Chapter 429 - 321: The Heaven-Sent Talent of the Profound Yin Sect

Chapter 429: Chapter 321: The Heaven-Sent Talent of the Profound Yin Sect

These faces—old and young, Human and Alien, each with unique features—were all twisted in agony. As they howled, blood streamed from every orifice while a thick black qi billowed out, spreading into a mist.

A dense aura of resentment rose up, mingled with Blood Evil Qi. Amidst the shrieks of these faces, a sinister wind howled, carrying the cries of wailing ghosts. This cacophony became a boundless, soul-shattering scream that exploded within a person’s Divine Sense and mind.

"ROAR!!"

The Divine Technique was not yet fully unleashed, but the mere howls from these grotesque faces generated an immense pressure. It swept up the resentful aura and slammed violently against Yu Changsheng’s spirit.

"Pfft..."

Yu Changsheng grunted and coughed up another mouthful of blood. His face went pale as he struggled to suppress his surging vitality. His Sea of Consciousness trembled, purging the resentful aura that had been forced inside. Panting, his eyes now bloodshot, he glared at Blood Refiner.

"This is getting more and more interesting. My Blood Child was formed from the fusion of over ten thousand Resentful Souls. For you to withstand their Divine Soul Shock, it seems your Divine Soul has also reached the Golden Core Stage."

The interest in Blood Refiner’s eyes grew stronger. After licking his lips, he gently tapped the floating Blood Child before him. The next moment, he uttered a single word.

"Fuse!"

The next instant, the Blood Child shuddered. It began to slowly melt and fuse, spreading out into a sea of blood that covered the surroundings.

As the blood that composed it fused, drop by drop, the remnant souls contained within shrieked, releasing a boundless, resentful aura. Their faces twisted as they dissolved completely, melting into the spreading sea of blood.

The Sea of Blood was vast. At first, it only covered an area a hundred meters across, but when a drop of blood fell from the tip of Blood Refiner’s tongue, the sea instantly roared. Great waves erupted from its surface as it rapidly expanded, blanketing the land for a hundred miles in every direction.

Looking up from the bottom of the rift valley, the sliver of sky had been completely replaced by the shocking Sea of Blood. A suppressive, stifling, and ominous aura instantly permeated the canyon.

"ROAR ROAR ROAR!!"

The center of the Sea of Blood churned as astonishing ripples spread out. Amidst the endless surging, a pair of enormous, scarlet, vertical pupils suddenly opened and stared directly at Yu Changsheng, boiling with intense ferocity. Then, they coalesced into a gigantic, sky-blotting ghostly face. It rose and fell within the Sea of Blood, unleashing an earth-shattering roar at Yu Changsheng.

Yu Changsheng’s expression grew grave as a bead of cold sweat trickled down his forehead. ’It’s not that I can’t fight someone at the Mid-stage Golden Core. It’s just that Blood Refiner is clearly one of the most outstanding experts at that level.’ The pressure he felt was naturally immense.

"This rift valley will make a fine grave for you."

Blood Refiner hovered beneath the Sea of Blood, his gaze cold and stern as he looked down at Yu Changsheng. His words were emotionless, like a bitter winter wind sweeping down upon him.

"RUMBLE!"

The vast Sea of Blood churned and then suddenly condensed, its hundred-mile expanse across the sky looking like the apocalypse. With a gentle press of his arm, Blood Refiner sent a pair of colossal Blood Hands erupting from within the sea. They possessed the might to prop up the heavens and an unstoppable momentum as they descended upon Yu Changsheng below!

The air boomed and the cliff walls exploded. A pressure like the majestic might of the heavens bore down on Yu Changsheng. With a grunt, his shoulders trembling, a dazzling golden light erupted from his body once more, illuminating a patch of the void beneath the Sea of Blood.

"Divine Light! Broken Body! Heaven-Reaching Technique!"

The golden light was too dazzling to look at directly. In an instant, a layer of golden armor covered Yu Changsheng’s body. His aura surged to its absolute peak, reaching a level that would make other Golden Core cultivators turn pale.

Moreover, a towering, thousand-foot-tall phantasmal Dharma Aspect slowly materialized behind him. It looked up at the descending, destructive Blood Hands and threw a punch of its own!

"The secret Divine Technique of the Yang Family... To think a kid like you actually obtained it."

Blood Refiner was taken aback. He watched the brilliantly glowing Yu Changsheng, a flicker of apprehension in his eyes. His brow furrowed slightly as he spoke again.

"What a pity, though. With your current Cultivation, how much of this Divine Technique’s true power can you really unleash?"

Blood Refiner chuckled, but Yu Changsheng remained unmoved. His vitality surged, but his Magical Power was also being consumed at a frantic rate to sustain the Dharma Aspect behind him.

The Dharma Aspect trembled, radiating an endless might. With a furious roar, it punched toward the colossal Blood Hands descending from the sky.

A shockwave of energy rolled out, and the void itself trembled violently. Boundless waves were kicked up within the Sea of Blood. As the Blood Hands shattered piece by piece, Yu Changsheng’s Dharma Aspect shuddered, and fine cracks began to spread across its body.

"Formless, Ghost Devouring!"

Blood Refiner’s expression remained unchanged as his hands formed a series of seals. Myriad rays of bloody light condensed into threads that wove themselves into the Celestial Vault Blood Sea. The sea began to boil as countless remnant souls emerged, howling with ferocious expressions. They slowly gathered into a thousand-foot-tall ghostly face. It was green-skinned with long fangs, bizarre and ominous. Opening its cavernous, bloody maw, it plummeted from the sky, attempting to swallow Yu Changsheng whole!

The Red Purgatory Dragon roared, its body swelling to a colossal size as it coiled high above Yu Changsheng. Seeing the oppressive ghostly face bearing down, it opened its great maw and spewed forth an endless torrent of Evil Fire.

The Profound Turtle let out a deep cry, its massive body occupying a corner of the sky. Vast ocean waves radiated from its shell, forming their own boundless sea. The azure water created a stark contrast with the Sea of Blood in the sky. The waves surged forward, joining the Red Purgatory Dragon’s Evil Fire to slam violently into the enormous ghostly face!

"ROAR!"

The ghostly face roared as it was struck. Under the combined assault of the Evil Fire and the ocean waves, it immediately began to distort. The countless remnant souls within it shrieked in agony. Cracks split open from its forehead and spread rapidly until, finally, the face disintegrated, melting back into the Sea of Blood.

Blood Refiner’s gaze hardened. He sneered, "You have quite a few tricks. Two Tier Three beasts. An ordinary opponent might actually be afraid of you."

Yu Changsheng’s expression remained calm. Sensing his depleted Magical Power, he casually took out another Tier Three Elixir and swallowed it. With a wave of his left hand, a flame began to dance in his palm. It started as a mere wisp but grew rapidly as nature’s spiritual energy poured madly into it.

"Void Fire Haoyang!"

The nearby Evil Fire was drawn in as well, gathering madly until it formed a thousand-foot-wide, dark-red fireball. It radiated terrifying heat, illuminating the rift valley like a third sun. Rampant energy raged within it. As Yu Changsheng thrust his palm upward, the orb instantly shot across the sky like an astonishing rainbow, plunging into the Celestial Vault Blood Sea.

Blood Refiner took a deep breath, a solemn expression finally appearing in his eyes. Gritting his teeth, his body transformed into a streak of light and dove into the Sea of Blood. The sea immediately churned, condensing to form a gigantic, blood-red bow. As the bowstring was drawn taut like a full moon, a massive Blood Arrow was nocked and fired, shooting toward the Void Fire Haoyang.

RUMBLE!

The arrow pierced the fiery sun. A violent explosion followed, unleashing a blinding flash of white light and heat that filled the world. The hundred-mile Sea of Blood visibly contracted, shrinking a great deal. At the same time, Blood Refiner, who was inside it, also turned pale.

Before the aftershocks could dissipate, the illusory form of the Profound Turtle once again enveloped the sky. Amidst the fiery storm, a splash of azure light suddenly bloomed, transforming into a monstrous tidal wave that crashed into the already-weakened Sea of Blood.

"Vast Sea Without Limits!"

The two seas collided, causing an eruption of both bloody and azure light. The Profound Turtle’s form rose and fell within the blue ocean, controlling the might of the Vast Sea to unleash one explosive wave after another.

It was like the dawn of creation. The entire rift valley shook, and sections of earth and rock collapsed. The mere aftershocks rippling out from the clash were enough to shake the ancient, weathered cliff faces on both sides. Fortunately, the valley was wide enough that there was no fear of it being completely flooded.

However, the immense aftershocks still caused Zhang Tianwen and the others, who were fighting nearby, to pale. They all instinctively retreated from the area, gasping in silent terror.

’That guy... We’re both considered prodigies, so why is the gap between us so huge? Even among Golden Core experts, very few could withstand an attack like that, right?’

’The Wanxiang Sect’s Yu Changsheng, huh... No wonder the Peak Master told us to pay special attention to him.’

Ming Feng and Ming Yun exchanged a look, each seeing the grave expression in the other’s eyes. They then shook their heads with wry smiles.
