In the grand palace, facing this terrifying pressure, ten Blood King level Blood Kings, including Xue Baal, Xue Gares, Xue Shak, Xue Mikina, Xue Lif, Xue Meng, Xue Tos, Xue Tianmeng, Xue Xin, and Xue Chu, all began to feel restless in their hearts.
As Blood Kings, they felt fear in this moment, fear of the power from the source of the Great Dao of Blood, and fear of the demise of their souls.
Chunyu looked at the ten Blood Kings who were forcibly maintaining their composure, a hint of mockery flashing in her bright eyes.
After a long while, Chunyu slowly spoke, "Well, I know. King Xue Baal, you have done very well with this matter. As for the safety of the entire Blood Clan, you do not need to worry..."
"The net has been cast. Now we just have to see if the big fish will come on its own. Next, you just need to take care of your own affairs..."
"If there is nothing else, let us discuss some other matters."
...
Xue Baal, Xue Gares, Xue Shak, Xue Mikina, Xue Lif, Xue Meng, Xue Tos, Xue Tianmeng, Xue Xin, and Xue Chu, ten Blood King level Blood Kings, all spoke up upon hearing this.
After a while, the vast Blood King's Palace became as noisy as a vegetable market.
...
This is an underground world where a hundred races coexist: Human, Undead, Yaksha, Elf, Giant, Blood Clan, War Clan, Spirit Clan, Insect Clan, Earth Dragon Clan, Flame Clan, Minotaur Clan, and Dwarf Clan.
...
In a sense, the Blood Clan is one of the hundred races, and they have the most lenient rules among all races in the entire underground world.
Throughout the ages, when the Blood Clan chooses their ruler, they have never cared about background, ability, or status.
To command the entire Blood Clan, one only needs one thing: the most powerful strength. That alone is enough.
As long as one is the strongest of the Blood Clan, they can make the entire Blood Clan their subordinate.
...
It is said that this is a rule established by the first ruler of the Blood Clan!
For hundreds of millions of years, the Blood Clan has continued this rule, and no one has dared to violate it.
Thus, Blood King Chunyu became the person with the highest authority in the Blood Clan.
...
The chivalrous trespass the law with martial arts, the Confucian disturb politics with essays, the merchants block the nation with money. Everything in this world is like this.
When your own power is enough to rival the world, to be crowned king, to ascend to the imperial throne...
Apart from the conscience and bottom line deep within your heart, nothing else in this world can restrain or control you.
And Blood King Chunyu's character, among the many humans of the Blood Clan, is generally quite good.
However, his heart has always harbored a dream that he has never told anyone.
This dream is to, after achieving the position of Emperor, transform the entire Blood Clan into a divine race like the ancient gods of the Primordial Era, holding the entire world in their palm, and toying with it at will.
To let the many tribesmen of the Blood Clan experience the feeling of becoming a divine race, with a revered status, looking down from above, suppressing billions of living beings with a single person's might, disregarding the sun and moon as nothing, and ruling and dominating the entire world.
From this perspective, perhaps, Blood King Chunyu is the best ruler in the entire history of the Blood Clan.
Of course, all of this depends on whether Blood King Chunyu can ultimately succeed. If he succeeds, the Blood Clan can rule the sky, earth, and oceans like the ancient gods of the Primordial Era, becoming a divine race among the intelligent races.
Conversely, if Blood King Chunyu leads the Blood Clan and fails to achieve this ambitious ideal of collective deification, they will be plunged into the abyss in the process, never to recover.
...
Races with wisdom and writing, unlike unintelligent races, are very strange.
When they are weak, they appear harmless, like gentle scholars.
However, once immense power returns to their own hands, and a person can wield the power to destroy the entire world, their hearts will be filled with surging desires at all times.
Human nature is the human heart.
The so-called good and evil of the human heart is merely the beneficial or harmful actions that others around you make towards yourself in a moment of thought.
This is what people often call the fickle human heart.
One thought for a god, one thought for a demon.
If there were no power strong enough to change the entire world, it would be one thing. What threat could an ordinary person pose to this world?
But once power is mastered, this desire that expands to its extreme will be released immediately, thereby devouring the entire world.
...
That day.
In the palace of the Blood King's Palace, after Blood Kings Xue Baal, Xue Gares, Xue Shak, Xue Mikina, Xue Lif, Xue Meng, Xue Tos, Xue Tianmeng, Xue Xin, and Xue Chu left.
Blood King Chunyu's originally handsome face began to twist and become ferocious.
Threads of pure blood energy continuously emanated from his body.
His blood-red hair danced in the wind, and his face, which originally had only a slight hint of wickedness, became cold and ruthless at this moment.
Purple-black blood patterns flickered on his slender body, and his bat wings behind him grew a bit longer.
And this was the feedback obtained after the blessing of destiny.
From then on, his life and the fate of the Blood Clan were intertwined.
...
The Blood Clan is surrounded by four major races: the Human Clan, the Minotaur Clan, the Undead Clan, and the Yaksha Clan.
Among these, the Blood Clan and the Yaksha Clan are allies, while the Human Clan, Minotaur Clan, and Undead Clan are enemies of the Blood Clan, especially the Undead Clan.
The Undead Clan has always coveted the territory occupied by the Blood Clan, and their territory is directly behind the Blood Clan.
Among the Undead Clan, there are eight Undead Kings, with Althas having the highest power. His cultivation realm is equivalent to the second layer of the Purple Mansion stage of the Human Clan.
For Blood King Chunyu to conquer various races and gain destiny to break through to the Emperor realm, he must first deal with the Undead Clan.
...
Thinking of this, Blood King Chunyu raised his Spring Rain Sword and slashed it towards the sky!
With a "crack"!
Ten thousand sword energies emerged, covering the sky and the earth, spanning across the horizon. An aura of destruction and annihilation enveloped the entire world.
The power was so strong, and the sharpness so keen, it was as if it intended to cleave hell in two...
This was no mere sword energy, but a power capable of destroying the world, vast and unstoppable.
The power of this aura was so strong, its killing intent so fierce, that even the heavens and earth changed color. The stars dared not obscure its sharpness, the moon retreated and disappeared, and the sun dared not disturb its fervor.
With a single sword strike, all living beings retreated, and the heavens and earth bowed.
...
To be honest, the territory where the Blood Clan is located is not particularly good. It can even be said to be an extremely harsh environment.
Looking around, most of the land is black and red. The ground is covered with undulating peaks and rifts.
Between the high mountains and the rifts, lava spews flames everywhere, and the gentle breeze carries the scent of sulfur.
On this scorched earth, blood beasts, both human-like and non-human-like, roam everywhere.
...
The news that three Blood Kings of the Blood Clan had their lifespans exhausted spread rapidly throughout the entire underground world, with the indulgence of the Blood Clan's high-ranking officials.
...
When this news first broke, it was like a giant stone thrown into a calm lake.
After causing massive waves, it swept through the Human Clan, Undead Clan, Yaksha Clan, Elf Clan, Giant Clan, Blood Clan, War Clan, Spirit Clan, Insect Clan,
igniting a hurricane that swept through the entire era.
The moment this news was released, it stirred the ambitions of countless schemers.
Many powerful beings saw this as a rare opportunity and rushed to the Blood Clan's territory.
After all, with the Blood Clan losing three Blood Kings at once, their overall strength would definitely decrease significantly. The sooner they rushed over, the better position they could secure, and they might even get a share of the spoils...
...
At the same time, the kings of the hundred races – Human Clan, Undead Clan, Yaksha Clan, Elf Clan, Giant Clan, Blood Clan, War Clan, Spirit Clan, Insect Clan, Earth Dragon Clan, Flame Clan, Minotaur Clan, and Dwarf Clan – looked up at the sky and muttered to themselves, thinking whatever was on their minds.
...
These powerful individuals, who were qualified and confident enough to step on the Blood Clan when they were weak and share a piece of the pie, regardless of their status or identity...
At this moment, they were all doing the same thing: facing the direction of the Blood Clan, looking up into the distance, their faces filled with mockery, sarcasm, anger, indifference, hatred, and greed...
Their meanings were varied, but there was not a trace of goodwill.
...
Underground World, Year 980,900,360, Month 1, Day 3!
"Boom boom boom!!!"
On this day, outside the heavily fortified border city of the Blood Clan, "Bloodlight City," countless terrifying auras surged into the sky, each occupying a region and contending with other auras, clearly demarcated and refusing to yield.
The masters of these auras were all Undead beings comparable to Nascent Soul stage or above, and there were even Undead Kings in the King realm.
Red flags symbolizing the Blood Clan fluttered on the walls of Bloodlight City.
Beneath the dense battle flags, countless fierce and bloody auras were released, filled with a sense of killing and bloodlust that shook the hearts of men.
At the central formation hub of Bloodlight City, Blood King Xue Gares sat in the topmost seat. A large number of Blood Clan powerhouses of Duke and Count ranks were on high alert.
The calm before the storm. The high-ranking officials of the Blood Clan had received the news a week prior and had sealed Bloodlight City.
Xue Gares was a first-stage Blood King, capable of using three branches of the Great Dao of Blood: Blood Splitting Law, Blood Movement Law, and Blood Trapping Law, possessing unparalleled combat power.
