Chapter 262: Chapter 261: My Name is Qingyou! (Third Update, Please Subscribe)
In the Demon Emperor Hall, the Golden Crow Demon Emperor was filled with murderous intent as he stared at the black-armored youth, wishing he could devour him on the spot.
As for who this youth was, what his name was, and what his background was, he couldn’t be bothered to investigate. He couldn’t be bothered to ask.
A mere Purple Mansion Cultivator, a mere Human Race prodigy, wasn’t worthy of his attention, much like humans wouldn’t pay attention to ants on the ground.
Whether the ants were red or black, big or small, workers, males, or queens, they were all beneath notice.
It was only because he sensed the Life-Blood Seal of Mystic Moon Sword Master that he glanced at this ant.
"If that Human Race cultivator is killed, I shall use his corpse as material to create a blood feast!" In the end, the Golden Crow Demon Emperor issued a command, transmitting the message through the token.
...
On the vast battlefield spanning hundreds of thousands of miles, the beast tide roared, the Demon Race inundating the territories of the Human Race, slaughtering human cultivators, devouring human mortals, and initiating bloody banquets; likewise, the human cultivators, assisted by arrays, magical treasures, and techniques, slaughtered the Demon Race.
On the battlefield, demons and beasts were constantly being slain, and Human Race cultivators were constantly falling, resembling a meat grinder.
Every time a beast tide struck, it would cost the Demon Race half of their population, while the Human Race would lose three-tenths of their populace, and the losses of Foundation Establishment and Purple Mansion cultivators would vary, only when enough mortals and cultivators had died would the beast tide come to an end.
Using the beast tide as a pretext, both sides continually culled their excess population.
The war was an elimination competition, directly eliminating the weak and unlucky cultivators among the Human Race; the Demon Race used the beast tide to purge weak demons and those with inferior potential.
After the crucible of war, the remaining Demon and Human Race cultivators were all elite, whether in combat power, combat technique, or mental realm, they were all top-notch.
Such prodigies had a higher survival rate when challenging the Purple Mansion, or even the Golden Core, and could better ensure that limited resources were invested in the right people.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
On the battlefield, commanded by a Purple Mansion Demon Beast, a large number of demon beasts charged and tore through an array, breaching a Cultivation Immortality Clan.
Countless demon beasts immediately rushed inside, devouring the mortals within, slaughtering the cultivators, the scene was bloody and brutal.
The Purple Mansion Demon Beast watched all this coldly.
Suddenly, his waist token emitted a sound.
A scene appeared on the token, showing a black-armored youth and the rewards behind it.
"Blood Pool Baptism, Creation Pill, Golden Core Pill, Infinite Pill!"
The Purple Mansion Demon Beast was immediately moved by these rewards.
Not only him, even Golden Core Demon Beasts would be moved upon seeing this.
The Blood Pool Baptism could allow a demon beast’s bloodline to undergo a second awakening, enhancing bloodline purity. The enhancement of bloodline purity meant an increase in the Demon Race’s potential, an increase in its upper limit.
In the Human Race, potential is divided based on spirit roots and physique;
But the Demon Race divides potential based on bloodline purity.
The Creation Pill, when consumed, can increase the dantian’s capacity, raising the storage of true essence, which is highly beneficial for cultivators.
The Golden Core Pill can help cultivators unify their essence, qi, and spirit to condense a Golden Core, increasing the success rate by three-tenths.
The Infinite Pill, when consumed, can stimulate a cultivator’s potential, increasing the likelihood of successfully crossing a tribulation.
These elixirs are not only expensive but extremely scarce, with prices skyrocketing and demand far outstripping supply.
Not only do those at the peak of the Purple Mansion want them, even some Golden Core Great Demons covet them.
"What a pity, I’m only at the Fifth Layer of the Purple Mansion!"
This Purple Mansion Demon Beast sighed and closed the token.
Such treasures were beyond his reach; at least the Eighth Layer or Ninth Layer of the Purple Mansion, or even a half-step into the Demon Pill realm, would be required to compete for such opportunities.
...
At the same moment, in other locations, Purple Mansion Demon Beasts were sensing the message on the token, many demon beasts sighed, leaving grudges behind; only a few peak Purple Mansion Demon Beasts sensed the Golden Crow Demon Emperor’s bounty and their eyes flashed with excitement as they tracked the aura and moved forward.
At this very moment, in a valley, a beautiful girl appeared, wearing a white dress, her figure exquisite and delicate, her silver hair like moonlight.
Her eyes were like stars, and on her forehead was a crescent moon mark.
Blush tinged her cheeks, her body glowing with a faint light like jade, her neck graceful, her exquisite collarbone enchanting, her chest holding enormous armaments that distorted her body’s proportions, making an otherwise perfect body look unbalanced.
She exuded a pitiable, enchanting aura, like a captivating enchantress.
Behind her were four tails.
She held a token in her hand, from which a message was transmitted.
"Mystic Moon Sword Master recently crossed the Three Tribulations, proving her path to Nascent Soul True Monarch, she has a vendetta with the Golden Crow Demon Emperor for son’s death."
"That Golden Palace Demon King attempted to advance to Nascent Soul, but lost his life to the Life Tribulation, with the Life Tribulation being instigated by the Mystic Moon Sword Master."
Bai Ling’Er pondered.
She recalled the rumors from not long ago.
A hundred years ago, Mystic Moon Sword Master and the Golden Palace Demon King had a great battle; during the battle, Mystic Moon Sword Master was seriously injured and barely survived by relying on the array of Iron Ridge Pass.
In this battle, the Golden Palace Demon King slightly held the upper hand, seized part of Mystic Moon Sword Master’s fortune, and broke through the Human Tribulation, significantly boosting his cultivation.
He intended to use the beast tide to kill this Human Race prodigy and cross the Life Tribulation.
However, the Mystic Moon Sword Master advanced one step ahead, crossed the Three Tribulations, proved her path to Nascent Soul, and used the fortune taken from her as a cause to prematurely instigate the Golden Palace Demon King’s tribulation, resulting in this demon king’s death on the spot, turning to ashes.
With unrivaled bloodline concentration, comprehension, and talent, the Golden Palace Demon King was the most outstanding among the offspring of the Golden Crow Demon Emperor.
In the end, he died at the hands of the Mystic Moon Sword Master, making them sworn enemies.
"Little brother, you’re in danger now, marked by the Golden Crow Demon Emperor, don’t die in the catastrophe!"
Bai Ling’Er pondered, a trace of worry flashing across her face, and this worry was genuine.
"Recently, I awakened my fifth tail, the divine technique being [Disguise], I can conceal my aura, transforming into a Human Race. As long as it’s not someone with a Divine Eye talent or a late-stage Nascent Soul expert, I can somewhat conceal myself. If things are not going well, I can take little brother away."
Thinking of this, a determined look flashed in Bai Ling’Er’s eyes.
A fifth tail appeared behind her, and as she wielded it, a ray of light enveloped her body, transforming her into a Human Race female cultivator.
This Human Race female cultivator was an imprint based on the woman most deeply imprinted in Lu Xuanji’s heart.
Lu Xuanji might not know, but Bai Ling’Er did.
"My name is Qingyou!"
