The spiritual energy was restored, and he became a mortal immortal in two days.

Chen Xuan casually slapped the Blood Sacrifice Demon Lord, sending him flying so hard his head was tilted to the side.

Even Ye Li, who was mentally prepared, was secretly astonished by this scene.

She had considered many possibilities, but she never expected it to be like this.

The opponent is a reincarnated demon lord, and with the blessing of the Blood Moon Formation, he is infinitely close to the Golden Core stage.

Even with such strength, he couldn't withstand a slap from Chen Xuan?

"you……"

Xue Ji was sent flying hundreds of feet away, crashing into a deep pit in the mountain wall. Half of his cheek was swollen, and broken teeth mixed with blood fell out.

He leaned against the wall to get up, his eyes filled with horror and overwhelming shame and indignation.

Having lived two lives and reached the half-step Golden Core stage, he could use an array to contend with Xu Songyan, yet he was severely injured by a casual palm strike, almost having his head knocked off.

The arrogance and contempt he had shown just moments before now felt like invisible steel knives, scraping his flesh mercilessly.

"You forced me to do this!"

Shame and anger consumed all reason.

Blood Silence Demon Lord activated the sacrificial seal, burning his own divine soul to draw upon the remaining energy of the great formation.

The crimson array patterns underground suddenly blazed brightly, and the blood moon in the sky abruptly revived.

A boundless crimson disc plummeted downwards, pressing lower and lower, its blood-red moonlight cascading down like a waterfall, directly pouring into his body.

The power of the Blood Moon forcefully broke through the half-step shackles, and in an instant, the Golden Core Dao Foundation was formed.

A phantom image of a vast sea of ​​blood appeared behind him.

A terrifying aura swept in, withering vegetation, stagnating spiritual veins, and even causing the long-range guidance light lock to twist and disintegrate.

Blood Silence's golden core surged with ferocious power, his eyes widened in a savage rage, and his voice was filled with a mad, murderous intent:

"Borrowing the crimson moon to forge a golden elixir, today I will surely suppress your soul and cast you into the endless blood hell!"

A huge blood moon hung almost overhead, staining the entire world a grim, blood-red hue.

This is the true power of the Blood Moon Formation!

"The true Blood Moon Formation is complete; Qingcheng is beyond saving."

Xu Songyan loosened his grip on Ye Li's back, his piercing gaze fixed on her. "Agree to my conditions now, and I'll take action. I'm still 50% confident I can rescue the people."

An Changmin clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging into his flesh. "Ye Li, we need to make a decision. We can't deal with the Blood Moon Formation by Chen Xuan alone."

Golden Core is Golden Core, and Foundation Establishment is Foundation Establishment; the two should not be confused at all.

The gap between major realms creates a difference in strength that is like an insurmountable chasm.

Ye Li did not answer, but stared intently at Chen Xuan.

Even now, Chen Xuan's expression remained unchanged.

"The Golden Core Demon Lord is right before us... Chen Xuan, where exactly does your confidence and assurance come from...?"

She muttered to herself, even if she racked her brains, she couldn't figure out how Chen Xuan could win.

"Kid, you've pushed me to this point; you have every reason to be proud."

"But let's put this farce to rest."

The Blood Demon Lord's body slowly rose into the air, bathed in the light of the enormous blood moon. His power reached its peak, and a continuous stream of blood moon power surged into his body.

"Thirty percent."

"I only have a 30% chance now, at most I can protect a few hundred thousand people."

Xu Songyan continued speaking, applying sustained pressure.

Snapped!

Under immense pressure, cold sweat dripped from An Changmin's forehead onto the ground. "We can't wait any longer. I'll hand over jurisdiction now. You'd better hurry..."

"Wait, Prefect!"

Ye Li suddenly spoke up to stop her.

"What time is it? We can't hesitate any longer. Every second we're a second later means another death..."

"Chen Xuan, he's moved."

Ye Li interrupted An Changmin, her gaze fixed on what was ahead.

Under the blood moon, the man's face remained calm, showing no sign of panic.

"It's time to end it."

"Staying up late is bad for your health."

Chen Xuan glanced at the time; it was time to sleep, and he couldn't continue playing around like this.

"They're about to die, and they still don't realize it!"

Bloodlust Demon Lord roared in fury.

A blood moon hangs in the sky, and crimson light covers the world.

His eyes were bloodshot, and madness surged within them as he unleashed a palm strike.

A torrent of blood surged across the sky, countless vengeful spirits howled and fought, and all the murderous aura was concentrated in this one palm strike.

The oppressive atmosphere caused the mountains and rivers to murmur, and the wind and clouds to fall silent.

This was a genuine strike from the Golden Core stage, enough to overturn the entire Qingcheng Mountain.

Faced with overwhelming forces, Chen Xuan stood still, his figure as solitary and serene as an immortal banished from the moon.

He neither dodges, nor flinches, nor gathers any momentum.

He simply raised his hand slowly, one hand covering the blood-red full moon hanging low in the sky.

"Are you trying to crush the Blood Moon with that movement?" Blood Silence Demon Lord sneered.

Suddenly, his laughter froze.

Because next to the blood moon in the sky, a phantom image of a giant hand reaching for the sky actually appeared, blotting out the sun.

Immediately, he brought his five fingers together.

Click!

The enormous crimson moon, hanging over the human world and seemingly an eternally indestructible wheel, suddenly developed spiderweb-like cracks that spread from its center.

"Why not?"

Chen Xuan remained indifferent, then clenched his fist and shattered the moon with one hand.

Everyone's breath hitched.

The crimson moonlight suddenly froze at that moment, until a loud bang was heard.

The seemingly indestructible Blood Moon itself crumbled inch by inch, collapsing layer by layer.

The dazzling blood-red sky has completely faded away.

The sky was filled with malevolent mist, countless vengeful spirits, and the Daoist aura of the blood moon... including the golden core power borrowed by the Blood Silence Demon Lord, all of which vanished in an instant along with the blood moon.

Immediately afterwards, the great formation collapsed, and the demonic form dissipated.

Blood Silence Demon Lord froze in mid-air, his pupils shrinking, his face filled with utter despair and disbelief.

Chen Xuan lowered his hand and waved it, and the clear moonlight fell back to earth.

At this moment, all was silent, except for a single, indifferent voice that slowly rang out:

"Borrowed heavens, yet they dare to oppress me?"

boom!

Even Xu Songyan, a true Golden Core cultivator, could not break the Blood Moon Formation, but it suddenly collapsed in Chen Xuan's grasp of the void.

The blood-red net woven above Qingcheng was like an ordinary spider web, easily torn clean by human hands.

What's even more outrageous is that Chen Xuan looked disgusted, as if he felt his hands were dirty, and wiped them repeatedly on Xue Ye's clothes.

Ye Li's mouth was slightly open, but she was completely unable to speak.

Standing in front of the giant electronic screen, An Changmin was struck dumb, as if by lightning.

The huge command room was completely silent; everyone looked dazed and lost in thought.

The moment the blood moon shattered, all the borrowed power of the Golden Core in the world vanished instantly.

boom!

The golden core that the Blood Silence Demon Lord had forcibly condensed shattered with a roar.

His meridians rotted away inch by inch, his sea of ​​consciousness shattered, and his entire cultivation foundation was completely ruined by the backlash from the collapse of the Blood Moon.

His suspended body suddenly lost its strength and plummeted, his knees slamming heavily onto the bluestone ground.

Boom!

A deep, resounding thud shook the crowd.

The Blood Demon Lord's back was stiff, his blood-red robe was tattered, and fine blood mist kept oozing from his body. Every inch of his bones was crumbling in excruciating pain.

He looked up at the white-clad figure standing as still as a mountain.

The rage and ferocity of moments before have all transformed into a bone-chilling coldness and deathly silence.

The Blood Moon Array, which they were so proud of; the crimson lineage; the Golden Core power that allowed them to ascend to prominence...

It vanished in the blink of an eye with a mere flick of the wrist.

Having cultivated for two lifetimes, slaughtered countless sects, and used blood sacrifice as his path, he was infamous and had never felt such despair.

Powerless, unable to resist, with nowhere to escape.

Blood Silence Demon Lord's shoulders trembled violently, and the ferocity in his eyes was completely extinguished, leaving only utter defeat and deathly silence.

"Who...who are you...?"

"Why...why...why could the Blood Moon Array be shattered so easily..."

Chen Xuan stretched and asked, "You mean this formation?"

"I've crushed them before, so crushing them now is just a piece of cake, isn't it?"

Upon hearing this...

Blood Silence Demon Lord suddenly froze, his pupils contracted sharply, and a forbidden scene from the depths of his memory surged forth.

He looked up at Chen Xuan, his voice trembling with even more fear than before:

"You...you are that person's reincarnation?!"

The tone was so high, the voice so trembling, it was unbelievable, unparalleled.

[In the 410th year of the Sword Dao Era, the Immortal Sect and the Demon Sect joined forces to suppress the flourishing Heavenly Phoenix Dynasty.]

Beside Empress Wu Minghuang, a white-robed minister stepped forward, his left hand pointing a sword and his right hand forming a fist, forcing all the sects in the world to bow down in submission.
