Chapter 266 – Demonic Path Catastrophe

In a palace deep underground . The walls and floor were formed of stone, filled with a dense layer of lines that wove together into a formidable demonic array . A faint hum filled the air as it revolved . In the center of the palace, there was a small pond, around a hundred feet in size . The pond overflowed with blood, the thick red liquid tumbling and bubbling up and releasing its rank smell into the air .

The Demon Monarch sat cross-legged deep within the blood pond, entirely naked . His long hair surged along with the waves of blood . Lines crawled along the surface of his body, and if one looked carefully they would discover that these patterns were completely similar to the ones engraved upon the walls . It was like he was borrowing the strength of this blood pond and the array formation to duplicate these markings onto his body .

Suddenly, the Demon Monarch’s eyes flashed open . His crimson eyes were filled with endless pain . As if sensing something occurring to the Heavenly Demon Array, the cruelty in his eyes became increasingly violent .

He had lost at Immortal Eclipse Valley and ended up being chased down by Qin Yu and severely wounded . It was a painful experience, one he learned from . Because of that, he had hardened his resolve to use the Demonic Path’s inherited blood pond to duplicate the secret runes of the Demonic Path onto his body, and forcefully step into the Divine Soul realm . He never imagined that Qin Yu would dare invade the High Command at this time . In this critical moment, if he were to fall short of his goal and suffer a backlash then he would surely die .

The Demon Monarch lifted his hand and a sphere appeared in his palm . It seemed to possess an invisible power as the surrounding blood water was forced away from it . The sphere was the size of a fist, black all over, and shined with an iridescent light, as if it were carved from the most precious jade in the world . But at this time, as the Demon Monarch held it tightly in his hand, pained howls and wails cried out from the black sphere . Atop that shimmering surface, the distorted faces of people appeared .

Kacha –

The black sphere shattered . Scarlet flames rose up, wrapping up all the fragments and burning them to ash .

Within Mulberry Sky Mountain, the Demonic Path High Command was far from being like the rumored hell it was, one filled with inexhaustible blood and horror . Rather, it was stern and strict, with architecture that emphasized the unsurpassed might of the Demonic Path .

Qin Yu walked within . A massive number of demonic cultivators gathered around him, but, as he walked forwards, these people drew away like the tide, none of them daring to stop him .

This was because besides the Demonic Path Elder that had died outside the mountain, there had also been two other Demonic Path powerhouses that had once again proven how terrifyingly strong Qin Yu was with their lives .

Suddenly, countless demonic cultivators cried out loud and grabbed their heads in pain . Their eyeballs turned crimson as if flames burned within their bodies . Their sad howls joined together as one as they all fell to the ground, writhing and screaming . As demonic energy surged around them, sharp bone spikes began to drill out from their shoulders, elbows, waists, and all over their bodies .

Roar –

The first of the cultivators to complete the demonic transformation rose up on their feet and leapt at Qin Yu . Their mouths were opened wide with fangs that pierced through their lips . Blood mixed with saliva dripped down their chins, their faces twisted with mindless killing intent .

Qin Yu furrowed his eyebrows . He lifted his hand and thrust outwards with a thunderous roar . Befor
