Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
In a pile of chaotic rocks and weeds, the Ancestor of the Blood Sea struggled to crawl.
The tiny blood figurine’s limbs were short, unable to walk upright.
Rather than resembling a human, its form was more akin to a turtle.
Covered in mud and sand, he was a pitiful sight. 𝓯𝒓𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝒃𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝙢
To escape from Lu Xuan’s grasp, the Ancestor of the Blood Sea had resorted to a forbidden technique, burning his essence to barely retain a drop of true blood and his soul.
He was well aware of his dire state.
His body was extremely weak, unable to even maintain a proper human form.
But… There was always a way out in the heavens.
The sudden emergence of the Demon Emperor City was his chance!
Practicing the blood path secret techniques, he only needed sufficient resources and blood food to nurture his true blood and reconstitute his physical body.
Moreover, within the Demon Emperor City, there might be opportunities to recover…
“Since my youth, I’ve faced countless hardships in my cultivation. How could I fall here!”
“To pursue the path of cultivation, I killed my parents, my Dao heart is flawless, already perfected!”
“On my path, I’ve slain countless powerful enemies, destroyed sects and cities.
How can I die at the hands of an unknown junior?!”
“Lu Xuan, Lu Xuan… Today, your carelessness allowed me to escape. You will regret this!”
The Ancestor of the Blood Sea vowed vengefully, then continued to crawl.
Unbeknownst to him, a small lotus seed had taken root on his back.
Atop the walls ot Abyssal City, Lu Xuan and the two women watched the direction of the Ancestor.
“Why is he crawling so slowly?”
Nangong Xuan appeared worried.
Due to the recent battle, the residents of Abyssal City had been awakened.
And now, with the emergence of the Demon Emperor City, it was likely that demon geniuses and powers would soon arrive.
One could imagine the chaos that would ensue.
Nangong Xuan felt that once the crowd gathered, the rushing talents, not watching their steps, might inadvertently trample the Ancestor to death.
Just then, a stray dog ran over, barking.
It had yellow-brown remnants around its mouth and, upon spotting the blood figurine, immediately bit down without thinking.
The Ancestor of the Blood Sea, now in the dog’s mouth, was chewed and swallowed.
When had the Ancestor ever faced such humiliation?
Enraged, he used a secret technique to transform into a fluid and entered the dog’s belly.
His powerful blood permeated the dog, which collapsed on the spot, whimpering for a while before standing up again.
The Ancestor of the Blood Sea had taken over the dog’s body.
Without hesitation, he started running on all fours towards the Abyssal Mountains.
After covering some distance, he smacked his lips.
What was that thing? The taste was off.
“Bark! Bark!”
Realizing what the dog had eaten just before, the Ancestor of the Blood Sea cursed furiously.
“Let’s go inside and take a look,” Lu Xuan suggested, looking towards the Abyssal Mountains.
An incense stick’s time later.
Atop the walls of Abyssal City.
Several demon chariots adorned with the insignia of the Sky Demon Sect landed.
A woman dressed in azure and gold armor, with wheat-colored skin and long hair tied up, stepped out from the foremost chariot.
She was the young mistress of the Sky Demon Clan, Yan Feiyu.
The cultivators from the other chariots were also demon cultivators of the Sky Demon Sect.
Their cultivation levels varied, ranging from high to low.
“Young Mistress. ”
A middle-aged man in a long robe stepped forward, bowing respectfully.
Abyssal City was under the jurisdiction of the Sky Demon Sect, and this man was its city lord.
After noticing signs of the Demon Emperor City’s emergence, he had immediately sent a message to report the matter to the sect.
“Why would the city emerge ahead of schedule? According to the elders’ calculations, there should still be a few days left,” Yan Feiyu frowned.
“Replying to the Young Mistress, ” the city lord dared not conceal anything as he immediately answered, “Today, two powerful beings appeared near Abyssal City and engaged in battle. One of them perished…
Perhaps the dispersal of their essence stimulated the Imperial City, causing its premature emergence.”
“A battle between powerful beings?”
Yan Feiyu looked around.
The sky was clear, and the night serene. There were no traces of any battle.
“This…”
The city lord was at a loss for words.
He had been present at the site of the battle.
If he had to describe it…
He felt that one of the powerful beings had deliberately protected Abyssal City during the fight, preventing any damage to it.
This idea seemed absurd to him.
Battles between such mighty beings were incredibly dangerous, a single misstep could lead to total defeat.
How could one spare the effort to care for the surroundings, to protect the flora and fauna?
But apart from this explanation, the city lord could not think of any other reason.
“One of the powerful beings wore a grey robe and tread upon a sea of blood, his oppressive aura terrifying…”
The city lord of Abyssal City recalled, “And the one who fought against him, the other person…”
He suddenly froze, “I… I can’t remember him.”
The more he tried to recall, the more blurred the figure became, like a beach eroded by the tide, leaving no trace behind.
“The one who perished, was he the one in the grey robe?” Yan Feiyu suddenly asked.
“Yes, yes… It was him,” the city lord nodded repeatedly.
“This is the work of a great cultivator, who didn’t want you to see his true face,” Yan Feiyu sighed.
“No need to discuss this further. Tell me, what are the requirements for entering the city?”
“Replying to the Young Mistress,” the city lord answered, straightening up, “I have ascertained that anyone below the Soul Transformation Stage may enter.”
This meant that Nascent Soul cultivators could also enter the city. “Yang Kuo, Hu Fang,” Yan Feiyu spoke, “Follow me into the city.” “Yes!” the two Nascent Soul demon cultivators responded.
“Young Mistress,” Elder Jin, dressed in brocade, hesitated.
He was a Integrated Body Stage demon, with a golden-winged peng as his true form, tasked with protecting Yan Feiyu.
“Elder Jin, I understand your concern, worrying about dangers within the city,” Yan Feiyu said, “But this city is related to our demon race, and we must take a look inside.”
Hearing this, Elder Jin helplessly nodded, “Please be mindful of your safety, Young Mistress, and don’t cause us worry.”
“I understand,” Yan Feiyu nodded.
She was the young mistress of the Sky Demon Sect, the heir to the next sect master, and naturally privy to many secrets.
The Emperor City emerging near the Abyssal Mountains was not an ancient holy city of the demon race.
According to the Sky Demon Sect’s elders, this city belonged to an ancient Demon Emperor.
A demon city from the era of the ancient Heavenly Emperors, only surfacing today.
The inheritance of an ancient Demon Emperor was naturally covetous.
Another reason for Yan Feiyu’s decision to enter the city was based on the Sky Demon Sect elder’s conjecture.
Inside this Imperial City, there might be a slumbering Demon Prince, sealed within.
If the Imperial Prince were to emerge, it would stir up a storm, causing the entire realm to tremble!
