343: Chapter 343 The Center of the Myriad Spirits Blood Sacrifice Array!

Li Shengyuan stood in the center of the Blade and Sword Divine Domain, his gaze sweeping across the battlefield below.

Those Demonic Cult Venerables and rebel Demon Kings were currently down on their Luck, lacking the support of the people, and even the favorable timing and geographical advantages of the Blood Sacrifice Grand Array were being blocked; they were already collapsing like a mountain.

Chu Chunqiu's wine gourd spat out monstrous flames, burning them so badly they fled in all directions.

Turtle Prime Minister's water-element Demonic Technique was incredibly precise, hitting the opponents' vital points every time.

The Dragon Clan Demon Kings' Dragon Breath was even more unstoppable, forcing those rebels who were losing their Luck to retreat step by step.

"Exhilarating! This is so damn exhilarating!" Chu Chunqiu laughed loudly, spitting out another blast of flames, incinerating two heavily injured Demonic Cult Venerables into ashes.

"Today, I'm going to taste the flavor of roasted lion's head; it'll be perfect to go with my wine!"

The Golden-furred Lion King who had obtained the Dragon Pearl turned pale with rage.

Li Shengyuan nodded slightly, then turned and said to Chu Chunqiu, "Senior Brother, I'll leave this place to you."

Chu Chunqiu was stunned for a moment, then looked up at the two figures confronting each other high in the sky and nodded understandingly. "Go ahead, be careful. That guy isn't simple."

"Mhm," Li Shengyuan responded. With a flicker of his body, he left the Blade and Sword Divine Domain and soared toward the high sky.

Seeing this, the remaining Demonic Cult Venerables and rebel Demon Kings felt a glimmer of hope. As long as Li Shengyuan left, they might still have a chance to break out!

However, Chu Chunqiu sneered, "Thinking of running? Have you asked my Heavenly Fire Demon-Burning Array?"

The flames swept down once again.

Li Shengyuan's figure was like a streak of light, arriving at the Long Qingcheng's side in an instant.

The Long Qingcheng was in a fierce confrontation with Yu You. Every collision between the golden dragon claws and the pitch-black dragon shadows shattered the Void Realm and shook the heavens and earth.

Sensing Li Shengyuan's arrival, her beautiful eyes flickered, and her gaze softened slightly.

"Be careful," she said softly, her tone carrying a hint of concern that even she hadn't noticed. "This person's strength is extraordinary. He's a thousand-year-old turtle; even I cannot say I have a certain victory."

Li Shengyuan nodded with a smile and stood side by side with her. "Rest assured, Her Majesty the Queen. Today, with the two of us joining forces, we will definitely execute this thousand-year-old scourge once and for all."

Hearing this, the corners of the Long Qingcheng's mouth curled up slightly.

"I've always regretted not being able to fight side by side with Sister Yunmiao," she whispered, a complex emotion flashing in her golden eyes. "Being able to face a powerful enemy with her Disciple now is quite a good choice."

Yu You stood with his hands behind his back, his black dragon robe fluttering in the fierce wind.

He looked at the man and woman standing side by side before him, a sinister glint flashing in his eyes.

"A mere Second Grade dares to interfere in today's battle?" He sneered. "Since you've delivered yourself to my doorstep, I shall fulfill your wish... It's just as well to eliminate you today to prevent any future trouble!"

As his voice fell, he suddenly raised his hand!

In an instant, it felt as if the entire Demon Domain was shaking!

In the distance, those Blood Sacrifice Grand Arrays that had already begun to collapse suddenly erupted with blinding blood-red light!

Eighty-one nodes bloomed with blood-red light simultaneously, and pillars of blood-colored light shot into the sky, piercing the clouds!

Those pillars of light converged and fused in the Void Realm, eventually turning into a blood-colored light curtain that covered the entire sky, enveloping everything!

Li Shengyuan's pupils constricted slightly.

This aura...

It was even more massive and dangerous than the High Priest's Sacrifice Array back in Jiangnan!

Yu You spread his arms, bathing in the sky-filling blood-red light, a sickly fanaticism appearing on his face.

"I have spent a thousand years of effort to set up this array, even sacrificing the Luck of the entire Great Yu! Today, let you see with your own eyes what true power is!"

He suddenly clenched his fist!

Those blood-colored light pillars contracted simultaneously, turning into blood-colored chains that coiled toward the Long Qingcheng and Li Shengyuan!

The Long Qingcheng's expression changed, her golden dragon claws tearing through the Void Realm in an attempt to sever those chains.

However, as soon as a chain broke, more chains surged from all directions, endless and inexhaustible!

"This is..." The Long Qingcheng's expression was grave, "the power of the Blood Sacrifice Grand Array!"

Li Shengyuan cut down several chains with his saber and sword, only to find that the chains had no physical form; they would reform instantly after being severed.

His brow furrowed slightly. This power, which used the billions of living beings in the entire Demon Domain as sacrifices and constantly absorbed their life force, indeed exceeded the scope of what a typical Second Grade could handle.

Seeing the two trapped, Yu You let out a sneer, "This is no place to linger. I shall send you to a place... more suitable to be your burial ground!"

He formed hand seals, and the sky-filling blood-colored chains suddenly tightened, binding the Long Qingcheng and Li Shengyuan firmly!

The Long Qingcheng's expression changed. Subconsciously, she reached out and grabbed Li Shengyuan's hand!

"Don't let go!"

Before her voice could fade, an irresistible force suddenly struck!

The world spun!

Everything before them was twisting, shattering, and reorganizing!

No one knew how much time had passed...

Perhaps it was only an instant, or perhaps it was a long time.

Li Shengyuan opened his eyes.

Before him was a blood-red world.

The sky was blood-colored, the ground was blood-colored, and even the air was filled with a thick scent of blood.

Beneath his feet was a vast blood-colored plain. In the distance, massive piles of white bones could be faintly seen, looking like a graveyard for countless beings.

"This is..." Li Shengyuan's brow furrowed slightly.

"The center of the Blood Sacrifice Grand Array."

A familiar voice sounded in his ear.

Li Shengyuan turned his head and saw the Long Qingcheng standing right beside him.

She was still in that dark-gold dragon robe, but her expression was a bit more solemn than before.

Their hands were still tightly clasped together.

The Long Qingcheng also seemed to realize this; her golden eyes flickered slightly, and then she released his hand as if nothing had happened.

"Fortunately, we weren't separated," she said indifferently, her tone calm as if that hand-holding just now was ordinary.

Li Shengyuan nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping around. "Is this... the internal space generated by the Blood Sacrifice Grand Array?"

"Correct."

A low voice came from ahead.

The two looked up simultaneously and saw Yu You standing with his hands behind his back a hundred yards away.

At this moment, he looked like a completely different person.

His black dragon robe still fluttered, but his eyes, which were originally as deep as an abyss, were now completely blood-red, like two burning flames.

His face was so pale it was almost transparent. The imperial aura around him had long been replaced by madness and violence, and his entire being emitted a heart-palpitating aura of destruction.

"Welcome to... my burial ground." Yu You spread his arms, a sickly smile appearing on his face. "Of course, this is prepared for you."

He raised his hand, pointing in all directions of this blood-colored space. "This is the center of the Blood Sacrifice Grand Array. I spent a thousand years, using the Bloodlines of countless great demons as a guide and the Luck of the Demon Domain as the root, to forge this Domain."

"Here, I can mobilize the power of the entire array! The blood Qi of heaven and earth is all for my use!"

He looked at the Long Qingcheng and Li Shengyuan, his blood-red eyes full of madness. "Today, I shall use this thousand-year effort to slay you both here!"

As his voice fell, the entire blood-colored space began to vibrate!

Countless blood-colored auras surged from all directions, continuously pouring into Yu You's body.

His aura climbed at a visible speed, quickly surpassing his previous Peak state, even showing signs of a Breakthrough to the First Grade absolute Peak!

The Long Qingcheng's expression was solemn, cold light flashing in her golden eyes.

She took a step forward, standing side by side with Li Shengyuan, as her dragon might also began to manifest with full force.

"Shengyuan," she said softly, her tone serious. "This battle is no small matter."

Li Shengyuan, however, looked around curiously at the majestic and dense blood Qi, sensing the Ancient Demon Power within him beginning to boil with excitement. The corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly.

"Rest assured, Her Majesty the Queen. This thousand-year-old turtle has truly found himself a good burial site!"
