Chapter Summary
However, upon hearing Xu Yan suggesting Blood Extreme cease attempting to replace him, the Blood Demon, who was ready to burn his Origin, stopped, looking at Xu Yan with some surprise. "Blood Demon was also curious what strength Blood Extreme had achieved after taking over the Jade Person, and how Xu Yan managed to let Blood Extreme replace the Jade Person so effortlessly. Xu Yan watched their fight for a while and, after confirming that Blood Extreme had fully taken over the Jade Puppet and his...
Blood Extreme's excited voice arose, and the face of the Blood Demon drastically changed as his heart sank to the bottom of the valley.
"Young Master Xu, it's me, Blood Extreme!
"Blood Extreme's Divine Soul emerged a bit from the head of the Blood Demon.
Xu Yan raised an eyebrow, suddenly getting an idea.
He took out the Prime Tortoise Carapace, "You two catch up, I'll have a chat with the Blood Demon!
"A bamboo stick extended out of the Prime Tortoise Carapace, and Qing Yu's voice rang out, "Witch, long time no see!
"The Prime Tortoise Carapace floated in front of the Witch.
The Witch's face was a mix of shock and disbelief, "Qing Yu, how could you?
""It's a long story...
"Qing Yu and the Witch caught up, sharing their experiences after the great battle and simultaneously exchanging some information about the time of the battle.
On the other side, the Blood Demon was frantically trying to fight for control, struggling fiercely with Blood Extreme, even preparing to burn his own Origin, determined not to give Blood Extreme any advantage, even if it meant death.
"Blood Extreme, have you failed to replace him?
"Xu Yan watched the struggle between Blood Extreme and the Blood Demon, his thoughts racing, considering that if Blood Extreme hadn't succeeded, there was no point in continuing the fight.
"Master Xu, please help me so that I can replace this damn Blood Demon.
"Blood Extreme pleaded sycophantically.
"Delusion!
Even if I die, I won't make it easy for you!
"Blood Demon angrily retorted.
"Since you failed to replace the Blood Demon, there's no need to continue.
I have a better plan!
"Xu Yan mused.
Upon hearing this, Blood Extreme grew anxious, "Master Xu, with just a little boost from you, I could be successful!
"Originally preparing to burn his Origin, even if he couldn't die together with Blood Extreme, as long as he burned half of his controlled Origin, even if Blood Extreme replaced him, his power would be significantly reduced, possibly even falling below the level of a Master of Heaven and Earth.
Moreover, with a loss of more than half of his Origin, it was impossible for Blood Extreme to advance further; he'd die before that happened.
However, upon hearing Xu Yan suggesting Blood Extreme cease attempting to replace him, the Blood Demon, who was ready to burn his Origin, stopped, looking at Xu Yan with some surprise.
"There's no need; if you replace the Blood Demon, your power will just be mediocre.
Moreover, you won't get past the trial of Netherworld – others might not notice, but the Netherworld will.
"Xu Yan shook his head.
"But, I this...
"Blood Extreme looked unwilling.
Yet, he dared not disobey Xu Yan's command.
"You and the Blood Demon, are too deeply entangled; breaking free will take some effort, although it's not a big problem, just...
"Xu Yan looked at the Blood Demon, pondering, "Blood Demon, how will you thank me?
"The Blood Demon thought for a moment, "Do you know my elder brother?
""Seen him!
"Xu Yan was noncommittal.
"What do you want me to do?
"Blood Demon asked directly.
"You are an Elder of the Imperishable Temple, and in a sense, you represent the Imperishable Temple.
How about you, in the capacity of an Elder of the Imperishable Temple, obstruct the people from Yu Ting?
"Xu Yan suggested with a smile.
The Blood Demon was startled, surprised, "Isn't the Taoist Ancestor from Yu Ting?
"He always thought that the Taoist Ancestor came from Yu Ting, that he was betrayed by Yu Ting; but now, Xu Yan was directing him to act as an Elder of the Imperishable Temple to target the people of Yu Ting, obviously intending to provoke a conflict between the Divine Temple and Yu Ting.
"Heh, Yu Ting is not worthy.
"Xu Yan replied with a scornful smile.
"Fine, I can agree to that!
"Blood Demon, without any choice, promptly nodded in agreement.
"Master Xu, what about me?
"Blood Extreme, with a gloomy expression, "This guy Blood Demon has a rebellious streak, you have to be wary of him!
""Shut up!
"Blood Demon bellowed.
But Xu Yan just laughed, "It's precisely because he has a rebellious streak against the Imperishable Temple that I chose him.
"Blood Demon was speechless.
He cursed inwardly; how did everyone know about my rebellious nature?
If the Unchanging Divine Master found out, I'd be done for!
Xu Yan produced a Jade Puppet, "Blood Extreme, you can occupy this Jade Person; it too possesses the power of a Master of Heaven and Earth, and who knows, perhaps it has more potential!
""Jade Person!
"Blood Demon was taken aback, "This is a Jade Person from Yu Ting, and Xu Yan actually killed it.
From this, it's clear that Xu Yan holds a grudge against Yu Ting!
"Upon hearing this, Blood Extreme immediately became excited, "Master Xu, wait a moment, I'll separate myself straight away.
"Blood Demon was relieved, but then he flew into a rage: "Blood Extreme, you actually dared to encroach on my Divine Spirit Soul Force!
""Blood Demon, don't be so stingy.
What does it matter if you let me have some Divine Spirit Soul Force?
"Blood Extreme chuckled maliciously.
Blood Demon clenched his teeth and had no choice but to accept it.
As long as that tick-like fellow Blood Extreme left, losing a bit of Divine Spirit Soul Force didn't amount to much.
"I'll give you a hand!
"Xu Yan lifted his hand, and the Images of Heaven and Earth appeared.
Instantly, Blood Demon was enveloped within, and Sword Intent directly invaded Blood Demon's body, separating Blood Extreme's soul out.
Blood Extreme's soul had undergone special refinement and had already undergone a transformation.
Like a parasite, it resided within Blood Demon's soul for some time.
To separate it completely would require no short amount of time, and Xu Yan didn't have that much time to wait.
Blood Demon was terrified inside.
Xu Yan's strength was terrifying.
Even though he wanted to resist, he was unable to do so and simply had to accept Xu Yan's help.
Pfft!
Finally, Blood Extreme's soul was separated out.
"This Jade Person is a bit special.
You need to occupy it and control the Dao Principles inside...
"Xu Yan pointed his finger and transferred the knowledge of how to occupy the Jade Puppet and how to take over the running Dao Principles into Blood Extreme's soul.
"Yes, Master Xu, I understand!
"Blood Extreme exclaimed excitedly.
"Go in.
"Xu Yan withdrew the Images of Heaven and Earth from Blood Demon and enveloped the Jade Puppet with it.
Blood Extreme's soul followed his Images of Heaven and Earth, entering into the Jade Puppet.
Boom!
The Jade Puppet burst forth with silver-white light, and the Dao Principles became faintly visible.
The puppets' eyes shone with brilliance and, after a while, turned slightly blood-red.
"Master Xu, I have succeeded!
"Blood Extreme's voice came through, his excitement unabated.
He now felt the true strength he possessed, akin to taking over Blood Demon's body and all its power.
The strength of a Master of Heaven and Earth!
"Good, get used to it on your own.
"Xu Yan nodded in satisfaction.
He checked Blood Extreme's state inside the Jade Puppet.
Now, Blood Extreme's soul had fully replaced the puppet's original consciousness and was operating all of its Dao Principles, controlling the power it had.
After pondering for a moment, Xu Yan spoke again: "Integrate your own principle thoroughly, refine this body completely for your own use.
"He transmitted the Law of Refinement into Blood Extreme's soul.
"Yes, Master Xu!
"Blood Extreme was thrilled.
His past choice had been wise; he had finally become a power at the Master of Heaven and Earth level.
"Get familiar with it a bit.
"Xu Yan withdrew the Images of Heaven and Earth.
"Blood Demon, come, let's have a contest.
Now I belong to Yu Ting, and you belong to the Imperishable Temple!
"Blood Extreme clenched his fist and, with a ferocious smile, looked at Blood Demon.
"Alright, I want to test and see what strength you actually possess.
"Blood Demon was also curious what strength Blood Extreme had achieved after taking over the Jade Person, and how Xu Yan managed to let Blood Extreme replace the Jade Person so effortlessly.
Rumble!
Blood Extreme and Blood Demon clashed.
Because Blood Extreme was initially controlling the Jade Puppet and was still unfamiliar with the use of its power and operation of its Dao Principles, Blood Demon initially had the upper hand.
Xu Yan watched their fight for a while and, after confirming that Blood Extreme had fully taken over the Jade Puppet and his soul had integrated with its Dao Principles, turned to look at the Witch and Qing Yu catching up on old times.
The Witch had learned of the cause and effect from Qing Yu, and now looked at Xu Yan with utter shock.
The Taicang Domain had produced such a monstrous talent.
And that mysterious Taoist Ancestor, what sort of existence was he?
"Will you continue to wander, or return to the Great Wilderness to participate in the battle of the Imperishable Temple?
"Xu Yan asked the Witch.
"I'll go back to the Great Wilderness.
"The Witch said solemnly, "Since my Domain has fused with the Great Wilderness, I should go back to see it anyway.
Furthermore, how could I be absent from the battle with the Imperishable Temple?
""If that's the case, then go back to the Great Wilderness.
You cannot travel with me.
"Xu Yan nodded.
"Why?
You're being hunted by the King of True Spirits.
If I were with you, I could...
"The Witch raised an eyebrow as he spoke.
Xu Yan cut him off, "I'm not just being hunted by King Chi Ni, but also Yu Ting is after me.
You're too slow.
If we encounter them, I'll have to save you.
"He all but said directly that having the Witch accompany him would be a burden!
The corner of the Witch's mouth twitched, wanting to retort but lacking the strength to do so.
He sighed.
He, one of the Seven Great Domain Masters, was now considered too weak!
