1126: Meet
Within the deathly silent City shrouded by the Black Abyss, a bloody scent permeated.
On the ground lay scattered limbs and severed legs, belonging to people who had met tragic ends.
Among them, also lay the corpses of Dark Demons who had been drained and turned into mummies!
“Gurgle gurgle~”
Beside the shattered and collapsed opulent buildings, on a patch of ruins, the Bloodcloth Old Ancestor, with two massive bloody flesh wings extending from his back and red light flashing in his pupils, was sprawled on a Dark Demon.
His mouth was firmly embedded in the monster's throat, his teeth piercing the blood vessels, as he frantically swallowed!
As the Dark Demon struggled, it gradually turned into a dried rag.
Only then did the Bloodcloth Old Ancestor rise from the creature's body, letting out a satisfied burp.
Finally, he sharply glanced at Su Liang behind him.
“You’ve delayed my matters,” the Bloodcloth Old Ancestor’s gaze held a dangerous glint, as if he would bare his fangs at Su Liang in the next moment!
“Old Ancestor, please forgive me! I didn’t expect it to turn out like this!” Su Liang’s voice was filled with fear.
His expression was the same.
Not long ago.
The Bloodcloth Old Ancestor was hungry again; he wanted to drink blood, the blood of Dark Demon.
Su Liang knew exactly what he needed to do.
He could use his own blood to make the Dark Demon sense his presence, thereby attracting them to provide to the Bloodcloth Old Ancestor.
He had performed this operation several times in the past month, and each time it had been effective within a very short period.
But this time, Su Liang had failed!
He had cut wounds on his body, letting blood flow, but it did not attract the Dark Demon again!
This had been the case for two consecutive days!
Later, it was because the Bloodcloth Old Ancestor suggested going to the Vog Country’s Imperial Palace first.
Many of the Materials for the previous potion formula had been entrusted to the King of Vog Country to find; after so much time, normally, the King of Vog Country should have found a portion.
Although the Bloodcloth Old Ancestor desired fresh blood, he understood that the medicinal Materials for the potion formula were what he needed most.
However.
Not long ago.
They arrived at Vog Country.
The result was as it is now.
The Black Abyss had spread, Dark Demons ran rampant, the entire Imperial Palace of Vog Country was in ruins, and the remaining people had tragically died!
As for the potion Materials, there was no way to find them!
The Bloodcloth Old Ancestor learned from the few survivors in the City that the catastrophe at the Imperial Palace had occurred within the last two days!
Therefore, the Bloodcloth Old Ancestor had burst out with such words.
It would have been fine if Su Liang had attracted the Dark Demon earlier.
But he had not attracted the Dark Demon, nor had he satisfied the Bloodcloth Old Ancestor.
Furthermore, because of his delay, the potions prepared by the King of Vog Country were not collected in time!
With these two factors combined, Su Liang felt that the Bloodcloth Old Ancestor’s patience with him had completely run out!
“You can’t help me attract the Dark Demon, and you even delayed my crucial two days. What else can you do for me?” The wings behind the Bloodcloth Old Ancestor slowly retracted, his neck twisting with a cracking sound, as he spoke words that chilled Su Liang’s heart.
“Old Ancestor, I can do anything for you! You only have me as a subordinate, give me some time, I will definitely let you see a new Dark Demon!” Su Liang’s expression turned pale, and his voice trembled.
Even though he was a Son of Destiny, facing a Dark Demon like the Bloodcloth Old Ancestor who was not controlled by the Heavenly Dao, he was still no more special than anyone else.
“I don’t have just one subordinate,” the Bloodcloth Old Ancestor shook his head slightly, then glanced behind him.
“Crack crack~” The dried body of the monster on the ground, which had lost its blood, actually twitched slightly at this moment!
As its body swayed, it slowly opened its eyes.
They were a pair of Blood Eyes extremely similar to the Bloodcloth Old Ancestor’s!
And on the creature’s mouth, there were four sharp fangs!
Overall, it seemed as though it shared the same bloodline as the Bloodcloth Old Ancestor, belonging to the same race!
“Blood… Ancestor.” The risen monster looked at the Bloodcloth Old Ancestor, immediately kneeling on one knee, its voice slow but firm.
“Su Liang, I’ll give you two more days to prove your worth to me.”
“Otherwise, I don’t mind swallowing you as a meal.”
The Bloodcloth Old Ancestor looked at Su Liang, calmly speaking the words that sent shivers down Su Liang’s spine.
“Yes, Old Ancestor!” Su Liang responded in a low voice.
Two days; if he couldn’t attract the Dark Demon like before, then there was only a dead end!
However, thinking about it, even if he did attract the Dark Demon, he would at most only gain three to five days of safety!
He was always heading towards death!
This terrifying fellow in front of him had completely sealed off all his paths!
“Roar~”
A Dark Demon nearby, not knowing its place, stepped forward and let out a roar.
However, the creature merely glanced at the Bloodcloth Old Ancestor before immediately turning its spearhead and charging towards Su Liang!
Standing still and watching the Dark Demon attack Su Liang, the Bloodcloth Old Ancestor’s Blood Eyes narrowed slightly.
He turned his head and looked at his hands.
His current Cultivation system was now almost fully formed.
Absorbing blood and transforming it into his own power; this situation could be maintained indefinitely, and currently, there was no discernible upper limit!
Also, because he had absorbed too much blood from Dark Demons and other creatures, the Bloodcloth Old Ancestor found that his aura was also tending to converge with that of the Dark Demons.
This was also the main reason why the Dark Demon hadn't attacked him just now.
Furthermore, another point of similarity between him and some Dark Demons was that he had recently grown to dislike light more and more, and perhaps this change would deepen and solidify in the future.
In the Bloodcloth Old Ancestor's opinion, this should be a flaw in the evolution of his Devouring Blood Great Art.
This point was harmless.
The Bloodcloth Old Ancestor had learned that this World was covered in Darkness most of the time.
Darkness was the home ground of this World.
While thinking this, the Bloodcloth Old Ancestor heard several roars from Dark Demons nearby again; several monsters were charging towards Su Liang.
“Old Ancestor, save me!” Su Liang, who was struggling to hold on, cried out for help.
Frowning, he waved his hand, and a dark red bloody force directly crushed these Dark Demons.
After doing that, the Bloodcloth Old Ancestor suddenly sensed something and then looked around.
At this moment, he suddenly discovered that a large number of Dark Demons had gathered in the surrounding Darkness, he didn’t know when!
These Dark Demons, some roaring, some making strange noises, were all gathering in his direction amidst the commotion!
To be precise, they were gathering towards the ruins of this Imperial Palace!
Looking at the ruins behind him, the Bloodcloth Old Ancestor thought of something and slowly closed his eyes.
After a moment, he slowly opened his Blood Eyes: “Beneath these ruins, there seems to be a power that resonates with Darkness.”
“Is some supreme treasure about to be born?”
Having lived for so many years, even in the Great Thousand World, his knowledge, when applied here, still gave him considerable insight.
Almost instantly, the Bloodcloth Old Ancestor made a rough guess.
“Old Ancestor! Let’s run quickly!” Su Liang felt that he had been targeted by the bloodthirsty gazes of many Dark Demons, and his tone was already clearly anxious.
“Shut up, you troublesome fellow!” The Bloodcloth Old Ancestor glared at Su Liang.
The other party instantly quieted down.
And just as the Bloodcloth Old Ancestor’s attention was completely focused on the ruins in front of him.
The roars of the Dark Demons accumulating behind became much more frequent, interspersed with the screams of some Dark Demons.
This unusual change caused the Bloodcloth Old Ancestor to turn slightly and look back.
In the next breath, dozens of dazzling beams of light directly tore through the monster horde, pointing directly at the Bloodcloth Old Ancestor’s Blood Eyes!
