Chapter 229: Chapter 229: The Ancient Demon King (Part 2)
When Liao Xiaojin first cultivated these thirteen blood gods in the human world, they were just faint blood shadows. But after reaching the earthly immortal world, forty years later, Liao Xiaojin had been practicing in seclusion almost all the time, and the blood gods were also nurturing them with their own blood essence in his body.
The blood of the great witch Chi You in Liao Xiaojin's body is extraordinary. After forty years of absorption, the thirteen blood gods have evolved to an incredible level, almost reaching the highest level of the blood demon without form recorded on the blood nerve.
In the blood river of the netherworld of hell, the evil spirit of the three realms is extremely filthy. For countless years and generations, a piece of dirty blood in it actually developed consciousness, cultivated into a spirit, wandered around, and created such a unique cultivation method. Later, no one knew where the blood demon ran away. This blood nerve was hidden in hell and was accidentally obtained by the bull-headed Yin God. Before he had time to cultivate, he was beaten to death by Zhou Qing with a divine whip, which was a bargain for Liao Xiaojin.
Seeing that Liao Xiaojin's sword and knife were not hurt, the Heavenly Snake King did not know what kind of monster he was. He knew that he could not win, so he wanted to retreat into the formation and let the two armies fight.
Liao Xiaojin had 800,000 demon soldiers, and the Heavenly Snake King had no less, and 200,000 more, a total of one million. The two armies fought in the sky, and the mountain gods and land gods below were so scared that they hid in the underworld and dared not come out. Such wars often happen, and even the Heavenly Court cannot control them, and they are too lazy to care.
The demon soldiers under the Heavenly Snake King are all well-armored, with shining swords and spears. Most of them are monsters who have returned to the void. Among the 800,000 demon soldiers under Liao Xiaojin, only 200,000 have reached the realm of returning to the void. The rest are all monsters who have transformed into spirits, and there are even those in the late stage of Qi Induction. They hold gray flying swords and wave flags and shout at the back. They are purely here to make up the numbers and are not even cannon fodder.
Although they had conquered a million miles of territory and collected countless refining materials, the time was still short. It would take time to refine some magic weapons, flying swords, armor and weapons. The more than 20,000 disciples of the Tiandao Sect were somewhat lacking, not to mention these monsters.
In addition to these 800,000 monster soldiers, there were 100,000 monsters who worked as coolies to mine minerals, busy and happy on the veins in the mountains.
A bloody light dyed the sky almost red, and the nauseating bloody smell rushed out. The thirteen tall blood gods were like demons from hell. They were no longer faint blood shadows, but the same body with a pair of blood horns on their heads. The shape was terrifying, and it was somewhat similar to the shape of Liao Xiaojin after he changed into Chiyou's true body.
These days, Liao Xiaojin conquered the east and the west, flattened and conquered hundreds of mountains, among which there were many monsters and cultivators who refused to obey. They were fed blood gods one by one. The thirteen blood gods became more and more ferocious, killing people invisibly.
The Sky Snake King felt a violent and bloody smell coming from behind him, knowing that it was not good, and his speed increased a bit, but the Blood God Son was faster, and the moment he was released, he was behind the Sky Snake King.
As long as the Blood God Son passed through his body, even the gods and Buddhas could not escape his poisonous hands.
"It's unreasonable to cultivate!" Seeing that the Sky Snake King was defeated and fled to the formation, several subordinates hurriedly responded, flew out, one by one, released magic weapons, and entangled thirteen Blood God Sons.
A white python demon king was a monster that had survived the eight great heavenly tribulations. He transformed into a tall white-faced man, who was only one step away from achieving the way of demon immortals. He took the lead and blocked the Sky Snake King. He opened his mouth and spit out two white lights from his mouth. He circled on the spot and cut the chasing Blood God Son into two pieces.
"Such a rubbish incarnation is released to embarrass me!" The two white lights are the arrows on the tip of the tongue of the white python. It is very powerful and can't help but feel proud after beheading the Blood God Son.
"Be careful!" The voice of the Heavenly Snake King came from behind. The white python's mind tightened. He looked carefully and saw that the Blood God Son, which he had cut into two pieces, was actually split into two. The ferocious power did not decrease and rushed over again.
The white light strangled the Blood God Son repeatedly. The body of the Blood God Son seemed very fragile and would fall apart if killed, but it could not be killed. Killing one turned into two, killing two turned into four. The white python cut the Blood God Son into hundreds of pieces, which turned into hundreds of blood shadows of the same appearance. In the end, the sky was full of blood shadows, and there were hundreds of them.
Puff! The white python failed to defend and was pounced on by one of the blood shadows. The blood shadows passed through the white python and the python immediately lost consciousness. It was revealed to be a thick one-horned python. Only an empty white snake skin was left. The flesh, soul, and essence inside seemed to have disappeared. It was swallowed by the Blood God.
The complete white python skin, clothes, armor, and weapons floated down.
Only the extremely pure Taoism and Buddhism's auspicious magic spells could protect themselves from being penetrated by the Blood God. The white python was a demon. There were spells on the clothes and armor, but it was also a sinister one. How could it resist the highest magic in the magic?
Puff! Puff! Puff! There were only sounds, and the blood shadows in the sky were collected, and they still turned into thirteen tall blood gods, but there were more than a dozen sets of armor and weapons and empty shells of animals below. In just a few breaths, the demon kings under the Heavenly Snake King lost more than a dozen.
The Heavenly Snake King was shocked to see the Blood God Son rushing over again. With the lesson just now, he did not dare to use swords and weapons to cut him. He knew that this thing could only be restrained by pure Yang magic weapons. The Heavenly Snake King retreated back to the formation, took out a magic weapon, looked up to the sky and offered it, and a fire net covered the Blood God Son who rushed over.
This Qiantian Lieyang Net was collected from Qiantian Zhen Gang, mixed with the sun's true fire to refine it, and the extreme Yang Gang was exactly the guest star of the Blood God Son. The thirteen Blood God Sons rushed left and right in the net. Every time they touched the net body, a ball of crystal light burst out, mixed with Qiantian Zhenhuo, and bounced the Blood God Son back.
The Blood God Son was full of Yin Qi and was not afraid of the fire net. The endless impact caused the Qiantian Lieyang Net to explode repeatedly. The violent movement of the formation made the Heavenly Snake King anxious.
According to this situation, it would not be long before the Blood God Son broke out of the net. The Heavenly Snake King raised his spear and issued an order. Millions of demon soldiers changed their formations and rushed towards Liao Xiaojin.
Before the Blood God Son rushed out, Liao Xiaojin would be dealt with first. Once the master died, any magic spells and magic weapons would lose their effect. The Heavenly Snake King was very confident that he could deal with the opponent because of the strong military force on his side.
"Junior sister, it's your turn!"
Liao Xiaojin stepped back, and a girl dressed as a Taoist nun appeared behind him, riding a white bear. It was Zhou Chen. Seeing the demon soldiers rolling in from the opposite side, Zhou Chen was not afraid at all. He stretched out his hand to take out a three-inch-sized, delicate and small banana leaf, shook it, and it was three feet in size. He offered it in the air and shouted, "Senior brother, help me!"
Liao Xiaojin nodded and put his palm on Zhou Chen's back.
Boom! The endless true energy and magic power all blasted into Zhou Chen's body. Zhou Chen quickly transferred it to the banana fan. He heard a few more crackling sounds, and the three-foot-sized banana fan grew a thousand times larger. The three-thousand-foot fan body was shining brightly, and the necklace was hanging down. Zhou Chen looked up at the sky and fanned it, and a gust of cold wind blew on the ground.
This gloomy wind was really amazing. It was dark and desolate, and it moved the mountains and rivers. It blew down the rivers. All you could hear was the strange whistling sound. The overwhelming tornado tore the space apart, crushing the five elements along the way, and all of them melted into the gloomy wind.
Countless demon soldiers rushed over and were blown to pieces by the gloomy wind. The tens of thousands of troops in the front immediately didn't know where they were blown to, and they didn't know whether they were dead or alive. Fortunately, the Sky Snake King's men were well-trained and immediately formed formations. The magic power was connected and the waves were connected to withstand the gloomy wind. Zhou Chen got the support of Liao Xiaojin and fanned the gloomy wind again and again, and the gloomy wind blocked the demon soldiers and prevented them from moving forward.
Whoosh! Liao Xiaojin actually gasped and said with difficulty: "Junior sister, I am truly one man against a million. This banana fan consumes too much mana, and I can't support it."
The banana fan is a leaf of Taiyin at the beginning of the world. The greater the mana, the greater the power. It is not like other magic weapons that have a limit. After reaching the limit, no matter how much mana you input, it will be in vain. This is also the difference between upper-level magic weapons and lower-level magic weapons.
Zhou Chen rolled his eyes at him and said, "Brother, you thought you were invincible just because you became a great wizard. The Maitreya Buddha that you bet with Master can kill ten of you with one slap, but you insisted on coming up with this plan. Now you've done something wrong."
"Hehe, no way! Your brother would never miscalculate."
Liao Xiaojin laughed twice, and then heard a loud bang from the demon soldiers in the distance. The thirteen blood gods finally broke through the Qiantian Lieyang Net, with blood shadows swaying and the sky red. Then they started killing people in the back, causing chaos behind the demon soldiers.
The Qiantian Lieyang Net is the pure Yang Qi, and the Banana Fan is the Taiyin Leaf. When the Yin wind blows, the pure Yin Qi is strong, and with the Blood God Son's internal bombardment, the two are immediately broken. Thousands of blood shadows are flying in the sky, harvesting the lives of countless demon soldiers in an instant. Every time a demon soldier is sucked out, there is one more blood shadow, just like a rolling blood ball, these blood shadows are getting more and more, and more and more powerful.
For every point of the Blood God Son's power, he can differentiate one more blood shadow. With Liao Xiaojin's power, he can only differentiate hundreds of blood shadows at the beginning. Now that he has been greatly supplemented, the number of blood shadows has increased to thousands.
The demon soldiers of the Heavenly Snake King were in great chaos, and Liao Xiaojin could hardly support them. He quickly asked Zhou Chen to put away the banana fan and commanded Du Long and other 20 to 30 demon kings to lead their elite demon soldiers to charge forward. The opponent's formation was in chaos. Although Liao Xiaojin only had 200,000 demon soldiers of the Return to Void Dao, he was powerful and not at all chaotic. He was unstoppable and dispersed the millions of demon soldiers in an instant, killing them in pieces. The Heavenly Snake King saw that the situation was not good, but he was not in chaos and quickly ordered a retreat.
Liao Xiaojin chased all the way, and the Heavenly Snake King led the remaining soldiers to escape into the Shepan Mountain. He immediately activated the forbidden method to block the pursuers and make adjustments.
Liao Xiaojin was afraid that the opponent would stabilize the position and kill the generals back, so he relied on his own troops, but he could not resist and quickly retreated.
In this battle, nearly 100,000 enemy demon soldiers were killed, 50,000 were captured and subdued, nearly 100,000 sets of armor and 100,000 magic weapons were seized, and the harvest was huge. However, the enemy did not damage its foundation, but only hurt its vitality. Liao Xiaojin also had to make adjustments. Both sides had their concerns and kept their troops in place, waiting for the opportunity. The Heavenly Snake King secretly sent people to Wudang Mountain for help. The situation was vaguely like a storm was coming.
Inside the Jade Pillar Immortal Mansion, Liao Xiaojin said to Wen Lanxin: "Big sister! We have made a fortune this time, but it's a pity that the master is not here. Otherwise, we can take this opportunity to set up the Dutian God Array and refine the Snake Mountain in one fell swoop. We can take all the 3,700 hills near the two world passes into our pockets."
"Well, our situation is not good now. We are caught in the middle. There are many demon kings in the southern Zhanbuzhou from the Snake Mountain in the south and the Buddhist sect in the northern Lujuzhou in the north. The Maitreya Buddha lost the bet with the master. I am afraid that he will use the chariot. If we are not careful, our foundation will be destroyed and we will have to develop in the human world again." Wen Lanxin saw the situation clearly and was very pessimistic.
The others nodded one after another. Liao Xiaojin was about to speak when he was suddenly shocked and a mysterious message came into his mind.
"Not good, the master is trapped in the North Sea Hell!" Liao Xiaojin shouted, without any prestige of leading troops to fight just now.
It turned out that Zhou Qing was trapped in the bronze bell. Knowing that he could not escape, he communicated with Liao Xiaojin through telepathy.
This matter was very serious. Wen Lanxin immediately told Yunxia, and Yunxia hurriedly asked Liao Xiaojin.
Liao Xiaojin said: "Master said that he is fine for the time being and will be out of trouble soon. This time he was ambushed and wanted to teach the Great Sage Fu Hai a lesson forever. He told us to keep calm and inform Princess Ao Luan of the South Sea to unite with the Dragon King of the North Sea. When the time comes, we will work together inside and outside to break through the North Sea Hell in one fell swoop and kill the Jiao Demon King."
"Also, Master told us not to leak the news and not to alarm the Heavenly Court. It would be bad if we alarmed the other Great Sages of the Demon Clan." Liao Xiaojin said again.
"Well, that's how it is!" Yunxia nodded and said, "It will take several days and nights to go to the South Sea, not to mention the North Sea. I'm afraid it will take more than a month. Well... Lan Shen, you are fast, go to the South Sea to invite the princess, don't delay, set off immediately."
Lan Shen nodded beside him and said, "I understand!" His figure flashed and he went directly into the void and disappeared.
"Xiao Jin, you must be careful, I'm afraid Shepan Mountain will come to retaliate." Yunxia knew that Zhou Qing had his own ideas, but she was not worried, so she talked about the situation here.
"Master's wife, don't worry about this. Junior brother is already a great witch, immortal, and junior sister has the banana fan you gave me. I also have the seven treasures tree given by Master. The rest of the junior brothers and sisters have magic weapons, and they are not afraid of ordinary people." Wen Lanxin said this, but he was still a little uneasy in his heart.
At that time, Liao Xiaojin stepped up the training of the demon soldiers, and the disciples of Tiandao Sect practiced day and night to guard against the enemy's invasion.
"Master Zhou, you are really a stone in the toilet, smelly and hard, I really can't do anything to you."
The Jiao Demon King had been talking outside for a whole day, threatening and tempting. After all the good and bad words were said, Zhou Qing just laughed strangely, spoke sharply and harshly, and didn't care. The Jiao Demon King was furious and activated the forbidden method of the bronze bell again.
Flames, thunderbolts, lightning dragons, wind blades, turbid currents, black smoke, and latent power appeared in the bell again, twice as fierce as before. Zhou Qing sat in the bell, but he didn't know, sneered, and kept mocking the Jiao Demon King.
Although the Jiao Demon King threatened Zhou Qing to deal with his disciples, he didn't dare to leak the news. Zhou Qing was named the Great Emperor Gou Chen by the original Tianzun's talisman, and the three realms recognized him. If it was spread out, I'm afraid that within three days, the heavenly soldiers and generals would come to the door. Although the Jiao Demon King was not afraid, it was very troublesome.
"Long Tian, how many naval forces do we have in the North Sea Hell?" The Jiao Demon King was annoyed by Zhou Qing and was bored with his words. He turned back to the Water Palace and called his confidants, the two ancient dragon whales, to ask.
The two ancient dragon whales were eight feet tall, just like ordinary people. One was called Long Tian and the other was called Long Di. They were the names given to them by the Jiao Demon King when he first came to the Earthly Immortal Realm after he subdued them with a bronze bell.
The ancient dragon whales lived in the sea tens of thousands of feet deep. They were huge and boundless. When their bodies were spread out, they were thousands of miles long. When they opened their mouths, they would swallow thousands of tons of fish. They were the overlords of the sea. It took so much effort and years to refine sincerity and benevolence in such a huge body. If there was no Jiao Demon King's guidance, these two dragon whales living in the North Sea Hell would hardly be able to transform into human bodies and achieve immortality even after another 100,000 years.
Similarly, after achieving immortality, the ancient dragon whale is much more powerful than ordinary monsters due to its physical constitution. It is extremely powerful and has boundless magical powers. It is the right-hand man of the Jiao Demon King and his main general.
These two dragon whales are a male and a female. The incarnation Chengren is also a man and a woman. The woman is charming and graceful. No one would have expected that such a delicate woman has almost terrifying magical powers.
"My king, our North Sea Hell has a radius of tens of thousands of miles. There are three to four million people stationed near the Water Palace, of which 1.9 million have achieved immortal status, and there are 5 million stationed outside. In total, the king has nearly 10 million navy troops under his command. They are led by the king's 108 princes." Long Tian said.
"Well, you ask Qing Jiao to prepare some gifts. By the way, take my Demon King Sword with you and go to Jilei Mountain. Ask Niu Mowang to secretly attack Heifeng Mountain and capture the Taoist's disciples. Humph, as long as the Taoist doesn't agree, I will kill one of his disciples every day."
The Jiao Mowang calculated for a while and finally made up his mind.
"My king, you even want to give the Demon King Sword to Pingtian Dasheng?" Long Tian asked in surprise.
"Hmph, as long as I get the twelve witch ancestors, the Demon King Sword is nothing. Go tell Qing Jiao that if this matter is done, I will ask him to lead 500,000 naval demons."
The Demon King Jiao waved his hand, drove his men away, and then pondered and calculated.
"We have to think of a way to get out." Zhou Qing sat in the bell, using his wisdom eyes to see through the turbulent earth, fire, water, wind, thunder and lightning outside, and directly saw that on the bronze bell, there were still ancient demon texts, Donghuang Taiyi and the ancient demon tribe ministers sitting down, carved vividly.
Zhou Qing urged the black smoke magic fire of the Pluto flag, which rotated rapidly and swelled, forcing the flames, thunder, lightning dragons, wind blades, turbid currents, black smoke, and latent forces outside to retreat several feet.
Unwilling to be trapped, Zhou Qing seemed to fight back, and the power of the twelve gods and demons was activated, which was not inferior to the magic weapon of the leader level. It was also refined by Zhou Qing himself, making it more comfortable to use.
But the bronze bell was the magic weapon of Donghuang Taiyi back then. Zhou Qing exerted his strength and although he forced back the forbidden spell, the more he advanced, the greater the blocking force. Zhou Qing expanded the black smoke magic fire by several feet. The twelve ancestor witch clones were floating in the magic fire, roaring continuously, retreating and advancing, and actually engaged in a tug-of-war.
This is something from the ancient demon world. Zhou Qing recalled the records of the Gou Chen Heavenly Book again, but one was the demon saint after the Conferred God, and the other was the demon world in the prehistoric times. They were completely unrelated and there was no clue.
"Well, why not ask Liao Xiaojin to call Ao Luan to help me, and then notify the Heavenly Court. Although it is a bit embarrassing, it is worse than being trapped here. Ao Luan's Juexian Sword, plus my Dutian Shensha, can definitely break this Laozi bronze bell with internal and external attacks." Zhou Qing thought to himself that he had to find someone to rescue him.
Using the magical power of Heavenly Dao Change, he secretly sensed Liao Xiaojin's Great Witch bloodline, but he didn't know that this bronze bell was integrated and blocked everything. Not only divine thoughts, but also bloodline sensing were powerless. When the Jiao Demon King was here just now, he could still send messages. Now that he left and closed the ban, Zhou Qing completely lost contact with the outside world.
"This thing's attack is not very good, why is it so perverted." Zhou Qing couldn't help but secretly complain, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, but his efforts in cultivating his mind and surname were to the extreme. He even endured the ten-year magic fire to refine his soul, and immediately calmed down.
He sent out divine thoughts and searched the inner wall of the entire bronze bell inch by inch. Zhou Qing was an expert in refining magic tools. He hoped to find the refining structure of the bell to see if there were any weak links, so that he could concentrate his strength and bombard it with all his strength, and maybe he could break it in one fell swoop.
Inch by inch, Zhou Qing checked the inner wall of the entire bronze bell. The entire bronze bell was seamless and had no loopholes. Zhou Qing could not detect any forbidden formations, as if it was an ordinary item, but it emitted water, fire, wind and thunder.
After a long time of investigation, Zhou Qing had to sigh at the means of the demon emperor Donghuang Taiyi. With his own strength, he really couldn't see any clues.
Although he couldn't find any flaws, Zhou Qing also found it.
"Huh? What is that?"
His divine thoughts swept through the inner wall, and Zhou Qing gradually saw that there was a small copper ring on the top of the copper seed, as if something was hanging, but now it was empty. The entire bronze bell emitted water, fire, wind and thunder, but this copper ring was motionless, as if nothing was emitted.
"I said that although this bell is powerful, its attack is weak. It has not yet blasted me into pieces. It turns out to be a broken piece of stuff. The magic weapon of the ancient demon clan emperor must be a one-shot kill. If it takes half a day to refine every person it captures, how can Donghuang Taiyi fight against the great witch ancestor witch?"
Zhou Qing is an expert. He understood it at a glance and quickly concentrated his strength to bombard the copper ring, but the copper ring still did not move.
"With my immortal body, I will risk enduring several attacks of water, fire, wind and thunder. I will remove the protection of the Hades flag and blast off the copper ring with all my strength. I will surely break this damn bell. But in this way, I am afraid that I will also be seriously injured. If I alarm the Jiao Demon King and use the navy to trap me, I will die. This is his lair. It's not right."
Zhou Qing calculated and suddenly had an idea: "Ancient demon text? The copper ring hangs something? I seem to have an impression of it?"
After squinting his eyes and thinking for a long time, Zhou Qing opened his mouth and spit out a dark blue Dharma wheel from his mouth. With a slight shake, it made a ding-dong sound. It was also covered with dense ancient demon characters.
Zhou Qing got this Dharma wheel, but he never figured out what kind of magic weapon it was. He only knew it belonged to the Taoist Zhunti. He didn't know how he got information from it and learned the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art. Later, when fighting for the Immortal Mansion, the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree rushed out of it, and Zhou Qing realized that the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art was leaked by the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree. He threw this Dharma wheel aside, and later he learned the ancient demon text, and understood the loopholes of the Eight-Nine Mysterious Art and corrected it. Zhou Qing forgot about this Dharma wheel even more.
After carefully reading the ancient demon text on it, Zhou Qing laughed out loud after an hour: "Master Zhunti, I owe you a favor. Although you have made a subtle calculation, you didn't expect to help me so much, hehe, hehe."
Sitting upright, Zhou Qing suspended the Dharma Wheel in the air, his soul came out, and he used all his magic power, changed it, and rushed into the Dharma Wheel. The Dharma Wheel was spinning non-stop, and the demon text on it flashed and shone brightly. The surrounding water, fire, wind and thunder disappeared instantly as soon as they touched the clear light of the Dharma Wheel, just like boiling soup pouring on snow.
When the demon text on the Dharma Wheel was combined with the text on the inner wall of the bronze bell, Zhou Qing used his soul to watch for a long time, and after careful comprehension, he finally understood the control method of the bronze bell.
Zhou Qing's soul returned to its place, he memorized the formula, threw the wheel up, and hung it on the copper ring. With a click, the ancient demon text and the carved image of Donghuang Taiyi in the bell disappeared completely, showing the sun, moon, stars, Zhoutian Yuanchen, and the twenty-four qi, all rotating rapidly around the wheel, and the sun, moon, and stars were dazzling.
"So powerful, so powerful, now that it is activated, even with my Dutian formation, it can't resist it." Zhou Qing followed the formula, took off the wheel, and hid it again. The copper bell returned to its original appearance, and water, fire, wind, and thunder still rushed over.
"Hehe, hehe! Jiao Demon King, I won't go out first, and I won't cut off your roots. How can I get rid of this bad breath?" Zhou Qing just had an idea and notified Liao Xiaojin.
"But I don't understand one thing? How did Zhunti Taoist get this thing? Did he fish in troubled waters during the battle? He only grabbed half of the magic weapon?"
