Chapter 1250: Peak of the Cloud Sea, The White-Clad Figure Beneath the Red Glow

Currently, outside the six Cultivation Planets of the Demon Sect, within the Rift battlefield, as the numerous Vicious Beasts retreated and roared, the sound of their fury grew increasingly intense, shaking the heavens and the earth. In the instant it shook the entire starry sky, a more powerful Aura erupted from within the Rift. The strength of this Aura was such that the moment it appeared, it forcefully suppressed the roars of all the surrounding Vicious Beasts.

A dragon-shaped Vicious Beast was seen slowly emerging from within that Rift, the moment the numerous Vicious Beasts retreated to clear a path!

This was a dragon with a jet-black body! However, it was somewhat different from a true Dragon. This dragon-beast was covered in scales, and on its head were two ferocious horns; these horns were not upright, but curved!

Its body was about several thousand zhang long. As it appeared, a heaven-shaking pressure permeated the area. Within its pair of dragon eyes, cruelty was revealed as it stared fixedly at the Cultivators outside the Rift. Its gaze swept over these Cultivators and finally landed on the three people behind the Cultivators, who were shrouded in blue mist.

The instant it saw these three, the dragon raised its head and let out a violent roar. This roar revealed madness, monstrous ferocious flames, and a sense of bloodthirst!

It recognized that blue mist. In its memory, these people filled with blue mist were their mortal enemies, preventing them from rushing out of the Rift!

"It is actually a young dragon from the Nine Nether Abyss. This dragon can no longer be judged by the rank of a Vicious Beast. Although its strength is only at the twelfth rank, it can erupt with power equivalent to an ordinary thirteenth-rank Emperor Beast that cannot take human form!"

"It is indeed a dragon from the Nine Nether Abyss. This type of dragon-beast has not appeared for a long time. The Elder once said that this beast lives in groups and is superior to beasts that can take human form. It is one of the six companion beasts of the legendary Heaven Rank Dao Beast, Jiqiong!"

"This matter is of great importance and must be reported to the Elder!" The three people shrouded in blue mist exchanged Divine Thoughts. One of them immediately took out a Jade Slip and crushed it, causing it to shatter, thereby transmitting the information.

The moment this information was transmitted, the Nine Nether Dragon within the Rift roared again. Following its roar, a large amount of black Qi immediately spewed out from the gaps between its scales all over its body. As soon as this black mist appeared, it immediately transformed into endless black skulls, which, with shrieks that could pierce the Soul, scattered in all directions and headed straight outside the Rift!

From the Rift in this place, a thunderous boom immediately erupted crazily, as if it were trembling, emitting an unbearable sound. The skulls formed from the boundless black mist roared as they arrived, rushing directly out from the Rift and pouncing ferociously toward the surrounding Cultivators.

Furthermore, behind this large number of black Qi skulls, the Vicious Beasts within the Rift followed with roars, launching an assault! However, the Nine Nether Dragon remained within the Rift and did not rush out, merely staring coldly at the outside, with a cruel expression flickering in its eyes.

The thousands of Cultivators outside the Rift had all been fighting here for at least a hundred years and had firm minds. However, they were still shaken. But having reached this point, they were absolutely not allowed to retreat without a fight. The instant those skulls pounced, these Cultivators struck one after another, engaging in a life-and-death struggle!

The six people who had been stunning and eye-catching before rushed out, heading straight toward the Nine Nether Dragon that was flying out from within the Rift.

"If the six of us join forces and kill this dragon, we can become members of the Demon Sect!" A middle-aged man among the six let out a low shout. As he performed Hand Seals with both hands, his whole body was suddenly suffused with purple light, turning entirely purple, and his Aura erupted with a boom!

The other five unfolded their strongest Divine Abilities. The middle-aged beautiful woman's hair instantly turned white. Her white hair swept out, unexpectedly forming a storm of white hair outside her body, which carried heaven-shaking power as it headed straight for the Nine Nether Dragon.

There was also the Elder with the highest cultivation. With a wave of his hands, countless Golden Cores were conjured out of thin air outside his body. These Golden Cores were similar to a Cultivator's core, but they were completely different. It was a Divine Ability created by the Elder with great wisdom, absorbing the power of heaven and earth to form Golden Cores, and then causing these Golden Cores to collapse to exchange for even greater power. As he waved his hands, in an instant, tens of thousands of Golden Cores permeated the area around his body!

There was also the cold woman. This woman bit the tip of her tongue and sprayed blood onto the thin sword in her hand. Immediately, the thin sword emitted a dazzling golden light but then instantly melted, forming a long golden river that circled around her body. The golden light was blinding, revealing a powerful destructive force as she rushed out with it!

The six great powerhouses among these thousands of Cultivators struck simultaneously, launching a heaven-shaking bombardment, and began a battle with the Nine Nether Dragon!

The other surrounding Cultivators screamed repeatedly, as the skulls formed from the black Qi were too strange. They feared no Divine Ability or Magic Treasure, passing directly through them and pouncing onto the Cultivators. The moment they entered, they exploded with a boom, forming a destructive force that caused the Physical Body of any Cultivator they pounced on to instantly collapse and their Primordial Spirit to dissipate.

Added to the numerous Cultivators rushing out from the Rift, the situation was precarious for a time!

The six great powerhouses among the Cultivators had already approached the Nine Nether Dragon and unfolded their Divine Abilities, attacking with a boom! But just as their Divine Abilities landed and their bodies approached, the Nine Nether Dragon shook its Big Head and directly opened its mouth to spew out black mist!

As soon as this mist was spewed out, it immediately transformed into a giant skull the size of a thousand zhang, which instantly headed straight for the six people!

The booming sounds were heaven-shaking in that instant. Among the four men of the six, excluding the Elder, the other three all sprayed blood, their faces pale as their bodies were sent reeling backward. A large amount of milky white Aura emerged from their seven orifices and fell together into the mouth of the skull, as if being devoured—this was their vitality!

The Elder had bloodstains at the corner of his mouth and his body retreated rapidly. A cold light appeared in his eyes. He pointed forward with both hands and shouted loudly, "Ten Thousand Cores Detonate Simultaneously!" Following his shout, the tens of thousands of Golden Cores collapsed with a boom, turning into a destructive force that fell entirely upon the giant skull.

As for the other two women, the storm of white hair outside the middle-aged beautiful woman's body collapsed with a boom. She sprayed blood and her body retreated in a hurry, but as she retreated, a large amount of her vitality was likewise sucked out.

As for the cold woman, she was bloodless. The web between her right thumb and index finger had split open, and blood stained her palm. The long golden river circling her body also slowed down, but this woman gritted her teeth and pointed her jade hand forward. Instantly, the long golden river outside her body exploded with a boom, turning into countless golden raindrops that headed straight for the skull!

The rumbling echoed, and the giant skull paused. Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Elder and the cold woman retreated immediately after unleashing their Divine Abilities.

"There are too many enemy beasts! First, sacrifice to the Formation to blast and kill them!" The Elder had great prestige among these thousands of Cultivators. As he retreated, he wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and shouted immediately!

Following his shout, the surrounding Cultivators retreated one after another, performing Hand Seals with their hands, and immediately, the light of the Formation flickered on their bodies.

"Sacrifice with vitality, invoke the Demon Sect Formation!" Thousands of people sacrificed their vitality simultaneously. In the instant they retreated, they shouted in a low voice in unison. These thousands of voices merged into one, containing a heaven-shaking pressure!

The instant their voices rang out, the giant Rift on the battlefield suddenly had a dim light flickering violently. Amidst the echoes of thunderous roars, the Rift, like a wide-open mouth, closed with a boom in an instant!

Some Vicious Beasts were unable to dodge in time and instantly collapsed into flesh and blood, dying the moment it closed. Even the Nine Nether Dragon retracted its massive dragon head amidst its roars, avoiding the crisis of being severed by the closing Rift.

Seeing this scene, the Elder sighed inwardly. He had originally intended to gather the strength of the six of them to lure the Nine Nether Dragon halfway out and then use the Formation to annihilate it, but the strength of the six of them was simply insufficient to lure the Nine Nether Dragon out.

"If Li Qianmei were here, with her cultivation and Magic Treasure, she might have been able to break the skull and make the Nine Nether Dragon poke its head out!" The Elder sighed inwardly and put away his thoughts. Taking advantage of the brief time the Rift was closed, he waved his right hand, and countless Golden Cores were conjured again, heading straight for the skull.

Together with him was the cold woman. These Cultivators had been fighting here for too many years, and their cooperation was extremely tacit. The other four did not attack the giant skull but scattered to head straight for the Vicious Beasts and those small skulls that had been isolated outside.

The three Demon Sect Cultivators shrouded in blue mist remained floating there, motionless, watching this battle and the deaths of Vicious Beasts and Cultivators. Some skulls and Vicious Beasts that rushed toward them often screamed and died the moment they got close and were touched by that mist.

"This is a battlefield; the weak cannot survive. If you want to live, if you want to become stronger and achieve a Breakthrough in your cultivation, you must pass through one life-and-death situation after another. The three of us walked this same path back then!"

"Of course, this Nine Nether Dragon is very strong. After the effect of the Formation passes, the three of us will deal with this Nine Nether Dragon."

Two voices came from the three people within the blue mist.

The sealed Rift vibrated after a moment. After being closed briefly, it gradually opened, and the roars of the Nine Nether Dragon from within boomed out.

The Elder and the cold woman were currently battling the giant skull, having trapped it, and were preparing to grind it to nothing!

The three people within the blue mist stared at the slowly opening Rift and were just about to step forward, but immediately, the expressions of all three changed drastically, and they turned their heads to look into the distance!

An indescribable whistling sound came crazily from the starry sky in the distance. This whistling sound was heaven-shaking and contained an extremely powerful Aura, which not only attracted the attention of the three Demon Sect people but also aroused the senses of the Cultivators on this battlefield.

Even the Vicious Beasts outside could not help but tremble, fear appearing in their eyes. They actually stopped attacking and retreated in unison, wanting to return inside the Rift.

Even those skulls trembled and shrieked one after another, as if they had perceived some Aura that made them fearful, and retreated rapidly!

Even the giant skull that was battling the Elder and the cold woman was stunned, and its empty eye sockets flickered with fearful ghostly fire as it struggled violently, wanting to retreat!

This sudden change caused all the Cultivators here to be greatly shaken, and they all looked toward the place in the distance from where the whistling sound came!

As far as the eye could see, a red glow was heaven-shaking. Within that red glow, there were two people coming through the air at an extremely fast speed!

That person was dressed in white, with white hair and a gloomy expression, but a powerful cultivation erupted from him, causing the starry sky to distort! Following behind this man was an old woman in white!

Today is New Year's Eve. After today, Er Gen will be a year older. Time waits for no one. With the increase in age, I have gradually become numb to the New Year; it seems that the joy of childhood is gone forever.

Especially watching my daughter's happy appearance, getting up early to ask me to take her to set off firecrackers, I am very envious…
