Chapter 519: Chapter 432: The Origin of the Strange Corpse, Ancient Netherworld

Desolate Ancient Battlefield, outside the Ancient Starry Sky Route, an overwhelming Sea of Blood stretches unendingly, almost extending into the depths of the starry sky, with the mournful, grand sound of sacrifice echoing among the altars.

"Idiots!"

An angry screech resounded, and the heads of the surrounding Blood God Sect followers exploded in an instant, while the remaining ones were trembling atop the altar.

In the freezing, fierce blood-colored Domain of light, a towering figure of a hundred meters, the Blood Lord, clad in menacing Bone Armor, openly displayed his anger, and under his feet, large cracks appeared on the Blood Massacre with a creaking sound.

"Nearly half the legion destroyed, and you didn’t even see the enemy!"

"My lord..."

A High Priest knelt on the ground, his voice trembling slightly, "The enemy was too fast, and without the Sea of Blood’s protection, we... couldn’t find any clues."

It’s no wonder he was fearful, as the Blood God Sect had risen abruptly from the Desolate Ancient Battlefield, forcing the once-dominant Star Beasts nearly to the brink of extinction, only to suffer a massive setback here.

"Get out!"

With a wave of his hand, the Blood Lord sent several priests screaming into the pitch-black starry sky. Though originally of Immortal Level, they found their power ebbing away like a receding tide, soon frozen into ice corpses by the cold surge.

Such is the nature of the Blood God Sect, where hierarchy is strict, and those of higher status can freely strip subordinates of power, ultimately water without roots, drawn from the Blood God and returning to the Blood God.

After venting his anger, the Blood Lord calmed down instead.

In his view, the current situation was somewhat delicate; the Blood God Sect had gained the upper hand, poised to blood-sacrifice the Star Beasts, summoning the True God at any moment.

Though he did not know why the enigmatic Divine Festival had delayed issuing orders, once successful, they, the Blood Lords leading legions on all sides, would be the greatest contributors.

If he bungled things at this time and was replaced...

At this thought, the Blood Lord hesitated no longer, a blood explosion erupted from his whole form, his gigantic shadow seemed to stand above the galaxy, and his cold voice echoed in the minds of all followers, "Prepare all Blood Massacres to flatten the Ancient Route with me, leaving no one alive!"

At his command, the Blood God Sect’s army immediately erupted with activity.

Atop the various altars, at most one Immortal Level individual remained, their power greatly diminished without the Sea of Blood, and thus they stopped throwing themselves to death. Only gigantic Blood Massacres ascended, permeating the blood-colored Domain, following the Blood Lord into the Ancient Immortal Path one after another.

This time, with the Blood Lord personally overseeing, they did not disperse their forces, the terrifying Qi Mechanism and blood-colored Domain spread continuously, detected from afar by the Yaksha King in charge of scouting.

"They’re coming, this power... can’t be stopped!"

The Yaksha King’s scalp tingled, and the scenes observed by the Cave Heaven Divine Crystal Immortal Ship were transmitted to the rear through the Divine Path network.

On the Dragon-Body Centipede flagship, Helian Wei’s eyes flashed with a sharp light, promptly issuing orders, "Everyone, retreat to the Illusion Array, several Immortal Venerables, please lead them here!"

"You intend to kill this Blood Lord?"

Yuan Huang mused, "To my knowledge, the Blood God Sect has at least ten Blood Lords scattered across the Desolate Ancient Battlefield’s Star Zones, it may not accomplish much."

Helian Wei’s eyes were full of determination, "Immortal Venerable, of course, I know. However, eliminating him would just make the enemy hesitant, advancing and retreating with difficulty, forcing them to send another legion to besiege the Ancient Route."

"Thus, the battlefield situation in the Northern Star Zone would inevitably become unbalanced, whether besieging the Ancient Route or the Star Beast Divine Nest. The Blood God Sect would need to expend several times the forces, only able to transfer from the Southern Star Realm, thereby making the Celestial Essence Star Realm safer..."

Yuan Huang laughed with delight, "So that’s your intention."

Helian Wei sighed, "The Divine Dynasty lacks strength and still needs time to develop, winning or losing a battle does not matter. I have only two objectives: ensuring the security of the Divine Dynasty at the rear and disrupting the Blood God Sect’s plans. With the Sect Leader absent, this is all we can do..."

"That’s enough!"

Yuan Huang laughed wantonly, feeling exhilarated, the Kaiyuan Divine Dynasty teemed with prodigies. If they could withstand these tribulations, their future brilliance would be unimaginable.

If the invading Blood Lord were here, hearing the two casually discussing his life and death, he would be furious. However, likewise, he did not know what he was about to face...

On the orbit of the Celestial Essence Star Realm, the massive Star Shining Thunderfire Shuttle moved slowly again; its surface flickered with lightning, surrounded by silver flames, establishing a link with the Immortal Sect through the Divine Path network.

Two days later,

The Blood Lord, along with dozens of Blood Massacres, frantically searched along the Ancient Route, yet encountered only the drifting fragments of altars and remains in the starry sky...

Three days later,

A few Immortal Venerables piloting the Cave Heaven Divine Crystal Immortal Ship lured the Blood Lord out of the ranks, waging a cosmic battle, shaking the firmament, but unfortunately being defeated and retreating. Subsequently, the Divine Dynasty Immortal Venerables took turns launching sneak attacks, comfortably escaping thanks to the Immortal Ship’s speed...

Four days later,

The utterly enraged bloodthirsty Blood Lord rushed into the Illusion Array without scruples, becoming entrapped in the Array’s cage. Accompanied by the endless killing power, a thunderfire a hundred meters wide illuminated the starry sky, reducing both the Blood Lord and the dozen or so following Blood Massacres to ashes...

An entire legion was destroyed, yet they did not even know who the enemy was; this news shocked the Blood God Sect top to bottom.

Just as Helian Wei anticipated, due to the unique terrain of the Ancient Starry Sky Route, unable to use the Sea of Blood, the Blood God Sect’s legion completely abandoned entry. They mobilized the forces of two legions to blockade the route, preventing harassment from the rear during battles with the Star Beast Divine Nest.

The Blood God Sect had ten legions in total; due to the Ancient Starry Sky Route, one was annihilated, two were pinned down, causing the Northern Star Realm’s forces to suddenly become stretched thin.

Under such circumstances, they had no choice but to abandon the Southern Star Realm, where the Celestial Essence Star Realm was located, deploying all three of their legions stationed there to maintain an absolute advantage over the Star Beast Divine Nest.
