Chapter 1704 - 1054 Ten Thousand Tribulations Slave Soul Contract
It can be said that as long as the Deity Transformation cultivators intervene on the battlefield.
Even if the Blood Soul Sect is almost exterminated, leaving only some junior cultivators at the Qi Refining stage.
The Blood Demon Sword Lord can definitely lead them to a comeback.
However.
Such battles between top-tier cultivators, while their subordinates can only watch,
are actually rare in the Cultivation World.
After all, even if a cultivator's cultivation reaches the Divinity Transformation Realm, possessing unparalleled power,
they are still just cultivators who progressed from the Qi Refining stage to the Divinity Transformation Realm.
And as long as they are cultivators, they naturally possess an aspect of seeking advantages and avoiding disadvantages.
When facing weaker cultivators, they can act at will.
Because those weak cultivators pose no threat to them.
But when facing another cultivator of the Divinity Transformation Realm,
unless they can overwhelmingly overpower their opponent, both parties will act with great caution.
Even if it concerns their own interests.
Even if the opponent blocks their path.
Before truly starting a battle to the death with the opponent, they naturally must first probe.
And at this point,
the forces under their command have their purpose.
The fighting between two Divinity Transformation Realm cultivators is not like the petty squabbles of junior cultivators in the Qi Refining stage.
Mutual probing, forcing the opponent to act, and finally clashing head-on,
are all to increase their own chances of victory.
For anyone who has succeeded in cultivating to the Divinity Transformation Realm in today's Cultivation World, their talent, aptitude, or inherent strength is likely extraordinary.
At the very least, they'll gain the high approval of a Deity Transformation Cultivator.
Only then can they truly inherit the teachings of their predecessor and step into the Divinity Transformation Realm.
Wei Fan's breakthrough to the Divinity Transformation Realm was because he received the high approval of a Deity Transformation Cultivator from the Nine Yang Sect, wasn't it?
Without that high approval, how could Wei Fan have succeeded in breaking through to the Divinity Transformation Realm in such a short time?
In such a scenario,
those who manage to break through to the Divinity Transformation Realm aren't easy to deal with.
Therefore, when the two sides must become enemies,
and a decisive victory is needed,
they will naturally make the most careful decisions and gradually increase their chances of defeating the opponent during this period.
The Blood Demon Sword Lord raised the banner of the Soul Locking Sect, starting to expand his forces flamboyantly.
The current Soul-locking Sect Leader immediately followed suit, collecting other Nascent Soul cultivators under the name of the Soul Locking Sect.
These are naturally parts of their strategies to enhance their own victory chances.
However.
In this regard, the Blood Demon Sword Lord took a step back from the beginning.
His identity as the former sect leader of the Soul Locking Sect couldn't challenge the orthodox power, merely splitting the Soul Locking Sect into two large and small factions.
And the faction under the Blood Demon Sword Lord is the weaker one.
Given this situation, the Blood Demon Sword Lord will surely turn his sights to other directions.
For instance, those Demonic Sect Nascent Soul cultivators forcibly incorporated into the Blood Soul Sect.
These beings are forces that the Blood Demon Sword Lord had no choice but to expand.
But the Blood Demon Sword Lord's move was one step short.
If he can do so,
the Soul Locking Sect can naturally do the same.
This way, instead of closing the power gap between them, it only widened further.
However.
By then, the Blood Demon Sword Lord could not turn back.
Thus, he could only forge ahead, consolidating internal forces and searching for numerous Divinity Transformation Treasures with all his might.
To increase his winning chances in the imminent great battle.
Yet.
What the Blood Demon Sword Lord did not know was,
those scattered Divinity Transformation Materials were already harvested once by He Song years ago.
Moreover, in subsequent times, He Song's intelligence agency kept searching for these Divinity Transformation Materials.
As a result, the forces under the Blood Demon Sword Lord barely brought back many Divinity Transformation Materials in these decades.
Only some Divinity Transformation Materials from the treasuries of various powers continuously flowed into the hands of the Blood Demon Sword Lord.
This led to the Blood Demon Sword Lord not obtaining many Divinity Transformation Materials.
Seeing that most of the obtained Divinity Transformation Materials were treasures from his forces' treasuries,
barely any were scavenged from the outside world.
This situation made the Blood Demon Sword Lord fall into contemplation.
Could it be.
During the ten thousand years of his seclusion,
has the outside world declined to such a state that even Divinity Transformation Materials are so scarce?
But he clearly remembers.
When he was at the helm of the Soul Locking Sect, the outside world occasionally had traces of Divinity Transformation Materials.
With some scavenging, quite a number of Divinity Transformation Materials could be gathered.
Could it be.
During the ten thousand years of his seclusion, has some unknown major event occurred outside?
Fortunately,
the Blood Demon Sword Lord still possessed numerous forces.
Thus, the Divinity Transformation Materials collected were barely passable in number.
After decades of refinement,
the Blood Demon Sword Lord obtained quite a number of Spiritual Pills and Talismans.
And the existence of these Spiritual Pills and Talismans,
became the confidence of the Blood Demon Sword Lord.
The reason he raised the banner of the Soul Locking Sect and gathered massive forces was,
