Baby with Daoist Monarch System-Chapter 497 - 190: Sacrifice After Sacrifice (Part 2)
"Boom!"
A loud noise erupted, dust swirling around the Dao Heart Demon.
Just as the five were about to approach the Dao Heart Demon.
In an instant, it was as if they suddenly shut down, falling from the sky.
The next moment.
"Bang~"
"Bang~"
"Bang~"
"Bang~"
"Bang~"
Five explosions sounded.
The Five Elders of the Celestial Summit Pavilion instantly turned into a cloud of blood mist, dispersing in the air.
Thus, the Five Elders of the Celestial Summit Pavilion completely fell.
When Xu Ran saw this scene, his eyes reddened, veins bulging on his forehead, fists clenched tightly.
Even though his heart was filled with rage, he still forced himself to calm down.
Carefully contemplating everything that had just happened.
But soon, his thoughts seemed uncontrollable, recalling every little memory with the Five Elders of the Celestial Summit Pavilion.
Since Xu Ran’s rise to fame, it seemed the Celestial Summit Pavilion entrusted everything to him.
Yet, the help the Five Elders provided was beyond imagination.
They were like five kind and approachable elders, providing unconditional support.
When he saw the Five Elders turn into blood mist before him, his heart was filled with immense pain.
The Dao Heart Demon saw this and said, "Don’t worry, this is not over!" 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
"You will see plenty of such scenes next!"
As the Dao Heart Demon’s voice fell.
Six more people emerged from the Seventh Safe Zone.
They were from the current class of Xu Ran, the Godslaying Squad that ranked second only to the "Miracle" Squad.
The leader was none other than the Mirror Image Venerable, Qin Yi Hou.
Beside him were Huo Yuan of the Purifying Thousand Thunders, Chi Mengli of the Microcosmic Elements, Bai Feng of the Eight-armed Nascent Soul, Hu Die of Life and Death in One Dream, and Chang Jun of the Godslaying Armor.
Seeing these old friends, Xu Ran froze, memories flooding uncontrollably once more.
In an instant, memories of taking classes at the Demigod Kindergarten rushed into his mind.
He still remembered, when they first met, Xu Ran challenged them all, knocking down every contender.
It was because of this, he earned the title of "Strongest Infant" and acquired the Red Gold Root Bone.
Back then, they were just weaklings with only tens of thousands of Qi Blood Value.
Now, each of them had grown their cultivation to the Yue Realm, with Qi Blood Cultivation reaching three million.
Before leaving, Xu Ran even gifted them the most suitable divine-level treasures.
Having absorbed spirit medicine and divine-level treasures, they had long been able to stand on their own.
"If not for me, they would soon have been able to reach the divine level!"
Suddenly, even Xu Ran himself didn’t know why he said such words.
But the next moment, the movements of the Mirror Image Squad caught his attention.
The leader of the Mirror Image Squad, Qin Yi Hou, clad in a white trench coat battle robe, showed absolute determination on his refined face.
The next moment, all six of them unleashed their Root Bone, with three million Qi Blood bursting forth.
Beside Qin Yi Hou, a gray figure identical to Xu Ran stood, her Mirror Image Venerable.
When Qin Yi Hou first fought Xu Ran, she copied him exactly.
Seeing someone identical to Xu Ran appear, the Dao Heart Demon showed a hint of surprise.
"I didn’t expect someone could replicate you; such a Root Bone is incredibly strong!"
"But sadly, they are about to die now!"
With that, the Mirror Image Squad was yet to act.
Screams echoed in their ears.
The next moment, they fell to the ground, bleeding from all seven orifices, their bodies exploding from the inside, dispersing blood mist in the air, eventually falling to the ground.
At this moment, within the Safe Zone, were all powerful cultivators at the Yue Realm.
Every Yue Realm cultivator had survived numerous battles to achieve their cultivation level.
But even so, their inability to resist death still filled us with fear.
Everyone’s forehead unknowingly broke out in cold sweat, hands trembling continuously, every cell in their body attesting to the terror of the Dao Heart Demon.
Xu Ran stood before the transparent cage, eyes fixed on where the Mirror Image Squad turned into blood mist, hands clenched tightly, fingernails digging into his palms, drawing blood.
But shortly, Xu Ran closed his eyes again, calming his agitated heart.
He knew his task was to quickly unlock this bizarre space.
As long as he could escape successfully, everything could still be salvaged.
Seeing this, the Dao Heart Demon continued mocking, "Haha, what is this? A last-minute rush to save yourself?"
"You couldn’t escape even given sixty days before; even with another sixty, you wouldn’t make it!"
"Embrace destiny, open your eyes, take a good look at them for the last time!"
Xu Ran ignored the Dao Heart Demon’s words, continuing to ponder how to break through this bizarre space.
As he spoke.
Two more squads emerged.
"Another two death-fearing Godslaying Squads have come out!"
At this moment, with closed eyes, Xu Ran’s heart seemed controlled, strangely wanting to open his eyes, to see clearly who came out.
In the end, Xu Ran couldn’t resist, his eyes opening a sliver.
It was through this slit he saw the people emerging.
The Fire Prison Godslaying Squad and the Soul Suppressing Godslaying Squad.
These two Godslaying Squads were the first Godslaying Squads Xu Ran had known.
Moreover, it was through his guardian, Ye Ping, that he met them.
When he first ventured out for training, he encountered them, and it was through them he learned much about the alien battlefield.
Thanks to their guidance, he grew rapidly.
Back then, when facing the Unconfident Celestial Calamity, it was because of them that he found a way to break through from a sliver of opportunity.
Later on, as Xu Ran’s cultivation surpassed that of the Fire Prison Godslaying Squad and the Soul Suppressing Godslaying Squad, their help to him lessened.
But every time Xu Ran finished training and returned to Blue Star, after seeing them, he always had the same words on his lips.
"With you around, we can retire early!"
It was because of these cherished sentiments that Xu Ran worked even harder to cultivate.
But now.
He still hadn’t fulfilled his promise to the two squads—early retirement.
Instead, because of himself, he had doomed them here.
The Fire Prison Godslaying Squad and the Soul Suppressing Godslaying Squad stepped out of the safe zone, each with an expression of facing death.
Their expressions were deeply etched into Xu Ran’s mind, lingering forever.
The Dao Heart Demon saw this and spoke, "If you want to see them, just look, don’t say I’m cruel, I’ll give you one last chance to see them!"
Upon hearing this, Xu Ran couldn’t hold back any longer, his eyes opened, staring motionlessly at the Fire Prison Godslaying Squad and the Soul Suppressing Godslaying Squad.
"Alright, you’ve seen them for the last time, it’s time to be on your way!"
With that.
The Dao Heart Demon in the sky emitted black gas, enveloping the two Godslaying Squads.
At the same time, a "ka-ka-ka~" sound came.
It sounded as if a beast was eating.
Soon, the black mist dispersed.
There were just fourteen skeletons scattered on the ground.
"Hmm, the flesh of Yue Realm cultivators tastes delicious!"
Saying this, a lip-smacking sound came too.
At this moment, Xu Ran, after multiple blows, was already somewhat numb inside.
All he wanted now was to get out and tear the Dao Heart Demon to pieces.
He even thought about entering the Alien Star Passage, reaching the Exotic Star, and destroying everything related to it.
Unknowingly, Xu Ran’s emotions seemed controlled by the Dao Heart Demon.
"I will definitely get out! I will make you feel all the pain in the world! I definitely will!"
Xu Ran vowed through gritted teeth.
The Dao Heart Demon truly didn’t care.
"Haha, I’ll be waiting for you, if you can get out that is!"
"But now, I’ll first let you experience all the pain in the world!"
With that, the Dao Heart Demon’s hoarse laughter echoed in Xu Ran’s heart, like a demon’s voice in his ears, lingering incessantly.
"Heh."
Xu Ran’s eyes filled with coldness as he punched the cage, ripples surging through it!
His body also emitted a faint glow.
Not long after.
Xu Ran’s heart felt a light sense of purification, as if it had been cleansed.
