Deep within the dungeon.
In an ancient, dilapidated cave, blood mist swirled, and a fishy wind assailed the senses.
Shen Lian gritted his teeth, veins throbbing on his forehead, desperately suppressing the demonic blood. Waves of Bloodthirsty power surged through his limbs and bones, refining and transforming his Physical Body and Divine Soul.
He sat at the center of the Formation, his entire body crimson as blood, his eyes transformed into scarlet vertical pupils, flickering with madness and Bloodthirsty light.
His red hair, tainted by the blood Qi, had also become fiery red, slowly swaying.
Before Shen Lian.
A black-robed, scarlet figure trembled violently, emitting a low roar. It was the ancient powerful remnant soul screaming and struggling.
“Haha…hahaha!”
“This Seat has finally seen the light of day again!”
“Boy, submit to me, or your Divine Soul will be annihilated!”
At this moment, the blood Qi within the dungeon Formation surged, revealing a colossal black shadow with wings that blotted out the sky and a blood-red crown on its head—the legendary phantom of the Bloodthirsty Demon Emperor!
“Even if you are the Bloodthirsty Demon Emperor, you are nothing more than a mere ancient remnant soul now. You still wish to Possess me? Be completely annihilated!”
Shen Lian’s voice was low, carrying a hint of madness, like a Devil God roaring.
Boom!!
Amidst the bursting blood-light, his aura soared several times over.
A monstrous Devilish might shot up into the sky, piercing through the clouds, shaking the entire gloomy dungeon incessantly!
Shen Lian used every method at his disposal, attempting to suppress him.
“Junior! How dare you?”
The scarlet black figure’s tone carried fear, clearly not expecting the other party to have prepared so many methods, and could not help but accelerate the Possession process.
After an incense stick’s time.
Shen Lian’s face was taut, cold sweat drenching his entire body, yet he still hadn’t completely erased the Bloodthirsty Demon Emperor’s remnant soul.
But both sides were greatly depleted.
He no longer hesitated, taking out an ancient saintly relic and immediately activating it to its fullest.
“Dual Soul Symbiosis! Junior, are you mad?”
“I was forced into this! Jiang Ye, you truly deserve to die. I have no other choice at this point!”
“No!!”
This was Shen Lian’s final trump card.
From now on, the two Divine Souls would share one Physical Body.
From this point forward, they would live and die together, unable to Possess or use other Physical Bodies, with no retreat whatsoever.
By this time, Shen Lian’s heart was filled with endless rage directed only at Jiang Ye; he held no great hatred for the Bloodthirsty Demon Emperor.
It was as if everything was caused by Jiang Ye… At the entrance of the dungeon.
A young man covered in mud and looking utterly disheveled slowly regained consciousness from his coma.
Chu Nan groggily opened his eyes, feeling an intense headache, as if his Divine Soul was being torn apart.
The medicinal power of the Azure Soul Pill was taking effect, slowly helping him repair his damaged Divine Soul, but the side effect was chaotic Divine Sense and dizziness, making him want to vomit.
“How did I get here?”
“Sister, Master…”
“Jiang Ye…”
“Ugh… So painful. Did Jiang Ye put me here? I think he searched my soul?”
Chu Nan came to his senses, his scalp tingling.
Goosebumps rose all over his body, and for a moment, he was at a loss.
“He didn’t kill me!?”
Chu Nan struggled to get up, looking around.
Suddenly.
A chillingly bloody Qi assailed him, making all the hairs on his body stand on end.
The next moment, his gaze suddenly fell upon the red-haired man walking steadily towards him from the depths of the dungeon. The other party’s aura was incomparably tyrannical, with monstrous blood Qi, and Devilish shadows swirled around his body!
It was precisely Shen Lian!
Shen Lian’s expression froze, his scarlet blood eyes, like knives, fell upon Chu Nan, murderous intent surging.
Immediately, the Bloodthirsty Demon Emperor’s voice echoed in his mind.
“Boy, because of you, you and I are now on the same boat. He saw the blood Devil Qi on your body!”
“You are still very weak now. You absolutely cannot let him spread the word. Kill him!”
Shen Lian immediately brought out the Blood Moon Divine Ring, and the Evil Qi on his body erupted, staring intently at him.
The Blood Soul Devil Body was formed; there was no turning back from becoming a Devil.
If he were exposed, he would surely attract countless Daoist factions to besiege and kill him.
Chu Nan shivered all over, and a recording stone beside him suddenly activated.
“Ah! Ah ah!”
“If I become a Devil, there will be no immortals in the world! Jiang Ye, I want you dead!”
A fluorescent glow filled the dim, gloomy cave, revealing the scene of Shen Lian’s recent Devilization.
Seeing this scene.
How could Chu Nan not understand what was happening?
Everything was arranged by Jiang Ye, who deliberately threw him here.
“Shen Lian! I recognize you, don’t attack, I am also…”
Boom!!
Shen Lian did not hesitate, immediately striking to suppress and kill.
He transformed into a blood shadow, suddenly pouncing forward, the blood wheel like a moon, carrying monstrous Devilish might directly towards Chu Nan’s throat!
“This is bad!”
Chu Nan’s face turned pale, his spiritual power chaotic within his body.
His body had not yet recovered to its Peak, making even dodging difficult.
At the brink of death, he could only grit his teeth and forcefully activate the remaining spiritual power in his body, bringing out a Heavenly Mystery Ziwei Mirror in his hand to instantly block the attack.
Clang!!
Shen Lian’s blood wheel directly shattered the mirror with a single strike, and the incomparably powerful Devilish Qi caused Chu Nan’s chest to cave in, sending him spewing blood and flying backward!
“Cough cough…”
Chu Nan was both shocked and enraged, an uncontrollable fear rising in his heart.
“No matter who you are, since you’ve seen it, you must die!”
Shen Lian sneered, approaching step by step, scarlet Devilish flames entwined around his body, like a Blood Butcher from Hell.
Boom!!
He took a step, and the blood Qi, like a tide, directly sealed the entire cave space, instantly cutting off all possibilities for Chu Nan to escape!
“It’s over…”
Chu Nan’s heart turned cold, his body trembling uncontrollably.
Shen Lian showed no mercy, his blood wheel flying out, intending to sever Chu Nan’s head.
At this moment.
A wave of Dao power fluctuations emanated within the space.
Buzz!
Within Chu Nan’s body, a wisp of faint green light quietly emerged, weak yet brimming with vitality.
The vitality, like water, transformed into a protective green light, forcefully activated at the critical moment, inch by inch dissipating the blood wheel’s attacking Devilish Evil Qi that Shen Lian had brought out!
“Hm?!”
Shen Lian’s gaze narrowed slightly, sensing the strange vitality fluctuation within Chu Nan’s body.
Faintly, there was even a trace of the Great Dao flowing!
“Something’s strange…”
“Boy, hurry up and act! This is the power of the Great Dao!”
The Bloodthirsty Demon Emperor’s anxious voice came to Shen Lian’s ears.
He also realized the seriousness of the situation and immediately struck again!
…In a distant, dilapidated mountain village.
A silent ancient temple suddenly exploded, and a majestic Imperial might soared into the sky!
A hunched figure sat cross-legged.
His face was aged, with deep wrinkles between his brows.
The heavy Evil Devil Qi on his body continuously surged, causing great damage to his Divine Soul, and the familiar fluctuations of the Three Fortunes Yi Dao Method came from within him.
“Chu Nan… What happened?”
“Life is hanging by a thread…”
“Luck is thin…”
“Why would he suffer such a calamity?”
“Where are the Elders of my Heavenly Dao Academy!?”
“Why aren’t they protecting Chu Nan?”
Heavenly Mystery Great Emperor shook his head helplessly, taking a drop of radiant immortal dew. His cloudy old eyes immediately became sharp and brilliant.
His Divine Thought investigated.
“Hm?!”
“Who destroyed my Heavenly Dao Academy? You court death!”
A low, ancient voice, like thunder from above the firmament, rang out.
Originally, the Heavenly Mystery Great Emperor’s body was already severely polluted by Evil Devil Qi.
Now, in this forced activation state, upon realizing the extremely weak flow of Luck on Chu Nan’s body, he was even more enraged!
“Who!?”
Heavenly Mystery Great Emperor extended his Divine Thought, discovering that the Heide Dao Domain had been erased, not a trace of vitality remaining.
Only endless murderous blood Qi.
“Is it Empress Hongye!?”
“Why would she destroy my Heavenly Dao Academy?”
“I never offended her, did I? Wasn’t there a covenant agreement back then?”
“Sigh… First, save Chu Nan!”
