As Mo Shuying stepped into the Crimson Pillar, his vision was consumed by red. There was no other color to be seen.
Around him, countless evil spirits seemed to wail. It was a scene straight out of a Mountain of Corpses, Sea of Blood, a true Asura's hell.
"Master!"
Qing Nü's body glowed, trying to shield herself from the encroaching blood mist, but the mist was too dense. Her demonic power wouldn't last long against it.
At this moment, Qing Nü felt a sudden pang of relief. She was glad she hadn't tried so hard to collect Soul Blood before. Otherwise, she might have already been corrupted by this blood mist, turned into a mindless, bloodthirsty monster.
"Come closer to me."
Mo Shuying spoke, and Qing Nü obediently moved behind him.
Mo Shuying stepped on the ground beneath his feet. It was soft, as if filled with flesh and blood. In terms of area, it was larger than any Secret Realm Fragment space Mo Shuying had encountered before.
"This space is a bit too big," Mo Shuying muttered, frowning. He thought about it. He only had two Judas' Kisses left. He wasn't sure if they would be enough to destroy this space.
"Let's try anyway."
There was no point in overthinking it. Mo Shuying immediately took out his last two Judas' Kisses. After activating them, he threw them with force. The two spherical objects were plunged into the blood mist and landed at the edge of the pillar. Then...
*BOOM! BOOM!*
Two terrifying explosions rang out, startling Qing Nü so much that her face turned pale! She covered her ears, afraid to look up, and inwardly rejoiced that she had surrendered early. Otherwise, that blast would have completely disintegrated her.
After the explosion, Mo Shuying felt the ground beneath him shake violently. Looking at the point of impact, the surrounding Soul Blood had been cleared, but a large amount of Soul Blood was rapidly refilling the area. As for the inner wall of the pillar! A massive crack had appeared, a very large crack! Inside, countless chaotic energies continuously collided, exploding into various colors of light, but the pillar did not collapse or stop despite this damage.
"Still not enough. Let's try this."
Mo Shuying's aura shifted, imbued with a hint of Magecraft.
A red Philosopher's Stone appeared in Mo Shuying's palm. He inscribed a simple explosion array onto one of them, then wrapped the entire handful of Philosopher's Stones together. He activated the Philosopher's Stone with the explosion array and threw the whole bundle directly at the broken inner wall!
This time, the Philosopher's Stones were directly thrown into that chaotic void. Countless energies pressed in! But then they encountered the internal explosion of the Philosopher's Stones! Instantly!
*RUMBLE!*
The entire pillar vibrated, countless cracks appeared on its inner wall, and a massive gap emerged! Suddenly, a powerful suction force surged from the gap, beginning to absorb everything around it!
"Ah!"
Qing Nü, being light and nimble, was caught by this suction and was suddenly pulled flying.
Fortunately, Mo Shuying was quick-witted, grabbing Qing Nü's ankle and pulling her back.
This was where weight proved important; at a time like this, being heavier clearly offered an advantage.
The suction continued to intensify, and the damage to the pillar's inner wall expanded rapidly. In a matter of seconds, a quarter of the Soul Blood inside the pillar had vanished!
Outside, the Two-Tone Haired Man felt the Blood Realm orb in his hand tremble! His expression also changed abruptly!
"That guy!!"
The smile on the Two-Tone Haired Man's face quickly faded. He sped up his previous operation, and inside the pillar, portals silently opened one after another.
*BOOM!*
A large amount of blood mist surged from these portals, replenishing the consumption of the pillar. The pillar's cracks immediately slowed, and some small cracks began to repair themselves.
"Roar!"
Furthermore, numerous yokai entered this pillar through these portals. They all had only one target!
That was Mo Shuying!
"Roar!"
A large number of demonic beasts surged out from the opened portals, rushing towards Mo Shuying without regard for anything else.
There were many of them; the first wave was a dense swarm, at least several hundred.
But Mo Shuying simply raised his hand and threw another handful of red Philosopher's Stones. They quickly fell into the chaotic zone, in just the blink of an eye.
*BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!*
The Philosopher's Stones exploded due to the energy impact of the chaotic zone, and the violent explosion once again tore open the crack in the pillar's inner wall! The crack, which had shown signs of repairing, widened again! Instantly, the suction force magnified several times! The yokai that had been rushing forward were suddenly pulled back, flying backward into the crack, and then ground into dust!
"It's going to shatter! Qing Nü! Open the gate and let's get out of here!"
Mo Shuying grabbed Qing Nü by the waist, shielding her in front of him. He needed her to get out, after all.
Qing Nü nodded quickly. While being protected by Mo Shuying was somewhat thrilling, she understood what was most important right now!
"Go!"
Qing Nü formed hand seals, and a slightly distorted glowing gate appeared inside the pillar.
Mo Shuying frowned, looking at the unreliable gate, but then a violent collapsing sound came from above. The upper half of the pillar snapped directly in the middle, and the pillar's space began to collapse!
"Go!"
At a time like this, Mo Shuying couldn't afford to hesitate or overthink. He wrapped his arm around Qing Nü and rushed directly towards the distorted gate, leaping through it. His vision was still completely red!
"Hmm?"
Mo Shuying was momentarily stunned, at first thinking he hadn't made it out.
But then Mo Shuying understood—this was the world outside the pillar of light!
*BOOM!!*
Just like its interior, this pillar of light was being destroyed from the inside out. Cracks covered its entire surface before it finally shattered!
*CRACK!*
As the pillar of light shattered, the crimson light barrier above it also began to break apart and fade.
The powerful Blood Realm that enveloped all of Nihon had failed to complete its final transformation after two changes in ownership. The first time was due to insufficient energy, but the second time was far more thorough; its foundation had been destroyed. Restoring it again wouldn't be so simple.
"No!"
The Two-Tone Haired Man gripped the orb of light, letting out an enraged roar! Staring at the collapsing pillar and the dissipating Boundary Field, he felt as though all his years of planning had been ruined!
Naturally, this outcome infuriated the man. With a grimace, the orb of light in his hand burst forth with intense radiance! He forcefully drew upon all the remaining blood energy within the Boundary Field, rapidly channeling it into several yokai! This helped these yokai undergo rapid transformations!
In just two breaths' time.
"ROAR!!"
A dozen massive, accelerated yokai emerged, charging with a furious aura towards Shuten Doji and Tomoe Gozen.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
Tomoe Gozen was still firing arrows, but against these new yokai, her arrows were slightly less effective. When her arrows struck the yokai, they exploded, but only created small bloody pits that were merely superficial wounds to the creatures.
"Damn it!!"
Low on Mana, Tomoe Gozen couldn't even remember how many arrows she had fired. Though the battle had only lasted two minutes, the consumption was immense.
"ROAR!!"
Suddenly, a frog-like yokai leaped over, shrugging off a fire arrow. Its mouth opened, and a long, slimy tongue shot out! The tongue lashed out at Tomoe Gozen. She tried to dodge, but her legs gave out, and her strength failed her!
