Record of a Demon's Cultivation-Chapter 615: The Sea of Blood
Chapter 615 - The Sea of Blood
Translator: Cinder Translations
---
Amidst the surprised and puzzled gazes of Zhu Yin, Zi Yun, and many disciples of the Liangyi Sect, Song Wen's body erupted with a thick mist of blood.
In the blood mist, Song Wen's figure began to swell and grow taller. His teeth turned into sharp fangs, his hands transformed into claw-like blades, his skin darkened and decayed, and a strong stench of rotting flesh radiated from him.
Song Wen morphed into a towering zombie, standing at over three zhang (10m) tall.
He used the technique Undying True Corpse Transformation, taking about two breaths of time, but it was far faster than when he had transformed into the greenish hue before. This speed was due to his cultivation of Corpse King's Rebirth Technique.
The Undying True Corpse Transformation was a secret technique created specifically for the Corpse King's Rebirth Technique.
Seeing Song Wen's transformation, Zhu Yin's eyes flashed with a look of shock.
"The complete form of Undying True Corpse Transformation, he has cultivated the Corpse King's Rebirth Technique! 'Xu Geng' once said that there was no inheritance of the Corpse King's Rebirth Technique in the Unordered Sea. Where did he obtain this method?"
While Zhu Yin was astonished, Song Wen had already passed by the Star Chariot Divine Ship and charged toward the Heaven Burning Eagle.
With a wave of his hand, the Blood Sea Seal appeared in midair.
High above, the blood waves spread like a red silk, quickly expanding.
In an instant, the blood waves covered an area of a hundred li in radius.
Zhu Yin, Zi Yun, and the others looked up to see the sky covered in a sea of crimson blood.
The waves surged violently, as if they were about to drown the entire world in blood.
After advancing to the Nascent Soul realm, Song Wen's spiritual consciousness was now strong enough to cover a hundred li. Thus, the Blood Sea's range also expanded to a hundred li.
As his cultivation reached the peak of the Golden Core stage, his spiritual power grew more potent, allowing him to control more of the blood energy within the Blood Sea Seal. The power displayed by the Blood Sea Seal was now several times stronger than before.
The blood sea swirled downward, like a collapsing sky, with endless blood energy rushing toward the Heaven Burning Eagle.
The ten zhang wingspan of the Heaven Burning Eagle appeared so small under the sea of blood.
At this moment, as a fourth-tier early-stage demon beast, the eagle couldn't help but feel some pressure facing the overwhelming blood tide.
Skree!
The Heaven Burning Eagle let out a sharp cry.
Opening its mouth, a continuous stream of flames erupted.
The flames shot upward like a giant pillar, seemingly trying to prop up the falling blood-red sky above.
The fiery pillar was intensely hot, and everything it touched was scorched and twisted out of shape.
When the flames met the blood sea, an earth-shattering roar erupted.
The fiery pillars swept across the blood sea, creating a spectacular scene where the flames and blood energy intertwined into a magnificent firestorm.
The blood sea, under the scorching heat of the flames, churned and boiled like water coming to a rapid boil.
Song Wen's expression grew grave. With the constant fiery assaults from the Heaven Burning Eagle, the blood sea could not get close to it. On the contrary, the blood energy within the Blood Sea Seal was being continuously depleted by the flames.
His figure moved swiftly like lightning as he darted toward the Heaven Burning Eagle.
The Heaven Burning Eagle's sharp eyes flashed with disdain, as if mocking the human cultivator's audacity.
While the human cultivator's artifact had some power, it still required caution. However, this human's stupidity in trying to engage it in close combat was laughable—it was like using an egg to strike a stone.
It was a fourth-tier fire-based demon beast, with not only a powerful body but also an innate fire shield for protection.
In close combat, a mere Golden Core cultivator would never be its match.
The Heaven Burning Eagle flapped its massive wings and lunged at Song Wen.
At a distance of only a few dozen paces, Song Wen's brow suddenly flashed with light, and nine transparent blades formed in the air, shooting toward the Heaven Burning Eagle.
Inside the Liangyi Sect's Five-Halls, Song Wen had already consumed a Saintly Spirit Pill and cultivated the third layer of Focused Spirit Stab.
The nine transparent blades appeared so suddenly, and the distance between the two was so short, that the Heaven Burning Eagle didn't have time to react. The spiritual blades closed in and pierced into the eagle's head one after another.
"Chi, chi, chi..."
The Heaven Burning Eagle let out several agonizing cries.
The flames it had been spewing continuously finally stopped.
The fire rising from its body gradually began to extinguish.
Its form suddenly lost control as it dove rapidly, crashing into the sea below at a sharp angle.
Song Wen charged forward, his large, sharp claws aimed at the eagle's head.
Just as his claws were about to strike, only an inch from the eagle's head, Song Wen suddenly felt an intense heat wave surge toward him.
It was only then that he noticed, despite the extinguishing of the previous massive flames, the eagle's feathers were covered by a faint purple flame.
This purple flame was so thin it almost blended with the eagle's feathers. The previous raging flames had prevented Song Wen from noticing the existence of the purple flame earlier. freēwēbηovel.c૦m
The purple flame radiated an extremely terrifying heat, as violent as a volcanic eruption.
Song Wen felt a heatwave blast toward him, as if he were standing in the middle of a sea of fire.
His dry, bark-like skin began to crack, like land that had long been parched.
Thick, black liquid oozed from the wounds, then quickly dried up under the intense heat of the purple flame, turning into hard, crusted scabs that stuck to Song Wen's skin, making him appear even more grotesque and horrifying.
Had he not used Undying True Corpse Transformation, greatly strengthening his physical body, a regular Golden Core cultivator would likely have been incinerated by the purple flame in such close proximity to the Heaven Burning Eagle.
Faced with such a terrifying spiritual flame, Song Wen dared not attack with his hands. He quickly switched tactics.
With a thought, the Mystic Frost Knife appeared in his hand.
The long blade cleaved through the air with the force to split mountains and rivers, aiming straight for the eagle's head.
"Clang!"
The blade struck the eagle's head with a resounding clash, producing a sound like metal colliding.
However, the Mystic Frost Knife did not sever the eagle's head but was instead blocked by the purple flame coating it.
Instead, the purple flame attached itself to the Mystic Frost Knife.
The blade turned bright red, emitting a series of painful shrieks.
"Clang!"
Suddenly, the Mystic Frost Knife snapped in half, splitting into two pieces.
Song Wen's face was filled with disbelief. This purple flame wasn't even actively driven by the Heaven Burning Eagle—it was simply a self-defense mechanism of the flame, and it had destroyed a low-grade magic weapon.
The strength of a fourth-tier demon beast was truly unfathomable.
Song Wen's gaze grew cold. With a twist of his wrist, he sent the broken blade forward and aimed it at the Heaven Burning Eagle's eye.
The eagle's body was surrounded by purple flames, but its eyes were unprotected.
"Thud!"
The broken blade pierced into the eagle's eye.
Its eyeball shattered, and blood sprayed out.
Just as Song Wen prepared to take advantage of the opening and drive the broken blade deeper into the eagle's head to finish it off, the eagle's other murky eye suddenly erupted with a sharp, blinding light.
The light was as piercing as a sword's edge, flashing with a chilling gleam.
The eagle had recovered from the attack of Focused Spirit Stab, and its consciousness had fully awakened.
