The mountains stretched endlessly, waves undulated. The once lush forests here had now become barren, as if someone had shaved their heads.
On the endless mountains, countless Blood Clan experts occupied the peaks like ants.
Each of them closed their eyes and meditated, like stone statues, but within the core area, countless figures were busy at work.
There, countless Blood Clan experts were building a massive altar. Above the altar, the void split open, and a massive spatial passage twisted continuously, causing the void to roar and explode like the mouth of a demon, ready to devour the entire world.
"Boss, they're building a cross-realm teleportation array. It's a super array. Judging by its fluctuations, it's probably a grand array connecting several worlds." Long Chen and the others slowly approached from the front. When they saw the scene before them, Xia Chen spoke in a deep voice.
"It includes the seven worlds." Long Chen said.
Xia Chen was startled: "Boss, when did you become so skilled in formations?" Can you distinguish several worlds by using runic fluctuations? Long
Chen shook his head: "I can't distinguish rune fluctuations, but from that spatial passage, I can see seven holes. At the end of the holes, I see blood clan members also busy with activity." After
Long Chen's reminder, Xia Chen looked toward the void passage. But that passage resembled a huge mouth. With his soul power, he could only vaguely make out what seemed to be a small spatial passage, but couldn't determine how many there were.
If he used his soul power to look directly, it would easily arouse the suspicion of the blood clan. But Long Chen's soul power was terrifying—he could see through the space passage at a glance, making Xia Chen envious.
"Seven worlds—just how powerful are the blood clans?" Gu Yang couldn't help but click his tongue—this was just too terrifying.
"There's nothing to make a fuss about. They say only the Great Emperor can turn the tide during the Great Dark Age, which shows just how dark the Great Dark Age is.
The Great Emperor is the truly supreme existence, unmatched. Thinking of the terror of Emperor Mo Li, Long Chen couldn't help but sigh.
Last time, he had lost wholeheartedly, without a trace of anger. Among peers, Long Chen had never lost one-on-one against each other in a single match.
But before the Great Emperor, he was utterly defeated. Mo Li personally admitted that the incarnation imprinted on him by the heavenly tribulation was the same as when he crossed the Nether Tribulation years ago. Their realms were the same, but their combat power was vastly different.
However, that battle did not shatter Long Chen's confidence; instead, it made him even more motivated, because he had discovered a new target.
"But boss, you're not bad either. You're the only one who can fight the Emperor and survive." Guo Ran said with admiration.
"Your flattery skills are getting better and better. Alright, a defeat is a loss, there's nothing to admit it.
Guo Ran, you lead the charge. Today, I'll give you a chance to show off properly. Long Chen said.
"Alright, just watch!"
Guo Ran was overjoyed and was the first to step forward. His blood-red battle armor flashed with cold light, his massive crossbow trembled, and an arrow shot forth.
"Boom!"
The arrow exploded in the void, bursting with countless rays of light, instantly alarming all the blood clan experts.
"Roaming across the four seas and crossing a thousand mountains, the heavens and earth stir with waves, the divine crossbow and blood armor stir like wind and clouds, there is Guo Ran who exterminates demons and upholds the Dao.
Hey! Long Chen sat down. Guo Ran, the commander-in-chief of the Dragonblood Legion, is here. If you don't kill yourselves, do you really want your grandpa Guo to take matters into your own hands? Guo
Ran, clad in armor and wielding a giant crossbow, stood in midair, looking down at the group of blood clan experts who looked stunned, seemingly still unable to react.
"Sss!"
Guo Ran waved his large hand, holding a giant crossbow in one hand. He pulled the trigger, and a blood-red arrow shot out, shooting straight at the powerful figures building the passage.
"Boom!"
Blood-red arrows shattered among the crowd, countless fragments flying out. The fragments were tiny but razor-sharp, landing on the blood clan experts and instantly piercing their bodies.
"Puff puff puff... A
tremendous force pierced through his body, shattering the bodies of the blood clan experts, blood staining the sky. After one arrow, a large area was cleared away.
As Guo Ran's cultivation improved, the explosive arrows he crafted became increasingly terrifying. Previously, only one explosive rune could be embedded in a single arrow, but now three could be embedded. The power of that explosion was simply terrifying.
"Kill!"
The blood clan expert, perhaps having fought the human race for too long, actually issued orders in human language.
"Rumble... Countless
blood clan experts surged toward Guo Ran like raging waves, while the mountains exploded. Beneath the earth, countless blood clan members were still hiding.
"Wow, this time it's enough."
Seeing countless blood clan experts flying out, Guo Ran couldn't help but feel overjoyed. If he could kill these blood clan experts, the collection of ancient essence blood would definitely be enough.
"The heavenly maiden scatters flowers, making a splash!"
Guo Ran suddenly let out a strange cry, sheathed the blood-red crossbow, and wildly waved his hands, shooting one round after another into the air.
"Boom boom boom boom... The
sphere flew out, exploding as soon as it met anyone. The continuous explosions were as dense as firecrackers. Any strong fighter hit by the sphere was instantly shattered into nothingness.
However, there were too many Blood Clan experts. Just as they were about to engulf Guo Ran, streams of sword energy tore through the void and fell into the crowd. Wherever the sword energy passed, those Blood Clan experts were slaughtered one after another.
It was the Dragonblood Legion who had arrived. This was their first full-force battle since advancing to Tongming. The moment they struck, they felt their entire blood and energy ignited. They felt as if they were born for battle—the battlefield was where their lives would shine.
"Rumble..."
Suddenly, the void split open. A bone spear pierced the sky, carrying endless deathly aura as it attacked. On the spear, the power of life and death intertwined, changing the color of heaven and earth. This was the fourth step of the Tongming Realm powerhouse making its move.
"I'll block."
Facing the Void-Piercing Spear, Guo Ran showed no fear, instead directly blocking with his chest.
With a loud explosion, Guo Ran was blasted away by the spear, but it was not pierced. The void trembled, and an elder of the Blood Clan appeared, staring in shock at Guo Ran who had been sent flying, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"Hahaha, even a fourth-step Tongming Realm expert is nothing special—they can't even break through my defense." Guo Ran steadied himself and laughed heartily toward the sky.
At that moment, a door knocker appeared on Guo Ran's chest. It was the very one Long Chen had taken off the Gate of Hell, one for each of them.
One door knocker was in Long Chen's hand, and another was embedded by Guo Ran into his chest armor, used to save his life at critical moments.
Today, when Guo Ran saw a fourth-step Tongming Realm expert strike, he was initially worried he wouldn't be able to withstand it, but after the blow, he was only shaken and uncomfortable, there was not the slightest injury, and I couldn't help but feel ecstatic.
"Buzz!"
The Blood Clan's Fourth Step Tongming Realm expert snorted coldly, stepped on the void, and charged at Guo Ran again. Clearly, he was unwilling to accept it. His entire body was covered in bloodstains, his blood energy surging to the sky. Clearly, this was his full-power burst.
"Block another strike from you, where else?"
Guo Ran sneered coldly and stepped forward again. Seeing the spear shooting toward him, he puffed out his chest and stepped forward.
But this time, the blood clan elder suddenly trembled his spear and changed direction, stabbing straight at Guo Ran's abdomen.
With a loud explosion, sparks flew as Guo Ran was sent flying again. To the old man's shock, his strike still struck the door knocker pattern.
Guo Ran grunted and was sent flying, but his arm went numb from the shock, and his spear nearly slipped from his hand. His heart was filled with terror—what on earth was happening?
"Idiot, my talisman can be moved at will. Your little tricks are really going against your old man Guo?" It's really hilarious. Guo Ran sneered.
However, inside the armor, blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. Because of that earlier strike, he had been too careless and nearly lost his position. Fortunately, the door knocker had anticipated this situation during the design and shifted it to his abdomen at the critical moment.
But the door knocker was moved over, and Guo Ran hadn't properly guarded it. As a result, he was shaken so hard his internal organs felt like they were about to flip over, unbearably uncomfortable.
But it also proved one thing: the door knocker stolen from hell was his life-protecting talisman. Even the full-force strike of a fourth-step Tongming Realm expert could block it. Guo Ran was destined to be completely invincible from now on.
"Old man, take my knife."
Guo Ran shouted sharply, swinging his blood-red battle blade toward the elder of the blood clan.
Seeing Guo Ran charging in, the elder of the blood clan dared not be careless. Because his right hand and tiger's mouth were still numb from the crack, he hurriedly handed over his spear to his left hand to block.
"Clang"
The battle blade struck the spear, causing the blood clan elder to tremble violently. Guo Ran's strike was equally terrifying, forcing him to retreat repeatedly.
"Pfft"
As the vampire elder was retreating, a dagger suddenly silently appeared at the back of his head. The old man actually slammed his head against the dagger, and the sharp blade immediately pierced through the back of his head, piercing through his brow.
The blood clan elder's eyes instantly lost their light, his life fluctuation vanished, and a jade hand pulled the dagger from the back of his head, then vanished into the void. From beginning to end, no one saw what the owner of the dagger looked like.
Long Chen stood above the void, a faint smile appearing on his face. The Tianhuang Absolute Kill truly deserved its reputation as something even Leng Yueyan valued. After learning the Tianhuang Absolute Kill, Dongmingyu had become even more terrifying. He was familiar with Dongmingyu's soul fluctuations, but when Dongmingyu was invisible, even he could not sense her presence.
With a loud explosion, the void was shattered. Aman was actually fighting a fourth-step Tongming Realm expert. Aman and the old man both retreated at the same time, evenly matched.
"Buzz!"
The old man retreated, and suddenly a towering willow tree appeared in the void. Endless branches bound him, and at the same time, a transparent Crescent Moon Blade shot toward him.
"Boom!"
The old man roared in fury, unleashing his full power and shattering the willow branches around him. But at that moment, the Crescent Moon Blade happened to reach his brow.
"Pfft"
This gift from Leng Yueyan was unmatched in sharpness, piercing through the old man's head in an instant. Another fourth-step Tongming Realm expert was slain.
"Yay!"
With the cooperation of Liu Ruyan, Tang Wan'er slew a fourth-step Tongming Realm expert. Tang Wan'er shouted excitedly.
"Kill!"
At that moment, thunderous shouts erupted around them. Nangong Zuiyue, Beitang Rushuang, and Ye Lingshan each led three armies, charging at the Blood Clan army from three different angles like sharp blades.
