C2746 A Rain of Blood
"Pop, pop, pop..."
The rain was getting heavier and heavier, hitting the surface of the lake. It dyed the originally clear lake water into a blood-red ocean, and the heavens and the earth were also covered in a layer of blood that could not be dissolved. It revealed indescribable terror and strangeness.
At first, the range of the blood rain only covered the entire Heart Moon Lake. However, as time passed, the range of the spreading of the blood devil cloud began to gradually increase, extending for several kilometers.
Even the extremely tenacious Ghost Wood was unable to withstand the erosion of the blood rain. It actually began to wither unceasingly. As for the dense ordinary shrubs, they instantly turned into a pool of blood.
The fertile land was also gradually corroded into a bloody marshland. The rich smell of blood mixed with the rotten stench continued to spread, making people involuntarily pinch their noses.
"Gulp, gulp, gulp..."
The Heart Moon Lake had completely turned into a sea of blood. There seemed to be some kind of enormous creature moving at the bottom of the lake. The huge blood red bubbles kept rolling up from different directions. In the distance, it looked like a boiling lava pool.
From time to time, disgusting limbs and broken limbs drifted out of the Heart Moon Lake. Those were the corpses of hundreds of thousands of Sea Demon soldiers who had stepped into the water with the Heavenly Demon hall master.
No one knew what had happened at the bottom of the lake, but judging from the shocking, incomplete corpses, they must have been attacked by extremely ferocious beasts.
At this moment, the Heart Moon Lake had already become a dense sea of blood. It was completely impossible to tell whether it was dyed by the blood rain or by the fresh blood of the Sea Demon soldiers.
"Monster, there's a monster at the bottom of the lake..."
Among the hundreds of thousands of Sea Demon Warriors, there were still some survivors. They floated out of the water as if they had gone crazy. Their eyes were filled with indescribable fear, as if they had seen some kind of terrifying monster at the bottom of the lake.
These people desperately wanted to swim ashore. The closest distance to the shore was less than a hundred meters, but this seemingly short distance of a hundred meters was an insurmountable chasm.
"Rip..."
As soon as the survivors came out of the water, the poisonous blood rain mercilessly slapped their faces. The strong corrosive and toxicity instantly caused their skin to rot and fester. The intense pain made them unable to continue swimming. Miserable wails burst out from their mouths.
A huge black shadow was slowly approaching the struggling survivors at the bottom of the lake. The size of the black shadow was unbelievable. It was like a small island was approaching. The terrifying pressure made people feel despair.
"Putong!"
A huge mouth of the abyss suddenly jumped out of the water and swallowed the thousands of survivors who were still struggling on the surface of the lake. The attack was as fast as a black lightning bolt and the violent storm was like a bloody barrier. It made people unable to see the real face of the black shadow.
Everyone was able to roughly determine that this should be a huge snake. It possessed a shockingly huge body like a mountain. However, it was precisely this kind of unknown fear that was truly terrifying...
"Gulp..."
Empress Chao Ge and the Nine-Colored Dragon King had already gathered together. However, when they saw this terrifying scene, they could not help but gulp.
The other Sacred Dragon Warriors and Tidal Warriors could not help but look at each other in dismay. The morale that they had just built up had already disappeared without a trace before this overwhelming and terrifying Demon Beast.
Everyone could not bear to see their brothers who had fought side by side die so mysteriously. However, they did not dare to act rashly in the face of such a peerless ferocious beast.
If they charged into Heart Moon Lake without caring about anything else, it would be nothing more than adding a few more vengeful souls. It would not have any substantial effect at all.
"If I'm not wrong, it should be Orochi..." Empress Chao Ge's expression was solemn as she spoke in a deep voice.
"I never thought that Orochi would be hiding in the Heart Moon Lake. This is really troublesome." The Nine-Colored Dragon King's gaze was distant as he spoke with a solemn expression.
"Brother Wang, I don't know when you will arrive. If not, I'm afraid you can only use the Sea God's Trident. I can't just watch the Heavenly Demon hall master die in this damn place. " Empress Chao Ge gripped the Sea God's Trident tightly, as if she had made up her mind.
"Don't be rash... Young Master said that the Sea God's Trident is the last resort. You can't use it unless absolutely necessary. Let me go!"
The Nine-Colored Dragon King didn't give Queen Chao Ge a chance to argue. He turned into the true form of the Demon Beast and rushed into the storm of blood.
"Sssss... Sssss..."
Half of his body entered the rain of blood. The rain of blood that represented decay and death made the Nine-Colored Jade Rainbow Dragon unable to withstand it. The dragon scales were unable to resist the erosion of the rain of blood, exposing its bright red flesh.0
It was hard to imagine what kind of intense pain the Nine-Colored Dragon King was experiencing. However, she forcefully endured it and did not make any sound. She was even prepared to completely immerse her entire body into the blood rain.
"Do you not want your life anymore?"
At the critical moment, an anxious and furious cry was heard. Then, several black nether strips suddenly tied up the Nine-Colored Dragon King's tail. They forcefully pulled back the Nine-Colored Jade Rainbow Dragon, which had half its body extended into the blood rain.
The newcomer was none other than the Netherheaven hall master that had arrived in time. After forcefully pulling the Nine-Colored Dragon King back, he immediately walked towards the Heart Moon Lake with a solemn expression. He said in a deep voice, "The Heavenly Demon is this king's husband. It's not your turn to save him!"
However, before the Netherheaven hall master could step into the blood rain, the Nine-Colored Dragon King forcefully struck out a palm and repelled the Netherheaven hall master. He frowned and said, "There are only comrades on the battlefield and no husband and wife. Don't tell me you think this king is afraid of death!"
The reason the Nine-Colored Dragon King did this was because it wanted to protect the Skydark hall master. As a half-step legendary True Dragon Demon Beast, its physical body was much stronger than the Skydark Nine Head Bug.
Even it couldn't withstand the erosion of the blood rain, let alone the Skydark hall master. It was likely that the Skydark hall master would be corroded until only bones remained before it even got close to the Heart Moon Lake.
"What time is this? The two of you are still in the mood for internal strife. No matter what, the Heavenly Demon hall master is still a half-step legendary realm Demon Beast. Even if it isn't a match for Orochi, it is still a half-step legendary realm Demon Beast. I don't think it will die so quietly. Things are not that bad yet! " Empress Chao Ge reprimanded with a serious expression.
"Hualala..."
As soon as she finished speaking, massive waves suddenly appeared on the relatively calm surface of the blood-red lake. A black figure that looked like a lone island leaped out of the water. It was the Heavenly Demon hall master that had transformed into the true body of the ancient Heavenly Demon Kun!
The Ancient Heavenly Demon Kun seemed to have received some sort of shock. After fleeing from the blood lake, it desperately tried to fly back to the shore. However, a massive black snake that was even larger than its body suddenly stretched out of the water's surface. It opened its bloody mouth and firmly bit the Ancient Heavenly Demon Kun's abdomen.
