Reborn Shang Zhou, angry at the sage Nuwa at the beginning

Chapter 2198

"This Human Emperor is so powerful! What exactly did he go through? How could he grow so fast..."

A chorus of gasps and whispers rose from the crowd, and disbelief was on everyone's face.

Although these people came from different factions, when facing the Human Emperor, they spontaneously united and pooled their strength to form an invisible barrier to resist any potential danger.

however,
Just as everyone was preparing to escape, they were surprised to find that the once vast and empty void around them had been sealed off by a mysterious force.

There wasn't a single gap to squeeze through!

Even those with unparalleled cultivation, despite using all their skills, could not detect the slightest sign of spatial fluctuations, as if the entire world had been sealed off.

at the same time,

The blurry figure of the Blood Heaven Demon in the distance gradually became clearer, as if it were within reach, sending chills down one's spine.

It got even worse.
The once silent void suddenly rippled, and streams of scarlet, blood-red energy surged forth from all directions.

More and more intense!

At last,
They wove together into a giant blood-red spider web, trapping everyone inside with nowhere to escape.

Not only that,

Everyone clearly felt a strange power continuously seeping into their bodies, resonating with their bloodline and causing their blood to become restless.

It felt like it could burst forth at any moment, engulfing and swallowing the whole person!
This unprecedented and terrifying experience instilled a deep sense of fear and despair in everyone, like a dark cloud looming overhead, heavy and oppressive, that was hard to shake off.

"Your Majesty! You are a magnanimous ruler, please show mercy! We really did nothing wrong, let alone offended you! Why must you press us so hard and resort to such cruel methods?"

"Yes, yes! If you can spare us, we'll be utterly respectful and subservient to you from now on! Is that alright? Please!"

"This time, it was that Blood Demon who attacked first, it has nothing to do with us! Please don't wrong an innocent person!"

For a time,

Various sounds of terror and pleas mingled together, rising and falling.

All eyes were fixed on the thick, leaden-like dark cloud in the distance, hoping to find Di Xin's figure or any trace of him within it.

Unfortunately, no matter how hard they searched, even if they tried their best to sense, they still couldn't catch a trace of Di Xin's presence.

in contrast,

As time ticked by, the murderous aura that permeated the surroundings grew increasingly intense and terrifying, sending chills down one's spine.

at this time,

In that eerie, dizzying void that caused one's body to involuntarily twist and deform, Di Xin stood silently, like an unparalleled overlord from beyond the heavens, looking down upon all living beings.

He stared blankly at the group of trembling men before him!
His eyes were cold as ice, calm as water, as if they were not swayed by any emotions at all;

But judging from the earth-shattering killing intent emanating from it, it was far more ruthless than an ice sculpture in the dead of winter—

The killing intent was extremely intense.
So much so that even the surrounding void, which should have been empty, began to condense into patches of pitch-black, crystal-clear ice crystals!
The leaden clouds, as black as ink, swallowed the last glimmer of light between heaven and earth.

The hundred-odd cultivators were all deathly pale, as if they had fallen into an ice cave. Boundless killing intent poured down from the sky, not from any specific direction, but like countless ice needles, piercing through their armor and into their very bones, making even breathing carry a bone-chilling cold.

"What...what kind of aura is this?"

An old Taoist priest with white hair spoke in a trembling voice, his whisk already soaked with cold sweat: "This is definitely not something that the Blood Heaven Demon could possess!"

Before he finished speaking, the Blood Demon, whose eyes were empty and lifeless and whose face was devoid of any color, curled up a strange smile at the corner of his mouth.

Next second,
Blood Demon King flashed, his speed reaching its limit, leaving behind afterimages.

Everyone felt a blur before their eyes, and then heard a shrill scream from beside them.

A cultivator screamed as his head flew into the air, blood splattering like a fountain into the shadows cast by the leaden clouds, making him look particularly gruesome.

"A puppet! He has truly become the Emperor's puppet!"

Someone roared out, and those words exploded in everyone's hearts like a thunderclap.

Blood Demon's moves were still ruthless, but he had lost his former arrogance and gained a mechanical precision. Every strike went straight for the vital points without any hesitation.

In an instant, screams, pleas for mercy, and the sounds of magical artifacts shattering mingled together, creating a tragic elegy of despair.

"Your Majesty, please spare my life!"

A middle-aged cultivator knelt on the ground, kowtowing repeatedly, blood streaming from his forehead.

"I am willing to submit to you and go through fire and water for you without hesitation!"

Seeing this, the surrounding cultivators followed suit, some collapsing to the ground, their bodies convulsing.

Some bowed repeatedly and begged for mercy incoherently; others tried to escape but were caught up by the Blood Demon and died instantly!
They watched as the once-feared Blood Demon King reaped lives like a puppet on a string, while the killing intent emanating from the heavens grew stronger, as if an invisible pair of eyes were coldly watching the massacre.

Di Xin's figure did not appear, but his oppressive aura enveloped the entire mountain peak as if it were a tangible force.

The killing intent did not diminish in the slightest; on the contrary, it became even more intense as the death toll rose!
Seeing that his pleas for mercy were in vain, the middle-aged cultivator kneeling on the ground flashed a glint of madness in his eyes. He suddenly unleashed his natal magic weapon and attacked the Blood Heaven Old Demon:

"Since you won't give me a way out, then let's die together!"

however,
The Blood Demon merely dodged to the side, his sharp claws easily piercing the middle-aged cultivator's chest. The cultivator's eyes widened, blood gushing from his mouth, as he collapsed, filled with endless resentment.

"Di Xin! We have no grudge against each other, why must you exterminate us?"

Someone cried out for help, but the only response was the Blood Demon's icy attacks.

Claws slashed through the air, carrying deadly black energy. She fought with her last ounce of strength, but still could not escape. Her body slowly fell, and the light in her eyes went out completely.

Beyond the leaden clouds,

More than a hundred cultivators perished. Blood Heaven Demon stood atop the mountain of corpses, his empty eyes gazing at the sky. The runes around him gradually faded, and the black aura dissipated considerably.

The boundless killing intent slowly receded, and the leaden clouds still pressed down heavily, as if nothing had happened, leaving only devastation and deathly silence!
Di Xin never appeared, nor did he respond to any of the pleas.

In his eyes,

The lives of these cultivators were hanging by a thread...
