652: Mutation

"Die!"

In the sky, Alvos frowned, and the boundless Blood Sea formed by the spreading Qi behind him surged violently.

One by one, hideous and terrifying Blood Beasts, dozens of meters tall, emerged from it, charging madly towards Yang Daoming.

"Alvos is really going to fight?"

Beside them, Vickers and Aristide showed surprise in their eyes upon seeing this scene.

They rushed up simply to pressure Blue Star to end the World Contention and retrieve their participants.

They weren't prepared for a real war.

However, Alvos was truly enraged now, and they couldn't hold him back.

"Alvos just wants to spar with your Marshal, why are you all so angry? Let's have some fun too."

Vickers stepped forward, and the surging blood light transformed into a hideous monster a hundred zhang tall with two wings on its back, blocking the Nine-Rotation Kings from Blue Star who had activated their battle formation.

On the other side, Aristide also showed no weakness. His body remained still, but blood light surged behind him, and as space trembled, countless free-floating magical energies swarmed, converging behind him into a blood-colored crescent moon radiating an eerie glow, blocking Charles who came to meet him.

In an instant, the sky was divided into three areas, with Yang Daoming facing Alvos alone.

However, at this moment, Yang Daoming's face showed no fear.

"Mere parlor tricks!"

His expression was calm as he took a step forward, facing the hideous Blood Beasts charging at him.

At the same time, a light wheel radiating an incomparably scorching Qi suddenly rose behind him. It floated above his head like the sun, emitting endless light.

This falling light was like a sharp sword, slicing all the charging, hideous Blood Beasts into pieces.

"So you rely on this Divine Artifact. No wonder you have the confidence to face me alone."

Upon seeing this, Alvos's face flashed with a hint of apprehension.

With his strength, he easily penetrated the endless light and saw the true form of the light wheel.

It was an ancient bronze mirror with carvings of flowers, plants, and beasts on its surface, enveloped by a dense Law.

The Blood Clan and Blue Star had been enemies for hundreds of years, and most of their trump cards were no longer secrets.

Alvos recognized this bronze mirror as the Haotian Mirror, a Divine Artifact that was Blue Star's ultimate trump card.

This Divine Artifact was vastly different from the Wind's Sorrow that Wang Chen obtained in the Huiguang World.

Wind's Sorrow could only be considered a Sun-tier equipment, while the Haotian Mirror was above Sun-tier equipment, a true Divine Artifact with infinite power, capable of inflicting damage on an 11th Stage.

With a Divine Artifact in hand, Yang Daoming's combat power, even as a pseudo-11th Stage achieved through a military formation, was absolutely not to be underestimated.

"Troublesome. In this case, I will hardly gain an advantage against him."

Alvos secretly thought it was tricky.

His sudden move just now was merely to put pressure on Yang Daoming and Blue Star, to show them the Blood Clan's determination and convince them to agree to end the World Contention.

But now, it seemed that acting rashly was a miscalculation.

If this continued, a bloody battle would be inevitable, and the Blood Clan was not prepared for a full-scale war with Blue Star right now.

"Yang Daoming, let's have a fight today. If I win, the World Contention ends, and the ownership of the Medium World goes to your Blue Star."

"If you win, the World Contention continues."

Alvos's expression was grave as he looked at Yang Daoming and proposed a suggestion.

He could not bear the responsibility of initiating a full-scale war, nor did he want to see his descendants annihilated in the World Contention.

At this moment, he could only propose this method of resolving the dispute through a duel between the two sides.

However, as soon as he finished speaking, a strange tremor suddenly appeared in his heart.

And it wasn't just him; Vickers and Aristide, who were blocking the Blue Star Kings, also felt the same tremor in their hearts at this moment.

At this moment.

In the ethereal realm, they saw a boundless, blood-colored ocean spanning heaven and earth.

This blood-colored ocean was turbid and crimson, with a heavy scent of blood filling the air, clearly formed from congealed fresh blood.

Boom!

Deep within the calm blood-colored ocean, thunderous roars echoed, and the quietly flowing fresh blood at this moment churned into towering waves.

"Blood River summons?"

"What happened? Why did such a strange phenomenon suddenly appear?"

"Why do I feel as if the Blood River is weeping?"

The sudden change caused the expressions of Alvos, Vickers, and Aristide, the three Blood Clan Great Lords, to change drastically.

The Blood River was their primal birthplace, the source of the Blood Clan's Bloodline, condensed by the Progenitor with supreme power.

Ordinarily, even they, these noble Blood Clan Great Lords, would need to burn incense and meditate to slowly summon the Blood River to perceive it.

But today, it just appeared so suddenly.

This had never happened before!

"What on earth happened?"

"The Blood River appeared, but why do I not sense the Progenitor's Qi?"

"No, a great change must have occurred in the homeland!"

Vickers and Alvos were terrified, no longer caring about the Blood Clan participants in the World Contention, only wanting to understand the reason for the Blood River's change.

One must know that the Blood River was the Foundation of the Blood Clan; any turmoil or upheaval there would be a major event affecting the entire race!

Rumble!

Rumble!

Rumble!

The winds and waves in the Blood River grew increasingly turbulent, its calm surface boiling as if it were being cooked.

Countless amounts of Qi were evaporated into the sky, condensing into an incredibly massive face.

This face was blurry and indistinct, but one could feel the infinite despair and pain emanating from it.

"Progenitor?"

"What happened?"

"The Progenitor and the Blood River are of the same Origin and are one entity. Why is there such a strange phenomenon now?"

The Blood River was formed and manifested from the Blood Clan Progenitor's Origin power when he achieved the 11th Stage; it could be considered the Blood Clan Progenitor himself.

The appearance of such a change at this moment caused a rare sense of dread to appear in the hearts of Alvos and the other three Blood Clan Great Lords, along with an indescribable sorrow, as if something incredibly important was about to leave them.

Rumble!

The abnormality of the Blood River grew even grander, its surging waves reaching immeasurable heights, as if touching the very peak of the heavens.

And at the same time, the unfathomably deep Blood River revealed the dry, withered ground beneath, which had not been exposed to sight for hundreds of thousands of years, revealing countless cracks, stretching for unknown miles, as if connecting to the abyss.

"This..."

Just as Alvos and the other three Blood Clan Great Lords were horrified by the sight they beheld, the terrifying cracks continued to expand.

Boom!

A thunderous explosion, as if the heavens and earth were being split open, resounded, and the vast and boundless Blood River was suddenly torn into several pieces, its almost infinite fresh blood swallowed completely by the abyss-like cracks.

The Blood River, shattered, devoured!!

This incredibly terrifying scene directly stunned Alvos and the other three Blood Clan Great Lords.

An indescribable horror and fear assaulted their minds.
