I became a god through frontier slaughter, and I crushed the academy's prodigies!

Tens of thousands of kilometers away from Tianyun Prefecture, on the northern border, lies the Bloodstained Plain.

The sky above this land was a dark red, thick with heavy clouds.

stab-

The space above the plain was forcibly torn apart like a rag.

A pair of giant, dark golden hands emerged from the void and yanked outwards.

A black crack with a diameter of 100 meters took shape, and a ninth-order dark gold puppet stepped out from it, splashing up a large amount of dark red mud.

Monsa fell right after him, and as soon as his massive body regained its footing, a strong, pungent stench assaulted his nostrils.

Blood-red rain was falling from the sky.

Monsa looked around.

As far as the eye could see, there wasn't an inch of clean land.

A swamp of flesh and blood, several meters thick, covered the entire plain, with countless mutilated human warrior corpses and beast remains carelessly discarded in the swamp.

Thousands upon thousands of terrifying-looking blood demon soldiers are frantically feeding in the swamp.

Some of them had huge mouthparts, while others were covered in fleshy growths, tearing apart the severed limbs with their sharp claws and teeth.

Savage, backward, disgusting.

Despite being a beast, Monsa, being a member of the Purple Spirit Clan, considered himself far more civilized than them.

A strong sense of contempt welled up in Monsa's heart.

The Purple Spirit Clan follows the path of mechanical ascension and spiritual evolution, regarding the physical body as a vessel that binds the soul.

In Monsa's eyes, these monsters, who only knew how to devour flesh and blood, were not even as lowly as the lowest insects.

He would never have stepped into such a filthy place unless he was desperate.

The voice of the Ancient Nightmare echoed in Monsa's mind.

"This is the territory of the Blood Demon Clan. Control your emotions."

Just then, a huge lake came into view ten kilometers ahead.

It wasn't a lake, but a huge pool of blood made entirely of viscous blood.

Blood bubbles the size of water tanks kept rising from the surface of the blood pool. Each bursting bubble released a dense aura of blood evil, distorting the surrounding air.

boom!

A deafening roar suddenly erupted from the center of the blood pool.

The once calm blood began to swirl wildly, forming a huge vortex with a diameter of over a kilometer.

At the center of the vortex, a dark red pillar of blood, hundreds of meters in diameter, shot into the sky, piercing straight into the dark red clouds.

A terrifying pressure, like ten thousand mountains, crashed down along the pillar of blood.

The blood rain within a radius of a hundred miles stopped instantly at that moment.

The blood demon soldiers who were frantically feeding, regardless of their rank, all stopped moving and lay prostrate in the bloody mud, trembling all over.

Monsa's expression changed drastically.

The energy on the surface of his puppet involuntarily formed a shield under the impact of this oppressive force.

However, the viscous blood-fiend energy still managed to penetrate Monsa's energy shield, seeping into his pores and attempting to assimilate the blood within his body.

"Get out of my way!"

Monsa let out a roar, his internal energy surging wildly in an attempt to resist the erosion.

But he was horrified to discover that his energy was completely impervious to this bloodthirsty aura.

The star-level energy core on Gu Yan's chest emitted a dazzling, eerie blue light.

A layer of mental energy shield appeared on the dark gold armor on the puppet's surface, violently rubbing against the surrounding bloodthirsty energy.

"Bloodthirsty Fierce, is this how you treat your guests?"

Ancient Nightmare's spiritual power transformed into an invisible sword, forcefully cutting through the blood-fiend pressure in front of him, its voice echoing above the blood pool.

The column of blood slowly dissipated.

A tall figure hovered above the blood pool.

It was a man with his upper body naked, his skin as pale as paper, and his surface covered with intricate blood patterns.

His eyes had no whites, only a scarlet red.

Nine blood dragons, formed from the pure laws of blood, coiled and danced around him, each radiating terrifying energy.

A ninth-tier Blood Demon Clan expert, Prince Bloodfiend.

The Bloodthirsty Prince looked down at Gu Yan and Meng Sa from his high position, his scarlet pupils filled with tyranny and mockery.

"guest?"

Prince Xue Li let out a hoarse, piercing laugh, which was mixed with a strong smell of blood, causing visible blood-red ripples to appear in the surrounding air.

"I didn't see any guests, only two stray dogs running away with their tails between their legs."

Prince Xue Li raised his right hand and casually snapped his fingers.

A blood dragon that had been coiling around him roared and soared into the sky, transforming in mid-air into a gigantic, blood-red hand that blotted out the sun, and slammed down fiercely towards the dark gold puppet.

Wherever the giant hand passed, the spatial barrier was corroded by the bloodthirsty aura, leaving large black holes.

"You're asking for it!"

Monsa's eyes widened in fury, and he wanted to get up and fight back.

Gu Yan snorted coldly, his dark gold puppet clenched his right fist, and a dark blue energy gathered on the tip of his fist. He then punched out to meet the descending blood-red giant hand.

Rumble!

The two forces, a deep blue and a dark red, collided violently in mid-air.

The violent shockwave hurled the blood and mud below hundreds of meters high, creating a terrifying tsunami of flesh and blood.

The dark gold golem slid backward for hundreds of meters, its heavy feet carving two deep furrows in the ground.

The giant blood-red hand was shattered by this punch, turning back into a shower of blood.

Prince Xue Li did not continue his attack. He looked at the dark gold puppet with great interest, a greedy glint in his crimson eyes.

"As expected of the old fellows of the Purple Spirit Clan's Supreme Council, if the materials of this ninth-tier natal puppet were fused into my blood pool, it would at least enhance my Blood Law by another ten percent."

Gu Yan ignored the Bloodthirsty Prince's provocation. The dark gold puppet stood still again, its dark purple eyes fixed on the figure in mid-air.

"Bloodthirsty Fierce, stop with your ridiculous tricks. I'm not here to fight you today."

The ancient nightmare's voice, transmitted clearly through mental resonance, entered Prince Xue Li's mind.

"I have brought you intelligence, intelligence that could allow your Blood Demon Clan to completely annex the Northern Frontier, and even overturn the entire war situation of the human race."

Prince Xue Li hovered in mid-air, the blood pool behind him still churning violently.

He tilted his head slightly.

"Oh? Tell me. If this information doesn't satisfy me, you two will stay here today and become fertilizer for my blood pool."

Ancient Nightmare's spiritual power emanated from between his eyebrows, projecting a huge holographic image in mid-air.

Ancient Nightmare's ninth-grade spiritual power could perfectly simulate the terrifying aura emanating from Shen Tian in the projection.

Although it cannot be a complete simulation, it is already 90% similar to Shen Tian.

A young figure clad in black dragon armor appeared high in the sky.

He was surrounded by fluctuations of various distinct laws, such as lightning and flames.

A black and red beam of light pierced the heavens and earth, instantly vaporizing fifty heavy starships.

As Prince Xue Li looked at the holographic image, his previously playful gaze gradually softened.

The eight blood dragons surrounding them also stopped swimming and let out a low roar.

"A genius has emerged from the human race. At seventeen years old, he has reached the peak of the sixth rank."

The ancient nightmare's voice rang out at the opportune moment, carrying with it highly seductive mental fluctuations.

"Furthermore, with the strength of a peak sixth-tier cultivator, one can unleash destructive power comparable to an eighth-tier cultivator."

Seeing that Prince Xue Li's breathing was becoming increasingly rapid, Gu Yan threw out his last card.

"If he were to reach the seventh rank and unleash the power of heaven and earth, no one on Blue Star would be able to stop him. But if you could devour his essence blood at this moment, to what extent would your Blood Law reach?"
