The Heavens: From Film and Mythology to Conquering Myriad Realms

Outside the imperial city.

Near the city wall, the broken bricks and stones and traces of magic scattered on the ground indicated that a fierce battle had taken place here.

Yu Kun and the others did not look very good. They were all surrounded by magical artifacts and looked warily at the three blood servants on the ground who were covered with murderous aura.

“These brats are actually cultivators from the seven major sects. It seems we absolutely cannot let you leave.”

An old man with a full head of red hair and covered in scales stared menacingly at Yu Kun and the others, his ferocious mouth occasionally flicking out a snake's tongue.

"Blood Serpent, you go and take down the leader, the mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator. I'll deal with the scholar-looking mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator and the woman. You can handle the rest, right, Tie Luo?"

The black-haired Blood Servant, standing between Blood Serpent and Iron Luo, spoke coldly.

"Hehehe! Demon Tiger, you better not die."

Blood Serpent's pupils contracted instantly, like a venomous snake, and its figure vanished from the spot in an instant.

"If you talk nonsense again, I'll devour you alive!"

The demonic tiger's eyes were icy cold. Its hands and feet transformed into tiger claws. With one foot, it shattered the ground and charged towards Liu Jing and Zhong Weiniang in the air.

Tie Luo remained silent, his demonized body becoming even more powerful as he charged directly towards Song Meng.

Upon seeing the three blood servants rushing forward, Yu Kun and the others were on high alert, and the magical artifacts around them all emitted powerful spiritual light.

"Fellow disciples, be careful! These demons are quite powerful, so don't be careless!"

Yu Kun gave a soft shout and immediately replaced his top-grade magic weapon with a talisman, then charged towards the attacking blood snake.

Blood Serpent and Demon Tiger are both cultivators who have risen to the rank of Blood Servant in the Black Fiend Sect. They are ruthless and their bodies are filled with extremely powerful baleful energy.

The three Blood Servants, through their demonic transformation and masterful use of their malevolent aura, managed to overpower the group.

If it weren't for the blessing of the talisman, Yu Kun and the others might have already suffered casualties.

"boom!"

A burst of crimson malevolent energy and several kinds of spiritual light erupted as the group clashed repeatedly. However, the magical artifacts and talismans of Yu Kun and the others were constantly being corroded by the crimson malevolent energy, and their power was being continuously weakened.

With the enhancement of their demonic transformation, the three Blood Servants' strength far exceeded that of the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, making it quite difficult for Yu Kun and the others to deal with them.

"Hold on, everyone! Their secret method can't last much longer!"

Liu Jing's expression shifted slightly, and he shouted loudly to the others.

"You've been discovered? Heh heh heh! Too bad you won't last that long!"

The Demon Tiger chuckled evilly, conjuring a giant blood-red tiger that charged towards Liu Jing and Zhong Weiniang.

"Jing-ge! Shall we use that?"

Zhong Weiniang looked very nervous and couldn't help but ask Liu Jing.

What Zhong Weiniang was referring to were the two phoenix talismans, the true treasures she and Liu Jing possessed.

He didn't even need two True Treasures; one was enough to sweep away the three Blood Servants.

However, these two Phoenix Talismans were passed down from Liu Jing's ancestors; once used, they are gone, they are one-time use items.

"hold on!"

Liu Jing gritted his teeth, glanced at the others, and ultimately decided to assess the situation further.

Upon hearing this, Zhong Weiniang nodded, her magical artifact swirling in her hand as she bombarded the demonized tiger.

……

"These two are the new Blood Servants?"

Not far away, Lu Yao stood on the city wall, watching the Blood Serpent and the Demon Tiger with great interest.

These two replaced Qingwen and Yeshe from the original work, but their strength was not much different.

Clearly, the leader of the Black Fiend Sect, also known as Emperor Yue, has invested a considerable amount of resources in the cultivation of the Five Elements Blood Condensation Pill.

"I'll use you guys to test the power of the Black Blood Blade."

Lu Yao picked up the Black Blood Blade, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"Haotian Pearl! Appraisal!"

Item: Black Blood Blade

Rank: High-grade Yellow (Incomplete Magic Item)

Effect: Forged using ancient black gold techniques and engraved with blood-path demonic patterns, it broke and was damaged for unknown reasons. It was reforged with blood-fiend demonic energy, but its power was greatly reduced. Each use will consume blood energy and mana.

Lu Yao had already refined the Black Blood Blade on the way here and was now able to use it with basic skill.

Lu Yao moved swiftly, transforming into a rainbow of light as he headed towards the blood snake.

"From the palace? Could it be the cult leader?!"

Blood Serpent sensed cultivators flying from the direction of the palace and his face lit up with joy, thinking that the leader of the Black Fiend Sect had come to their aid.

"Hehehe! Kids, you're all dead..."

Blood Serpent revealed a cold smile, but before he could finish speaking, he was terrified by a blood-red blade of energy.

"Ahhh!"

The crimson blade energy surged with unstoppable force, cleaving the blood snake in two at the waist.

The powerful physique after the demon transformation seemed like a joke, so laughable.

"Blood Serpent??"

The commotion was immediately noticed by the others, who all stared in shock at the blood snake that had been cut in two.

"who!"

Demon Tiger and Iron Luo's expressions changed drastically. They abandoned their respective opponents and quickly gathered together, looking around warily.

"Fellow Daoist Lu! It's you!"

Yu Kun was shocked to see Lu Yao arrive by flying through the air.

When they first met, Lu Yao was just a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the early stage of the Hidden Moon Sect. How long has it been? He was able to kill a Foundation Establishment cultivator in the middle stage with a single blow, and this was a Foundation Establishment cultivator who had been transformed into a demon.

"Fellow Daoist Yu, it's been a long time."

Lu Yao chuckled and greeted Yu Kun.

What is your current cultivation level?

Yu Kun couldn't help but ask.

He couldn't sense Lu Yao's cultivation level at all; it was obvious that Lu Yao had cultivated an extremely profound technique for concealing his breath, which only made him more eager to try it.

"Now is not the time to talk. Let's deal with these two demons first."

Lu Yao smiled faintly and turned to look at the ugly-faced Demon Tiger and Tie Luo.

"You're from one of the Seven Great Sects?!"

Demon Tiger knew things were serious. The appearance of a sect expert whose cultivation level he couldn't sense after killing the Blood Serpent with a single blow filled him with great fear.

“Your leader is too lonely on the road to the underworld. I am kind-hearted, so I will send you to accompany him.”

Lu Yao drew his Black Blood Blade, his expression cold and stern, looking at the two as if they were corpses.

"Split up and run!"

Tie Luo, who had been silent all along, let out a loud shout and instantly fled westward towards the imperial city.

Although Tieluo appears honest and loyal, his actions are quite cunning. He chose a place with the most common people, hoping to increase their chances of survival.

The Demon Tiger moved quickly, only a moment slower than Tie Luo, before heading in the opposite direction.

"Being smart."

"cut!"

Lu Yao chuckled, clearly having seen through Tie Luo's thoughts, but he didn't care at all.

It wasn't that he didn't care about the lives of ordinary people, but that only these two people couldn't escape into the city.

He unleashed two consecutive bursts of crimson blade energy, slashing past the two men with unparalleled power.

The speed of the crimson blade energy was far faster than the escape speed of Demon Tiger and Iron Luo, and it directly pierced through the two of them.

"Bang! Bang!"

A crimson blade of energy swept past, cleaving both the Demon Tiger and Tie Luo in two.
