Family Cultivation: Evergreen of the Song Family

The Blood Gu used a method that was almost self-destructive.

Although the nascent soul was forcibly awakened, the physical body was also lost as a result.

That would be bad enough, but if the nascent soul comes into direct contact with the blood filled with malevolent energy and resentment, the longer it is left untouched, the deeper it will be corrupted, and in the end it will go completely mad.

Demonic cultivators practice demonic arts, ultimately only to pursue that powerful force. This does not mean they truly want to become those inhuman and ghostly "true demons." They are gambling with their lives.

If Song Changsheng can be dealt with in the shortest possible time, there is still a chance to salvage the situation.

"Uh-"

The crimson giant, formed from the nascent soul, let out a triumphant roar; he hadn't felt this power for a very, very long time.

This is his true power.

"crash"

Blood surged and spread across the sky, turning the world crimson. An invisible force of the Great Dao imprisoned this world, as if it had fallen into another realm.

Supernatural powers and manifestations, Daoist principles and domains, spatial travel.

Each of these can bring about a qualitative change in a cultivator's combat power, yet these are merely standard equipment for Nascent Soul True Monarchs.

After unlocking the gates of the Great Dao, Song Changsheng also mastered the Dao Principles Domain. With this power, he was almost invincible among cultivators of the same realm, and fighting against those of higher realms was commonplace for him.

However, his proud Daoist domain still has a huge gap compared to the Blood Gu.

When Nascent Soul cultivators fight, what they are competing in is their understanding and control of the power of the Great Dao. Although Blood Gu's cultivation has only just recovered to the early stage of Nascent Soul, he was once a late-stage Nascent Soul expert, and his understanding of the Great Dao of Blood has reached the pinnacle.

Although Song Changsheng controlled a great amount of Dao power, it was all at the initial level of enlightenment. He was completely suppressed by the Blood Gu, and he could not even expand his Dao domain.

The Dao Domain is like a small world completely isolated from the outside world, and the Blood Gu is the master of this small world. The strength of anyone else will be suppressed, and the greater the difference in understanding of the Great Dao, the stronger the restriction will be.

Only those realms of Dao principles at the same or higher level can remain unaffected or even be suppressed.

Being in the midst of it, Song Changsheng's strength was weakened by at least 30%. Fortunately, his luck was not affected by the Dao Law Domain, and the [Chengyuan Sword] could still unleash its full power, so he was not too passive.

"Death!"

The crimson giant slammed its hands down on the churning, viscous sea of ​​blood below, and then countless crimson tentacles emerged from the sea of ​​blood, carrying endless malevolent energy and resentment as they soared into the sky.

Within this domain of Dao principles, apart from the [Great Dao of Blood], almost no other Dao power can be sensed. This is equivalent to directly disabling Song Changsheng's biggest trump card in dealing with Nascent Soul cultivators—space travel.

Having lost his speed, Song Changsheng had nowhere to avoid the dense, blood-red tentacles and could only fight his way out with his sword.

"laugh"

The sword was drawn, its aura radiating outwards, illuminating the dark, blood-red world with unparalleled brightness.

"hold head high--"

The phantom of the dragon of fortune wrapped around the sword's edge gradually solidified as Song Changsheng moved. It swept out the moment it was launched, its size rapidly expanding to a hundred feet.

A high-pitched dragon roar accompanied by sword energy spread in all directions, severing hundreds of blood-red tentacles.

However, these crimson tentacles rely on the sea of ​​blood below. As long as the sea of ​​blood doesn't dry up, it will be endless. Even though Song Changsheng's swordsmanship is extraordinary, he can only barely protect himself.

But given the current situation, even if this drags on endlessly, he will definitely be the one who gets worn down in the end.

However, right now, the Blood Gu is pressed for time. The endless and immense malevolent energy and resentment are constantly eroding his nascent soul, leaving him no more time to waste.

"Great Divine Power [Blood Hand Covering the Sky]"

"crash"

A surge of blood erupted, and a massive shadow enveloped the sky, stretching as far as the eye could see. It seemed to possess the power to pluck stars and seize the moon, and a mountain-like pressure suddenly fell on Song Changsheng's shoulders, almost crushing him.

He gritted his teeth, relying on his powerful physique and extraordinary willpower harder than steel to resist this vast pressure. His bones made a cracking sound, and he could only rely on his will to activate the [Chengyuan Sword] to resist the endless blood-red tentacles.

"Wow"

The crimson giant suddenly disintegrated and re-merged into the viscous sea of ​​blood. The next moment, it silently appeared behind Song Changsheng, its enormous hand striking Song Changsheng with a piercing sonic boom.

"hold head high……"

This strike contained unparalleled power of the Great Dao. The dragon of destiny surrounding Song Changsheng let out a mournful cry, its body instantly exploding and dissipating into streams of light.

Although it only lasted for a moment, it bought precious reaction time.

"Great Divine Power [Flowers Bloom in an Instant]"

Hundreds of golden lotuses bloomed in the sea of ​​blood.

"Click, click..."

Wherever the bloody hand passed, large swaths of golden lotuses were annihilated, their rate of re-condensation far slower than their rate of destruction.

"boom"

Song Changsheng was knocked off the plane by this palm strike, his sternum collapsed at a visible speed, and his shattered internal organs could be vaguely seen in the spurting blood.

Just as he was about to plunge into the sea of ​​blood, several thick, straight, blood-red tentacles shot out, piercing his body like sharp arrows.

The powerful force unleashed by the tentacles in that instant nearly tore his body apart.

The Chengyuan Sword swooped down like lightning, unleashing a sharp sword aura that severed all the tentacles.

"An ant is just an ant. Even with a treasure like the [King of Men Sword], you can't unleash even a fraction of its power. Just hand it over to me!"

The Blood Gu's voice was filled with greed as it reached out its enormous bloody hand, attempting to forcefully suppress the [Cheng Yuan Sword]. However, the moment it made contact, it emitted a piercing "sizzle" sound, as if it had grasped a piece of burning coal. Its palm was charred, and the pain struck the very depths of its soul.

His body surged with demonic energy, and he could only hold on for a short while before he had to give way.

Although he was also human, he was already a half-demon. The human destiny was the glorious power of the righteous path and the nemesis of the demonic path. How could he possibly covet it?

Song Changsheng keenly seized the opportunity. As soon as he opened his mouth, the [Purple Void Divine Fire] shot straight at the head of the Blood Gu like an arrow, which was where the Blood Gu's nascent soul was located.

"A trivial skill!"

Blood Gu shook its arms, and a thousand-foot-long wave of blood swept over, slamming the [Purple Void Divine Fire] onto the sea of ​​blood before Song Changsheng's astonished eyes, without even a spark being ignited.

The Purple Void Divine Fire can burn anything.

But faced with an absolute difference in strength, they didn't even have a chance to ignite.

"go to hell!"

With a single punch, the heavens and earth trembled.

Even with all his might, Song Changsheng was unable to resist and plunged directly into the sea of ​​blood, enveloped by endless demonic energy. Had he not already overcome the [Inner Demon Tribulation], this blow would likely have left him with no chance of recovery.

His stellar blood surged within him, rapidly repairing his nearly shattered body.

In just a short while, he stubbornly stood up.

"Such vigorous vitality!"

The Blood Gu's voice carried a hint of disbelief, but even more so, greed.

At his level, finding a suitable physical body would be extremely difficult, and even if he did find one, his cultivation level would likely plummet.

However, Song Changsheng's body is not only suitable, but even stronger than his original body. If he could possess it, he might be able to reach an even higher level.

Even the light of a firefly dares to rival the brilliance of the moon.

"Submit to me, and you will not only live, but also gain boundless power!" The Blood Gu's voice was full of seduction.

Song Changsheng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said coldly, "You dare to say that?"

"Since you're so eager to die, then I'll grant your wish!"

The Blood Gu's voice suddenly turned icy cold, and the entire sea of ​​blood began to boil. The resentment of the demonic beasts contained within it was eroded by the blood and transformed into tens of thousands of evil spirits.

He wanted to destroy Song Changsheng's will and soul, and take over that perfect body!
As the ferocious demons with bared fangs and claws surged in from all directions, Song Changsheng remained surprisingly calm.

"You're right, a fake is a fake, and it can never compare to the real thing."

But the line between truth and falsehood isn't always so clear!

With a flash of cold light, Song Changsheng cut his palm, and the blood, sparkling with starlight, fell onto the gleaming blade of the Chengyuan Sword.

After drinking his fill of blood, his connection with the [Chengyuan Sword] deepened further, and the dragon of destiny reformed.

"【The Third Killing Formation Under Heaven】, activate!"

"hold head high--"

The moment the great array within his body was activated, the dragon of destiny roared and rushed into his body.

Centered on Song Changsheng, countless golden array patterns appeared out of thin air, revealing the [Third Killing Array in the World] engraved within his body.

He couldn't have done this with his original strength, but the power of destiny perfectly made up for it.

Only now did he understand why so many people in the world would take the risk of cultivating with the power of destiny. This power was indeed too easy to become addicted to, giving people the illusion that the path to immortality was within easy reach.

Of course, it's possible that it's not just a misperception; when one's fortune accumulates to a certain level, there is indeed a possibility of directly ascending to immortality.

Song Changsheng remained true to himself, controlling the killing formation to frantically absorb the baleful energy and resentment contained in the sea of ​​blood, and even the demonic energy was not spared.

Before the "Third Killing Array Under Heaven," which has committed endless slaughter, these things are only fit to become its nourishment.

The originally menacing demons, upon sensing that astonishing killing intent, immediately fled frantically like startled birds, only to be slain by the sword intent unleashed by the killing formation, becoming nourishment for the formation.

"Such a strong killing intent." Blood Gu's mind sharpened, and an ominous premonition immediately arose.

With the formation complete, Song Changsheng had no more worries and swallowed a pill that emitted an enticing fragrance.

The moment the pill entered the mouth, it transformed into an extremely pure force of law. After circulating through the meridians, it gathered in the middle dantian, completely enveloping the twelve cyclones of golden cores, and then fell into the Purple Mansion Furnace together.

The furnace roared, frantically absorbing all the energy around it.

Song Changsheng tossed out over a thousand high-grade spirit stones with a wave of his sleeve. The immense spiritual energy contained within them was almost instantly drained, flowing into the Purple Mansion Furnace to begin refining the golden core within.

"【Nascent Soul Pill】?"

Only then did the Blood Gu realize that Song Changsheng had actually chosen to forcibly break through to the Nascent Soul stage under such circumstances, a ridiculous act that was simply unheard of.

But the thought that he was facing a rare fake infant cultivator filled him with a strong sense of crisis. A voice in his mind kept telling him that he had to take immediate action.

"Great Divine Power [Blood Sea Raging]!"

At this moment, the Blood Gu no longer cared about possessing another body. Waves of blood surged towards Song Changsheng, attempting to nip him in the bud.

Little did anyone know that the true power of the Chengyuan Sword was only fully revealed after Song Changsheng stopped caring about the consumption of his Qi and Luck!
"Chong-"

The sword flashed across the sky, the pure sword intent of the [Third Killing Formation Under Heaven] gathered on the blade, and with a single slash, a thousand waves surged back, almost tearing the entire sea of ​​blood in two.

At this moment, the Blood Gu, under the corrosive influence of the evil energy, had gradually lost its rationality and began to launch a fierce attack regardless of everything. However, it could not threaten Song Changsheng in the slightest in the face of the vast power of fortune in the Southwest Nine Realms.

As time went by, the blood gu's consciousness gradually became blurred, its malevolent energy began to grow, its true spirit was eroded, and it eventually went completely insane.

His consciousness was completely extinguished, leaving only a strong killing instinct that stirred up trouble in the sea of ​​blood, increasing his threat to Song Changsheng rather than decreasing it.

Within the Demon Realm, the six Demon Lords gathered together, closely watching this unprecedented war that would determine the future of the six Demon Kingdoms.

The battle took place within the realm of Dao principles. Although they couldn't see it very clearly, they could still see that the Blood Gu had recovered its Nascent Soul cultivation.

No matter how monstrous Song Changsheng is, he can't possibly defeat a Nascent Soul cultivator.

In their view, it was only a matter of time before the Blood Gu killed Song Changsheng.

But as time went by, an ominous premonition gradually emerged in my heart.

"That useless Blood Gu, can't even handle a mere Golden Core cultivator?" Thunder Lord cursed angrily, wishing he could take matters into his own hands.

The other demon lords also looked grim. Even the weakest Nascent Soul True Lord was still a Nascent Soul cultivator, enough to crush any Golden Core cultivator. The fact that the battle had not been resolved for so long must mean that some unknown event had occurred.

If even a blood gu that has restored its Nascent Soul cultivation level cannot kill Song Changsheng, then when this prodigy truly grows up, they can hardly imagine how terrifying an opponent he will be.

If they could, they would love to personally nip this future enemy in the bud.

Unfortunately, due to the restrictions of the ancient oath, they were destined to be mere spectators in this battle...

At this moment, within the Daoist domain, no matter how frantically the maddened blood gu attacked, the [Chengyuan Sword] and the [Third Killing Formation Under Heaven] steadily withstood it.

Song Changsheng shattered another thousand high-grade spirit stones. Under the influence of the Purple Mansion Furnace, the power of the [Nascent Soul Pill] perfectly fused with his golden core. Spiderweb-like cracks began to appear on the smooth and round surface, and dazzling golden light shone through the cracks.

When the golden elixir shattered, it left behind an "infant" with indistinct facial features.

Supported by the Heavenly Tree, it surged straight up to the Niwan Palace in the dantian...
