Chapter 350: Blood Fiend Commander, Heaven Fiend Commander

"The damage to the Seal here is probably even worse than in the Ice-Sealed Demon Cave."

Wang Liang said in a heavy voice.

Zhou Chen nodded.

Deep within the rift, there was an extremely terrifying aura.

This aura felt even more powerful than that of the Ice Fiend Commander.

"Could the one sealed inside also be a Fiend Commander?"

Zhou Chen asked.

Wang Liang remained silent for a moment before slowly saying, "The Blood Fiend Commander."

"One of the Fiend Commanders of the Outer Domain Evil Demons, also possessing a cultivation at the Quasi-Immortal Realm."

"Back then, the mighty experts fought a great battle against the Blood Fiend Commander and eventually sealed him here."

"However, the Blood Fiend Commander's strength is even greater than the Ice Fiend Commander's."

Zhou Chen sucked in a breath of cold air.

Another evil demon at the Quasi-Immortal Realm.

And it was even stronger than the Ice Fiend Commander.

"Let's go down and take a look," Zhou Chen said.

Wang Liang nodded, and the two of them activated their spiritual energy to descend slowly.

The deeper they went into the rift, the denser the surrounding blood-colored mist became.

This mist not only corroded the Physical Body but also eroded the Divine Soul.

Zhou Chen activated his Azure Lotus Creation Body, forming a layer of green light on his body's surface to isolate the mist.

Wang Liang activated the Power of Destiny, similarly forming a protective layer.

The two of them descended for several thousand feet before finally reaching the bottom of the rift.

Before them was a world of blood.

The ground, the walls, and even the air were all blood-red.

In the center of the rift, a massive blood-colored crystal floated.

The crystal was a hundred feet in diameter, and a blurry figure was sealed within.

That figure was precisely the Blood Fiend Commander.

Zhou Chen stared at the crystal, a trace of solemnity flashing in his eyes.

He could feel that the aura of the Blood Fiend Commander inside the crystal was extremely unstable.

At times it was powerful, and at times it was weak.

Clearly, the Seal had loosened, and the Blood Fiend Commander could escape at any moment.

"The runes on the crystal are already half-damaged."

"If we don't reinforce it as soon as possible, the Blood Fiend Commander will escape within ten days at most."

Wang Liang said softly, her expression turning increasingly grim.

Zhou Chen nodded, and the two of them immediately sprang into action.

Wang Liang took out Materials and began to set up a Formation.

Zhou Chen was responsible for repairing the runes on the crystal.

However, the difficulty of this repair was far higher than that of the Ice-Sealed Demon Cave.

The runes on the crystal were extremely complex, and many were completely destroyed, requiring them to be redrawn.

Zhou Chen focused intently, carving the runes stroke by stroke.

Every rune carved required a massive amount of spiritual energy and Mental Energy.

Time passed minute by minute.

Three hours later, Zhou Chen finally finished carving half of the runes.

But at that moment, the crystal suddenly trembled violently.

A terrifying pressure erupted from within the crystal.

"Not good, the Seal is loosening!" Wang Liang's face changed drastically.

Zhou Chen's heart sank.

He could feel the aura of the Blood Fiend Commander inside the crystal rising rapidly.

Clearly, it felt the Seal being reinforced and wanted to take the opportunity to escape.

"We must speed up!" Zhou Chen said in a low voice.

He pushed his spiritual energy to the limit and frantically carved the runes.

On Wang Liang's side, she was also desperately setting up the Formation.

But the Blood Fiend Commander's awakening speed was even faster than they had imagined.

Cracks began to appear on the crystal.

The cracks grew more numerous and larger.

Seeing that the crystal was about to shatter, a thought suddenly occurred to Zhou Chen.

He thought of the Grandmist Profound Ice Emperor Marrow within his body.

Although he had absorbed the energy of the Emperor Marrow, a trace of residual power remained.

With the experience of reinforcing the Ice Fiend Commander's Seal, if he integrated this trace of power into the Seal, he might be able to temporarily suppress the Blood Fiend Commander.

Zhou Chen did not hesitate and immediately activated the residual power of the Emperor Marrow within his body.

An extremely pure ice-based energy surged from his body and integrated into the crystal.

In the next second, the cracks on the crystal began to heal slowly.

The Blood Fiend Commander's aura was also suppressed.

Wang Liang watched this scene in surprise.

"This is… the Law of Ice?"

"And it's even the Law of Ice at the state of Perfection?"

She looked at Zhou Chen in shock.

Zhou Chen was only at the Sixth Layer of the Emperor Realm, yet he had already comprehended the Law of Ice to Perfection?

Such talent was simply unheard of.

Zhou Chen did not explain but continued to carve the runes.

With the suppression from the Emperor Marrow's power, the Blood Fiend Commander was temporarily unable to wake up.

This gave Zhou Chen and Wang Liang enough time.

After another two hours, the two of them finally finished reinforcing the Seal.

The runes on the crystal glowed once more.

The Formation Wang Liang had set up also began to operate, enveloping the entire rift.

"Alright, the Seal has been reinforced," Wang Liang said with a sigh of relief.

"This time, the Seal can last at least another two months."

Zhou Chen nodded, and the two of them immediately left the Blood Fiend Abyss.

Over the next few days, Zhou Chen and Wang Liang inspected three more Seals.

The situation at every Seal was far from optimistic.

Some Seals were already half-damaged, and some even showed signs of collapsing.

Moreover, they were attacked every time they reached a location.

Sometimes it was assassins from the Nether Soul Sacred Hall, sometimes it was Cultivators from the Blood God Sect, and once, they even encountered an Elder from the Jiang Family Imperial Clan.

That Imperial Clan Elder was extremely powerful, having reached the Eighth Layer of the Emperor Realm.

If not for Zhou Chen's many trump cards, the two of them would likely have died at his hands.

However, Zhou Chen also gained a lot from these battles.

He not only became familiar with the application of three Perfected Laws, but his combat experience also improved significantly.

Additionally, he found some valuable intelligence in that Imperial Clan Elder's storage ring.

It turned out that the Jiang Family was not the only Imperial Clan involved in destroying the Seals.

At least three Imperial Clans, three Demonic Path Holy Lands, and countless small to medium-sized forces were involved in this plan.

Their goal was to completely break the Seals and release the Outer Domain Evil Demons.

As for the reason, the Outer Domain Evil Demons had promised that as long as they were helped to escape, they would bestow great power upon these forces.

"What a bunch of fools."

Zhou Chen sneered.

"They actually dare to believe the lies of the Outer Domain Evil Demons?"

"Once the demons are free, the first ones to suffer will be these traitors."

Wang Liang nodded. "There's no other way. For those old fellows whose Lifespan is near its end, increasing their cultivation has a fatal attraction. Even if it's an evil path, they don't care."

"We've already inspected six Seals; only one remains."

"After inspecting the last one, we'll return to the Academy immediately."

Zhou Chen nodded and took out a map to check.

The final Seal was located in the deepest part of Demon Burial Ridge.

That was the core battlefield where the mighty experts of old had their final showdown with the Outer Domain Evil Demons.

Supposedly, the head of the Fiend Commanders—the Heaven Fiend Commander—was sealed there.

The Heaven Fiend Commander's strength far exceeded that of the other Fiend Commanders.

The deeper they went into Demon Burial Ridge, the more terrifying the surrounding environment became.

The sky turned pitch black, with not a single ray of light visible.

On the ground, there were massive cracks and deep pits everywhere.

In some of the pits, traces of the great battle from back then still remained.

Broken Magic Treasures, incomplete skeletal remains, and those eternal demonic fires and Dao principles…

Everything spoke of how tragic and fierce that great battle had been.

Zhou Chen and Wang Liang moved forward cautiously, not daring to be the least bit careless.
