Vol 6 Chapter 60: The Demon Emperor Returns
The Blood Prison Demon God was dead.
All the powerful beings of the Heavenly Demon Realm clearly understood that the Blood Prison Demon God absolutely ranked among the most difficult individuals to kill in the entire Heavenly Demon Realm.
Unless one had a method to eliminate all his blood clones, he could continuously regenerate.
His strongest aspect lay in the fact that when others used similar supernatural abilities, their newly formed bodies would absolutely find it difficult to return to peak condition in a short time, and some might never reach their peak again. However, the Blood Prison Demon God's blood clones were different; after rebirth, they only needed a few short days to recover to the original body's peak state, which could be described as incredibly powerful.
The only chance to kill him was to swiftly erase all his traces simultaneously, but this... looking across the entire Lower Realm, probably not many could accomplish it.
"Who exactly was it...."
The Heavenly Demon Realm was in turmoil, and many powerful demonic beings felt uneasy. They could see that the Blood Prison Demon God had died from a bloodline poison, but no matter how hard they racked their brains, they couldn't think of any strong cultivator in the Cultivation Alliance who specialized in poison techniques.
"Could it be that it wasn't a cultivator from the Cultivation Alliance..…"
The Blood Prison Demon God had died without having time to reveal who killed him."Cease discussion."
The masked elder who had spoken earlier seemed to hold considerable prestige among the numerous demonic beings. He took a deep breath, still finding it difficult to believe what he had witnessed.
"Does anyone know where the Blood Prison Demon God's original body is currently located?"
"Elder." A female demonic powerhouse flew forward: "Not long ago, Demon General Tianchou left the Heavenly Demon Realm and went to the territory of Lord Blood Prison Demon God. After Lord Blood Prison Demon God received the news, he should have been waiting to welcome Demon General Tianchou in the 'Blood River Realm'."
"Demon Emperor Tianchou..." The skeletal elder fell silent, first eliminating the possibility that the Blood Prison Demon God had been killed by Demon Emperor Tianchou.
Even if Demon Emperor Tianchou currently had the strength to kill the Blood Prison Demon God, one practiced sword cultivation while the other used poison techniques—completely incompatible paths.
"At this time, Demon General Tianchou should still be in transit!" the female cultivator continued.
The starry sky was vast; unless traveling between two relatively close realms, even cross-realm teleportation required multiple transfers, continuously jumping between several or dozens of planets to reach the desired destination.
"Send a message to Demon General Tianchou, requesting her to investigate the matter of the Blood Prison Demon God's fall." As the elder spoke, undercurrents were already stirring within the Heavenly Demon Realm.
The news of the Blood Prison Demon God's death quickly spread.
The Heavenly Demon Realm was a mixed bag with all sorts of characters, and even included spies from the Cultivation Alliance. The death of the Blood Prison Demon God had significant implications, marking that all territories originally belonging to the Blood Prison Demon God had now become ownerless.
If one could quickly swallow the Blood Prison Demon God's legacy, it would bring enormous benefits to any faction.
Even within the Heavenly Demon Realm, many factions quickly moved to claim his territories after the Blood Prison Demon God's death.
However, the key issue still remained: who exactly had killed the Blood Prison Demon God?
Would rashly taking over his territories invite fatal disaster?
Until this was clarified, many powerful demonic beings chose to wait and observe, and moreover... the Seventh Demon General had already gone. After some thought, this lone demon general seemed to not have her own faction yet; there was an eighty percent chance she would take over the Blood Prison Demon God's legacy.
That being the case, others would have even less opportunity.
.............
Pangu Continent, Cultivation Alliance.
Chaos Hall.
The newly promoted deputy leader of the Cultivation Alliance, Li Tianyi with the Chaotic Immortal Physique, used this as his cultivation place.
A thousand years had passed, and his cultivation level had rapidly advanced from the Void Mystical Stage when he left the Origin Realm to the current peak of Seeking the Dao. Moreover, leveraging the advantages of his Chaotic Immortal Physique, he had become the youngest deputy leader of the Cultivation Alliance, which also marked the alliance's entry into a new era.
"The Blood Prison Demon God is dead?"
After receiving the news from the Heavenly Demon Realm, Li Tianyi showed a surprised expression. The Blood Prison Demon God was absolutely among the first-tier demonic powerhouses below the six... no, seven great demon generals.
How could such a character die so mysteriously, with no one knowing who killed him?
"Investigate."
After sending his subordinates to investigate, Li Tianyi continued his seclusion cultivation, urgently wanting to become stronger—at least stronger than Zhou Banxian. He wanted to seize "control over the Origin Realm" from Zhou Banxian's hands!
Although the Origin Realm was currently occupied by Lin Jing, and all parties could no longer gain benefits from it with no more advantages to be reaped, Li Tianyi wasn't after the Origin Sources. Rather, Lin Jing had been someone he personally promoted when facing crisis, but Lin Jing had betrayed his trust.... Li Tianyi planned to personally orchestrate a scheme to take back the Origin Realm from Lin Jing after obtaining control over it from Zhou Banxian.
"The Blood Prison Demon God is dead, but it probably wasn't killed by any of the three alliance leaders. The other deputy leaders would also find it difficult to kill the Blood Prison Demon God. Perhaps he encountered a reclusive powerhouse while invading some realm. Anyone capable of killing the Blood Prison Demon God is undoubtedly very powerful and could be invited to join the Cultivation Alliance..."
.........
Not long after.
The entire Star Crane Realm had also initially stabilized, with all remaining Blood Prison Demon God legions stationed there completely exterminated.
Star Longevity Crane looked at this devastated realm, unsure what emotions to feel.
"Have your clansmen go to the Tianyuan Realm."
"Integrate into the Beast Master Sect; the sect master's wife will take good care of them." Lin Jing spoke.
"Mm." Star Longevity Crane nodded, also aware that they couldn't stay in this realm anymore. After all, this place couldn't compare to Tianyuan which had the Star Heaven Veil Array. With the Blood Prison Demon God recently dead, this one of his main strongholds would absolutely attract countless gazes next.
The Beast Master Sect was the best destination for these clansmen.
"Let's go, we can't stay here any longer."
When Lin Jing killed the Blood Prison Demon God and the Dragon Carp was refining him, he saw some memory fragments.
From the other's memories, he learned that Demon Emperor Tianchou was already planning to use cross-realm teleportation arrays to arrive in this star sector.
Without any surprises, Demon Emperor Tianchou would descend before long.... Lin Jing had prepared for this battle for a long time. He didn't know what Demon Emperor Tianchou's current strength was like, but losing... he would absolutely not lose.
One month later.
In the now completely empty Star Crane Realm, a figure descended. Demon Emperor Tianchou looked at the shattered Star Crane Realm, saw the broken sword planted at the realm's center, and couldn't help but reveal a twisted smile.
That broken sword was precisely part of the sword formation she had left outside the Tianyuan Realm.
"So it really is you." Demon Emperor Tianchou's entire body trembled, her excitement beyond measure. After Lin Jing destroyed the sword formation she left behind, Demon Emperor Tianchou had a premonition that this hunt would be very interesting, but she never expected Lin Jing to give her such a huge surprise.
In just a thousand years, he had transformed from a seedling in her eyes into a monster capable of annihilating the Blood Prison Demon God.
"Excellent, excellent, as your teacher... I'm growing more and more eager to meet you."
"If people were to learn that the Blood Prison Demon God was suppressed and killed by a cultivator who had only practiced for a thousand years, it would certainly cause upheaval across all realms. But what a pity..."
