Chapter 843: Chapter 828: Tight Defense at the Bottom of Blood Lake!

Void Floating Island.

As a fortress specially built by the once reigning Blood Clan for their family, one can imagine the array of defenses it possessed. The entire floating island covered a hundred miles, forming an irregular circle.

The main body of the floating island was composed of shattered Chaos Stones collected from the depths of the Deep Void, along with Void Crystals and a portion of Divine Materials. Such audacity could only be exhibited by kings who had the confidence to venture into the depths of the Deep Void to gather materials.

Atop the entire floating island, there were thirteen Blood Colored Ancient Mountains, five Blood Lakes, and over three hundred Blood Crystal Cannons strategically placed throughout the perilous areas of the island.

Beyond that, countless arrow towers and pavilions stood tall. Moreover, atop the floating island was a Blood Formation known as the Blood Coagulation and Marrow Transformation Array, forming a comprehensive defense system for the entire island.

Furthermore, there was a city wall three hundred yards high and a defense shield. Even utilizing Elemental Stone Fire Cannons, it would not be very easy to breach the island’s defenses.

After the Blood Clan Ancestor’s blood body had been destroyed and he escaped into the floating island, it terrified the members of the Blood Faint Noble Family; all the defenses on the island had long been activated, and there were always Blood Race Soldiers patrolling atop the city wall.

Blood Hall.

In the depths of a pool of blood, there was a blood sun about a foot in diameter floating on the surface of the blood water, constantly drawing energy from the blood water and incorporating it to repair the dense web of cracks covering it. However, the cracks on this blood sun were so numerous that the energy from the blood pool was almost negligible in effecting repairs.

Within this blood sun, a figure emerged, bearing eighty percent resemblance to the earlier Blood Clan Ancestor but with a slight difference.

"It won’t be so easy to slaughter my Blood Faint Noble Family," he declared.

The figure’s voice emanated from the blood sun. Though calm, it exuded an endless chill.

"Even if my physical body is destroyed, relying on the island’s defenses, it might not be impossible to hold out for a year or two. By that time, I should have fully merged with the Soldier Soul and reincorporated Divine Material to reforge the Half Royal Blood Wheel. Then, let us see how you manage to shatter the Half Royal Blood Wheel!"

The Blood Clan Ancestor’s voice was very faint. Astonishingly, his escaping blood soul chose not to reincarnate through seizing a tribe member’s body but instead merged with the soul of the Half Royal Blood Wheel to make it his new body.

Atop the island’s city wall.

Every mile, there was a Blood Tribe commander stationed, and occasionally, Blood Tribe elders appeared on the city wall, observing the Bronze Ancient City a hundred miles away to prevent an attack from the Gu Yuan Tribe.

Now, as the Blood Clan Ancestor was healing and the family head had fallen, all the defenses of the entire Blood Tribe Floating Island were under the control of the surviving elders of the Blood Faint Noble Family.

Currently, of the Blood Faint Noble Family, fourteen elders of Noble rank and above remained, including three in the exalted Seventh Heaven realm, two of whom had only recently been promoted.

The fear of death had mobilized all the warriors of the Blood Faint Noble Family.

The location of the Void Floating Island, situated right within a mountain valley, naturally benefited the defenses of the Blood Faint Noble Family. Even if the Gu Yuan Tribe Soldiers attacked, they could only enter from the valley’s mouth.

Of course, this was only the case for ordinary soldiers. For powerful warriors, as long as they could break through the island’s defenses, they naturally could enter from above the void.

Buzz!

The blood-colored defense shield suddenly vibrated with a buzzing sound, instantly restoring to its original state.

"Oh no!"

Although it was just a momentary disturbance and the fluctuations on the defense shield were almost negligible, it had been detected by a Blood Tribe elder.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Almost immediately, four Blood Colored Figures descended upon the spot where the disturbance occurred.

"You also sensed it!"

"Indeed, the defense shield is connected to the island’s core blood pool. Even if a bird approaches, it would trigger a reaction. The fluctuation of the blood-colored light shield definitely indicates someone has made contact—there’s no mistake!"

Four Blood Colored Figures descended, their eyes filled with a hint of surprise.

"Could it really be that a Human Warrior has infiltrated?"

One of the Blood Tribe elders coldly exclaimed, yet his eyes revealed astonishment as he continued, "Our Blood Tribe cultivates the Mysteries of Blood, along with other categories like Cold Darkness. Even if a Human managed to infiltrate, we would naturally detect it."

"What if this Human also cultivates the Mysteries associated with Cold Darkness?" suddenly another Blood Tribe elder retorted.

"Humans and our Blood Clan have different energies. As long as they appear within the island, we can naturally detect them. Have any of you noticed any unfamiliar energies?"

Upon hearing these words, the Blood Clan elders all shook their heads slightly. Within the floating island, a cold darkness permeated, and since the vital energy of the entire Blood Clan originated from the same source, any Human Warrior infiltrating would be detectable, even if they were just an ordinary Heavy Tower Realm Martial.

"Moreover, even if the Human Race wanted to sneak into our floating island and break through the defense shield, it wouldn’t be so easy," one of them said.

"Enough," suddenly, the Grand Elder of the Blood Faint Noble Family spoke up, "Regardless, we must remain vigilant. The Ancestor is currently healing, and this moment is when our Blood Faint Noble Family is most vulnerable. We cannot afford to let the Human Race exploit this opportunity."

"Dispatch our warriors to patrol the floating island, and you elders must not slack off!"

"Also, have the other elders, Hun Kui and Hun Li, station themselves at the core of the floating island to protect the Primordial Blood Pool!"

The next moment, the Grand Elder of the Blood Faint Noble Family spoke again, stating that Hun Kui and Hun Li, besides the Grand Elder, were the other venerable Seventh Heaven realm strong ones of the Blood Faint Noble Family at this time. Naturally, the Primordial Blood Pool was the core location providing energy for the Void Floating Island.

Soon, four figures descended towards the four corners of the Void Floating Island, and the place quieted down.

Inside the Mountain River Seal.

Xiao Chen could sense what was happening outside. He had passed through the island’s defense shield using the Mountain River Seal. Although he was extremely cautious, his passage through the defense still caused some disturbance; in an instant, his figure had entered the Mountain River Seal.

After the four Blood Faint Noble Family elders left, Xiao Chen did not hurry to reveal his form. Instead, five hours passed, and on a building one mile away, two figures sat opposite each other, the same two from the group of four earlier.

"Could it really have been an illusion?" one of the Blood Clan elders said, a hint of unusual color in his eyes.

"It can’t be an illusion. The disturbance in the defense shield must mean there’s an undetected presence that touched it," another Blood Clan elder retorted, his heart filled with doubt, as he had distinctly felt the fluctuation of the shield.

The two Blood Clan elders did not leave but continued to monitor the surrounding area for several miles. Meanwhile, what had transformed into dust from the Mountain River Seal landed on the ground of the floating island, indistinguishable from a tiny grain of sand, undetected by the two despite numerous scans.

"Now that my Blood Faint Noble Family is in peril, we must not overlook any suspicious activity. It has been five hours. If it were just the defense shield acting up on its own, so be it. But if someone has indeed infiltrated, this elder does not believe they can stay hidden forever."

At this moment, the two Blood Clan elders, though revealed, still showed no intention of leaving, and thus another few hours passed.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Finally, a patrol of Blood Race Soldiers, a hundred strong, came marching from a distance, crossing right over the position of the Mountain River Seal.

In an instant, the dust that was the Mountain River Seal attached itself to one of the Blood Race Soldiers, and soon the troop moved away, leaving only the two Blood Clan elders still watching over the area.

Xiao also did not know the location of the Primordial Blood Pool that supplied energy to the entire Void Floating Island, as all the energy supplies of the entire island were hidden within it.

Along the way, Xiao Chen cautiously controlled the Mountain River Seal, constantly attaching it to different Blood Race Soldiers to avoid alarming them. At least until he located the Primordial Blood Pool, he did not want the Blood Clan to be prepared, especially as he was unclear about the specific prohibitions within the Void Floating Island.

Merely following these patrolling Blood Race Soldiers, Xiao Chen felt the defense mechanisms of the Blood Tribe Floating Island. Although they could not harm him, they could easily entangle him.

In the central area of the Blood Tribe Floating Island, there was a Blood Lake spanning several miles. This was determined by Xiao Chen after constantly switching the Blood Race Soldiers he attached to—it was the most likely location for the Primordial Blood Pool.

The area around this Blood Lake was where the Blood Faint Noble Family’s tribe people usually resided, resembling a common gathering place. There were blood forts of varying sizes built around the Blood Lake, with millions of Blood Clan tribe people living around it.

Because of the unforeseen circumstances, the entire Void Floating Island was in a tense state. Naturally, the tribe people near the Blood Lake were also not exempt as they were repairing weapons and preparing for battle.

As the soldiers walked through the forts, the Mountain River Seal fell from the body of a Blood Race Soldier and attached itself to an ordinary Blood Clan tribe person who was heading towards the Blood Lake.

"Great ancestors, your descendants are praying, bless our Blood Faint Noble Family to survive this catastrophe."

"Pray to protect the Blood Faint Clan, through this life and death crisis."

Around the Blood Lake, countless Blood Clan tribe people were praying, constantly throwing blood food or blood stones into the lake. Strangely, these items did not sink immediately upon hitting the water but disappeared at a visible rate, as if their energy was being drained.

Buzz!

Along with a shattered blood stone, the Mountain River Seal fell into the blood water. Under the blood-colored ripples, Xiao Chen carefully controlled the descent of the Mountain River Seal.

Decayed bones were stacked layer upon layer, including Human Warriors, fierce beasts, and even other species from the Hundred Realms, all soaked in the lake’s depths, hidden from the sun for untold years. Some were even eroded away by the bloody waters, riddled with holes. This was the world at the bottom of the Blood Lake.
