Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Chapter 709: Chapter 709: Blood Red Desert_1

This nearly forgotten Little Butterfly, with just a gentle flap of its wings, triggered a massive upheaval.

Of course, this upheaval was beyond the Mysterious World, and Ling Xiao definitely could not sense it.

What he could sense was merely the peculiar aura emitted from within Little Butterfly, which unexpectedly elevated his cultivation level by a rank.

Twenty percent strength of a Half-step Celestial!

Could advancement really be so effortless?

Ling Xiao couldn’t help but reveal a shocked expression, it seemed that this Little Butterfly had some special connection with the Mountain and River Martial Soul.

And it was definitely not something ordinary.

The enhancement brought about by the gentle flap of its wings was almost on par with the spirit liquid Ling Xiao had created using tens of millions of Low-grade Spirit Stones, simply defying the heavens.

”You actually advanced?”

The Moon Lady too was somewhat surprised.

Enhancing cultivation by reading, she truly had never heard of such a thing before.

”That’s right, I advanced, but not because of the book, but because of something else. By the way, Sister Moon, are you also going to the Sacred Dynasty Martial Arts Festival?”

Ling Xiao asked.

”Of course, I must go, because I too am eager to know the strength of the Sacred Emperor and the Heavenly King Sect Leader.”

There’s no first in literature, and no second in martial arts.

The Moon Lady, with her Yin-Yang Realm cultivation, had once encountered the mighty Evil Beast Demon King, but now, she was almost in an invincible state.

This feeling wasn’t good, so she hoped to see more powerful experts.

The Heavenly Dragon Continent might have declined, but since the Mountain and River Martial Soul had reappeared above the Heavenly Dragon Continent, it was possible that even stronger martial artists would emerge.

However, the Moon Lady did not leave with Ling Xiao and the others this time, perhaps thinking that constantly staying by Ling Xiao’s side might affect his improvement.

After all, once someone has a backer, it’s very easy to gradually start slacking off.

Ling Xiao greatly respected and understood the Moon Lady’s choice.

Afterward, under the leadership of Wu Xiang, Golden Light Heavenly Lord, Guanghan Celestial Venerate, and Divine Sky Heavenly Venerate, over a hundred disciples selected from the Inner Sect boarded the Moonlight Treasure Ship, heading for the True Demon Forbidden Land.

As they left the Sect, not yet far away, a fierce and vengeful gaze locked onto the Moonlight Treasure Ship, cold and sinister.

This vengeful and icy gaze did not escape Ling Xiao’s detection with his soul power.

That was the look of the Demonflame Celestial.

Regarding the Demonflame Celestial, Ling Xiao had considered whether to strike first, but the problem was that his spiritual body was gone, and he was definitely no match for the Demonflame Celestial.

Although Wu Xiang and the Moon Lady could kill the Demonflame Celestial, he hadn’t done anything wrong to the Sect during this time, and to kill him without reason would be no different from what had happened to Chang Yueli and others in the past.

For this reason, the Demonflame Celestial had remained alive.

But recently, this person had been very low-profile, constantly cultivating in seclusion.

However, no matter how much he cultivated, he found that Ling Xiao’s strength was getting closer and closer to his, and now, he felt a pressure like never before.

Especially after carefully studying Ling Xiao’s growth trajectory, he became even more restless.

It had been only about half a year since Ling Xiao joined the Moon Hua Sect, but everything he had done was almost awe-inspiring.

Dominating the Outer Sect to become the number one of the Outer Sect!

Dealing with the Plague Demon King quietly and subsequently being favored by the Moon Lady.

Then, in the Moon Blossom Pagoda, he broke the ten-thousand-year record and firmly established his authority, causing their faction to lose all power, and even the Moon Blossom Fairy aided him.

Afterwards, he became a core disciple and killed Ming Tian, the top talent of the new generation within the Moon Hua Sect.

Atop the martial arts competition among the four sects, a battle shook the entire land, leaving Beast King Palace’s Tyrant Sky Tiger and Sword King Sect’s Chen Meng utterly disoriented.

What’s even more terrifying is that when the Holy Son came with troops to question him, the youth had not lost any bit of his imposing manner and even chased the Holy Son and his party out of the Moon Hua Sect.

Nowadays, the talks outside are all about how Ling Xiao will definitely become the newest of the Sacred Dynasty’s Six Young Masters at this Sacred Dynasty Martial Arts Festival.

Capable of defeating Jian Wuji, he might even challenge the Holy Son!

These horrifying records left the Demonflame Celestial unable to remain at peace any longer. He initially wanted to keep improving his cultivation level, and after surpassing Wu Xiang and the Moon Lady, he was looking forward to tormenting these people.

But now it seems he might not even surpass those two before Ling Xiao surpasses him.

So he absolutely could not continue to sit and wait for death.

He returned to the Volcano Palace, where a man in black was waiting.

”Go back and tell that lord I accept his suggestion!”

the Demonflame Celestial said coldly to the man in black.

”That’s more like it. You should be very clear that without our help, you alone could never take over the Moon Hua Sect, let alone kill Ling Xiao. Until next time!”

The man in black smiled slightly, turned, and left the Volcano Palace, quickly disappearing into the distance.

”There’s no choice left, come what may. Even if I turn into a devil, I must eliminate this Ling Xiao, otherwise, I will never have a peaceful day!”

Grinding his teeth, the Demonflame Celestial sat back down with his legs crossed, and black flames burned behind him.

...

The Blood Red Desert, the True Demon Forbidden Land!

The grim red sun shone down on the land, casting an eerie glow.

The terrifying heat made the air seemingly twist like water currents, with skeletons and broken weapons scattered everywhere on the ground.

A luxurious treasure ship approached from a distance, carrying a group from the Moon Hua Sect.

”Sect Master, let’s land the Moonlight Treasure Ship. The airspace near the True Demon Forbidden Land is very dangerous for flying, and we’re not far now,”

said Divine Sky Heavenly Venerate, an elder with experience here, who had visited before. As they neared, he reminded Wu Xiang.

Wu Xiang nodded and commanded the Moonlight Treasure Ship to land.

Whooo...

The wild winds of the desert raged, mixed with a thick scent of blood, making even the Transcendent Realm Martial Artists, protected by their True Essence, feel somewhat suffocated in this environment.

”Everyone, be careful. The Blood Red Desert often witnesses bizarre occurrences, believed to be the hauntings of the souls of the fallen True Demon Empire.”

Divine Sky Heavenly Venerate warned everyone, getting ready.

However, at that moment, a vast shadow emerged within the raging wind, swiftly approaching them.

”Not good, it’s the Black Demon Shadow!”

Ling Xiao had heard of the Black Demon Shadow. You could consider it a natural disaster or a mischievous act by monsters.

This was because the Black Sandstorm had amalgamated with lost souls, making the storm even more ferocious and intelligent.

The most terrifying thing was that any living beings caught in the attack of the Black Demon Shadow would turn into withered corpses devoid of any blood.

”Quick! Everyone gather your strength and blast this Black Demon Shadow away, or we’ll all die!”

Divine Sky Heavenly Venerate roared, already beginning to gather his power.

The others, not daring to delay, desperately began accumulating their power.

Boom!

The combined attack of more than two hundred people, including masters from the Cave Heaven Realm, hit the Black Demon Shadow, only to push it back a few dozen meters.
