Reincarnation Girl Becomes Immortal

Her figure moved as smoothly as a scalpel cutting into a wound; one moment she was gathering momentum in place, and the next she was already inside the blood dragon.

The blade flashed white light at the tip, piercing straight into the enemy's heart.

Even a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator felt no resistance whatsoever under the power of this ultimate sword.

Even before Xi Heng himself could react, the fierce sword energy and resentment had already erupted within the opponent's body, tearing apart flesh, internal organs, and meridians, causing the opponent to let out a low growl.

The girl's fingers trembled slightly, and the unrestrained sword energy destroyed a large area of ​​flesh, leaving a black blood hole in her chest.

Blood gushed forth freely from within, and the sea of ​​blood, absorbing the blood of the Foundation Establishment cultivator, grew even more imaginative and cunning.

After succeeding, Xi Heng sheathed his longsword, allowing the sea of ​​blood to continue surging.

Although the other party had lost his heart and most of his chest, he was still not dead.

However, the resentment had already penetrated deep into the opponent's mind and soul along with the burst of sword energy, causing them to freeze.

As long as the sea of ​​blood continues to touch his blood, and he manipulates the blood to flow out of his body, he can defeat him.

Even if one is a Foundation Establishment cultivator, most of them will die quickly after being drained of blood and turned into a dried corpse.

Even if they don't die, they will have no power to resist.

Xi Heng slightly raised his eyes, his gaze sweeping over the blood-stained hole in the center of the other person's robe, and looking up at the shoulder scorched by lightning, and further up at the pair of lifeless eyes and rough face.

Because of the uncontrolled loss of blood from the chest, the skin on this person's body had turned ashen and pale.

But for some reason, his dilated pupils continued to move, flashing with an eerie light.

One second later,

The sea of ​​blood has begun to absorb this human body, which is now almost indistinguishable from a corpse.

But suddenly, the small drum hanging in the other person's hand made a sound.

Even though the person didn't move their arms at all, the small drum almost fell off, and a slight thud came out from the drumhead.

Then, suddenly, as if hit by a flashbang, Xi Heng was enveloped in a blinding light.

An intense, burning sensation surged forth.

The spiritual shield melted away in an instant, and the remaining energy was used to defend against it.

Only after the white light faded did a thunderclap, several times stronger than the previous thunderclaps, resound in the sky, as if the world had collapsed.

boom--

In the end, Xi Heng used all his inner strength, which made his body, which had been nourished by spiritual energy for a long time, feel quite tired, so that he could finally withstand a thunderbolt and avoid serious damage to his body.

However, the black robe and hood that were not protected by the Dan Jin energy were inevitably burned to ashes.

The concealing effect of this low-level magical artifact thus dissipated.

Seeing the face beneath the black robe, the enemy cultivator, also struck by lightning, his body charred black and his hair singed, stared wide-eyed:

"You are... Her Highness the Holy Maiden..."

"The Netherworld Gate, it turns out, is related to..."

His voice was hoarse and indistinct, barely audible, and his life force flickered like a candle in the wind, as if he would vanish at any moment.

"So you were still recognized?" the girl clicked her tongue.

"However, it was too late."

The sea of ​​blood has already drawn away the vast majority of the other party's blood.

As the lightning dissipated, Xi Heng drew his dark blue sword and thrust it forward, piercing the enemy's dantian.

The old cultivator who summoned thunder let out a muffled groan, and his already waning vitality quickly dissipated.

Xi Heng drew his sword again, and the opponent's body fell backward into the sea of ​​blood.

She exhaled softly, casually tossed the sword aside, and manipulated the surrounding sea of ​​blood to extend a slender arm that grasped it and helped her sheath the sword.

Before his eyes, the sea of ​​blood rapidly engulfed the flesh and blood of the dead cultivator, turning the spiritual energy within into nourishment, and leaving behind the person's storage bag and magical artifacts, which were then handed to Xi Heng.

Before long, most of the sea of ​​blood that had risen to the surface fell back down, creating a surging, turbulent sound.

Below in the mountains and forests, almost all the survivors who were still able to move had already fled.

Upon witnessing the surging sea of ​​blood, mortals would have no will to resist, and all fighting spirit would vanish—regardless of whether they were friend or foe.

After the battle of cultivators ended, the entire war quickly came to a close.

The so-called 100,000-strong expeditionary force sent by the Pure Fire Cult began to retreat, but they could not escape the engulfment of the Blood Sea.

Xi Heng continued to urge the Blood Sea, charging and killing towards the enemy's elite troops who were barely managing to retreat in an orderly fashion.

Giant waves swept through, destroying forests.

Large swaths of trees were broken and fell, as if people were trampling on a meadow, flattening the dense forest.

The sea of ​​blood continued to surge upwards, engulfing thousands of mortals in just half a minute, absorbing their flesh and souls, and growing ever stronger.

The sounds of trees breaking, the roar of the ocean waves, the wailing of birds and crows in the sky and wild beasts in the mountains and forests, and even the panicked screams and loud pleas for mercy from human soldiers all overlapped together.

To compose a magnificent chapter.

The girl unconsciously curled the corners of her mouth, and the azure blue in her eyes, which was originally nourished by spiritual light, had turned crimson again after she had activated all the internal energy in her body.

Looking out from the continuously surging sea of ​​blood, Yao gazed at the people fleeing in the distance, and also glanced at the many onlookers who had begun to retreat in astonishment from some hidden spots to the side.

She didn't pay much attention to these things, and then turned to look at the rebel army under her command.

These people fought bravely, and their high-end combat power was even able to fight to a draw with the Pure Fire Sect, which satisfied Xi Heng.

Because the fighting was short-lived, there were few casualties among the rebels.

The enemy forces, ravaged by the carnage, have likely suffered tens of thousands of casualties by now.

Anyone who judges it would say it was a resounding victory.

The girl turned around and stepped on the air, but her body slowly floated into the sky as if she were stepping on stairs.

Although it looks like the movements are not fast, the actual speed is quite fast.

In less than half a minute, they traversed hundreds of meters from the lower ground to the higher mountain, returning to the resistance positions formed by the rebels.

The rebels on the mountain seemed to feel no joy of victory, mostly just staring blankly at the surging and ever-expanding sea of ​​blood below—they couldn't comprehend such overwhelming magic, a scene rarely seen even in the legends of immortals in this world.

When he saw Xi Heng return, his black robe torn, revealing his close-fitting red outfit, white hair, and a flawless, otherworldly beauty.

People had no other thoughts; their deeply shaken minds could hardly support them thinking about anything else.

Upon seeing her, everyone instinctively knelt down and adopted a respectful posture.

Immediately afterwards, the high priest of the Xuantian Sect led the rebels in chanting the Xuantian Sect's prayers.

"The Supreme Mother of the Ten Directions and Three Worlds, the highest heaven above all, the most holy of all saints!"

"The pure fire was tainted, the mysterious heavens saved the world, the holy envoy descended from the heavens, and all grievances were quelled!"

Today, regardless of whether the people in the rebel army truly believed in the Xuantian Sect before, they have no choice but to believe it when they look at the boundless sea of ​​blood before them.

"The pure fire is tainted, the mysterious heavens save the world..." They chanted in unison, their voices even drowning out the roar of the distant sea of ​​blood.

Standing in mid-air, Xi Heng nodded gently and raised his right hand slightly, using a simple gesture to gradually silence the people's prayers.

He then addressed his thousands of troops in simple language:

"The war is over. Tonight, we will hold a victory celebration banquet. After that, the military will rest for half a month. The Xuantian Sect will intensify its missionary work. After half a month, you will need to send troops to occupy this country and incorporate the Xuantian Sect followers you have developed in various places over the past few months into the army to expand your military strength."

As soon as the words were spoken, the rebel leader below immediately agreed.

The red-eyed girl continued, "I want you to conquer this country within three months, and to subdue all five surrounding mountain kingdoms within a year, forming a north-south standoff with the Great Sheng Kingdom. Is that possible?"

"What the Holy Envoy said is a divine mandate, and it must be carried out!"

The rebel leader Xie Jun gazed at the sea of ​​blood below the mountain and repeatedly declared his loyalty.

"Go do it." Xi Heng said, then turned and went back.

She used a lot of spiritual energy in this battle, and the reckless use of her inner energy also made her body tired, so she needed to rest for a while.

Volume 1: Chapter 221, Advancing Daily

At the summer solstice, the mountains south of the Goguryeo Kingdom were tinged with a striking scarlet color.

It wasn't scattered blood from human wounds on the battlefield; it didn't pool into pitted bloodstains, and there were few broken swords, halberds, damaged spear shafts, armor, or clothing.

Even human corpses and pieces of flesh are hard to find.

Yes, there were only vast expanses of red, like a scene from purgatory.

The blood soaked the spruce and pine trees, turning them into a dark reddish-brown color as if they had been pickled. Even the soil on the ground failed to retain its original color, turning into a blood-red expanse.

Only by digging several meters deep into the ground can one perhaps see some of the original color of the soil.

After that great battle where blood flowed like a sea, many organizations and factions in the mortal world sent people to investigate this place.

The messages that came back almost all used the phrase "hell on earth" to describe it.

The fallen, broken, sunk trees and rocks, or crushed into pieces, made onlookers acutely aware of the terrifying destructive power of the magic.

This naturally leads to the thought that if this immortal technique were to fall not in the deep mountains and forests, but in a large city, a city that could hold a million people would probably be completely destroyed by this technique.

Not only the city's residents, but also buildings, roads, and other land will be completely wiped out in a short period of time.

With a single thought, a cultivator can destroy the land that hundreds of thousands or even millions of mortals have painstakingly built and perfected over generations, a place on which they depend for survival.

Moreover, such extraordinary power is unstoppable; even the immortals of the Pure Fire Sect would be annihilated under this technique.

As a result, the attitudes of various factions that received the news towards the Xuantian Sect's military, which was opposing the Jingjinghuo Sect, changed somewhat.

They were terrified that the so-called Holy Envoy of the Xuantian Sect would come and drown them in a sea of ​​blood, so they had to consider their own interests, even if it meant abandoning their own beliefs.

Therefore, the missionary journey of the Xuantian Sect members became much smoother after the war.

During this period, various countries' governments often subtly extended goodwill to the Xuantian Sect, such as opening up access routes and lifting investigations, and even secretly stopping some fanatical followers of the Pure Fire Sect who might disrupt the mission, in order to subtly convey their own attitudes.

As a result, the Xuantian Sect expanded rapidly in the first three months after the war, spreading to more than ten small countries in the northern part of Dasheng, and even the northern state of Dasheng was affected, with many secret believers.

This period of smooth development continued for three months.

It was the third month after the war, in late autumn.

A coup suddenly occurred in the country of Gou, which is closest to the rebel army of Xuantian Sect, and the government changed hands overnight.

The person who rose to power was the Third Princess, who was closest to the Xuantian Sect.

She was clearly well-funded, which enabled her to overthrow and imprison the crown prince, who controlled the royal guards, in a short period of time.

Subsequently, the entire kingdom began to widely spread the ideas of the Xuantian Sect in the name of the government, and exiled all the fanatics and key figures of the Jinghuo Sect.

The spread of the Xuantian Sect continued to advance vigorously. The sect's legends, concepts, and rituals were complete. Furthermore, the existence of 'immortals' in the eyes of ordinary people, such as Xi Heng and the mortals of the Youxu Sect, led many people who had been trained by the Jinghuo Sect to believe in the stories of the Xuantian Sect.

Many believers who were not convinced to begin with but were only seeking a stable life quickly converted.

The number of followers increased dramatically, with the most believers being directly incorporated into the rebel army. Due to the subsequent proactive expansion of the army, the number of rebel soldiers increased from over three thousand after the war with the Pure Fire Cult to twenty thousand in just three or four short periods of time.

Besides combat troops, there will be even more logistical support and other tasks.

To exaggerate a bit further, it could be called an army of 100,000.

This increase was due to the fact that after the rebels actually occupied the country, they expanded rapidly by absorbing the resources of this mountainous nation.

Furthermore, the growth of the Xuantian Sect's strength during this period has not been limited to the number of members.

At the same time, the many wonders of the "Hun Yuan Gong Fa" secretly spread by the Xuan Tian Sect also attracted a large number of martial artists from the mortal world to come and visit.

As martial artists, after obtaining some chapters of the Hunyuan Gong, they immediately understood that this kind of skill was almost worlds apart from ordinary martial arts.

Those with exceptional talent and comprehension are even more able to discern some clues from it—recognizing that this Hunyuan Method is indeed a development of mortal martial arts, and looks like a martial arts chapter from hundreds of years in the future.

Once this method was introduced, it naturally attracted the attention of martial artists from all over the world.

However, the requirements for cultivating this technique are not difficult for the Xuantian Sect—as long as one becomes a believer of the Xuantian Sect, participates in several sacrificial rites, swears not to be an enemy of the Xuantian Sect, and is willing to fight for the sect once without necessarily dying, one can receive the secret manual.

These requirements are simple in some ways, but difficult in others.

For ordinary Ming Jin martial artists, these costs are not significant; they can easily agree to them for the sake of top-tier martial arts.

Those martial artists with established influence, or even elders and protectors of their respective factions, were unable to make a decision.

Although the inertia of being a martial artist will constantly push them to climb to higher realms.
