Chapter 486: Expansion of the Land of the Dead, the Old Demon Witch Loses Her Temper!_2

Accompanying the appearance of the red fog, the entire city was filled with an extremely dense smell of blood.
"What is this?"
"What a thick smell of blood?"
"Is this blood fog? Could there be demonic spirits in the city?"
"Ugh, why do I feel weak and powerless? Could these red fogs be draining life force?"
"Damn it! These blood fogs have sealed off the space within the city!"
"Ah! Help, there are evil ghosts in the blood fog!"
...
In an instant, the blood fog rose and transformed into a gigantic Blood Lake, engulfing the entire Tianxiang City.
Amidst the dense smell of blood, there emanated an aura of death.
Countless demon souls flew out from the Blood Lake, wreaking havoc throughout the city.
With the appearance of billions of demon souls, an endless ghost fiend covered the skies over the entire city.
At this moment, space was completely sealed off, and unless you possess a Seventh Grade Sanctum artifact or treasure, breaking through the space to escape would be as difficult as ascending to the heavens.
Under Mo Yi's control, the billions of demon souls went directly to the barracks and the military stationed on the city walls.
The slaughter began madly at this moment.
Nearly thirty thousand Fifth Tier demon souls formed into over thirty teams and started hunting the city's Fifth Tier epics.
Especially the Fifth Tier powerhouses from the government and military, who were prioritized for hunting, followed by those from noble clans and families.
A Peak of Sixth Tier orc demon soul appeared outside a manor of a noble family in just a few flashes.
With its violent power and terrifying aura, it pressed directly upon the manor, targeting the old and nearing-decay Sixth Tier legendary within.
The demon soul Array Master brought five thousand Fifth Tier demon souls to the City Lord's Mansion, relying on the power of the Blood Lake to set up a corrosive blood formation.
The accumulated blood in the Blood Lake was transformed into a highly corrosive poisonous blood by the formation set by five thousand demon souls.
The entire City Lord's Mansion was enveloped, starting to erode from the outside.
Even though the protective barrier of the City Lord's Mansion was activated, it continuously corroded before the poisonous blood.
The barrier flickered brilliantly, rapidly consuming the protective barrier's energy.
The entire barrier was covered with poisonous blood, being corroded in every aspect, causing extreme energy depletion and the inability to replenish as fast as it was consumed.
Even when officials inside the City Lord's Mansion contributed their power to infuse energy into the barrier, they could not prevent the fate of holes being corroded through by the poisonous blood.
In contrast, the subjects and alien races in Tianxiang City, as long as they did not resist the invasion of the Blood Lake and death aura, faced no trouble from the demon souls.
Of course, places like Ziyun Pavilion and some noble families or powerful houses had already activated their pre-prepared protective formations or barriers.
These places, unless marked by a specific person, were all targets for attacks.
To guard against the invasion of demon souls, any defense with formations or barrier defenses was certainly not the subjects or alien races.
Subjects did not have the ability to arrange protective formations or barriers in a place like Tianxiang City, as such things required significant materials to complete.
Alien races were not allowed to establish bases within Tianxiang City, which was a measure of restriction and suppression against them.
With targets in place, the thirty plus Fifth Tier demon soul armies immediately began attacking places that had activated protective barriers or formations.
First, kill them before considering anything else!
The Blood Lake covered the entire city, and the ghost fiend shrouded the sky and city, even extending ten kilometers outside.
"The power of the Blood River Demon Soul Formation is growing ever stronger; however, wanting to ascend to the Seventh Grade Sanctum requires at least eighty-one Sixth Tier demon souls, a bit difficult to gather just from the first layer of the Sea of Realms."
Although Mo Yi has reached the Peak of Sixth Tier, her main means of output is the release of her Life-bound Grand Array.
The Blood River Demon Soul Formation absorbed billions of life forms, including nearly thirty-five thousand epics and even a legendary orc demon soul.
Yet at the top level of combat power, it still slightly falls short.
The Sixth Tier peak of the legendary orc demon soul seems powerful, but in reality, it's a bit weaker compared to those of the same tier and level.
However, with the demon soul Array Master, she can control and condense the Ghost King phantom and use secret techniques to produce three-claws ghost dragons.
Mo Yi can now suppress two Sixth Tier peak Legendary Lords alone, trapping rather than letting them escape, confining them within the grand array.
To strengthen her power, Zi Liyuan will naturally help her collect Sixth Tier spirits.
But these things are hard to come by.
In the Wild Boar Skin Dynasty, the number of Sixth Tier legendary lords on the surface can be counted on two hands.
As for those hidden by great forces, noble clans, or royal families, there should be no more than twenty.
That means, of the eighty-one Sixth Tier demon souls needed now, only one has been completed, requiring eighty more to be gathered.
Currently, Zi Liyuan holds five legendary orc spirits, yet to be rebirthed and revived.
This was only achieved after dismantling the beast clan's stronghold and decimating the army, not exceeding ten legendary orcs in total.
In other words, even if all legendaries of the Wild Boar Skin Dynasty were tied up, eighty wouldn't be enough.
"The Nagas have at least five legendaries; we could consider taking them out next."
Touching his chin, Zi Liyuan's eyes once again pierced through the floor, gazing at the legendary laying flat in hiding in the underground chamber.
Not even reaching the Peak of Sixth Tier legendary, such existence, as a sacrifice, was just right, using the rebirth skill would waste resources and materials.
Zi Liyuan's malicious gaze sent a chill down the back of the flat-lying legendary. Your journey continues with My Virtual Library Empire
At this moment, the city defense army had already suffered severe casualties.
Compared to the others, the troops stationed on the four walls were exposed without any protective barriers, directly in sight of the billions of demon souls.
The endless demon souls ravaged the city walls, leaving behind only remnants of broken limbs and corpses where they passed.
The soldiers of third and fourth tier had almost no defense against the massive invasion of demon souls.
They were torn apart and devoured almost instantly upon contact, their souls forcibly dragged and merged into the Blood Lake, eventually assimilated into new demon souls.
Conversely, the Fifth Tier generals could resist for a while longer, yet they had no means to break out, forced into defense until their blood was completely drained and their spirits extracted to death.
Under Mo Yi's control, any Fifth Tier epic would be preserved relatively intact by the demon souls.
After all, to become a Fifth Tier existence, there must be a significant amount of materials and resources stored within their space columns.
Bringing back a complete corpse means all items within their space columns can be retrieved using tools.
Note that a normal Fifth Tier epic is usually a lord with a Lord's Mansion, even if fallen from grace, they surely have some good things in hand.
Having been with Zi Liyuan for so long, preserving the integrity of a corpse and packing it up has become an instinct.
It can only be said, that pervert Death Lord is truly corruptive to others.
Screams, wails, and pleas for mercy… a myriad of sounds resounded throughout Tianxiang City.
One hundred thousand city defense troops were completely annihilated within just two hours under the hunting of demon souls.
However, the Fifth Tier epics in Tianxiang City, although heavily injured and dead, still hold on.
The strongest battleground in the city was in the eastern region, where the noble families reside.
An aging Sixth Tier legendary, nearing his demise, fought against a Peak of Sixth Tier orc demon soul.
Each side's attacks were lethal, with the slightest mistake potentially leading to severe injury.
Yet, overall, the orc demon soul held the upper hand.
At least as a legendary orc demon soul, it adopted a desperate stance, trading injury for injury, relentlessly attacking.
Whereas the aging Sixth Tier Lord, although indifferent to life and death, didn't wish to unleash his power entirely, immediately leading to his own demise.
Especially after noticing the undead-like nature of demon souls.
Defeated demon souls could be resurrected through the Blood Lake, squeezing out what little life left would indeed be folly.
Thus, avoiding desperate measures when possible, he had no desire to die immediately.
