Chapter 484: Prepare for the Battle
Shi Xuan took out two crystal clear, glass-like fruits, with bits of ice and snow appearing, falling, and disappearing under the pull of a mysterious force. They were the Taiyin Ice Crystal Fruits produced by the polar cold light tree, the spiritual root of heaven and earth. They could allow Yuanshen Zhenren to experience all the laws of Taiyin and ice and snow, and they had the ability to heal wounds and expel poison.
"It is indeed a spiritual fruit of heaven and earth. If I take one before crossing the calamity, I can immediately complete my merits and save two hundred years of hard training, without having to force my way through the barriers." Meng Nishang took one of the Taiyin Ice Crystal Fruits, looked at it and praised it lightly, and then the Taiyin Ice Crystal Fruit turned into a stream of light and flew into her mouth.
A little bit of snowflakes appeared and condensed out of thin air, floating towards Meng Nishang. In a flash, within ten feet around her, it had become a world of only ice and snow. The snowflakes were so dense that there was almost no gap, and the cold air was strong and restrained.
Especially so, Shi Xuan and Zhenren Jiang, who were seven or eight feet away, could not stand the coldness, and they were surrounded by purple lightning and barely resisted.
Six hours later, a figure emerged from the dense snow, slowly walking out. It gradually became clearer. It was Meng Nishang in white clothes and black hair. As she walked forward step by step, the ice and snow circled into her body, making her emit a cold glow, like a fairy in the moon.
The ice and snow world completely dissipated. Meng Nishang nodded gently to Shi Xuan and Master Jiang and said, "The hidden dangers brought by forcibly crossing the calamity can only be made up slowly, not overnight, but the injuries caused by Master Xueying have almost healed, and he can barely fight. Should we go now, or wait a few years, and make more preparations?"
Shi Xuan and Master Jiang looked at each other and said together, "Reply to Senior Meng, let's go now."
The longer this kind of thing is delayed, the easier it is to fail. After all, Meng Nishang has just advanced, and her cultivation is much inferior to Master Xueying. If she makes a slight mistake, he will find out the clues. Moreover, Master Xueying is plundering the essence and blood of the cultivators to make up for himself. Maybe in a few years, his injuries will be almost healed, and then the hope will be even slimmer.
Meng Nishang didn't ask any more questions. A gust of wind and snow rose up, wrapped Shi Xuan and the others in it, and then turned into a cold wind and went towards Penglai Sect.

“Didn’t find any trace of Yaowang Sect?” On the blood-colored lotus platform, True Lord Blood Shadow opened his eyes and smiled at the return of Old Ancestor Blood River.
A bitter smile appeared on Old Ancestor Blood River’s old face: “Reporting to the ancestor, the place has long been deserted. At most, some means were left in secret to observe the situation, but it is difficult to trace them.”
True Lord Blood Shadow said nothing more, and continued to close his eyes, letting the blood shadows flying back from all directions merge into himself. Among them, the blood shadows returning from the nearby sea area were the majority, thousands and thousands, densely packed.
Suddenly, two scarlet, clear blood shadows sprang out from the southwest, passing through the blood sea at a very fast speed and drilling into True Lord Blood Shadow’s body. The blood light around True Lord Blood Shadow suddenly increased, like water about to drip, strange and mysterious.
“Did you plunder the essence of Yuanshen Zhenren?” Old Ancestor Blood River was also an expert in Blood Shadow Magic, so he naturally saw it at a glance.
True Lord Blood Shadow sighed with great satisfaction: "After receiving Meng Nishang's warning, the sects in the Ten Thousand Mountains of the Southern Barbarians and the Tianji City of the Western Wilderness dared to wait and see. Have they forgotten my reputation after seven or eight thousand years?"
Those small and medium-sized sects and the loose cultivator alliance actually understood the terror of the Heavenly Lord, but when Meng Nishang warned, True Lord Blood Shadow was only dealing with the Penglai Sect, so they were a little careless and thought it was just a feud between the two sects. Anyway, among the eight major sects, it didn't matter which one they were attached to, so there was no need to escape like other major sects, but who knew that True Lord Blood Shadow would be so crazy.
"Congratulations, Master, so that your injuries can be recovered soon." The Blood River Patriarch said calmly.
"Well, the essence of a Yuanshen Zhenren is equivalent to thousands of Shenhun cultivators." True Lord Blood Shadow nodded and began to control his avatar to surround several sects. After all, there are many ruins in the Yuyu World. The mountain protection formations of those small and medium-sized sects are also mysterious. With the suppression of Yuanshen Zhenren, although they can't stop the clone of True Lord Blood Shadow, they can still support it for a while. Therefore, True Lord Blood Shadow did not dare to be careless, fearing that they would find a chance to escape.
As for the ordinary cultivators in Nanman, Xihuang, North Pole, and Middle Earth, True Lord Blood Shadow could not spare his mind to take care of them. Anyway, they couldn't escape anywhere.
Thunder roared in the sky, leaden clouds rolled, and a huge purple lightning suddenly fell.
True Lord Blood Shadow snorted coldly: "What about the heavenly tribulation? I am the monarch of the sky, how can I be afraid of a small heavenly tribulation." The sea of blood surged up into the sky and greeted the purple thunder heavenly tribulation.
Thunders of heaven struck down one after another, like a giant tree supporting the sky, with complicated branches and lightning lights swirling around it, turning the outside of Penglai Sect into a forest of thunder and lightning, fierce and gorgeous, but the sea of blood rolled and never dried up, and even the power of the Great Dao was not borrowed, and the heavenly tribulation was completely blocked.
It was not until two hours later that the thunder and lightning gradually stopped, and the dark clouds slowly dissipated. The mighty heavenly tribulation was ultimately helpless against True Lord Blood Shadow.
"Hmph, you can't even hurt me, and you've wasted my time." Although True Lord Blood Shadow looked relaxed, he was already seriously injured, and his cultivation had fallen to the peak of the three-tribulation Yang God. There were many clones outside, and facing the heavenly tribulation equivalent to the peak of the fourth-level immortal art that fell like rain, he was also very exhausted at this time, so he had to let the clones attack more fiercely in order to plunder the essence of the Yuanshen to replenish himself.
As soon as the voice fell, a bright moon rose slowly in the distance of the vast sea of blood, at the northern end. Its light was cold and clear. Wherever it shone, frost formed on the sea of blood, and flakes of ice formed in an instant, turning into white mist and ice chips, shining with the real sun hanging high in the sky.
…………
"Meng Nishang recovered so quickly?!" True Lord Blood Shadow felt Meng Nishang's strength, which was not much different from when she first attacked. "Could it be that there are some elixirs left in Guanghan Sect? Or did she get some kind of heavenly and earthly fruit that matches her technique by chance?"
True Lord Blood Shadow has elixirs for healing, but after practicing Blood Shadow's magic to this point, most injuries cannot be cured by elixirs and can only be recovered by plundering. Moreover, True Lord Xu's attack injured the wisp of his soul that he entrusted to the Void Avenue, which must be nurtured over time to recover.
The Blood River Patriarch also showed a look of surprise. Obviously, he did not expect Meng Nishang to recover more than half in less than a day and attack again across the sea.
The bloodthirsty madman Deng Guangze turned around to guard the Penglai Sect, fearing that the five people inside would find a gap to escape when the two True Lords fought.
In the Penglai Sect, the five True Lords have been prepared, concentrating, and waiting for an opportunity, so they had already discovered Meng Nishang's attack.
"Senior Meng's injury healed so quickly?" Lin Luo was surprised. It was only a little over half a day. Before, True Lord Blood Shadow said that it would be impossible for Senior Meng to recover without seven or eight hundred years.
Mo Yuan did not show any surprise: "Since Senior Meng has recovered a lot and rushed here, we should not bother about why she recovered so quickly. Just prepare to escape."
"Yes." The other four nodded in unison, with serious expressions, because they only had this one chance left. If they failed, they were doomed to fall. After all, without the mountain protection fairy formation of the Nine Heavens Imperial Thunder Immortal Seal, even the Three Tribulations Yangshen True Lord could not stop for long.
They waited quietly, learned from the last lesson, and prepared to overdraw the fairy formation again when Meng Nishang and True Lord Blood Shadow fought the most fiercely. In that way, not only would True Lord Blood Shadow have to block with his distraction and could not attack directly, but he could also use the explosive power of the Nine Heavens Imperial Thunder Immortal Formation to interfere with the Blood River Ancestor.
…………
As the bright moon flew over with a mysterious trajectory, snowflakes appeared in the air and fell into the sea of blood. Most of these snowflakes were hexagonal, but the patterns on them were intricate, different, varied, and extremely beautiful, as if they were transformed by the laws of heaven and earth and condensed by endless coldness.
Every snowflake, as long as it touched the sea of blood, could freeze the nearby blood water, even the depths of the sea of blood.
For a moment, the entire sea of blood was once again shrouded in a world of blizzards, with cold winds howling and snowflakes covering it, as if it had come to the ice and snow deep in the Arctic that never dissipated.
Under the sea, countless rounds of bright moons seemed to appear, emitting a cold and lonely brilliance, assimilating and melting all the surrounding blood water. This was Meng Nishang's specialty, the "Guanghan Haoyue".
Blood lotuses appeared and bloomed in the blood water, emitting billions of blood-colored rays of light, resisting the moonlight, and then the blood waves slapped those bright moons.
I saw a layer of moonlight all over the blood sea with a radius of thousands of miles outside Penglai Sect. Under the moonlight, the blood water disappeared rapidly and fell sharply. In the depths of the blood sea, the bright moons were eroded by the blood water and turned into blood moons.
In this fight, Meng Nishang and Blood Shadow True Lord actually tied!
Blood Shadow True Lord knew his own business. His injuries had just recovered a little, but he was not as good as Meng Nishang, who was 60% to 70% better. Moreover, he had many incarnations outside, and his strength was greatly reduced. He was also consumed by the heavenly tribulation and could not completely suppress Meng Nishang as before. So he sacrificed his life treasure Blood Demon God Banner without hesitation and let the incarnation return.
Those Yuanshen True Lords are lucky!
The Blood Demon God Banner with a deep black background and countless blood shadows painted on it stood on the blood sea, looking both weird and terrifying. The banner was painted with pieces of rich blood light, and it brought countless strange, hideous and terrifying blood-colored demon shadows to hit the huge bright moon in the air.
At the same time, the Blood Shadow Master's body twisted and squirmed, and turned into a translucent and clear blood shadow. With a ferocious smile, it turned into a blurred blood light and pounced on Meng Nishang.
Although the magic arts of the Blood Demon Sect are strange and difficult to defend, there are actually not many kinds of them. However, for them, these magic arts are just embellishments. The most fundamental, best, and most powerful is the "Immortal Blood Shadow" from practicing the "Blood Shadow Divine Art". If you practice it to a very deep level, no matter how many kinds of magic arts and magic weapons you have, I can pounce on you without any obstacles and plunder all the flesh and blood, and the essence of the soul.
Even if there is no art, magic, treasure, etc. to restrain his immortal blood shadow, even if it is a great power who has survived the first decline of the heavenly man, it is helpless to the Blood Shadow Master, and the only thing is to suppress it. If you want to rely on strength to kill, at least you must be a great power of the second decline of the heavenly man, who contains the power of all the small worlds in every attack.
Snowflakes from the sky fell on the blood shadow and penetrated directly without creating a trace of frost. Only when the cold moonlight shone on it did the blood shadow produce a few ripples, and the faint white chill disappeared in an instant.
