Chapter 374: Chapter 374: Turmoil Among Top Dynasties, Blood Clouds Fill the Sky as Demonic Fiends Emerge

Dan Yan Zhenren pulled out a jade bottle, carefully sealing that wisp of blood aura inside, then prepared to leave with Daoist Dan Hai and others.

At that moment.

The Communication Jade Talisman vibrated.

A phantom abruptly appeared before them.

“We greet the Sect Master!”

Dan Yan Zhenren and the others bowed in salute.

The person in front of them was none other than Danyang Zhenren.

“The latest news has come in: The Ancient Sea Dynasty is shrouded in a blood cloud, the entire dynasty sealed off by it, with a large number of civilians drained of their essence blood, suspected to be the work of the Demon Dao.

Fortunately, an isolated Void Refining expert within the Ancient Sea Dynasty took timely action, breaking through the blood cloud’s seal while the Demon Dao fiend was negligent, thus sending this message out.

You are to proceed to the Ancient Sea Dynasty immediately, to slay the Demon Dao fiend!”

After saying this.

Danyang Zhenren dispersed and vanished.

He was not the real Danyang Zhenren, merely a Divine Thought Incarnation used for transmitting messages, which naturally dissipates once the message is conveyed.

Hearing Danyang Zhenren’s words, Dan Yan Zhenren’s eyes instantly flashed with a cold light.

“The blood cloud over the Ancient Sea Dynasty; the Demon Dao fiend responsible must be the perpetrator of the Great Yan Dynasty massacre. I thought after destroying the Great Yan Dynasty, he would lay low for a while, but surprisingly he has set his sights on the Ancient Sea Dynasty so soon.”

The Ancient Sea Dynasty does not border the Great Yan Dynasty; it’s separated by a region in between.

In terms of strength, the Ancient Sea Dynasty is considerably stronger than the Great Yan Dynasty, with several Unity Stage experts within the royal family, and a few Void Refining experts in other sects.

Unlike the Great Yan Dynasty.

The Ancient Sea Dynasty didn’t put all its eggs in one basket; any royal family member with extraordinary talent joined different sects.

Because of this.

The power dynamics within the Ancient Sea Dynasty are intricate, allowing it to grow step by step into one of the top-tier existences among mortal dynasties today.

If the Ancient Sea Dynasty fully harnessed its potential, it might even be able to contend with top-tier sects, except that no Tribulation Stage experts have emerged as of yet.

Otherwise.

The Ancient Sea Dynasty would indeed be a top-tier sect.

Even within the Nine Yang Sect, there are royal descendants of the Ancient Sea Dynasty cultivating, just not at the Elder level yet.

“With the Demon Dao fiend emerging, we must not waste time; let’s go and eliminate that fiend as soon as possible!”

Daoist Dan Hai was also somewhat impatient.

The tragedy of the Great Yan Dynasty stirred a murderous intent within him, eager to crush the Demon Dao fiend’s bones to ashes.

Moreover.

The fiend massacres civilians, extracting their essence blood, clearly to cultivate some domineering Demon Technique. If he continues, he may become an unparalleled demonic threat.

Such a scenario is not what Daoist Dan Hai wishes to see.

As Daoist Dan Hai’s words fell, the other two wasted no time, immediately flying towards the Ancient Sea Dynasty.

…

In the Ancient Sea Dynasty.

The blood cloud roiled.

Massive amounts of living beings’ essence blood were extracted and merged into the blood cloud, while Blood Transformation Ancestor now resided at its center, with pure energy continuously pouring into him, causing his aura to escalate.

Below, the once-majestic capital of the Ancient Sea Dynasty had become a desolate ruin.

A severed, grotesque head was casually discarded on the rubble.

This head.

Belonged to the reclusive Void Refining expert of the Ancient Sea Dynasty.

When he decided to target the Ancient Sea Dynasty, Blood Transformation Ancestor initially intended to silently extinguish it, using the dynasty’s aura and blood to refine Blood Pills, aiding his breakthrough to the Tribulation Stage.

But unexpectedly.

The Ancient Sea Dynasty hid a reclusive Void Refining expert, and this expert wasn’t weak, having reached mid-phase Void Refining.

In a desperate attack, the expert managed to tear through the blood cloud and send the message out.

This action.

Unquestionably disrupted Blood Transformation Ancestor’s plans.

Initially.

After annihilating the Great Yan Dynasty, with blood pills formed from the dynasty’s living beings, Blood Transformation Ancestor easily reached the peak of complete Void Refining, just one step away from breaking through to the Tribulation Stage.

If he could also sacrifice the Ancient Sea Dynasty, he could completely condense a mid-grade Blood Pill.

Consuming such a blood pill, Blood Transformation Ancestor was confident he could not only break through to the Tribulation Stage, but also further advance within it afterward.

But now.

The news leaked.

Blood Transformation Ancestor understood he no longer had time to slowly condense the Blood Pill.

Now he could only directly seize the living aura and blood of the Ancient Sea Dynasty, forcibly using the essence blood’s power to aid his breakthrough. Although doing so would result in significant essence blood dissipation, falling short compared to the Blood Pill, Blood Transformation Ancestor had no other choice.

If he didn’t break through.

His efforts would be for naught this time.

Additionally, with this news out, all major sects would be alerted, and once they thoroughly investigate, they would realize the Blood Transformation Demon Sect was responsible, leading to an inevitable alliance against them. How would he resist then?

“I, the Ancestor, must break through to the Tribulation Stage; no one can stop me. Once I break through, with my Celestial Demon True Technique at Great Success, who could dare oppose me!”

Blood Transformation Ancestor’s face twisted savagely, masses of essence blood pouring into him, making him feel the doorway to the Tribulation Stage was faintly opening, an ominous oppressive force seemingly ready to descend at any moment.

Blood Transformation Ancestor understood that this oppression was the Celestial Tribulation.

Once he truly broke the limits of the Void Refining Phase, opening the door to the Tribulation Stage, the Celestial Tribulation would naturally arrive.

Once he crossed the Celestial Tribulation, he would become a true Tribulation Stage expert, enjoying a lifespan of four thousand years.

The Void Refining Phase allows one to live three thousand years.

The Tribulation Stage grants four thousand years.

The allure of an additional thousand-year lifespan is self-evident.

Not to mention.

The power increase brought by breaking through to the Tribulation Stage.

Just then.

Several terrifying forces suddenly descended, directly ripping apart vast areas of the blood cloud, exposing Blood Transformation Ancestor to the open air.

The unexpected turn of events infuriated Blood Transformation Ancestor.

Upon seeing the arriving experts, his eyes turned cold.

“The Nine Yang Sect, I didn’t expect your sect to be the first to arrive!”

The arriving experts were indeed Dan Yan Zhenren and the other Nine Yang Sect Elders.

Upon witnessing Blood Transformation Ancestor’s form, Dan Yan Zhenren was also incensed: “Blood Transformation Ancestor, so it really is you. Wantonly massacring the dynasty’s people like this is inhumane and everyone must condemn you.

Today, this humble Daoist will eradicate evil and uphold justice, to honor the souls of the deceased!”

As he finished speaking.

Dan Yan Zhenren wasted no time, immediately striking at Blood Transformation Ancestor.

Despite the current terrifying aura of Blood Transformation Ancestor, far surpassing his past self, he had yet to break through to the Tribulation Stage, thus Dan Yan Zhenren was unafraid.

After all, the Nine Yang Sect had brought three Void Refining experts this time, and with the Ancient Sea Dynasty’s information leak, other sect experts were also arriving one after another.

The Nine Yang Sect did not need to kill him; they just needed to hold back Blood Transformation Ancestor until the other sect experts arrived, sealing his fate.
