Chapter 505 - The Blood Demons Invade

The crackdown on the blood demons was still underway.

Ultimately, evil failed to prevail over righteousness. Despite the heavy losses suffered by the orthodox alliance in battling the demonic path, including the loss of many experts, the rampant blood demons in the Great Chu Empire were pushed back.

Chen Fan made a name for himself during this campaign and obtained many blood demon cores. Refining them made his cultivation advance rapidly; he was now at the late stage of the eighth level.

With all the demon cores he had, he could have advanced to the ninth level. However, he opted for caution to avoid an unstable foundation.

As the blood demons began retreating, Chen Fan returned to the Spring Autumn Sect.

Now that the Blood Demon Cave began to show signs of defeat and the remaining blood demons were quite weak, he left the task to others.

Chen Fan deemed it unnecessary to hunt blood demons below the first to second-level Core Formation realm. It would be akin to using a butcher's knife to slaughter a chicken.

Moreover, the blood demons wreaking havoc across the empire could serve as a training tool for the disciples. While these minions weren't challenging enough for Chen Fan, they provided excellent practice for the elite and core disciples.

A few individuals could not determine the strength or perpetuity of a clan. The entire clan needed to be strong to continue their legacy. A sect with only a handful of strong members would inevitably decline over time.

Chen Fan wasn't the only one to return to his sect; other top experts from the leaderboard followed suit, leaving the cleanup to the elite and core disciples.

However, the absence of these formidable experts allowed the blood demons to regroup and counterattack, causing losses to the orthodox alliance disciples.

This outcome was anticipated.

The current situation resembled a tug-of-war between the orthodox alliance and the Blood Demon Cave.

......

On this ominous day, dark clouds covered the skies, like Mount Tai was pressing down from above.

A furious roar suddenly rang out. The gates of the Spring Autumn Sect trembled violently as a terrifying force surged forth, causing mountains to crumble and protective formations to disintegrate instantly.

From above, a colossal blood-red hand blotted out the sky, tearing through space as it descended toward one of the Spring Autumn Sect's mountains.

As the blood sea churned, numerous blood demons materialized one after another. Blood qi surged skyward, staining the heavens red as if the heavens were weeping blood.

“So many demonic beings?!” roared a disciple of the Spring Autumn Sect when he saw the thousands of blood demons densely packed together.

His fear was shared by the others. The sight of so many blood demons intent on annihilating the Spring Autumn Sect caused teeth to chatter and hearts to race.

Chen Fan stood among them, his gaze narrowing at the sight of the blood demons. However, he did not panic.

Although the blood demons had a numerical advantage, the outcome of this war hinged on the fight between the four Divine Nascent realm powerhouses.

In the face of absolute strength, sheer numbers mattered little.

The tens of thousands-strong blood demon army had come in full force to wage war on the Spring Autumn Sect. Some of the less courageous disciples fainted outright from fear.

However, even more of the Spring Autumn Sect disciples unleashed their cultivation, their gazes fierce. Intense murderous auras surged from them.

The disciples roared furiously. Their homeland was directly behind them; they had nowhere to retreat. They had to fight to the end.

“Go, wipe out the Spring Autumn Sect!” commanded a Divine Nascent realm blood demon, his gesture signaling the start of battle.

The blood demons behind him were like a swarm of locusts, traversing the sea of blood and charging toward the Spring Autumn Sect.

Simultaneously, the two Divine Nascent realm blood demons also attacked Feng Baiyu and Yun Tu.

“Hear my orders, disciples of Spring Autumn Sect. Kill the blood demons by any means!” Feng Baiyu commanded as his aura instantly erupted. Blade qi rushed to the sky. He slashed toward a Divine Nascent realm blood demon, cutting the sea of blood into two.

Rumble!

The clash between the Spring Autumn Sect disciples and the vast army of blood demons erupted, signaling the beginning of a fierce battle.

Meanwhile, the four Divine Nascent realm powerhouses vanished into the void of the nine heavens and started a huge battle. Waves of terrifying fluctuations erupted from the skies, shaking heaven and earth.

Amidst the chaos, a blood demon wielding an ax cut down a dozen Spring Autumn Sect disciples. He stood in the air, his aura surging to the heavens. Murderous qi rolled around him as his voice resounded through the clouds. “Where is Chen Fan? Where is Chen Fan?! Come out and accept your death!”
