With a furious glint in her eyes, Crimson reached out her right hand again, grabbing at Serpent Heart's neck, intending to attack him just as she had done with Ash.

Seemingly unaware of the attack coming from behind, Snake Heart continued to walk steadily outwards without making any defensive moves.

Without any hindrance, Shinku's hand easily landed on Snake Heart's neck. With just a little force, she could create the same bloody scene as before.

However, she couldn't exert any force. As her hand landed on Snake Heart's long, pale neck, a small wisp of pale white mist appeared there automatically. Suddenly, like a ripe, even rotten, fruit falling to the ground, a soft, somewhat muffled sound rang out. Crimson's entire arm instantly exploded, leaving no bones, no flesh, only a wisp of red mist floating in the air.

With a muffled groan, Shinku clutched her wound, her eyes flashing with shock, but she didn't utter a single scream. Meanwhile, Hyakuran, standing to the side, also showed a slight hint of surprise. Through their brief exchange earlier, he knew Shinku's physical strength was no less than his own, but he hadn't expected his older sister to shatter Shinku's arm so easily with just an instinctive defensive counterattack.

Crimson's ability doesn't focus on recovery like Life Ash's, but rather on attack. If she wants to heal her arm injury, it will take some time.

After quickly stopping her bleeding, Shinku looked up at the red mist still floating in the air and decided to swallow it. After all, it was her flesh and blood, and swallowing it would greatly speed up her recovery.

But as soon as Shinku opened her mouth, she was shocked to find that the blood mist seemed to have been infected, quickly turning pale white and becoming impossible to reabsorb.

Snake Heart seemed completely unaware that someone was about to attack her, and continued to walk out with simple and elegant movements.

It seems that Shinku's attack just now was not even as bad as a mosquito bite to Snake Heart, and could not evoke any emotion in her at all.

Dejected, she lowered her head, but soon, Shinku raised her head again, looking resolutely at Snake Heart's back as she walked away.

Seemingly sensing the gaze behind him, Snake Heart's lips curled up slightly, as if he were somewhat satisfied.

As soon as I stepped out of the room, a monster that had appeared at the doorway without me noticing rushed to greet me.

"My lords, Lord Touya is waiting for you in the main hall. Please follow me."

Chapter 46 Entering

"Phew, I really underestimated those old guys. Those who have lived this long all have some tricks up their sleeves."

Exhaling a breath of stale air, Lehei cautiously surveyed his surroundings, only relaxing when he confirmed that the area was desolate and there was no other life besides them.

Apart from Snakeheart and White Blue, whose expressions remained unchanged throughout, the reactions of the others were similar to those of Lehei.

When they found Douya Wang and asked for detailed information about Yuan Yuan, Bao Xian Gui, who was standing next to Douya Wang, threw out a black diamond without saying a word. Then, a pitch-black spatial passage suddenly appeared with the black diamond as the center.

Before they could react, a powerful suction force suddenly appeared in the passage. Except for Snakeheart and Bai Lan, who couldn't even offer any real resistance, they were sucked in. Fortunately, there was no real danger in the passage, and they were quickly thrown out, looking somewhat disheveled but unharmed.

Crimson clenched her left fist, her face growing increasingly grim. The suction force of the passage should have had no effect on her, but because she had lost her right hand while attacking Serpent Heart, and her regenerative abilities seemed to have been affected and hadn't fully recovered, she had become the only one in the Berserker Grid to be sucked down without warning.

Although both Snakeheart and Blue have come down, the difference between coming down voluntarily and coming down under duress is completely different.

Rakuhei, who was standing to the side, seemed to realize that Shinku was thinking of attacking Snake Heart again, and quickly grabbed her hand.

"Third sister, don't be impulsive. Your madness awakened late, so it's understandable that you're a little behind the eldest sister and the others. Just be patient, and you'll catch up with them soon."

Shinku paused, the blackness in her eyes slowly receding. She glanced at Raku, but didn't break free from his grasp, and gradually calmed down.

Zhenhong calmed down, not because of Lehei's long speech, but simply because of that one word, "Third Sister." Unlike the previous teasing address, this "Third Sister" was sincere and heartfelt, making Zhenhong feel like she had family for the first time.

It was this inexplicable feeling that calmed down Shinku, who was extremely prone to rage, and a hint of warmth appeared in her eyes as she looked at Rakugo.

The aerial passage hadn't disappeared; the wildly surging lightning at its entrance was still blinding, and Touya's calm voice echoed from within.

"You can find the answers to whatever questions you have here. Once you've asked your questions, come out on your own."

"The answer is here? What does that mean?"

Yu Bai frowned, looked up at the large hole in the sky, and spoke in a deep voice, though it was unclear who he was asking.

The group exchanged glances, their expressions somewhat helpless. Although their astonishing bloodlines had granted them at least the strength of great demons, even surpassing some of their seniors, they were only four years old and lacked sufficient experience, making them somewhat inadequate in this situation.

Suddenly, Snake Heart seemed to realize something. Her furrowed brows relaxed, and she slowly released the aura of her bloodline. Sensing her movement, the others looked enlightened and also began to release their own bloodline auras.

Inside the main hall of the Western Kingdom, Douya King and others were viewing the scene inside the Black Diamond Space through a huge gemstone mirror.

"Although I've seen it many times, I still can't believe my eyes every time I see these little guys display their power. Four years, they've become great monsters just four years after they were born. This is something I never dared to dream of before."

Touching his beard, which he had grown at some point, the Dragon Bone Demon's expression was somewhat strange. Now, having resolved the effects of his excessive physical strength on his mind, he was no longer the child he once was, but a muscular man over two meters tall.

With a sinister laugh, the Money King, still maintaining his old-man demeanor, glanced at the Dragon Bone Demon, his eyes flashing with malice, and spoke.

"Envious? Jealous? Then why not take action and seize their bloodlines? Although they are all great demons, these little guys lack accumulation. Apart from that girl Snake Heart, as long as you want to take their bloodlines, it's not difficult at all. Think about it, as long as you have their bloodlines, you might be able to completely transform into a dragon and become a celestial demon."

With a cold snort, the Dragon Bone Demon grabbed a whole roasted pig, golden brown in front of it. Its mouth instantly transformed into a maw filled with sharp teeth, and it bit the pig in two. Its scarlet tongue licked the bone fragments between its teeth, its eyes icy cold.

"Old man, I hate it when people treat me like an idiot. If it happens again, I won't hesitate to eat you up."

The powerful demons present all knew that Yuan Yuan, who had been in contact with them, was merely an avatar. Yet, even that avatar was so powerful that they couldn't resist him. Moreover, it seemed that Yuan Yuan was also an extremely powerful figure in Hell; Enoshima Junko had once described him as "equivalent to an entire force."

Most importantly, after a period of time, Yuan Yuan will be able to send down his clone again.

Knowing this information, these old guys, who are at least three hundred years old, naturally know what to do.

Rather than killing the little snakes, seizing their bloodline, and gambling on that meager chance of advancing to the Heavenly Demon realm, it would be better to take care of those little snakes, forge a good relationship with Yuan Yuan, and have someone to look after them when they go to Hell in the future.

None of these great demons didn't want to go to Hell. Going to Hell meant they could travel to other worlds, which meant they could break the limitations of their current power, become stronger, and fight against more powerful beings.

For these reasons, they have devoted themselves wholeheartedly to teaching the little snake over the years, imparting all their knowledge, except for knowledge related to their core secrets, to the little snakes they are responsible for.

Moreover, the Dragon Bone Spirit and the others all knew that even if they became Heavenly Demons, they would most likely still be no match for Yuan Yuan's incarnation.

That giant serpent stretching across the sky, resembling a continuous mountain range, left a very deep impression on them.

Ignoring the threat from the Dragon Bone Demon, the Money King gave a sinister laugh. Several copper coins hanging on the corner of his clothes, seemingly as decorations, collided with each other, producing a clear, mesmerizing sound. A ripple, invisible to the naked eye, spread out towards the Dragon Bone Demon.

"Alright, alright, once we get to hell, the chances of us cooperating are high because of those little guys. Let's not make things too awkward."

Shui Ze chuckled and clapped his hands, speaking to soothe the two of them. As Shui Ze clapped, an invisible ripple spread out, neutralizing the ripples emitted by Qian Wang.

Although neither the Dragon Bone Demon nor the Money King were lustful, they were still willing to give some face to a powerful, beautiful, and gentle woman. So they smiled and ignored her.

"Is Lord Mizusawa so confident that he can enter hell?"

Bai Shen, who was quietly sipping his wine alone, looked up, raised his glass to Mizusawa, and asked with a smile.

Mizusawa's smile remained gentle, devoid of any domineering air. He raised his teacup and clinked it against Shirakami's from afar.

"This isn't confidence, it's just stating a fact. Don't you think so?"

After drinking the clear liquid in his glass, Shirakami smiled and spoke.

"What a coincidence, that's exactly what I was thinking too."

Chapter Forty-Seven Blood

The space created by the black diamond was desolate. Neither animals nor plants, not even the most primitive insects and mosses, could survive here. It seemed that something strange was affecting this place.

While releasing the aura of their bloodline, Bai Yu and the others frowned as they surveyed their surroundings. The environment here was too eerie; there was no deathly aura, yet there was no life at all, which made them feel a chill down their spines.

“This situation was definitely not caused by Bao Xian Gui; he doesn’t have that ability.”

Minghui cautiously surveyed her surroundings, lowering her voice as she spoke softly. She had been raised by Baoxian Gui, and she knew almost everything about Baoxian Gui's abilities. Even if Baoxian Gui had some hidden strength, it definitely couldn't be this powerful.

"Shut up."

Ashe frowned, wanting to say something more, but Crimson interrupted her mercilessly.

Interrupted, Minghui frowned even more, a hint of dissatisfaction appearing in her eyes. Although she had been badly abused by Zhenku and had even submitted, it didn't mean Zhenku could treat her like a servant. Her innate pride wouldn't allow her to obey others like a servant.

Noticing Minghui's displeasure, Bailan smiled gently and ruffled her hair vigorously.

"Don't blame your sister. Open your senses and feel carefully, and you'll know the reason."

Seemingly very uncomfortable with Bai Lan's intimate gestures, Ming Hui's body trembled violently. She quickly took two steps back, covered her head, and stared at him cautiously. Her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes even became slightly moist. The wariness she showed towards Bai Lan was even greater than that towards Zhen Hong, who had seriously injured her.

Bai Lan couldn't help but smile wryly at Ming Hui's violent reaction. He spread his hands, took two steps back, and then signaled to Ming Hui that he could release his senses.

Seeing Bai Lan step back, Ming Hui breathed a sigh of relief, but a fleeting glimmer of disappointment seemed to flash in her eyes.

Slowly closing her eyes, Ming Hui completely released her senses. Her powerful soul trembled gently, like a pebble dropped into calm water, creating ripples in the surrounding space. Through these ripples, no part of the already small Black Diamond space could escape her detection.

Startled, he opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in his gray eyes. For a moment, he didn't know what to say.

During that brief exploration, she discovered that a vast yet somewhat ethereal will was slowly emerging within the Black Diamond Space. However, despite having explored every corner of the Black Diamond Space, she still couldn't pinpoint where this will was coming from.

The others also opened their senses because of Bai Lan's words, and at this moment they all sensed something similar to Ming Hui, and their eyes were somewhat surprised.

Before they could even exchange their thoughts, a new change occurred: countless cracks appeared in the dark earth, like gaping mouths opening towards the sky. Although Bai Lan and the others had noticed the cracks the moment they appeared, they hadn't expected that when they tried to fly away to avoid them, they would find that they couldn't fly here. As a result, although none of them were swallowed by the cracks, they were all somewhat disheveled.

As soon as everyone stood still and before they could even speak, a faint fragrance wafted into their nostrils.

Along with the aroma came crimson blood gushing from the cracks. This blood, emerging from the ground like a spring, emitted a strange and incredibly enticing fragrance.

Soon, the blood flooded the ground. Because they couldn't fly and there were no bumps on the ground, everyone could only watch helplessly as the blood rose above their feet.

As the blood flowed to Crimson and Ash's feet, a sudden change occurred. The blood swelled up instantly, as if it had come alive, transforming into a massive membrane that enveloped the two. The two were about to resist, but realizing that this blood membrane was healing their injuries, they ignored it and fell silent, gesturing to Hundred Blue and the others to reassure them.

Soon, Crimson's right arm, which had been slowly recovering, and Ash's internal organ injuries both healed rapidly. After they recovered, the blood membrane automatically detached and re-integrated into the blood below.

Then, it seemed that none of the people had sustained injuries, and the blood began to rapidly gather, quickly forming a small blood sphere. The blood sphere wriggled rapidly and soon took on a human shape.

When they saw the blood-red humanoid face, a sudden sense of intimacy washed over them, as if this humanoid was their closest and most important person.

“Father…sir.”

Someone whispered the word that everyone was thinking.

So, it was Father who was healing me just now? What a blissful feeling.

Just now, the blood film covered my entire body, which means that Father just touched every corner of my body. That was wonderful; I wish it could happen again.

With their cheeks flushed, Crimson and Ash, the two little girls who had just received treatment, seemed to be thinking about something inappropriate for children, and their eyes became a little moist.

The others clearly had the same thought. Bai Lan's smile remained unchanged, but a hint of envy flickered in her eyes. Bai Yu, Luo Zi, and Le Hei made no attempt to hide their envy. Even the previously cold and indifferent Snake Heart now looked at Zhen Hong and the others with a hint of hostility.

At this moment, the blood-red humanoid figure had completely transformed into Yuan Yuan's likeness. He coldly surveyed the crowd, remaining silent. The group of small snakes, upon Yuan Yuan's appearance, felt a suffocating pressure and were unable to utter a sound.

Observing the seven small snakes, Yuan Yuan pondered to himself. The progress of these snakes' strength was mostly as he had expected. After all, he had created them himself, and he could deduce their changes in a short period of time.

The only thing that surprised Yuan Yuan was Shinku. In Yuan Yuan's original calculations, Shinku, whose strength was based on madness, should have far surpassed the strength of the children like Minghui, whose strength was based on obsession, and be similar to Shexin and Bailan.

But unexpectedly, although True Crimson is much stronger than Ash and the others, he is still far inferior to Snake Heart and the others who are also based on madness.

Although it was also madness, compared to the arrogance and unwavering conviction born from my and Ikkyu's absolute beliefs, the anger accumulated from the vast amount of negative emotions in the old hell was ultimately insufficient.

Having made his judgment, Yuan Yuan was somewhat disappointed, but he did not show it. His expression remained cold as he slowly spoke.
