Chapter 1679 - Chapter 1679 The Blood-Mist Valley, the Beast’s Howl
Chapter 1679: The Blood-Mist Valley, the BeastaEUR(tm)s Howl Chapter 1679: The Blood-Mist Valley, the BeastaEUR(tm)s Howl Editor: Henyee Translations A life-and-death companion like Jiang Chengxuan had never existed when he was once the heir of the Yunlan Immortal Sect.
He never imagined that, in his lowest moments, he would encounter such a rare friendship!
Even in the face of life-and-death danger, Jiang Chengxuan remained resolute, unwilling to back down.
This act of providing assistance in such dire times deeply moved him.
“Let’s go, Brother Nanfeng!
The rescue is our priority, there’s no time to waste!
We’ll talk later once we’re out of here.” Finally, under Jiang Chengxuan’s leadership, the three of them transformed into streaks of celestial light, swiftly traversing through the void, leaving this desolate world behind.
In the howling cold wind, only the shriveled corpse of the Blood Sea City’s Lord swayed alone, his body hanging as the ominous clouds above seemed to foretell that something momentous was about to happen.
…
The Blood-Mist Gate.
The Blood-Mist Valley.
This valley was shrouded year-round in blood-colored mist, and in the crevices of the stones, dense clusters of thorned flowers grew.
These flowers swayed with the wind, scattering crimson nectar across the land, leaving bloodstains on the stone walls.
From a distance, it looked as though there were countless gaping, jagged wounds bleeding continuously in the valley.
As the thorned flowers bloomed to their peak, their twisted, human-faced appearance only added to the eerie atmosphere.
This place was located deep within the Blood-Mist Gate’s territory, a treasure trove filled with these peculiar thorned flowers.
Each of these flowers was nourished by the souls of the living, growing with incomparable demonic energy.
For demon cultivators, they were a rare and invaluable cultivation resource.
Every year, countless living souls were captured by demon cultivators to nourish these strange flowers, while countless demonic flowers were harvested and distributed to the many cultivators within the Blood-Mist Gate, strengthening the power of this demonic sect.
“How is it?
Has the seal been lifted yet?” At this moment, deep within the Blood-Mist Valley, a cold, indifferent voice slowly rang out.
Not far from the voice, a massive blood-red barrier, like an inverted cauldron, sealed off a portion of the world.
The surface of the barrier was covered with intricate black runes that moved like twisted centipedes, pulsing with pure demonic energy as they crawled through the void.
Wherever they passed, the runes left behind scorched marks, warping the space around them.
Beneath this sky, countless such black runes twisted and merged into even more sinister totems, resembling terrifying ancient magical beasts, faintly howling in the void.
This was a powerful magic formation known as the “Beast’s Howl,” a formation capable of manifesting the power of ancient beasts to suppress enemies while continuously draining their strength.
To create this formation, the Blood-Mist Gate hunted down many beasts with ancient demonic bloodlines, turning them into living stakes and planting them into the ground within the valley.
At the center of the Beast’s Howl formation, two figures could be seen imprisoned in a purple gemstone-like object, embraced in a deep slumber.
Around them, a purple moonlight phenomenon flickered, barely resisting the erosion of the Beast’s Howl formation.
However, under the burning demonic flames, the moonlight was growing dimmer, and the gemstone had already begun to crack, as though it could shatter at any moment.
“Almost there!
These two have been hanging on in the Beast’s Howl formation for ten years due to the seal.
Their end is near!” Watching the scene unfold in the blood mist, another voice rang out coldly.
The two figures in question were known as Shitian Xuan Zun and Mo Lian Xuan Zun, both being Xuan Immortals under the Blood-Mist Gate.
They were left here to guard the Beast’s Howl formation, ready to activate it and refine the two trapped individuals within.
“Ha!
When the formation breaks, I’ll have my fun!” The first speaker, Shitian Xuan Zun, sneered with a sinister expression, his eyes gleaming with perverse excitement, eager to act.
“FatheraEUR|!
MotheraEUR|!” At this moment, just outside the Beast’s Howl formation, a figure appeared, his face filled with emotion as he murmured in grief.
This figure, without a doubt, was Nanfeng from Yunnan.
And those trapped within the Beast’s Howl formation were none other than his parents!
After searching through the memories of the Blood Sea City’s Lord, they had easily infiltrated the depths of the Blood-Mist Gate.
Thanks to the City Lord’s understanding of the Blood-Mist Gate, their journey had been nearly unimpeded.
Finally, at this moment, Nanfeng was face-to-face with his long-lost parents.
However, upon seeing their miserable condition, his heart bled with sorrow, and his eyes turned blood-red.
He could feel nothing but hatred, and yet, despite the intense emotions surging within him, he did not lose his rationality.
He refrained from attacking at that very moment.
Beside him, Jiang Chengxuan was also hidden in the void, his gaze serious as he observed the situation.
After days of observation, they had roughly assessed the strength within the Blood-Mist Gate.
They had sensed no less than two dozen Xuan Immortals, with two even being in the late-stage Xuan Immortal realm.
If they were to act rashly like they did when attacking the Blood Sea City’s Lord, they would likely fail.
The Xuan Immortals of the Blood-Mist Gate could reach them in the blink of an eye and encircle them.
Thus, they knew that attacking directly was not the best option.
Fortunately, they had a plan.
They would wait for the right opportunity, which would come once the seal on Nanfeng’s parents was lifted!
At that time, the two demon immortals outside the formation would certainly activate the formation to suppress the two trapped individuals.
Then, Jiang Chengxuan and Nanfeng could strike, launching a surprise attack together with Nanfeng’s parents, a pincer attack on the two demonic Xuan Immortals!
Moreover, the activation of the Beast’s Howl formation would make their own movements less noticeable.
If any demon cultivators noticed, they would likely think it was their own side making a move.
“I hope no one else comesaEUR|” Jiang Chengxuan muttered with a sharp gaze, his voice low.
The success of this plan depended on luck.
Even so, it was their only option.
With the enemy outnumbering them, they had no other choice.
Time passed quietly in the mist, and the eerie silence was only interrupted by the occasional sinister laughter of the two demon immortals.
Then, at a certain moment, there was a faint cracking sound in the void.
The purple light flared up, and the Beast’s Howl formation erupted with a sudden change!
“Crack!
Crack!” As the light grew ever more intense, the sound of breaking continued, and the gemstone imprisoning Nanfeng’s parents exploded, sending countless crystal shards flying into the void!
With the Beast’s Howl formation’s erosion, the last of their defenses shattered.
At that moment, the two, who had been in deep slumber, suddenly awoke, and their minds quickly regained clarity.
“Hahaha!
Finally!
Your end is here!” “They’re awake?
Then it’s time for this formation to suppress them!” In the very next moment, Shitian Xuan Zun and Mo Lian Xuan Zun, who had been waiting for this, made their move almost instantly.
Their eyes were filled with cruelty as they shouted, and the images of their Xuan realms materialized behind them, pouring overwhelming demonic energy into the formation!
In an instant, the entire Beast’s Howl formation erupted with a deafening roar.
The totemic power of the runes burned fiercely, as the demonic energy surged into the sky!
“In your dream!” In that moment, the two newly awakened individuals, Nanfeng’s parents, glared in fury.
Faced with the overwhelming demonic energy pouring in like a mountain, they could only endure the pain and desperately strike back.
