Chapter 485: Chapter 485 - Split in Two, Blood Spirit Sting Shows Its might

”The Nine-tailed Demon Fox Clan truly lives up to its reputation. Having cultivated to the highest Nine-tailed Realm is equivalent to having nine lives. Such an Innate Divine Ability, we human cultivators can’t help but envy...” A middle-aged man, standing far away, looked at the Nine-tailed Fox Demon’s restored tail, which had just been severed, envy clear on his face. Most of the other human cultivators shared this sentiment.

”This small squad only has six members and was previously dismissed by everyone as weak. Who would have thought that they would be this formidable when engaged in battle with the Demon Clan?” another human cultivator commented with a laugh, stroking his chin.

”Isn’t that the truth? Especially that Nine-tailed Spirit Cat—the bloody Divine Skill it displayed was astounding! That Divine Skill primarily relies on speed and overwhelming power; it’s incredibly hard to resist,” a young man in his early twenties sighed. He was only at Destiny Realm Level Six, sharing the same cultivation base as the Nine-tailed Spirit Cat. If faced with that bloody Divine Skill, he doubted his ability to withstand it.

Fortunately, there were many human cultivators in the Nether Immortal Ancient Land, especially with several Supreme Major Sects present. The Demon Clan couldn’t afford to act recklessly. Nor did the Demon Clan dare to provoke human cultivators, unless they encountered a Divine Element Longevity Fruit that both sides coveted... That, however, was a different story. A Divine Element Longevity Fruit over a thousand years old? Even teams from different Supreme Major Sects would fight over such a treasure.

”Senior Sister, they say cats have nine lives. It seems the Nine-tailed Demon Fox Clan is much the same. This tail-severing Divine Ability of the Nine-tailed Demon Fox Clan is truly impressive—quite an eye-opener,” Jun Moxiao muttered.

”What’s so special about it? Severing a tail means dropping a cultivation realm. That’s a considerable sacrifice,” Luo Li curled her lips, indifferent.

The three of them currently had cultivation bases that were too low; they could only rely on the Sky Exterminating Phantom Eye for surprise attacks at critical moments. Even as they chatted, the three of them didn’t cease absorbing spirit stones.

BANG!

With a soft sound, Jun Moxiao’s body trembled slightly. In an instant, his cultivation progressed from the peak of Nirvana Realm Level Three to Nirvana Realm Level Four.

”Senior Sister, I’ve broken through again!” Jun Moxiao communicated excitedly.

”We’re almost there too. Junior Brother, you’re now at the peak of Nirvana Realm Level Three as well,” Luo Li smiled faintly, not stopping her absorption of spirit stones.

Nearby, Cat Baobao also focused on absorbing spirit stones. However, in her other hand, she took out the Heavenly Spirit Mirror, prepared to fight at any moment. Cat Baobao was currently at the peak of Nirvana Realm Level Two, on the verge of breaking through to Nirvana Realm Level Three.

The commotion of their breakthrough attracted the attention of some cultivators around the Heavenly Mechanism Tower.

”Those youngsters are truly diligent. For the past few days, they’ve been relentlessly absorbing spirit stones, and now someone has finally broken through,” an old man chuckled. He greatly admired such hardworking young talents.

In another direction, a middle-aged man shook his head slightly with disdain. ”These kids are only focused on cultivation and haven’t ventured out much. I doubt they’ve obtained many Divine Element Longevity Fruits.”

The old man heard this but remained unconcerned, merely focusing on the ongoing battle.

WHOOSH! WHOOSH! WHOOSH!

Sword-lights descended like a tide, like streaks of stunning rainbows, from all directions towards the Black Rock Demon.

HISS! HISS! Rows of earth spikes continuously erupted from the ground, thrusting towards Mu Qing.

BOOM! BOOM!

The sword-lights crashed into the earth spikes, shattering countless of them. The battle between the two Destiny Realm Level Nine cultivators had reached a fever pitch, drawing the gazes of many human cultivators nearby.

In mid-air, the Big Black Cat observed Mu Qing fighting fiercely against the Black Rock Demon without falling behind, which eased his worries. He took out his Black Shield and, looking down at the Nine-tailed Fox Demon, sneered, ”This tail-severing, life-saving Divine Ability is nothing special. It’s far inferior to us Nine-tailed Spirit Cats.”

”You’re a Nine-tailed Fox Demon, and he’s a Nine-tailed Spirit Cat. Both belong to the Nine-tailed clans and should, in principle, share a common origin. Why must you fight so fiercely?” a human cultivator at Destiny Realm Tenth Level chimed in, seemingly egging them on.

”I have an irreconcilable feud with this vixen!” Big Black Cat waved his hand, his expression stern.

”Nine-tailed Spirit Cat, prepare to die!” After recovering, the Nine-tailed Fox Demon’s complexion was somewhat pale. Having bought herself a few seconds, she gathered her mana and quickly launched an Illusion Technique Attack. At the same time, her sister, as if by telepathy, also launched an Illusion Technique Attack against Big Black Cat.

The moment the Illusion Technique Attacks were launched, the Destiny Realm Black Rock Demons seemed to have received some secret instruction. They roared in unison, and hundreds of thick earth spikes immediately erupted from the ground, soaring up to viciously stab at Big Black Cat. The beautiful girl in red was at the peak of Destiny Realm Level Seven. She and her Destiny Realm Level Six sister launched their Illusion Technique Attacks simultaneously. The combined assault produced an extremely powerful impact.

Big Black Cat was momentarily dazed. By the time he came to his senses, hundreds of enormous, dragon-like spikes were already converging, stabbing relentlessly towards him.

BOOM!

The hundreds of giant spikes struck Big Black Cat with a deafening crash, shattering into pieces that rained down. Dust and smoke billowed. Amidst the dense cloud, Big Black Cat swayed in mid-air, spitting out a mouthful of blood. In his brief moment of daze, he had taken the attack head-on with his physical body. Although he sustained some superficial injuries, his core was unharmed.

HISS...

This sight made all the surrounding cultivators gasp.

”How is this Nine-tailed Spirit Cat’s body so resilient?”

”Even a Destiny Realm Level Eight Black Rock Demon, relying on its thick Black Rock Armor, could barely withstand that, right? But this Destiny Realm Level Six Nine-tailed Spirit Cat actually did it! Could it be that the bodies of Demon Clan members are all this powerful?”

”Sigh, truly unbelievable...”

The surrounding cultivators discussed animatedly, their expressions complex, all feeling this battle was exceptionally thrilling.

”You two vixens have successfully enraged Old Cat!” Big Black Cat spat out more blood, his eyes growing even fiercer. The red, dragon-shaped mark on his forehead pulsed with an eerie red light. As the red light enveloped his entire body, he completely vanished.

Then, a streak of red light tore through the sky. However, to everyone’s surprise, this streak of blood-red light suddenly split into two, transforming into two Blood Spirit Stings. They shot separately towards the two Nine-tailed Fox Demons.

”What? This blood-red Divine Skill can actually split into two without any loss in power? What kind of Divine Skill is this?”

”Did you see? In the blood-red light, there seemed to be a fleeting glimpse of a Blood Dragon.”

”Such a terrifying Divine Skill...”

The surrounding human cultivators turned pale with shock. Faced with the Nine-tailed Spirit Cat’s Divine Skill, most of them felt a deep sense of terror.

Due to the incredible speed, neither the Nine-tailed Fox Demon nor her sister could react in time before the two Blood Spirit Stings pierced their bodies.

BOOM! BOOM!

With two thunderous explosions, half of each Destiny Realm Nine-tailed Fox Demon’s body was blasted to smithereens by the Blood Spirit Stings.

”The Heavenly Mechanism Tower is quite lively. It seems like someone is fighting?” a deep voice suddenly called out from the black fog outside.

A flash of light followed, and a team of more than twenty individuals appeared in the silver-lit area. Every member of this team exuded Demonic Aura; they were not human cultivators but a pure Demon Clan team. The one leading them was a burly, middle-aged man with a strong, imposing aura, already at Destiny Realm Level Eight.

After annihilating the two Nine-tailed Fox Demons, the two terrifying Blood Spirit Stings landed on the ground. They merged back into one, and as the light dissipated, Big Black Cat was revealed. His body trembled violently, and he gasped for breath. The Blood Spirit Sting Divine Skill consumed a vast amount of his mana; he could currently only control it to the extent of splitting it into two.

The Taixu Blood Spirit Dragon’s Blood Spirit Sting Divine Skill, if cultivated to a profound and unfathomable level, could transform a single Blood Spirit Sting into thousands, even tens of thousands, each retaining the same prowess. The simultaneous release of tens of thousands of stings would create an unimaginably terrifying combat power.

”This... Isn’t this the Nine-tailed Spirit Cat?” The newly arrived middle-aged man stared at the black-clothed youth, his pupils contracting slightly, his expression turning grim.

All sorts of events that had transpired in the Nine Soul Underground Palace concerning the Eternal Life Immortal Grass flashed rapidly through his mind.
