192: Chapter 192 Taking Action
Guanglan Planet.
The largest basin.
The basin, which should have been open land, was now covered with a dense carpet of corpses.
Flesh oozed blood, which pooled within the basin.
The entire basin had turned into a literal sea of blood.
Here, every kind of corpse imaginable could be found.
Not just those of humans.
There were corpses of creatures that flew in the sky, ran on the ground, and even sea beasts that swam in the water.
At this moment.
The boundless sea of flesh and blood began to vibrate continuously.
With every vibration, massive amounts of flesh and blood would dissolve.
The scene was like boneless chicken feet being dropped into strong acid.
In the center of the sea of blood was a pitch-black heart.
A jaw-dropping scene unfolded.
As the massive amount of flesh dissolved, the sea of blood began to dry up.
But that pitch-black heart beat ever more strongly.
Immediately following.
Blood vessels began to spread out from the heart.
The vessels continuously lengthened and thickened until they seemed to reach a certain threshold.
Flesh began to generate.
Muscle, tendons, bones, organs, viscera, and then skin...
During this process, the mountains of corpses and bones in the sea of flesh, enough to cover the entire basin, began to wither.
Then, the withered flesh, looking as if it had been weathered by time, turned into flying ash.
The sea of flesh and blood began to collapse inward toward the center.
Massive amounts of blood were absorbed by the body forming from the heart.
Blood mixed with various types of flesh and bone to form waves that surged continuously within the basin.
When Ji Yebai and Ralva appeared on the high ground, this was the scene they witnessed.
At this moment.
Even Ralva, whose heart had always been full of pride, was filled with intense discomfort.
Though he was the strongest Demon Suppressor below the Saint rank.
And specialized in dealing with the Demon race and handling their traces.
This was the first time he had seen such a tragic sight.
Compared to the scene before him, the tragedies he had witnessed in the past were ultimately a level below.
Even if there had been larger-scale slaughters before, or more powerful civilizations destroyed under the carnage of Demons.
This was the first time Ralva had witnessed such a thing with his own eyes.
In the past, either he hadn't seen it, or what he saw wasn't on such a massive scale.
This ocean and land seemingly composed of flesh and blood truly shocked Ralva.
Looking at this scene.
Besides shock, only one term remained in Ralva's mind.
Asura Hell, a sea of bones and blood.
This place was the living image of an Asura Hell.
Even with Ralva's Legendary Peak Mental Energy, he could not count how many corpses it would take to pile up into such a sea of flesh and blood.
At this moment.
As the sea of flesh and blood continued to dissolve.
In its place, the evil aura at the center grew increasingly powerful.
Ralva stared fixedly at the black, massive, and hideous body appearing in the center: "It absorbed the life of the entire Guanglan Planet, yet it's just a single Demon!?"
He watched the massive body, which was dozens of meters tall, in shock.
Demon bat wings, pitch-black muscles that looked like they would explode, and hideous bone spurs protruding out.
A powerful dark aura permeated the air.
In the center.
A faint black mist surged around the Demon, even causing the ground to begin to corrode.
His gaze shifted downward.
It landed on the human bodies bobbing in the sea of flesh and blood.
Those bodies were extremely miraculous; their entire forms shimmered with gold, as if they were cast from gold itself.
The Indestructible Golden Body.
The unique cultivation warriors of Guanglan Planet.
They used their fleshly bodies to absorb gold, thereby forging an Indestructible Golden Body.
The Golden Body was Immortal and indestructible, incredibly sturdy.
Especially now, this point was being demonstrated to the fullest.
In that sea of flesh and blood, even larger beasts or sea fish had begun to dissolve, even turning into bloody water.
Yet the corpses of these indestructible warriors, shimmering with gold, remained unscathed in the sea of blood.
However, Ralva knew that although those Indestructible Golden Bodies looked intact.
In reality, they were already dead.
What remained were merely shells.
The entire Guanglan Civilization had been turned into flesh-and-blood nourishment under the Demon's invasion.
There were tens of millions of people.
If these tens of millions had erupted together, they would have been enough to resist an expert of his level.
But now, they had all turned into nothingness, becoming fodder for the Demon.
Fury ignited in Ralva's heart.
This was the horror of the Demon.
This was the evil of the Demon.
Taking slaughter as nourishment to grow continuously.
The more slaughter there was, the stronger the Demon became; and the stronger the Demon became, the more it loved to slaughter.
"My Lord, this is a Demon."
"For countless years, the Universe has been in constant turmoil and slaughter. The root cause is the mischief of the Demons!"
Ralva took a deep breath and spoke to Ji Yebai.
Ji Yebai turned his head and glanced at Ralva.
The Ralva at this moment was different from any time Ji Yebai had seen him before.
Anger, self-reproach, powerlessness, and sorrow!
A figure at the Legendary Peak actually had emotions so rich they could be seen at a glance.
It was enough to see the towering waves in his heart.
Ji Yebai did not speak, and Ralva continued to himself: "It is said that before the Cosmic Union was established, such scenes were everywhere! I hadn't seen it and could never imagine what kind of scene that would be, but now, seeing this countless flesh and blood turned into nourishment for a Demon, I finally understand my own duty!"
"The Alliance established Demon Suppressors for the purpose of stopping Demons. Even if we cannot stop them one hundred percent, we will be the first to rush over and block them for a moment!"
Ji Yebai didn't say anything, listening quietly.
"In the past, I always felt that the treatment this position enjoyed was very high and that many things were deserved, but now, I... sigh..."
Ralva sighed softly.
After a period of silence, he continued: "Saints are the main combat force against Demons, but for the myriad races in our Cosmic Union to become a Saint, it is simply too difficult!"
"Saints are rare, and that is why Demon Suppressors were established."
"Unless it's a necessary situation, Demon Suppressors should take action to resolve it. Only when it truly cannot be resolved will a Saint be called to clear out the Demon!"
Ralva lowered his head and closed his eyes powerlessly.
"Now, this place has exceeded the scope of my ability. I implore you, My Lord, to take action and resolve this Demon!"
Ralva had already seen the situation clearly.
The massive Demon forming in the center of the sea of blood was definitely not something he could handle.
Even if that Demon hadn't become a Demon Archduke, it was at least an existence with one foot through the door.
Demons are Immortal and indestructible, incredibly powerful.
It had already exceeded Ralva's ability. If such a Demon appeared in the past, it should have been cleared by a team of Saint warriors.
But now.
There was only Ji Yebai here.
Ralva did not underestimate the Saint, Ji Yebai.
The martial power of any Saint was off the charts.
Such a person could even interfere with the rotation of a planet with a single thought.
The terrifying nature of a star-level lifeform was far beyond imagination.
But.
This Saint was ultimately seeing a Demon for the first time.
The horror of a Demon was truly unimaginable.
Because on the frontmost battlefields, even Saints could fall.
Ji Yebai did not look at Ralva; he quietly watched the Demon taking shape in the distance.
After a long time.
He finally spoke: "This Demon's strength is decent, but it is still within my range to handle. Since it's my first time seeing a Demon, I should observe more!"
He looked up: "Rest assured, when it is time to act, I will act!"
Ji Yebai's words made Ralva fall silent.
His strength was close to a Saint, and he could even touch the Law to integrate it into himself and step into the Transformation Stage at any time.
Therefore, he understood the horror and power of a Saint.
With a thought, rivers and mountains wither!
With a thought, mountain ranges crack!
These were small matters.
What truly demonstrated the terrifying martial power of a Saint was their interference with planets.
Through the continuous vibration and superposition of Laws, destroying a planet or wiping out an ecosphere were simple tasks.
Now.
Ralva no longer spoke.
Standing beside Ji Yebai, he quieted down.
...
Boom!
A pitch-black giant hand slammed down, sharp claws covered in scales digging deep into the ground.
With a sudden surge of force, the massive pitch-black body stood up.
Rumble!
This movement caused the earth to start trembling.
Standing in the center of the basin.
The Demon's body blotted out the sun; the fifty-meter-tall frame exuded infinite frenzy and horror.
Boom!
The tail swept across.
The scales and barbs growing on it, carrying immense force, whipped through the air with an explosion, easily kicking up massive waves in the center of the sea of blood.
Flesh and blood flew everywhere; even the body of a sea fish no smaller than a Blue Whale was easily whipped in half.
"Roar!!!"
The giant Demon roared suddenly.
The massive sound waves instantly whipped up a category twelve typhoon.
The entire sea of blood was blown into constant ripples.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Corpses were thrown high into the air and then fell back down, splashing crimson-black blood.
Boom!
A massive gaze shot straight over.
It carried chaos and evil intensified to the extreme.
If it were a lifeform below the Legendary rank, merely enduring such a gaze would drive them mad.
Even Ralva at this moment.
Felt his spirit take a sudden impact.
That feeling was like carrying a great mountain on his back.
This made Ralva's expression extremely grim.
The Demon, watching this from a distance, suddenly laughed silently.
Snow-white fangs appeared incredibly hideous.
He slowly spread his arms.
The arm span of a hundred meters obscured the heavens.
Countless dark auras surged like a mass of spreading mist.
That mist, carrying extreme corrosiveness, fell directly onto the surface of the sea of blood.
Immediately.
The sea of flesh and blood began to sizzle and pop.
Countless bones and corpses that had not yet dissolved accelerated their dissolution under the black mist.
In just a moment, all the flesh and blood within sight had turned into bloody water.
The surface of the sea of blood suddenly rose.
Suck!
A massive suction force arrived; blood tornadoes formed on the sea of blood and then slowly rose.
Massive amounts of seawater were instantly sucked into the Demon's belly.
The Demon's aura suddenly surged.
This scene made Ralva clench his fists and subconsciously look at Ji Yebai.
Ji Yebai remained as still as a statue.
Seeing that the Lord was so composed, Ralva's heart felt slightly more at ease.
At this moment.
Massive amounts of evil aura rampaged, and overwhelming chaos surged and billowed.
If there were warriors below the Legendary rank within it, the Demon wouldn't even need to act; this chaotic aura alone would be enough to make their spirits collapse, unable to maintain themselves.
The sky-filling evil aura was enriched to the extreme.
In the distance, the hideous Demon raised its head and looked over.
With its bloody maw and sharp fangs, it laughed silently.
It saw through Ji Yebai's strength in one glance.
"A Saint, just enough to become nourishment for me to recover my strength!"
The voice was low, like a devil's roar.
And this.
Made Ji Yebai's eyes flicker.
Suddenly, Ji Yebai began to laugh.
"A Demon, truly extraordinary!"
He had been observing and analyzing the Demon before him.
From when it was just a heart, to becoming this fifty-meter-tall behemoth.
Everything that happened was displayed in minute detail in Ji Yebai's eyes.
In Blue Star Civilization, the essence of Martial Arts is evolution.
And specifically, the evolution of the path of flesh and blood.
In the entire Blue Star Civilization, even now, the one with the deepest insights into the path of evolution was Ji Yebai.
Not because he had reached Nirvana.
But because of his past experience of possessing the Five Divine Beasts.
After that, it was those three hundred years of secluded cultivation.
During those three hundred years, his flesh and blood were constantly torn apart and then healed.
His entire being was searching for the path of evolution amidst the tearing.
Ji Yebai had very deep insights into the evolution and potential of the essence of flesh and blood.
And his Breakthrough to Nirvana.
Was achieved by drawing on the legend of the Phoenix's Nirvana, Rebirth through fire.
It could be said to be an application of Laws.
Fleshly Derivation is a common ability.
Even Innate warriors can possess the ability of Fleshly Derivation.
However, compared to the Life and Death Realm, the gap is huge.
A Martial Artist of the Life and Death Realm is enough to grow an arm out of thin air.
Even if the body is incredibly damaged, as long as there is time, it can be restored.
Essentially, it relies on the will contained within the flesh and blood cells.
When the flesh and blood cells contain will, it is equivalent to every cell having a backup of the body's genetic information.
Therefore, as long as there is enough energy and time, one can recover as before.
This is also the essence of Fleshly Derivation in the Martial Arts of Blue Star Civilization.
And now.
Ji Yebai not only saw Fleshly Derivation in this Demon, but also saw a kind of inference he had once made: Fleshly Rebirth.
There were even things at a deeper level.
Of course, these were not what interested Ji Yebai the most.
What truly benefited him was the things revealed during this Demon's derivation process.
The Demon before him had pitch-black, incredibly crimson muscles.
And they proliferated infinitely.
The vitality within its body was combined within the flesh and blood in a weirdly twisted form.
This scene made Ji Yebai think of something.
Cancer cells.
Pathologically spreading cancer cells.
Eternal, disordered, chaotic, powerful, and extremely infectious!
Truly.
All of this made Ji Yebai's eyes light up.
"Good, good, good!"
Ji Yebai said 'good' three times in a row, gave a light laugh, and took a step out into the air.
With one step, a flame suddenly rose beneath his foot; the flame flickered and transformed into a blooming red lotus.
With Ji Yebai's next step, a pool of water surged, and a blue lotus bloomed.
With every step he took, a lotus flower bloomed.
Each lotus was formed from Five Elements Energy.
At this moment.
Ji Yebai was like a descending Immortal, walking step by step from the high cliff toward the dried-up sea of blood.
Behind Ji Yebai, five-colored rays of light rose.
At this moment, Ji Yebai had descended like an Immortal coming to the mortal world.
In the basin below, the sea of blood had dried up, but there were still residues of crimson-black blood.
It was incredibly foul-smelling.
Ji Yebai walked upon such desolation.
Suddenly, a clear fragrance rose.
Even that pervasive foul stench could not cover its coolness.
This clear fragrance was refreshing to the heart and soothing to the Divine Soul.
Even Ralva subconsciously took a few extra breaths.
At this moment, if the people of Blue Star Civilization were here, they would actually recognize this fragrance.
Lotus fragrance!
The fragrance of a lotus that rises from the mud but remains unstained!
