83: Blood Sacrifice

Majestic peaks hung upside down in the Void Realm.

Shaped like an inverted triangle.

This was Shi Tian Demon King's territory—Suspended Mountain.

At this moment, countless demons flew in and out, a multitude of demons gathered, obscuring the sky and sun.

“What a grand display…”

“The core of this mountain is a rare floating stone in the world.

To support such a large mountain body, it must be a top-grade floating stone.”

Yuan Ci Avatar exclaimed, then transformed into a flying rainbow and soared upward.

The interior of Suspended Mountain was more like a hollowed-out demon lair.

Inside, cities stood in great numbers, buildings were ancient, filled with Devilish Qi.

Rivers of blood flowed, and everywhere hung the white bones and skulls of demons and Cultivators, flesh piled into mountains of meat, arranged like cabbages on the roadside.

Many demons held steel pitchforks as thick as arms, skewering unknown flesh, roasting it over flames, sizzling with oil.

What they drank from their bowls was not wine, but fresh blood scooped from the blood river.

“This place is truly like Hell.”

Yuan Lian Avatar sighed.

“This might be the demon territory… chaotic, yet with strict laws.

Here, not a single demon dared to fight.”

Yuan Ci Avatar nodded.

Upon reaching a pavilion, the two took out golden decrees, and the wolf-headed True Core Great Demon who received them immediately changed his expression.

“So, you are fellow Daoists who have come to pay homage, please come inside.”

“No problem, no problem.”

Following the pavilion, they arrived at a large funnel-shaped platform, with many stone seats arranged on both sides.

At this moment, many demons sat on the stone seats.

The lowest among them were Early Stage True Core Realm demons.

Among them, the auras of many demons were inscrutable even to Yuan Lian Avatar.

“This pilgrimage is truly grand in scale.

There are hundreds of demons here.

It's likely that most of the demons under Shi Tian Demon King's rule have come…”

“This Demon King's ambitions are certainly not small…”

The two restrained their auras and sat steadily on the stone seats like ordinary demons.

Among the hundreds of True Core demons, they were not conspicuous.

Especially when a pure, flawless egg slowly rose from the bottom of the viewing platform, everyone held their breath and craned their necks.

“Is that… a demon saint egg?”

“I wonder what Bloodline is inside?

A bird, or a beast?”

“Haha, no matter what kind of creature, an Innate Bloodline is always countless times stronger than ours.”

“Among those present who have broken through to True Core, which one didn't go through countless hardships?

But a demon saint Bloodline has no Bottleneck before the Profound Cave Realm.”

As soon as these words were spoken, they carried a hint of sourness.

But it resonated with many demons.

In one corner, a mountain-like, six-armed demon extended a pink long tongue and sneered, “This Bloodline concentration… if I could extract a trace and integrate it into my body, the Profound Cave Realm would be within reach.”

“Old Mountain Ghost, you really dare to dream.

This is a demon saint Bloodline.

To refine the Bloodline, you first have to be able to defeat Shi Tian Demon King… haha.”

A one-horned, horse-faced demon sneered.

However, many demons' eyes gleamed with greed, clearly having coveted the demon saint Bloodline for a long time.

Suddenly, a yellow-robed old man slowly descended from the Void Realm.

“It's Shi Tian Demon King!”

“The main character has finally appeared…”

Many demons exclaimed.

Shi Tian Demon King wore a yellow robe, but his face had completely shed its beastly form, becoming identical to the Human Race.

Only his small, beady eyes faintly flashed with a sharp glint.

Shi Tian Demon King slowly spoke, “Everyone has come from afar to admire the demon saint egg.

I am immensely grateful.

However, the demon saint Bloodline's vital essence is severely depleted, and to restore a trace of vitality, I need to borrow something from all of you present.”

As soon as these words were spoken, many demons frowned, vaguely sensing something amiss, and secretly began to stand up.

But there were also those who were not afraid of death.

“What exactly is it?”

“A demon saint Bloodline, how rare.

If it can revive the demon saint Bloodline, how will Demon King compensate us?”

Shi Tian Demon King shook his head slightly, his eyes casting a bloodthirsty gaze, “It is the essence of your… flesh and blood.”

“What?

Demon King must be joking!”

“It's better not to make such jokes!”

“Shi Tian, we True Core Great Demons have gathered here, numbering over five hundred.

Even if you are a Profound Cave Realm Demon King, you may not be able to fight a hundred.”

“The demon saint Bloodline is born of heaven and earth.

If you are unable to hatch it, why not give it to a demon with good fortune.”

Bang—

Shi Tian Demon King suddenly slammed his palm down, instantly shattering the sheep-horned demon who had just been clamoring into a bloody mist.

“Hmph, I have no intention of discussing this with you.”

He raised a dark demon claw, and a black light rose from the top of Suspended Mountain, transforming into thousands of silk threads that flew down to the four corners, covering the entire mountain body like a birdcage.

“Shi Tian, what exactly do you mean?”

Many demons slammed their hands on the table and rose to their feet.

Fear involuntarily rose in their hearts.

Such an action, did he really intend to wipe them all out?

The demon was answered by a giant claw that blotted out the sky.

Another bloody mist rose.

As the Formation cage rose, the bloody mist subtly gathered above the demon saint egg beneath the viewing platform.

“It's bad… This Shi Tian Demon King has truly gone mad, actually wanting to blood sacrifice the True Core Great Demons present…”

Yuan Lian Avatar's face showed bitterness.

Yuan Ci Avatar, however, frowned and quietly transmitted his voice, “This is indeed troublesome right now.

However, I observe that the Formation cage is actually arranged with Magnetic Force.

Once the situation deteriorates, I can break open a corner.

At that time, escaping in the chaos with the Five Elements Heaven Evasion Divine Light might give us a chance.”

Hearing this, Yuan Lian Avatar breathed a sigh of relief.

The other demons, however, could not sit still and began to curse loudly.

Many demons even attacked in unison, fighting against Shi Tian Demon King.

However, the huge gap in Realm caused the demons to collapse at a touch, one after another turning into bloody mist and being absorbed by the demon saint egg.

Suddenly, several vast auras rose.

Several demons projected illusory Dharma Idols from their bodies.

For a time, the black Qi fluctuated, far exceeding the True Core Realm.

“Nielong, Chijiao, Yushan… you really made your move.”

A hint of fear appeared in Shi Tian Demon King's eyes.

The Dharma Idol on a one-horned demon's body let out a sharp cry, “Shi Tian, if you hand over the Kun Peng Demon Sage's Bloodline.

We will allow you to rule Ten Thousand Demon Mountain.

All past grievances will be wiped clean.”

Hearing this, Shi Tian Demon King threw his head back and laughed wildly, like a madman, “Haha, Nielong.

If it were in your territory, I, Shi Tian, would naturally surrender.

But this is Suspended Mountain.

Besides me, there is no other Profound Cave Realm.

Today, if you do not retreat.

I will kill you all.”

As soon as these words were spoken, the projections of several great demons roared in anger, “Shi Tian, do you intend to offend all nine of us Demon Kings?”

“When the demon saint's blockade ends, I, Tanbei, will surely be the first to come and take your life!”

“Quickly hand over the demon saint Bloodline!”

“Haha, then let's see the truth in our hands.”

Shi Tian Demon King roared, his robes tearing, transforming into a hundred-zhang-tall yellow-skinned rat shadow.

With an open blood-stained mouth, endless suction emanated from the dark, cavernous maw.

“Devouring God Secret Art!”

“Bastard!”

Within the range of the suction, many demons immediately melted into bone and flesh, turning into dust.

The collective efforts of the demons could only barely cope.

Suddenly, a seductive Hu Niang darted to the side of the demon saint egg, spraying a pink mist that actually dissolved the barrier outside the sacred egg, then snatched it out and swallowed it into her belly.

The next instant, she fled towards the edge of the cage.

“Grandma, I got it!”

Jade Faced Fox Lady's face showed a hint of glee.

“Thief, how dare you!”

Shi Tian Demon King's furious roar came from the Void Realm.
