Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

Zhao Sheng heard this, a bitter smile crossed his face, and just as he was about to say something more, suddenly the skin at the center of his forehead burst open, and his sturdy skull cracked open with dense fissures.

His body swayed involuntarily, and his energy greatly declined.

Having narrowly escaped death time and again, such escapes were not without a price—the price was that Zhao Sheng had suffered consecutive heavy injuries, his spirit nearly exhausted, and his Primordial Qi severely damaged.

Zhao Sheng steadied himself, smiled slightly at Mu Gongyang and his companion, and silently mouthed three words: “I… won!”

Mu Gongyang’s expression turned fierce, but in the next instant, his face dramatically changed.

With a loud “crack,” two clusters of yellow light fell from the sky.

Mu Gongyang’s body burst into a blaze of Thunder Light, crackling as he turned into Electric Light and escaped a hundred yards in an instant.

Li Daoheng wasn’t as alert, only feeling a sudden stiffness throughout his body, a flash of yellow light on both sides, and an arm fell from his shoulder, leaving him chilled.

This naturally gave Li Daoheng a great shock, and with an angry roar, his body burst into numerous fierce sword lights. After piercing through the yellow light’s confinement, he instantly tunneled away in a flash of light.

The arm that was severed then burst open with a loud bang, turning into nothingness.

At the same time, Zhao Changdu descended from the sky with a murderous aura, flashed through the Floating Fortress, and landed on the deck, turning his gaze upwards.

Xiao Fengfeng appeared a step too late, and seeing her side at a disadvantage, she couldn’t help but frown fiercely, her eyes harshly staring at Zhao Changdu.

“To think you would sneak attack the younger generation! You, Zhao Changdu, have truly lost all shame. Are you trying to break the rules?”

“Ha, this old man was merely teaching him a lesson, giving him a taste of bullying by the mighty. Besides, I didn’t take his life; that doesn’t count as breaking the rules, right?” Zhao Changdu replied nonchalantly.

The so-called rules actually refer to a tacit agreement where Late-stage Nascent Souls and above Cultivators are not allowed to attack those below the Middle-stage Nascent Soul arbitrarily during war, and conflicts must only be engaged by those of the same level.

As the two Late-stage Nascent Soul Cultivators ceased clashing, the situation on the battlefield gradually became clear.

The Tianzhu Realm’s defense formation was set, many Flying Magical Treasures gathered within tens of miles, numerous Spirit Stone Cannons unleashed their might, emitting astonishing columns of light that danced across the sky, causing the forces from the Netherworld to continuously dodge.

At first glance, it appeared as if a giant hedgehog covered in spines had been added to the sky, slowly moving toward the vortex of the Star Gate above.

At this time, the Netherworld seemed like a large net spreading out on all sides, trapping the enemy in the center, yet unable to prevent the opponent from retreating back to their realm.

Seeing the space-time vortex gradually approaching, Zhao Sheng felt relieved.

Just as a small part of the Floating Fortress entered the vortex, it was Zhao Sheng’s fortress’s turn when a sudden change occurred!

Zhao Sheng’s spirit was severely shaken as he saw the boundless Heavenly Curtain behind the space-time vortex suddenly transform into an endless Blood Sea, from which an unimaginable Heavenly Might descended.

At the same time, a face with narrow, emotionless eyes quickly emerged from the Blood Sea.

This face was immensely vast, covering the entire sky as if the heavens themselves had descended upon the world.

Everyone on the battlefield was extremely shocked, their spirits captivated.

People like Zhao Sheng, Zhao Changdu, and Xiao Fengfeng instantly realized that the Blood God, who had usurped the Heavenly Dao, had now descended.

At this moment, the vast majority of Cultivators in the Netherworld, upon seeing the Blood Face, immediately knelt down and instinctively bowed repeatedly.

In contrast, those from the Tianzhu Realm showed horrified and desperate expressions.

Zhao Sheng couldn’t help but show a bitter smile on his face.

“Man’s plans are inferior to those of heaven”, he had merely wanted to steal a fragment of the Heavenly Dao, yet it resulted in the Blood God personally appearing, seeming like he could not escape his fate now.
