Chapter 508: The Di Tian Devil Lord
On the shores of the North Sea, Skyark Palace!
Radiating with a blazing, blood-red light, the Bloodlust Demon Wheel loomed high in the sky like a rising sun, illuminating the entire night to be as bright as day.
Meanwhile, the scene beneath the Bloodlust Demon Wheel was nothing but a chaotic mess.
The Arctic Skyark Palace, which stood tall in the Northern Sea for countless ages as an indestructible demonic palace, now lay in ruins. Countless withered and contorted corpses scattered amidst the debris of the palace, filling the air with an overwhelming aura of despair and malevolence.
At the moment when the Bloodlust Demon Wheel rose, these demonic beings, who nearly gathered the entire demonic power of the Celestial Desolation Realm, appeared so weak and powerless, even resisting was futile and they had no means to fight back.
Further out, Candle Dragon and Jiu Mie stood in the void, both of them battered and half-covered in blood.
And as for Ao Tianxing, who inherited the profound path of Fu Xi's Eight Trigrams and possessed vast potential, now only a single head remained, contorted with pain, barely saved by Lian Cangqing.
And the price paid by Lian Cangqing was having more than half of her body tainted by eerie blood radiance, now struggling to control the corrupting blood radiance within herself, unwilling to have her own cultivation taken away.
As for the previously arrogant three great ferocious beasts, they have now completely vanished. It is not that they escaped, but rather the moment the Bloodlust Demon Wheel rose, they were the first to be devoured by the All Souls Blood Magic Array, dying in excruciating agony.
If it weren't for the attraction and early departure caused by Lu Heng, Tao Wu would most likely have faced the inevitable demise at this moment.
And at the critical moment, it was not the young man clad in white who completed the All Souls Blood Magic Array, exterminating the three great ferocious beasts and hundreds of top demonic entities.
Rising beneath the Bloodlust Demon Wheel was a figure so eerie that it rendered one unable to gaze directly at it.
Its twisted time and space surrounding it made it impossible for anyone to glimpse its true form.
Emerging from the depths of the All Souls Blood Magic Array, this demon shadow instantaneously shattered the situation on the scene, swiftly achieving what Sun Yan had been unable to fully unleash - the All Souls Blood Magic Array.
The present white-clad youth is currently standing hollow-eyed in the void, devoid of any spiritual aura, resembling a lifeless corpse.
And behind the white-clad youth, that eerie figure let out a maniacal laughter.
"I have returned! Hahaha… I have finally returned!"
Amidst the sinister and rampant laughter, Lian Cangqing, who was fiercely resisting the onslaught of bloodshed, had a grim expression on her face and muttered, "It's actually this scoundrel…"
In her grasp, Ao Tianxing, with only his head remaining, grimaced in pain, yet he still managed to endure the agony of his shattered soul and asked, "Who is it? Please don't speak in riddles!"
Ao Tianxing, realizing the terrifying presence of the demon before him, exhibited a sense of urgency for the first time in his life.
In front, the Candle Dragon has transformed into a colossal, pitch-black serpent, with its eerie, crimson and cyan eyes fixed upon the demon shadow looming in the void. It uttered the forbidden name of the Celestial Desolation Realm.
"The Di Tian Devil Lord - Zhu Yan!"
In the void, this name caught the attention of the demon shadow. It turned back, cast a glance in this direction, and emitted a piercing laughter.
"In the present world, there are actually people who recognize me… Ah… So it's Zhu Jiuyou, we haven't seen each other for many years, it seems your cultivation has its limits!"
The derisive laughter of Zhu Yan darkened the countenance of the Candle Dragon.
And on the earth, Huo Feng, with his silver hair, waved his sword and flicked away the demonic blood on it. He said to Gu Yan and others behind him, "This battle situation is no longer one in which you can intervene… Withdraw quickly."
The Di Tian Devil Lord, this is a name that can truly be considered forbidden throughout the entire Celestial Desolation Realm.
Since the fall of the Emperor Fu Xi and the ancient crumbling of the Heavenly Court, the Di Tian Devil Lord has been universally acknowledged as the most powerful being throughout endless ages.
With the utilization of the All Souls Blood Magic Array, he achieved an ascension of flesh and spirit, reaching the pinnacle of cultivation. With his own power, he subjugated the entire Celestial Desolation Realm. Even the adversaries of the World of Eight Desolations didn't dare to provoke him without just cause during his reign!
On numerous occasions, the Earthly Catastrophe was effortlessly vanquished by him! When the killing spree ensued, it even managed to breach the gates of the temporal realm and nearly decimate the Thunder Roar Realm and the Shan Yun Realm!
Its existence makes the entire World of Eight Desolations tremble in fear.
Wherever the Devil Lord descended, flesh and blood turned to ashes, beings were reduced to cinders, and the death toll was devastatingly high.
This excessively terrifying and malevolent presence was unbearable for the entire World of Eight Desolations. To the extent that, when the Devil Lord was ultimately slain by the cunning machinations of an otherworldly force, the cultivators from the Celestial Desolation Realm, who shared the same origin as the Devil Lord, rejoiced and celebrated without restraint.
Due to the suffering this creature inflicted upon the Celestial Desolation Realm, it surpassed even the Earthly Catastrophe in terms of severity! Undoubtedly, it is the most malevolent demon in history!
Gu Yan and the others, under the leadership of Xiao Ai, wield control over the Heavenly Court, immersing themselves in copious volumes of literature, thereby leaving no room for ignorance regarding the dreaded nature of the Di Tian Devil Lord.
Therefore, when Huo Feng spoke, after only a slight hesitation, they all bid farewell to Sword King with a respectful gesture and said, "Take care, senior!"
Only Gu Yan, filled with worry, looked towards the distant void, where the Bloodlust Demon Wheel resided. His gaze fell upon the ethereal and lifeless figure of the pale young man, seemingly deprived of vitality by the demon lord Zhu Yan.
No one could have imagined that this ancient great demon, which should have been completely eradicated, would be concealed within the All Souls Blood Magic Array, and would return anew by virtue of the unfolding of the All Souls Blood Magic Array!
The current white-clad youth, Demon King Sun Yan, has now become a puppet of Zhu Yan, to the extent that even his own soul may be on the brink of annihilation.
In the midst of Gu Yan's heartache, Huo Feng before him shook his head and said, "There's no need to worry for now. After all, the Monkey is a disciple of the Wolf God, having diligently cultivated the Tao Scripture for four thousand years. It's not so easily deprived of his soul… Rest assured, there is still hope."
The Sword King's casually comforting words left Gu Yan with a bitter smile.
Even if there is still salvation, who in this world can rescue Sun Yan in the presence of the Di Tian Devil Lord?
After Gu Yan bitterly bowed to the senior in front of him, he took a deep breath and vanished into light.
Therefore, apart from the unfortunate soul who met a tragic end during the first wave of the demon shadow's appearance, the remaining figures in the midst of the battlefield now consist of only a handful of individuals: Candle Dragon Jiu Mie and Sword King Huo Feng.
Lian Cangqing and Ao Tianxing were both on the periphery and had sustained injuries, rendering them unable to act for the time being.
Meanwhile, the ancient demonic beast Nine Phoenix, which was trapped beneath the Bloodlust Demon Wheel, was shrouded in eerie blood radiance and plagued by excruciating torment. Just resisting the insidious intrusion of this blood radiance had already reached its limit, leaving no room for idle capacity.
Therefore, the eerie demon shadow in the void smirked and jeered, witnessing the departure of the dozens of escaping beams of light, but made no attempt to stop them. Instead, it cast its gaze upon the seemingly inconspicuous Sword King in the field, sneering coldly.
"What? There's still hope? You, this younger generation, dare to speak so boldly… With just your tattered sword, who do you think you can save?"
The disdain of the demon shadow was undisguised.
Regarding this, the Sword King remained calm, with his sword edge hanging down, and said lightly, "I never said it was me who would come to save…"
Candle Dragon and Jiu Mie locked gazes, Jiu Mie clasped his hands together, and lamented, "Di Tian Devil Lord, how about we engage in a wager?"
The words spoken by the old ascetic cultivator piqued Zhu Yan's curiosity.
It cast a sideways glance at the emaciated old wandering monk and asked, "What shall we wager?"
Under the Bloodlust Demon Wheel, the countenance of the venerable monk Jiu Mie was burdened with sorrow as he uttered slowly, "I wager whether you can withstand a strike from a certain individual…"
