Chapter 1420: Chapter 55: About the Reincarnation of a True Immortal_2

“Master! I’ll tell you the truth, the relics of the Blood Venerate have been plundered by the Wang family decades ago. Now all that remains is an empty shell, left intentionally to trap you! Every piece of intelligence you’ve received over the decades was deliberately fed to you by the Wang family.”

“What, what? How is this possible?”

Shadow Snake Demonic Princess gasped in shock, feeling her scalp tingle and a chill run down her spine, her mind felt numb.

If all the news was fake, then what was real?!

If what Chimei said was true, then had she and Demon Lord Xietong been played for fools all these decades? The methods of Master Shouzhe, were they not terrifyingly cunning!

While master and disciple were mumbling to each other.

The once imposing Demon Lord Xietong had already endured several attacks from Transcendent Void Realm Blood Nest Warriors, and even suffered a series of devastating blows while luring monsters. Despite the protection of the Blood Demon Cloak, a demonic artifact, he was really struggling.

Blood spilled from his mouth as he dragged the monsters back to the “treasury’s” entrance like a train, Demon Lord Xietong shouted harshly, “Shadow Snake Demonic Princess, are you and your disciple done yet?”

Inside the refuge, Shadow Snake Demonic Princess’s expression changed unpredictably, clearly shaken.

“Master, we have no way back!” Chimei Demonic Messenger said, clinging onto her master’s legs, her voice filled with despair, “This place was never a treasury to begin with, it’s a refuge for escaping, and apart from some food in the Spatial Storage Cabinet, there’s nothing!”

“If you allow Demon Lord Xietong in, we are all going to die.”

“Bang! Bang!”

At this moment, Demon Lord Xietong also realized something was amiss. While dodging and parrying in desperation, he also managed to strike the treasury’s gate unexpectedly.

Sadly, this treasury was built by the Blood Venerate as a refuge for the apocalypse. Even a True Immortal would struggle to break it down. With Demon Lord Xietong’s strength, bursting it open in a short time was almost impossible.

“This is bad. Something is wrong.”

“Shadow Snake Demonic Princess! What’s happening inside?! Speak up!”

His face dark as thunder, he kept pounding the door to the Blood Color Refuge, still clinging to the last glimmer of hope.

What if Shadow Snake Demonic Princess was just entangled by the mechanisms inside?

What if she came out to open the door for him after a while?

As time passed, the banging from outside grew louder, Demon Lord Xietong’s voice became more and more impatient, and Shadow Snake Demonic Princess’s expression increasingly wavered.

Finally, she clenched her teeth and closed her eyes.

That’s it~ Opening the door now would be a death sentence, by not opening it, although she would certainly face Demon Lord Xietong’s vengeance afterward, there was at least a sliver of chance for survival.

“I’ll take my chances!” Shadow Snake Demonic Princess made up her mind.

Outside the Blood Color Refuge.

As the force assaulting the refuge’s gate grew stronger each time, the gate remained unyielding, Demon Lord Xietong’s face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, his expression increasingly ferocious.

He couldn’t accept it!

He planned for so long, waited for so long, and finally had this rare opportunity within his grasp. To see it slip away at the last moment was unbearable!

However, the gate in front of him was like an insurmountable chasm, and Shadow Snake Demonic Princess, who was supposed to open the door for him from inside, seemed to have vanished without a trace. Despite his unwillingness to accept reality, he understood that something had indeed gone wrong.

“Boom~!”

“Boom boom boom!!”

The continual attacks from three Transcendent Void Realm Blood Nest Warriors surged at him, their powerful force making the entire passage tremble.

Demon Lord Xietong had to struggle against the assault on the Blood Color Refuge’s gate and fend off three Transcendent Void Realm Blood Nest Warriors. Though he wielded a Dao-level item, the ordeal was immensely taxing, his body’s Mysterious Energy depleting like floodgates been thrown open.

In just a short while, his complexion turned even paler, his injuries deepening.

“Damn it! At this rate, not to mention the Sacred Gu Codex, even my incarnation and Dao-level item might be lost here.”

“No choice, retreat!”

Demon Lord Xietong finally made up his mind.

The next moment.

A grotesque and enormous blood-colored phantom suddenly emerged behind him.

Its entire body was submerged in dense blood fog, and through the fog, one could only faintly discern countless twisted and entangled blood limbs, thick veins, and a pair of massive wings that blotted out the sky.

Crimson eyes slowly opened within the fog, a formidable aura spreading out.

In an instant, Demon Lord Xietong’s aura surged explosively.

As his robes billowed, a red gleam flickered in his black eyes. Blood-colored shadows that writhed and wriggled detached from his body, enveloping a terror like no other as they charged at the Blood Nest Warriors.

In a flash.

Bloodlight erupted.

The explosive “rumble” of explosions followed one after another, the shockwaves so massive that the entire passageway shook.

In the blink of an eye, several Purple Abode Realm Blood Nest Warriors were torn apart by the blood shadows, and those nearby Divine Power Stage Blood Nest Warriors were also sent flying, riddled with wounds. Even the three Transcendent Void Realm Blood Nest Warriors were blasted back a dozen steps, their bodies covered in gashes, one even had an arm blown into fragments.
