Chapter 259: Chapter 177: Tier Seven True Spirit_2

The situation was at a stalemate.

“Junior Brother Lei, stop for now! The opposing side is well-prepared, and the Sea of Blood is endless. There’s no need to waste any more Spirit Stones!” Venerable Qingwei sighed and persuaded Venerable Lei Hong.

Venerable Lei Hong had a grim expression and reluctantly withdrew the reinforcement of the Thunder Array, dispersing the Vast Thunder Dragon circling in the air.

If he could refine a substitute for the Purple Sky Thunder Hammer artifact array, the Spirit Stone consumption of the Vast Thunder Prison Array wouldn’t be so high. Relying on the original power and recovery speed of the Thunder Array, he could obtain the reinforcement of the Thunder Array at will, unleashing frenzied Thunder Essence, fearless of the Blood Sea Array from the Blood God Sect.

Venerable Lei Hong glanced at True Monarch Tianhong in the crowd, sighing helplessly.

True Monarch Tianhong, realizing something, had a dark expression, but his face remained wooden, revealing a stubborn resolve.

“Senior Brother, what should I do next? Let them surround us!” Venerable Lei Hong said angrily, looking at Venerable Qingwei.

Venerable Lei Hong had previously suggested to Venerable Qingwei to have True Monarch Tianhong hand over the Extreme Yang Spirit Fire, so that Master Li could help refine the Purple Sky Thunder Hammer. Now that the Blood God Sect was attacking, it was a good opportunity to press Venerable Qingwei to urge his disciple, True Monarch Tianhong, to relinquish the Extreme Yang Celestial Fire.

As long as True Monarch Tianhong handed over the Extreme Yang Celestial Fire, they could then quickly refine a substitute artifact for the Purple Sky Thunder Hammer with Master Li, possibly turning the tables on the Blood God Sect.

Venerable Qingwei furrowed his brows, contemplating Venerable Lei Hong’s earlier suggestion, hesitating whether to pressure True Monarch Tianhong.

Suddenly!

At that moment!

The ground beneath the Spirit Taming Sect suddenly trembled violently, accompanied by an earth-shattering explosion.

A rift hundreds of feet long and over a dozen feet wide suddenly appeared, horrifying purple lightning surged out from the fissure, turning the sky and earth a different color.

The ground crumbled inch by inch, and the lightning within the rift raged wildly.

The next moment, a pair of gigantic claws emerged from the rift, tearing the earth open, and a terrifying figure emerged from the crack.

The massive creature that crawled out from the rift was none other than a Purple Sky Thunder Beast, standing a hundred feet tall, resembling Mount Tai, with dark purple fur entwined with streaks of purple Thunder Serpents.

Upon its appearance, the blue Thunder Net atop the Vast Thunder Prison Array underwent a sudden change, with countless blue Vast Thunderbolts surprisingly interacting with the lightning on the Purple Sky Thunder Beast, flashing and thundering, encapsulating the Purple Sky Thunder Beast.

The aura of the Purple Sky Thunder Beast elevated once more, numerous Thunder Serpents roamed the periphery of the array, slightly touching the Sea of Blood, its edge was burned partially, spreading a charred and foul smell.

In an instant, the Sea of Blood retreated somewhat.

Within the Sect Array, a terrifying Thunder Beast suddenly appeared, with overwhelming might, eyes flashing lightning, radiating a heavy spiritual pressure, intimidatingly powerful.

Seeing its approach, many disciples of lower cultivation in the Spirit Taming Sect panicked and lost their bearings.

Numerous disciples riding Spirit Beasts couldn’t control their mounts, the terrified Spirit Beasts were in disarray like headless flies, making the scene chaotic.

Even the Spirit Beasts under the Nascent Soul True Monarchs entered into combat mode, baring fangs and staring alertly at the suddenly appearing Purple Sky Thunder Beast.

Venerable Lei Hong looked at the situation and could only smile bitterly. Since the Ancestor broke through the void and ascended, over three thousand years had passed.

The Purple Sky Thunder Beast had been in a slumber, guarding the sect, rarely waking up.

If he hadn’t become the head of the Spirit Taming Sect, Venerable Lei Hong might have forgotten that such a mountain guardian divine beast was still hidden within the sect.

Seeing the chaotic scene, Venerable Lei Hong quickly spoke to comfort the disciples, “Do not panic, this is our sect’s guardian spirit beast—the Purple Sky Thunder Beast, the mount of the Master Ancestor, do not be disrespectful.”

As soon as Venerable Lei Hong finished speaking, the disciples of the Spirit Taming Sect and many Nascent Soul True Monarchs showed a look of surprise, but upon realizing, everyone was filled with excitement.

“It’s the guardian divine beast, we still have such a guardian divine beast in our Spirit Taming Sect! That’s wonderful!”

“I never imagined!”

“Yes! I’ve been in the Spirit Taming Sect for so long and didn’t know we had this presence!”

…

The Spirit Taming Sect’s disciples excitedly discussed, not expecting that this fierce Thunder Beast was the mount of the Ancestor, giving them hope to overcome the calamity.

Li Mu was astonished as he carefully observed the robust legs and massive body of the Purple Sky Thunder Beast, shaking off the dirt from its body.

Soon, a virtual screen appeared, displaying the attributes of the Purple Sky Thunder Beast.

[Purple Sky Thunder Beast]

[Grade: Tier Seven True Spirit]

[Attributes: Innate True Spirit, Mastering Thunder Spirit, Long Lifespan, Thunderous Roar of Nine Heavens.]

[Status: Old wounds not yet healed, just awakened, ravenously hungry, simultaneous killing intent.]

[Innate Thunder True Spirit, over long years, fond of all Thunder Spiritual Food, containing a trace of Ancient Cyan Thunder Beast King’s True Blood, feeds on thunder, mastering millions of thunder, with Thunder Spirit affinity, reaching Tier Five Peak a hundred years after birth, advancing to Tier Six during Juvenile Stage in a millennium, and Tier Seven True Spirit upon maturity in three thousand years.]

After seeing the information on this beast, Li Mu couldn’t help but marvel at how capable the founding Ancestor of the Spirit Taming Sect was! To use such a powerful True Spirit to guard and protect the sect as a foundation for future generations.

With the emergence of the Purple Sky Thunder Beast, the sea of blood controlled by the Blood God Sect retreated, stabilizing the situation completely.

Venerable Lei Hong and Venerable Qingwei flew in front of the Purple Sky Thunder Beast and greeted respectfully, “Greetings, Beast God!”

The Purple Sky Thunder Beast glanced at the two and spoke in human language, “With the master not present, the Spirit Taming Sect is managed by you, and you’ve let the sect fall into such chaos, allowing a group of demon cultivators to attack at the doorstep? How will you explain this to the master?”

The Beast God, having not appeared for thousands of years, immediately scolded Venerable Lei Hong and Venerable Qingwei in front of so many people, causing them to lose face for a moment.

Venerable Lei Hong hurriedly set up a sound-proof Thunder Curtain to prevent the Spirit Taming Sect disciples from eavesdropping, as the two patiently explained to the guardian divine beast.

As the Purple Sky Thunder Beast reprimanded Venerable Lei Hong and Venerable Qingwei, the Sea of Blood suddenly split, revealing a pathway.

Three figures stepped out from the Sea of Blood into the void. They were all dressed in blood-colored magic robes, exuding a monstrous blood Qi filled with overwhelming resentment. Various Spirit Plants around were mercilessly corroded, vitality was drained away, turning to withered grass, transforming the surroundings into something resembling a Demon Abyss Purgatory.

Among the three, the leader, an effeminate man exuding a strange aura, had a series of blood-colored skulls tied around his waist, his gaze brimming with ferocity, stepping slowly into the void.

“Lei Hong! You dared to kill my beloved disciple; today, I shall slaughter your Spirit Taming Sect, offering your entire sect’s blood to my disciple!” The effeminate man’s voice was gentle, yet his words sent chills down one’s spine.

“Ha! Blood Elemental Old Demon, if you want to fight, then fight, spare me the disgusting words. Hasn’t your Blood God Sect killed enough people? If everyone came for revenge, killing you a thousand times wouldn’t be enough to atone.” Venerable Lei Hong sneered, responding with disdain.

Upon hearing this, the two cultivators beside the effeminate man began to laugh bizarrely, as if acknowledging Venerable Lei Hong’s words, then canceled their Hidden Breath Technique, revealing their sinister and evil aura as Divinity Transformation Demon Venerables, preparing for a fierce battle.

Three Divinity Transformation Mirrors!

Li Mu’s brow furrowed slightly, the Blood Refining Demon Monarch’s Blood Essence Demon Venerable was at the Late-Stage Divinity Transformation Realm, while the two Divinity Transformation Demon Venerables beside him hadn’t released their demon cultivator attributes, but their aura was equally strong, both at the Mid-Stage Divinity Transformation.

This was somewhat dangerous; were there other Divinity Transformation cultivators hiding in the Sea of Blood?

Li Mu’s Divine Thought delved into the Sea of Blood, but it was blocked by a layer of blood cloud, preventing entry, clearly indicating that this Sea of Blood was not as simple as it appeared on the surface.

Were other people from the Nine Demons Sect hiding in the Sea of Blood, or had they set up a trap outside, waiting for the right moment to strike?

Li Mu couldn’t fathom it, and for a moment, the situation became somewhat bewildering and mysterious.

Weighing the pros and cons, Li Mu felt it was safest to stay within the Sect Protection Array of the Spirit Taming Sect for now. The Sea of Blood wouldn’t be able to do much against the Tier Six Purple Sky Ten Thousand Thunder Array in a short time, and now with the Purple Sky Thunder Beast reinforcing the array, its power was further enhanced.

For now, it was best to observe quietly, wait for the situation to become clearer, and then decide what to do next.

However, at this time, a sudden change occurred!
