Chapter 329 - 325= Walk Well
Tang Luo, carrying the massive wave hammer, walked, light-footed, and soon spotted the underground palace. Squaring a spell in his hand, he opened the gate to the underground palace.
In only a few days, the Blood God who possessed three spiritual springs, had already created numerous offsprings. Accompanied by the rise of the dragon-destroying stone, a heavy, bloody atmosphere hit him, together with the roar of a blood beast.
Several crimson streaks of light shot towards the outside of the underground palace as the dragon-destroying stone rose. These were three blood-polluted puppets, who with a gusting wind, pounced towards Tang Luo’s body openings. Tang Luo did not unlock his cultivation hence maintained the physique of the modest gentleman. However, under the nourishment of Innate Qi, his body in the Mortal Realm also reached a height of 1.85 meters, slender and robust.
Facing this sudden onslaught, he did not even bat an eye. The 3,000 pounds heavy wave hammer seemed like a giant cotton swab in his hand. He took hold of the hammer with one hand and swung it towards the incoming threat.
Amidst the whistling wind, the three towering blood-polluted puppets vanished like blood traces being wiped off under the spikes of the wave hammer.
With a single blow, Tang Luo shattered the three blood-polluted puppets along with their blood essence. After swinging the hammer in a semi-circle, bringing along a gusty wind, he carried it back on his shoulder. The remaining offspring of the Blood God, horrified by the brutal fate of the three puppets, fled towards the underground palace.
Carrying a three-meter-long wave hammer, Tang Luo cheerfully entered the layers of the Underground Palace. However, he heard the Blood God cursing from around the corner on the fourth floor.
“You come here and slaughter the three puppets I prized so much, have you no respect for me at all!” The Blood-faced deity raged. Although having the three spiritual springs meant he could create hundreds of thousands of offspring, these were his precious hope for leaving the minor spiritual realm in the future. Every single loss was intolerable.
The losses he had faced to put on a show last time were already a heartache to him. Yet, several days have passed and this troublemaker was back again. How could the Blood God show him a good face?
However, Tang Luo pleaded in a friendly manner: “Your Highness, you’re on the brink of escaping from the Minor Spiritual Realm to establish the Blood God Empire anew. What’s a few blood-polluted puppets compared to that! Your army will surely consist of Blood Dragons in the future, am I right?” “Hmph.” His blood-red face pouted in pride, “Well now that you understand, when this ancestor rebuilds the Blood God Empire and sweeps across the universe, if you have any enemies or nemeses, you can tell me, I’ll lay them out for you!”
“Wow! Your Highness, you are so mighty!” Tang Luo laughed as he wheedled the furious Blood God. He then turned his attention to the void, speaking sincerely, “Greetings to Your Excellency, the Fox Demon.” The aged voice echoed, “Young friend, what brings you here this time? Tang Luo, dealing with the Fox Demon’s illusion, wouldn’t dare to fudge things like he did with the Blood God. He seriously inquired, “The entrance to the Minor Spiritual Realm has started its puppet renovation, and the material relocation is due to start soon. This will all end in about a month, which is also when the soul-binding array will regain power. I wonder if Your Excellency has made full preparations?”
“Hehehehe.” The Demon King laughed. “Han Wu is dead, my wish has been granted, and to win a chance of survival for my old friend with my residual soul, it truly is a blessing.”
The enormous blood-faced deity also cackled. “Kid, you don’t understand do you? When the descendant of the Han family triggers the soul-binding formation again, the fox will blow itself up, shattering the Boundary Breaking Stone, causing this minor spiritual realm to drift within the void. Although we don’t know where this minor spiritual realm will drift to, when the realm is fixed again that will be the time for this ancestor’s world-wide massacre. Don’t think that the fox will die, it’s already fused with the Realm Heart, even self-destruction will lead to rebirth within the Realm Heart!”
“When the time comes for this ancestor to sweep across the world, we’ll definitely find a way to separate the soul from the Realm Heart, then we 11 get a fox demon body to revive my old friend so we can rule together. Who in this world can compete with us then!”
Tang Luo looked gravely at the pleased figure of the Blood God and the Fox Demon’s illusion with a heavy heart.
He of course knew the Blood God spoke truth. But he knew even more clearly that Ji Fu would not deceive him. Regardless if it were the explosion of the soul or the wiping away of the soul, essentially they meant the Demon King would dissipate into the realms. While the Realm Heart would indeed rebirth the protector spirit, such a protector spirit would be a blank entity without memories or awareness. Such a rebirth would be a rebirth of the protector spirit, not the rebirth of the Demon King.
As long as the soul self-destructs, this aged-sounding Demon King would permanently leave this world.
Big-headed Blood God while still dreaming beautifully about sweeping across the universe and reviving his old friend. If he knew that the Demon King wouldn’t come back to life after self-destruction, would he still be so thrilled? Tang Luo suddenly felt an impulse to reveal this to the Blood God. But he saw the cluster of numbers representing the illusion of the Fox Demon, rocking it around like shaking his head at him.
Shortly afterwards, the old voice echoed again, “Old friend, you’re right. I still need to find my scattered kin. I refuse to believe that Han Wu has massacred all my Nine-Tailed Fox lineage.” The Demon King interrupted Tang Luo’s speech at just the right moment.
Unsuspecting the illusion, the Blood God excitedly said: “Dearest fox, rest assured. Once I get out, I shall find your Nine-Tailed Fox lineage with all my force and bring them before you.”
Watching their performance, Tang Luo felt the scene before him so cruel. He threw the wave hammer away casually and sat down on the stairs in despair. He whispered in a low voice, “Your Excellency, the Demon King, do you think it’s worth it?”
The first to die were your kin, and the next will be your old friend’s soul, it’s too hard to be a good person if the suffering is this severe, isn t it?
“Hehehehe.” The Demon King laughed heartily: “There’s no such thing as worth or not, only willing or not! As I am willing, it is worth it!”
“Heh.” Tang Luo curled the corner of his lips and smiled faintly: Your Highness, the smell of blood here is too strong, could you please go into slumber for a while?”
Relocation requires at least a month, and without this, he’d have no way to cultivate. So, this time he came to negotiate with the Blood God for him to fall into a sleep, making it easier for him to go back and explain.
Meanwhile, the Blood God, who had been buttered up by Tang Luo for a long time, was surprisingly agreeable: “You human race are so troublesome!” With that, the blood-faced deity disappeared, and the blood springs that had been constantly spraying blood-water also calmed down. The Blood God, once he said sleep, did not hesitate at all.
Tang Luo shookhis head, picked up the hammer, and walked out of the Underground Palace, with the phantom of the Demon King accompanying him all the way.
“Your Excellency, I’ll stop here.”
“Thankyou, young friend.”
Tang Luo shakes his head, not feeling deserving of the thanks.
“After this farewell, there will be no more meeting days, young friend, take care.”
“Your Excellency, the Demon King… walk well.”
“Hehehehe.”
The illusion of the Demon King disappears, and Tang Luo lingers at the gate of the Underground Palace for a long time. He pulls a Star of Beyond out of his pocket and throws it with strength towards the mountain peak in the south. The silver Star of Beyond draws a streak of brilliant light, embedding deep into the mountain peak.
Tang Luo squints his eyes, looking at the deep cave in the mountain, then turns his steps towards the Spirit Realm Gate.
