Chapter 1386: Before the Grand Battle

A majestic mountain stood tall between the heavens and the earth. It looked so grand as the summit was above the clouds. If you looked down from the summit, you would feel like you were on the top of the world.

This was Saint Mountain, but now the mountain was covered in blood. An intense, pungent, bloody smell lingered in the air, and the sky was painted in maroon.

Within the vast mountain, a stream flowed red as if the water were fresh blood. It looked like a place for Blood Demons to cultivate themselves. Countless bloody rays could sometimes be seen floating around in the mountain.

At this time, a thick and viscous blood aura lingered in the deepest area within the mountain. Three figures stood before a gorge with their hands behind their backs. The surrounding bloody aura surged and rippled, shaking the space continuously.

The three of them wore red robes. The one who was standing at the forefront had a pale face with a vertical blood slit that ran between his eyebrows. It exuded a faint but daunting killing aura.

He turned to the other two and said indifferently, “We have primarily confirmed that someone is attacking the Fiend Blood Tribe. Blood Nether Lord and the other two have been apprehended.”

The other two fierce-looking Blood Demon Lords could not help but change their expressions. Although they somehow had an idea before they had come here, they were still shocked when their speculations were confirmed.

After all, they had ruled this place without any hindrance for so long. All the powerhouses in this land were not worth mentioning to them, so why had such a formidable opponent suddenly sprouted up?

“He should be from the Great Thousand World,” said the fair-skinned Blood Demon Lord.

“D*mn!” The other two Blood Demon Lords twitched their facial muscles and cursed. If it were really a powerhouse from the Great Thousand World, it would be a little tricky. They knew very well that the powerhouses from the Great Thousand World were incomparable with those from the Lower Planes. Their strength could not be belittled.

“But according to my estimation, that person is not a Heavenly Sovereign. He is at most at the same level as we are.” The fair-skinned Blood Demon Lord squinted. “Given my speculation, Blood Nether Lord and the other two were taken down separately. If this person were a Heavenly Sovereign, there would be no need for this trouble.”

The other two relaxed slightly when they heard this. So long as it was not a Heavenly Sovereign from the Great Thousand World, they could probably still scare off the mystery powerhouse from the Great Thousand World if the three of them joined hands.

“What should we do now?” asked the other two.

The vertical slit between the Blood Demon Lord’s eyebrows wriggled slightly. After a while, he slowly said, “Send my orders out. Get all the powerhouses of the Fiend Blood Tribe back to Mount Blood Demon.”

The other two Blood Demon Lords were shocked. “Brother, what about those cities we occupied?”

The leader of the Blood Demon Lord said emotionlessly, “Looks like both of you have not got your priorities right. If we are defeated, what is the use of keeping those cities?”

“Is that fellow so formidable?” asked the two of them doubtfully.

“Regardless how formidable this guy might be, we need to prepare for the worst. You must remember what our final objective is…” The Blood Demon Lord leader looked down and gazed at the gorge in front of them. There was a sea of blood in the gorge. The pungent smell of the blood was almost piercing through their noses.

An enormous egg covered in blood was floating in the sea of blood. Hideous runes were engraved on the blood egg. An indescribable ferocious aura exuded from it as if it were nurturing something. The three Blood Demon Lords looked at the bloody egg with blazing hot fires burning within their eyes.

“It was not easy for us to take over this place without letting other clans know about this. With the help of the blood from the spiritual beings in this world, a true king can be nurtured. Once he is born, the Fiend Blood Tribe will have our own Demon Emperor! At that time, the Blood Fiend Tribe will enjoy some status in the Extraterritorial Races. They will not treat us like dirt as before! Our plan has reached the most crucial stage, and no mistakes must be made!”

An ultimate coldness surged within the leader’s eyes. He then turned to the other two Blood Demon Lords and said, “Don’t be too worried about it. I’m only preparing for the worst. If this fellow only dares to sneak behind Blood Nether Lord and the other two, that goes to show that his strength is stronger than theirs by a level. Hence, I doubt he dares to barge into Mount Blood Demon.”

The other two Blood Demon Lords nodded in agreement. Since the three of them would never divide themselves while guarding Mount Blood Demon, the powerhouse of the Great Thousand World would be courting his own death if he was not a Heavenly Sovereign. Hence, they decided to keep this arrogant fellow alive for the time being. They would make him pay a thousand fold once their king was born.

Mu Chen and Bai Susu stood on the summit of a mountain in a barren land. Bai Susu looked at a city in the distance while Mu Chen squinted and said, “These powerhouses of the Fiend Blood Tribe are continuously abandoning the cities.”

“They are gathering up at Mount Blood Demon,” Bai Susu said with a stern face. “Looks like the three Blood Demon Lords sensed something amiss.”

Mu Chen nodded slightly. He was not surprised at all. After all, three Blood Demon Lords had fallen out of contact at the same time. This was not a small matter. The other three Blood Demon Lords would be on their guard regardless of how stupid they were.

“They sensed danger, so they are calling back all the powerhouses to secure Mount Blood Demon.” Bai Susu knit her willow-shaped eyebrow slightly and looked at Mu Chen. “What shall we do, Lord?”

Mount Blood Demon was heavily guarded, and the three Blood Demon Lords must be waiting for Mu Chen’s arrival. If they barged into it, it might be a battle that would shake the earth.

Mu Chen laughed when he heard this. “What else? Let’s fight our way through.”

His tonality was light-hearted, as though he were talking about some sightseeing location and not a fearsome battlefield. Even though Bai Susu was a girl, she could not help but feel her blood accelerate when she heard his neutral tonality. Immediately, she pursed her lips into a smile. “Since you’re so confident, we will definitely put our lives at stake.”

Mu Chen smiled. Just as he was about to speak, his expression suddenly froze. He was slightly shocked while looking at the land behind him. Suddenly, many presences were sweeping in like swift, rumbling currents.

Mu Chen looked at that human current in shock. He realized that the current was not made up of the members of the Fiend Blood Tribe, but of the indigenous people from this world. Judging from the scale of it, almost all the indigenous people from this world were rushing toward them.

He turned and looked at Bai Susu.

Looking into his eyes, Bai Susu pursed her lips and smiled. “Lord, this battle concerns our survival. Your goal is the three Blood Demon Lords. The rest do not require you to waste your effort. We will not allow anyone to disturb you.”

Mu Chen knit his eyebrow when he heard that. “All of you are fooling around.”

The powerhouses of the Fiend Blood Tribe were all grouped together. The indigenous people had quite a number, too, but they might lose their lives in real combat.

Bai Susu smiled. Her voice was soft but determined. “Lord, our hatred for the Fiend Blood Tribe is beyond your imagination. Hence, we have no regrets, even if our people are completely annihilated. So, let us come along with you.” Bai Susu bowed to Mu Chen respectfully.

At the same time, the vast and mighty current gathered under the solitary mountain. The countless indigenous people kneeled on one knee. A thunderous voice echoed in the land, “We seek your permission!”

Mu Chen was silent for a while as he looked at this scene. He could see the hatred in the eyes of these people. Apparently, most of them were ready to sacrifice themselves. Even if he wanted to stop them at this time, the people might still just follow behind him.

As such, he sighed softly and said, “If the other party does not make any move, all of you must stay put, too. As long as I kill the three Blood Demon Lords, the Fiend Blood Tribe will collapse.”

He was afraid that when he summoned the thought of Sovereign White Dragon, the latter might not fulfill his promise if he was too upset about the death of his tribemates. Hence, he had better try to keep some of the people alive.

“Your order is our command!” Countless voices resounded respectfully between the heavens and the earth. They looked at Mu Chen with genuine respect.

Mu Chen stopped commenting. He nodded slightly to Bai Susu and beamed into a streamer charging somewhere far away. Behind him, the vast and mighty current followed closely while shaking the earth. The current swept across the land. A few days later, their speed gradually slowed down.

A streamer appeared in the sky, and Mu Chen stood with his hands behind his back. His calm eyes looked at the majestic mountain that seemed to be far away. The enormous mountain was poking through the clouds, looking down at the land.

Bai Susu stood at the side and stared at Saint Mountain, which had become bloody and filthy. Her eyes could not help but get red. Thin veins started appearing on her jade-like hands.

Mu Chen looked at the gigantic mountain that was exuding an overwhelming, pungent, bloody odor. Countless figures waited solemnly at the mountain with blood aura lingering in the air.

Mu Chen gazed at the enormous bloody mountain. Suddenly, three bloody rays darted out from Mount Blood Demon. They were suspended in the air and transformed into three bloody figures. Brutal blood aura soared into the sky.

At the same time, a cold voice echoed between the heavens and earth. The killing intent was as solid as if it had materialized. “Ignorant scoundrel. I wanted to let you live longer, yet you barged into my territory. You’re cutting your own throat! Since you wish to court your own death, I’ll grant your wish today!”
