Chapter 518: Demon-Subduing Blood Picture

"This is..."

Chen Ling, in the distance, saw this scene, a look of surprise appearing in his eyes. "Is the museum itself an embroidery picture, or was the museum forcibly turned into one?"

This was the first time Chen Ling had seen a Green Divine Path Domain at such close range. Unlike the domains of the Soldier Divine Path, which were full of killing intent and simple but lethal, the Green Divine Path’s domain had a magnificent and complex beauty.

And outside another door of the museum,

Yao Qing looked at the elderly figure spinning in mid-air on the embroidered Chinese dragon under the moonlight of the wolf eyes, his heart filled with shock.

"Grandma..."

In the sky, Xiao Chunping, riding the dragon, seemed to sense something. Her gaze met Yao Qing’s in the distance, and a slight smile appeared on her wrinkled face.

She tapped her fingertips, and three seven-colored embroidered horses were woven from the museum. One threw the unconscious Yang Xiao onto its back, while the other two rushed to Yao Qing’s side, picked up him and Su Zhiwei respectively, and then galloped rapidly into the distance.

"Damn it..." Nie Yu, deep in the center of the museum, felt the terrifying aura coming from all directions, his expression extremely grim.

He hadn't expected Xiao Chunping to be able to open such a large-scale Domain. He had seen very few Divine Path practitioners, and this was the first time he had encountered an enemy with a higher rank than his own.

Only when Xiao Chunping’s Domain opened did he intuitively feel how large the gap of one rank really was.

"I can't keep tangling with this old thing... No matter what, I must kill Su Zhiwei first!"

Nie Yu shifted his gaze from Xiao Chunping on the dragon, locking onto the three galloping seven-colored embroidered horses with his wolf eyes, gritted his teeth, and sped toward that direction!

As Nie Yu changed his target, the wolf eyes in the sky flickered with faint light. If Su Zhiwei were awake, she would feel her body as heavy as lead, making every move extremely difficult... Fortunately, she was unconscious, relying purely on the seven-colored embroidered horse beneath her to move at high speed.

"Young man, if you want to kill her, you have to get past me first."

Xiao Chunping tapped her fingertips again, and the museum around Nie Yu instantly squirmed. Countless embroidery threads rose rapidly from the edges toward the sky. From a distance, it looked like a cage was rising beneath Nie Yu’s feet, intending to trap him completely.

Nie Yu’s expression grew uglier. He held the hunting knife and shot forward like a cannonball, sharp threads frantically cutting through the surrounding embroidery threads, passing through the [Embroidery Kingdom of All Things] at an astonishing speed, trying to kill his way out.

But his speed was still a bit slow. As the entire museum gradually dissipated, a massive hexahedral cage gradually took shape in the air. Nie Yu slashed through a large number of threads to advance, but the next moment, more threads would wrap around him, like a quagmire, making it impossible to advance even half a step.

"Cough, cough, cough..."

With the frantic consumption of mental energy, Xiao Chunping, riding the dragon, coughed violently. Even so, her movements didn't pause for a second, fully focused on controlling the [Embroidery Kingdom of All Things].

"Young man... your戾气 (malice) is too heavy." Xiao Chunping said hoarsely. "Let me... help you shave some off... cough, cough, cough..."

Xiao Chunping raised her palm, and an almost transparent embroidery needle condensed out of thin air. With a flick of her finger, the needle vanished into the air, crossing hundreds of meters in an instant and piercing into Nie Yu’s spine!

Nie Yu, who was frantically trying to kill his way out of the [Embroidery Kingdom of All Things], suddenly groaned. The next moment, the flow of his mental energy suddenly stalled!

A transparent embroidery needle was frantically weaving through his body, fine mental threads weaving within his flesh and blood, as if drawing a complex human embroidery picture inside him!

Nie Yu’s movements paused, and he vomited several mouthfuls of black blood. Not only did his speed and strength decrease visibly, but even his mental energy began to stiffen, as if locked by something, his face turning deathly pale.

[Embroidery Master] Path, Sixth-Order Skill—【Demon-Subduing Blood Picture】.

"My rank... is starting to drop??" Nie Yu looked at his hands in disbelief. Everything happening inside his body completely exceeded his understanding.

Just now, as a large amount of mental energy was locked by the human embroidery picture, he had already dropped from the Fifth Order back to the Fourth Order. He didn't know if this process was reversible, but there was no doubt... his rank was still falling.

At this rate, in three minutes at most, he would lose all his mental energy, all his ranks and skills would be sealed, and he would be reduced to an ordinary person.

At this moment, in Nie Yu’s pupils, those wolf eyes also began to fade uncontrollably. His [Field of Vision Hunting Ground] was already crumbling and hard to maintain.

"This cannot go on!!"

A ruthless look flashed in Nie Yu’s eyes. As if having made a certain decision, he held the hunting knife backhanded and stabbed the jagged, sharp blade into his own chest!

Pfft—!!

As the blade entered his body, the sharp threads followed into his flesh, fighting against the embroidery threads frantically weaving inside him.

Since that old woman could embroider a picture inside his body to seal his rank, he could only rely on cutting the embroidery threads inside himself to maintain everything... Blood vessels, bones, skin, and flesh—his body instantly became a battlefield for embroidery threads and sharp threads. He would rather cause irreversible damage to his body than lose his skills and rank.

His capillaries began to bleed frantically, and he looked as terrifying as if he had been soaked in blood. He bent over and coughed violently, each time coughing up large amounts of black blood and shredded flesh—a gruesome sight.

But if this slaughter continued, either the embroidery threads would seal everything, or he would exhaust himself to death. Nie Yu knew very well that the only way to survive was to escape the [Embroidery Kingdom of All Things] as soon as possible!

Nie Yu fought the embroidery threads inside him while firing his rifle forward, struggling to carve out a bloody path.

Perhaps because of the simultaneous use of [Embroidery Kingdom of All Things] and [Demon-Subduing Blood Picture], causing mental energy to be consumed rapidly, Xiao Chunping’s coughing became more violent, her face visibly pale, and the embroidery threads sealing Nie Yu from the outside began to slow down.

This was undoubtedly good news for Nie Yu. If Xiao Chunping were still young, he would definitely never have escaped today... Unfortunately, she was already old. As Nie Yu gradually turned into a bloody man and blood began to flow from his seven orifices, he finally killed his way out of the border of the [Embroidery Kingdom of All Things].

"Damn it... damn it..."

Nie Yu’s consciousness gradually blurred. Every time he took a step, piercing pain came from all over his body... He could no longer pursue Su Zhiwei, but instead turned without hesitation, using all his strength to flee in the direction away from the museum!

As Nie Yu’s figure moved away, the embroidered dragon beneath Xiao Chunping gradually dissipated. This nearly ninety-year-old woman had long since reached her limit, falling weakly from mid-air.

"Senior Xiao!"

A figure in brown stepped through the void, rushing over from afar and catching her steadily in mid-air.

"Senior Xiao, are you okay?" Chen Ling asked, worried, feeling the old woman’s rapid breathing.

"Cough, cough, cough... I’m fine." Xiao Chunping’s gray hair drifted down, and she looked indescribably haggard. She waved her hand. "It’s just that I’m old... If I were ten years younger today, I would never have let him escape... cough, cough, cough...

I intended to directly seal his mental energy and skills, making him a complete ordinary person... I didn't expect him to be so ruthless to himself..."

Chen Ling stepped on the clouds, steadily sending Xiao Chunping back to the ground.

"Will his rank recover?"

"Theoretically, as long as he clears all the embroidery threads from his body, he can recover... However, that takes time."

"How long?"

"At most a day, if he is ruthless enough to himself... At the shortest, half an hour."

"Half an hour..."

Chen Ling’s eyes narrowed slightly. He turned to look in the direction Nie Yu had left, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes.

"Half an hour... is enough."
