Batian Martial Soul

Chapter 14621 Anti-Devour

At the same time, countless twisted and hideous faces emerged within the crimson barrier, their mouths wide open, emitting piercing and shrill screams.

The entire space was submerged by a blood-red torrent, turning into a veritable blood-sea purgatory, where the terrifying blood-fiend energy almost eroded the soul!

"This is... the aura of the Maha Patriarch!" Mu Qianxue's pupils suddenly shrank to the size of pinpoints, her voice trembling. "He's still alive! That demon should have been slain by the Holy Lord of Annihilation a thousand years ago!"

"Master Maha?" Ling Xiao asked in a deep voice. Anyone who could make Mu Qianxue lose her composure like this was no ordinary person.

“A top-tier evil cultivator who proved his Dao through slaughter a thousand years ago!” Mu Qianxue spoke rapidly, her tone full of apprehension. “He slaughtered billions of living beings in the Silent Realm, using the blood of all living beings to condense the ‘Blood Sea Great Art.’ At the peak of his cultivation, he was in no way weaker than the Black Soul King!”

Not weaker than the Dark Soul King!

Ling Xiao's heart skipped a beat. Although he hadn't witnessed the full extent of the Black Soul King's power firsthand, a being who could make even the Holy Temple wary was definitely a ruthless character standing at the very top of the Annihilation Realm!

From the depths of the sea of ​​blood, a hoarse and sinister laugh slowly echoed, like rusty iron scraping against each other, utterly grating: "Little girl, you do have some knowledge. However, this old man has not come here for that Demon Lord Black Heaven Sword..."

The laughter suddenly turned cold, filled with a greedy fervor: "What I want is the bloodline in this kid's body!"

Bloodline?
Ling Xiao and Mu Qianxue were both stunned, their faces filled with astonishment.

"Rumor has it that Young Hero Ling possesses pure demonic blood, and seeing him today, it is indeed true."

The voice of the Maha Patriarch echoed in the sea of ​​blood, filled with undisguised excitement, "It can actually ignore my Blood Guiding Technique and remain unaffected by the sea of ​​blood... Such a top-grade bloodline is a once-in-a-millennium find, it's practically a furnace tailor-made for me!"

Mu Qianxue reacted instantly and shouted sharply:

"He wants to devour your bloodline essence! This is the core of his Blood Sea Technique... plundering the bloodline and cultivation of others, devouring and evolving to strengthen himself! Once he succeeds, his strength will increase several times over!"

Ling Xiao's eyes turned completely cold, and demonic intent quietly rose around him. The Xuan Snake Poison Heaven Sword hummed in his hand, ready to strike at any moment.

"Stop struggling, it's useless!" Ancestor Maha laughed strangely. "This Blood Prison Imprisoning Heaven Formation is my life-bound formation, which I have spent a thousand years refining. Don't even mention the two of you, even if that old man Yun Xiao were to personally take action, he wouldn't be able to break this formation!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a solid blood shadow suddenly split out from the center of the sea of ​​blood. The blood shadow was surrounded by dense blood evil energy and moved as fast as a ghost, rushing straight towards Ling Xiao!
Upon seeing this, Mu Qianxue immediately activated the power of the stars to try to stop them, but the twisted blood faces around her suddenly swarmed in, emitting piercing screams, frantically attacking her soul and binding her tightly.

In that brief moment of delay, the blood-red shadow, like a ghost, pierced through Ling Xiao's protective demonic intent and plunged straight into his body!
"Ling Xiao!" Mu Qianxue cried out in alarm, her heart filled with anxiety, but she was tightly entangled by the blood-faced man and couldn't break free at all.

To her shock, Ling Xiao never dodged, allowing the blood shadow to invade his body with an eerily calm expression.

next moment……

boom! ! !
A terrifying crimson light suddenly erupted from Ling Xiao's body, like a volcanic eruption, completely dyeing his eyes crimson. His clothes were instantly torn to shreds by the blood light, and strange demonic patterns faintly appeared on the surface of his skin.

The arrogant laughter of the Great Ancestor Maha resounded in Lingxiao's sea of ​​consciousness:
"Excellent! Excellent! Excellent! Such pure and domineering demonic bloodline! In my thousand years of cultivation, I have never seen such a treasure! Today, it is time for me to break through my shackles and escape this damned Realm of Annihilation!!"

However, the arrogant laughter lasted only three breaths before it abruptly stopped.

"What...what is this?!" The voice of the Maha Patriarch suddenly changed, from ecstatic joy to disbelief and terror in an instant. "No...impossible! How could your bloodline...ahhh!! My cultivation! My power!"

An extremely shrill scream resounded in Ling Xiao's mind, making his soul feel slightly numb.

At this moment, the demonic bloodline within Ling Xiao seemed to be completely enraged, suddenly unleashing a terrifying and unimaginable reverse-devouring power...

It wasn't that the Great Ancestor was devouring Ling Xiao's bloodline, but rather that Ling Xiao's bloodline was frantically devouring the Great Ancestor's cultivation and soul!

"Stop...stop now!!" The voice of the Maha Patriarch was filled with despair. "What kind of bloodline is this? Why can it devour my cultivation of a thousand years? My Blood Sea Technique...how could it fail? Ah...!!"

The screams stopped abruptly.

The soul and millennia of cultivation of the Maha Patriarch were completely devoured by Ling Xiao's bloodline!
An unimaginably powerful surge of energy exploded within Ling Xiao's body in an instant!

His meridians, dantian, and acupoints were instantly stretched to their limits by this violent energy, and dense spiderweb-like cracks quickly appeared on the surface of his skin, as if it would completely collapse at any moment.

"Not good!" Mu Qianxue's expression changed drastically. She broke free from the blood-faced man's grasp, wanting to get closer but not daring to step forward rashly.

She could see it clearly... After devouring the Maha Ancestor, Ling Xiao's bloodline not only did not stop, but instead, like an ancient ferocious beast that had been awakened, it began to frantically absorb the blood sea energy around it!
The endless blood threads and blood-fiend energy within the Blood Prison Imprisoning Heaven Formation surged wildly towards Ling Xiao's body like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea, being continuously devoured by his bloodline.

However, his physical body simply could not withstand such a violent influx of energy and was on the verge of collapse!

"Stop...stop right now!" Ling Xiao roared through gritted teeth, veins bulging on his forehead. He tried with all his might to suppress the rampaging bloodline, but the power had already escaped his control and possessed its own will...

Greedy, domineering, and tyrannical, it wants to devour all the blood energy it sees!
The cracks in his skin grew deeper and deeper, reaching the bone, yet strangely, not a single drop of blood flowed out. This was because all the blood was locked within his body by that terrifying bloodline power, constantly transforming and absorbing the surging, violent energy.

"Ling Xiao! Guard your mind! Don't let the energy overwhelm your soul!"

Mu Qianxue shouted urgently, but could only watch from a distance... At this moment, the pressure emanating from Ling Xiao's body made even her, the realm master, feel apprehensive. If she rashly approached, she would only be affected by that violent energy wave.

Boom!

Another terrifying crimson shockwave rippled out from Ling Xiao's body, sending Mu Qianxue flying another hundred feet away. She steadied herself and looked in horror at the area completely shrouded in crimson.

The entire sea of ​​blood was shrinking and dissolving at a visible speed, while Ling Xiao's aura was rising at an incredible rate...

Early, middle, late, and peak Emperor Realm... In just a few breaths, he had already reached the threshold of the Breakthrough Realm!
But this extreme improvement comes at the cost of his physical body gradually disintegrating.
