Heaven-Dominating Martial Emperor

He couldn't let either of them go!

The boundary spirit had disguised itself as Fairy Luoxia and scared him into a hasty retreat. To him, that was an utter humiliation!

And as for Ye Chen...

That brat had snatched the Soul-Catching Lamp, a supreme treasure of the Hall of Yama that absolutely could not be lost!

If he hadn't fled back then, if he had just killed Ye Chen with a single palm strike and taken back the Soul-Catching Lamp...

...then Ye Chen never would have had the chance to enter the Kunlun Mountain secret realm and grow this powerful.

The Celestial Slaughter Nether Venerable shook his head, his expression turning grim.

He raised his hand and sent a massive Palm Seal, carrying a monstrous Evil Qi, hurtling toward Ye Chen's back like a falling meteor.

However, Mo Tianyun acted at the perfect moment, shattering the Palm Seal with a single wave of his sleeve.

"Must you insist on obstructing me today?" the Celestial Slaughter Nether Venerable asked, looking at Mo Tianyun. His voice was filled with unrestrained fury.

"It's my duty. I have no choice," Mo Tianyun replied with a faint smile.

"Fine. Then this Venerable One will play with you for a while first."

"In any case, with this Blood Fiend Grand Array here, no one can escape this place!"

The Celestial Slaughter Nether Venerable was clearly quite confident in this grand array.

"You two, go make preparations to break the array."

Mo Tianyun turned and instructed the young man and woman beside him.

The young man's eyes were like bright stars, and his posture was tall and straight. His name was Jiang Yuzhe, a rising star of the Demon Exorcism Institute.

The young woman had a sweet face and wore a colorful dress, from which a pair of long, delicate legs extended, sparking the imagination.

Her name was Luo Rou. Like Jiang Yuzhe, she was a new talent at the Demon Exorcism Institute, but she had joined a bit earlier than him, making her his senior sister.

The two immediately accepted their orders and left.

"Break the array?"

"You think you can actually see through this Blood Fiend Grand Array?"

The Celestial Slaughter Nether Venerable's eyes narrowed, an inexplicable light swirling within his pupils.

"As Cultivators of the Demon Exorcism Institute, we've dealt with evil cultivators like you countless times."

"We know your methods inside and out."

"A mere Blood Fiend Grand Array is not enough to trap us."

Mo Tianyun smiled nonchalantly, his face filled with confidence, as if everything was under his control.

"Hmph!"

"Then I'll be watching!"

"Let's see just how much you lot from the Demon Exorcism Institute have improved over the years!!!"

The Celestial Slaughter Nether Venerable took a step forward, and a terrifying aura erupted violently.

He raised his hand and unleashed a Palm Seal that seemed to cover the entire peak of Kunlun Mountain. From a distance, it looked like a primeval Divine Mountain descending from the heavens, its might utterly overwhelming!

"Break!"

Mo Tianyun's expression remained unchanged. With a wave of his sleeve, a gale of ten thousand zhang rose from the ground. The intense storm, like a Flood Dragon roaming between heaven and earth, slammed into the Celestial Slaughter Nether Venerable's Palm Seal.

A deafening explosion echoed between heaven and earth, and the terrifying aftershocks swept out, making everyone's hearts tremble!

Now that the Celestial Slaughter Nether Venerable was being held back by Mo Tianyun, the Cultivators on the field, though not yet out of danger, felt the pressure lessen considerably.

With the help of Jiang Yuzhe and Luo Rou, the two cultivators from the Demon Exorcism Institute, large swaths of surrounding demons and fiends fell, and many demon lords were slain on the spot.

Although many cultivators were still injured, some even perishing, the vast majority managed to reach the edge of the square, shaken but safe.

They didn't dare touch the sea of blood before them, looking instead toward Jiang Yuzhe and Luo Rou with anticipation in their eyes.

The people of the Black Tiger Tribe had previously dissolved in this very sea of blood. The immense blood-fiend power within it was far beyond what their mortal bodies could withstand.

Their only hope was to rely on these Cultivators from the Demon Exorcism Institute, who might have a way to lead them out of this predicament.

"Dealing with a Blood Fiend Grand Array is a familiar task for us Cultivators of the Demon Exorcism Institute."

"You all stand aside for now and help me block the attacks from those fiends. I will be responsible for breaking the array!"

Luo Rou said softly as she arrived before the sea of blood.

"Then we're counting on you, milady!"

Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed.

The experts from the Huo family and other factions also breathed a sigh of relief.

Thank goodness the people from the Great Hong Demon Exorcism Institute were here today.

Otherwise, they, along with their Patriarch, might have all perished here.

Ye Chen, positioned within the Huo family's ranks, studied the sea of blood before him with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

'This sea of blood... something seems off about it.'

BOOM!

Behind the crowd, a large horde of demons and ghosts surged forward again. Numerous experts quickly attacked to repel them, briefly interrupting Ye Chen's train of thought.

"This Blood Fiend Grand Array will not disappear until it has dissolved the flesh and blood of every last one of you Cultivators!"

"Don't waste your energy!"

A demon lord laughed heartily as he flew in from the horizon, riding a cloud of murky Evil Qi. An astonishingly powerful aura pulsed from his body.

He was an evil cultivator who had already reached the Seventh Layer of the Divinity Transformation Realm!

Such strength surpassed most of the Cultivators present. A terrifying pressure bore down, and many of their faces turned pale, finding it difficult to even breathe.

BANG!

A cold glint in his eyes, Huo Qiguang attacked decisively.

It was as if massive waves surged to the heavens behind him, washing away all the surrounding Evil Qi!

He unreservedly unleashed his terrifying cultivation at the Eighth Layer of the Divinity Transformation Realm, instantly suppressing the demon lord's aura.

The massive waves crashed down toward the demon lord. Wherever they passed, even the void itself seemed unable to withstand their power, rippling in their wake.

"What?"

The demon lord's expression changed, and he tried to flee.

But the waves were extremely fast, striking him before he could get away.

The demon lord, as if struck by a heavy blow, coughed up blood and fell from the sky like a string-cut kite.

"As expected of Patriarch Huo! Such a clean and decisive strike, severely wounding even a Seventh-Layer Divinity Transformation Realm demon lord on the spot!"

Gazes filled with envy and excitement fell upon Huo Qiguang, and everyone collectively sighed in relief.

However, on the other side, Luo Rou frowned.

"Senior Sister Luo, what's wrong?"

"Can't this Blood Fiend Grand Array be broken yet?"

Noticing her expression, Jiang Yuzhe sensed something was amiss and couldn't help but ask.

"This Blood Fiend Grand Array seems a little different from the usual ones."

Luo Rou collected herself and said.

"Different? How is it different?" Jiang Yuzhe asked with a frown.

"The array seems to contain a core energy source. Within that core, an extremely powerful force is stabilizing this entire formation."

"Ordinary array-breaking methods are completely useless against this Blood Fiend Grand Array."

Luo Rou's expression was grave.

This was the first time she had ever encountered such a situation.

If it were an ordinary Blood Fiend Grand Array, she would have broken it long ago with her skills.
