Chapter 829: Chapter 814: Clearing Out the Blood Clan, Summoning the Blood Sea! Subscribe for Updates!

Devouring fate and condensing the essence of flesh and blood to nourish the victorious tribe, that is the purpose of the battle of fate’s blood sacrifice. The sea of blood that gathered above the Bronze Ancient City is the essence left by the fallen Blood Clan warriors, providing immense benefits for Human Warriors to enhance their cultivation, and even improve their physical constitution.

Similarly, the essence of blood and bones gathered from the fallen warriors of the Gu Yuan Clan has turned into a sea of blood above the Blood Tribe Floating Island and has become the spoils of war for the Blood Tribe.

Nothing but cruelty, the Wilderness is a place where the strong are revered, and among the Hundred Clans of Heaven, the human race is prey, refining humans to enhance their strength. This is the law of survival. The battle of fate’s blood sacrifice originated in the dark blood era of the Desolate Wilds, where it was indeed the true law of survival of the fittest, and all living beings were food.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh

The sea of blood, originally only four or five li in size, has now suddenly expanded to over ten li in radius. The sea of blood surged like tides, with even blood waves rolling, and within the sea of blood, an indistinct aura emerged.

The Blood Clan Warriors were annihilated, and Xiao Chen’s original plan had been achieved. However, the price paid was likewise immense, embodying the adage, ’kill a thousand enemies, lose eight hundred.’ But being able to strangle the elite War Masters of the Blood Faint Noble Family was akin to cutting off one of their arms.

The bloodstained battlefield was now left with only mottled traces of blood. Having cleared out the Blood Clan’s War Masters, the War Masters of the Gu Yuan Tribe likewise retreated back to the Bronze Ancient City. After a day of fighting, the entire Heavenly River Space fell into an eerie silence, as if two ferocious beasts had stopped their fight to lick their wounds, gathering strength for the next relentless battle.

Returning to the ancient city, Xiao Chen’s figure landed on the city wall of the Bronze Ancient City, facing the Blood Clan Sky Island from afar, a hundred li apart. At this moment, the Sky Island churned with purple blood miasma, but the sea of blood it condensed was only seven or eight li in size, resulting from the fallen tribespeople of the Gu Yuan Clan.

Apart from the slow rotation of the purple blood miasma and the undulating waves of the blood ocean, the entire Blood Clan Sky Island fell into a deathly silence. Even the Blood Race Soldiers fleeing the Gu Yuan Clan’s pursuit entered the Floating Island and then fell silent, with an eerie aura spreading.

"Tian Fang, besides Yun Wei and Zi Yuan, you and the rest of your brothers each lead a squadron of War Soldiers into the Bronze Ancient City. In the surrounding forests, cut down those Blood Race Soldiers who fled there. Xiao Chen, we must not let them escape back to the Blood Tribe Floating Island."

Withdrawing his gaze from the Blood Clan’s Void Floating Island, Xiao Chen turned to the people on the city wall. Having just experienced a bloody melee, the warriors of the Gu Yuan Clan on the entire city wall exuded an aura of bloodshed.

Although the Gu Yuan Tribe’s million War Masters had surrounded and defeated the tens of thousands of fleeing Blood Tribe Soldiers, they had not been able to completely prevent the Blood Tribe from escaping deeper into the Heavenly River Space. But even though they had managed to escape from the battlefield, the Gu Yuan Tribe naturally wouldn’t allow them to return safely to the Blood Tribe Floating Island.

"We shall heed the Master’s orders!" Seven figures bowed in response in an instant.

Tian Fang and the others had also participated in the recent encirclement and suppression of the Blood Clan War Masters, and their Combat Qi was somewhat erratic. However, the task of hunting down the fleeing Blood Race was urgent, as these Blood Race Soldiers had the chance to return to the Void Floating Island.

"Respected master, we do not wish to lead the tribe’s War Soldiers. Let the many disciples of the War God Temple undertake this purge of the fleeing Blood Tribe’s remnants," Tian Fang, as the eldest brother among them, said to Xiao Chen after receiving his orders.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen glanced at Luo Yun Mountain, the master of the War God Temple, who despite having just fought a great battle and still standing on the city wall, had sustained serious injuries.

Not just him, all the venerables of the Gu Yuan Clan were injured in the battle against the Blood Clan elders, with some even in life-threatening conditions. Qiu Hu and Wan Tianxing would have perished on the spot if it hadn’t been for Shi Ya controlling the Air Battleship to rescue them in time.

"Clan leader, these disciples of the War God Temple, through years of training, lack only combat experience. Fighting against the Blood Clan is precisely what they need if they fall at the hands of the Blood Clan, it is only because their skills were not refined enough!" Luo Yun Mountain’s voice rang out, and as the master of the War God Temple, the young warriors trained by the temple were his pride and joy. Although he couldn’t say they would all reach the heights of becoming venerables or higher, at least advancing to the Layered Tower Realm was certainly no issue.

Do not underestimate just reaching the Layered Tower Realm. Among the billions of humans in the Border Wasteland, the Heavy Tower Realm Martial warriors when totaled would amount to only a few tens of thousands, and as for venerables, aside from the old generation sleeping in the Ancestral Court, they are extremely scarce, with these warriors still distributed across the millions of li of the Border Wasteland.

"Very well," replied Xiao Chen after listening to Luo Yun Mountain, but then added, "The Blood Race Soldiers who have escaped into the surrounding forests number in the tens of thousands, and there are even warrior leaders of the Blood Clan among them. It’s also possible that warriors from the opposite Blood Tribe Floating Island might be dispatched to support them, so you must be careful."

"Ding Shan, dispatch another squadron of War Masters from the War Master Hall to join the chase and clear the mountains of the Blood Clan," Xiao Chen commanded.

"Understood," came a response.

"All elders, go heal yourselves now. The next battle might descend upon us very soon!"

Xiao Chen waved his hand gently towards the warriors behind him and gave his order, whereupon many warriors went down to carry out their tasks. In preparation for this grand battle, the Gu Yuan Tribe’s Hundred Herbs Hall had already readied enough healing pills.

"Sigh!"

As the multitude of warriors dispersed, Xiao Chen took a deep breath. The battle they had just fought was extraordinarily perilous.

Fortunately, his Gu Yuan Tribe had managed to encircle and annihilate the Blood Clan’s elite War Masters. This tactic, to lure in the elite War Masters of the Blood Clan and annihilate them in one fell swoop, had been previously discussed and agreed upon with the clan elders. Moreover, it could also be considered a transparent stratagem.

Even if the Blood Faint Noble Family discovered it, it fell within his expectations. It wasn’t until Hun Shixin committed all three of the Blood Clan’s elite War Masters that they realized they had seen through Xiao Chen’s plot. They decided to turn the tables and counterattack, planning to do the opposite of what he expected, with Xiao Chen aiming to surround their War Masters.

Relying on their formidable power, the Blood Faint Noble Family intended to strike back by annihilating the Gu Yuan warriors and, taking advantage of the tribe’s retreat, to capture the Bronze Ancient City in one go.

Soon, a burly figure appeared from the distant Sky Vault and in the blink of an eye landed atop the ancient city, approaching Xiao Chen.

"Clan Leader!" Having joined the Gu Yuan Tribe, the Venerable Jiao Long didn’t put on airs as an elder of high standing.

"Venerable One!" The title that Xiao Chen called out was not a reference to a rank among warriors, but a title of respect for the formidable strength of a Jiao dragon.

"I’ve inflicted serious injury on that old monster from the Blood Clan; he has fled into the ancient city," reported the Venerable Jiao Long to Xiao Chen.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen nodded. He wasn’t surprised by the retreat of the Blood Clan Ancestor. At their level, unless there was a significant power gap, it was difficult to completely exterminate an opponent. The Blood Clan’s old monster was also a descendant of a king, possessing various techniques, which was not unexpected. The Venerable Jiao Long then spoke again,

"That old ghost of the Blood Clan, he has a Half-King Artifact in his possession. Although it’s only the most rudimentary kind, it has significantly increased his strength. Moreover, my own injuries have not yet fully healed, making it impossible for me to fight back unhindered against this old ghost of the Blood Clan!"

"Half-King Artifact?"

There was a hint of surprise in Xiao Chen’s eyes, which he then let go of. Considering that the Blood Faint Noble Family was founded by a descendant of kings, it was not strange for them to possess a King’s Equipment passed down to them. However, the royal weapons of the Blood Faint Noble Family had been buried with their ancestor, the Blood Faint King, in the Human World.

"The Venerable One’s injuries?"

Xiao Chen immediately inquired about the state of the Venerable Jiao Long, who was now a pillar of support for the Gu Yuan Tribe.

"There’s no problem holding off that old Blood Clan ghost, but killing him is a bit difficult," the Venerable Jiao Long said.

As Xiao Chen and the Venerable Jiao Long conversed, the gates to the Bronze Ancient City opened on both sides, and troops of War Soldiers once again sallied forth, led by Xiao Chen’s disciples. They quickly disappeared into the depths of the Ancient Forest.

The Venerable Jiao Long returned to the tribe while Xiao Chen still stood on the City Wall, gazing at the sea of blood above the ancient city with a contemplative look. The battle of fates using blood sacrifice, up until three months ago, Xiao Chen was completely ignorant of it, but after it concerned the safety of the Gu Yuan Tribe, he managed to find pertinent records within the Human Ancestral Court.

The blood bone essence from above could greatly assist warriors in improving their strength. Under the blessing of the will of fate, this blood essence derived from enemies could be absorbed by warriors to enhance their strength without any hidden dangers. However, the blood essence from the sea could only be utilized after the battle of fate was over, by the victorious side.

Yet, among the ancient texts and hand notes he studied, there were records suggesting that with some special methods, one could draw forth this blood essence in advance to enhance a warrior’s strength. But flipping through the books, he found no further mention of such methods.

He wasn’t averse to refining the blood essence of the Blood Clan to improve his power. With both major forces suffering heavy losses in this great battle, it was imperative to accumulate strength for the next conquest as soon as possible.

If they could attract all of the blood essence infused with the Blood Clan’s essence, it could even allow the Gu Yuan Tribe to add several more Venerables to their ranks, which would be of great help in the upcoming battles.

Ps: I’ve seen the messages in the review section but the clan leader hasn’t finished typing yet. I’ll upload as soon as I’m done. Given the trend, it will likely take until tomorrow early morning. This is the 26th update, still short of 4 more. The clan leader will work overtime to finish it, also counting towards today’s updates.
