Honghuang Taihuang

Chapter 136 Battle

These newly sentient beasts lack any corresponding divine abilities or techniques, and are still using their former killing instincts as beasts to fight their enemies.

Such methods are utterly ineffective against Youquan, who possesses the Blood Demon Dao, a top-tier Dao of Heaven and Earth, has mastered countless demonic supernatural powers, and has even refined his natal magic weapon, the Returning Void Sword Sheath.

boom!!

Suddenly, a beam of divine light descended from the sky, engulfing Youquan's figure, and the beautiful blood light almost vanished in that instant.

A pale cloak fluttered in the wind as the Taotie slowly flew out of the pit. Covered in blood, the fiery copper brows furrowed slightly. With his left hand outstretched, beams of soul-burying divine light pierced out, shattering several blood-red sword lights in front of him.

"Finally, someone a little more powerful has arrived. Are you the King of the Western Rong Domain that that good-for-nothing was talking about?"

Blood rivers surged around Youquan's body. Looking at the indifferent Taotie in front of him, his expression became slightly solemn. Just as he had estimated, the Taotie in front of him was almost a top-level Primordial True Saint.

Furthermore, with the Heavenly Burial Dao Diagram within Taotie capable of drawing upon the essence of all the ferocious beasts in the Western Rong Domain, its power is comparable to that of the Supreme Treasure of the Void. Youquan is certainly no match for Taotie.

However, if Youquan wants to gain some autonomy after joining the Western Rong royal court, it must demonstrate its own strength here. Not to mention defeating Taotie, it must at least let Taotie know that Youquan's strength is enough to sweep away the entire Western Rong domain except for him.

"Didn't you tell me to come by myself? Now that I'm here, let me see if you have the power to make me personally invite you."

The pale divine light of the Heavenly Burial around Taotie exploded instantly, and countless pale divine lights fell from the sky. Similarly, at the feet of Youquan, surging true blood river water rose up like a waterfall.

Pale and crimson collided tens of millions of times in an instant. Taotie remained motionless, its face indifferent. The heavy blood light in front of Youquan exploded and was easily torn apart by the erosion and penetration of the Heavenly Burial Divine Light.

Blood surged, white light rose, and Youquan and Taotie exchanged a glance, already seeing the burning fighting spirit in each other's eyes.

Behind Youquan, endless crimson curtains slowly rose. Youquan spread his five fingers, and the terrifying power of the Hundred-Fin Giant Kun and the true meaning of the Blood Demon Dao were perfectly combined.

Youquan spread his five fingers, and the sky and earth were suddenly covered by a clear blood light. Boundless blood surged and raged, and a giant handprint covered with blood rivers and blood lotuses appeared out of thin air, carrying boundless blood flames as it slammed into Taotie.

The Demon King's clone has three Dao Fruits: the Nether Spring Dao Fruit, the Spiritual Treasure Embryo: the Return to the Void Sword Sheath, and the Luo Tian Divine Power: the Five Forms of the Blood Sea Great Handprint. At this moment, the Nether Spring is actually using the first form of the Five Forms of the Blood Sea Great Handprint, the Refining Heaven Great Handprint!

This is a demonic hand seal corresponding to the essence of the physical body. Any living being or cultivator who comes into contact with this hand seal will have their essence, blood, and vitality completely devoured and fed back into Youquan's body.

The moment the Heaven-Refining Great Handprint was unleashed, Taotie also felt an extreme threat. A pale bone spear appeared in its hand, and a long rainbow ripped through the sky, tearing apart the vast and boundless Heaven-Refining Great Handprint.

However, amidst the shimmering blood, Youquan's right hand had completely turned blood-red, and his figure suddenly appeared in front of Taotie. His blood-red right hand, carrying a violent force, slammed into the pale bone spear that was blocking Taotie's path.

With a deafening roar, the pale divine light surrounding Taotie flickered and collapsed. In terms of physical strength alone, even as the lord of the Western ferocious beasts, he was no match for the Hundred-Finned Giant Kun. In fact, there were very few beings in the entire prehistoric world who could rival the Hundred-Finned Giant Kun in terms of physical power.

Youquan's blood-red right hand crushed the streaks of Heavenly Burial Divine Light that pierced through him, while blood-red light appeared on his left hand at the same time. He threw a punch, and ripples spread through the void. The terrifying power forced Taotie to retreat again and again.

However, soon, accompanied by strange soul fluctuations rippling in the void, Youquan, who was about to give chase, trembled. At this moment, the Blood River Primordial Spirit in the Purple Mansion splashed up countless waves, and the world before his eyes seemed to become distorted and dreamlike.

Countless blood lotuses rose from the Netherworld Purple Mansion, suppressing the turbulent Blood River Primordial Spirit within. Its blood-red eyes regained their clarity, and its blood-red hands slammed out in front of it, the magnificent blood-red radiance once again blasting back the pale bone spear in front of the Taotie.

This time, however, Taotie only took half a step back. Youquan noticed the giant Kun with a hundred fins that flashed past behind Taotie.

Clearly, Taotie, as the lord of billions of ferocious beasts in the Western Rong Domain, has already borrowed the power of other hundred-finned giant Kun in the Western Rong Domain to counter the terrifying power of Youquan.

The blood-red hand surrounding the Heaven-Refining Great Handprint is extremely fierce and indestructible, while the pale bone spear is forged from the essence of countless ferocious beasts and divine metals of heaven and earth. In terms of hardness, it is no less than a treasure of creation.

A series of violent ripples of primordial energy and booming sounds rang out one after another. Youquan and Taotie's figures flickered uncertainly in the sky. The Refining Heaven Handprint clashed head-on with the Pale Bone Spear. Youquan unleashed a series of fist imprints with both hands, and the Pale Bone Spear was deflected by Youquan time and time again.

However, as time passed, the power of Youquan itself no longer posed much of a threat to Taotie. On Taotie's body, the origins of various top-tier ferocious beasts in the Western Rong Domain that were skilled in the way of physical strength, such as the Hundred-Finned Giant Kun, the Great Mang Qingniu, the Vast Sea Dragon Carp, and the Sky-Moving Dragon Elephant, converged into Taotie.

At this time, Taotie's physical strength had gradually approached that of Youquan, and even surpassed Youquan by a trace. However, Taotie was still unable to perfectly integrate the origins of these many ferocious beasts, so the battle between Youquan and Taotie could only be considered a draw.

Of course, Youquan knew that Taotie wanted to subdue him with absolute strength. Otherwise, given Taotie's own attainments in the path of the soul, Youquan would never have been able to fight Taotie to this point where there was no clear winner.

With a roar of blood, Youquan's figure transformed into a long rainbow, piercing through the Heavenly Burial Divine Light that pierced down in front of him. He then formed a sword with his right hand, and a blood river sword light blocked the pale bone spear that was slashing down from Taotie's hand.

With a slight tremor, Youquan let out a clear shout, and his natal magic weapon, the Guixu Sword Sheath, finally appeared at this moment. With a flick of his right hand, the deep blood light in the Guixu Sword Bridge bloomed, devouring all the heavenly burial divine light that was tearing through the sky.

Holding the Guixu Sword in his hand, Youquan's aura surged once more. He placed the Blood River True Water Rong into the Guixu Sword Sheath, and after a very short period of gestation, streaks of fierce, blood-red sword light burst forth from the Guixu Sword Sheath.

With the Guixu sword sheath in hand, Youquan began the second round of battle with Taotie. Streams of blood-red sword light that tore through the sky severed the pale Heavenly Burial Divine Light, but in the next instant, thousands upon thousands of Heavenly Burial Divine Lights pierced through Youquan's body like shooting stars.
