Chapter 312 Blood Demon Formation

His eyes were tightly closed, and his divine light was not visible, but every speck of dust in the entire secret room was reflected in Zhong Lin's mind. Even the texture of the rocks under his feet was clearly visible, which was incomparable to what the naked eye could see.

With a thought, he continued to probe towards the Dragon-Breaking Stone. In a moment, he actually penetrated the stone gate several feet away.

"The divine consciousness covers an area of ten feet, not bad."

Zhong Lin slowly opened his eyes, his eyes full of satisfaction.

After breaking through the Soul Condensation Realm, many magical things began to appear, such as the divine consciousness, which was the most intuitive manifestation, as if it was a fusion of the five senses, which can be seen, heard, smelled, touched, tasted, and known.

The perception range of the initial stage of the Soul Yun Realm is ten feet, which means that everything within ten feet cannot be hidden from Zhong Lin. If used in battle, he can be invincible by nature. Compared with others, it is like having a pair of eyes behind his head.

"I'm getting more and more like a cultivator, or perhaps it's like saying that all paths lead to the same destination."

Zhong Lin touched his chin and muttered to himself.

"Next, I will create my own natal spiritual weapon, and then absorb it into the Soul Palace to nourish it with soul power. I also need to think carefully about what weapon I will use in the future."

Zhong Lin, in a good mood, didn't think for long. He snapped his fingers and activated the mechanism. As the Dragon-Breaking Stone rose, rays of sunlight shone in.

"Ok?"

Suddenly, Zhong Lin's face changed. He strode out of the secret room and looked up at the sky.

However, the sky, which should have been blue, was now covered by blood clouds, like a huge bowl, enveloping the entire Seven Star Sect.

"what's the situation?"

Zhong Lin looked at the blood-colored light shield above his head in a daze. How come the sky changed color as soon as he came out of seclusion?

With a step, he flew into the air and in an instant he arrived at the light curtain.

A ray of sword energy burst out from the fingertips and hit the light curtain heavily. Then the light curtain shook and shattered the sword energy there, but the light curtain itself did not change at all.

"This……"

Zhong Lin's face finally changed, and a sense of conspiracy surged in his heart.

There were screams coming from afar, and a strong smell of blood coming from Jinfang Mountain.

"Not good, Junior Brother."

Zhong Lin's face changed drastically and he flew towards Jin Fangshan quickly.

Before getting close, a pungent smell of blood rushed into the nose, making people feel like vomiting.

When Zhong Lin flew to the Golden Palace, he saw all kinds of corpses everywhere, and the thick blood gathered into a river. The bloody smell came from here.

What shocked Zhong Lin the most was the identities of these corpses. Some were disciples of the Seven Stars Sect, and some were from major island forces who came to pay their respects. But now they were all killed, regardless of their forces or identities.

Rumble!
"Hahaha, I didn't expect that a little rat like you would hide in my Seven Star Sect. It really is effortless to get it."

"Hmph! Fenglan Sword Lord, I never thought you would actually practice evil techniques and attempt to use magic to break through. Aren't you afraid that the Heavenly Sword Holy Land will kill you?"

Zhong Lin looked up with a serious expression, only to see two people standing above his head. One of them was Feng Lan Jianjun who had already "passed away".

The other man was wearing a black robe and had an ordinary expression on his face. His cultivation was only at the Soul Condensation Realm, but in his hand he held a dark black iron rod, from which a violent aura emanated.

"Xuantian Stick? Is that little thief?"

Although Zhong Lin had never seen the black iron stick before, he was very familiar with it. It was clearly the Xuantian Stick, which was the root cause of the conflict between the Falling Star Islands and the Sea Ape Clan.

Several years ago, a bandit intruded into the Sea Ape Clan's territory, slaughtered numerous of their powerful warriors, and stole the most precious heirloom, the Mysterious Heavenly Staff, from their forbidden grounds. This incident sparked a war between the Sea Ape Clan and warriors from the Falling Star Islands. While the Sea Ape Clan was completely annihilated in the battle at the harbor, the Falling Star Islands also suffered heavy casualties.

After the war, the thief who stole the treasure disappeared, and the Xuantian Stick also disappeared without a trace. It was thought that the thief had left the Luoxing Islands, but unexpectedly he was still here and even ran to the Qixing Sect.

Above the void, Fenglan Sword Lord took a sudden step forward.

Rumble!
The powerful aura that was as tangible as substance swept across wantonly, shaking all directions, and slapped towards the treasure thief with a palm.

boom!
The green spiritual energy vibrated, sweeping up the air like a mad tide, and transformed into a ten-foot-long giant hand.

"Well done."

The treasure thief showed no fear on his face. He raised the Xuantian stick in his hand and smashed it directly into the air.

Rumble!
The giant palm and the iron rod collided with each other, and the air within a few miles suddenly exploded. The space was shaking slightly, and layers of it rose up.

The earth shook and the earth cracked.

Horrible beyond imagination.

"As expected of a mysterious weapon, it has such power. Come again."

Fenglan Sword Master looked at a warrior in the Soul Yun Realm who was actually willing to confront him with disdain, and his eyes showed greed.

"I'm afraid you won't make it."

The treasure thief also had a sinister look on his face, and with the help of the power of the Xuantian Stick, he retreated instead of advancing.

In a short while, the two of them fought hundreds of times. The violent force shook the entire sea area of the Seven Star Sect and surged continuously. If it were not for the cover above their heads, it could even cause a huge tsunami.

Zhong Lin ran quickly on Jinfang Mountain, sweeping with his spiritual sense, and soon found Shi Yunyi's location. Not only him, but also Wan Pu was here, and a group of other people.

However, none of them were in a good condition. Some were dead, some were injured, and all of them had a look of despair on their faces.

"Elder Zhong."

"Senior brother."

Seeing Zhong Lin coming, both of them looked delighted and called out directly. Wan Pu also looked at Shi Yunyi in confusion.

"Elder Zhong, I'm glad you're okay."

Wan Pu looked at Zhong Lin in surprise.

"Wan Pu, what exactly happened? How did Feng Lan Sword Lord come back to life? And what's with the blood shield above his head?"

Zhong Lin had too many questions. He had only been in seclusion for two days, so why was the situation outside so drastically changed?

Wan Pu said bitterly, "It's all a conspiracy. Feng Lan Jianjun is not dead. He faked his death to lure us all here. Elder, your guess is correct."

"Be specific."

Wan Pu took a deep breath and said quickly, "Feng Lan Sword Lord faked his death in order to gather many powerful people from the Falling Star Islands. He intended to use the Blood Demon Formation to refine us all and break through to the Xuandan realm."

Zhong Lin was also surprised when he heard this. He had always thought that Feng Lan Jianjun's death was too strange, but he didn't expect that he was waiting here! He actually wanted to capture all the powerful people in the Falling Star Islands in one fell swoop, trying to use the magic array to break through the realm.

Feng Lan Jianjun's cultivation level is half-step Xuan Dan realm. The so-called half-step Xuan Dan means that when breaking through the Xuan Dan realm, one fails because one of the three treasures of essence, energy and spirit is not perfect. However, it also allows one to take a further step and condense Xu Dan.

The Xuandan realm is also known as the foundation of martial arts. The Tao is the embryo, and it is extremely difficult to break through. The three treasures of essence, energy and spirit are indispensable and must be perfect. The so-called half step means that the foundation is insufficient, and only a virtual pill is condensed. It is not a real Xuandan, but it is one level higher than the extraordinary realm.
