Chapter 71: The Blood Sea Takes Shape

  Since Luohan killed Ma Jiao, the ruler of Tianyuan Peak and its surroundings, all the major demons came to pay homage, hailing him as the Great King.

  Jin Gang looked at the big and small monsters, two or three monster kings, seven or eight big monsters, and about twenty sky monsters. He wasn't interested in them either. However, since he had to meditate quietly in the earth's fire vein under Tian Xuan Peak, he opened his mouth to say to the various big monsters who came: "Since you all are so enthusiastic, my brother and I won't be polite. We'll just cultivate here for a period of time, and after that, we'll leave on our own. You can all disperse, and if there's nothing important, don't need to report to us."

  From then on, in a remote and desolate mountain range in the far east of the continent, a solitary and majestic peak pierced the sky, where various large and small monsters played and chased each other from time to time. Some breathed out magnificent auras, and an atmosphere of peace prevailed. The powerful wild beasts that once roamed this region had vanished without a trace, but two newly arrived great kings had eliminated them.

  At the top of Tianyuan Peak, a narrow and deep black cave mouth leads directly to the underground, with scorching hot air filling the entire cave. The deeper you go, the originally narrow cave becomes wider and more magnificent. At the bottom of Tianyuan Peak, thousands of feet below, a vast lake-like sea of molten lava churns and boils, surrounded by swirling black smoke. The deeper you go, the denser the black smoke in the scorching hot lava becomes, filled with powerful destructive energy.

  But even so, in the vast and dark cloud of magma that was like an underground ocean, with waves of red light emerging from time to time, two golden apes and twin-winged tigers were floating up and down. The thick and black aura enveloped their bodies like a dark cloud, while the bright red magma continued to surge forward, as if trying to melt away the bodies of these two strange beasts.

  ……

  At the same time, in the endless abyss of Qianwanzhang underground at Ji Bei Mountain, a place that Yang Le and Yun Tian had once passed through, which was originally a hundred million li blood sea, has now undergone earth-shaking changes.

  In the boundless crimson ocean of hundreds of billions of square miles, wave after wave of foul and filthy air spreads out, without any living organisms in it, completely devoid of vitality, a terrifying silence.

  "Hahaha..." A burst of maniacal laughter echoed through the entire Blood Sea, which had originally been a hundred million li in size but suddenly expanded to a hundred billion li. The Blood Sea began to churn and boil, sending waves of blood tens of thousands of meters high crashing against each other, as if it had come to life.

  A hundred-meter-tall Blood Lotus slowly rotated and burst open in the sea of blood, and a wild and arrogant laughter came from within.

  The lotus petals unfolded, revealing a young man with long hair like blood and an evil intention. He was the Blood Demon Clan's Xue Wu Ya, whom Yang Le had met before.

  "Being the oldest existence in the Blood Demon Clan, second only to the Ancestral Founder of the clan, I have been stuck in the Divine Master Realm for nearly 900 million years. Although I have been ridiculed by the great saint clans of the same generation behind my back, and especially by the demon clans who dare to mock me openly, even within the Blood Demon Clan itself there are many who secretly criticize me. But who cares?!"

  "At that time, the heaven and earth had just opened, and the primordial spirits of the vast wilderness had disappeared. The major pre-heavenly demon gods used the remaining creative power to combine with their own essence and blood to create the first batch of demon gods, known as the Ancient Primordial Demon Gods! The talent of the Ancient Primordial Demon Gods was only inferior to that of the Pre-Heavenly Demon Gods. My Blood Without Bounds was also one of the most outstanding among the Ancient Primordial Demon Gods in that era, rivaling the Pre-Heavenly Demon Gods. In just a short thousand years, I achieved the title of God Master, and my cultivation speed was also among the top in the entire vast wilderness at that time."

  "However, during a journey through the desolate wilderness, at the foot of the Boundary Mountain, I discovered this nascent Blood Sea - the source of pollution. My greatest opportunity had arrived. At that time, it was still a vast and boundless blood lake, and the appearance of the young Blood Lotus growing in the source of pollution allowed me to see a grand and prosperous path, an opportunity to achieve supreme existence."

  "After experiencing the opening of the abyssal void dozens of times, especially when the four ferocious beasts emerged a million years ago, my Blood Sea has finally matured. The Blood Lotus has also reached maturity and been fully refined by me, allowing me to control the entire Blood Sea with ease. My mind and spirit are now one, and I can say that the entire Blood Sea is under my control. As long as I fully merge with it, I will become an indestructible existence. Those ancient gods who once mocked me were extremely foolish, unaware that I have long since surpassed them. Hahaha..."

  "For nearly 800 million years, I've been trapped in this sea of blood. It's about time to take a stroll outside. And that little brat actually knew that I was going to merge with the entire sea of blood... I need to investigate carefully, and if necessary..."

  Sitting cross-legged on the Blood Lotus, Blood Wuyan's mind stirred, and a vividly red Blood Wuyan emerged from the sea of blood. The red Blood Wuyan nodded to his true self before flying upwards.

  Looking at the departing clone, Xue Wu Yan couldn't help but feel a little regretful. For now, he could only split into ten Blood Sea clones at the same time, and any more would be beyond his control. He should seize the time to accelerate the complete fusion of the entire Blood Sea. However, after completely refining and suppressing the Blood Sea's treasure, the Twelve-Petaled Blood Lotus, the speed of fusing with the Blood Sea had greatly increased. It was estimated that it would take only 20-30 million years to successfully fuse with the entire Blood Sea and become a quasi-Saint. This Blood Sea was also a branch of the origin of the Blood Law, so fusing with the entire Blood Sea would be equivalent to fusing with part of the Blood Law, becoming a quasi-Saint.

  The blood-colored figure had just flown out of the endless, deep cave, startling a massive, ferocious beast that was lying nearby. Enraged, it let out a deafening roar and charged at this crimson humanoid creature. Normally, in these parts, such insignificant ants would be crushed with a single slap.

  Whoosh, a flash of extreme red light flashed by, and the wild beast didn't have time to react before its body was pierced through, immediately followed by a wave of pain that plunged into endless darkness.

  That enormous, mountain-like body of the ferocious beast quickly withered away after being pierced by the red light, its robust blood and energy disappearing without a trace. The remaining skeleton and scales also rapidly dissolved under intense corrosion, leaving behind only a puddle of dark, foul-smelling liquid.

  Xue's blood clone instantly transformed into a stream of bloody light and flew east towards the Boundary Stele Mountain.

  On the court of Tu Ba Tian Chao, which was separated from Ling Wu Tian Chao by a vast ocean, the gods stood in rows. In front of the two rows of officials, several gods wearing magnificent robes stood, they were the marshals of various legions of Tu Ba Tian Chao. On the throne of the heavenly court, a majestic figure sat, his height was one hundred zhang, his eyes flashed like lightning, his face was stern, giving people a sense of power, and his appearance was so ordinary that it was hard to remember.

  The majestic body of the Tianchao God Emperor was like a towering giant in front of the many officials, his awe-inspiring aura occasionally pressing down on the hearts of the officials. Even the few renowned military commanders at the front were somewhat apprehensive.

  "What are your thoughts, esteemed officials, on the newly emerged Carefree Pavilion in Starry Sky Island?" A loud and clear voice echoed throughout the imperial court, spoken by none other than Tianhao, the Divine Emperor of the Heavenly Empire.
