Born with immortal seed

Chapter 538 A Different Sword Formation
"The Blood Demon Clan... this aura... belongs to the demon who possessed the body of the Blood God True Monarch!"

The blood surged and thickened, almost becoming tangible. The pungent smell of blood, accompanied by an overwhelming pressure, made Bai Zichen feel as if he were in an endless sea of ​​blood.

He had fought a life-or-death battle with the Blood God True Lord and was deeply impressed by his supernatural abilities.

Before them, a tide of blood-red light surged forth, starting as a single grain of rice hidden in the fierce wind, and swelling to cover an area of ​​hundreds of miles in blood-red color in less than three breaths.

The oppressive aura emanating from that faceless, eerie countenance surpassed even that of the former Blood God True Monarch.

It is somewhat similar to Du Heng's true demonic clone, possessing a pure and undisguised overwhelming demonic intent.

The destruction of its physical body had no effect on this ancient demon; on the contrary, it freed it from its shackles and made it even more powerful.

Those demonic powers became even easier to use.

Just like the thousands upon thousands of thin, blood-red needles that appeared before my eyes, they were not some kind of flying needle magic weapon, but were all condensed from divine thought.

While it is still a long way from the crystallization of divine thoughts of a Nascent Soul cultivator, it is already extremely incredible for a Nascent Soul True Monarch.

The Blood Demon may seem arrogant, but he actually uses deadly moves right from the start, leaving his opponents no way out.

Without reaching the Great True Monarch realm, no matter how strong your defensive magic weapon is, it cannot withstand tens of thousands of blood-red flying needles.

Even flying needle-type magical artifacts have always been the nemesis of body-tempering cultivators.

A perfectly smooth and powerful body, once pierced by a flying needle with even a tiny hole, becomes uncontrollable.

Only by relying on the power of the cave can one prevent the attack from landing on oneself and allow the power of the flying needles to weaken on its own.

However, the flying needle magic weapon also has a major flaw.

Only when it reaches a certain scale can it possess such power; otherwise, it can be easily cracked.

The more powerful the creatures, the greater the demand on one's spiritual sense.

Only a divine being who has undergone a qualitative change by crystallizing their divine thoughts can support hundreds or thousands of flying needles.

This demon, who once possessed the Blood God True Lord, was like a candle flickering in the wind; if it weren't for the special properties of the Blood Sea, he would have died long ago.

But being from the Blood Demon Clan of the Heavenly Demon Realm, it survived by virtue of its inexhaustible blood sea and immortality.

Among the many ancient demons who descended to the realm, his strength was unlikely to rank in the top ten, yet he lived longer than the other ancient demons.

It has grown back from a weak divine thought, and during this period it has clearly devoured and refined a lot of Nascent Soul cultivators. It feels like it is approaching the pressure of a perfect Nascent Soul cultivator.

"What a sinister trick!"

Without much thought, Bai Zichen patted the Supreme Pure Micro Sword Box, and the Star River Sword Formation was activated.

Unbeknownst to them, dozens of flying needles silently appeared behind them, almost piercing their bodies.

Fortunately, once the sword formation is activated, it forms its own universe and starry sky. As the stars formed by the twelve flying swords begin to rotate, all external objects will become prominent.

No matter how well you conceal your flying needles, they are clearly visible in the starry sky, shimmering with a bewitching, blood-red hue.

Without any deliberate targeting, the rising and falling of celestial bodies, with their immense power, directly crushed the flying needles.

The crimson flying needles from the front also seemed somewhat inadequate when facing the sword formation that supported a galaxy of stars and heaven.

The two waves of attacks did not cause much of a stir, and the attack was defused on its own after losing several hundred units.

"A disciple of the Taibai Sword Sect! It's you again?"

The faceless creature twisted and roared with hatred, accompanied by a series of meaningless low growls, and the sound of waves came from the depths of the blood-red light.

Everything that the Blood God True Monarch experienced became his memories after he devoured his host from the inside out.

He naturally recognized this opponent who had severely injured the Blood God True Monarch and who had only escaped by sacrificing the Avici Heavenly Prison Demon Sword.

After the Blood Demon took control of the main body, he decisively withdrew when the Joyful Sect attacked the Blood Sea Sect to avoid being left behind by the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden.

This led to the complete loss of morale in the Blood Sea Sect, and the long-standing Nascent Soul sect was destroyed before it could last long.

Later, the Blood Demon tried to recall his original flying sword, but his method of survival was special, and a single demonic seed had long been severed from his past.

Furthermore, after being washed in the depths of the Blood Sea for ten thousand years, the Avici Heavenly Prison Demon Sword began to develop independent thought.

He gave up after several attempts to cast the spell without receiving any response.

However, as one of the last batch of descending demons, a half-step Void Refinement cultivator, and having personally participated in the operation to annihilate the Taibai Sword Sect, Blood Demon's vision and knowledge far surpassed those of Blood God True Monarch.

Although his appearance and demeanor were completely different from the sword cultivator who had defeated the Blood God True Monarch, the sword formation did not lie.

Moreover, he was all too familiar with the scent of the Taibai Sword Sect cultivators; even now, the thought of it sent chills down his spine.

The expressionless white-haired youth, wielding a broken sword, charged back and forth through the great formation, causing the ancient demons, who were already on the verge of death, to tremble with fear.

This person was outside the plan; no one expected that the Taibai Sword Sect had a second Nascent Soul sword cultivator hidden inside.

If it weren't for the critical moment when a snow-white hand reached out from the void, holding a five-colored spear, piercing the white-haired boy's chest with a single thrust, leaving a gaping hole that could never heal.

With just a group of old, weak, sick, and disabled ancient demons, it's quite possible that they wouldn't be able to stop the white-haired sword cultivator from breaking through the encirclement.

Even so, two demon lords in the besieging team were affected by the sword intent and died shortly after returning.

It was a complete annihilation that left not even a trace of divine thought or a single demonic seed. Because of this, the Blood Demon obediently shrank into a single demonic seed.

It drifts randomly in the sea of ​​blood, searching for a suitable host.

"So what if they are disciples of the Taibai Sword Sect? They are only at the mid-Nascent Soul stage... Not every one of them is a heaven-defying sword cultivator who can be invincible among their peers!"

The Blood Demon abandoned his physical body, originally planning to devour a few human True Monarchs before seizing an opportunity to attack a powerful demon with strong wild beast bloodlines and refine a physical body from his blood.

Now that his strength has recovered to the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, and he is confident that he has mastered countless divine abilities of the Heavenly Demon Realm, he compared his strength with that of the Blood God True Monarch that day and felt that he could defeat him by paying a certain price, so he charged forward.

Blood Demon God!
He charged towards the sword formation, looking like a moth drawn to a flame, but then suddenly turned around halfway and came to the other side.

His movements were unpredictable, changing direction multiple times in a single breath, leaving behind several bloody shadows in the air.

Each time, he had to slip away just before touching the Star River Sword Formation, leaving only the raging sea of ​​blood crashing down behind him.

This process was repeated, wasting the true essence of the cultivators who were activating the sword formation.

He believed that no Nascent Soul True Monarch could control the flow of Qi and blood in front of the Blood Demon's true form.

It is likely that the Taibai Sword Sect disciples in the sword formation are already experiencing agitation and difficulty in controlling their blood and qi. If they take another step, the qi will surge out of their bodies and burn directly from their thoughts.

The Blood Demon Clan was born from the oldest sea of ​​blood in the Heavenly Demon Realm. Every member of the clan is born with the Great Dao of Blood. As one of the five great demon clans, they are incredibly powerful.

As one of the chosen ones to come to the human world, this demon's strength ranks among the top ten of his peers. If he were too weak, he would be sent back during the selection process.

At his peak, as long as he revealed his true form as the Blood Demon, the life and death of any living being within ten thousand miles who had not reached the Nascent Soul stage would be in his hands.

Even Nascent Soul cultivators must protect their blood and qi with the true meaning of the Great Dao; otherwise, if the Blood Demon seizes the opportunity, it will drain their life essence, leaving only a withered human skin on the spot.

The Blood Demon has extensive combat experience and, despite his seemingly uncontrollable rage, he always retains his rationality.

He was waiting for his opponent to reveal a weakness, then he charged in despite the Star River Sword Formation, merging his sword into the opponent's blood essence.

Even if it means being severely injured under the Star River Sword Formation, it will be worth it.

Being able to devour such a cultivator as provisions is equivalent to several ordinary Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

He was also very curious about how the Taibai Sword Sect managed to preserve its legacy despite the presence of extraterrestrial demons within, ancient demons setting up formations to intercept it from the outside, and even mysterious powerful figures secretly intervening.

On that day, almost all the ancient beings remaining in the human world united to plot against and destroy the Taibai Sword Sect.

The Nascent Soul sects on the human side are unlikely to have much goodwill towards this rapidly rising and arrogant sword cultivator sect.

The resources of the cultivation world are there for everyone; if some people take more, others will naturally have to take less.

Furthermore, the Taibai Sword Sect had no idea what alliances and counter-alliances were; they subdued the cultivation world entirely through their unparalleled strength.

Therefore, these ancient figures, who would normally be considered pariahs, received almost the tacit approval of all the Nascent Soul sects when they plotted against the Taibai Sword Sect, and faced little resistance.

Only a few sects had considered sending aid to the Taibai Sword Sect.

However, these countermeasures were all countered by pre-prepared countermeasures, such as persuasion, enticement, or delay.

This was solely to ensure that none of the Taibai Sword Sect disciples above the Core Formation stage would survive.

“The cultivators of the Blood Sea Sect are already extremely difficult to kill... Now, they have encountered the source of the cultivation technique, the Blood Demon from the Heavenly Demon Realm. Even if they were to be blasted to pieces and cleansed a thousand times, it would still be impossible to completely eliminate them.”

Contrary to Blood Demon's expectations, Bai Zichen was not greatly affected by his supernatural powers and did not feel extremely uncomfortable.

As soon as the essence and blood within his body stirred slightly, the four immortal bones immediately lit up one after another, calming the storm.

With each additional immortal bone refined by the Nine Heavens Bone Forging Technique, one can feel their control over their physical body increasing by a new level.

If all seven immortal bones could be complete, many more wondrous things would surely arise.

This was the first time Bai Zichen had activated the Star River Sword Formation since he switched to cultivating the Dongxuan Lushen Sword Scripture.

All I can say is that it is indeed the most suitable cultivation method for sword cultivators.

Furthermore, since the Star River Sword Formation was originally created by Sword Sect cultivators, many details can only be perfected by cultivators who have mastered the Sword Scripture.

No matter how much others practice, unless they fundamentally reject the Star River Sword Formation and start from scratch, they will have no way to make up for this deficiency.

The Star River Sword Formation operated with increasing smoothness, erasing even the slightest pauses in the rise and fall of celestial bodies.

Even when he replaced the two swords he had set up with, there was no strange feeling; they were perfectly harmonious.

Blood Demon had always believed that Bai Zichen was a disciple of the Taibai Sword Sect, and subconsciously assumed that he had already practiced the Dongxuan Lushen Sword Scripture during their last encounter, otherwise there would be no reason for him to set up a sword formation.

It's completely unimaginable that they relied on the Supreme Pure and Subtle Sword Box that day.

It hasn't been long since he switched to cultivating the Dongxuan Slaughtering God Sword Scripture.

This misunderstanding led the Blood Demon to make a wrong assessment of the power of the new Star River Sword Formation.

Bai Zichen did not take the initiative to attack, but tried to lure the opponent into revealing a weakness so that he could strike with lightning speed.

The Blood Demon is the same; if you really want him to charge into the Star River Formation, he's seen how the Star River Sword Lord performed when besieging Sword Mountain.

Suddenly, extraterrestrial demons attacked. Star River Sword Lord set up a sword formation, encircling more than a dozen Nascent Soul level extraterrestrial demons by himself, buying precious time for his fellow disciples.

For three whole days, not a single extraterrestrial demon escaped from the sword formation.

In the end, the Star River Sword Lord died from exhaustion of his true essence.

After their deaths, the sword formation disintegrated, leaving only three or four surviving extraterrestrial demons, each wounded.

Even if the Northern Region youth in front of him is not as skilled as the Star River Sword Lord, as long as he has some of the spirit, he can drag the Blood Demon to his death several times before his last breath.

Even if it is immortal and indestructible, the more it dies, the more indifferent and distant the reborn blood demon becomes to its original form.

Having died hundreds of times, the reborn Blood Demon still shares some connection with the first one, and can now be considered a completely new individual.

"Insane! How could anyone maintain a sword formation for so long? He's clearly only a mid-Nascent Soul cultivator!"

Ten days later, looking at the ever-flowing, undiminished universe, the Blood Demon lost his composure, and his impatience and rage were evident on his faceless face.

If this drags on, the human sword cultivators won't fall yet, but the ancient demons from the Heavenly Demon Realm will be the first to give out.

Finally, on the second day, the Blood Demon saw the Star River Sword Formation shake, and there was a problem with the connection between the twelve stars.

This is clearly a sign of declining control over the sword formation.

Despite only having a fleeting moment, the Blood Demon seized the opportunity, creating an almost impossible opening, and charged into the sword formation.

Upon arriving at the Starry Sky World, he merely glanced up at the twelve stars above him, and tens of thousands of blood shadows appeared immediately.

Each blood shadow moved in unison, their fingers striking out in response to the surrounding sea of ​​blood, which continued to expand rapidly.

A mysterious force of attraction draped the starry sky in a crimson veil, as if blood were about to gush forth from the void.

"When the Blood Sea descends, it will drag your sword formation down to the bottom of the sea. Ten thousand years later, when it is eroded by the Blood Sea, our clan will be able to produce a batch of high-level flying swords... Bai Zichen, do you think I should thank you?"

Tens of thousands of blood demons spoke at the same time, creating a huge echo within the Star River Sword Formation.

"It seems that most of the Blood Shadow clones have entered. If you kill all the clones here, even if you are not completely destroyed, you will at least have to sleep for a thousand years."

Even now, Bai Zichen's face remained ashen.

His sudden remark caused a drastic change in the expressions of all the Blood Shadows.

Wow!

A layer of starlight fell, and the blood shadow clones that tried to leave were bounced back.

In the far distance of the starry sky, Little White Nascent Soul grasped the Supreme Pure Micro Sword Box and spat out a mouthful of his natal essence onto it.

Under the boundless starry sky, the twelve celestial bodies rotate at more than double the speed, day and night alternate, and the celestial phenomena and tides all accelerate.

The twelve constellations simultaneously unleashed a brilliant sword light, filling the entire world.

Those blood shadow clones didn't even have time to play any role before they were chopped into dust in the sea of ​​sword light.

At this moment, the Star River Sword Formation resembles the stars in the sky more than it did before, when it was immediately obvious that it was formed from flying swords.

Those starlight sword lights were more than twice as powerful, and with the accumulation of countless sword lights, they actually annihilated the Blood Demon and his Blood Shadow clone.

However, the next moment, the light condensed within the blood-red light outside the Star River Sword Formation, seemingly about to take human form.

But after a few shakes, the light suddenly dispersed, and the Blood Demon was reborn under the starry sky, completely bewildered.
