Buzzing...
A violent vibrating sound came from the mist in the backyard. Ye Tianhan raised his eyebrows coldly. Although he had dealt with Lu Ba, he knew that the real battle was just beginning.
The final weapon of the Abbot of the Arhat Hall was about to emerge. He could sense it instinctively; this would be the most severe test and the strongest opponent Ye Tian had faced since his debut.
In the backyard, it was still shrouded in a thick gray mist.
Ye Tian looked inside and saw what seemed to be colorful lights swirling within. Through the mist, seven blood-red eyes flickered with a fierce light.
Giant Blood Leech, what kind of existence would that be? Just its eyes were already as long as an adult's arm. If it revealed its entire body or latched onto someone for a sip, even a Martial Unity Expert would likely find it hard to escape.
Based on its size, even an elephant would be drained of blood in an instant.
"Is this... still considered a beast?" Ye Tian wondered in astonishment. The beast chapter did not mention any creature like the Blood Leech; they seemed to come from a mysterious void, and their arrival appeared solely to increase slaughter and fear.
"Ye Tian, you are both unfortunate and fortunate; today you will become the first sacrifice after the awakening of the Blood Leech King!" The cold voice of the Abbot of the Arhat Hall came from within, sounding somewhat hoarse for some reason.
"Bring it on."
Hiss hiss hiss!
The Blood Leech King emitted a series of strange cries, sharp and high-pitched, like iron scraping against iron, causing pain to the eardrums and sending chills down one's spine.
Colorful Radiance intensified with eerie cries, thoroughly penetrating the gray mist and radiating in all directions.
Ye Tian focused intently, unsure of what kind of attack Blood Leech King would employ, but he could guess it would not be as simple as just sucking blood.
Blood was its food; sucking blood was merely the process of consuming it, not its method of hunting.
Rumbling...
Sounds of tremors began to emerge from the gray mist, as if the earth were shaking, accompanied by a deep, rolling thunder that was quite unsettling.
Ye Tianxin thought to act first; although the situation was unclear, it was certain that Blood Leech King was not an easy opponent. Rather than waiting for clarity, it was better to strike immediately.
At the very least, even if he couldn't inflict any damage, it would serve as a test.
With this in mind, Ye Tian changed his hand seals. As his fingers interlocked in the final gesture, the Bagua Thunder Seal appeared before him.
A mix of azure and gold shone brilliantly, the Bagua Pattern seemed to be crafted by divine hands, radiating with splendor.
At this moment, the spiritual energy within Ye Tian continuously flowed into the Bagua Thunder Seal, causing his entire body to vibrate subtly yet rapidly and rhythmically. The elemental energy of heaven and earth was being absorbed and transformed into Martial Origin Power, ultimately converging within the Bagua Pattern.
The Bagua Pattern began to expand systematically; in just a few breaths, it had grown from its initial size of a jade plate to several feet in diameter.
At this rate, after a short while longer, Ye Tian would condense the most powerful Bagua Thunder Seal ever recorded.
Of course, the opponent clearly would not give him as much time as it takes to brew a cup of tea.
The colorful radiance emitted by the Blood Leech King was becoming increasingly dazzling, and the gray mist was gradually dissipating.
It was about to reveal its true form.
Ye Tian felt sweat on his forehead; it was not an easy task to simultaneously exert full power from the Spirit Pouch and Martial Origin Power. He felt as if an invisible hand was forcefully pulling at him from within, a sensation that he might be completely drained.
This feeling was not pleasant, but facing such a formidable enemy, Ye Tian's blood was boiling with excitement.
"Uh... Ah!!"
Suddenly, in the backyard enveloped by the colorful radiance, the Abbot of the Arhat Hall seemed to suffer some severe injury, letting out a piercing wail.
However, there was no fear in that cry, indicating that he had long anticipated this situation.
"Could it be that the Blood Leech King has drained his blood?" Ye Tian thought to himself. After all, that vicious creature had no humanity; even the Abbot of the Arhat Hall who had awakened it might not be able to control it.
"Hahaha, ahhhhh!"
The mad laughter intertwined with the tragic wails as the Abbot of the Arhat Hall seemed to fall into madness, like a frenzy in the final moments of life.
Ye Tian furrowed his brows as a terrifying thought surfaced in his mind.
At the moment of distraction, the rotation speed of the Bagua Pattern suddenly slowed down. Ye Tian, realizing this, dared not be distracted any longer and quickly focused his mind to accelerate his progress again.
Even if he couldn't summon the Bagua Thunder Seal before the Blood Leech King appeared, he at least needed to gather the strongest momentum by the time it manifested.
Boom!
At that moment, a terrifying tremor suddenly erupted from the backyard, and colorful rays of light surged, enveloping the entire courtyard, even blocking out the sun's brilliance.
Ye Tianxin was startled; it seemed that the revival of the Blood Leech King had reached its final stage. It wouldn't be long before this bloodthirsty creature would emerge!
Right now, he couldn't afford to think too much. First, based on time calculations, he probably wouldn't be able to gather the Bagua Thunder Seal into a formidable force within the scheduled time. Second, judging by the momentum of this colorful light, the power gap between both sides was indeed vast. A full-force strike would be like gambling; if it failed, he would certainly perish.
Thus, Ye Tian decided to strike decisively. He didn't want to gamble his life here. Just as the Abbot of the Arhat Hall had said, matters that stirred up great changes were not something he should be involved in at this moment.
The same reasoning applied to eliminating threats; mountain bandits could be dealt with easily, but such a fierce and malevolent being was clearly beyond his capability and should be left for the big figures to handle.
With this thought in mind, Ye Tian thrust his palms forward, and the Bagua Thunder Seal began to vibrate violently as he prepared to unleash it.
Just then, Ye Tian suddenly felt a tremor from the ground beneath him, accompanied by a powerful aura rapidly approaching him.
Due to the overwhelming colorful light obscuring his vision, he couldn't see what was happening clearly.
But at this moment, even if he thought with his feet, he could tell that the Blood Leech King had awakened, and he had become its first target after its revival.
Commonly known as a sacrifice...
At this moment, Ye Tian displayed an extraordinary calmness. Although he was aware of the immense danger he faced, he did not lose his composure; instead, he remained as tranquil as water.
He slightly closed his eyes, entering an unprecedented state of ethereality. At this moment, his keen perception came into play.
In his mind, the general situation became clear.
The Blood Leech King charged in from the backyard, its eerie green pincers aimed at its own chest, dripping with a foul-smelling green liquid that fell to the ground. Instantly, the ground emitted a sizzling sound, followed by a wisp of white smoke rising as it corroded a bottomless small hole.
Upon sensing this scene, Ye Tian's palms trembled once more, already exuding considerable momentum as the grinding-sized Bagua Thunder Seal roared forward.
At the same time, Ye Tian tapped his toes and floated away.
Almost at the moment he vanished, a tremendous sound erupted from where he had just stood, followed by a violent shockwave sweeping through.
This was the formidable recoil power of the Bagua Thunder Seal. Even though it was unleashed from Ye Tian's hands, it inevitably sent him flying into the air.
Roar~~!
Below, colorful rays of light still filled the air, and wherever one looked was a dazzling spectacle.
If one were unaware of the situation, they might think that some great figure was once again demonstrating unparalleled divine powers.
But Ye Tian was very clear that behind this hazy and brilliant colorful light was an extraordinary malevolent entity.
It was like a transformed centipede and highly venomous snakes; after achieving mastery in their cultivation, they would emit colorful rays of light.
Soon, the piercing and shrill howls ceased, and the colorful light dimmed slightly.
"Did I injure it?" Ye Tianxin wondered, surprised. He had never expected to inflict any harm on the Blood Leech King.
Below, due to the dimming of the colorful light, a silhouette measuring ten zhang began to faintly emerge.
Its body stretched from the backyard, directly spanning across the inner courtyard, with the source of the colorful light being its massive form.
"Hiss..." Ye Tian inhaled sharply. To be honest, a ten-zhang figure was not particularly enormous compared to many beasts he had seen, but one must remember that this was an insect!
"Haha, Ye Tian, I didn't expect you to actually have some skills."
The voice of the Abbot of the Arhat Hall came through, or rather, it was the voice of the Abbot of the Arhat Hall that had already changed in tone. That voice sounded like a vengeful spirit from the underworld, sending chills down one's spine.
"What do you mean?" Ye Tian felt a chill in his heart. The tone of the other party's speech felt very strange, and he vaguely sensed that it was as if he were conversing with the Blood Leech King.
"Although you cannot inflict any real damage on me, I must commend your strength." The ghostly voice echoed again from below.
"This entity..." Ye Tian took a deep breath. He had heard this term before, and it reminded him of a scene from several years ago.
At that time, Wu Tianci attempted to assassinate Ye Tian at Cold Family Pavilion, using a secret technique called Black Fiend.
The Black Fiend did not belong to Martial Sovereign martial arts, nor was it part of Spirit Sect's path; it wasn't even a Blood Sect Secret Technique.
If one had to describe it, it could only be said that it was not of this world.
Yet, this strange entity ultimately fused with Wu Tianci, who then began to refer to himself as his true self.
Could it be that the Blood Leech King and Black Fiend belonged to the same category of beings? They were fierce and mysterious, originating from the same realm!
They were not recorded in Classic Texts, unknown to the public and hidden from sight; only a small number of individuals could control them.
No, to be precise, they controlled a small number of people, residing within or manipulating their souls. They used these vile and sinister creatures as puppets to wreak havoc in the human world.
Wu Tianci was one such case, and so was the Abbot of the Arhat Hall. They appeared no different from ordinary people in their daily lives and could act according to their own thoughts.
However, once they awakened the evil thoughts within them and summoned these unknown beings, they would become hosts for the strange and wicked…
Thinking of this, Ye Tian's mind shook violently. Beyond the Spirit Martial Dark Three Sects, there was likely an incredibly powerful force at play. Moreover, they were not human…
