Chapter 740 - 822 The Blood Demon Appears, the Soul-Stabilizing Bead’s Might
Every time Chen Mo ran a certain distance, he threw down a red flag, muttering softly to himself. These flags vanished into the void, disappearing from sight.
Feeling the sound of the breaking air behind him, his eyebrows furrowed tightly.
What on earth has this kid obtained?
Yet, within the simulations he conducted, there was no detailed description of this matter.
Dong!
Just as Chen Mo pondered over this, a low and deep explosion suddenly echoed behind him, followed by a sense of vibration spreading from within his body.
"Pfft..."
The sudden internal shock caught Chen Mo off guard, causing his body to shudder abruptly, his face turning pale as a mouthful of blood spurted out, staggering his swift figure.
The explosion just now actually triggered his internal injury.
"Quick, Senior Qiao, he’s losing his strength, don’t let him get away."
"I want to kill him."
"..."
Song Jun frantically transmitted his thoughts to Senior Qiao.
Senior Qiao frowned, but being pressed by the Golden Ring emanating from the Soul-Stabilizing Bead in his Sea of Consciousness, he summoned the Dragon-Devouring Sparrow once again.
"Roar!"
The Dragon-Devouring Sparrow let out an angry roar.
The cyan flames that twined around its body grew even more intense, burning fiercely, and utterly astonishing.
With a flap of its wings, a Cyan Flame Tornado appeared in front of Chen Mo, blocking his escape route.
Bang!
As Chen Mo halted his movement, the Dragon-Devouring Sparrow opened its mouth slightly, a stream of cyan flame shot out, transforming into a cyan beam of light at an indescribable speed, rapidly aiming towards Chen Mo.
Chen Mo flicked his palm, and the Blood Demon Hundred Ghost Banner appeared in his hand, summoning a Nascent Soul Realm ghost soul to block the incoming cyan flame beam. It was the last Nascent Soul Realm ghost soul within the Hundred Ghost Banner.
Flames are the nemesis of sinister beings.
When the cyan flame beam struck the Nascent Soul Realm ghost soul, its figure instantly faded, almost disappearing.
Song Jun noticed Chen Mo took out that Blood Banner.
He used the Soul-Stabilizing Bead again, instantly capturing the faded Nascent Soul Realm ghost soul into it.
Chen Mo’s pupils contracted, feeling his body once again constrained under the golden bead. He hastily activated the Ancient Heavy Pupils to see what this golden bead was.
With just one glance, it felt as if his soul was being drawn into the golden bead, and inside, Chen Mo saw Song Jun in his Soul Body state.
While Chen Mo was puzzled, Song Jun was startled, exclaiming, "You... how can you enter here?"
Chen Mo swept his eyes around, noticing the two Nascent Soul Realm ghost souls taken into the bead earlier were also inside. At that moment, he rediscovered his connection with the two ghost souls.
Just as he intended to command the two Nascent Soul Realm ghost souls to deal with Song Jun inside.
A sudden intense pain struck, pulling his soul back to his physical body from the golden bead, a trace of golden light flickering across his eyes.
Just moments ago, as Chen Mo activated the Ancient Heavy Pupils, his Soul Body entered the Soul-Stabilizing Bead, causing his corporeal body to lose control, and forcibly enduring a claw from the Dragon-Devouring Sparrow.
It smacked him from mid-air straight into the ground.
His body dragged out a trench several zhang long on the ground.
"Pfft!" A mouthful of scarlet blood spewed from his mouth.
"Senior Qiao, kill him!"
Song Jun was so excited he was nearly hysterical.
Seeing Chen Mo’s current wrecked state reminded him of when Chen Mo defeated him, leaving him bedridden for over a month.
Just the thought of it filled him with anger and resentment.
But now, he could finally exact his long-awaited revenge.
The Dragon-Devouring Sparrow lunged towards Chen Mo to finish him off.
"No!"
On Merak Peak, Zhao Fujin, Jiang Ruoqing, Zhao Qianyi, and Xiao Jiu were so frightened their faces turned pale, tears of anxiety welling up in their eyes.
Nangong Xue’s expression changed as well.
Even Zuoqiu Yiren’s heart tensed up instinctively, urging her to intervene.
However, within the Profound Spirit Mirror, no one but the Supreme Elder could interfere.
She was helpless.
Her heart filled with panic.
On Carefree Peak, Long Xiaoyao’s face showed a smile.
After being rejected by the Ice Spirit, he thought he wouldn’t be able to deal with Chen Mo during this grand examination.
Unexpectedly, someone acted on his behalf.
It was like having a pillow delivered when drowsy!
Just when Long Xiaoyao also assumed revenge was at hand.
The entire scene was suddenly shrouded in intense blood-red light.
A gigantic blood-colored array appeared in the forest where Chen Mo stood.
An aura of evil, chill, fear, and death seeped out from the blood-colored array.
A massive blood-colored figure came into everyone’s view.
The colossal blood-colored figure blocked the Dragon-Devouring Sparrow from attacking Chen Mo.
"Blood Demon, that was the Blood Demon Array just now."
"Chen Mo actually summoned a Blood Demon."
"Evil Cultivator, Chen Mo must be an Evil Cultivator, otherwise how could he summon a Blood Demon."
The observing disciples were stunned, their eyes wide open.
Even Long Xiaoyao’s expression paused momentarily.
"What... what is that?" That blood demon was neither human nor demon beast, towering a hundred zhang high, its entire body seemed forged from decayed flesh and thousands of ghost souls, adorned with nearly a hundred eyes, truly terrifying at first glance.
"That is a Blood Demon comparable to the Divinity Transformation Realm..." Senior Qiao was filled with astonishment, as if shocked that such an evil entity could appear within the Shenxiao Sect, which is founded on the Righteous Dao.
"Quick, use the Soul-Stabilizing Bead." Senior Qiao shouted.
Song Jun belatedly activated the Soul-Stabilizing Bead, but this time, it failed to draw in the Blood Demon.
"Senior Qiao, what’s going on?" Song Jun was alarmed.
"Your power is too weak. You can’t use the Soul-Stabilizing Bead to capture a Blood Demon of Divinity Transformation strength, but it can suppress it." Senior Qiao explained.
Indeed, Song Jun noticed the Blood Demon sluggishly moving under the golden ring’s effect.
"Damn, this is so unfair, it’s cheating."
Chen Mo was somewhat in awe; this golden bead was truly overwhelming.
Under the influence of the golden bead, the Blood Demon’s strength was greatly diminished, yet it managed to fend off the Dragon-Devouring Sparrow.
"Senior Qiao, quickly, kill him."
Seeing revenge just within reach, Song Jun was unwilling to relent, his eyes reddening, urging Senior Qiao to take over his body, using Senior Qiao’s soul power to kill Chen Mo.
Now, Senior Qiao hesitated.
She was merely a wisp of residual soul at present, lacking a physical vessel, and every use of soul power reduced her reserves.
This would damage her origin.
Yet, Song Jun disregarded her concerns, insisting she act.
With no choice, as Song Jun controlled the Soul-Stabilizing Bead, a burst of anger from him could annihilate her divine soul in fear.
Taking advantage of the Dragon-Devouring Sparrow entangling the Blood Demon.
Senior Qiao manipulated Song Jun’s body, advancing towards Chen Mo to finish him.
