Chapter 1268: A Fight to the Death

The piercing cry of swords had rang out everywhere. The ebony sword transformed into the Seven Yin Soul Killing Array, sealing off and subjugating the blood devil incarnation.

The blood devil incarnation neither dodged nor retreated. The Blood Moon Wheel hung above his head, its blood light flashing repeatedly. He did not know that Qin Sang had already used up the Blood Defilement Divine Light, so he remained somewhat wary whenever Qin Sang employed an astra.

A curtain of blood spilled down from the Blood Moon Wheel and circled his body, making it difficult for the sword qi to break through.

The blood devil incarnation had experienced the power of the Seven Yin Soul Killing Array before, and he had gained some insight into how to deal with it. For a time, the sword array could not break him down.

Qin Sang changed his incantation. He withdrew the sword array, and the ebony sword shot back in reverse. Then the Devilish Flames of Nine Hells surged forth in a vast torrent like a vicious dragon, charging out violently.

The instant it came into contact with the Devilish Flames of Nine Hells, the blood devil incarnation sensed that things had turned bad.

Back then, when Qin Sang had controlled the twelve devilish banners, the devilish flames he unleashed had already been formidable, yet they were nowhere near what they were now. The blood devil incarnation felt a lethal threat!

Old Devil Ye had endured countless battles. After only a few exchanges, the blood devil incarnation could already tell that Qin Sang was still somewhat unskilled in controlling the devilish flames and had not yet achieved perfect mastery. Clearly, he had not fully refined them.

As long as he seized an opening and continued to circle around Qin Sang while taking care not to be trapped and killed by the devilish flames, his life should not have been in danger.

But the problem was that he could not retreat. If he gave way, it would only create even greater trouble for the true body.

The blood devil incarnation’s heart sank. At this point, there was only one path left. He had to fight to the death!

Hum... The Blood Moon Wheel seemed like the eye of a sea of blood as endless blood light poured from it.

In an instant, everything around the blood devil incarnation turned into a blood sea. His figure vanished into its center, while layers of blood light rose like real waves. Thunderous roars boomed without end, deafening to the ear.

Even the surrounding blood mist and the blood water of the blood pool were drawn in by the blood sea. The blood qi that had long accumulated here was absorbed into the blood light, amplifying its might.

Seeing this, Qin Sang hurriedly drove the devilish banners. The eighteen devilish banners expanded wildly until each stood three zhang tall, towering in the void as they revolved at high speed around Qin Sang.

Streams of devilish flames shot out and spread across the sky. Black fire blazed everywhere, attaching itself to the edge of the blood sea and burning away the blood light.

Gigantic waves rose within the blood sea, while the devilish flames carried the power to burn the heavens and boil the sea.

In an instant, the spectacle of this battlefield soared to its peak, even surpassing that of Devil Lord Tongyou and Tianzheng. Sensing what was happening here, everyone turned to look.

Old Devil Ye had been famous for a long time. Even if this was only his blood devil incarnation, it was not strange for him to possess such strength. But how long had this Demon King Ming Yue reached the Transformation Realm?

He had first slain a Spiritual Infant in battle, then wreaked havoc in Abyssal Ruin, and later escaped alive from Old Devil Ye’s hands. Those feats alone had already left cultivators of the same level far behind, filling them with shame by comparison.

Now, as he controlled the devilish flames, his momentum was astonishing beyond compare and actually overwhelmed the blood devil incarnation!

At this realm, every step forward was as difficult as ascending to heaven. Yet in only a few short years, this demon had advanced by leaps and bounds and now subjugated the blood devil incarnation. It was simply unbelievable.

How could the onlookers not be shocked? They could only marvel inwardly that another towering figure had emerged from Small Cold Domain. Given a few more years, his fame might well surpass that of Old Devil Ye himself.

Boom! Boom! Where the devilish flames and the blood sea collided, waves of fire and blood shot into the sky. In the end, they were blocked by the ancient barrier of the blood pool. Otherwise, the destruction would have spread far beyond this area.

The blood devil incarnation suffered in silence.

The eighteen devilish banners were truly the most powerful astras he had ever seen. He had no idea where this boy had obtained them. Under the strangling force of the devilish flames, the blood light shattered repeatedly. Even the Blood Moon Wheel could barely endure it.

Qin Sang let out a cold laugh. In his battle against Dongyang Bo, the eighteen devilish banners had displayed terrifying might and had already proven their power.

Had Dongyang Bo not concealed a means of escape, his fate would have been to burn into ashes beneath the devilish flames and die in hatred within the blood river!

Although the blood devil incarnation was strong, he was still outmatched before the eighteen devilish banners. Moreover, unlike Dongyang Bo, his purpose was not to escape. He was wholly focused on stopping Qin Sang and was directly clashing against the devilish flames.

It would now depend on how long he could hold out!

The Blood Moon Wheel shook violently under the terrifying impact.

The blood devil incarnation’s fingers moved like spinning wheels as he rapidly formed seals. Blood qi surged through his body, and the blood light condensed into a strange diagram that flew toward the Blood Moon Wheel. With the blood devil incarnation supporting it, the Blood Moon Wheel stabilized somewhat, but the respite did not last long before signs of instability appeared again.

Seeing this, the blood devil incarnation knew that his calculations had failed. The power of the devilish flames was too terrifying. If this continued, the Blood Moon Wheel would collapse before Qin Sang’s true essence ran out.

After all, the blood devil incarnation was only an incarnation. The true body could spare only limited treasures for him. The Cold-Blooded Divine Needle had already failed, and even the Blood Moon Wheel, which had been refined over many years, was no match for the devilish flames. As for his other treasures, they were even less worth mentioning.

For the first time, he felt utterly at the end of his rope. With a silent sigh, he suddenly lowered his eyelids and formed a strange hand seal.

In the next instant, blood light erupted from the blood devil incarnation’s body.

Bang! The blood devil incarnation suddenly vanished and split into three, becoming three blood shadows.

This was some kind of Blood Dao secret technique, similar to a devilish-path body-dissolution technique, and the price was enormous. Yet when the three blood shadows joined forces to activate the Blood Moon Wheel together, it actually held steady under the assault of the devilish flames.

Qin Sang was secretly alarmed by the sight. Old Devil Ye’s have countless methods. Even a mere incarnation is so difficult to handle. I can hardly imagine how powerful the true body must be. Can Senior Sister really hold him off?

Though he was anxious, there was nothing else he could do. The eighteen devilish banners were already his strongest method. If even this could not force the blood devil incarnation back, then his other options would be even less effective.

Still, a secret technique like this would certainly overdraw potential and inflict severe damage on vitality. It could not last long.

Qin Sang immediately held nothing back. He pushed his spiritual consciousness and true essence to the limit and fully activated the eighteen devilish banners. Wave after wave of devilish flames surged ever higher, endless and unceasing, crashing madly against the blood light.

Rumble... Qin Sang, together with the devilish banners, also fled into the sea of devilish flames and charged forward violently.

Soon, the three blood shadows indeed began to waver. Even so, the blood devil incarnation continued to hold on in desperate resistance.

A sudden disturbance arose at the center of the blood pool. A loud splash rang out as a figure burst from the water.

This sudden change caught everyone by surprise, and all attention was drawn toward that figure. It seemed the outcome beneath the blood water had already been decided. No one knew who had emerged victorious in the end.

But when they saw the figure clearly, everyone was stunned. It was a jade skeleton with withered flesh!

"So this is that ancient cultivator who has survived until now? How bizarre. He is still alive in such a state? But where are the three who went down just now? Have they all been..." Everyone saw only the jade skeleton and none of Old Devil Ye or the others, and shock immediately rose in their hearts.

The ancient cultivator’s supernatural abilities were unfathomable.

Sin Abyss had mobilized so many people for two reasons. First, they needed to work together to break open the seal and the blood gate. Second, they had to prevent the ancient cultivator from killing them after being released. No one had expected Small Cold Domain to interfere, leaving only Old Devil Ye to slip into the blood pool alone.

Had the thing they feared most truly happened? Cultivators on both sides felt deeply unsettled.

Immediately afterward, several rays of light flew out after the jade skeleton. Looking closely, they were the Fivefold Tower, the Yin-Yang Dagger-Axes, the Lightning Thought Orb, and other astras.

The astras circled around the jade skeleton and fought continuously.

The jade skeleton still maintained his cross-legged posture, motionless, allowing the force of the astras to drag him about chaotically as they fought over him. Yet there was still no sign that he had revived.

Seeing this, everyone secretly let out a breath of relief, but they also became even more puzzled.
