He had clearly been seriously injured a long time ago and had sacrificed all the living beings in the entire Eternal Heaven Continent to exhaust his strength. After such a long time, the other party should have become weaker until he finally fell here without being able to fight back and was then digested by the Demon Territory’s World Laws, but why was the other party still able to resist? Moreover, from the traces left behind by Bright Moon's attack, this fellow’s aura was even more stable and powerful than when he had first been trapped here. It was as if he had returned to his peak state.
What was going on here? What kind of mistake had occurred? Xue Li’s expression was cold, unable to understand.
The injuries on Bright Moon's body were obvious to all. Before he was trapped here, he had been jointly injured by several Demon Saints, and the wound on his abdomen had been personally inflicted by Xue Li. For this reason, he had even used a Secret Technique to injure his enemies and cause them to suffer great losses. Xue Li believed that in this world, no one but himself could heal such injuries. As the Great Emperor of the Star Boundary, Bright Moon definitely had many healing pills on her, but how could his Secret Technique be resisted by just a few pills?
Xue Li couldn’t wait to dive into the depths of the blood sea to see Bright Moon's current state.
However, inside the Blood Sea that he was controlling at will, there was a pure land filled with a gentle light that blocked the power of the Great Array, preventing Xue Li from seeing what was inside.
Since he couldn’t see it, he could only act to verify it. He had personally guarded this place, yet he had allowed the Blood Demon Clan’s clansmen to be slaughtered like vegetables. If news of this were to spread, it would be a joke.
With a low shout, Xue Li raised his hands and his tall body shook, releasing a massive amount of Demonic Qi. At this moment, the boiling Blood Sea suddenly became strangely calm, as if it had been suppressed by an invisible hand. In the next moment, the Blood Sea suddenly began to rotate in a clockwise direction, sweeping up a monstrous force. In the blink of an eye, a giant blood sphere appeared between the twelve blood-red pillars.
The blood sphere was completely red, and even from thousands of kilometers away, one could clearly see it. It was as if the full moon in the sky had been dyed red as it fell to the ground, giving off an indescribable sense of horror, as if the world was about to meet its end.
At the very center of this blood sphere, a faint white light was reflected. This was the only pure land formed by Bright Moon’s supreme cultivation, but the scope of this pure land was nearly undetectable compared to the entire blood sphere.
Inside the blood sea, palm-sized blood shadows took shape. If one looked closely, they would see that these blood shadows were all blood-colored bats. Under Xue Li’s control, they rushed towards the pure white Pure Land, but as soon as they came into contact with the soft light, they were all reduced to dust.
The number of Blood Bats was massive, constantly appearing and disappearing, but no matter how many Blood Bats there were, they were unable to weaken the Pure Land’s light.
Xue Li’s expression became even gloomier. There was no need to probe any further, he could already tell that Bright Moon's condition had improved. Even if he hadn’t fully recovered, it was likely that he had recovered quite a bit. The Great Emperor of the Star Boundary really couldn’t be underestimated.
He had thought that with the Great Array and the sea of blood gathered by all the living creatures of the Eternal Heaven Continent, it would be enough to extinguish Bright Moon Path, but who would have thought that the plans of man and the plans of heaven would fail and Bright Moon would still be able to struggle?
His original plan was no longer feasible, so he could only make some minor adjustments. With this thought in mind, Xue Li’s scarlet eyes flashed with a resolute light as he formed a series of hand seals. As the Demonic Qi in his body surged, the speed of the blood sphere’s rotation became even faster. An indescribable speed swept up a tornado, and from high up in the sky, it seemed as if the world below had become a spinning top that wanted to spin the entire Eternal Heaven Continent.
The Blood Demons around the Great Array quickly retreated, afraid of being implicated.
Under Xue Li’s control, the sea of blood constantly produced various kinds of blood objects that flew towards the Pure Land and disappeared as soon as they touched the pure white light.
The Blood Sea had an extremely strong corrosive power, but its gentle light had an unparalleled purification effect. This was a contest of corrosion and purification. The Bright Moon and Xue Li were each other’s natural enemies, using their own Great Daos to collide, causing the entire world to pale in comparison.
As time passed, the size of the blood sphere gradually shrank, but the Pure Land remained unmoved, not showing any signs of shrinking.
The Half-Saint and Demon Race watched from afar, their hearts aching.
The blood sphere was something obtained by sacrificing all the living beings in the entire Eternal Heaven Continent. In other words, Xue Li was currently using the energy gathered by all the living beings in the Eternal Heaven Continent to fight against the bright moon. Every time a portion of it shrank, it represented the sacrifice of millions of demons, but it was unknown if such a sacrifice would be meaningful or not.
On the other hand, Xue Li’s expression remained unchanged after he attacked. The shrinking of the blood sphere did not affect him in the slightest. To him, if he could weaken Bright Moon once more, not to mention completely destroying this blood sphere, even sacrificing two or three continents would be worth it.
The Demon Territory had hundreds of continents, but there were only twelve Demon Saints. If they could exchange two or three continents’ worth of living creatures for a Demon Saint’s quota, it would be a great deal. What’s more, the Blood Sacrifice was only for the living creatures on the other continents, not the main body of the continent. This kind of low-level Demon Race was nothing to the Demon Saints. The Demon Territory didn’t have many other things, but its population was massive. At that time, as long as they could migrate some Demon Race from other continents, they would naturally be able to restore the vitality of the Blood Sacrifice Continent.
The sound of blood splashing filled the air, even concealing the movement caused by the blood sphere’s rotation. This was the sound of the bright moon purifying the blood.
Inside the dark red blood sphere, the originally weak light became more intense, as if as the blood sphere’s size decreased, the range of the Pure Land gradually expanded.
Xue Li’s scarlet eyes finally flashed with a trace of surprise. If he had been certain that Bright Moon's injuries had recovered at the beginning, he was now certain that Bright Moon had definitely recovered to his peak state or had used some kind of Secret Technique to stabilize his injuries, otherwise it would have been impossible for him to possess such divine might.
He couldn’t delay any longer. If this situation continued, the situation would only become worse. If Bright Moon really managed to escape, he, who was responsible for guarding this place, would definitely lose all face.
Xue Li suddenly lifted his foot and stomped on the blood red pillar beneath his feet. An invisible force spread out from the blood red pillar and instantly spread to the other eleven blood red pillars.
The long pillars that had been acting as the foundation of the Array suddenly began to glow with a strange light, and the complicated patterns on the pillars began to flow.
Eleven streams of blood separated from the blood sphere and were absorbed by the blood-red pillars. The blood flowed along the pillars and condensed into blood-colored figures.
There were eleven blood-colored pillars and eleven blood-colored figures, each of which had a blood red figure standing atop it. These blood figures resonated with Xue Li from a distance and formed the strongest array in the entire Demon Territory, the Twelve Great Demon Array!
These blood red figures were of varying heights, both male and female, and the blood formed their bodies. Their facial features were clear, and their eyes were bright. Each of these blood red figures exuded a different aura, but each of them was the aura of a Demon Saint!
These twelve figures represented the twelve most powerful existences in the Demon Territory! However, other than Xue Li’s main body, the other eleven had all sent out their Souls. As the foundation of the Twelve Great Demon Array, a wisp of the Souls of the Demon Saints had been sealed inside. At the critical moment, the master of the array could use a secret technique to awaken these Souls and enhance the power of the array, such as… at this moment.
Among them were Yu Rumeng and Bei Limo, but besides the two of them, ninety percent of the other ten Demon Saints were male.
“Xue Li, what’s the situation now?” One of the tall figures glanced around and asked Xue Li.
“Can’t you see what’s going on? Bright Moon clearly deceived all of us, he really deserves to die!” Another hoarse voice rang out, mixed with anger.
Even if it was just a Soul Clone, the Demon Saints weren’t fools. The situation here was obvious. Bright Moon had the ability to resist the blood sphere, it was obviously not a desperate struggle they had expected, but an opportunity to escape.
“Xue Li, you’re too careless. You can’t even keep an eye on a half-dead guy, you’re simply a piece of trash!” A short figure cackled. This person stood out among the twelve Demon Saints because he was extremely short, about the size of a five or six year old child. However, his body was round and looked quite comical, but his aura was the most dangerous among all the Demon Saints, like a volcano that could erupt at any moment.
Hearing this, many Demon Saints frowned.
It was undeniable that Xue Li was responsible for this situation. If he had noticed Bright Moon's condition earlier, he might have been able to avoid the current situation, but after thinking about it carefully, this probably had nothing to do with Xue Li. If the Great Emperors of the Star Boundary were so easy to deal with, they wouldn’t have spent so much time and effort to set up such a trap. If it had been someone else guarding this place, they might not have been able to do as well as Xue Li. After all, Xue Li was a Blood Demon, and the power of the Blood Sacrifice Continent’s living beings could only be unleashed by him.
But now that something like this had happened, someone had to take the blame…
As soon as the short man finished speaking, Xue Li turned to look at him and grinned maliciously, “Huo Bu, who gave you the courage to speak to this King like this? Have you forgotten the pain of being beaten twenty thousand years ago? Do you want to try again? If you want, this King doesn’t mind teaching you a lesson.”
The Demon Saint called Huo Bu jumped up like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, his round body actually swelling up and his already dangerous aura becoming even more dangerous, “You dare mention what happened twenty thousand years ago? If it weren’t for you playing tricks back then, how could this King have been humiliated by you!”
Xue Li sneered, “You’re the one being childish and stupid, how can you blame me? Although brains are good things, not everyone has them.”
