Versatile Mage: The ancestor of the blood race, the blood demon lord

Without the help of totem resonance, Suzaku, in its soul form alone, was no match for Morgan, who was already a mid-level emperor.

The difference in soul strength between the two is enormous, but the battle between Morgan and Suzaku's souls is mediated through Mu Nujiao.

Thus, both sides fought with a rather delicate balance of power, ensuring that Mu Nujiao herself would not die.

Morgan did this to ensure that Mu Nu Jiao Shao would suffer some harm, while Zhu Que did it because she knew that if she really hurt this human, this creature from the dark dimension would directly erase her mind and turn her into a mindless dark servant.

If it really turned out like that, Suzaku believed it would be more humiliating than his own soul being scattered.

How could she, a sacred totem, have her mind erased and become a puppet!
Suzaku absolutely cannot accept this!

"Interesting, are they testing each other's endurance?"

"You don't really think the other totem beasts can come to your aid, do you?"

Interesting, really interesting. I never expected this guy to have such thoughts.

Suzaku actually thought that as long as he persisted long enough, he would be able to wait for other totem beasts to come to his aid!

The White Tiger has become his servant, the Black Tortoise is still a wanderer in the ocean, and the remaining Azure Dragon is just a corpse.

According to the information he had, none of the other totem beasts were of the emperor level.

How could a bunch of totem beasts of supreme monarchs and great monarchs possibly pass through the forbidden magic released by Sakuya?
"In that case, don't blame me for packing it all up and taking it with me."

“Sakuya, ignore those totem beasts and just let them come directly to Suzaku.”

"I want to see just how powerful the Vermilion Bird will be after the totem resonates."

Unless a fully-formed Azure Dragon appears, no one can save the Vermilion Bird!

After receiving Morgan's order, Sakuya was teleported directly to Suzaku's side when a totem beast entered her spatial forbidden spell.

The totem beasts that were suddenly teleported to the side of the Vermilion Bird were taken under Morgan's control before they could even react.

"If you don't want to die, stay put and hand over your power to Suzaku, then don't cause any trouble."

These totem beasts, which were not even emperors, could not even muster the courage to resist him.

The totem beasts, controlled by the blood domain created by Morgan, understood the gap in strength between themselves and Morgan, and they did not choose to resist Morgan by force.

Instead, he entrusted his power to Suzaku, thus refraining from interfering in the struggle.

Morgan's battle with Suzaku lasted for a whole day. During this time, more and more totem beasts arrived, only to be beaten up by Sakuya and then subdued by Morgan.

The power of the totem beast was all concentrated on the Vermilion Bird, and the Vermilion Bird's strength did indeed continue to increase, but... it didn't make much of a difference.

Zhuque was still suppressed by Morgan, even though Zhuque's aura was almost approaching that of a mid-level emperor.

However, Morgan acted as if nothing had happened and continued to exploit Suzaku's power.

It's been a day already, and all the totem beasts still alive in the land should have arrived by now.

Xuanwu didn't fall for it, but did Zhuque realize what was going on?

"These totem beasts are enough..."

If Xuanwu can be fooled, that would be ideal; if he doesn't, there's nothing we can do about it.

"You're about to give up."

Morgan looked at Suzaku's soul and said, "This guy has reached his limit to last this long."

Without a body, the soul cannot last long. "...I haven't lost yet!"

Now that things have come to this, Suzaku realizes that he has been tricked.

This guy could probably have defeated her long ago, but he's been keeping her at odds in order to attract more totem beasts.

Unfortunately, by the time she understood this, it was already too late.

Apart from Xuanwu and a very few totem beasts that live in the ocean, all the totem beasts in Shenzhou have come here and been captured by the other side.

As expected of someone from the dark dimension, he didn't care about the life of this human girl at all.

If she wants to escape the control of this dark creature, then the only way out is to self-destruct.

Once her soul self-destructs, everyone except this dark creature—the human girl and the surrounding totem beasts—will surely die.

Being plotted!

"We didn't lose, but the totem beasts are going to become extinct."

"I'll give you two choices: either your soul returns to the body I created for you, or I kill all the totem beasts."

If Xuanwu can't come, so be it; he can't force Xuanwu to come and die anyway.

"...Do you think I would cooperate with a monster from the dark dimension like you?"

If I become this guy's prisoner, then the future of this world is doomed.

The dark creatures, which were at the high level of the middle-level emperor and were infinitely close to the peak of the middle-level emperor, were things that Suzaku had never seen before.

The future of this world will be plunged into a dark purgatory.

Do you think you have the right to negotiate with me?

"You don't really think I haven't done anything all this time, do you?"

"Since you are unwilling to become my servant, I naturally have other ways to control you."

Within a day, part of Mu Nujiao's soul had merged with Zhuque's soul; now all he needed to do was kill Zhuque.

The power of the Vermilion Bird will automatically flow to Mu Nujiao, and Mu Nujiao will only die for a few seconds before being resurrected in the Blood Domain.

Everything went largely as planned. It was a loss that Xuanwu didn't fall for the trap, but he could accept it completely!

Mu Nujiao also sensed Morgan's thoughts through the influence of bloodline.

Although she knew she could be resurrected, dying for a few seconds was still quite novel for Mu Nujiao.

Anyway, she's going to die in a minute!

Can you please not be so calm and tell her what it means to die a little? Just bear with it a bit, it'll be over soon.

That sounds terrifying!
"you dare……!"

Feeling her consciousness being gradually devoured, Suzaku tried to resist with her power, but her power had already been almost exhausted in the tug-of-war. In the end, facing the erosion of Morgan's power, Suzaku's remaining consciousness completely collapsed.

As Zhuque's consciousness was completely devoured, Mu Nujiao's consciousness was also affected, and her entire body fell forward as if a net had been broken.

Morgan took over Mu Nujiao's body ahead of time, allowing her body to begin absorbing the power and spiritual energy of the Vermilion Bird.

The Vermilion Bird's consciousness has perished; now, Mu Nujiao is the new Vermilion Bird. (End of Chapter)
