The strength and weakness of a King's realm primarily lie in how many minor laws of the Great Dao they comprehend within their own. The more they grasp, the greater their power.
Xue Jiareis was stronger than Kings of the same realm under normal circumstances.
The three laws of Blood Splitting, Blood Movement, and Blood Trapping were part of the Great Dao of Blood, and though incomplete, they possessed terrifying power.
When Xue Jiareis went all out, he could even transform the sky and earth into a world of blood.
For the undead legions had already arrived at Blood Light City like a tide, encircling it tightly.
Time passed, and countless terrifying undead had assembled, awaiting a single command to launch their assault.
Suddenly, without any warning, three bell tolls echoed through the vicinity.
"Dong~~ Dong~~~ Dong~~~~"
These three bell tolls signaled the prelude to the undead army's attack.
This simple ringing of bells sounded the horn for the decisive battle between the Blood race and the undead!
...
From afar, tens of thousands of bone dragons gathered in the sky, resembling a dense mass of gray clouds, swarming towards them.
Myriad skeletal soldiers, archers, knights, and colossal beasts of the undead race, led by their lords, advanced ceaselessly towards Blood Light City.
From every direction, an endless white tide surged, an unending stream of undead warriors assaulting the blood.
One hundred thousand colossal skeletal beasts charged at the forefront, followed closely by millions of skeletal soldiers, archers, and knights. Without hesitation, these undead launched a desperate charge towards Blood Light City.
...
During their first encounter, the Blood race, with their intelligence, had tricked the undead.
From then on, a deep animosity festered between the two races.
In the beginning, it was manageable. The undead, aware of their inferiority, did not cause much trouble.
However, after a million years, the undead, in their quest to reclaim lost territories, launched a grand war roughly every ten thousand years.
This current battle held unprecedented significance, as the undead had escalated the conflict with the resolve to annihilate the Blood race.
This battle would determine which race, the Blood or the undead, would gain the upper hand.
"Boom!"
"Boom boom boom!"
...
The earth trembled, the sky trembled, and the entire Blood Light City shook.
...
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
"Kill!"
The Dukes and Counts of the Blood race exchanged glances. Relying on Blood Light City's protective array, they met the onslaught fearlessly.
Shouts and the clamor of battle echoed incessantly...
Blood-red battle banners fluttered, painting the scene with a chilling aura of slaughter. A dark red blood curtain enveloped the battlefield, spanning one hundred thousand li.
Without any pre-battle pronouncements, both the Blood race and the undead shared a single thought: kill everything in sight!
"Screech!" "Screech!" "Screech!" "Screech!"
Fueled by surging battle intent and killing intent, the Blood race and the undead engaged in a frenzied slaughter.
...
"All of you, die for this lord!"
"Take your lives, you brats, hahaha..."
Chaos and horrific scenes unfolded repeatedly across the vast battlefield.
In the sky, while the bone dragons possessed formidable individual strength, they were vastly outnumbered by flying blood beasts such as bat demons, eagle demons, and three-headed demonic birds.
A single bat demon, eagle demon, or three-headed demonic bird would have been mere sustenance for a bone dragon.
However, in large numbers, forming a blood beast tide, even the most powerful bone dragons were rendered useless.
One by one, their corpses rained down from the sky like dumplings.
There were bone dragons, and there were also bat demons, eagle demons, and three-headed demonic birds...
...
The Blood race within and outside the city, along with skeletal soldiers, archers, and knights, suffered even greater casualties.
Blood and corpses littered the ground, with scattered limbs and shattered ruins. It was a brutal, world-shaking battle.
...
An elder, clad in a grey Taoist robe emanating a hazy white glow, sat within an undead warship. Though he appeared benevolent and kind-faced, the ebb and flow of his laws indicated he was no ordinary individual.
His name was Gao Qiao Hao, and he commanded two major branch laws within the Great Dao of Death: the Law of Erosion of Death and the Law of Necromancy.
While not as powerful as Xue Jiareis in Blood Light City, if they were to clash, Xue Jiareis might not be able to defeat him.
On a bone dragon comparable to a Nascent Soul stage cultivator, Gong Fengdi gazed at the sky. Unlike other undead kings, Gong Fengdi commanded four branch laws within the Great Dao of Wind: the Law of Tearing, the Law of Speed, the Law of Supreme Intent, and the Law of Whirlwind.
Gong Fengdi, wielding the low-grade spiritual treasure Windling Bag, continuously battered Blood Light City's protective array with gusts of wind.
Thousands of winds appeared, whirlwinds raged across the land, and the laws of wind surged, overwhelming everything. Blood Light City's protective array flickered, appearing precarious.
The Blood race, who had intended to rely on Blood Light City's protective array to resist the undead invasion, was instantly filled with despair.
"How can this be? Heavens! Without Blood Light City's protective array, with our meager numbers, we might not last a month!"
"Impossible, this is absolutely impossible! Blood Light City's protective array is so powerful, even the Blood King couldn't have caused such severe damage so easily!"
"It's over, this city cannot be held..."
"The enemy numbers in the tens of millions, we only have hundreds of thousands, how can we defend it?"
"Where are the reinforcements? Where are they?"
"Damn it, you scoundrels! We're here fighting desperately, and they're not coming to save us. Don't they understand the principle of 'lips and teeth'?"
Witnessing the desperate charge of the ten-million-strong undead army, many of the Blood race lost their confidence.
Especially the tottering protective array, which filled their eyes with despair.
Xue Jiareis was currently locked in combat with Gao Qiao Hao, their clash ranging from laws to spiritual treasures.
Although Xue Jiareis held the upper hand, dominating Gao Qiao Hao, the situation below in Blood Light City forced him to disengage.
The two balls of light locked in combat in the sky suddenly separated. From the larger one, a furious voice boomed, echoing around them.
"Gao Qiao Hao, Gong Fengdi, are you mad? To go to such lengths to attack my Blood Light City, aren't you afraid of being ambushed from behind by other races, your own strongholds being overturned?"
As this voice resonated, a stillness seemed to fall upon the vicinity of Blood Light City. Even the sounds of slaughter outside the city were abruptly drowned out.
It was as if the heavens and earth could only accommodate this one voice. This was a glimpse into the power of Kings who commanded the laws.
"Heh heh, you don't need to worry about that. You just need to know that Blood Light City will fall."
Gong Fengdi said.
With that, Gong Fengdi waved his hand.
"Screech... Screech"
In the sky, countless winds converged, and then, these vast amounts of wind power began to compress, eventually undergoing a qualitative change.
From the sky, a swirling sphere of flowing green liquid appeared, filled entirely with wind power, it was terrifying to the extreme.
As this large sphere of green liquid flew towards Blood Light City, the next second it exploded with a "boom."
It began to rain, a rain filled with the destructive power of wind. The Blood race, who were relying on the precarious Blood Light City array to resist the undead army, heard the "pitter-patter" sound of raindrops falling.
This was like the ebb and flow of an underworld deity, a rain that reaped their souls.
The tiny green raindrops, falling like a vast blanket, descended upon Blood Light City's protective array.
As each and every green raindrop landed on the layers of defensive formations above Blood Light City...
Blood Light City's protective array began to stir with countless ripples, and even numerous large holes, several feet wide, appeared.
The protective array, which had held back the ten-million-strong undead army for five days and five nights, was like an elderly person on their last breath, who, after a push, had no resistance left and died in an instant.
The hundreds of thousands of Blood race members in Blood Light City were exposed to the eyes of the ten-million-strong undead army, with no barrier to protect them.
In the sky, Xue Jiareis's expression turned grim. He tightly gripped his low-grade spiritual treasure, the Blood Spirit Saber.
It wasn't that he didn't want to, but fighting two opponents was simply too difficult, so much so that he had no energy left to protect anyone else.
"Undead army, attack! Hahahahahaha......... I've long disliked your Blood race. Not only your Blood Light City, but all one hundred and eight of your cities, we will conquer them all."
"Go, run quickly!"
"The city has fallen, we can't hold it, flee this place quickly!"
"Save me, please save me!"
.......................................
Chaos ensued. The hundreds of thousands of Blood race members, like headless flies, were terrified and fled in all directions.
