Chapter 160: Chapter 160: I’ll Be Waiting for You in the Royal Capital, My Dear Lord Blood Progenitor!
At the same time.
A barren plain hundreds of miles from the range of The Crimson See.
Lilith staggered to a halt, her face somewhat pale.
"Why aren’t you continuing to run, my dear Lord Blood Progenitor~"
A mocking voice arose behind her.
The Demon God leisurely strolled forward, a cat-and-mouse smile on his lips.
As someone at the Monarch Peak, Lilith, who had fallen to Commander Level strength, could hardly shake him off.
Now, this Lord Blood Progenitor seemed to have realized this and actually took the initiative to stop.
"Lord Blood Progenitor, have you thought it through? Are you planning to voluntarily hand over your Divine Pattern!"
Lilith lifted her gaze to the demon in front of her, a trace of disdain flickering in her scarlet pupils.
If not for her weakened strength, such a Monarch Peak Demon God could be casually extinguished by her.
But now...
Her pale lips curled into a mocking arc.
"Want the Divine Pattern? Then come and take it yourself!"
"You’ve been following me without daring to make a move, seems you’re not very confident in your strength."
"But this also suits your identity..."
Lilith chuckled lightly and shook her head, "After all, your Deceiver Clan is the weakest existence among the Demon Clan."
"Monarch Peak is your limit! Totem Level? Heh... forget about it in this lifetime."
These words were like a sharp knife, piercing precisely into the opponent’s most painful weakness.
Although the Deceiver Clan could change form at will.
Human Race, Demon Clan, Xenos, they could disguise as any race.
However...
Their actual combat power wasn’t particularly strong.
Compared to a Monarch Peak Demon Lord, his strength was not much stronger.
Although it was an unspoken truth among the entire Demon Clan, being exposed by Lilith in person...
His face instantly turned as dark as water, with demonic qi violently surging around him.
"Calling you Lord Blood Progenitor, did you really think you were something?"
"Now you’re nothing but a pathetic soon-to-be dead person!"
His features twisted with anger.
"As long as I kill you and absorb your Divine Pattern, I will surely advance further, stepping into the Totem Level!"
"By then, no one would dare look down on our Deceiver Clan!"
Hearing these words, Lilith merely lifted her gaze calmly:
"Then you... try!"
Before the words even fell, a massive blood-red light erupted around her.
"Immortal Blood Body!"
Under the influence of this skill, her attributes sharply increased.
At the same time, she also simultaneously activated her domain.
"Blood Domain!"
Yet the Demon God snorted with a laugh.
Now Lilith’s level was nothing more than Commander Peak.
While he was at Monarch Peak!
Even though Lilith previously reached Totem Level and possessed strong combat experience.
In the face of such a huge gap, there was no chance of defeating him.
"Demon God Domain!"
The pitch-black demonic qi surged like a tide, instantly devouring and compressing Lilith’s Blood Domain.
In the face of this overwhelming power, the Blood Domain retreated step by step, ultimately only barely protecting the three-meter range around Lilith.
"Blood Progenitor, yield the Divine Pattern! I might spare your life!"
"Heh..."
Lilith sneered coldly and suddenly raised her hand to shoot a crimson Blood Arrow.
The Demon God dismissively waved his hand, with his demonic qi instantly forming a jet-black shield.
"Bang!"
The Blood Arrow hit the shield without causing even a ripple.
"Stop wasting your efforts, you are not my match."
Despite saying this, his eyes remained ever-vigilant.
Judging from the strength of that attack just now, although Lilith was currently only at Commander Level, her actual combat strength was undoubtedly at Monarch Level.
Yet Lilith did not respond and in the next moment, three more Blood Arrows shot towards this demon.
He raised his hand to deflect them once more, but his brow furrowed ever tighter.
Knowing full well these attacks were ineffective, why did this Blood Progenitor keep repeating them?
Something’s not right...
Just as doubt arose in his mind, the corner of his eye suddenly caught sight of the ground.
Unnoticed, the blood droplets deflected earlier had slithered like living creatures to his feet!
"Damn it!"
The Demon God’s hairs stood on end.
The Blood Clan’s most terrifying aspect was their absolute control over blood!
That blood was undoubtedly deliberate on Lilith’s part.
He violently attempted to retreat but heard Lilith’s icy voice explode by his ear:
"Blood Freeze!"
The Demon God’s form abruptly stiffened, with the rushing demon blood in his veins instantly solidifying.
In that split second...
The blood on the ground wriggled strangely, forming into Lilith’s shape within the blink of an eye.
"You——"
Watching Lilith so close, the Demon God’s pupils constricted fiercely.
But Lilith’s movements were more decisive than he had imagined...
She abruptly compressed her Blood Domain to its limit.
Scarlet light condensed into a dazzling Blood Pearl in her palm.
She understood, with the current power disparity between her and this demon.
Even pushing her strength to the limit wouldn’t grant her victory over this demon.
Therefore, she had prepared long before.
To sacrifice this body!
In doing so, she not only could escape.
But she could also use the abandoned body to severely wound this demon.
At this moment, looking at the demon so near, a smile appeared on Lilith’s lips.
"Until we meet again!"
In the next moment.
"Boom——!!"
The compressed Blood Pearl exploded with incredible force, and a violent storm of energy swept across kilometers in an instant.
In the doomsday-like energy storm, Lilith’s figure was instantly torn to shreds.
And the Demon God exerted all his strength to expand the Demon God Domain, with demonic qi condensing into layers of shields over his body like a tide.
"Crash!——"
However, against the self-destructive power of the Blood Domain, these defenses shattered one after another like paper.
The explosion’s shock wave swept across several miles, flattening everything in its path.
Long after...
In the charred ground at the explosion’s center, a wisp of demonic qi struggled to re-coalesce.
The form of the Deceiver reemerged, now utterly haggard.
His previous grace was no more, his face an ashen pale.
During that explosion, he had nearly lost half his life.
"Cough... Cough...."
He vomited a few mouthfuls of pitch-black demon blood, wiping the blood from his mouth with trembling fingers.
"Truly worthy of the once Totem Level Blood Progenitor! Such a discrepancy in power, yet still able to bite back at me..."
"But..."
"The Divine Pattern, I must have it!"
"Dear Blood Progenitor, you can’t escape...."
A surge of violent demonic qi erupted from within him, instantly enveloping kilometers.
Sensing the summons, low-level Demon Clan swarmed like a tide, unwitting of the fate awaiting them.
"Slosh——"
The sound of claws tearing through flesh continually echoed.
The Deceiver harvested his kin’s lives mercilessly, restoring his strength by consuming their demonic qi.
With the absorption of each trace of demonic qi, his pale face regained some color.
Amidst the slaughter, his gaze locked firmly in the direction of the Crimson Capital.
No matter where Lilith fled...
In the end, she would return to the capital!
A cruel arc curled on his lips.
"I’ll wait for you in the capital..."
"Dear Blood Progenitor..."
...
