Chapter 474: Chapter 459: Blood Clan Blood Technique - The Cause of Clan Annihilation! _1

Bubbles of blood constantly welled up from within the blood pool, giving off a faintly rotten smell, an odor that had lingered for an unknown period of time, hinting at inevitable decay.

In the center of the blood pool, the arrival of Ao Kui didn’t capture the elder’s attention, who was still immersed in the blood pool, continually absorbing the essence of the plasma. As the essence seeped into the elder’s body like individual threads, the blood pool became as clear as a mirror.

Whoosh!

Finally, the zombie-like elder moved. His gaunt frame started to terrifyingly plump itself out, his sparse white hair turned jet black, glistening, and the decay emanating from him disappeared.

Standing upright in the middle of the blood pool, the benevolent looking elder gradually rose, coming face-to-face with Ao Kui. His vast blood Qi mixed with a slight hint of evil, causing Ao Kui to stumble on his breath.

This was the reliance of the Turtle Mountain War Division, the greatest power of the tribe, the Massive Tower Realm Wu Expert Ao Hong!

"Grandson pays respect to the great ancestor, congratulations for your great progress and breaking the shackles of the Martial Arts Heavy Floor Realm!"

Seeing the elder emerge from the blood pool, Ao Kui quickly knelt down in reverence, his voice full of respect. His previous arrogance had disappeared, instead replaced with caution.

"Stand up. Why did you come looking for me this time, and when will the next batch of blood slaves be delivered?"

The elder didn’t express any gratitude towards Ao Kui’s compliments and seemed to lack the familial bond between them.

"Great Ancestor, the next batch of blood slaves will not be delivered on time!"

What!

Boom!

Even though Ao Kui was the head of the Turtle Mountain War Division, commanding the life and death of tens of thousands, he was still trembling in the presence of the elder, despite being his direct descendant.

For the elder, who ruled the Turtle Mountain War Division, there were many direct descendants, not just Ao Kui. Regardless of who could become the chief of the Turtle Mountain War Division, it was of no concern to him. What he cared about most was receiving enough blood slaves every year, and Ao Kui remained the chief because he consistently met this demand.

"What happened? You better have a satisfying reason for me. Regardless of you being my descendant, the consequences will be severe if I’m not satisfied. There are plenty of people within the tribe who could be the chief!"

"Yes! Yes! Yes! Please forgive me, Great Ancestor. I didn’t mean to disobey your command, it was a force majeure!"

As he felt the wrath of the elder, Ao Kui nervously knelt down again. His face turned pale due to fear. Even though everyone in the tribe knew about the powerful and unpredictable elder, only Ao Kui knew about his brutal and violent nature.

"In a short span of half a year, the power dynamic within Dragon Fall Territory drastically changed. We are not the only dominating tribe now. Another Human War Tribe has risen, intending to obliterate us and become the new supreme overlord of the territory!"

Ao Kui paused as he said that. He already understood the elder’s temperament over the past few decades. The elder was usually indifferent, but he became extraordinarily unpredictable and ruthless once it came to the matter of the blood slaves, not even sparing his direct descendants.

"The newly risen Human War Tribe is at least not weaker than us. Half of the human tribes that used to serve us have pledged allegiance to them. I fear that attacking a tribe to capture blood slaves for you at this time may cause panic among the remaining tribes that still serve us. This could force them to join the other tribe, placing us in a dangerous situation!"

"All these things I have done are for the tribe. Please understand, Great Ancestor. After we pass this crisis, I will capture enough blood slaves for you, so you can break through the Martial Arts Heavy Floor Realm!"

As he continued speaking, Ao Kui knocked his head to the ground over and over, acting as if he couldn’t go on anymore.

The Turtle Mountain War Division had almost obliterated several Human War Tribes every year. All of this could be traced back to the elder.

Since Ao Kui succeeded as the tribal chief, he had to prepare several thousand human blood slaves for the elder every year.

These human blood slaves aren’t just anyone; they must be adult males, under thirty years old, with considerable martial arts cultivation. These men are almost always elite war soldiers from various human war tribes.

In order to gather enough blood slaves each year, the Turtle Mountain War Division had to annihilate a human low-tier battle division. At first, it was not too bad as the Turtle Mountain War Division would capture blood slaves from hidden places on the edge of the Desolate Mountain Forest.

However, as time went by, the blood slaves from the border areas of the entire Desolate Wilds had been nearly captured. Some had escaped deep into the Savage Wilderness Forest. The Turtle Mountain War Division had no choice but to destroy some of the human war divisions, which was why they had been increasingly unpopular over the years. They would annihilate other tribes at any time, causing panic among the numerous human war divisions in the Great Wasteland. They were afraid that the fate of destruction would one day fall upon their tribe.

"Ancestor, our Turtle Mountain War Division has destroyed countless human battle divisions over the years. Originally, given our Turtle Mountain War Division’s prestige, these native tribes were insignificant. Even if they wanted to resist the heavenly might of our Turtle Mountain War Division, they wouldn’t stand a chance. But now our Turtle Mountain is in a crisis and we need to project moral righteousness to calm the people. If not, the other tribes will abandon us and we’ll have unnecessary issues even if we are not afraid of them."

"Human righteousness! The ancestor doesn’t believe in any of this sh*t about human righteousness! It’s all fake, only power is real. Over the past hundred years, I have absorbed countless human essences. The level of the Martial Arts Tower is already showing signs of loosening!"

At this moment, the elder’s aura began to turn somewhat crazed, bloodlust filled his eyes as he let out chilling laughter.

"Kill! Kill for this ancestor! If they dare to resist, then kill! Kill until blood flows like a river! Kill until they don’t dare to resist! If a bunch of lowly mutts dare to resist Turtle Mountain, they deserve annihilation! Let’s see if they dare to disobey the command of the Turtle Mountain War Division!"

"Ancestor, are you about to advance to the next grade of the Martial Arts Tower?"

"Correct, after a hundred years of consuming countless human blood essences, I am finally loosening the chokehold. This is all thanks to the Blood Clan’s blood art from a remnant volume I once obtained."

Having heard this, the crazy look on the elder’s face faded, replaced by one of excitement. A hundred years of torment was about to end in success, and this was an exciting prospect. One step further would open a new heaven and earth.

In the Martial Arts Heavy Floor Realm, Warriors face the heavenly tribulation, creating the Martial Arts Tower. The tower comes in nine grades, however, not all Warriors can forge a perfect innate nine-grade tower.

Some warriors with lower talents can barely forge the lower-grade Martial Arts Tower, like Ao Hong, the ancestor of the Turtle Mountain War Division, who only forged a third-grade tower. This indicates that without the opportunity to supplement his Martial Arts Tower, the highest level of martial arts he could reach in his lifetime would be only the third realm of the Martial Arts Heavy Floor Realm.⁠

Compared to the innate Martial Arts Tower, the supplemented tower, without considering the gap between it and innate, requires heavenly spirit items to repair. All of them are rarely found in the Great Wasteland and are listed on the Great Wasteland Ten Thousand Spirits List.

Even if it’s not just the Turtle Mountain War Division, but even some of the higher-grade or marquis-grade divisions, these heavenly spirit items are still very precious, rarely seen, and are considered the foundation of a tribe. How could Ao Hong have it?

However, when Ao Hong broke through the tower realm and traveled across the Great Wasteland years ago, he obtained a remnant volume of Blood Clan’s incomplete blood art. Among them was a secret method that could nourish the Martial Arts Tower, but it was somewhat incomplete.

The Blood Clan is a major clan among the Hundred Clans in the Great Wasteland. They rely on blood to survive and are very wicked. They even regard the human race as blood slaves, feeding on their blood and flesh. It can be said that the Blood Clan relies on blood to survive, and the blood art their clan created uses blood as a medium.

The blood art in the hands of Ao Hong was incomplete. Even after pondering over it for many years, it still has severe flaws. Therefore, he requires a large amount of human adult male blood essence to nourish the Martial Arts Tower. It took him a hundred years, with countless human blood brothers being drained dry by him, to finally see signs of a breakthrough today!

"Once this ancestor repairs the deficiencies of the fourth layer of the Martial Arts Tower, the quality of the Martial Arts Tower will reach the middle grade. This is a qualitative change. The middle-grade Martial Arts Tower will open a new realm!"

Seeing Ao Hong’s excitement, the Turtle Mountain servant on the ground had a shift in his gaze and spoke in a sycophantic tone, "Ancestor, I have an important piece of news that affects the grade of your Martial Arts Tower."

"Oh?" Ao Hong seemed somewhat indifferent.

"Ancestor, the tribe that is challenging our Gu Yuan’s clan’s hegemony is called the Gu Yuan Battle Division. Not long ago, they created two realm fighters, and their clan leader, who has the blessing of endless human qi, broke into the Martial Arts Towering Realm—his tower, I heard, is a 7th grade upper tier."

What!

"You’re saying it’s an upper-grade tower, and that this person just broke through?"

"Yes! Just broke through, although it is an upper-grade tower, he definitely won’t be a match for you, Ancestor. Moreover, his blood and flesh are enough for you to break through the limits of the Martial Arts Tower and even take a step further to make up for the 5th and maybe even 6th grade!"

"Good! Good! Good!"

The next moment, Ao Hong started to laugh maniacally. The upper-grade seven-tiered Martial Arts Tower, and the strength that had just recently broken through, were not worth worrying about! Was this heaven’s will, knowing that this Ancestor was about to fill the deficiencies of the Martial Arts Tower, deliberately sending him the needed blood essence?
