315: Blood God Son

As the massive blood-red pillar shot into the sky, the firmament, which had just cleared of tribulation clouds, was illuminated with a dazzling, blood-red glow.

Beside Xiao Zhuo, Yue Li's figure suddenly appeared.

“Junior Brother, I have already messaged Revered Master!” Yue Li spoke with extreme speed, “This commotion must be Old Ghost Blood Demon having repaired his damaged Dao Fruit! Junior Martial Uncle Heitian’s Dao injury has not yet healed, but Revered Master will arrive personally soon!” As she spoke, she grabbed Xiao Zhuo, and the two instantly returned to Nuna City Lord’s Mansion.

Boom—!

Almost simultaneously, countless blood-colored figures surged out from the abyss like a breached dam!

A thick, nauseating aura of blood-fiend Qi permeated the heavens and earth.

Xiao Zhuo's Divine Sense swept out, and his heart immediately tensed—as far as his eyes could see, there were no less than ten billion of them!

“These blood shadows… are not living beings!” Xiao Zhuo’s eyes darkened slightly, his tone grave.

“They must be Blood God Spawns nurtured by the Blood Prison!” Yue Li’s expression was normal, as if she had expected it.

“Blood God Spawns?”

“The Blood Prison Abyss is inherently a Holy Land of the blood Dao, with a Myriad Spirits Blood Pool hidden beneath it. Legend has it that the blood of all beings that perish in the Demon Realm will eventually flow into this pool. Blood God Spawns are blood Puppets refined from the essence blood of that pool!” Yue Li explained, her gaze fixed on the boundless, blood-colored tide.

“There are ten billion of them? And each one's aura has reached the quasi-Devil King level… This battle, I fear, will not be easy!” Xiao Zhuo's heart trembled slightly at her words. The terrifying depth of the Blood Prison’s foundation far exceeded his previous imagination.

From the mouth of the abyss, Blood God Spawns continued to gush out endlessly.

The blood shadows at the very front were already less than a hundred li from Nuna City!

“These monsters can erode the Physical Body and possess hosts, but their lifespan is at most one day. Even if the Blood Prison exhausts its full foundation, ten billion should be their limit.” Though Yue Li’s tone was calm, it carried a subtle, almost imperceptible hint of worry, “They pose limited threat to beings who control the power of the Great Dao, but ordinary Corpse Soldiers… would be hard-pressed to resist them.”

“Senior Sister, there must be a way to counter such evil creatures, right?” Xiao Zhuo pressed.

Yue Li nodded: “Naturally. Although Blood God Spawns are ferocious, they fear fire and cold, and cannot tolerate even a trace of thunder power!”

“In that case…” A glint of eagerness flashed in Xiao Zhuo’s eyes, “Junior Brother will go and test the mettle of these Blood God Spawns!”

Before his words finished, his figure had already vanished from his original spot!

“Junior Brother, be careful! They can fuse with each other, accumulating like grains of sand to form a tower! If there are enough of them, even a Devil King must be cautious!” Yue Li’s warning came a step too late.

Almost simultaneously, a trace of astonishment flashed in her eyes—Nuna City’s protective barrier was indestructible, and space was sealed, with the core of the grand formation under her control, yet Xiao Zhuo was able to pass through without any warning?

Such a method was unfathomable even to her, a Peak Corpse King.

A hundred li away, at the front lines of the blood tide.

Countless blood shadows streaked across the sky; they had no Physical Body, only distorted human-shaped outlines condensed from viscous blood.

Xiao Zhuo abruptly appeared in the center of the blood tide, his immense life energy like a lighthouse in the dark, instantly attracting the attention of all the surrounding Blood God Spawns!

Countless blood shadows shrieked, changing direction, transforming into streaks of blood arrows that frantically pounced towards him!

Facing this sky-obscuring, bloody tide, Xiao Zhuo’s lips curved into a smile.

Om!

The black and red blood god armor instantly covered his body, and the dark, God-Slaying Blood Flame roared, instantly transforming the hundred-zhang area around him into a boiling sea of blood-colored fire!

The Blood God Spawns that rushed into the sea of fire were immediately entangled by the blood flames.

However, the God-Slaying Blood Flame, renowned for its ability to erode all things, now encountered an obstacle!

Although the blood flames could dissolve these blood-water Puppets, the speed was exceptionally slow—it took a full ten breaths for a single Blood God Spawn to completely disintegrate.

“Hmm? It’s not working?” Beneath his faceplate, Xiao Zhuo frowned slightly, a little surprised. “The God-Slaying Blood Flame primarily erodes, and these Blood God Spawns are inherently corrupt, so it’s not too surprising!”

His thoughts raced, and he instantly switched tactics.

The Dao of Fire was activated, and the Zizai Tian Shu (Freedom Heaven Art) circulated!

Roar—!

Nine clusters of blazing flames rose from his palm, expanding violently against the wind!

In the blink of an eye, nine thousand-zhang fiery Dragons with fearsome scales roared out, their Dragon bodies coiling, their fierce flames burning the sky!

Wherever the fiery Dragons passed, the nearby Blood God Spawns instantly erupted in acrid green smoke, evaporating in large swaths like melting ice and snow!

The efficiency was more than a hundred times faster than the God-Slaying Blood Flame!

In an instant, Xiao Zhuo was enveloped by a thick, crimson blood mist, reeking of a foul stench, within which a faint poisonous aura permeated.

Xiao Zhuo immediately held his breath, and World Power surged, forming an invisible barrier around him, isolating the poisonous mist.

“Though fire can kill them, it leaves endless toxins… Let’s try ice!”

As the thought arose, a biting cold burst forth from around him!

“Condense!”

With a low shout, an extreme cold wave, visible to the naked eye, spread out with a roar!

Crackling—!

The ice wave swept for dozens of li! The tens of thousands of Blood God Spawns that were just baring their fangs and claws a moment ago were instantly frozen solid, transforming into a horrifying, crimson ice sculpture cluster of grotesque poses!

Xiao Zhuo nodded slightly; the art of ice sealing was indeed cleaner and more efficient against these creatures than fire attacks.

Then… lightning!

A point of purple light shot from his fingertip, soaring a thousand zhang into the sky!

Zzzzt—Boom!

The purple light exploded, and an incomparably massive thunder giant tree materialized out of thin air! Thousands of thick purple electric branches writhed like mad pythons, lashing down fiercely at the blood tide below!

Whack! Whack! Whack!

Countless purple lightning whip marks tore through the Void Realm!

Any Blood God Spawn struck by them didn't even have time to scream; its structure instantly collapsed, directly exploding into puddles of foul blood that fell from the sky like a torrential downpour!

A hundred li away, Yue Li witnessed this scene, her eyes continuously flashing with brilliant light.

A thousand li away, in another medium-sized city.

At this moment, the pale protective barrier of the city was covered with dense, blood-colored figures, like maggots clinging to bone, making one's scalp tingle.

Large areas of crimson spread across the barrier's surface, the signs of corrosion horrifying to behold.

On the city wall, a Corpse General looked at this terrifying sight, a cold arc forming on his lips: “It’s almost time… Activate the formation!”

Om—!

A massive formation diagram, covering the entire city, suddenly lit up around the city!

Countless profound fire runes ascended from the formation's foundation, transforming into fiery birds of flame that shrieked as they pounced towards the barrier!

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle…!

The unsuspecting Blood God Spawns were swept up and devoured by the fiery birds, instantly refined into rolling thick smoke!

“Hmph, Old Ghost Blood Demon! We’ve long been prepared for this move of yours!” Yue Li’s Divine Thought covered most of the Blood Prison territory, with the battle situations of various cities clear in her mind, evidently having countermeasures for the Blood God Spawns.

However, a sudden change occurred on Xiao Zhuo’s side!

After he had annihilated over a million Blood God Spawns, the subsequent surging blood tide no longer charged at him. Instead, as if possessing intelligence, it consciously began to bypass him, this hard bone, splitting into two blood-colored torrents that continued to rush towards Nuna City!

Xiao Zhuo was about to intercept, but his movements suddenly froze!

His gaze, like lightning, shot a thousand li away—

There, an astonishing number of Blood God Spawns were gathering frantically!

They no longer maintained human form but decomposed and fused with each other, transforming into a constantly expanding, colossal viscous blood sphere, already a hundred zhang in diameter!

The hundred-zhang blood sphere was like a pulsating heart; each contraction devoured more Blood God Spawns, and each expansion emitted an even more suffocating evil pressure!

In just a few breaths, the blood sphere had swelled to ten thousand zhang tall, its outline twisting and stretching, finally transforming into a towering, blood-colored giant that reached the heavens and earth!

The giant's eyes were two massive, constantly rotating blood-colored swirl, hollow and greedy, scanning its surroundings.

It had no vocal organs, but a violent will filled with malice and destruction, like a tangible shockwave, swept across the entire battlefield!

It finally locked onto Xiao Zhuo, and simultaneously, its long legs began to move, attacking Xiao Zhuo!
