Chapter 390: Chapter 268: The Reason for the Vampire Ancestor’s Awakening, a Casual Strike of Legendary-Level Strength
Vampire Viscount Kasa narrowed his blood-red eyes, his tone grave.
"This plane on the other side of the Teleportation Gate... it’s not a simple one."
"It’s nothing like the minor planes we could previously crush at will!"
But Vampire Viscountess Lina, who was standing beside him, snorted coldly upon hearing his words.
"Hmph!"
"So what if it’s not a minor plane?"
"Now that the great Ancestor has awakened, no world can withstand his assault!"
"After all, a plane connected to us through a Divine Artifact cannot possibly be of a higher level than our own Large Dark Plane."
"The only thing we need to watch out for is not repeating the same mistake as last time. A single oversight then forced the Ancestor to awaken from his slumber just to clean up the mess!"
Her words carried a subtle trace of both excitement and fear.
Hearing Lina’s words, Kasa’s expression darkened. Of course, he remembered the bitter lesson the Large Dark Plane had learned more than a decade ago.
More than a decade ago, the Large Dark Plane had launched an invasion of another plane. They had assumed it was just a minor plane, thinking that sending a single Vampire Viscount would be enough to conquer it.
As it turned out, that Vampire Viscount returned twice, gravely wounded.
At the same time, the presence of the Holy Light on that plane caught the attention of Count Yin Hai the Vampire.
They had thought that with Count Yin Hai the Vampire personally leading the assault, conquering the plane would be an effortless victory.
But who could have imagined that the top-tier fighters from that plane would erupt with such power? They managed to temporarily stall Count Yin Hai the Vampire and kill a Ninth-Level Vampire Viscount in a single stroke.
Then they joined forces to surround and kill the Vampire Count himself!
Furthermore, they used some unknown method to sever the connection between our plane and the Blood-colored Teleportation Gate.
And just like that, Count Yin Hai the Vampire—the regent personally appointed by Vampire Ancestor Cain before he fell into slumber—perished!
With the sudden fall of Count Yin Hai the Vampire, a power vacuum instantly formed within the entire Eternal Night Realm.
The three other most powerful figures, all of them veteran Vampire Counts, began to vie for power, sparking a brutal civil war!
In the end, at the cost of one veteran Vampire Count dead, two more gravely wounded, and over a dozen Vampire Viscounts slain, they succeeded in startling the slumbering Vampire Ancestor Cain awake.
The death of his vampire descendants on such a massive scale immediately caught the attention of Vampire Ancestor Cain, even in his slumber!
While still slumbering, Vampire Ancestor Cain had at one point assumed a powerful enemy had invaded their own plane and broken into the vampire realm!
But when he awoke, he discovered it was nothing more than a civil war!
This sent Vampire Ancestor Cain into a thunderous rage!
Descendants with Ninth Level Power were not easy to cultivate, to say nothing of the loss of a precious veteran Vampire Count.
Thus, the prematurely awakened Vampire Ancestor Cain immediately suppressed the civil war with an iron fist and reconsolidated his forces.
Or perhaps, it was more accurate to say the awakened Vampire Ancestor Cain merely had to show his face in the Dark Plane. Under the suppression of their shared bloodline, the vampires engaged in the civil war instantly ceased their fighting.
"There were certainly many suspicious points surrounding Lord Yin Hai’s fall, but it was a loss for all of us!"
As someone who had belonged to Count Yin Hai the Vampire’s faction, Vampire Viscount Kasa’s voice unconsciously grew somber as he recalled the news of his lord’s fall.
"Lord Yin Hai’s fall didn’t just trigger the civil war in the Eternal Night Realm; it also caused the Vampire Ancestor to awaken prematurely, preventing him from taking that final step!"
"We all share the blame for that!"
Vampire Viscountess Lina waved her hand in irritation.
"Don’t bring up the past again!"
"The Vampire Ancestor’s awakening is a done deal. He won’t go back to sleep until he has gathered enough sustenance."
"We’ve received the message from the Teleportation Gate. The other Vampire Clan armies are already gathering."
"What we should be doing now is discussing how to completely conquer the plane on the other side! Their blood and souls will compensate for the Eternal Night Realm’s loss of top-tier fighters!"
Lina served under the Vampire Countess, Helen Wei. Unlike Kasa, who was now a direct subordinate of Vampire Ancestor Cain, she was not of the same faction.
Vampire Viscountess Lina turned her gaze back to the Blood-colored Teleportation Gate, her eyes growing sharp and greedy.
"I can feel the immense Life Energy on the other side!"
"If I could devour just one-tenth of the life there, I might be able to break through to the Ninth Level!"
"And maybe the Vampire Ancestor would even reward me with a drop of his Essence Blood!"
Vampire Viscountess Lina licked her lips.
Vampire Viscount Kasa suppressed his distracting thoughts and refocused on the battle before them.
"We can’t be careless!"
"Through the blood, I can sense that powerful enemies have already gathered at the other end of the Blood-colored Teleportation Gate!"
"There seem to be two Ninth-Level members of their clan gathered at the gate."
"Those are not enemies we can contend with!"
"We’d best leave such a heavy responsibility to the Lord Count!"
「Thirty minutes later.」
On the Blood-colored Plain, a Vampire Clan Corps fifty thousand strong had already assembled.
At the same time, the veteran Vampire Count Elvin, a Ninth-Level powerhouse, also arrived at the front lines.
"Greetings, Lord Elvin!"
