Chapter 2087: Blood Cloud Cauldron, Blood Moon Forbidden Light

Chen Tiandao and Yang Yaoyao's bodies radiated brilliant blood-red light. Simultaneously, they brandished their long sabers and slashed towards the void, unleashing thousands of blood-red saber qi that swept out to meet the incoming attack.

A tremendous roar echoed as the dense flying swords shattered the blood-red saber qi. Blood mist permeated the high sky, and upon contact with this mist, the flying swords' spiritual light rapidly dimmed, appearing to have lost much of their potency.

Sword Master Xiaoyao flew over, his body glowing intensely as he merged with the Taiyi Sword. The Taiyi Sword erupted with dazzling sword light, transforming into a brilliant white streak that shot directly towards Chen Tiandao and Yang Yaoyao.

"You think a Nascent Soul cultivator can harm us with a Human-Sword Fusion secret technique? You're underestimating us too much."

Chen Tiandao scoffed. He raised his right hand, and a green light flew out – a palm-sized green shield. After he cast an incantation, the green shield expanded against the wind, positioning itself in front of him. Judging by its spiritual energy fluctuations, it was clearly a defensive spirit treasure.

The Taiyi Sword struck the green shield, causing sparks to fly. Several small cracks appeared on the shield's surface.

"Break!" Sword Master Xiaoyao's loud cry emanated from the Taiyi Sword, and its sword light intensified. The cracks on the green shield's surface multiplied until it ultimately shattered into countless splinters.

A fierce glint flashed in Meng Tianzheng's eyes. He shook his right hand, and a shimmering talisman appeared in his grasp. Fine electrical arcs covered its surface, emitting a violent aura. It was a Rank 5 talisman, the Five Thunder Demon Extermination Talisman, specifically designed to counter demonic cultivators and evil paths. Sword Master Four Seasons had left a substantial inheritance, and a few Rank 5 talismans still remained by Meng Tianzheng's generation. This Five Thunder Demon Extermination Talisman was the most powerful Rank 5 talisman, and one of Meng Tianzheng's trump cards.

The Five Thunder Demon Extermination Talisman flew into the high sky, instantly exploding into an enormous five-colored thundercloud. Lightning flashed and thunder roared, obscuring a large area. With a deafening rumble, five incredibly thick lightning bolts tore through the sky, resembling five giant thunder-serpents, heading directly for Chen Tiandao and Yang Yaoyao.

Chen Tiandao snorted. He shook his right hand, and a palm-sized blood-red small cauldron flew out. A cloud pattern was engraved on its body, and its spiritual energy was astonishing. It was the Sky-Reaching Spirit Treasure, the Blood Cloud Cauldron, refined from residual defiled blood. It had absorbed the essence blood of over a hundred thousand cultivators and specialized in defiling other Sky-Reaching Spirit Treasures. Because they possessed this treasure, they had faced no formidable opponents since arriving in the East Parasol Realm. With the exception of a few rare artifacts, most treasures that came into contact with the defiled blood sprayed from the Blood Cloud Cauldron would lose much of their spiritual potency.

The Blood Cloud Cauldron sprayed out a foul, pungent blood-red liquid, forming layers of blood curtains that protected them. With a deafening rumble and thunderous roars, the five thick lightning bolts struck the blood curtain. The blood curtain immediately shattered, and dazzling lightning engulfed their figures.

A piercing sword hum resonated as the Taiyi Sword shot forward. Wherever it passed, the lightning dispersed, clearing a path. At the same time, a dazzling red light illuminated the void near the lightning. Meng Tianzheng suddenly appeared, with a pair of continuously glowing red feathered wings on his back. Their spiritual energy was astonishing, clearly indicating they were a spirit treasure. Meng Tianzheng's body erupted with raging flames, emitting a terrifying high temperature. He transformed into a red streak of light, striking towards the lightning.

Within the lightning, a blinding blood-red light flashed. The lightning suddenly dissipated, and a massive blood cocoon appeared before them. The Taiyi Sword struck the blood cocoon, and Meng Tianzheng's fists also landed on it.

With a loud bang, the blood cocoon exploded, revealing Chen Tiandao and Yang Yaoyao, enveloped in a sheet of blood-red light. The Taiyi Sword struck the blood light, appearing to be fixed in place, unable to advance. Meng Tianzheng was similarly affected.

"Is that all? It seems the Taiyi Immortal Sect is nothing special." Chen Tiandao's face showed derision. They were least afraid of close-quarters combat. The blood light was the Blood Moon Forbidden Light, a defensive divine ability.

Chen Tiandao opened his mouth and sprayed out a stream of blood-red flames onto the Taiyi Sword. The Taiyi Sword's spiritual light rapidly dimmed. Yang Yaoyao swung her saber, slashing at the Taiyi Sword.

"Clang!"

With a dull thud, the Taiyi Sword was sent flying backward, continuously emitting piercing sword hums and shaking violently, but to no avail. With a tremendous roar, the peak of a mountain exploded. The Taiyi Sword was embedded in the ground, its spiritual light dim.

Sword Master Xiaoyao lay on the ground, panting, his face pale. The Taiyi Sword was extraordinarily powerful, but the flames spewed by Chen Tiandao had defiled it, significantly reducing its might.

Chen Tiandao and Yang Yaoyao swung their sabers, slashing at Meng Tianzheng. Meng Tianzheng moved his arms, meeting the attack. With dull thuds, Meng Tianzheng's arms were cut open with two gashes, his bones faintly visible. Any other Soul Transformation cultivator would have had their hands severed, but Meng Tianzheng was a body cultivator, which was fortunate.

Chen Tiandao flicked his sleeve, and the Blood Demon Blade shot out, transforming into a blood-red long rainbow. It instantly appeared before Meng Tianzheng and slashed down directly. Meng Tianzheng raised both arms to block above his head. With a dull thud, his arms were severed by the Blood Demon Blade. The Blood Demon Blade emitted a dazzling blood-red light, and Meng Tianzheng let out a tragic cry. His body shriveled at a visible rate, turning into a mummified corpse. The terrifying aspect of the Blood Demon Blade was its ability to drain a cultivator's essence blood with even a slight graze. The Blood Demon Blade sliced the corpse into two, destroying the Nascent Soul before it could escape.

"I'll fight you to the death! Sect Master Senior Brother, retreat quickly!" Sword Master Xiaoyao's face showed grief and indignation. He transformed into a streak of light and merged with the Taiyi Sword, once again turning into a long rainbow that shot directly towards Chen Tiandao. This time, the rainbow's speed was much slower, and the Taiyi Sword swayed unsteadily.

"You're courting death. We'll grant it to you." Chen Tiandao and Yang Yaoyao crossed their long sabers. They slashed towards the void, and two dazzling blood-red saber qi swept out in a cross-pattern, striking towards the Taiyi Sword.

"Clang!"

The Taiyi Sword flew backward, and Sword Master Xiaoyao shot out from it, spitting out a large mouthful of essence blood, his face turning pale. The two blood-red saber qi shot directly towards Sword Master Xiaoyao, poised to kill him.

Just then, a green long rainbow descended from the sky, blocking the two blood-red saber qi.

"Who dares to ruin our plans?" Chen Tiandao said coldly, looking up into the high sky.

A green light appeared on the distant horizon, rapidly flying towards their location. Soon after, the green light stopped, revealing Wang Qingshan. His eyes were filled with murderous intent, and his clothes swayed in the wind. After returning to the Eastern Barren Lands, he learned from his clan members there that Qinglian Island had been attacked, and its residents had hidden in the seabed to evade the enemy, with unknown casualties. He had rushed to the Taiyi Immortal Sect, intending to use their teleportation array to return to the South Sea, and incidentally to ask Meng Tianzheng to help eliminate the culprits. To his surprise, upon his arrival at the Taiyi Immortal Sect, he found that the enemies had already launched an assault on the sect.

"Sword Master Qinglian?" Yang Yaoyao narrowed her eyes, which were filled with cold light. Liu Wuya had mentioned this person to them.

"You two are the Blood Fiend Twin Saints from the Ice Sea Realm, aren't you? You slaughtered all the high-level cultivators in the Ice Sea Realm, and now you've come to the East Parasol Realm to unleash another massacre. Do you truly believe no one can stop you?" Wang Qingshan said in a deep voice. Cultivators from the Tianlan Realm had united their strength, but the factions in the East Parasol Realm usually operated independently, making them easily defeated one by one. Almost all high-level cultivators in the Ice Sea Realm had been wiped out by the Blood Fiend Twin Saints. Because cultivators at the mid-Soul Transformation stage could not ascend to the Spirit Realm, cultivators from the three realms made different choices.
