344: Chapter 344 Pure Ancient Magic Image!

As Li Shengyuan's voice fell, Long Qingcheng and Yu You were both stunned at the same time.

Before they could even react, a massive phantom suddenly emerged behind Li Shengyuan...

It was an avatar completely pitch-black, hundreds of feet tall, with monstrous Devilish Qi and blood-red light swirling around its body.

Unlike the divine and demonic phantoms in the previous Blade and Sword Divine Domain, this avatar was purer, more primitive, and far more dangerous.

ancient demon dharma idol!

The avatar's face was blurred and indistinct, with only a pair of eyes clearly visible...

They were two clusters of burning blood-colored flames, seemingly capable of devouring all light.

Meanwhile, Li Shengyuan himself was also undergoing a transformation.

Influenced by the pure ancient demon dharma idol, his eyes gradually became stained with crimson. Within those eyes that were deep as an abyss, his original cool composure was being replaced by a primitive fanaticism and bloodthirstiness.

A startling killing intent and hostility erupted from his body. The intensity of that aura was so strong that even Long Qingcheng couldn't help but slightly change her expression.

"This is..."

Long Qingcheng's pupils contracted slightly.

She could feel that the pressure Li Shengyuan was emitting at this moment was climbing at an incredible speed!

What alarmed Long Qingcheng even more was the monstrous Evil Qi on Li Shengyuan's body.

That Evil Qi was so thick it was as if an Asura had crawled out from a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood. Even she, the Dragon Emperor who governed the Demon Domain, felt a trace of palpitation.

However, the most shocked person was Yu You.

"This... how is this possible?!"

His blood-colored eyes were full of disbelief as he stared intently at the Ancient Demon Avatar behind Li Shengyuan, which was frantically absorbing blood energy.

That blood energy, which he had spent a thousand years refining using the Bloodlines of countless Great Demons and the Luck of the Demon Domain, was supposed to be his Foundation for suppressing and killing Long Qingcheng and Li Shengyuan—and even helping himself Breakthrough to the Peak of First Grade to transcend this world!

But now...

That blood energy was continuously surging into Li Shengyuan's ancient demon dharma idol at a speed visible to the naked eye!

The blood-red light on the avatar grew more and more intense, and its aura became stronger and stronger, as if an ancient Vicious Beast that had been slumbering for ten thousand years was slowly awakening.

"You... how dare you!" Yu You's voice changed pitch, becoming hoarse and sharp. "That is the result of my thousand years of effort! It is my hope for breaking through to the Transcendent Grade! How can a mere Second Grade like you snatch away my blood energy?!"

Li Shengyuan slowly raised his eyes. Those crimson eyes stared at Yu You, and the corners of his mouth curled into a cold arc.

"This isn't just your home ground."

His voice was deep and hoarse, carrying an indescribable demonic quality, making him seem like a completely different person from his usual gentle-as-jade self.

"Now, in this place... I'm the one who has the final say!"

As his voice fell, the ancient demon dharma idol suddenly spread its arms and let out a silent roar!

In an instant, the entire blood-colored space trembled violently!

Countless streams of blood energy, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, surged toward the avatar at an even more frantic speed!

The blood energy that had originally surrounded Yu You's body actually began to flow in reverse, being forcibly plundered by the avatar!

Yu You's expression changed drastically as he tried to mobilize the power of the array to resist...

Only to find that his connection with the array was being severed bit by bit by an arrogant and overbearing power!

"No... impossible!"

He frantically activated secret techniques, his blood-colored eyes full of bloodshot veins, and his face twisted to the point of being hideous.

However, it was to no avail.

That blood energy, the blood energy he had refined through a thousand years of effort, was being devoured, assimilated, and claimed as its own by Li Shengyuan's Ancient Demon Avatar bit by bit!

This space was heaven for a Chaos Ancient Demon!

Standing beside Li Shengyuan, Long Qingcheng had complex emotions in her golden eyes.

Shock!

She had never imagined that Li Shengyuan, with a Second Grade cultivation, could erupt with such terrifying pressure and even forcibly plunder the Foundation of a Peak First Grade powerhouse.

Immediately following that was worry...

The Evil Qi and killing intent on Li Shengyuan right now were too intense. Those crimson eyes and that monstrous hostility made her worry about whether he would be backlashed by this power and lose himself.

But soon, this worry turned into determination.

Regardless of Li Shengyuan's current state, they were comrades-in-arms fighting side by side.

The urgent matter was to deal with the Demon Cult Leader as quickly as possible, and then find a way to help him stabilize his mind.

"Shengyuan!" Long Qingcheng said in a deep voice, "Let's strike together and end this quickly!"

Li Shengyuan glanced at her, and a flash of clarity seemed to flicker within those crimson, bloodthirsty eyes.

"Okay."

He nodded slightly. His voice was still deep, but the demonic quality in his tone seemed to have faded a bit.

Long Qingcheng felt a sense of relief, and then the Dragon prestige around her surged!

A golden Dragon shadow condensed behind her. The phantom of a Five-Clawed Golden Dragon roared toward the sky, flanking Li Shengyuan's ancient demon dharma idol on the left and right, forming two distinct yet equally terrifying pressures!

Yu You's expression finally changed completely.

He felt it... a sense of despair as one side waxed while the other waned.

His blood energy was being plundered by Li Shengyuan, and his power was draining away, while the two opponents before him—one was already his equal, and the other was becoming stronger at a startling speed!

Under these shifting tides, he... had no chance of winning!

Even more terrifyingly, he found that he couldn't even escape!

Whenever he tried to activate a secret technique to leave this blood-colored space, an overbearing power would surge from all directions to suppress him firmly!

That was Li Shengyuan's power...

Or rather, it was the power of this space being taken over by Li Shengyuan!

"You, you all..."

Yu You's face was as pale as paper, and for the first time, fear appeared in his blood-colored eyes.

The Blood Sacrifice Grand Array he had spent a thousand years setting up at the cost of the entire Great Yu's Luck to corrode the Demon Domain was supposed to be his Foundation for breaking through to the Transcendent Grade and ruling the world!

But now...

It had become a grave he had dug for himself with his own hands!

He... had invited the wolf into the house!

Li Shengyuan looked at Yu You, the arc at the corner of his mouth becoming increasingly cold.

"A thousand years of effort?"

He repeated softly, his tone full of mockery.

"Today, I will let you see with your own eyes how this thousand years of effort... becomes a bridal gown for someone else!"

As the words fell, he and Long Qingcheng moved at the same time!

The golden Dragon shadow and the pitch-black demonic body—two distinct powers—crashed down upon that isolated and helpless figure!

Yu You roared at the sky, exhausting his last bit of strength in an attempt to resist!

However, it was all too late...
