Beast Taming: Slaughter Atlas-Chapter 501 - 445: Eerie Blood Coffins
Chu Chen and the others watched the ten Blood God Avatars, and their expressions turned significantly graver.
The aura emitted by the Blood God Avatars had already reached the Emperor-level Peak, and was not far from the Emperor Level. Such strength would require at least two Emperor-level Peak Guardian Beasts to handle.
General Yuan immediately issued a combat task, having five of the Emperor-level group tackle the Blood God Avatars, while the other Qilin Army soldiers continued to fight the remaining cultists.
However, the Blood God Sect had a considerable number of high-level combatants, so the Qilin Army dispatched fifty Soul Emperor-level masters to deal with the Blood Beasts, clearly at a disadvantage when battling the Blood God Sect followers.
Seeing this, Chu Chen immediately requested to fight from General Yuan, saying, "General Yuan, I can handle two Blood God Avatars. Let the soldiers go support the other battle."
General Yuan was slightly surprised by Chu Chen’s words. Noting Chu Chen’s calm demeanor, he nodded and said, "Be careful then. Just hold them off for a while. Once we’ve killed off these cultists, we’ll come to support you immediately."
"Don’t worry, leave this to me." With that, he directed Nirvana and Shadow Kill to engage in battle.
Seeing Chu Chen’s Guardian Beasts were only at the Emperor-level Fourth Rank and First Rank, General Yuan couldn’t help but express concern, "Isn’t this gap too big? Maybe I should have the withdrawn troops return to support."
Chu Chen smiled and shook his head at this, "The power gap is too great, bringing the troops back will only increase casualties. Trust me, I won’t do anything I’m not confident in."
Upon hearing this, General Yuan reluctantly agreed with a frown.
After devouring a large amount of blood, the Abyss Blood Python’s injuries had fully healed.
Long Batian seemed to have anticipated this, his expression remained calm.
The two didn’t waste any words, soaring back into the air to continue their fight.
General Yuan and Liu Hongzhi did not join the battle, one was directing the fight, while the other was on guard for any additional moves from the enemy.
By this time, Nirvana and Shadow Kill had already begun battling the Blood God Avatars.
Watching this scene, Chu Chen couldn’t help but recall the events from two and a half years ago.
Back then, when the Blood God Avatars first appeared, he was just at the Great Soul Master Level. Facing such an opponent, all he could do was flee as fast as he could.
But now, he could stand opposite them and fight head-on, an astonishing transformation indeed.
Nirvana’s style was still to take the hits first, as the Blood God Avatars lacked much rationality and fought ferociously.
Fortunately, Nirvana was no longer what it used to be. Whether in combat skills or defensive capabilities, it had improved tremendously.
Every time it was heavily struck by the Blood God Avatars, it would leverage the opponent’s power to exit the fight and immediately use Limb Regeneration.
After repeating this process several times, Nirvana’s aura surprisingly reached the Emperor-level Peak.
Seeing this, the Blood God Avatars fell into a furious rage, their attacks growing increasingly terrifying. But Nirvana’s strength had already surged, making it difficult for the opponent to inflict any substantial harm on Nirvana, regardless of the attack’s ferocity.
Continuous attacks also drained a large amount of energy and Star Power from the Blood God Avatars, while the blood on the ground had largely become their awakening sustenance.
With no new blood to replenish them, the strength of the Blood God Avatars decreased significantly. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
Driven by instinct, they sought to escape Nirvana’s entanglement immediately to go absorb more blood.
But given Nirvana’s current power, it wasn’t so easy for the opponent to break free.
The rapid decline in the Blood God Avatars’ strength had much to do with Lei Yao.
Before the Blood God Avatars revived, Lei Yao had absorbed a massive amount of blood, which was the ultimate reason for the precipitous drop in their power.
With the situation at Nirvana’s end mostly settled, Chu Chen turned his focus to Shadow Kill.
Shadow Kill’s combat style was a stark contrast to Nirvana’s.
While Nirvana endured the blows before counterattacking after growing stronger, Shadow Kill utilized speed and stealth to ambush its opponent.
Shadow Kill was already incredibly fast, and with its Talent of Sprinting, the Blood God Avatars couldn’t catch a glimpse of its figure.
Shadow Kill refrained from using Star Power, opting for simple physical attacks instead.
For the Blood God Avatars, such attacks were trivial, easily ignored with their self-recovery abilities. After all, an eight-tier Realm difference existed between them, and the Blood God Avatars belonged to the class of invincible beings within the same Realm.
Shadow Kill had its reasons for doing so. The power gap was so vast that using Skill attacks would slow down its assault slightly, and the damage inflicted would still be limited, unable to kill the opponent.
However, Shadow Kill possessed the talent of Life-taking, and with enough attacks, there was a chance to trigger Life-taking, delivering a one-hit fatal blow regardless of the opponent’s strength.
The Blood God Avatars were quite infuriated, viewing Shadow Kill as a pest. Yet, this pest was dauntingly quick, utterly eluding capture.
Just then, Shadow Kill appeared once again behind the Blood God Avatars, swiftly slashing three times with its Blade Arm.
The Blood God Avatars were about to turn and retaliate when suddenly, their body froze, the blood glint in their eyes quickly vanished, and their aura dissipated instantly.
"Boom."
The massive body of the Blood God Avatars thunderously collapsed.
Even Shadow Kill was taken aback. It hadn’t expected Life-taking to trigger so swiftly.
This was purely a stroke of luck.
The probability of triggering Life-taking was closely linked to Shadow Kill’s Realm.
If Shadow Kill’s Realm was higher than that of the Blood God Avatars, the probability would be much higher. Conversely, a vast strength gap might mean it would take over a thousand attempts to trigger Life-taking.
Chu Chen was the first to react, promptly instructing Shadow Kill to aid Nirvana.
With the two beasts combined, the second Blood God Avatar was swiftly slain as well.
At this moment, Zhang Jue Ming’s expression turned extremely grim. Although he was fiercely battling Long Batian, he kept an eye on the commotion below.
With two Blood God Avatars down, their side was once again on the back foot.
If this continued, the Blood God Sect would inevitably be annihilated.
The Abyss Blood Python blasted out a scarlet energy to force the Azure Dragon back, twisting its body to arrive above the ruins of the Blood God Castle.
Zhao Wudi raised his right hand and slammed it down toward the ground, his robust Soul Power forming a massive blood-red palm print a dozen meters in size.
"Boom."
The blood-red palm print landed heavily on the ground, producing a thunderous rumble, with the earth violently trembling and caving in.
"The two of you should awaken now, if you don’t show yourselves, the Blood God Sect will be utterly wiped out," Zhang Jue Ming coldly proclaimed.
Hearing this, Long Batian’s expression drastically changed, surprised that their opponent had another strategic contingency.
Suddenly, two blood-colored coffins flew out from the collapsed area, hovering upright in mid-air, looking incredibly eerie.
Seeing this, Liu Hongzhi’s expression could no longer remain complacent. He took a step in the air to stand alongside Long Batian.
"It seems the Blood God Sect is more troublesome than we imagined."
Long Batian reflexively nodded at this, saying, "Elder Liu, can you perceive what’s within these blood-colored coffins?"
Liu Hongzhi shook his head, responding, "These blood-colored coffins have a perception-blocking effect. However, you needn’t worry too much; the individuals inside aren’t tremendously powerful. Upon reaching the Emperor Level, each small Realm advancement becomes extremely difficult."
Long Batian did not respond, merely fixing his gaze intently on the two blood-colored coffins, gravely.
It was now clear that the coffins contained two Emperor-level powerhouses.
This ensured that the Blood God Sect’s forces possessed three Emperor-level powerhouses, whereas their side had only two.
