Summoning the Gods: Start by creating the Eternal Night.

Cangzhou, the council hall of the Nine Nether Demon Sect.

Mo Tianchou strode into the hall and bowed, saying:

"Reporting to Master, the Demon-Slaying Alliance has split into three groups, with top forces traveling in pairs, and they are heading towards our sect."

"At their current pace, they will reach the outer edge of the Nine Nether Abyss in less than two hours."

He reported back the messages from his scouts one by one, including the distribution of the allied forces and the names of the various commanders.

The Blood Demon Ancestor sat enthroned on his throne, his crimson eyes flickering, and asked, "How are the preparations for the Blood Soul Array progressing?"

"Reporting to Master, the Blood Soul Formation has been set up properly," Mo Tianchou replied hastily.

"I have also added illusion arrays around several key points of the grand formation, nested layer upon layer, which will surely ensure that those so-called Demon-Slaying Alliance cultivators never return!"

"Hehehe...Good!" The Blood Demon Ancestor let out a piercing laugh.

"As expected of the disciple I've chosen, he's very thoughtful."

As they were talking, Xue Wutian strode in, holding a bright red herb that exuded a strong bloody aura.

"There's no need for Tianchou to worry." Xue Wutian looked at Mo Tianchou, a hint of arrogance flashing in his eyes.

"This Blood Soul Formation can not only trap enemies inside, but also continuously devour the spiritual power and essence of intruders."

"Once their spiritual power is exhausted, they will turn into a pool of blood, which will both reinforce the great formation and nourish me and your master."

"No matter how many people come this time, we will be invincible!"

Having said that, he handed the Blood Soul Grass to the Blood Demon Ancestor:

"Brother, here is the Blood Soul Grass you requested. Take it quickly; it will help repair some of the damage to your soul."

The Blood Demon Ancestor took the Blood Soul Grass and swallowed it without hesitation.

A gentle spiritual energy instantly spread out, slowly nourishing his damaged soul.

Although he was fortunate enough to be reborn through possession, his soul had already been damaged in the great battle with Qianlong. Over the years, he had only managed to suppress it with the help of secret techniques, and his strength was less than one-tenth of what it used to be.

A moment later, the Blood Demon Ancestor slowly opened his eyes, sensing the changes within his body, and nodded in satisfaction:

"We've recovered to about 60%, which is enough to handle this major battle."

"Once I absorb the souls and blood essence of those cultivators, I will be completely cured!"

He looked at Mo Tianchou: "Tianchou, pass down the order to make everyone in the sect ready."

Once the Demon-Slaying Alliance cultivators step into the heart of the abyss, the Blood Soul Array will be activated!

"Yes, Master!" Mo Tianchou accepted the order and turned to leave.

Soon, the demonic cultivators of the Nine Nether Demonic Sect received the order.

In a secluded valley at the edge of the abyss, Elder Minghe addressed his demonic cultivators in a deep voice:

"The Demon-Slaying Alliance is almost here, everyone hide well! Wait until they enter the Blood Soul Formation and their spiritual energy is almost depleted, then unleash a fierce attack!"

He licked his lips, his eyes gleaming with bloodlust: "The ancestor has decreed that this time you may drink blood without restraint."

"The essence blood of those cultivators is a rare and precious treasure that can greatly increase your strength!"

"Yes, Elder!"

The demon cultivators responded in unison, their eyes filled with greed and excitement. Many of them even couldn't help but lick their lips, as if they could already smell the scent of blood.

Chi Yuan stood to one side, touching her temple, her eyes filled with seductive charm:

"I wonder what the essence blood of a Celestial Realm cultivator tastes like; it must be indescribably wonderful."

"I hope I'll have the chance to try it this time."

In the past, she and Minghe mostly absorbed the essence and blood of Grandmasters and Void Realm cultivators, which could enhance their strength, but had little effect on them who were at the Celestial Realm.

Only essence blood of a higher level can allow them to advance their cultivation to a higher level.

……

Meanwhile, at the entrance to the Nine Nether Abyss.

The three allied armies are cautiously advancing into the heart of the Nine Nether Abyss.

中路

"Reporting to the Alliance Leader, we are approaching the territory of the Nine Nether Abyss."

A shadow guard quickly walked up to Qian Tian, ​​knelt down and reported.

Looking up, Qian Tian saw that half of the sky ahead was as black as ink, and the other half was as red as blood.

Demonic energy and blood energy intertwined and churned, forming eerie vortexes that exuded a chilling aura.

He knew in his heart that since the Nine Nether Demon Sect dared to wait in comfort, they must have set a trap.

But now the arrow is on the bowstring, and it must be released.

Moreover, in his view, as long as one is strong enough, any conspiracy or trickery is futile.

As for those cultivators who might sacrifice themselves... what does it matter if some die for his eternal name?

"Keep moving forward!" Qian Tian said decisively, without the slightest hesitation.

"Yes, Alliance Leader!"

The allied forces continued to penetrate deeper, and the further they went, the more eerie and terrifying the environment became.

The ground was covered with mummified corpses, their limbs twisted as if they had suffered great pain before they died;

"Huff huff..."

A chilling wind howled, carrying faint, mournful cries that sent shivers down one's spine.

"Click..."

With a crisp sound, a desiccated corpse dressed in red fell from a dead tree, landing right in front of a Grandmaster cultivator who was scouting ahead.

The dried-up corpse had empty eyes and a gaping mouth, as if it were silently mocking someone.

"Ah, a ghost!" The grandmaster turned pale with fright, screamed, and turned to run away.

"Those who disrupt morale shall die!"

A flash of cold light appeared, and a Great Qian Shadow Guard drew his sword, instantly cleaving the fleeing cultivator in two.

Blood splattered on the surrounding rogue cultivators, frightening them into silence, and they dared not make the slightest move.

The Shadow Guard's gaze swept over the crowd, his icy eyes sending chills down their spines: "You, go scout ahead."

The person whose name was called was a middle-aged cultivator. His face turned pale, and he knelt down with a thud.

"Sir, I have eighty children to support and an elderly mother crying for food. Please, find someone else!"

"puff!"

Before he could finish speaking, he was stabbed through the chest by a Shadow Guard, and blood gushed out.

The Shadow Guard sheathed his longsword and looked at another cultivator: "You, go forward and scout ahead."

The cultivator trembled all over, daring not to hesitate any longer, and moved forward step by step with trembling legs.

The allied forces advanced slowly amidst fear and oppression, the surrounding demonic energy growing heavier and the stench of blood in the air becoming increasingly intense.

"Sobbing...sobbing...sobbing..."

Strange noises occasionally came from the shadows, startling everyone.

Hidden in the mountain hollow, Chi Yuan peered through the cracks in the demonic energy and saw the whole scene clearly, a mocking smile playing on her lips:

"These righteous cultivators will start killing each other first, saving us the trouble of doing it ourselves."

Minghe sneered, "A bunch of useless trash. Once they step into the core of the Blood Soul Formation, let's see how we deal with them."

Inside the Nine Nether Demon Sect.

Upon receiving the message from Minghe and the others, Mo Tianchou whispered to the Blood Demon Ancestor beside him:

"Master, Minghe reports that most of the three groups from the Demon-Slaying Alliance have entered the Abyss area. Is it time to activate the Blood Soul Array?"

The Blood Demon Ancestor closed his eyes, his divine sense spreading out like a tide, carefully probing the location of the allied forces.

A moment later, he opened his eyes and shook his head:

"Wait a little longer. Their main figures are still behind and haven't fully entered the formation's range yet."

"Wait until everyone has fallen into the trap before activating the grand formation, ensuring a complete wipeout!"

"I'll lead the Netherworld to deal with the Alliance cultivators in the middle lane."

"Second brother, you take Leng Ming and Luo Mie to guard the left position."

"Tianchou, you, Chiyuan and Minghe, will guard the right flank."

"Once the enemy tries to break the formation, immediately thwart their actions."

Xue Wutian and Mo Tianchou nodded: "Yes, elder brother (Master)."
