Chapter 393 New Secret Realm
However, Xu Nian, despite being in such a perilous situation, remained standing still, her posture as steady as a mountain, without even blinking. Seeing this, Wu Qinghuan grew increasingly anxious and hurriedly called out, "Xu Nian!" But no matter how she called, Xu Nian remained as still as a statue.
At this moment, the blood-red giant claw, brimming with boundless killing intent, had already rushed towards Xu Nian with lightning speed, about to tear him to shreds. Just at this critical juncture, Xu Nian, who had remained motionless until now, finally made a move. He slowly raised a finger; the movement appeared slow, but in reality, it was incredibly fast.
At the same time, a dazzling golden light suddenly burst forth from his fingertips. This golden light, like a blazing sun, instantly dispelled the darkness and illuminated the entire dim underground space. Xu Nian looked expressionlessly at the oncoming crimson giant claw, a slight smile of disdain on his lips, and said indifferently, "A mere trick."
In an instant, a dazzling golden light burst forth, like a blazing sun suddenly rising, instantly illuminating the entire dark and gloomy underground space. This extremely bright light seemed to devour everything within it, making it impossible to look directly at it.
Caught off guard, the Blood Demon Daoist was suddenly engulfed by an intense golden light. The light was like countless sharp needles piercing his eyes, causing an unbearable stinging sensation.
At the same time, an immense power, so powerful it filled him with despair, was emanating steadily from that seemingly ordinary, inconspicuous finger in front of him. Before he could react, a deafening roar erupted—"Boom!"
With a deafening roar, the blood-red giant claw that had been charging menacingly towards Xu Nian suddenly shattered without warning less than an inch away! The immense impact caused the shattered claws to turn into a rain of blood, scattering across the ground and staining it crimson.
"Wh...what?!" The Blood Demon Daoist's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief and utter terror. He simply couldn't believe what he was witnessing—his prized Immortal-Slaying Blood Claw was a terrifying killing move that even experts at the fourth level of the Dao Integration Realm would fear and dare not easily take head-on! Yet now, it had been so easily broken by an unknown brat? How could this be!
Just then, to everyone's surprise, a faint golden light emanated from Xu Nian's body. Upon closer inspection, they saw an ancient-looking breastplate quietly appear on his chest. Although the breastplate was simple in design, it was intricately engraved with mysterious and ancient runes. These runes shimmered with a faint yet unsettling light, clearly indicating that it was no ordinary item.
"A...a defensive magic weapon?!" The Blood Demon Daoist gasped as he stared at the Heart-Protecting Mirror. He inwardly groaned, never expecting that this seemingly young lad would possess such a powerful treasure.
"Who...who are you?" The Blood Demon Daoist's eyes widened, his face filled with terror, his voice trembling like a candle flickering in the wind. At this moment, his heart was filled with fear and doubt, and the powerful aura emanating from the mysterious figure before him made him feel an unprecedented sense of oppression.
"The one who will kill you." Xu Nian repeated his words coldly, his face expressionless. He slowly raised his right hand and grasped the longsword that gleamed with dazzling golden light. With the movement of his arm, the light on the sword grew even stronger, like a golden sun hanging in the sky, radiating a terrifying and suffocating pressure.
"One sword is enough." Xu Nian remained calm, but those four simple words seemed to contain boundless power and confidence. As soon as he finished speaking, he roared, "Slash!"
In an instant, a dazzling golden sword light shot into the sky, like the first ray of sunlight tearing through the night at dawn, instantly illuminating the entire dark underground space. The speed of this sword light was beyond imagination, like lightning streaking across the sky, as swift and fierce as a sudden storm, tearing a crack in the air wherever it went.
The Blood Demon Daoist felt a blur before his eyes, and before he could react, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in both arms. Immediately afterward, two crisp sounds of bones breaking rang out. "Ah!" Accompanied by an extremely shrill scream, the Blood Demon Daoist's arms were severed at the shoulder! Crimson blood gushed from the wounds like a fountain, splashing into the blood pool below, making the already crimson water even more shockingly stained.
"How...how is this possible?!" The Blood Demon Daoist stared in disbelief at his empty shoulders and the blood-spurting severed arms. He was a powerful expert at the third level of the Dao Integration Realm! He was considered one of the top experts on this continent, yet now his arms had been easily severed by a single sword strike! This enormous disparity was simply unacceptable to him.
At this critical moment, the dense runes surrounding the previously calm blood pool suddenly seemed to ignite, flashing with an eerie and dazzling light. In an instant, the entire space was enveloped by this mysterious power, sending chills down everyone's spine.
"Not good! It's the Blood Demon Formation!" The Blood Demon Daoist's face turned deathly pale instantly, and he cried out in alarm. However, it was all too late. In the blink of an eye, Wu Qinghuan swung his gleaming longsword without hesitation, and a sharp and incomparable sword aura shot out like lightning, slashing directly at the runes surrounding the blood pool.
A crisp, resounding "Break!" echoed, seemingly shaking the entire world. Immediately afterward, the once indestructible runes shattered like fragile glass under the terrifying sword energy, turning into countless tiny fragments that scattered in all directions.
As the runes shattered, the Blood Demon Array, which had always exuded an evil aura, also collapsed. With a muffled thud, the Blood Demon Daoist, having lost both arms, could no longer support himself and collapsed to his knees like a limp rag doll. His eyes were filled with deep fear and despair, as if he could see death drawing ever closer.
"It's finally over." Xu Nian walked slowly to the Blood Demon Daoist with a blank expression, looking down at the once arrogant demon. The Blood Demon Daoist wanted to say something, but swallowed his words.
Xu Nian didn't give him any chance, raising her foot and stomping down hard. A chilling sound of bones breaking rang out, and the Blood Demon Daoist's body trembled violently before falling silent, collapsing to the ground, motionless.
In the blood-soaked pool, filled with the stench of blood, the hideous corpse of the Blood Demon Daoist slowly sank to the bottom. Wu Qinghuan expressionlessly sheathed the gleaming sword in his hand, then quickly swept his cold gaze across the surroundings.
"Let's go." Xu Nian said softly, standing to the side. His voice was as calm as a still pond, as if killing a powerful Dao Integration Level 3 expert was just a trivial matter that could not excite or thrill him in the slightest.
Wu Qinghuan nodded slightly in agreement, then followed closely behind Xu Nian, walking steadily out of the dark and damp underground space. They continued on their way, the path beneath their feet rugged and uneven, but neither of them paused or hesitated in the slightest.
As they ventured deeper, the mysterious and peculiar resonance grew stronger. Suddenly, Xu Nian, who had been silently and steadily advancing, stopped without warning. His brow furrowed slightly, his eyes closed, and he intently sensed the strange energy fluctuations around him. This energy was like an ancient and mysterious song, constantly calling to him, drawing him to some unknown place.
"What's wrong?" Wu Qinghuan, who was following closely behind, couldn't help but ask when she saw this.
“The response has become even stronger.” Xu Nian opened her eyes, raised her hand, and pointed towards the depths of the Netherworld Valley, her tone still as calm as water.
Following the direction Xu Nian pointed, Wu Qinghuan suddenly realized, "Could there be a hidden realm here?"
“Let’s go take a look,” Xu Nian replied simply. Before he finished speaking, his figure flashed past like a ghost and vanished instantly. Wu Qinghuan dared not delay for a moment and immediately used his movement technique to follow closely behind. In the blink of an eye, the two figures completely merged into the dark and deep valley and disappeared without a trace.
Deep within the Netherworld Valley, a mysterious and hidden realm lies quietly concealed within the mountain. Accompanied by a deep rumble, the gate to this secret realm, sealed by the dust of time, slowly opens, as if unveiling a veil of mystery.
At the entrance to the secret realm, countless colorful hydrangeas danced in the air like snowflakes, light and ethereal, dreamlike and enchanting, as if one were in a fairyland. However, behind this breathtaking scene lurked endless killing intent and danger.
Xu Nian and Wu Qinghuan cautiously stepped into this secret realm. When the scene before them came into view, a chill ran through them. The ground was littered with the ghosts of children, drifting silently in the air, occasionally letting out extremely mournful cries that were like sobs and pierced the heart.
On the ground, intricate and complex rune patterns were meticulously carved. These runes shimmered with an eerie light, emanating a chilling and unsettling aura. Wu Qinghuan stared at the runes on the ground, her expression slightly changing, and murmured to herself, "This is..."
Xu Nian, with his sharp eyes, saw through the mystery with just a glance. He said in a deep voice, "This is due to the cultivation technique of the Valley Master of the Netherworld Valley. Such an evil technique requires the souls of innocent children as sacrifices to be mastered." Before he finished speaking, Wu Qinghuan was already furious and cursed, "He's an utterly heartless beast! Such a cruel and vicious method is intolerable!"
At that very moment, the previously peaceful atmosphere was shattered. The resentment of countless children surged together like a raging tide, intertwining and merging to gradually form a massive, sky-covering black vortex. The vortex seemed to possess the power to devour everything, spinning continuously and emanating a chilling aura.
At the very center of this black vortex, a hideous and terrifying demon slowly emerged. This demon stood a hundred feet tall, like a towering mountain, exuding an insurmountable sense of oppression. It emanated a dense, terrifying demonic aura, as thick as ink, staining the surrounding air black. Its blood-red eyes burned like flames, filled with endless resentment and intense killing intent, sending chills down the spine of anyone who looked at it.
"Peak of the Dao Integration Realm..." Xu Nian narrowed his eyes slightly, secretly shocked. The powerful strength displayed by this ferocious demon had actually reached the peak of the Dao Integration Realm! Such a terrifying existence was truly rare even in the entire cultivation world.
Suddenly, the ferocious demon opened its blood-red maw and let out a deafening, earth-shattering roar. This roar was like ten thousand thunderclaps resounding through the sky, and its sound waves transformed into a tangible shockwave, sweeping towards everyone with overwhelming force.
"Watch out!" Xu Nian shouted a warning as soon as he saw it. At the same time, he quickly raised his wrist, and the bracelet he was wearing suddenly shone brightly, dazzling and dazzling, instantly forming an indestructible transparent barrier that forcefully blocked the oncoming sonic attack.
"This fiend is formed from the resentment of countless children; the depth of its resentment is beyond imagination. It will likely be difficult to deal with," Xu Nian said gravely. However, Wu Qinghuan, standing to the side, showed no fear. She gripped her longsword tightly, her beautiful eyes gleaming with fierce fighting spirit. At that moment, the longsword emitted a low, resonant hum, as if it could no longer suppress its thirst for blood and was eager to plunge into battle.
"What are you afraid of? Just destroy it!" Wu Qinghuan shouted, her fighting spirit soaring. She flashed forward like lightning, rushing towards the ferocious demon, her long sword wielded with fierce power, bringing with it bursts of sharp sword energy.
Seeing her junior sister take a step forward, Xu Nian also flew up.
Soar into the air.
The demons in this secret realm were something he hadn't expected.
I never expected there would be something like this here!
