181: Chapter 181 The Netherworld Elders, All Slain

[Tang Xun was unscrupulously absorbing the essence of blood qi in the Netherworld Blood Pool; the entire pool was visibly shrinking.]

[The Youming Sect Disciples around the blood pool were trapped, forced to watch helplessly, unable to do anything.]

[Their faces were etched with despair and fear.]

[Just then, the space above the blood pool suddenly began to distort.]

["What petty thief dares to act wildly in my Youming Sect!"]

[An angry roar vibrated throughout the entire underground space.]

[Three figures stepped out from the distorted space and appeared before Tang Xun.]

[These three Cultivators were all at the Middle Stage Nascent Soul cultivation level, their bodies emanating thick Devilish Qi—clearly Elders of the Youming Sect.]

[Seeing the blood pool being absorbed by Tang Xun and the massive loss of blood qi essence, they were all infuriated to the extreme.]

["The blood pool Foundation! You dare destroy the Foundation of my Youming Sect!"]

[The leading old man, his hair and beard bristling and his eyes blood-red, stared fixedly at Tang Xun.]

[The Devilish Qi emanating from him was several times stronger than that of the two Early Nascent Soul Stage demonic Cultivators from before.]

[Tang Xun stopped absorbing and looked up at them.]

["Foundation? Isn't the Foundation of your Youming Sect just built upon the essence and blood of living beings?"]

[His tone carried a hint of mockery. "The resentful souls and grievances in this blood pool are quite numerous."]

[Hearing this, the old man laughed out of extreme anger.]

["Humph! In our Demonic Path cultivation, the strong prey on the weak; what talk is there of resentful souls and grievances?"]

["You destroyed my blood pool and killed my Disciples; today, you must pay for it in blood!"]

[With a wave of his hand, the other two Middle Stage Nascent Soul demonic Cultivators immediately understood and surrounded Tang Xun in a Sancai Formation.]

[The three Middle Stage Nascent Soul demonic Cultivators attacked simultaneously.]

[A Blood-colored Whip, a Black Ghost Banner, and Yin Wind Blades—three demonic Magic Treasures—attacked Tang Xun from three directions with sharp killing intent.]

[This time, they no longer underestimated Tang Xun.]

[They had already learned from other Disciples that Tang Xun's Physical Body was exceptionally powerful, so their attacks all carried strong fluctuations of magic power, attempting to suppress him with it.]

[Tang Xun sneered inwardly.]

[Suppressing me with magic power?]

[The depth of his five elements nascent soul's magic power was comparable to the Middle Stage.]

[Coupled with the strength of his Physical Body, he did not fear them at all.]

[Tang Xun gave a low shout, and the five elements nascent soul within his body spun rapidly.]

[Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth—five types of spiritual power erupted instantly, forming a five-colored light shield around him.]

[The Blood-colored Whip lashed against the light shield, making crackling sounds, but it could not advance an inch.]

[The Yin Qi emitted by the Black Ghost Banner was instantly purified by the five-colored light shield, dissipating into nothingness.]

[The Yin Wind Blades cut into the light shield, only causing a ripple, unable to break the defense.]

[The three Middle Stage Nascent Soul demonic Cultivators all changed expression upon seeing this.]

["This... what kind of defensive Spell is this?!"]

[They had never seen such a powerful defense.]

[Tang Xun gave them no time to think.]

[His figure flashed, charging directly at the old man holding the Blood-colored Whip.]

["Old man, I'll start with you!"]

[The old man was startled and wanted to retreat, but he found that Tang Xun's speed was more than a level faster than his own.]

["Blood Shadow Evasion!"]

[The old man performed a Demonic Path evasion technique, turning into a blood shadow in an attempt to escape.]

[But how could a mere Demonic Path evasion technique compare to Tang Xun's Free and Easy Wandering?]

[He caught up to the old man in an instant and threw a punch.]

["Boom!"]

[In his haste, the old man could only condense a blood-colored shield to block.]

[But Tang Xun's fist contained the power of the Five Elements and the physical strength of the Savage God Dragon Transformation Art; how could a mere shield block it?]

[The blood-colored shield shattered instantly, and the fist slammed heavily into the old man's chest.]

["Pfft!"]

[The old man spat out a mouthful of blood and was sent flying, crashing against the stone wall of the blood pool with a dull thud.]

[His chest was completely caved in, and his ribs were all broken.]

["Impossible! I am at the Middle Stage Nascent Soul; how can you, a mere Early Nascent Soul Stage, be so powerful?!"]

[The old man struggled, his eyes filled with disbelief.]

[Tang Xun ignored his shouting.]

[His figure flashed again, catching up to the old man for another punch.]

["Bang!"]

[This time, the old man didn't even have time to scream before being killed by Tang Xun's punch, his Nascent Soul shattering on the spot.]

[Another Middle Stage Nascent Soul demonic Cultivator executed!]

[The other two Middle Stage Nascent Soul demonic Cultivators were completely terrified by this sight.]

[Tang Xun's power had already exceeded their understanding.]

[This was simply not the strength an Early Nascent Soul Stage Cultivator should possess!]

["Escape!"]

[The two looked at each other and turned to flee in different directions without hesitation.]

[Tang Xun sneered.]

["Want to escape? Not a single one of you is leaving!"]

[He deployed the Five Elements Sword Array.]

[Although he did not have a Lifebound Flying Sword, he could use his five fingers instead.]

[Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth—five streaks of five-colored spiritual light shot from his fingertips, turning into five invisible swords.]

[The five spiritual swords instantly caught up to the two demonic Cultivators and laid out a sword array around them.]

["Five Energies Returning to Origin Sword Formation"]

[The five spiritual swords spun rapidly within the sword array, erupting with terrifying Five Elements power.]

[The two demonic Cultivators were trapped within the sword array, letting out desperate screams.]

[They struggled desperately, trying to break the sword array, but the Five Elements power was endless and cyclical, its might stacking layer upon layer.]

[In just a moment, the two demonic Cultivators were ground into pieces by the sword array, and their Nascent Souls did not escape.]

[All three Middle Stage Nascent Soul demonic Cultivators were executed!]

[The Youming Sect Disciples around the blood pool were completely stunned.]

[They witnessed with their own eyes three Middle Stage Nascent Soul Elders being easily slaughtered like ants before Tang Xun.]

[This man was simply a Demon God descended to the world!]

[Tang Xun withdrew the Five Elements Sword Array and once again began absorbing the blood qi essence in the blood pool.]

[He was going to suck this place completely dry, thoroughly shaking the Foundation of the Youming Sect.]

[Rumble!]

[The entire headquarters of the Youming Sect began to vibrate violently.]

[The anomaly in the blood pool and the fall of several Nascent Soul Elders had completely alarmed the higher-ups of the Youming Sect.]

[More powerful auras were rushing toward the blood pool.]

[Tang Xun knew in his heart that the real tough battle had only just begun.]

[But he had no fear; instead, he was full of anticipation.]

[He was going to make the Youming Sect pay a price in blood.]

[He wanted all the forces in the Central Continent to see his, Tang Xun's, fangs.]

[Just then, the space above the blood pool distorted again.]

[This time, the figures that stepped out had even more powerful auras.]

[One, two, three...]

[A total of five figures of Late Stage Nascent Soul demonic Cultivators appeared above the blood pool.]

[Seeing the tragic state of the blood pool and the trapped Disciples, they were all infuriated to the extreme.]

["Arrogant! A mere Early Nascent Soul Stage dare to be so insolent in my Youming Sect!"]

[The leader was an elderly woman whose face was covered in wrinkles, but her eyes flashed with a sinister light.]

[She thumped her walking stick, and a powerful Devilish Qi instantly locked onto Tang Xun.]

["Today, this old woman will let you know that those who offend my Youming Sect will have no place to be buried!"]

[Five Late Stage Nascent Soul demonic Cultivators attacked simultaneously.]

[This time, they did not hold back, directly summoning their respective Lifebound Treasures.]

[Tang Xun sneered inwardly.]

[Late Stage Nascent Soul?]

[He wanted to see just how capable the Late Stage Nascent Souls of the Youming Sect were.]
