Chapter 1539: A Returnance Expert Steps In

The blood-red stream tossed and turned, connecting the sky with the ground . It produced an endless rumble, as if countless demonic faces were shrieking and roaring .

The three Receival experts were swallowed by the blood-red stream . They immediately sensed that the mysterious power in the stream was rapidly suppressing their powers . They could not even use half of their power . Thus, they could no longer protect themselves . They bobbed up and down in the rapids, like tiny boats in the vast sea . They were unable to control themselves at all .

In just a short few seconds, the barrier of origin energy around the three experts shattered, exposing their bodies . The blood-like liquid made direct contact with their skin . Their bodies immediately began to dissolve at a visible rate .

Their bodies dissolved in the rapids, becoming a part of the blood-like water . All their flesh and origin energy was turned into the river’s power .

This was an inhumane torture . The three Receival experts all produced chilling shrieks, unable to break free from the stream .

When the three Receival experts were about to pass away, the Returnance elder, who had not taken part in a battle yet, shifted his eyes to the cloud . A gleam of light immediately flashed through his eyes as he murmured with a deep voice, “You’re actually able to force one early and two mid Receival experts into such a state in such a short amount of time with strength at early Receival, and you don’t even seem to be using your full strength . I sure did underestimate you earlier . ” With that, he no longer stood by and finally began to move . He hurled a punch toward the cloud from over ten kilometers away .

The punch shattered space, reducing the area several thousand meters away from him into a pitch black hole . A terrifying energy tore through space, directly colliding with the cloud of blood in the distance .

Boom!

With a deafening boom, the cloud of blood began to violently tremble before rapidly collapsing . In just a few seconds, the entire cloud vanished, revealing Houston, who had remained hidden in it the whole time .

Houston staggered back through the air as he trembled . A smear of paleness appeared on his face . Not only had the punch from the Returnance expert destroyed his cloud, but it had injured him quite a bit as well .

After all, he was only at early Receival . Although he possessed impressive strength due to the Empyrean Demon Arts, able to kill mid Receival experts, he was still not the opponent of a Returnance expert .

As the cloud dispersed, the three Receival experts broke free . They avoided death, but a portion of their bodies had been eaten away by the stream of blood . They looked utterly terrifying . They were bathed in blood with parts of their bodies missing . Even their heads had shrunk in size while their noses and ears had been completely eaten away .

“Go heal up,” the Returnance expert said coldly . His gaze remained fixed on Houston the entire time as an odd light flickered through his eyes .

“Thank you for saving us, elder Zhang!” The three Receival experts no longer lingered around after thanking their benefactor . They all returned to the World of Forsaken Saints through the tunnel .

On the other hand, elder Zhang arrived before Houston . His face was emotionless and cold . He stared at Houston condescendingly and said, “What is the name of your cultivation method, for it to possess such power?”

“The Empyrean Demon Arts!” Houston replied with a heavy voice . His face was extremely stern . An extremely slim spike that was four inches long suddenly appeared in his hand . Soul-devouring Force permeated the spike as he stabbed it at elder Zhang with lightning-like speed .

The cultivation method of the Bloodsword sect was a modified version of the Empyrean Demon Arts . The Baleful Yin Force cultivated by people of the sect was a weakened form of Soul-devouring Force . As a result, Soul-devouring Force obviously possessed the unique characteristics of Baleful Yin Force . It was countless times more powerful Baleful Yin Force .

The elder Zhang was affected by the Soul-devouring Force the moment Houston stabbed out . He became dazed as blankness filled his eyes . However, he was a Returnance expert, who much more powerful than Houston . He recovered in the blink of an eye, but at that time, Houston’s spike had already arrived before his forehead .

Elder Zhang narrowed his eyes . In a crucial moment, he used his hand to catch the spike as he urgently retreated . He dodged the fatal strike, but a bead of blood appeared on his forehead . The spike had pierced his skin, only slightly piercing his skull .

Elder Zhang was covered in cold sweat . The hand he had used to catch the spike bled profusely as well . It had been injured even though it was protected by origin energy .

“A soul attack . This is actually a soul attack! What power did you just use? It actually possesses the ability to influence the soul

” Elder Zhang was no longer able to keep his composure . He questioned Houston in shock .

But his face was soon replaced with joy . Before Houston could answer, he immediately said, “Hand over your cultivation method and I’ll spare you!” Elder Zhang spoke urgently . He was filled with greed . Houston’s cultivation method had piqued his interest very much . He was rather eager to obtain it .

This cultivation method was just far too great . Not only could it allow an early Receival expert to kill two mid Receival and one early Receival expert, but it also possessed the capability of attacking the soul . Even Returnance experts would face the threat of dying if they lost focus .

Houston sneered when he heard that elder Zhang actually wanted his cultivation method, “You sure have some insight . You understand just how extraordinary my cultivation method is, which is why I possess this strength and not because of some secret techniques . However, even if I give you my cultivation method, you have no right to practice it . ” Houston poured some strength into his right hand and snatched the spike back . Elder Zhang originally held the spike in his hand, so as it was recalled, his hand was injured once again . It was covered in blood and almost chopped in half .

Elder Zhang did not seem to sense his injuries at all . He sneered, “Since even you have the right to practice it, I obviously have the right as well . I can only take it myself if you’re not willing to offer it up . Even if the cultivation method isn't on you, I have ways of drawing it out of your soul . It’s just a little harder, but you’ll die for sure . ” Elder Zhang’s eyes glowed with a frightening light . After witnessing the power of the Empyrean Demon Arts, he had decided he would obtain this cultivation method . He then raised his bloody hand and powerful origin energy surged out . He directly sent it toward Houston .

Houston felt no fear at all . His red spike turned into a streak of red light as it stabbed toward elder Zhang . The Soul-devouring Force, which covered the spike, affected elder Zhang’s soul again .

Elder Zhang was now prepared after having experienced the soul attack the first time . The moment Houston stabbed out, he retreated, immediately reappearing over ten kilometers away . He was so far away that the Soul-devouring Force was unable to reach him . At the same time, a sword appeared in his hand, and he stabbed out with it . It tore through space and sent powerful sword Qi toward Houston .

The sword Qi moved just far too quickly, arriving before Houston in the blink of an eye . Moreover, the sword Qi had locked onto Houston’s presence, so he was unable to dodge it . All he could do was forcefully endure it .

This was a powerful strike from a Returnance expert . No matter how impressive Houston’s cultivation method was, his strength still remained at early Receival . He became extremely stern as he faced the terrifying sword Qi . The Soul-devouring Force on the spike became as dense as possible before shooting toward the sword Qi as a dazzling red glow . A thumb-sized orb that was a blood-red color hovered above his head, producing a shroud of red light that enveloped Houston .

Boom!

Houston’s spike collided with the sword Qi and its glow immediately dulled . The clothes on his right arm were torn to shreds before being reduced to dust . The sword Qi from elder Zhang dulled slightly after having been obstructed by the red spike . However, its power still could not be underestimated . Without slowing down at all, it struck the red shroud created by the Empyrean Demon Orb .

The Empyrean Demon Orb was the famed treasure from the greatest Demon Monarch of the Demons’ World, the Empyrean Demon Monarch . It was an extremely powerful demon artifact, but using its true power required an extremely powerful strength as well . Houston could not even use a hundredth of the orb’s power with his strength at early Receival, so the shroud collapsed in just a few short seconds after being struck by the sword Qi . The remaining sword Qi hit Houston’s chest after having made its way through the many obstructions .

Spurt! Houston vomited blood and paled . A vicious slash appeared on his chest, dyeing his coarse clothes red .

“Let me ask you one last time . Will you hand over the Empyrean Demon Arts or not? I will never make it difficult for you if you hand it over, but if you don’t, I can only put in the effort and extract it from your soul . Your soul will also perish during that process . ” Elder Zhang arrived before Houston . He did not hurry to continue the fight . Instead, he asked for the cultivation method again .

He was enraptured by the Empyrean Demon Arts .
