Slaying Demons: Starting with Upgrading my Calligraphy-Chapter 616 - 521: Goddess Hongmo Zhiluo (Part 2)

"How could this happen?!"

The anomaly of the Space-Bounding Passage made Deng Ling and the two others' expressions change drastically.

From the torrent of flesh and limbs in the Blood River, they sensed an extremely strong aura of a Divine Breeder.

"Does it even need to be asked? Your home has probably been raided."

Calmly speaking, the Tai Yin deftly performed a spell with his hands, his eyes emitting a surge of bloody light. Accompanied by the ancient, low chanting of sutras and mantras, the Space-Bounding Passage akin to the torrentous Blood River began to shake violently, the murmur of the ochre waters starting to invade from unknown corners.

"Our home has been found..."

The words of the Tai Yin struck Deng Ling and his companions like a bolt from the blue, freezing them in place.

The first to react, Deng Ling dropped to his knees before the Tai Yin, kowtowing with a bang:

"Please, Daoist, save my clan. As long as you are willing to act, I, Deng Ling, will become your servant from this day forth. Even if you wish for my death, I will not hesitate for a moment!"

Beside him, Deng Ming and Deng Lei also knelt down, the dull sound of their kowtowing echoing one after another.

"Alright, who said I wouldn't assist?"

With a light glance at the three kneeling before him, the Tai Yin's eyes moved slightly, a smile tugging at the corner of his lips as he calculated inwardly.

Receiving a positive response from the Tai Yin, the siblings Deng Ling, Deng Ming, and Deng Lei showed signs of joy, expressing their gratitude repeatedly.

"Daoist, is there anything we can do?"

Standing beside the Tai Yin, Deng Ling drew the Divine Marvel longsword named [Deep Winter], its icy chill slowly congealing behind him into the phantom of a divine statue with a benevolent face, a halo atop its head, ten arms, and beneath its feet, ten thousand ice waves.

"Someone has usurped control over this Space-Bounding Passage and disguised it as its original form.

If we hadn't discovered this, the passage wouldn't take us to your home.

Instead, it would lead us to an extremely dangerous perilous ground!"

By attracting the invasive waters of the Santu River to erode the Strange Force within the Space-Bounding Passage, the Tai Yin attempted to restore it to its original state.

But the force that usurped the passage was extremely domineering.

The Santu River could barely counteract it, allowing them to remain in place without being transported further, but unable to follow the original route and reach the Purification One's home.

This world, after all, does have some worthy adversaries...

Finally encountering some obstacles that could contend with him, the Tai Yin felt no sorrow, instead finding it interesting, sparing him from boredom.

"Since that's the case, let's see whose strength is greater!"

His eyes suddenly turned into a deep abyss of black, the Tai Yin clasped his hands together, forming them into a triangular ancient Dharma Seal.

Supreme Dark Path of Taiyin—Obliteration!

Utilizing the killer move from the Taiyin Wuji True Scripture, as a cold and indifferent gaze swept across, a terrifyingly extreme dead white surged forth, erasing all the flesh remains and filth within the Space-Bounding Passage as if wiped away by an eraser, disappearing at a visibly rapid pace.

"Ugh!"

Upon seeing more than half of the desecrated blood and flesh disappear within the passage, a barely audible muffled groan suddenly sounded.

This sound was extremely faint, amidst the turbulent flesh and flood of river sounds, almost unnoticeable.

Yet, it was caught by the Tai Yin Daoist.

"Show yourself!"

With a flip of his right hand, the Frost Cloud Flame manifested, and the Tai Yin fanned forcefully, unleashing a vast cold white frosty power, white light shining brilliantly, cold mist spiraling, transforming the entire Space-Bounding Passage into an ancient frozen wasteland, freezing it in an instant.

Held a short yard-length umbrella, brimming with countless flesh remains and three hundred terrifying demonic pupils, a man with only a purple-black vertical eye remaining was frozen in place.

"Purification One?"

Tai Yin cast a glance at the Demonic Pupil Umbrella in the man's hand, raising his brows slightly.

"It's... Goddess Hongmo Zhiluo... Unexpectedly, they have been completely corrupted."

Recognizing the Demonic Pupil Umbrella in the man's hand, Deng Ling and the siblings' expressions suddenly dimmed.

This man was also a member of the Purification Ones,

The divine statue worshipped was called: [Goddess Hongmo Zhiluo].

However, as the Snow Lotus continued its erosion.

This divine statue and the worshipping Two-Faced People were also mutated and fell into becoming Divine Breeders.

"So, looking at it this way, does this mean the location of the Ancestral Home has been exposed by the Red Ink Tribe?"

Gazing at the God Seed Bearer of the Red Ink Tribe encased in ice, Deng Ling frowned deeply.

"Whether it is or not, we'll know once we get there."

After unmasking the mastermind behind the Space-Bounding Path channel, Tai Yin summoned the White Bone Mysterious Yin Banner, unleashing a black mist to engulf the man and refine him into a White Bone Strongman.

The Demonic Pupil Umbrella, on the other hand, was captured in his hand.

"It's truly baffling that a magical treasure, capable of contending with mine, rests in the hands of one with such a frail body."

Flipping the Demonic Pupil Umbrella a few times, Tai Yin tutted softly.

The power aura emanating from this Demonic Pupil Umbrella was no less than that of a Dao Expert at the third level of Dao Embodiment.

Otherwise, it wouldn't have been able to contest his control over the Space-Bounding Path channel.

He even had to employ the annihilation methods of the Supreme Dark Path of Taiyin to force it out.

Such a high-quality magical treasure, if placed in the Tianyuan Main Realm, would likely kill anyone without the Dao Body Realm's power just by being near its aura.

However, the Two-Faced Person he just enveloped in the White Bone Mysterious Yin Banner could barely be considered at a Bloodstain level, yet they could nearly wield this treasure unharmed.

"Utterly puzzling."

Shaking his head lightly, Daoist of the Taiyin directly summoned the Yin Taotie, tossing the Demonic Pupil Umbrella into its abyss-like mouth.

The power systems of the two worlds differ, so even though the Demonic Pupil Umbrella possessed extraordinary divine marvel, he couldn't use it.

He could only hand it over to the Black Glutton to see if there was any residual value to extract.

After eradicating the completely corrupted mastermind, Tai Yin immediately gained control of the Space-Bounding Path channel and began heading towards the Ancestral Home of the Purification One.

...

BANG!

As soon as he stepped out of the Space-Bounding Path channel, a slender flying sword imbued with fierce killing intent shot directly at Tai Yin's face.

A sharp, ear-piercing crash echoed, and sparks flew!

A terrifying bone fist appeared out of nowhere, shattering the slender flying sword as Tai Yin, under the protection of two towering White Bone Strongman, stepped into the Ancestral Home of the Purification One.

The vast underground palace, constructed entirely from neatly squared-off blue steel, gleamed with a faint green glow wherever the eye could see.

On either side of the elongated drawbridge leading to the underground palace stood divine statues of various forms, each in the midst of a vivid and lifelike expression—sitting or standing, glaring or kindly smiling, as if they might come to life at any moment.

Around the perimeter of the underground palace, a group of Purification Ones clad in blood-red garments, with slender flying swords hovering at their sides, was engaged in fierce combat with God Seed Bearers of unknown origin.

These blood-clad Purification Ones were powerful fighters, swiftly darting back and forth like afterimages, leaving bloodshed and dismemberment in their wake.

Now and then, the slender flying swords hovering next to them would fire off, piercing through the heads of multiple God Seed Bearers in an instant, nailing them to the ground.

"It seems the situation isn't as bad as you imagined."

Observing the intense battle between the Purification Ones and the God Seed Bearers, Tai Yin spoke softly.

"No, the Sword Cultivator Asura is the final defense of the underground palace. Since they have been mobilized, it means some God Seed Bearers have already penetrated deep into the underground palace."

Seeing the Sword Cultivator Asura, who were ruthlessly slaughtering the God Seed Bearers, Deng Ling's expression grew more grave.

The situation at the Ancestral Home was more dangerous than he had estimated.

"It's fine, we're not too late, not too late."

With a light gesture of his palm, the Blood Transformation Divine Saber, emitting a hazy crimson light, appeared. Its continuously swirling blade light hummed incessantly, seemingly resonating with Tai Yin's gradually rising killing intent.

"Go, feast to your heart's content."

With a subtle smile at the corner of his mouth, Tai Yin released his right hand, allowing the Blood Transformation Divine Saber, which had long been eager to act, to transform into a streak of blood-red light shooting forward, immediately targeting those God Seed Bearers battling the Sword Cultivator Asura!

Puh puh puh puh—

Sacrifice the gods!

Sacrifice the Buddhas!

The Blood Transformation Divine Saber, now fully reveling in its ferocious might, darted throughout every corner of the underground palace, heedlessly reaping lives.

As it did so, it filled the entire underground palace with a chilling blade's hum that made everyone's skin crawl and sent shivers down their spines!
