Fortunately, the Daoist Sect Leader was also here. In the face of these Blood Beasts, the Daoist Sect Leader was much more composed than Ling Mo Xie and the others. With the operation of Spiritual Energy, a single Spell cast out could kill dozens of Blood Beasts.
The Blood Beasts were scattered by the Daoist Sect Leader's Spell, turning into blood that fell down. They even writhed as if trying to regroup, but the blood that had been scattered was now infused with the Daoist Sect Leader's Spiritual Energy, which prevented the blood from merging again. This caused the struggling blood to eventually settle down as ordinary blood on the ground.
Seeing that Ling Mo Xie and the others were having difficulty resisting the attacks from the Blood Beasts, the Daoist Sect Leader accelerated his efforts to eliminate them while also focusing on operating his Spiritual Energy to set up a defensive Spell. A massive Barrier rose up, resembling an inverted bowl, enveloping them all.
Whenever a Blood Beast collided with the Barrier, it would be rebounded away, while the Barrier remained completely still. Ling Mo Xie and his companions were not affected by this Barrier; they could still cast Spells through it to kill Blood Beasts.
With the Daoist Sect Leader present, they quickly felt reassured. Looking at the current situation, although these Blood Beasts were Not Bad, they ultimately could not compare to the Daoist Sect Leader. They should not be in any danger.
This also made them realize the gap between themselves and the Daoist Sect Leader.
Although the Daoist Sect Leader was only at the late stage of Great Ascension, which was just one major realm higher than them, his strength was not something they could match. No wonder he could become the Daoist Sect Leader.
When setting up the Demon Tomb, Heavenly Demon Sect had not yet ascended and was only at the Great Ascension stage. Therefore, while these Blood Beasts were Not Bad for Ling Mo Xie and his companions, if it were just the three of them alone, they would definitely have perished here in despair. However, with the Daoist Sect Leader around, things became much easier; he could easily kill these Blood Beasts by himself.
However, since this was personally arranged by Heavenly Demon Sect, it seemed that they had put in some effort as well. Naturally, it wouldn't be so easy to resolve. With so many Blood Beasts around, even for the Daoist Sect Leader to cast Spells to scatter them would consume Spiritual Energy.
As continuous Spells were unleashed one after another, Ling Mo Xie and his companions felt somewhat numb. They paused several times to recover their Spiritual Energy, while the Daoist Sect Leader did not stop even once. However, they could still see beads of sweat forming on his forehead; he must be somewhat fatigued as well. Yet these Blood Beasts seemed endless.
This made one inevitably sigh; no wonder it was a creation of Heavenly Demon Sect. How many Demon Beasts must have been killed back then? Moreover, simply killing them wasn't enough; they had to die with resentment so strong that their blood would be red and vivid enough to be refined into Blood Beasts.
"Truly worthy of Heavenly Demon Sect; this has exceeded my expectations. There are more Blood Beasts than I imagined. I need to finish this quickly; you all be careful!" The Daoist Sect Leader frowned upon seeing the continuous surge of Blood Beasts rushing toward them and instructed Ling Mo Xie and his companions.
Then he waved his hand to retract the Barrier and took out an Elixir radiating rich Spiritual Energy. Ling Mo Xie recognized it as an Elixir for recovering Spiritual Energy; it seemed that the Daoist Sect Leader was about to make a significant move.
Once the Daoist Sect Leader retracted the Barrier, Ling Mo Xie and his companions felt a lot more pressure. They not only had to cast Spells to attack the Blood Beasts but also had to dodge left and right to avoid their attacks.
At this moment, Ling Mo Xie, who had been paying some attention to the Daoist Sect Leader, finally saw him reveal his weapon.
It was a seemingly ordinary small sword that looked almost like it was made of wood—so plain that it resembled a child's toy sword. There were no fluctuations of Spiritual Energy emanating from it; if thrown on the ground, no one would bother taking a second look.
The Daoist Sect Leader held that wooden sword horizontally in front of him and closed his eyes—perhaps channeling his Spiritual Energy. He could be seen muttering some incantation with his lips moving before finally sweeping his hand across the sword's body. Instantly, countless rays of light burst forth from it as an astonishing sword aura shot into the sky as if it would tear apart this entire dark red space.
Even those Blood Beasts whose minds were solely focused on slaughter involuntarily took several steps back in unison and halted their attacks as if they were intimidated by this sword.
Xu Qingfeng looked excitedly in the direction of Daoist Sect Leader and explained to Ling Mo Xie, "That is the weapon of Gate Master, the Cheng Tian Sword, which is a Supreme Celestial Artifact. It is said that Gate Master obtained it from an ancient relic when he was still one of the heirs of the Taoist Sect. I have heard many legends about the Cheng Tian Sword in the Taoist Sect, but this is the first time I've seen its true form!"
"Cheng Tian Sword? Celestial Artifact? Sounds pretty impressive!" Ling Mo Xie said, somewhat confused by Xu Qingfeng's words.
Xu Qingfeng patiently explained to Ling Mo Xie, "Just like cultivators have many levels, weapons also have their own classifications. In the Cultivation World, you should know there are ordinary magical tools, special Spiritual Treasures with unique effects, or powerful Spirit Weapons forged through countless refinements. A Celestial Artifact is a weapon that surpasses a Spirit Weapon; it is said to have fallen from the Celestial Realm and cannot be refined by any Refiner Master in the Cultivation World."
"And this Cheng Tian Sword of Gate Master is not an ordinary Celestial Artifact; Celestial Artifacts are classified into levels: upper, middle, and lower grades, plus the extraordinary grade that surpasses the upper grade. This Cheng Tian Sword is a Supreme Celestial Artifact, truly remarkable."
Ling Mo Xie nodded in understanding and asked, "Then why did this Cheng Tian Sword seem like an ordinary wooden sword before?"
"Hehe, treasures often conceal their true power. If we were to see such treasures, we might not even recognize them!" Xu Qingfeng chuckled and sighed.
Ling Mo Xie nodded in agreement. If he hadn't seen the Cheng Tian Sword emitting a brilliant light and astonishing sword energy in Daoist Sect Leader's hands, he would have thought it was just an ordinary wooden sword carved for children to play with.
The Cheng Tian Sword released brilliant light as a stream of radiance swept across its blade. The originally wooden sword transformed into something extraordinary; perhaps this was the true form of the Cheng Tian Sword. The light flowed around it, exuding a metallic texture while appearing gentle at the same time, and its blade felt incredibly sharp.
"Buzz!" The Cheng Tian Sword let out a soft hum in Daoist Sect Leader's hand as a wave of sword energy surged forth, easily scattering countless Blood Beasts.
Daoist Sect Leader glanced at the Blood Beasts before him who hesitated to advance and murmured softly to himself, "I apologize, Heavenly Demon Sect senior!"
After saying that, he circulated his Spiritual Energy. Without any visible movement—perhaps due to his incredible speed—Ling Mo Xie only saw a stunning Sword Light appear out of nowhere. The Sword Light instantly expanded in mid-air, its length unknown but immensely powerful; with a gentle tremor, countless Blood Beasts disintegrated.
In just an instant, the Sword Light dissipated, and Ling Mo Xie was shocked to see that all the Blood Beasts had vanished. The entire space was now filled with blood water, and the stench of blood wafted into their noses as the blood water pooled up to their calves.
Daoist Sect Leader wiped his hand across the sword body, and the Cheng Tian Sword returned to its previous appearance.
To Ling Mo Xie's surprise, after killing all the Blood Beasts, Daoist Sect Leader did not seem particularly pleased; instead, he sighed and said to Ling Mo Xie and others, "Alright, with the Blood Beasts eliminated, this space should begin to collapse. With this move, I'm afraid Evil Ridge Sect Leader will know I've come here."
As if responding to Daoist Sect Leader's words, just as he finished speaking, the space began to tremble again as if it were about to collapse.
Ling Mo Xie and Xu Qingfeng thought so too; however, Daoist Sect Leader's expression changed as he warned them, "The Heavenly Demon Sect lives up to its name; be careful—there may be unexpected changes."
Upon hearing Daoist Sect Leader's words, Ling Mo Xie was somewhat surprised. He had intended to ask another question when suddenly all the blood that had pooled on the ground began to boil violently.
Ling Mo Xie stared in shock at the scene that suddenly appeared before him. Hadn't all the Blood Beasts been killed by the Daoist Sect Leader?
As the Blood continued to boil, it began to rise as if it had regained life, swirling continuously. In the center of the entire space, a torrent of Blood emerged, spinning as if brewing something.
The immense pressure made one instinctively take a few steps back, filled with astonishment.
"You all step back a bit. It seems that the Heavenly Demon Sect not only killed so many Demon Beasts, but also took down a Celestial Beast. They mixed the blood of the Celestial Beast into the countless Demon Beast blood, forming these Blood Beasts. Now that the Blood Beasts are dead, the backup plan left by the Heavenly Demon Sect will activate. The blood of that Celestial Beast will be released, transforming into even more formidable Blood Beasts."
The Daoist Sect Leader explained to the others but then smiled and said, "However, I still have confidence in this Blood Beast. Although I know I can't compare to the Heavenly Demon Sect, it shouldn't be that easy for them to leave behind a trap that I can't handle!"
Seeing the confident expression on the Daoist Sect Leader, Ling Mo Xie and the other two felt somewhat reassured.
At that moment, with a roar, all the Blood vanished. No, perhaps it should be said that it condensed into a single form: a leopard-like Blood Beast, entirely blood-red with dark red patterns, appeared before everyone.
The leopard roared once but did not make any other sounds. It quietly stepped toward the direction of the Daoist Sect Leader, instilling a strong sense of pressure in the three standing beside him. It felt as if each step of the leopard was treading upon their hearts.
Their hearts seemed to transform into large drums; with each step taken by the leopard, their hearts pounded like drumsticks striking.
The leopard's eyes were blood-red, fixed intently on the Daoist Sect Leader, not sparing a glance for Ling Mo Xie and his companions. Yet, they still felt an overwhelming pressure. Meanwhile, the Daoist Sect Leader remained calm, with a hint of excitement in his eyes. It had been many years since he had fought with all his might.
