405: Chapter 405 The Gap is Too Big

Watching the blood snakes tearing towards him, Nie Ning condensed energy within his body onto his blade, slashing out with a backhand strike, and a white screen of light enveloped the blood snakes.

"Crack~"

Nie Ning maintained his forward momentum, but a red dot appeared on the massive blade of light that had flown out.

Immediately after, a blood snake pierced through the blade of light and slammed into Nie Ning.

In an instant, Nie Ning's expression shifted slightly; his internal organs trembled, and he couldn't help but spit out a mouthful of blood as his entire body was knocked into the ground like a meteor.

The Demon Wizard nodded with satisfaction; this was his normal level, after all.

Even if your talent could crush everyone from the past and present, you were still not enough in the face of absolute strength.

Even if his strength had regressed to this extent, it was not something others could challenge.

Soon, the wound on his chest healed rapidly; the speed of healing was not even slower than Nie Ning's.

According to the Artistic Conception of Blood he had mastered, such an injury was not worth mentioning at all.

Looking at the motionless ground below, the Demon Wizard lost interest in continuing to play.

The surrounding blood mist slowly condensed into lines, and a massive blood-colored magic array appeared in the air.

As the Demon Wizard pressed his hand down, a torrential volume of blood poured down from the sky, submerging the deep pit in an instant.

But just at this moment, the soil beneath the Demon Wizard's feet exploded, and a blood-colored figure shot upwards at an extremely high speed.

The Demon Wizard smiled contemptuously.

With a wave of his hand, the blood on the ground turned into a large fish, which leaped up and swallowed the blood-colored figure in one bite.

However, the Demon Wizard quickly noticed something was wrong.

From the position where the blood fish had just landed, a smear of color began to spread to the surroundings.

Feeling that strange energy fluctuation, the Demon Wizard frowned slightly: "Corruption?"

Although he did not fear the Power of Corruption, the Power of Corruption was still very troublesome for him.

Because of its extremely strong corrosive nature, it was very slow to consume, and the converted energy was not as much as when consuming regular creatures.

The reason was simple: the Power of Corruption was unique, but that did not mean it was superior to other elements; the total sum of energy would not change because of its uniqueness.

The Demon Wizard raised his hand, and a bubble enclosed the contaminated blood, then floated into mid-air.

Just a moment ago, the opponent clearly didn't have such a dense Power of Corruption, so how did he suddenly transform completely into a Corrupted Creature?

Even he, despite possessing the Soul-Eating Demon Bloodline, was still unwilling to touch the Power of Corruption too much, because it was a type of energy that could erode in reverse.

Once a problem occurred, he could potentially transform into a Corruptor in an instant.

Suddenly, the blood inside the blood sphere surged, and a large number of tentacles shot out from within.

The bubble was popped by the tentacles, and the corrupted blood turned into a large net that enveloped the Demon Wizard.

The Demon Wizard watched this scene with a calm expression; he merely lifted his arm slightly, and a large amount of blood already wrapped around the large net, condensing back into a blood sphere.

Looking at the surging blood inside the blood sphere, the Demon Wizard had already seen through the opponent's essence.

"If this is a Corrupted Creature, then where are you..."

The Demon Wizard suddenly turned his head to look behind him.

A large number of white chains resembling ice crystals shot out from the void, sweeping towards the Demon Wizard.

But the Demon Wizard did not make any moves; the blood below autonomously formed a barrier, intercepting all the white Ice Chains outside.

At this moment, the blood sphere in front of the Demon Wizard suddenly exploded.

Just as the Demon Wizard was distracted, the mud and stone not far from him shattered, and Nie Ning rushed towards the Demon Wizard holding the xueyan bladeless.

With the enhancement of fusion energy, the xueyan bladeless instantly broke through the defense of the blood-colored barrier.

Just as the xueyan bladeless was about to stab the Demon Wizard, the Demon Wizard spoke calmly with no fluctuation on his face.

"Solidify."

It was as if even the air had been solidified; no matter how hard Nie Ning exerted force, the xueyan bladeless in his hand could not advance even half a fraction.

The Demon Wizard did not give Nie Ning another chance; a marble-like blood-colored droplet condensed in his palm.

Feeling the energy contained within the blood-colored droplet, Nie Ning couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

Seeming to enjoy this feeling very much, the corners of the Demon Wizard's mouth raised slightly.

But just at this moment, Nie Ning reached out and used the Universal Language of the Myriad Worlds to give the Demon Wizard the middle finger.

The Demon Wizard was stunned for a moment.

As a former eighth-order wizard, he couldn't remember how long it had been since someone had mocked him, because everyone was fearful when they saw him.

Even those stronger than him, out of concern for their own face, would certainly not make such an unsightly gesture.

And while the Demon Wizard was stunned, the white fusion energy on the surface of the xueyan bladeless receded, and the originally star-like blade was wrapped in a smear of gray mist.

The Demon Wizard instantly sensed that dense Power of Corruption.

But by the time he reacted, it was already too late.

The gray mist on the surface of the xueyan bladeless instantly solidified, turning into a huge and strange gray shadow of a bear head.

Seeing that it was a fourth-order Corruptor, the Demon Wizard was much calmer.

Although he was not completely immune to the Power of Corruption, this level of Corruptor could hardly cause him any harm.

If this was Nie Ning's last resort...

The blood bead in the Demon Wizard's hand shot out, tearing a large hole in the body of the Jerky Bear Head.

Just as the blood bead was about to hit Nie Ning, the shriveled and thin body of the Jerky Bear Head pulled out a broken dagger and slashed across the Demon Wizard's chest.

The broken dagger was not sharp, merely cutting a wound over ten centimeters long on the Demon Wizard's chest.

But under this strike, the originally calm Demon Wizard's expression changed drastically.

A strange corrosive energy surged into his Spiritual Sea of Consciousness, beginning to pollute his spiritual world and body.

Watching the Jerky Bear Head that wanted to continue attacking, the Demon Wizard extended his left hand, and a violent red wave crashed into the Jerky Bear Head, knocking it away directly.

...

Meanwhile, when facing the blood bead, Nie Ning could only grit his teeth and dodge away from his vital body parts.

Because of the long-term absorption, the surrounding life energy was already very scarce, and the recovery speed of his internal organs was clearly not as fast as his flesh.

But even so, Nie Ning still underestimated the energy contained within the blood bead.

The blood bead instantly broke through his black armor and exploded on Nie Ning's left shoulder, instantly shattering a small half of Nie Ning's body.

In an instant, blood mixed with fragments of flesh fell from the sky.

Facing such a heavy blow, Nie Ning's entire being was enveloped in immense pain, and even his consciousness began to show signs of dissipating.

However, with the enhancement of the Forbidden Domain of Living Beings, a continuous stream of demonic power began to transform into life energy to heal Nie Ning.

Although Nie Ning's body was recovering rapidly, his Spiritual Power began to be consumed at an accelerated rate.

Without sufficient Spiritual Power to suppress it, the black horny layer on Nie Ning's body surface grew wildly, and in an instant, it turned Nie Ning into a strange, irregular black sphere.
