The Sims: I Open the Immortal Path for All Beings

Chapter 868: Chapter 818: Blood God’s Son, Dragon and Tiger Dilemma

Blood Fiend Ancestor, a colossal figure of the Demonic Way and a famous powerhouse, had put everything he had into this attempt at the Way of Enlightenment.

Rolling down like a sweeping tide from heaven, the blood-colored flow engulfed the void. Blood Fiend Ancestor’s flesh seemed to dissipate, merging into the River of Blood. From then on, he became the River of Blood, and the River of Blood was him.

The currents between Heaven and Earth swept violently, as if slapping and rolling, attempting to disperse the River of Blood. The howling Gang wind sliced through the void, nearly shattering the emptiness.

However, Blood Fiend Ancestor remained utterly indifferent. His silhouette manifested within the River of Blood. Though it was only a shadow, his divine eyes shone brilliantly, casting a red light that illuminated the eight directions, like a blood-colored Big Sun enveloping everything around it. A terrifying aura emanated from him, the sweeping essence of Heaven and Earth not only failed to scatter the River of Blood but was instead tainted red, forming wave after wave of blood.

“Dao-Certifying True Immortal, condensing the Blood River Dao Fruit begins at this moment!” The silhouette of Blood Fiend Ancestor emerged once again, his blood-red Daoist robe flaring and fluttering, his hair flying wildly, stirring the rolling Blood River.

“Blood Fiend Ancestor, your life is forfeit!”

Just then, the voice of a supreme Demon Race powerhouse resounded between Heaven and Earth, followed by several terrifying divine abilities descending upon the blood-colored long river, seemingly intent on annihilating Blood Fiend Ancestor and the River of Blood altogether.

“Evil demon, how dare you!”

“Evil demon, meet your demise!”

“Dastardly fiend!”

The powerhouses invited by Blood Fiend Ancestor to protect the Way reacted swiftly. The moment those supreme Demon Race powerhouses made their move, they too responded, striking fiercely to thwart the divine abilities aimed at Blood Fiend Ancestor.

At the critical moment of condensing the True Immortal Dao Fruit, Blood Fiend Ancestor saw the Demon King blocked and, without a second thought, focused entirely on condensing his own True Immortal Dao Fruit.

The clash of the supreme powerhouses stirred Heaven and Earth, shattered the void, made mountains and rivers sway, and the stars twinkle.

Although these powerhouses of the Demonic Way were not as strong as those of the Demon Race, they had bought Blood Fiend Ancestor enough time.

Suddenly, Blood Fiend Ancestor opened his eyes, and the aura around him changed instantly. In a cold voice, he said, “Today, let these evil demons become the first group of Blood God’s sons in my River of Blood!”

As his words ended, a vast expanse of blood fog enveloped the sky, falling upon those Demon Race powerhouses. Like demons from hell, messengers of death, it was as if they were grim reapers come to collect souls, utterly terrifying.

…

“Blood Path, as long as the River of Blood does not dry, Blood Fiend does not die, truly terrifying. To become a colossal figure of the Demonic Way is indeed no ordinary feat!” Zhu Houji watched the projection of Blood Fiend Ancestor demonstrate his divine might. Although the transformation was not yet complete, he could effortlessly suppress several supreme Demon Race powerhouses, and he spoke with a heavy tone.

Zhu Houji had a deep sense of wariness towards such a colossal figure of the Demonic Way, even if that person was a powerhouse of the human race. Especially the Blood God’s sons that Blood Fiend Ancestor later deployed, they deeply alarmed Zhu Houji.

The terror of this Blood Fiend Son seemed boundless, as if one whose power was inferior and could not evade would be drained of their blood to wither into a dried corpse in the blink of an eye. Truly, it was exceedingly horrific.

The mere thought of coming face to face with such a demonic figure, causing unbridled mayhem within the Great Ming Divine Dynasty, could turn the entire dynasty into a blood-soaked hell, with all becoming avatars born of his Sea of Blood.

“The Sea of Blood does not dry, the Blood Fiend does not die?” Pei Xuanjing’s eyes gleamed with a strange light as he muttered to himself, “Is this true, or is it false? Could there truly be a powerhouse who would so openly declare their weakness to the world without concern for others deliberately targeting it?”

Observing the process of the Blood Fiend Ancestor’s Dao certification certainly reminded Pei Xuanjing of some legends and myths from a previous life. A primordial Demon God, born with the opening of Heaven and Earth, also resided within the Sea of Blood, becoming one with it, known as the one who does not perish as long as the Sea of Blood does not dry.

But whether this was indeed a true weakness or a deliberate misdirection, no one could say.

However, if one were to believe a great figure of the Demonic Way regarding their own weakness and not worry about others targeting them, that would be no small folly.

“Master Pei, are you implying this is a deliberate misdirection put forth by the adversary?” Zhu Houji’s expression turned grave.

He naturally grasped Pei Xuanjing’s meaning but was somewhat puzzled.

Pei Xuanjing shook his head, indicating he had no intention of further discussion. Instead, he signaled, “The Ancestor Celestial Master at Dragon Tiger Mountain has encountered some trouble, and perhaps you will need to intervene.”

He intended to say more, but at this moment, through the Taixu Mirror, he saw certain events unfolding at Dragon Tiger Mountain. It appeared the Ancestor Celestial Master currently in the process of Dao certification was in trouble and might need the assistance of Wu Shijiu and others.

It was mentioned before that among the top forces in the world, without getting into the Demonic Way or Buddhism School, Dragon Tiger Mountain was the chief of the Taoist School. However, Dragon Tiger Mountain had the fewest top powerhouses, with only the Ancestor Celestial Master and the Second Generation Celestial Master besides. Even though not long ago, Dragon Tiger Mountain had invested a great deal to recreate another supreme powerhouse, this powerhouse still had to join forces with the human race’s Righteous Path to head for the Demon Domain. In essence, the Ancestor Celestial Master only had the protection of the Second Generation Celestial Master for his Dao certification.

Three supreme powerhouses from the Demon Race had now come, equally representing the dispatched forces of the Demon Race, which represented an imminent crisis for Dragon Tiger Mountain—a structure on the verge of collapse.

In the past, three supreme powerhouses would not have been a concern, even if they faced only the Ancestor Celestial Master or the combined strength of the Ancestor Celestial Master and the Second Generation Celestial Master, either alone would have been sufficient to suppress them.

However, the current situation was different, with the Ancestor Celestial Master unable to divide his attention from his task. The method of the Ancestor Celestial Master’s Dao certification was distinct from others; during the process of certifying as a True Immortal, he had to develop a Talismanic divine system to invite future devotees. It was now necessary for the Second Generation Celestial Master to halt the advance of the three supreme Demon Race powerhouses.

Despite holding a top-tier Divine Weapon like the Yin-Yang Evil-Slaying Treasure Sword, the Second Generation Celestial Master was not confident of holding back the three great Demon Kings before him.

After all, if it were a straightforward battle to the death, with a top-tier Divine Weapon and the divine power of the Five Thunder Righteous Law, he would have been entirely capable of delaying the adversaries for quite some time.

But the situation was indeed different; these three Demon Kings aimed to disrupt the Ancestor Celestial Master’s Dao certification. They had no need to engage in a death match with the Second Generation Celestial Master; by simply tying him down, they could spare the strength to confront the Ancestor Celestial Master.

At this moment, the Ancestor Celestial Master was preoccupied with organizing the Divine Tao system for his tribulation, without spare capacity. And should there be an interruption, even if he ascended to True Immortal status, it would signify an incomplete Dao certification, later requiring countless efforts to remedy.

As the Second Generation Celestial Master was caught in his worrisome thoughts, a piercing cold voice came through, followed swiftly by a terrifying sword qi cleaving across ten thousand miles.

“What kind of evil demon dares to run wild on Dragon Tiger Mountain—seeking death, are you?”
