Sacrificial Artifact System: From Bell-ringer to the Ancestral Patriarch of the Sect-Chapter 252 - 184 Ling Long Great Saint (Requesting Monthly Ticket)
Chapter 252: Chapter 184 Ling Long Great Saint (Requesting Monthly Ticket)
After slaying three Demon Saints, Li Qian chose to return to Chang Country as his first priority.
He understood the principle of switching strategies after each move.
There was no need to put himself in jeopardy.
By slaying the three Demon Saints, he had made his due contribution to the Martial Alliance in holding back the Demon Race.
For the next few years, Li Qian would stealthily visit the battlegrounds of Chi Country each year, secretly eliminating one or two Demon Saints.
After all, he only killed Demon Saints.
As for the more powerful Demon Clan Great Saints, he would absolutely not take action against them, maximizing his low-profile and cautious approach.
Moreover, he never left any traces behind.
Neither Dao Sect nor the Demon Race was aware of the existence of Li Qian, this sixth brother.
Chen Bell Platform.
Boom!
The bell rang out during the period between 5 a.m. to 7 a.m.
Striking the bell was Qu Peng, one of the Qu siblings.
Inside the bell tower, Li Qian sat cross-legged, absorbing the energy from the demon stone, enhancing the Qi Blood Holy Realm.
After a long while, he slowly opened his eyes, then suddenly heard the excited voice of Li Bozhi outside, "I did it, I’ve achieved it..."
Li Qian’s Spiritual Sense moved, sensing the situation inside Li Bozhi’s body—he had completed the cultivation of the Pure Sword Body.
It indeed hadn’t been easy.
A smile appeared on Li Qian’s face.
This grandnephew had shown great perseverance, having spent more than a decade on cultivating the Pure Sword Body.
Wang Yuxuan, who had started training with him, had already achieved it ten years ago and had become a Grandmaster.
Although Li Bozhi was ten years late, after achieving the Perfect Innate, his subsequent accomplishments would be even higher.
Li Qian stepped out of the bell tower.
"Grandmaster..."
Li Bozhi hurried over.
"Mm, get ready for your Innate breakthrough," Li Qian said with a smile.
"Yes, Grandmaster," Li Bozhi quickly nodded.
...
A few days later.
Li Qian once again headed for the battlegrounds of Chi Country.
His goal this time was to kill one or two Demon Saints.
These Demon Saints were quite wealthy; he had gained a lot from killing several of them previously.
Over these years, the continual combat between Dao Sect and the Demon Race had reached a stalemate, enduring on this vast expanse of land.
When Li Qian arrived in Chi Country, he was surprised to find that the previously prosperous regions south of the Great River had become desolate. After inquiring, he learned that recently numerous demonic creatures had crossed the river to attack the major cities.
Li Qian knew that the situation here had changed, indicating that Dao Sect’s defense against the Demon Race was not tight enough, allowing demonic creatures to frequently cross the defensive line and attack the rear.
Hence, Li Qian continued on, crossing the Great River to enter the northern regions, which were even more desolate.
This time, Li Qian was even more cautious.
After all, various signs indicated that the Demon Race might be gaining the upper hand.
As night fell.
Li Qian was walking on the ground and encountered a few demonic creatures.
However, the strongest was only at the level of a Heavenly Demon, and he didn’t bother to take action.
Suddenly, Li Qian saw a red glow ahead, and intense fluctuations of battle spread out like waves.
"Are a Martial Saint and a Demon Saint battling?"
Li Qian stealthily approached.
He quickly assessed the situation at the scene.
A Martial Saint was being besieged by two Demon Saints.
The Martial Saint was in dire straits, as if half of his body was nearly torn apart, yet he was still holding on desperately.
The two demons seemed to be toying with the Martial Saint, not in a hurry to kill.
One of the Pig Demons was holding a bloody arm, attacking while chewing away.
Though Li Qian had seen such scenes before, each time, an uncontrollable anger surged within him.
Immediately, he moved, shrouding the area with his mighty Myriad Phenomena Sword Intent, creating a terrifying Sword Domain that controlled the space and also mobilized the power of the Chen Bell.
Boom, boom...
Two bell sounds echoed in the minds of the two Demon Saints.
In an instant, the bodies of both Demon Saints started to lose control.
By the time they realized what was happening, surging Sword Qi enveloped them.
"No good, it’s a Human Clan’s Great Saint..."
The two Demon Saints’ faces turned pale with fear.
They came to their senses, releasing their Myriad Phenomena Demon Thought as surging Demon Energy permeated to counter the pressing Sword Domain.
Boom, boom, boom...
Li Qian continued to employ the Chen Bell.
He didn’t use the Qi Blood Holy Realm, naturally not wanting that human Martial Saint to know.
Moreover, as a Great Saint himself, did he really need to use the Qi Blood Holy Realm to kill two Demon Saints?
It would just be a bit more troublesome.
The two Demon Saints, influenced by the sound of the Chen Bell, saw their newly unleashed Myriad Phenomena Demon Thought and Demon Energy immediately thrown into disarray.
Under the terrifying Sword Qi onslaught, the two Demon Saints let out a piercing scream.
Although they were resisting with all their might, under the disruption of the bell’s tolling, they could hardly exert their full strength.
In the end, only two mangled corpses remained.
The two Demon Saints were actually skinned alive by Li Qian’s Sword Domain.
Seeing this scene, the Human Clan Martial Saint was utterly shocked.
Where did this Great Saint come from?
Was it possible that he had come to provide support?
At this time, it shouldn’t be possible for any Great Saint to come to their aid.
The Great Saints of the Dao Sect are few and each has their own territories to guard and patrol.
With the massive invasion of the Demon Race, every stationed section on the entire defense line is in grave danger.
As for the Great Saints from other forces in the Alliance of Warriors... even if they were coming to provide support, it wouldn’t be possible for them to arrive so quickly.
At this moment, Li Qian collected the remaining Demon Cores and Storage Devices from the two Demon Saints.
"Senior, please hurry to Yiming Town to provide support. Ling Long Great Saint is besieged by a Demon Clan Great Saint there."
The Dao Sect Martial Saint hurriedly said after seeing Li Qian emerge from the darkness.
Li Qian did not speak but simply glanced at the man, then his figure flickered and disappeared.
"This senior..."
This Dao Sect Martial Saint saw that Li Qian was not heading towards Yiming Town and was somewhat dumbfounded.
He gritted his teeth, took an elixir, slightly managed his injuries, then quickly flew in another direction.
He must hurry to call for reinforcements.
If Ling Long Great Saint were to fall in Yiming Town, the consequences would be dire.
Originally, the Dao Sect had eight top-level Great Saints. After Mo Li Great Saint perished while transcending a tribulation, the Dao Sect lost another Great Saint, Pu Xuan, more than twenty years ago on the Lao Mountain defense line, leaving only six top-level Great Saints.
If Ling Long Great Saint were also to be trapped and die in Yiming Town, then the Dao Sect would be left with only five top-level Great Saints, significantly weakening the power of the Dao Sect.
The Dao Sect could not afford such a loss now.
Li Qian had not truly left.
He briefly recalled the map of Chi Country and knew the location of Yiming Town, hence he flew towards Yiming Town.
After about ten minutes.
He arrived near Yiming Town.
The entire Yiming Town was shrouded in a huge fog of gray mist, from which one could faintly hear strange sounds like soft murmurs, sighs, pleas, and sorrow....
"Goodness, this seems to be the Eight-Curved Soul-scattering Array from Lion Camel Ridge."
Li Qian’s Spiritual Sense probed and his expression became solemn.
This array apparently did not use Solid Array Piles, but Array Plates instead, so the range wasn’t too large.
But... there was clearly a powerful demon orchestrating this array.
"It seems that Ling Long Great Saint lured by the demon might have been trapped within," Li Qian muttered to himself.
This array was no trivial matter.
Even encountering it himself was a bit troublesome.
Suddenly, a piercing scream arose from within the array, and the terrifying gray mist swiftly expanded, revealing a giant figure.
It was a Primordial Spirit Dharma Image.
This Primordial Spirit Dharma Image shone brightly with blue light, churning like tidal waves, attempting to tear through the layers of gray mist and break out of the array.
But the gray mist was extremely frightening, like a massive net, firmly entangling the Primordial Spirit Dharma Image.
Whirring sounds...
A giant Elephant Demon emerged from the mist with a roar. It blew out billows of gray mist from its long trunk then fiercely lashed, striking hard on the Primordial Spirit Dharma Image.
Boom, boom, boom...
The Primordial Spirit Dharma Image was hammered back into the gray mist of the array amidst loud explosions. freewebnσvel.cøm
"Ling Long Great Saint, once you’re inside the Eight-Curved Soul-scattering Array, don’t even think about getting out."
The Elephant Demon let out a chilling laugh, "Once you die, let’s see how the Dao Sect can stop us at Lion Camel Ridge."
Li Qian hid in the dark, observing the situation.
There should be more than one Demon Clan Great Saint within the array... or perhaps, the one presiding over the array was not this Elephant Demon.
With the array trapping and suppressing Ling Long Great Saint and the powerful Elephant Demon attacking... without outside help, Ling Long Great Saint would indeed be in grave danger.
Moreover, even with support, without breaking this Eight-Curved Soul-scattering Array, it would be impossible to rescue Ling Long Great Saint.
"The Eight-Curved Soul-scattering Array has the ability to isolate Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, causing Ling Long Great Saint to be unable to gather Essence Qi. While in the form of Primordial Spirit Dharma Image, it will only become weaker and weaker..."
Li Qian frowned.
He thought about how to break the array and save Ling Long Great Saint.
"It seems that I can only break the array with another array."
After a while, Li Qian finally devised a plan.
As long as he could temporarily open a hole in this array, he could infiltrate with his Qi Blood Holy Realm, suppressing the demons within.
From his observation, the one directing the whole array should not be the Elephant Demon, but some other demon.
If he could use the Qi Blood Holy Realm right away to perform Qi Blood Stripping on the demon directing the array, turning it Qi Blood Spirit, and transforming it into a demon puppet under his control, he could turn defeat into victory.
Because then he could control the demon puppet to take over the Eight-Curved Soul-scattering Array and use it against the Elephant Demon to suppress it.
At that moment, the Primordial Spirit Dharma Image trapped within the array surged up again, blooming with even more terrifying blue light, its actions fiercely ferocious.
But the gray mist was pervasive, like a net covering the sky, firmly blocking the Primordial Spirit Dharma Image.
Moreover, the Elephant Demon intervened to intercept.
With the cooperation of the array and the Elephant Demon, Ling Long Great Saint’s Primordial Spirit Dharma Image was entirely unable to break free.
Suddenly, Li Qian reached the side of the gray mist array, with Array Plates encircling him, releasing peculiar powers. Following a flick of his fingers, the Array Plates spun out, tearing open a gap in the gray mist.
That instant, Li Qian’s powerful Spiritual Sense penetrated inside, and his Qi Blood Holy Realm, like a golden fire dragon, spread within.
