Longevity Chronicles-Chapter 356 - 254: Blood Rain Falls in Demon City, Tao Qian Grows a Big Belly_3

...

Tao Qian automatically ignored the rest of the trivial matters, his gaze directly locked onto the last two pieces of news.

In his mind, thoughts exploded like fireworks.

"In three days, Zhu Qi intends not only to borrow spiritual materials like those of Lady Mei to refine the 'Six Desires Demon Pill' to heal his body and dramatically increase his cultivation, but he also plans to seize the opportunity of the Treasure Refining Convention to capture all the Demon Cultivators, Alien Ghosts, and other beings in the Cultivation World within Demon City, to use them all for a Blood Sacrifice in the Refining Treasure process?"

"If he merely plagued the Cultivation World, it would be one thing, but this perverse lunatic is openly distributing food to relieve the disaster victims, surely within three days, he will attract at least a million refugees... Could it be that these people, along with the several million disaster victims already in Demon City, are all to be used for a Blood Sacrifice?"

Thinking of this, Tao Qian's brows immediately furrowed even tighter.

From what he had learned from Lian Yulou, he had discerned Zhu Qi's grand scheme.

But he only knew the outline, not the details.

What were his Heavenly Demon Army going to do?

What was Zhang Jiudeng tasked with?

And what was Alchemist Saint Child Huang Chong responsible for?

And what about the Cao Gang, Rashamon Country, and other forces?

Despite not knowing this, Tao Qian could be certain.

The process of Zhu Qi refining the Mountain and River Map would surely lead to a bloodbath within Demon City, with countless lives lost and corpses strewn everywhere.

This so-called Prince Zhao was far from a "Bright Lord," he wasn't even a normal person.

Tao Qian's mind immediately recalled the opinion of Lian Yulou, an already twisted Evil Sect Practitioner, on Ninth Prince Zhu Qi:

"Zhu Qi is a sly and tyrannical child, cruel and unfeeling."

"He seems uninterested in affairs between men and women, only delighting in torturing and manipulating others, flaying alive, steaming, dismembering, lingering deaths... all kinds of punishments are his favorites."

The more he thought about these things, the greater the activity became within Tao Qian.

The Human Dao Destiny he had attained in Southern Yue was surging constantly.

"Such a person, both a prince and a Taishang Demon Son."

"If he succeeds in refining the treasure, the Mortal Human Race of Demon City will have no hope, and for a very long time, they will be ruled by a perverse maniac."

"What's even more terrifying is, despite the uncertainty of whether the Ancestor God Forbidden Technique can be reassembled, there remains a sliver of possibility, and if Zhu Qi refines the 'Mountain and River Map', he won't be satisfied, and will likely covet the remaining Fragments, perhaps thinking of reactivating the Forbidden Technique to completely dominate the entire Longevity Heavenly Dynasty."

With his thoughts firmly set, Tao Qian pondered deeply on how to break the situation?

He alone was but a drop in the bucket, but what if he could pull the other great powers into the fray?

As he was pondering, suddenly, between heaven and earth, a terrifying thunderclap resounded fiercely over Demon City.

Even Tao Qian, who was in the quiet room, heard it distinctly.

This was no ordinary thunder!

Tao Qian immediately waved his hand, causing the door to swing open.

The next moment, he, as well as all the civilians in Demon City, involuntarily looked up towards the sky.

It was supposed to be early morning, but after that thunderclap, the sky above Demon City was completely enveloped by a crimson blood cloud.

The sound of "pitter-patter" was heard as rain started to fall on Demon City.

Blood rain!

Rain that resembled thick blood plasma poured down in torrents.

Even within the rainwater, some pieces of flesh, exuding a strong odor and mixed with yellow fat, were thudding down.

Even Tao Qian's expression froze at this moment.

Just then, a drop of blood rain was fluttered by the wind into the room, and Tao Qian caught it with his hand.

In his mind, the Record erupted:

[Record: Blood rain, a portent from the heavens, signifies that a great disaster will befall Demon City, possibly culminating in millions of corpses.] ƒreewebɳovel.com

As this brief message surfaced.

The familiar sensation once again appeared on Tao Qian.

A multitude of abnormalities, one after another, began to manifest on his body.

And in an extremely short time, it settled on the first one.

The place of convergence was, unexpectedly, his belly.

Tao Qian's abdomen visibly swelled, and in the blink of an eye, he had developed the round belly of a woman in her tenth month of pregnancy, round and full as if there truly was something inside?

"My sweet rain..."

Even though Tao Qian considered himself to have a stalwart will, he couldn't help but curse out loud.
