Chapter 159 - Demons Who Worshipped the Moon

Rumble!

The blood demon formation was finally broken, and Green Mountain City collapsed.

Su Xing brought Su Yan’er and Shen Yaoling to take cover under a big tree outside Green Mountain City and from there, they witnessed everything that had happened.

Suddenly, the blood light in the ruins became brighter, and a sphere of dazzling red light rose up slowly. The red light pierced through the sky, illuminating the surrounding scenery with an atmosphere red as blood.

The birth of the Blood Moon was an ominous sign.

At this moment, the entire Eastern Wastelands fell into a state of panic.

Sensing the birth of an evil and powerful force, many cultivators with various cultivation bases flew up into the sky to take a look. When they saw it, they were immediately stunned by the scene in the sky.

The red light scattered across the earth, and blood-red thick clouds with astonishing momentum rolled over from the distance.

At the Mysterious Sky Sword Sect.

On the Sunset Peak, Bai Xueling leaned on the railing and looked into the distance, but her face gradually darkened.

“Master, did something happen? Why did the weather change?”

Li Yiyi stopped her cultivation in shock, and an inexplicable chill rose in her heart, as if something terrible had happened.

“Huh, Senior Sister Xuejian, you came out too!”

Xuejian nodded.

After Su Xing and the others left, Xuejian, who had been cultivating in seclusion, had no choice but to come out. While she was cultivating in seclusion, she suddenly had a bad feeling. Unable to concentrate on her cultivation, she could only come out to have a look.

Xuejian had made great progress now. In less than a month, her cultivation had stabilized at the Semi-Immortal Realm.

If it were any other time, Bai Xueling would have gasped in admiration at her progress. But now, they were all looking at the horizon, or more accurately, at the strange blood-red light.

“The Blood Moon has come into the world, and all the demons are worshipping it. A powerful demon king has appeared.”

The Demon King, as its name implied, was the king of all demons.

In fact, the demons that appeared in the entire Eastern continent were not real demons. They could only be called human-demon or half-human-half-demon.

Because they had been corrupted and bewitched by the demon Qi of the demon race, they had fallen into the path of demons, but they were from humans or other living beings. They had not completely transformed into real demons, so they could only be considered pseudo-demons now. Of course, they could also become real demons after a transformation.

The real demon was a creature born from the Heaven and Earth. It was an alternative life form that was born from the combination of the hateful Qi, baleful Qi, resentful Qi, and negative energy of the Heaven and Earth.

The demon race were not weak creatures. Once they were born, they possessed great power. When the devil race was at its peak, they had once ruled over the entire Lingtian continent. People called that period the dark era.

From the bottom up, their strength was divided into the ordinary demon race, the demon soldiers, the demon General, then the demon King, and finally the demon Emperor

These ranks corresponded to the cultivators’ hierarchy, starting from Void-treading Realm, Tribulation Transcending, Ascension Realm, Human Immortal, and several other major realms of cultivation.

Even the ordinary demon race was on the level of Void-Treading Realm! The people of the demon race were actually so terrifying.

Hearing this, Xuejian and Li Yiyi both sucked in a cold breath.

“That’s not right. The seal is still fine, why would a demon king suddenly appear? Could it be that something happened at the back mountain of the sect?”

At this moment, Bai Xueling suddenly thought of something. After instructing Xue Jian to return to her room with Li Yiyi, she flew out of Sunset Peak alone.

At the same time, the major powers of the sects were not calm either.

Even a fool would know that something was wrong with such an abnormal scene.

No matter which corner of the Eastern Wastelands they were in, everyone walked out of the buildings at the same time and looked up at the sky.

High in the sky, the Blood Moon was like an evil beacon, and the blood clouds were rolling. A streak of blood light shot straight into the sky.

At this scene, everyone suddenly had the same thought.

“Something big is going to happen in the Eastern Continent again!”

…

In a valley 500 miles away from the Mysterious Sky Sword Sect.

More than a thousand cultivators of the Mysterious Sky Sword Sect were fighting hundreds of demons.

The battle lasted for three days and three nights. In the end, the demons were trapped in the valley by the combined efforts of the Mysterious Sky Sword Sect.

Just as they were about to kill the demons, a strange phenomenon happened.

The bright moon was dyed blood-red, and the horizon was suffused with red light. An evil energy that made one’s heart palpitate spread outward.

The hundreds of demons who had become weakened like fish in a barrel began to kneel down and worship the blood moon in the sky. As they worshiped, they chanted loudly and repetitively.

Every one of the demons lifted their cloaks, and a fanatical expression was painted on their faces. One moment, they were fierce and violent, but in the next second, they became incomparably pious.

“Elder Lei, what is this crafty demon doing?”

“Could it be that they know that they will die for sure and are prepared to kneel down and beg for mercy?”

Ye Youji was afraid that something would go wrong, and he didn’t even care about his bleeding arm. He hurriedly looked at Lei Mingyuan, as if he sought an answer from him.

Lei Mingyuan’s face was solemn. Compared to other disciples with low cultivation, he could clearly sense a trace of danger.

Especially when he looked at the Blood Moon in the sky, with his high-level cultivation, he actually sensed an inexplicable fear.

“If it’s too late, then something will happen. Seize this precious time to exterminate this group of evil demons and tell all disciples to prepare an attack.”

“Yes, Elder!”

Just as the two of them finished speaking, a strange thing happened. At this time, the evil blood light that filled the sky suddenly descended!

After absorbing the blood light, the aura of the hundreds of demons who were originally weak gradually recovered, and they became even stronger than before.

Not only that, the aura on their bodies was also gradually increasing!

Seeing the scene in front of them, the people from the Mysterious Sky Sword Sect could not help but feel a chill run down their spines.

F*ck! After fighting for so long, they finally lost a lot of blood, and now they were revived after simply bowing to the moon!

Was there any justice in this world?!

“All disciples of the Mysterious Sky Sword Sect, listen up, attack and kill the demons immediately!”

Seeing that the situation was not good, Elder Lei took the lead to attack.

When they reached the valley, the demons also reacted, and the two sides fought again. The people of the Mysterious Sky Sword Sect cursed in their hearts!

Because of the sudden change, the battle, which was already in their grasp of victory, was now in a state of anxiety.

The team led by Lei Mingyuan was only one of the teams from the Mysterious Sky Sword Sect that had went down the mountain to exterminate the demons. The other teams led by other elders also encountered the same strange situation. The only difference was that there were more demons here, so the pressure they faced was greater.

The valley turned into a chaotic battle.

The sounds of energy impact due to the battle were dense and chaotic. Occasionally, there would be one or two angry curses spat out.

The disciples of the Mysterious Sky Sword Sect, who had been fighting for three days and three nights, were clearly a little tired. Fortunately, they had the advantage of numbers. Two or three people formed a sword formation to split up the demon army to deal with the situation.

It was only by fighting with more numbers that they were barely able to control the situation.

However, the demons in front of them were very different from before. They seemed to have an endless amount of energy now. They attacked the sword formation crazily, trying to break through the crowd’s blockade.

More than ten disciples ran out of spiritual Qi and were accidentally sent flying. They passed out with a muffled groan.

The other disciples who still had energy left hurriedly rushed up to fill the gap in the array.

Seeing that the disciples was in danger, Elder Lei immediately gave up on attacking and rushed back to assist them.

Suddenly, two demon experts of the Advanced Stage blocked his way.

One of the bearded demons licked the blood on its demon blade and laughed strangely.

“Keke! Lei Mingyuan, don’t get involved in the juniors’ matters. Bullying the weak is against the rules.”

“Why are you in such a hurry to leave? We brothers haven’t had enough fun yet!”

Hahaha!

Two great Completion Stage demon experts attacked from both sides.

“Damn it!” The two demon experts were one realm weaker than Lei Mingyuan. Originally, he could still use his realm advantage to suppress the two demons, but after the baptism of the blood moon, the demons’ strength had become much stronger. Lei Mingyuan had no choice but to use all his strength to deal with them.

The cultivators’ good demon-slaying plan was ruined by the sudden appearance of a strange phenomenon.

Now, there were already a small number of disciples who did not have enough spiritual power. If this dragged on, it would be terrible for everyone.

Ye Youji worked with his teammates to kill one demon, then turned around and walked to another team to help, but at this moment, he could not help but feel a little worried.

Elder Lei, who had the highest cultivation in the field, was currently entangled with fighting the demon experts. He had no time to care about other places, and could not be separated to help. Some of the disciples could not hold on any longer.

What should he do? What should he do!!!

The situation of the battle had taken a sharp turn for the worse. The greatest crisis in history had quietly arrived.
