My equipment is designed for cultivation; I started by slaughtering my way through a small world.

Opposite the Tiger Fiend Sect Master, the mysterious Golden Core cultivator coldly said, "Blood Tiger, you slowed down the Ancestor's plans last time. This time, you've occupied the Golden Rooster Ridge spirit stone mine, yet you're still cultivating useless Blood Fiend Puppets."

"Judging from your attitude, are you planning to continue wasting resources creating Blood Fiend Puppets?"

The sect leader of the Tiger Fiend Sect, True Man Blood Tiger, frowned and said:

Didn't you see the message I sent you?

"While the [Bone Spirit True Technique] you provided can temporarily boost strength and unleash a Foundation Establishment realm attack, it is countered by the Azure Emperor Sword Sect's sword techniques..."

"The Xue Lang you sent over last time, he was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, but he was defeated by a Qi Refining Realm disciple named Gu Qing from the Azure Emperor Sword Sect."

"Your [Bone Spirit True Method] has a major flaw."

"Cultivating bone spirit puppets is the real waste of resources."

"The new sect elder of the Azure Emperor Sword Sect named Gu Qing is absolutely a genius among geniuses. If you continue to produce the bone spirit puppets you boast about, he will definitely find a way to annihilate the bone spirit puppets you are making."

Blood Tiger Master was still resentful about his previous defeat.

The Bone Spirit True Man, clad in a black robe and whose face was devoid of any flesh or blood, said calmly:

"So what?"

Although Bone Spirit True Person was slightly surprised by the recent rise of that genius elder of the Azure Emperor Sword Sect, he did not believe that a Qi Refining Realm cultivator could break the Bone Spirit True Method.

"Blood Tiger, this great battle cannot be influenced by a Qi Refining Realm cultivator or a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator."

"The entire Tiannan Continent is currently waging war in an orderly manner. As long as we advance step by step, we can annihilate all forces on the continent, and we will surely be the ones to win in the end."

"You could have just followed the plan set by the Ancestor, why did you have to be so clever and create so many Blood Fiend Corpse Monsters?"

In the empty eyes of the Bone Spirit Immortal, a faint red flame flickered, and he advised again:

"Blood Tiger, let go!"

"It's not too late to start making bone spirit puppets now. Otherwise, if you disobey the ancestor's orders, I won't be able to plead for you then."

"I don't need you to plead for me."

"I will prove that this choice was right. This time, with a million Blood Fiend Corpse Monsters, we will definitely be able to break the Azure Emperor Sword Sect's protective formation."

The Blood Tiger True Man of the Tiger Fiend Sect stared at the increasingly dense blood fiend aura within the crimson sky, and said calmly:

"If the blood-fiend energy corrupts the earth veins within a radius of two hundred miles, the Azure Emperor Sword Sect's protective array will become rootless. Without the support of the earth veins, they will be like a castle on the beach, easily destroyed by wind and rain."

Upon hearing this, the crimson flames in Bone Spirit True Man's eyes intensified, and he warned in a hoarse voice:

"Blood Tiger, creating the Bone Spirit Puppet is the Ancestor's order. You must prioritize the greater good."

Faced with Bone Spirit True Man's warning, Blood Tiger True Man of Tiger Fiend Sect became even more determined in his choice. He said impatiently, "I know how to do things. You watch, I will break through the Azure Emperor Sword Sect."

A chill ran down Zhou Sheng's spine as he stared intently at the Tiger Fiend Sect Master, saying, "Blood Tiger, one day you will regret this decision."

"snort."

Blood Tiger True Man snorted coldly and said, "Bone Spirit, you are just sent by the Wei family to assist. Don't forget, I am the sect master of Tiger Fiend Sect. I don't need you to teach me how to do things."

With a series of cracking sounds, Bone Spirit True Man swept away with a flick of his sleeve.

Watching the other person leave, Blood Tiger True Man's body flashed with blood-red light, and his aura surged dramatically.

"Just because your surname is Wei, that old ghost Wei even wants to sacrifice a million people to create bone spirit puppets to nurture you. If your strength truly surpasses mine, do you think the Wei family will let me off the hook?"

"snort."

"When the cunning rabbit dies, the hunting dog is cooked."

"Remember the bigger picture!"

"ridiculous."

Although the Tiger Fiend Sect was an affiliated force of the Wei family, its sect leader was also a thousand-year-old fox. He naturally understood what kind of fate awaited him after the destruction of the Azure Emperor Sword Sect.

Either you die and your cultivation vanishes, your entire cultivation becoming someone else's wedding gown.

Either become a complete dog...

Therefore, in the matter of breaking through the Azure Emperor Sword Sect, True Man Blood Tiger intentionally slowed down the pace and pushed the situation to develop in the direction he desired.

The various forces controlled by the Wei family are not a monolithic entity.

Especially those forces possessing Golden Core cultivators each had their own agendas and were calculating gains and losses.

……

Time passed by day by day.

It wasn't until ten days later.

The blood-red sky grew thicker and thicker, like clouds blocking out the sunlight. When the sun finally shone through the blood-red sky, the sunlight turned red.

Under the canopy of the sky, everyone looked up and saw that the sun had turned into a blood-red sun.

Just as everyone was looking up at the sky, the thick, blood-red sky suddenly began to pour down a light, drizzling rain of blood, like threads hanging between heaven and earth.

The Azure Emperor Sword Sect.

Bamboo forest behind Cuiyun Peak.

As Gu Qing watched the blood rain falling from the sky, he waved his hand, and a protective shield of emerald green sword energy covered his natal spiritual root.

The golden-jade-colored bamboo of the Sword Realm is covered with white-gold spots.

"I'm still a little short of reaching the Ten Thousand Year Sword Realm of Bitter Bamboo."

"This rain of blood..."

Gu Qing looked up and saw that after coming into contact with the blood rain, the plants in the bamboo forest, whether bamboo or other plants, seemed to be stained with a faint blood color.

A pale red thread appeared on the bamboo leaf, and the atmosphere of the entire bamboo forest became strange; these plants were slowly mutating.

"The Realm of Wood".

"Expel."

Before Gu Qing finished speaking, a layer of emerald green light shone on his body.

Centered on Gu Qing, the emerald green spiritual light emanating from her body spread in all directions, driving away and repelling other spiritual energy within the bamboo forest.

The plants, which had just been drenched in blood rain, were forced to release wisps of crimson malevolent energy. As the green light swept over them, the plants that were about to mutate were purified.

Even the blood rain falling from the sky was dispersed by the power of Gu Qing's spreading emerald green domain, turning into bloody aura that vanished with the wind.

"The Tiger Fiend Sect has laid down a blood-red sky curtain, the effect of which is similar to a domain energy field formed by the condensation of ten profound powers."

"The blood rain I dispersed transformed into bloodthirsty energy, which was once again controlled by the blood-red sky."

"It has not disappeared."

"Um?!"

As Gu Qing used his Wood Domain to disperse the blood rain, a message suddenly came from his shadow clone, causing Gu Qing to shudder and involuntarily look towards the main hall.

"Three days later, launch a preemptive strike and tear through the blood-red sky barrier."

"The Azure Emperor Sword Sect has accumulated its energy under immense pressure to its peak. If it does not retaliate, the Azure Emperor Sword Sect, like a spring, will collapse on its own."

"Within the sect, people are like trapped beasts."

This war concerns the very survival of the entire Azure Emperor Sword Sect.

Gu Qing created a shadow clone to guard his natal spiritual root, while his main body transformed into a sword light and disappeared into the bamboo forest behind the mountain.
