Chapter 212: Reactions from all parties, the reappearance of the magic trace

. “I feel the bottleneck is loosening.”

In Zhongzhou, within a powerful sect, a middle-aged man in a purple robe stood atop a mountain, his eyes slightly closed, carefully sensing the changes in the world following the unusual movement.

“But it’s not enough. This little change alone won’t allow me to break through.”

The purple-robed middle-aged man opened his eyes and shook his head, but he couldn’t hide the joy in his eyes.

After all, for so many years, he had been stuck in the Perfection of the Innate Realm. No matter how hard he practiced, his cultivation hadn’t advanced an inch.

Now that he finally saw hope, how could he not be ecstatic?

After his joy, the purple-robed middle-aged man looked in a certain direction, hatred in his eyes.

“Rumor has it that the rules of the Four Secret Lands differ from those of the outside world, allowing those unfettered by the laws of the universe to reach realms beyond the innate realm.

This is why the Four Secret Lands are so mysterious, allowing even one person to stir up chaos and command awe from all sects.

But now, the world’s transformation has begun, and the shackles are about to be broken. Then, the natural advantages of the Four Secret Lands will vanish.

Yunshui Secret Land, one day, I, Long Tian, will storm into this secret land and crush you all under my feet, avenging the loss of my wife!”

In Jeju,

in a remote, deserted village,

a strange figure with disheveled hair, an aged complexion, and an exceptionally strong body was assaulting several bound young warriors in front of him.

Then, upon hearing the nine sounds of heaven and earth, his face lit up with ecstasy.

“Hahahaha… The Dao Sound of Heaven and Earth, this world is truly about to revive. I’ve truly waited, truly waited!

Heaven has not been kind to me, Heaven has not been kind to me! I’ve finally made it to this day!

I, the last incarnation of the Ten Directions Demon Lord, have finally survived, and have even awaited such a great opportunity.

Heaven and Earth are reviving, spiritual energy is reappearing, yet this world is still devoid of immortality. This is my greatest opportunity, my greatest opportunity!”

The strange figure cried out to the heavens, his voice crazed. The young warriors nearby trembled and shuddered, wondering what this demon had been up to.

But the next moment, the strange figure suddenly glared at them.

“The revival of Heaven and Earth is imminent. I must quickly restore my cultivation to the Xiantian realm and truly cultivate my Blood Refining Demonic Art. Only then will I have enough to compete for these opportunities.”

“Ah! Senior, spare me, spare me!”

The young warriors, seeing the strange figure’s bloodshot eyes, cried out in fear.

But it was all in vain. The strange figure ignored the cries of the others and grasped one of the girls by the head.

His demonic power unleashed, drawing streams of energy and vitality from her body and absorbing them into his body.

The girl, her face etched with agony, aged visibly.

Before long, when the strange figure released his hand, the girl collapsed to the side, her face haggard, her life force fading.

“Big Brother, save me…”

she muttered before finally fading.

“Little Junior Sister!!!”

This horrific scene terrified the other young warriors, their cries of fear rising in frenzy.

But no matter how they struggled, their fate was certain.

As the strange figure’s palms continued to fall, each warrior died as he rapidly drained their energy and blood.

As the last young man’s vital energy was drained, his dying breath was filled with endless regret.

I knew it a long time ago that I should have listened to my master’s teachings. These days, I should have stayed in the sect and not gone out.

But he was so confident in his own strength that he thought that with the sword formation of his fellow disciples, he could easily kill the demon and enhance the prestige of the sect.

Who could have imagined that the demon was so terrifying that he broke their sword formation with just a few moves, abducted them here, and killed them with evil magic.

“Junior brother, junior sister, I’m sorry for you…”

the young man muttered, and with endless regret, he took his last breath.

The strange man’s face remained unchanged when he heard the young man’s words.

He didn’t know how many times he had heard similar words.

In his long life, he had done things that were countless times more cruel than this.

Crushing a few small insects to death was nothing to him.

He sat down cross-legged, practiced his energy for a while, and absorbed the essence and blood he had absorbed, but the strange man frowned.

“The talents of these useless bastards are so poor they can’t even improve my fundamental strength.

It seems ordinary warriors are of no use to me. Only those once-in-a-century cultivation geniuses can further elevate the aptitude of this body.”

“Yun’er, Yun’er! Where are you?”

Just as the strange man was pondering, an anxious cry interrupted his thoughts.

The voice, full of energy and resonating for miles, clearly belonged to a master of the Xiantian realm.

Without hesitation, the strange man immediately restrained his aura, activated his acrobatics, and quietly departed.

At this point, facing a martial arts master of the Xiantian realm was still a struggle for him.

His Blood Refining Technique hadn’t yet been fully mastered, and a head-on confrontation would easily put him at a disadvantage.

“Hmph! When I master my magic and achieve a breakthrough, I’ll definitely capture a few Xiantian realm masters to eat and satisfy my cravings!”

Forced to leave by a mere Xiantian realm, the strange man felt a surge of anger.

“Ah! Devil! I, Li Jiansheng, swear, no matter how far I pursue you, I will slay you with my sword!”

Just after the strange man left, more than ten breaths later, an extremely shrill roar rang out from the deserted village.

The strange man, who had already fled far away, heard the roar with a hint of disdain.

“The various sects and families are sending more and more Xiantian Realm warriors. Those talented warriors are hiding in their sects and refusing to come out. Jeju is no longer suitable for staying here. It’s time to move on. But where should I go?”

Putting the previous incident behind him, the strange man began to think again.

“If I want to continue improving my physique, I must continue to absorb the vital energy, blood, and bone marrow of young talented warriors, seizing their foundations for my own use.

The young warriors in Jeju are already terrified by me, and won’t be traveling for a while. But other states aren’t in such a state of panic.

I hear that in neighboring Cangzhou, a truly gifted warrior emerged two years ago. At only seventeen, he’s already ranked high on the Hidden Dragon Ranking.

Rumors even swirl that he might be the legendary Son of Destiny.” The more

the strange man thought about it, the brighter his eyes lit up.

“The world is reviving, spiritual energy is reappearing. During this period of great change, many talented individuals born with destiny will emerge.

If I can plunder the foundations of these peerless geniuses, I will surely be able to forge a supreme physique!

With this foundation, I can lay the strongest demonic foundation. Even becoming a demon ancestor will be a piece of cake!

That kid from Cangzhou, I think his name is Lu Qing.

My first step on the road to power begins with you!”
