Chapter 512 - Blood Sacrifice Reappearance
Demon General Strongman had thought Long Chen was at the Fifth Passage Stage because he had managed to kill Zhao Wuji. He had never thought Long Chen would be able to unleash such a fearsome attack.
He’s strong! He’s been hiding his strength all this time! Demon General Strongman gave up on Liu Yiyi to face Long Chen’s attack. The Heavenly Sword Array had been completed and was already above his head.
At the same time, the Blood Devouring Domain had covered the entire cave. The blood-red mist obscured Demon General Strongman’s vision. He also felt a strange force that threatened to suck his blood out!
“What is this?!” He was shocked and immediately used a portion of his Qi to counteract the suction.
He was experiencing Long Chen’s tenacity for the first time!
That brat! If I don’t fight at my full strength, I will die!
He had no choice as the Heavenly Sword Array reached him. His Ninth Passage Stage Qi exploded, causing the entire cave to tremble. Wind blew everywhere as Demon General Strongman glared at Long Chen before punching him.
Roar!
A tiger illusion appeared on his fist. The tiger charged towards the Heavenly Sword Array with terrifying speed. An incredible burst of energy swept past the entire cave and shook the mountain.
Liu Yiyi was already at the entrance of the cave. She wanted to look back when she sensed the tremors, but she knew she would slow down if she did so. The longer she took, the more danger Long Chen would be in.
“Why are you doing this for me? We aren’t close, so there’s no reason for you to risk your life for me ...” Liu Yiyi was crying. She knew that Long Chen would only be safe if she managed to escape. So she continued to run towards the Clear Shallows King.
Long Chen and Demon General Strongman sensed that Liu Yiyi was already out of the cave. Long Chen relaxed a little, while Demon General Strongman frowned.
“Brat, you are forcing me to kill you faster!” Liu Yiyi’s escape meant that the Clear Shallows King would come here soon. When she arrived, Demon General Strongman would undoubtedly die even if he killed Long Chen. That was why his killing intent exploded.
Roar!
The tiger illusion continued to crash into the Heavenly Sword Array. A strong surge of energy swept past everything, and chunks of earth fell from the cave’s ceiling. If they continued to fight here, the entire cave would collapse!
“You wouldn’t be able to defeat me even if you were ten times stronger!” Demon General Strongman’s fist broke past the Heavenly Sword Array and sent Long Chen flying deep into the wall of the cave.
Long Chen felt his blood boiling, and he almost spat out a lot of it. Demon General Strongman’s attacks were indeed horrifying. Even a simple punch was much stronger than his Heavenly Sword Array!
“Is that so?” Long Chen chuckled. He had been wounded, but Liu Yiyi had managed to escape. Escaping would be easy if he used Blood Warp right now, but he chose not to. Not only did he want her to get further away, he didn’t want his enemy to live any longer!
Since Demon General Strongman wanted to kill Long Chen, Long Chen naturally wanted to kill Demon General Strongman!
“I couldn’t kill you even if I were ten times stronger? What a joke. I haven’t used this in a long time ...”
Long Chen’s confidence confused Demon General Strongman.
Not only had he not used it in a long time, he had only used it twice in his life. Both times were when he was being chased in the Cangyang Kingdom.
It was Blood Sacrifice!
It was an incredible technique that was no weaker than Blood Transmutation and the Dragon Soul Transformation.
Blood Sacrifice had three stages. The first stage would sacrifice one stage of his cultivation to temporarily increase his cultivation level by one stage. If he used it now and paired it with his Dragon Soul Transformation, he would have as much Qi as someone at the Ninth Passage Stage! But after the duration ran out, he would drop down to the Sixth Passage Stage.
The second stage would sacrifice two stages to temporarily increase his cultivation level by two stages. After the technique expired, he would drop down to the Fifth Passage Stage.
The third stage sacrificed three stages to temporarily increase his strength by three stages. He would drop down to the Fourth Passage Stage after it was over.
Blood Sacrifice was a last resort. Not only would it cause his cultivation level to regress, it would also damage his body to a certain extent.
The first stage’s backlash was minimal to non-existent. The second stage had to be used sparingly as it would inflict a moderate backlash. He had used the second stage to fight against Song Zhongcheng and Lin Zichen. The third stage would cause a considerable backlash that would cripple him for an extended period of time. He couldn’t use it unless he was on the verge of death.
Long Chen actually had many different techniques to save his life. Rewind, Blood Warp, and Blood Sacrifice were extremely strong techniques that had saved his life in different ways.
It was fine for him to use the first stage, and since Liu Yiyi had escaped, he could use it to kill Demon General Strongman now!
Blood-red fire lit up on Long Chen’s body. As the fire grew, Long Chen’s cultivation level increased. Coupled with his transformation, he now had as much Qi as a Ninth Passage Stage cultivator!
He had used the first stage of Blood Sacrifice!
The burning fire shocked Demon General Strongman.
“What is that?” He wanted to kill Long Chen as quickly as possible, but he was completely stumped when he saw the fire.
“It’s something that will take your life!” The first stage was completed. Long Chen had kept some demonic beast corpses for emergency situations, and now he could use them!
His eyes were filled with blood-red fire too.
“Die!”
Just as Demon General Strongman wanted to deal with Long Chen as soon as possible, the latter was thinking the same thing!
Due to the Blood Devouring Domain, Long Chen had never been defeated by enemies at the same cultivation level as himself. Since he was stronger now, Demon General Strongman had a hard time resisting the Blood Devouring Domain!
“What is this!?” Demon General Strongman started to lose control over his blood, so he allocated even more Qi to suppress it. It took half of his Qi to stabilize himself.
Just then, a Heavenly Sword Array ten times stronger than before landed on him.
“No!” Demon General Strongman howled and punched numerous times, but his attacks were too weak. The sharp edges of the Heavenly Sword Array tore the Demon General to shreds. Only his Universe Pouch survived Long Chen’s merciless attack.
Long Chen quickly stashed it.
Blood Sacrifice’s duration soon ran out, and Long Chen saw the Earth Yang meridian slowly closing itself. He quickly sat down and started to use Blood Transmutation on the Nine Wheels Ghost Fire Beast. After transforming the blood into Qi, he quickly used it along with some Heavenly Passage Pills to cultivate.
He used another 350,000 Heavenly Passage Pills to advance back into the Seventh Passage Stage, but he was not sad about it. Since Demon General Strongman intended to run away from the Ancient Demon Domain, Long Chen was certain that the Universe Pouch would be filled with many things.
Descending back to the Sixth Passage Stage and advancing back to the Seventh Passage Stage was a simple process, but it was a horrible feeling. Long Chen wouldn’t have risked it if his opponent wasn’t an enemy with a grudge who also had a lot of treasures.
Killing people and taking their money was the fastest way to get rich. Long Chen’s true plan had been to let Liu Yiyi escape and then use Blood Sacrifice and the Blood Devouring Domain to kill the Demon General and collect his money.
It was not something he would usually do since it was risky.
When Long Chen finished cultivating, he had a feeling that Liu Yiyi would return soon. Sure enough, she ran into the cave after a few minutes. Her face was filled with worry, shock, and streaks of tears.
Long Chen knew that she wouldn’t call the Clear Shallows King but instead turn back halfway. She thought Long Chen would catch up to her, but she panicked when he never showed up. This made her assume that Long Chen had been killed, and she blamed herself.
She ran back in despair because she thought it was better if she died with Long Chen since he had died for her sake.
But when she reached the cave, she was greeted by an unexpected scene.
