A hand, twice the size of a normal person and covered in rotting flesh, rested on the edge of the coffin. The pool of blood surged wildly as if heated and boiled by flames, and a huge figure slowly stood up.
The Crimson Demon King's figure and appearance were similar to those of ordinary people, but he was much larger than them. His face was ferocious, and his skin was stiff and covered with a lot of corpse spots. His red eyes and the single eye on his forehead stared intently at Zhao Ling'er beside Xu Le, and he said with disgust, "A repulsive aura!"
As soon as she finished speaking, a burst of flames descended, but was blocked by Zhao Ling'er's water sphere.
"Interesting! Try my Flying Rock Spell!"
The gravel trembled incessantly, with sharp points flying out like arrows.
With a casual wave of his hand, Xu Le crushed it with invisible psychic power, which then intertwined to form hundreds of blades that pierced through the Red Demon King's body.
"Ahhh!"
The Crimson Demon King's body instantly shattered into fragments and fell into the pool, but Xu Le could still sense that his aura had not disappeared.
As expected, the blood pool churned and slowly coalesced into the form of the Crimson Demon King. The Crimson Demon King reappeared with a ferocious expression, looking at Xu Le with fear in his eyes, and shouted: "Where are my children!"
The sound echoed in the cave, the stone walls began to tremble, fine dust fell, and the entire underground chamber trembled slightly. From one side of the passage, dozens of zombies and flying heads roared and charged forward.
Knock knock knock!
The dull footsteps sounded, and a skeletal general clad in armor emerged from the cave, holding a weapon. A ghostly fire burned in his empty eyes. After looking around for a moment, he fixed his gaze on Xu Le and Zhao Ling'er, who exuded the aura of living people, and made a sound by striking his upper and lower jaws, as if he were laughing.

"You think you're the only one who knows how to call on subordinates?"
Xu Le's gaze was playful. As his words fell, a large number of shadows gathered, and dozens of winged warriors glided at low altitude, knocking down the flying head in the sky, slamming it to the ground several times, and killing it completely.
"Roar roar roar!"
The slowly moving zombies were blocked in their way, and dozens of shadow warriors charged forward with swords. Although the zombies' bodies were as hard as iron, the long swords in the shadow warriors' hands were no ordinary objects. They were formed from the convergence of shadow energy and were not comparable to ordinary iron.
Ding ding ding!
The longsword struck the zombies, producing a metallic clang and sparks flying. Although it didn't cleave them apart, it blocked their path. The zombies' attacks were more of a terrifying contagion, but they had no effect on the shadow warrior, who had no physical body and was composed of shadows.
Several shadow warriors worked together to surround a zombie and easily killed it.
Thump!
With a loud crash, the skeleton soldier fell to the ground, and several troll warriors swarmed up and broke its white bones.
The Red Demon King watched as his forces were easily defeated by the Shadow Warriors. Although they were no match for each other individually, their combined strength was more than double.
The Crimson Demon King stirred up waves of blood, stood in the center of the blood pool, and began to cast a spell, chanting the incantation: "Five Thunder Spell!"
Rumble!
Several bolts of lightning suddenly appeared out of nowhere in the damp underground chamber and struck Xu Le, but were blocked by the egg-shaped psychic shield in front of him.
"I didn't expect this guy to actually be able to use the Five Thunder Spell, just like described in the backstory. So, he can also use the Samadhi True Fire!"
As Xu Le pondered for a moment, the Crimson Demon King's three eyes emitted a crimson light, carrying a hint of madness, and a fire serpent condensed in the void.
The temperature in the underground chamber rose rapidly, as if one were in an oven, with terrifying flames stealing large amounts of oxygen for combustion.
Xu Le frowned slightly. The Crimson Ghost King had the Blood Pool as a source of sustenance. With his own Blood Demon Divine Art, as long as the Blood Pool remained intact, he would be immortal.
"To kill the Blood Demon, you must first destroy the Blood Pool!"
The jade Buddhist beads in Zhao Ling'er's palm suddenly cried out, attracting the attention of the Blood Demon, who angrily rebuked, "Well, so that's how they found me here. It was you, Jade Buddhist Beads, who caused this trouble. You cultivate your Buddhist practice, and I cultivate my demonic practice. We kept to ourselves, but I never expected you to come and harm me!"
The jade prayer beads paused for a moment, then retorted, "Demons and heretics are to be killed by everyone!"
The Blood Demon also possesses the strength to return to the Void, and coupled with its immortality, even experts at the Dao Integration Realm have no interest in fighting it. However, after destroying the Blood Pool, Xu Le could easily crush it with his own strength.
Xu Le mobilized all his true energy, transforming his palm into a blade and slashing downwards. His true energy surged, and the dozens of meters long true energy blade suddenly cleaved down.
The Crimson Demon King saw through Xu Le's intentions, but his three eyes darted around without any sign of tension. A yellowish-brown light emanated from his chest, forming a protective shield that blocked the blade's edge.
"Earth Spirit Orb!"
Xu Le's eyes were greedy as he sensed the rich earth aura emanating from the Crimson Ghost King's chest. Not only was the quantity enormous, but it also carried a large number of fragments of laws. Once integrated into his inner world, it would undoubtedly bring him an opportunity for advancement.
In the world's setting, there are two origins of the Five Elemental Pearls. One is that the Three Sovereigns used the power of the five elements between heaven and earth to bind the heaven and earth. Later, the earth tended to collapse due to excessive consumption of spiritual power. The Three Sovereigns returned the Five Elemental Pearls to the earth veins to maintain the earth's form (i.e., they have been eliminated). The second is that the five-colored stones left behind by Nuwa when she mended the sky absorbed the power of the five elements and were formed. They are the strongest power in the human world.
Xu Le preferred the first one, which was formed from the condensation of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and was filled with powerful energy and fragments of laws after countless years of accumulation.
However, Xu Le's gaze fell upon the earthen-yellow barrier. The earth's profound aura descended, transforming into unparalleled defensive power. The current Crimson Ghost King was somewhat different from the original story; he seemed to be able to use the Earth Spirit Orb in its early stages, and his intelligence was considerably higher than in the original work.
However, while others might have a headache, Xu Le had a descendant of Nuwa by his side. Sensing Xu Le's gaze, Zhao Ling'er understood immediately. In the past few days, she had learned her identity—a descendant of Nuwa.
Therefore, she accepted her identity with equanimity and, with Xu Le's help, gradually mastered the power of the earth god and the power of creation within her heart.
Seven-colored divine light shone brightly, and Zhao Ling'er's figure slowly changed, transforming into a human-headed snake. At this moment, she also saw the wronged souls in the blood mist, and the kind-hearted girl couldn't help but radiate divine light.
Divine light permeated the blood mist, dispelling the resentment within. All the souls slowly regained their reason, bowed to Zhao Ling'er from afar, and then rushed into the Crimson Ghost King's body like a meteor shower.
"You lowly creatures, get out of here!"
Disturbed by these souls, the Crimson Demon King slightly divided his body. Zhao Ling'er took the opportunity to use a wisp of the power of creation to break through the protective barrier. Xu Le disappeared from his original spot and appeared above the Crimson Demon King. He clasped his hands together and slammed them down, knocking the Blood Demon into the bottom of the blood pool.
Two phantom figures appeared behind him: a galloping golden steed and a soaring dragon, intertwining in the void.
