Chapter 167: Green Flood Dragon, the Fiend King
Immortal Lord Yuding had only three months left to live, so naturally, he made every second count. Immediately after imparting an incantation to Lu Hangzhi, he swiftly departed from Two Realms Mountain to create more talismans for sealing the Blood Fiend fangs.
Master Bitter Sea and Immortal Lord Jiuzao left with him.
The appearance of Immortal Lord Yuding greatly boosted the morale of the cultivators from various sects at Two Realms Mountain.
Especially the Seven Great Sects!
For over half a month, they had only seen Biluo, the top expert from the evil sect of Yanfu Mountain, fighting at Two Realms Mountain, with no sign of any Immortal Lords from the Seven Great Sects. Now, the arrival of Immortal Lord Yuding and the drastic changes in the Sky Passage made them clearly feel the strength and depth of the Seven Great Sects, greatly lifting their spirits.
After Immortal Lord Yuding left, the situation on the mountain quickly changed.
As the Blood Fiends in the Sky Passage fought more brutally among themselves, blood floated within the passage, creating a vicious cycle. Almost no intact Blood Fiend could break through the Spatial Rift Formation, greatly reducing the pressure on both Situ and Lu Hangzhi.
However…
The materials from the Blood Fiends were very precious and valuable!
Especially the Elite Blood Fiends, who wore various magical artifacts and protective gear made in Green Maple Continent. Even if damaged, they were excellent materials for artifact refining.
So!
Everyone began trying every possible method to preserve various materials from the “Male God.”
“They are all mine, all mine.”
Biluo was the most unrestrained. With a wave of his Banner of Ten Thousand Souls, countless Evil Spirits flew through the air, darting back and forth as fast as lightning, plundering more soul bodies from the Sky Passage and the sword net created by the Male God.
“Hangzhi, I need a large amount of blood from the Elite Blood Fiends.”
“I feel my Blood Slave is about to break through to the Mystic Light Stage!”
Lu Hangzhi could not refuse Luo Sen’s request—after all, having a few more combatants at the Mystic Light Stage would be beneficial for Two Realms Mountain and the Human Race.
This task was then assigned to another Divine Thought Clone—the Female God.
She used her spiritual sense to collect large amounts of blood. Once the blood was extracted from the sword net, she sealed it with the Frost Law, stacking block by block on the mountain peak to ensure no Elite Blood Fiend could take advantage.
“Hangzhi, um, could you also get me some parts from the Elite Blood Fiends? Preferably their wings. I am considering using Blood Fiend wings to replace my flying spiritual artifact.”
Qin Huai transmitted his message seriously. “If the refining succeeds, it will greatly enhance the user’s movement speed and combat flexibility.”
Uh.
This request was even harder to refuse.
“No problem, leave it to me.”
Lu Hangzhi opened the Canon of Time.
The flow of time around him immediately slowed…
Lu Hangzhi looked around with satisfaction, then glanced at the Sky Passage and smiled slightly. With the help of the Canon of Time, he began to accelerate his comprehension and mastery of the incantation left by Immortal Lord Yuding.
Before long, Lu Hangzhi had mastered the method of flying in the Flight Prohibition Array area and was overjoyed.
He thought to himself:
The Canon of Time is truly a treasure!
With this, future cultivation would be even more efficient.
The only regret was that he still could not open the second page of the Canon of Time to learn more spells from it. It seemed that only after successfully breaking through to the Mystic Light of Life and Death could he truly gain the Canon of Time’s approval and comprehend the deeper Law of Years.
Even so,
the Canon of Time was still incredibly powerful.
Less than a quarter of an hour had passed in the outside world, and he had already mastered a flight technique.
Lu Hangzhi focused his mind, formed a hand seal, and immediately felt an invisible net slowly dissolve from his body.
His feet left the ground.
His body became light, surrounded by magic power, moving as he wished.
“Hangzhi?”
“How are you flying?”
Many people noticed this.
Aside from Situ, numerous individuals transmitted messages to inquire.
Lu Hangzhi dismissed them all by saying it was taught by Immortal Lord Yuding, then he gracefully ascended into the air.
He drew closer and closer to the Sky Passage!
Soon… he arrived.
Lu Hangzhi stopped right in front of the Sky Passage.
For the first time, he examined the fissure in the firmament up close. Lu Hangzhi felt suddenly very small. The Sky Passage was like a tear in the sky’s curtain, shocking and awe-inspiring, vast and unfathomable.
At that moment, a river of blood poured down, and endless Blood Fiend carcasses fell toward Two Realms Mountain like rain, immense and imposing, with a terrifying momentum.
If Qin Huai and Luo Sen were here, they would probably be overjoyed, right?
Lu Hangzhi shook his head with a smile and began his work.
Spiritual sense coverage!
Material retrieval!
Like countless invisible hands, they reached into the blood-red waterfall, precisely pulling out relatively intact wings, along with materials and magical artifacts from the Elite Blood Fiends, and threw them into the storage ring to avoid being damaged by the Male God’s Law of Fire.
Although what he collected was only a tiny fraction from the Sky Passage, Lu Hangzhi gathered only the finest materials, which were highly valuable and had great potential for artifact refining.
“That brat! Stealing on the job!”
Biluo watched from below, filled with envy and resentment.
But there was nothing he could do.
Who asked him not to know Immortal Lord Yuding’s unique secret technique?
He could only watch helplessly as Lu Hangzhi, with his advantageous position, intercepted all the good materials first, leaving only the dregs for him to pick from.
While collecting materials from the Elite Blood Fiends, Lu Hangzhi also observed the situation inside the Sky Passage!
Because he had ascended near the Sky Passage, his spiritual sense naturally extended deeper into the passage…
The fierce battle was still ongoing!
Countless corpses and remains of Blood Fiends and Elite Blood Fiends drifted within the spatial passage, slowly moving toward the Barbarian Continent side. It was a silent, terrifying, and intensely gruesome scene, like a hellish realm of Asura.
Although he had long grown accustomed to signs of slaughter in the Sky Passage, seeing such a vast number of Mystic Light Stage demonic fiends marching to their deaths in a grand procession, Lu Hangzhi could not help but feel a chill from the depths of his heart, along with a reverence for the unknown world.
Green Maple Continent!
The world where Situ came from, where the Mystic Light of Life and Death was as common as stray dogs, mere cannon fodder. How vast must such a world be?
And how fierce must the competition be there?
Lu Hangzhi fell into deep thought.
After one hour, his storage ring was completely full.
After fulfilling the requests of Luo Sen and Qin Huai, Lu Hangzhi was about to descend back to Two Realms Mountain.
Suddenly!
The Canon of Time flew out from his chest.
A beam of light shot into his mind without warning.
Lu Hangzhi quickly saw a scroll unfolding before his eyes!
Beside a spatial fissure as grim and deep as a canyon, a man with an oddly bewitching face hovered in the air, stopping above a vast, dark horde of the Blood Demon Legion.
A six-winged demonic fiend enveloped in black flames and radiating a terrifying aura suddenly led countless Blood Fiends into the spatial fissure, entering the slow-moving spatial passage…
With the six-winged demonic fiend at the front and countless Blood Fiends following closely behind, the procession was incredibly grand! Soon, they arrived in a strange space filled with countless dismembered remnants and blood of Blood Fiends.
Boom!
Seeing this, Lu Hangzhi was abruptly jolted out, his forehead and back slick with cold sweat.
This was…
A warning from a treasure!
“Hangzhi? Are you alright?”
Situ’s concerned voice echoed beside him, clearly noticing something was off.
Lu Hangzhi cast a lingering, fearful glance at the gradually dimming Codex of Time, then peered deeply toward the Sky Passage, slowly calming the emotional turmoil from that horrifying scene.
“Situ!”
Lu Hangzhi turned his head and transmitted his voice, “In your Green Maple Continent, is there a type of demonic fiend with six wings on its back, as tall as a Matrix Tower?”
“There are many!”
Situ thought for a moment and nodded, “Among mutated Blood Fiends, there are quite a few with six wings. They move incredibly fast, even rivaling cultivators at the Creation Realm… Wait, did you see something?”
“Just now, the Canon of Time gave a warning. I saw a six-winged demonic fiend covered in black flames lead countless Blood Fiends into a canyon fissure, charging through a spatial passage. It seemed to be heading straight for our Barbarian Continent!” Lu Hangzhi relayed the truth with a serious tone.
“A Great Fiend King!”
Situ gasped sharply and urgently replied, “That six-winged demonic fiend you described is a Great Fiend King. Only demonic fiends at the Creation Realm can wield Law Power so freely. That type of Great Fiend King combines fire and dark attributes. I once heard about it during my time in the military camp.”
“Creation Realm?!”
Lu Hangzhi’s heart trembled at this revelation.
“Yes!”
Situ affirmed decisively, “The Blood Demon Legion has suffered heavy losses. It seems the Descendant of the Demon God has grown impatient, ready to sacrifice a Great Fiend King to conquer the Lower Realm and take Barbarian Continent.”
“What should we do now?”
“Probably nothing can be done.” Situ gave a bitter laugh, “A Great Fiend King is the Legion Commander of the Blood Demon Legion. Their every move is imbued with Law Power, and ordinary Law Power can’t harm them… The fact that even a Great Fiend King has been dispatched shows the Descendant of the Demon God is determined to seize Barbarian Continent. I have no solution either…”
“…”
Hearing this, Lu Hangzhi’s heart sank to the depths.
If even Situ had no answer, it showed just how powerful a Great Fiend King was!
“Is it… all over for Barbarian Continent just like that?”
Lu Hangzhi looked around below and saw the cultivators in high spirits, delighted by the various Blood Fiend materials, completely unaware that a massive, unprecedented calamity was approaching Barbarian Continent.
“Actually, it might be worth it.”
At that moment, Situ suddenly transmitted a message with a smile,
“Hangzhi, do you know, because of the altered time flow between Green Maple Continent and Barbarian Continent, that Great Fiend King is essentially finished…”
Lu Hangzhi was stunned.
“It’s easy for the Great Fiend King to enter Barbarian Continent, but returning is nearly impossible. Once here, breaking through the boundary force to go back is almost unthinkable! By the time Barbarian Continent is enslaved for centuries, the Great Fiend King will have long since perished. It’s like a mere human legion scout like me taking down a Legion Commander-ranked figure—isn’t that quite a bargain?”
Situ made a very dry joke.
Lu Hangzhi couldn’t bring himself to laugh.
“No!”
“We can’t just sit and wait for death!”
Even though Situ had lost all fighting spirit, Lu Hangzhi felt there was still a chance.
Not to mention the Spatial Rift Formation was still intact; even if the Great Fiend King broke through and descended upon Barbarian Continent, it didn’t mean the Human Race had no opportunity at all.
Creation Realm!
So what?!
With the Codex of Time, even if the odds were hopeless, there was still one last winning move—Years!
Immortal Lord Yuding managed to guard Barbarian Continent for over a century;
I have two hundred years of life to burn…
If I burn my lifespan with the Mystic Light of Life and Death, even if I can’t kill the Great Fiend King, I should at least be able to inflict serious harm.
In that moment, Lu Hangzhi felt a surge of fearless resolve, ready to face death!
