People are Behind the Scenes, and I Can Do the Material Fusion!

158: The true self has arrived!Unfortunately, the warning came too late.

“Crack—”

With a crisp sound like shattering porcelain, Blood Skull Demon King’s body exploded!

Amidst the towering blood waves, a dark red figure, shorter than an average person, slowly stood up.

His figure was roughly human-like, but his entire body was covered in crystallized scabs of blood, and seven slowly rotating skull gems floated above his head.

The moment he opened his eyes, living beings within a radius of ten thousand miles almost simultaneously heard the sound of their own blood boiling.

“Thank you for helping me shed this cumbersome shell.”

Blood Skull Demon King’s voice was deep and eerie, as if a thousand people were whispering in one’s ear.

“Now… let us begin the true revelry.”

He lightly snapped his fingers.

“Puff! Puff! Puff!”

In an instant, all injured cultivators within a million-mile radius above Tianwu World exploded into blood mist, and even Ice Profound God General, one of the Seven Great Divine Generals guarding the realm, transformed into a grotesque sculpture intertwined with ice crystals and flesh.

The sky-filling blood mist condensed into hundreds of millions of tiny blood needles, pouring down like a torrential rain, directly targeting the survivors.

“Form up!”

Azure Sky Thunder Lord roared, plunging his thunder spear into the ground, and the other five Divine Generals immediately joined forces to set up a hexagram formation.

As soon as the defensive barrier formed, they discovered in horror that the blood needles directly penetrated the barrier.

These attacks simply did not obey physical laws!

In the nick of time, Old Ancestor Qixia’s Jade Pure Bottle suddenly flew up on its own.

Innate Bagua patterns appeared on the bottle, and a huge vortex formed at its mouth, sucking in all the blood needles.

“Oh?”

Blood Skull Demon King tilted his head slightly, “It seems your little toy is quite interesting…”

Before he finished speaking, the Jade Pure Bottle trembled violently, and spiderweb-like cracks rapidly spread across its surface.

Old Ancestor Qixia’s face changed drastically, and she hurriedly formed hand seals to recall her magic treasure, but then she saw Blood Skull Demon King’s true form appear before her like a ghost.

His speed was so fast that even Wen Tian Sword Master couldn’t react in time!

“Here, take it back.” The Demon King chuckled lightly and flicked his finger.

“Boom—!”

The Jade Pure Bottle exploded on the spot, and the billions of blood needles accumulated within it, along with the power of purification, rebounded.

Old Ancestor Qixia’s colorful phoenix let out a mournful cry, swallowed by the blood wave;

Her protective divine light, like thin paper, instantly shattered.

“Old Ancestor!” Martial Zenith Heavenly Lord’s eyes were bloodshot, and amidst his furious roar, nine golden dragons roared out from his body.

However, Blood Skull Demon King merely waved his hand casually.

The golden dragons suddenly turned around, coiling around Martial Zenith Heavenly Lord himself like a giant zongzi.

“Look, look!” The Demon King gesticulated excitedly,

“Your struggles are just like little moths caught in a spiderweb!”

Wen Tian Sword Master suddenly closed his eyes, and the ancient sword in his hand let out a low tremor, as if wailing.

When he opened his eyes again, two rotating sword formations had appeared in his pupils.

“Merging with the Dao.”

These four simple words caused the laws of heaven and earth throughout the entire Tianwu World to tremble.

The Sword Master’s figure began to blur, gradually becoming transparent, as if he was merging with this world.

Blood Skull Demon King showed a surprised expression for the first time:

“To forcibly merge with the Dao by burning one’s origin? It seems I really pushed him too hard.”

“This sword strike, for all living beings.”

The voice came from all directions, ethereal and resolute.

Just as he completely disappeared, the innate flying swords of all sword cultivators in Tianwu World simultaneously unsheathed, transforming into streaks of light and rushing towards the sky.

Millions of flying swords converged in the clouds, forming a gigantic sword shadow that spanned the horizon.

Wen Tian Sword Master’s face appeared on the sword body.

He took one last look at the world below, and then—

The giant sword fell.

The light of that sword strike was indescribable.

Time seemed to stand still, and space was neatly split in half.

Blood Skull Demon King let out a sharp shriek, and his seven skull gems exploded one after another.

He frantically waved his arms, creating layers of blood shields, but in front of the sword light, they all instantly dissipated like foam.

“No! This is impossible… Ah!!!”

The moment the sword light engulfed the Demon King, the entire Tianwu World seemed to hear the sound of something shattering.

It sounded like the indestructible core of the Calamity Court’s monarch being severed.

The light gradually faded, and golden rain began to fall from the sky.

That was the lingering aftermath of Wen Tian Sword Master’s dissipation of the Dao, with each raindrop containing a faint trace of sword intent.

The land polluted by the blood rain miraculously recovered its vitality upon contact with the golden rain.

The surviving cultivators knelt on the ground, weeping uncontrollably; the Seven Great Divine Generals supporting each other stood up;

Even the heavily injured Old Ancestor Qixia revealed a relieved smile.

“Is… is it over?” Azure Sky Thunder Lord looked at the sky, which had become clear again, his voice filled with disbelief.

Martial Zenith Heavenly Lord broke free from the golden dragons’Bondage, but his expression suddenly changed:

“No! There’s still a strange aura lingering!”

Before anyone could react, an unsettling fluctuation filled the air…

The golden raindrops falling from the sky suddenly stopped in mid-air.

Each raindrop began to twist and turn black, eventually transforming into countless strange runes, floating between heaven and earth, as if some ancient summoning was being awakened.

“Crack… crack crack…”

A chilling cracking sound came from the void, as if the entire world was slowly being torn apart by something.

“Boom—!”

The sky suddenly collapsed, and a gigantic blood-red eye peered out from thecrack, coldly looking down at the world below.

“Foolish ants…”

A deep voice echoed in the air; it was not Blood Skull Demon King, but an even older, more terrifying existence.

“Who do you think… you killed?”

As soon as the words fell, the lands that had been purified by the golden rain violently churned.

Countless fleshy tentacles burst from the ground, frantically devouring everything around them.

Even more terrifyingly, the cultivators and common people who had been slain by Wen Tian Sword Master climbed out of the blood pool one by one.

Their bodies twisted and deformed, bones piercing through their skin, turning them into hideous flesh puppets.

“No… impossible!” Old Ancestor Qixia’s face was as pale as paper.

“You… you were clearly obliterated at your origin, how could you still be alive?”

“Obliterated origin?”

A playful voice echoed from all directions.

Everyone suddenly turned their heads, only to see a blurred figure slowly condensing in the void.

He was a young man in blood-red robes, with a handsome but demonic face, and a crazed smile on his lips.

Seven crimson skull gems floated above his head, each emitting a heart-palpitating aura.

“What you killed was merely a ‘skin’ of mine.”

He lightly raised his hand, and his fingertip subtly hooked.

“Pfft—!”

Ice Profound God General exploded without warning, his flesh and blood transforming into a river of blood, which was absorbed into the man’s palm.

He licked his lips, a hint of morbid pleasure flashing in his eyes:

“Tastes good.”

“You… who exactly are you?!” Martial Zenith Heavenly Lord roared.

The man tilted his head, smiling even more brightly.

“Me? I am Blood Skull.”
