evil Emperor?

Another Nascent Soul expert from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect pondered for a moment, his face filled with terror.

“Ancient records state that a hundred thousand years ago on the Hongwu Continent, an overwhelming Evil Creature appeared, one who devoured all things and Cultivated using evil Qi: the Blood-Clothed Evil Emperor!”

“I never expected that you would be suppressed here!”

“Our sin is great! Now that you are escaping, the Hongwu Continent faces another disaster!”

“You junior are quite discerning, but now, become this seat's ration.”

As he spoke, the Nascent Soul expert immediately gathered a powerful Divine Thought, intending to transmit this message to the outside world. However, he couldn't send it out. His entire body was bound, and he didn't even have a chance to use a Communication Talisman.

“You are very dishonest! This Small World has already been isolated by this seat. Everything that happens inside will remain inside until this seat breaks free.”

The Blood-Clothed Evil Emperor said. Immediately afterward, the Nascent Soul expert, amidst a horrific scream, had all his vital blood Qi sucked dry, leaving behind only a skeleton!

“Mercy, Lord Evil Emperor, Lord, don't kill me, I am still useful! Now that Lord is breaking through the Seal, you need more vital blood Qi, and I can bring more blood food for Lord!”

Old Man Poison quickly said.

Hearing this, the hideous face transformed into a strange-looking man in red robes. The man extended a long tongue and licked his fingertips, speaking with disdain.

“A hundred thousand years, and the vital blood Qi of Cultivators is still so delicious!”

He then looked sinisterly at Old Man Poison. His blood-red long hair was like a living thing, stretching out toward Old Man Poison, hovering in front of his face, and even licking him like a tongue. Old Man Poison was terrified.

“Lord, I am still useful! I can use my Soul as a contract to provide blood food for Lord and help Lord return to the Peak. I am still useful, don't kill me!”

Old Man Poison was truly unwilling. With his cultivation at the second stage of Nascent Soul, he was an existence at the Elder or Old Ancestor level in any Sect. Even as a Loose Cultivator, he would be revered by ten thousand people. *I don't want to die!*

Hearing this, the Blood-Clothed Evil Emperor smiled, saying, “I smell a strong scent of evil coming from you!”

Seeing this, Old Man Poison quickly flattered him, saying, “If Lord keeps me, I can definitely...”

Before he could finish speaking, his body withered away.

“No!”

In the end, only a skeleton remained.

The last remaining Elder of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect knew that nothing could save them. He immediately sent a stream of Divine Thought toward Song Qingzhou. Since it couldn't be sent outside, perhaps it could be transmitted internally. Although this might be futile, he had to try.

“Allowing the Sword Child to be trapped here, this old man is ashamed before the Sect!”

Finally, Mo Yan's Dao Protector also sent a message, and was then sucked dry by the Blood-Clothed Evil Emperor.

The Blood-Clothed Evil Emperor, having absorbed the vital blood Qi and cultivation of the four Nascent Soul True Lords, emitted a terrifying Aura. The ancient Altar was instantly shattered by several streams of evil light.

The Void Refining Realm!

“That's acceptable.”

As the pervasive evil Qi broke through the Seal, heaven and earth trembled violently.

At this moment, the ancient wutong tree emitted a dazzling light, attempting to suppress the Blood-Clothed Evil Emperor once more, but it was immediately blocked.

“Innate Spiritual Root, you suppressed me for a hundred thousand years. Now, I will devour you, as I happen to be lacking a Physical Body.”

“And those brats with the Myriad Sword Physique and the Demonic Spirit Body, and also...”

“Why can't I see through that girl's Physique? Never mind, eating her will allow this seat to recover faster, ha ha ha!”

Song Qingzhou, Mo Yan, and the others, who were already covered in blood from fighting, received a final message from their Dao Protectors—“Find every opportunity to escape”—and then there was silence.

Following this, they saw an enormous mass of evil Qi soaring into the sky, instantly enveloping the tall ancient wutong tree. The heavy Pressure immediately crushed everyone ruthlessly onto the ground, and a sense of powerlessness, like a dimensionality reduction attack, arose naturally.

“What exactly is that thing!”

Song Qingzhou could only hold on, his face contorted. Under Pressure of this magnitude, he had absolutely no power to fight back!

Looking at Xiao Zhenyue, she had already arrived where Song Qingzhou and the others were, holding a long sword in one hand, standing among a pile of Evil Creatures whose corpses were completely mangled behind her!

Relying on the Nine Heavens Exquisite Robe, she was completely unaffected by the Pressure. However, her Divine Thought told her that this was a great terror!

Void Refining!

She was only at the Peak of Qi Refining now—this was a super terrifying existence, several Realms higher than her!

If not for her Magic Robe, her body might have already been torn apart by the Pressure!

The Lower Heaven Realm actually suppressed such an Evil Creature!

Xiao Zhenyue was greatly shocked. Even with her past life as the peerless Xuan Yue Empress, she hadn't known this!
