522: Chapter 522 Refining the Blood Sea, the Wondrous Use of the Life-Saving Array

"Xiao Family, for the sake of the previous generation's Queen Medusa, go back and tell Xiao Lin that my Snake-people Tribe will never submit to the Xiao Family."

Mei Niang turned her head to look at Xiao Yu, her voice devoid of emotion as it filled the royal hall and spread throughout the entire Snake-people Tribe outside.

"Your Majesty, you..." The Great Elder of the Snake-people Tribe wanted to say something more.

"Presumptuous! I am the Queen!" Mei Niang suddenly rebuked him. The aura of a Five-Star Dou Zun erupted from her body without reservation, pressing down toward the four Great Elders.

Boom!

Under the furious rebuke of Mei Niang, the four Great Elders' legs went weak, and they collapsed onto the ground.

"Your Majesty, are you truly not going to consider the future of the Snake-people Tribe?" Xiao Yu took a deep breath, her tone carrying a hint of a threat.

"Hahaha! As the Queen of the Snake-people Tribe, I will consider the future. Now, leave!"

Mei Niang said indifferently.

Just as Xiao Yu was about to make a move, her expression changed. She sensed several powerful, hidden auras lurking outside the royal hall.

Once she made a move against the Snake-people Tribe, it would surely draw out those hidden experts.

Although she was a Dou Sheng level expert, she didn't dare to act before figuring out the enemy's background. After all, on the Fighting Qi Continent, there were many powerful factions that even the Xiao Family was extremely wary of.

"We're leaving!" Xiao Yu turned and walked out of the royal hall, her followers reluctantly trailing behind her.

Buzz!

Mei Niang retracted her aura and slowly landed before the throne, speaking coldly: "Four Great Elders, you may leave first!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The four Great Elders responded respectfully and slowly backed out of the hall.

"Yue Mei, all of you descend as well!" Queen Medusa said coldly from the throne.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Yue Mei and the other eight leaders withdrew with shocked gazes.

"It seems you have gained quite a significant opportunity during your journey to the outside world," Queen Medusa asked.

"Indeed. The outside world is very exciting. I have already broken through the bloodline bottleneck of the Purple Ghost Flame Python and awakened the Ancient Heavenly Serpent bloodline."

"Consequently, my strength has soared, and I have advanced to the Dou Zun level."

Mei Niang did not hide anything. Back then, if her sister hadn't looked the other way and diverted the guards watching her, Hun Tiandi wouldn't have been able to take her away so easily.

"Oh? Then have you returned this time to fight for the throne?" Queen Medusa showed a faint smile.

"Heh, the mere position of Queen of the Snake-people Tribe is something I no longer care for."

"I have returned because I want the Snake-people Tribe to join the Dazheng Dynasty. Troubled times have arrived; if we do not change, our tribe will be annihilated in the fires of war." Mei Niang's expression was solemn as she looked at the graceful figure on the throne.

"Dazheng Dynasty? How much do you know about that Emperor Hun Tiandi?"

"Completely. My current achievements are entirely thanks to him. The Dazheng Dynasty is developing rapidly now; it is the perfect time for our tribe to join."

"In the Central Plains, Hun Tiandi disrupted the Pill Gathering, wreaked havoc in the Pill World, fought with the Starfall Pavilion and Burning Flame Valley, and this time, he even snatched a bride from the Lei Clan."

"They set a trap with five Dou Sheng experts, yet they couldn't keep him there."

Mei Niang told Medusa all the information she had on Hun Tiandi.

"The Dazheng Dynasty has already grown to such an extent?" Medusa mused with emotion.

"Mm. Perhaps the fortune needed to break your bloodline shackles lies with Hun Tiandi," Mei Niang said, her eyes flickering as she informed Medusa.

"Truly? If he can really help me break through my bloodline, my Snake-people Tribe is willing to join the Dazheng Dynasty." Queen Medusa stood up excitedly.

"Tomorrow, we head to the Dazheng Dynasty." The two women reached a consensus.

"Now, it is time to deal with the tribe's affairs. Some of those damned tribal laws should also be broken."

Mei Niang said coldly. The two exchanged a look and walked toward the back palace.

Outside the Snake-people Tribe, in the Tagor Desert.

"Sister Yu, why didn't you use force to suppress the Snake-people Tribe? Even if that woman is a Dou Zun, with your strength, it would have been enough to suppress her."

A young man asked, puzzled.

"Heh, the Snake-people Tribe is truly not simple. Just as I was about to act, several hidden and powerful auras within the tribe targeted me."

"If I had acted, it would have been difficult to resolve. There's also the matter of Xiao Xiao to consider."

Xiao Yu turned to look back at the Snake-people Tribe, speaking with a sigh.

Then, with a flick of her sleeve, she swept up the others and flew toward the Jia Ma Empire.

In the Dazheng Dynasty, Hun Tiandi had been in secluded cultivation for over a month.

Hun Tiandi put away the ten thousand soul banner and simultaneously retracted his clone into his sea of consciousness. Taking a deep breath, he prepared to refine the blood sea. By now, he had prepared all the conditions to refine the Nether Blood Sea.

"The blood sea is boundless... millions of incarnations... Blood God Child..."

"Refine the essence blood of myriad spirits to forge the supreme blood body."

He carefully recalled the peerless demonic art in his mind, the Blood Scripture, which contained the method for refining a blood sea.

Hun Tiandi sat cross-legged as the Blood Scripture slowly began to circulate. Endless blood welled up from beneath the cultivation room, enveloping him.

The endless blood seemed to be drawn by that supreme demonic art, forming an invisible vortex that surged frantically into his body.

After being refined by the Blood Scripture, it transformed into a crimson stream. With a thought...

...it surged toward his energy cyclone.

"Supreme Blood Scripture, refining the blood sea, Source of the Blood God, converge in my Nether."

Hun Tiandi chanted the demonic scripture. The blood-colored stream, as if summoned, crashed violently into the Source of the Blood God deep within his vital energy.

Previously, because of the erosion from the space storm, the Source of the Blood God contained spatial power, making it the best place to store the blood sea.

"Too slow..."

Hun Tiandi felt the hunger of the Source of the Blood God within his cyclone. It released a tiny devouring force, but the growth was too slow.

He immediately activated the Absolute Life Earth Array Diagram. When this array was originally deduced, it had two purposes.

One was to firmly protect the Dazheng territory, and the second was to collect the blood of war.

Every time a war broke out and lives were lost, the endless blood was collected by the Absolute Life Earth Array Diagram, waiting for Hun Tiandi to use it for himself.

Otherwise, relying on Hun Tiandi alone to devour living beings to gather a blood sea would take a very long time.

Awoo... woo...

A nearly solid blood-colored baleful aura permeated his surroundings. The blood surging from the array diagram was filled with endless remnant souls and resentment.

It was as if they saw him as their mortal enemy, roaring and struggling within his sea of consciousness.

If it were an ordinary person, they would likely have been driven mad by the resentment of these beings long ago. However, Hun Tiandi's soul was as firm as a divine mountain, coupled with the effects of the God Refining Art.

This made his soul power far more robust than others of the same realm.

"Hmph, Sword Heart Clarity!" As resentment crashed against his sea of consciousness, Hun Tiandi shouted internally, activating Sword Heart Clarity and erupting with the supreme Killing Sword Intent.

The sharp sword intent swept through the air, slaying the endless resentment and obliterating the souls.

No longer disturbed, Hun Tiandi's comprehension of the Blood Scripture also progressed.

"The blood sea is not merely an accumulation of energy; it is the finality and sublimation of slaughter."

"Using endless slaughter to temper the sword intent, and using the resentment of all living beings as nourishment."

"Nether Blood Sea, condense for this Emperor!"

With a thought, Hun Tiandi drew in the infinite blood and endless resentment. After undergoing the refinement of the Blood Scripture, it was all poured into the Source of the Blood God.

Buzz!

The Source of the Blood God was like a hungry glutton, accepting everything. The baleful and killing aura permeating his body seemed to have found a home.

It frantically surged into the Source of the Blood God. In an instant, Hun Tiandi's entire presence became deep and even more terrifying.

A year later, after Hun Tiandi had absorbed the infinite blood accumulated by the Death-Absence Array, his secluded cultivation was truly considered complete.

The divine ability of the Nether Blood Sea, fueled by the massive amount of blood and resentment, had reached a considerable level.
