Chapter 213: A New Devilish Seed of Creation!
Chapter 213: A New Devilish Seed of Creation!
HUM! Her nails pierced into the great formation of the Spirit Treasure Palace! A crimson power pulsed from her heart, rushing along her veins to her fingertips, turning into blood serpents that surged into the formation.
BOOM! The entire formation of the Spirit Treasure Palace trembled, shaking and cracking the ground and the towers with it. In an instant, countless blood serpents spread like poison throughout the formation, transforming it into a crimson blood formation.
HUM! Starting from the War Princess's palm, the formation cracked open, creating a gaping, blood-dripping hole, like a bleeding wound, dripping blood profusely.
"A delightful day begins with a fresh, delectable breakfast," the War Princess said with a cold smile, striding through the broken formation into the Spirit Treasure Palace.
As dawn broke in the Heavenly Realm, a somber night passed, welcoming the first light of day.
BANG! Three figures entered the Spirit Treasure Palace! Their blood-red eyes swept over the scene! Inside, they saw a myriad of goods, brilliantly illuminated... but no one was there! Most of the treasures were still in place, but the people were gone! Many things were in disarray, as if they had left in a hurry.
"No one?" The War Princess frowned, a surge of blood rising in her.
WHOOSH! The two figures behind her rushed deeper into the Spirit Treasure Palace, ascending several floors.
Soon, they returned to the woman, whispering, "Reporting to the War Princess, not a soul in sight."
"Heh heh..." Her delightful mood soured instantly.
"These three demons dare play games with my palace?" The War Princess was seething with anger. This was a serious problem! She scanned the Spirit Treasure Palace; many treasures were still there, but they seemed to interest her not at all. Her long legs stamped down hard on the ground!
BOOM! A force, accompanied by a mist of blood, shot through the ground, forming a vast, blood-red net that spread from the ground to the body of the tower.
CRACK! This golden tower, standing tall in the Heavenly Realm for years, suddenly split open, revealing countless blood-red fissures, as if bleeding from within.
"Let's go!" With a dark expression, the War Princess turned to leave.
The two shadows hurriedly followed. As they left the Spirit Treasure Palace, the golden tower exploded, turning into countless blood-stained stones raining down, kicking up dense clouds of blood mist!
Many magic treasures and resources for cultivating the Dao were buried under the rubble. In an instant, the golden tower became history in the Heavenly Realm.
HUM! The three figures didn't look back as they vanished into the desolate streets.
Not long after they left, from the shadows of a distant street corner, emerged a silver-haired figure, indistinguishable as man or woman. It was Moon Fairy.
"Do you say this is a Seed of Creation with a blood type talent?" Moon Fairy murmured to the air.
After a while, seemingly receiving confirmation, his silver-white eyes brightened slightly. "The first blood type Seed of Creation! Its level surpasses even the Nine Heavens Star Meridians, capable of unlocking a third system of cultivation beyond human and demon... But, she seems quite strong!"
There were five types of Seed of Creation talents—blood, bone, flesh, core, and soul. Yun Xiao had only obtained flesh and core type so far, with blood, bone, and soul yet to be encountered.
"Is this what devils are like?" Moon Fairy remarked, interest sparkling in his eyes.
"Demons are demons, and devils are devils? The ultimate end of the Demon Dao is the Divine Desolation Demon God. Meanwhile, the end of the Devil Dao is another Ancestral God? Humans cultivate the Dantian. Demons perfect their fleshly bodies. But devils... they cultivate blood! Their hearts and blood vessels are their source of power, possessing potent blood sacrifice power. This enhances their physical body and allows them to wield blood magic, manipulate magic treasures in battle, achieving a balance superior to both humans and demons?" Moon Fairy murmured to himself. If someone saw him talking to himself, they'd probably think he was mad. In fact, he was conversing with Blue Star.
"It seems the devil race, though similar in appearance to humans, is indeed a distinct species. Humans and devils cannot reproduce together. They may look similar, but they're not the same species..." Moon Fairy's gaze was cold.
Different races, different hearts!
"But that doesn't affect pairing up," Blue Star said to Yun Xiao in the Divine Dawn Palace.
"Stop talking nonsense... She's obviously much taller than my original body and body double." Moon Fairy shook his head.
"What? Not into death by snu snu? Hehe." Blue Star laughed.
"With the lantern in hand, the world is mine!" Red Moon's eyes shone bright.
"You two are definitely sick in the head!" Moon Fairy cursed at the air.
The little black beast might be relaxed, but Yun Xiao was feeling the pressure.
"The Demon Continent's top combatants are already strong. Add the Forbidden Fate Demon Emperor and these three to the mix, that makes three devils and four demons! What are we going to do?"
"Don't worry about it, you just absorb all of Divine Dawn's power, and go on a rampage," Blue Star said in a carefree manner.
Seeing its confidence, Yun Xiao relaxed a bit. However, after thinking for a while, he still had some concerns and asked, "Bluey, our opponents are too fierce now. Will this all-or-nothing third dual cultivation session really work? Nothing will go wrong, right?"
If Yun Xiao had known time was so short, he would have started the first cultivation session the day he met Chen Xi! From the moment he set foot in the Heavenly Realm and took care of Ye Xingchen, this journey kept throwing curveballs, leaving even the Divine Dawn Empress at a loss.
Luckily, there was still time for that much-anticipated third dual cultivation session.
"Any problems? My brother in the Heavenly Dao, are you doubting me?" Blue Star barked in anger.
"No, no... Alright! It's my turn to bear the brunt now!" Yun Xiao gritted his teeth.
"Don't worry, with your two dads here, you'll definitely surpass the Empress, trample on bugs and dogs, and subdue the Devil Princess!" Blue Star stood with its hands on its hips, brimming with confidence.
"Subdue what? A mere Seed of Creation devil dares to flaunt in front of me, thinking of drinking the blood of my human race? I'll just slaughter and devour it!" Moon Fairy looked in the direction where the War Princess had left, seething with killing intent.
▬ι══🪦✧⚰️✧🪦══ι▬
Back at the Ancestral Temple, inside a deep, dark chamber….
"War Princess, please calm your anger!" The Eclipse Demon Emperor was somewhat troubled, facing the seductive yet imposing devil sitting in the master's seat. The three Demon Emperors stood awkwardly.
"Why did you put together such a useless list? Not a single person was there. You made me take a fruitless trip," the woman said, sitting upright and looking down at the three Demon Emperors.
Even seated, she towered over them. Her long, pale legs with a hint of red were crossed, dazzling to behold.
"I didn't expect the humans to be so cowardly, abandoning their treasures and fleeing," the Eclipse Demon Emperor explained.
"You didn't leak our plans, did you?" asked one of the black-robed demons beside the War Princess, his voice aged and dry.
The Eclipse Demon Emperor turned to look at the strongest Demon Saints like the Burning Saint and Ape Saint, shaking his head. "Impossible."
"..." Hearing this, the Ape Saint's expression didn't change.
"War Princess, rest assured. As per the agreement, once the Divine Continent falls, the Endless Netherworld can take the entire territory of the Spirit Treasure Immortal Empire, its people to breed as blood slaves. Fresh human blood will flow endlessly," the Gu Emperor said, smiling and bowing.
"Not enough," the War Princess extended two fingers, glaring at the group. "You deceived me, and I'm not pleased. I want two Empires!"
"Two Empires?" The Eclipse Demon Emperor frowned.
The other Demon Saints also looked grim.
The Gu Emperor quickly said, "War Princess, that's truly difficult for us. We can't make that decision; it will depend on the will of Forbidden Fate."
"You mean, it's not possible?" the War Princess asked coldly.
The Gu Emperor fell silent for a moment, then said, "If the Endless Netherworld could send a few more strong people, reducing our losses, then it's not impossible... I heard from Forbidden Fate that the recent great catastrophe widened the entrance to Endless Netherworld, allowing stronger existences to pass through."
"Heh," the War Princess scoffed with cold derision, "You demons are really useless, aren't you? Four demons against one human, and yet you need to deploy an entire demon army against a mere girl? Stop fussing around. Just give me the location and three Empire's worth of land, and I'll go and slay her myself. You can clean up after."
"This..." The Gu Emperor, Red Lotus, and the Eclipse Demon Emperor exchanged glances. They hadn't expected the new friends of the Forbidden Demon Emperor to be such an uncontrollable force.
From one Empire to three, her appetite was growing.
Shaking his head, the Gu Emperor said, "War Princess, let's stick to the original plan! Divine Dawn is surely hiding in her palace, which is the core of the Heavenly Realm's Primordial Array. Even with our numbers, a direct assault would be costly. If we lose one or two in the process, it's not worth it. Especially you, War Princess, your well-being is priceless."
"Right. Our demon army is almost at the gates of the Heavenly Realm. Once they break in, we'll attack from outside, slaughtering the Nine Heavens Immortal Army and the civilians. Divine Dawn won't be able to hide forever," Red Lotus said softly.
"You transformed beasts, having taken human form, seem to have picked up quite a bit of human nature, always weighing the pros and cons, wanting to win without loss? Heh. Boring!" With that, the War Princess stood up, dusted off her hips, and strode past the Eclipse Demon Emperor and Red Lotus, leaving without a backward glance.
"You!"
The War Princess' clearly struck a nerve. Born with a natural disadvantage, demons prided themselves on their hard work and couldn't stand such insults. Yet, in front of this new friend, they had to swallow their anger.
After the War Princess left, the Gu Emperor's gaze deepened with worry. "Seems like the expansion of the gateway to the Endless Netherworld isn't necessarily a good thing."
"Has Forbidden Fate mentioned it? Did he actively seek out these devils, or did they come looking for him?" Red Lotus asked in a low voice.
The Demon Emperors and Demon Saints exchanged glances. Their expressions grew colder.
▬ι══🪦✧⚰️✧🪦══ι▬
Leaving the meeting, the Burning Saint, transformed into a ball of flame, slapped the Ape Saint's shoulder hard.
"Are you alright?" the Burning Saint asked.
The Ape Saint lifted his head and smiled. "Are you kidding me? Why wouldn't I be alright?"
