Chapter 667: Fight against the underworld demon and the blood pool of ten thousand ghosts!

“So this is the Han Sha Illusion Domain?”

Lu Changsheng was unaware that Nether Fiend True Lord had taken notice of him. Following the celestial light, after entering the crack in the sky, he only felt as if he had arrived in another world.

Clouds and mist billowed all around, while above, a vast starry sky sparkled like day. In the distance, mountains, rivers, and some tiny pavilions, terraces, and tall buildings could be seen, a scene completely different from what was visible outside the crack.

According to the Jade Slip information provided by Qingluan True Monarch, Lu Changsheng knew that the Han Sha Illusion Domain was ever-changing, and the situation would be different from before.

Cultivators formed teams primarily to avoid accidents, reduce risks, and collectively contend for Opportunities in the central great hall.

At this stage, one could go to these distant mountains, rivers, pavilions, and buildings to seek Opportunities.

Seeing that the Cultivators dispersed in all directions after entering the Secret Realm, Lu Changsheng did not linger. He controlled the Golden Winged Roc to quickly depart, then signaled the Sun Moon Two Instruments Profound Light Mirror to sense the whereabouts of his son, Lu Ping’an.

But the moment his Divine Sense extended, he found that his Divine Sense was subject to an invisible restriction.

Not only him, but even the scrying effect of the Sun Moon Two Instruments Profound Light Mirror was affected.

“Is the interference this great?”

Lu Changsheng knew that the Secret Realm suppressed Divine Sense and prevented spatial evasion, but he hadn’t expected his Divine Sense to be almost 90% restricted.

However, the Sun Moon Two Instruments Profound Light Mirror, being a heavenly spiritual treasure, could still scry hundreds of miles without expending Mana, even when affected.

He instantly saw Lu Ping’an being carried by a several-zhang-long Earth Dragon, while the old man who had previously carried him sat cross-legged.

“This looks like a Puppet, not a Third-Order or Fourth-Order Demon King?”

Through the Sun Moon Two Instruments Profound Light Mirror’s sensing, the Earth Dragon beneath the two of them had no Demon King Qi, so it should be a Yao Beast Puppet.

“In the Han Sha Illusion Domain, Divine Sense is suppressed by 90%, and Nascent Soul cultivators cannot freely evade through space. For me, this is an advantage…”

Lu Changsheng’s eyes narrowed slightly as he mused.

The Secret Realm’s restrictive effect was not targeted at him, but at all Cultivators.

In this situation, having the Sun Moon Two Instruments Profound Light Mirror as a detector and the Golden Winged Roc as a flying mount gave him a considerable advantage.

However, the Cultivators who could enter the Han Sha Illusion Domain were at least at the Late Stage Core Formation, and none of them were simple, all possessing their own methods.

With a thought, a porcelain bottle appeared in Lu Changsheng’s hand.

Opening it, a fragrant aroma wafted out.

Inside lay a crystal-clear Medicinal Pill, enveloped in Dragon-shaped Qi, which was precisely the Profound Dragon Nirvana Pill!

Although Lu Changsheng planned to wait for the Secret Realm to end after killing Loushan True Lord and rescuing Lu Ping’an, for the sake of caution, he decided to consume this rare Fourth-Order Medicinal Pill first!

After all, what shouldn’t be saved absolutely couldn’t be saved.

Moreover, even if the Profound Dragon Nirvana Pill wasn’t used, he could activate its Medicinal effect by self-mutilation just before its efficacy expired, undergoing a Nirvana transformation, breaking down to build anew!

So, no matter what, consuming the Medicinal Pill now would not be a loss.

Upon consuming the Profound Dragon Nirvana Pill, Lu Changsheng instantly felt a surging Medicinal power dissipate, slowly flowing through his limbs, bones, and Meridians.

This Medicinal power would continuously accumulate in his muscles, flesh, Meridians, internal organs, Qi Sea, and Dantian, then erupt when his body was severely injured and life was in peril, completely activating the Profound Dragon Nirvana power of the Medicinal Pill.

“Old fellow, I hope you don’t disappoint me.”

Lu Changsheng then placed his two Fourth-Order Talismans in his sleeve, convenient for activation and use.

Afterward, he monitored Loushan True Lord through the Sun Moon Two Instruments Profound Light Mirror, signaling the Golden Winged Roc to follow slowly, planning to act when they were deeper inside and fewer people were around.

During this process, Lu Changsheng tried his best to avoid trouble and did not contend with others for Secret Realm treasures.

He did, however, see that Loushan True Lord had acquired many heavenly spiritual materials.

His Earth Dragon Puppet, according to Lu Changsheng’s analysis, should be a top-tier Third-Order Puppet.

As for his strength, without him making a move, it was impossible to discern, but it was most likely Early Stage Nascent Soul.

Two days later, Lu Changsheng felt the timing was right and signaled the Golden Winged Roc to accelerate, then looked for an Opportunity to attack Loushan True Lord.

Just then, a deafening collision sound echoed from afar.

Two Nascent Soul cultivators were engaged in battle, creating terrifying Mana aftershocks.

Lu Changsheng had no intention of joining the excitement and signaled the Golden Winged Roc to turn and bypass them, to avoid being caught in the crossfire.

After he had avoided them, he saw through the Sun Moon Two Instruments Profound Light Mirror that Loushan True Lord had also clashed with a Nascent Soul True Lord, contending for a Spirit Treasure Embryo.

“Earth-attribute Cultivation Technique and Divine Ability. His combat power should be slightly stronger than the Five Poison Sect Leader, but far inferior to Xuanjian Zhenjun.”

Lu Changsheng analyzed as he watched the two fight.

However, the two did not truly unleash their full power. After more than ten rounds of engagement, they tacitly ceased their fight, and the other party offered a Fourth-Order spiritual material as compensation.

“Indeed, in such a Secret Realm, unless it’s an unparalleled Opportunity, few people will choose to fight to the death.”

Lu Changsheng lamented inwardly.

If Loushan True Lord had expended too much Mana at this time, he could have played the role of the mantis stalking the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind.

But let alone being the oriole, Loushan True Lord merely consumed a little Mana and immediately replenished and recovered his state with Spirit Stones, leaving Lu Changsheng no Opportunity at all.

Just like that, several days passed.

Lu Changsheng finally got his chance. He saw Loushan True Lord encounter a Fourth-Order Demon King in a cave, expending a great deal of energy. His top-tier Third-Order Earth Dragon Puppet was even damaged, and the unconscious Lu Ping’an was directly sealed into a spatial domain by him.

Perhaps because this Secret Realm restricted Divine Sense and prevented spatial evasion, it was quite mana-consuming to place a Third-Order Body Refining Core Formation cultivator into a spatial domain, which was why Lu Ping’an hadn’t been put in earlier.

The moment Lu Ping’an entered the spatial domain, Lu Changsheng instantly felt the image scried by the Sun Moon Two Instruments Profound Light Mirror become much blurrier.

“This is an Opportunity!”

Although Loushan True Lord was not injured, his consumption was considerable.

Based on Lu Changsheng’s observations over these days, he would definitely need to meditate and recover his state with Spirit Stones soon!

“Whoosh!”

Just as the Golden Winged Roc transformed into a golden rainbow, tearing through layers of air and soaring towards Loushan True Lord at an astonishing speed, a sudden gust of Yin wind and ghostly mist whistled from the side, sweeping across the world. A chilling, bone-piercing dark ghost hand attacked Lu Changsheng.

The Golden Winged Roc instantly shrieked, its entire body brilliant, like a golden celestial sun. Countless sword-like feathers appeared before it, shooting towards the ghost hand.

“Nether Fiend True Lord!?”

Lu Changsheng frowned slightly, recognizing the Mana aura. He hadn’t expected Nether Fiend True Lord to also come to the Han Sha Illusion Domain.

“Immortal Master Yang Ming, what a narrow escape!”

From within the Yin wind and ghostly mist, a cold, eerie voice emerged, and then a middle-aged man with an ugly face and dressed in a dark red ghost robe slowly appeared.

It was the Supreme Elder of Yinming Ghost Sect, Nether Fiend True Lord.

“What, does Nether Fiend True Lord want to have a match with me here?”

Lu Changsheng, in his dark mystic robe, with an heroic face, held the Great Luo Sword Embryo and spoke coldly.

If not for his concern for his son, Lu Ping’an, Lu Changsheng wouldn’t mind unleashing his full power to slay the Nether Fiend True Lord before him.

“A mere Core Formation cultivator, even if you have heaven-defying Opportunities and hold a supreme treasure, do you really think you can contend with this True Lord?!”

Nether Fiend True Lord saw Lu Changsheng, a Core Formation cultivator, completely fearless of him, as if he had been insulted. His dark red ghost robe billowed, and he conjured a bizarrely patterned, intricate inkstone.

“Gurgle! Gurgle! Gurgle!”

The inkstone grew with the wind, transforming into a several-zhang-large pool of blood, surrounded by a thick, foul-smelling sanguine mist.

This blood mist seemed to have life, forming grotesque ghost faces. Within the blood pool, dark red blood churned like boiling water, bubbling up and emitting horrifying “plop plop” sounds as they burst.

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh—”

The blood pool unleashed endless brilliance, Yin winds howled, ghostly Qi surged, and the wails of ghosts rose and fell, unsettling Lu Changsheng’s mind.

Immediately after, he saw the sanguine ghost wind enveloping Lu Changsheng from all directions, transforming into countless Yin soldiers and ghost generals, covering the sky and earth.

“Ten Thousand Ghost Blood Pool!? Ten Thousand Ghost Dao Soldiers!”

Lu Changsheng had previously learned about this supreme treasure of the Yinming Ghost Sect through the Five Poison Sect Leader.

He hadn’t expected Nether Fiend True Lord to bring the Sect’s supreme treasure, no wonder he was confident in ambushing him.

“According to A Youduo, this blood pool can not only defile Magic Treasures and produce an endless supply of Ten Thousand Ghost Dao Soldiers, but it also contains a Fourth-Order Ghost King with formidable combat power!”

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng’s Great Luo Sword Embryo erupted with brilliant sword light. He slashed forward fiercely, signaling the Golden Winged Roc to quickly depart, unwilling to entangle with Nether Fiend True Lord.

After all, to slay him, he would have to unleash his full power.

If the commotion was too great and attracted other Nascent Soul cultivators to secretly intervene, then it would be very troublesome.

“That day, you were with the Five Poison Sect Leader, and you escaped. Now that you are alone, you should obediently surrender!”

Nether Fiend True Lord had been observing Lu Changsheng’s Mana aura since entering the Secret Realm. Having finally encountered him, how could he let him escape?

His dark red palm suddenly spread open, unleashing a brewing Nascent Soul Divine Ability. Blood Qi and ghostly Qi formed a gigantic hundred-zhang ghost hand, blocking Lu Changsheng’s path.

“Nine Treasures Wishful Bone! Brahma Demon True Body!”

Seeing this, Lu Changsheng’s Nine Treasures Wishful Bone intertwined on his chest, his Mana Qi erupting like a volcano. A three-headed, six-armed Buddhist demon phantom appeared behind him, striking out simultaneously with the brilliant sword light, shattering the ghost hand.

“Ten Thousand Ghost Great Array!”

Nether Fiend True Lord shouted. From the Ten Thousand Ghost Blood Pool, an endless stream of Ten Thousand Ghost Dao Soldiers appeared, their Qi merging into his ghost hand, forming a bloody, malevolent ghost Qi that pressed down on Lu Changsheng.

However, Lu Changsheng possessed the Chaos Body, a quasi-Fourth-Order physique, with Qi and blood like a Dragon, directly immune to all evil. The Origin Law of the Great Luo Sword Embryo in his hand intertwined and surged, erupting with unparalleled, peerless sword light, annihilating all the Ten Thousand Ghost Dao Soldiers before him.

“This sword is probably no weaker than the Ten Thousand Ghost Blood Pool!”

Nether Fiend True Lord looked at the Sword Embryo in Lu Changsheng’s hand with great envy, knowing it was a top-tier supreme treasure.

He formed hand seals, and the Ten Thousand Ghost Blood Pool made a ‘whoosh-whoosh-whoosh’ sound, with surging blood water pouring towards Lu Changsheng, aiming to defile the Sword Embryo in his hand!

His blood pool could not only defile other people’s Magic Treasures, but once defiled, by erasing the Magic Treasure’s imprint, he could even attempt to seize it.

“It seems I can’t avoid a few rounds of fighting!”

Lu Changsheng knew that if he didn’t use his full power, it would be difficult to cease the battle and retreat.

“Boom boom boom!”

His quasi-Fourth-Order physique fully recovered, unleashing an extremely domineering Qi.

Lei Gang Dragon Flame and Evil-warding Golden Lightning appeared, like two flood Dragons intertwined, striking the surging blood water with the Brahma Demon True Body, creating a pungent, foul-smelling blood water.

Lu Changsheng and the Golden Winged Roc took the Opportunity to charge towards Nether Fiend True Lord.

No matter how powerful the opponent’s Ten Thousand Ghost Blood Pool was, he had only broken through to Nascent Soul a little over ten years ago!

“Not good!”

Nether Fiend True Lord saw Lu Changsheng suddenly charge towards him and immediately realized something was amiss. He channeled the Dao Soldier Qi of the Ten Thousand Ghost Blood Pool into himself, his Mana surging. A dark red bone sword wrapped with countless Yin souls appeared in his hand.

“Clang!”

The Great Luo Sword Embryo cleaved down, its brilliant sword light like a celestial sun, illuminating past and present.

Although Lu Changsheng’s Nine Treasures Wishful Bone was not pushed to its limit, the full power of the Great Luo Sword Embryo and his quasi-Fourth-Order physique directly caused Nether Fiend True Lord’s bone sword to tremble, and a crack appeared in his spatial domain barrier.

“Break!”

In a moment of crisis, Nether Fiend True Lord burned his Mana Origin and spat out a mouthful of essence blood. The bone sword in his hand erupted with boundless sanguine light.

“Screech!”

The Golden Winged Roc let out a long cry, and countless golden divine feathers covered the sky and earth, neatly arranged like a hundred and eight thousand peerless divine swords, exhaling intensely hot, peerless killing intent, charging towards Nether Fiend True Lord.

Lu Changsheng also activated a Fourth-Order Talisman from his sleeve, intending to directly kill Nether Fiend True Lord.

Fourth-Order Attack Talisman—Poison Dragon Talisman!

“Roar!”

A gigantic poisonous mist flood Dragon appeared, roaring as if to drown Nether Fiend True Lord.

However, at this moment, the Ten Thousand Ghost Blood Pool in the sky stirred up endless bloody storms, falling onto Nether Fiend True Lord’s head, enveloping his body, and neutralizing the Fourth-Order Poison Dragon Talisman and the hundred and eight thousand feathers.

At the same time, the bloody storm and the overwhelming Ten Thousand Ghost Dao Soldiers formed an all-encompassing collision of essence, Qi, and spirit, like a surging torrent pressing down on Lu Changsheng.

The Brahma Demon True Body behind Lu Changsheng roared, its six arms like divine drums, shattering the bloody storm, Yin soldiers, and ghost generals.

But the Ten Thousand Ghost Blood Pool’s blood mist billowed, forming an endless stream of Ten Thousand Ghost Dao Soldiers.

And under the shroud of the Ten Thousand Ghost Blood Pool’s boundless sanguine light, Lu Changsheng could no longer break through Nether Fiend True Lord’s barrier in the slightest.

“Damn it, this thing is also a turtle shell!”

Lu Changsheng realized that the Ten Thousand Ghost Blood Pool was both offensive and defensive. Unless he broke through the defense of this supreme treasure, or exhausted the blood pool’s Origin, he couldn’t kill Nether Fiend True Lord.

“Nascent Soul cultivator, nothing more than this. If not for relying on the power of your supreme treasure, I would have slain you with one sword today.”

Lu Changsheng scoffed disdainfully, not continuing to entangle with him, and swiftly departed with the Golden Winged Roc.

Nether Fiend True Lord’s slightly pale face instantly turned as ugly as a pig’s liver. He hadn’t expected to be mocked by a Core Formation cultivator.

Relying on the power of a supreme treasure?

As if you aren’t doing the same!

If you’re so capable, then don’t use them!

But as a dignified Nascent Soul True Lord, he couldn’t engage in a shouting match with Lu Changsheng here.

Moreover, Lu Changsheng had already ridden away on the Golden Winged Roc.

“I absolutely cannot let this person leave the Han Sha Illusion Domain alive!”

Nether Fiend True Lord watched Lu Changsheng depart, his face flickering between dark and light, then he gritted his teeth fiercely. He then controlled the Ten Thousand Ghost Blood Pool to pursue Lu Changsheng, activating the token in his embrace to call for reinforcements.

Previously, he had coveted Lu Changsheng’s Opportunities and Magic Treasures, so he hadn’t called anyone to join him.

Now, seeing Lu Changsheng’s true strength, he knew that if the other party broke through to Nascent Soul, he would undoubtedly die!

Even with the Ten Thousand Ghost Blood Pool, a supreme treasure, he would absolutely not be an opponent!

Therefore, he had to eliminate Lu Changsheng now.
