Chapter 675: Annihilating the Blood Emperor (Bonus Chapter)
Crash!
A river of blood emerged, 'drowning' the entirety of the Blood Prison Continent on a cosmic scale.
"It really is the Blood Dao!"
Fang Xing nodded.
The Blood Dao has already transcended the concept of 'blood'.
Besides the core 'Blood Law', it also incorporates parts of the 'Life Law', 'Reproduction Law'...
Of course, these are just parts of the Power of Laws, and the actual outcome depends on the final combination.
It's like how both diamonds and charcoal are made of carbon elements, yet the effects of different law combinations can sometimes far exceed the difference between diamond and charcoal!
'The Blood Dao is merely average... the Blood God Emperor's strength is at most at the Second Step Dao Lord level...'
Fang Xing watched the universe transform into a blood sea, and he noticed this person's act of enveloping the entire Blood Prison Continent: "Is he afraid that the aftermath of our battle will destroy the Blood Prison Continent? He seems like a somewhat competent ruler."
"Fang Xing! Insect Tribe's most wanted, you dare to appear before me?"
The Blood God Emperor immediately made a decision, having already dispatched a divine thought through the Insect Tribe communicator to inform the 'Civilization Eulogist' lord, and now he intended to hold Fang Xing here.
A human Dao Master Realm! Still a fugitive wanted by the Insect Tribe, enough to earn him a great reward!
Crash!
The power of the Blood Dao fell fiercely, turning the universe a crimson red.
Deep red power descended from the sky, landing on Fang Xing.
Boom!
Like roaring waves crashing against coastal rocks, the originally mighty power of the Blood Dao collapsed with a bang!
Behind Fang Xing, an extraordinary phantom appeared.
It resembled the Pangu Demon God who split heaven and earth, with an indescribable Great Sun behind the demon god.
In the demon god's right hand was a gigantic axe.
"Postnatal dao power against Innate dao power... whether in quality or quantity, it's too far behind, truly not an opponent on the same level."
Seeing this scene, Fang Xing suddenly felt a bit indifferent.
He lightly extended a palm.
This palm wasn't the Great Sun Tathagata Divine Palm; even in Blue Star Martial Arts, it could only be considered a rudimentary martial art – Millstone Palm!
Rumble!
Under the blessing of the Dao of Panwu, two enormous chaos-colored millstones appeared in the universe.
Their shadow projected downward, trapping the Blood God Emperor in the middle, slowly starting to grind.
"No!"
The Blood God Emperor, for the first time, was aghast: "You... a Three Steps Dao Lord? Why can't I even withstand a single move from you?"
He couldn't imagine it at all!
After all, Fang Xing was once just a Dharma Master, even during the Transcendence Secret Realm, the Blood God Emperor confirmed that his progress was enough to crush this man.
If it weren't for the concerns about the Star Sky Civilization back then, Fang Xing would've definitely had to pay the price.
Yet who would've thought...
It hasn't been many years, and yet the opponent advanced dramatically, becoming a Dao Master!
Meeting Fang Xing instead led to his own crushing defeat!
Even the slowly descending chaos millstone made his escape difficult!
"Lord Fang Xing, won!"
Inside the conference room, a hint of joy appeared on the faces of the Sea Clan people from the Deep Sea Civilization witnessing this scene: "As expected of Lord Fang Xing, our Sea Clan's eternal friend, the most amicable existence..."
Fang Xing initially appeared within the Sea Clan's domain.
As he joined the Star Sky Civilization, he became an old friend of the Sea Clan.
Envoys from other civilizations secretly cursed this Sea Clan person's shamefulness, feeling extremely conflicted.
As humans, they held pride, naturally unwilling to bow to the Insect Tribe.
Watching a human Dao Master thrash the Blood God Emperor undeniably pleased them.
But after feeling pleased, what's next?
How should they clean up the current cosmic mess?
"Did he... actually make a move?"
Above the Blood Prison Continent, despite the layers of blood sea, Xiao still saw the ant-like Blood God Emperor atop the millstone.
"Haha, Xiao, you joined the Star Sky Civilization around the same time as that lord. How is it that now he can casually suppress a Fourteenth Realm Dao Master while you're still stuck at the Thirteenth Realm as a Dharma Master?"
From within the Primordial Nightmare Palace, came Kui Lan's unrelenting mockery.
"But... Lord Kui Lan..."
At that moment, the Primordial Nightmare Beast at Kui Lan's feet spoke up: "You also know that lord, you've previously suffered at his hands... But at that time, your strengths were more alike."
"If you can't speak properly, shut your mouth."
Kui Lan instantly sealed the Primordial Nightmare Palace, just barely preventing the voice of the little beast at his feet from leaking out.
'But... he has already reached this step?'
After jesting with his friend, Kui Lan looked at the current Fang Xing, feeling extremely emotional.
Suddenly, his expression changed drastically: "Not good!"
Rumble!
The Primordial Nightmare Palace thundered, pulling Xiao inside.
"What are you doing?"
Xiao asked curiously.
"Look..."
Kui Lan's expression was extremely solemn, manifesting the Blood Prison Continent.
At this moment, one dark ritual after another formed across the continent.
The entire continent seemed to have been inscribed with Dao patterns in advance, transforming it into a grand formation, or rather... a slaughterhouse!
One by one, the humans of the Blood Prison Civilization screamed and wailed... turning into droplets of blood, merging into the Blood Sea above the Sky Dome!
Even the powerful beings of the Star Lord Realm and Dharma Master Realm could not escape!
"Damn it, it's the Blood Prison Divine Emperor. He intends to perform a blood sacrifice of countless living beings to the Blood Dao... thus gaining feedback from the power of the Dao to escape his predicament."
Kui Lan cursed, "To think I believed he wanted to protect this continent, but it turns out he only wanted to protect his sacrifices... Indeed, when such powerful beings face their own death, they stop pretending. Our Primordial Nightmare Beasts would never harm any of our own kind."
Beside him, a young Primordial Nightmare Beast raised its head and glared sullenly at Kui Lan without saying much.
"Help me!"
The situation had become extremely dire by now, and with a loud cry, Kui Lan continuously injected the power of laws into the palace.
Even though two Dharma Masters joined forces, the sound of corrosion from outside could still be heard.
From the Blood Sea, scarlet droplets continuously fell, striking the Primordial Nightmare Palace.
Even though this Supreme Treasure was crafted specifically for the protection of a Dharma Master, and Kui Lan had spent almost all his merits on it after entering the Exotic Beast Civilization, and even had it reinforced by a Dao Master...
Yet, under the erosion of the Blood Dao, the surface of the Primordial Nightmare Palace immediately became pitted and rusted with blood.
It seemed as though it would be engulfed by the endless Blood Sea at the next moment...
...
Outside the Blood Prison Continent.
"Oh?"
Fang Xing was a bit surprised to see the Blood Prison Divine Emperor barely holding on under the chaotic grinding disc.
After taking a closer look, he laughed softly, "I see... no wonder it's the Blood Dao, and it even includes part of the 'Blood Sacrifice Law'? Sacrificing innumerable living beings can indeed grant you a powerful blessing in a short time... I really underestimated you."
"But... what does it feel like to sacrifice countless of your own people, those who worship you, even your friends, subordinates, and disciples...? Do you truly... wish to live that much?"
The Blood Prison Divine Emperor did not answer, only a weak blood light struggled between the two grinding discs.
"Hmm?"
Fang Xing turned abruptly, as if he heard a strange song in his ear.
This song was both desolate and majestic... like the final requiem of a civilization, making one almost tear up upon hearing it.
——Civilization's Elegy!
"The Elegy Singer has arrived!"
Hope suddenly burst forth in the eyes of the Blood Prison Divine Emperor.
And then...
He felt the two grinding discs suddenly become immeasurably heavier!
Seeing the main player about to descend, Fang Xing directly used a thread of Innate Panwu power.
Rumble!
The power of chaos fiercely ground down, and before the Blood Prison Divine Emperor could even scream, his body was ground away, followed by his core and Dao power...
Awoo!
A Destruction Demon Wolf appeared, tracing along the Blood Prison Divine Emperor's body, instantly locating his countless hidden avatars, incarnations, blood embryos... and even the Dao Seed hidden within the Origin Tao Layer of the Blood Dao!
The Blood Dao contained part of the Life Law, and experts in this field were always adept at self-preservation.
But when faced with Fang Xing, it was no use complaining.
After all, destruction and life are inherently extreme opposites, countering each other.
"The Blood Prison Divine Emperor... has fallen?"
"The blood rain has stopped, thank goodness!"
The battered Primordial Nightmare Palace disappeared, and Xiao and Kui Lan rushed out of the unlucky place that was the Blood Prison Continent.
By this time, less than one in ten thousand of the living beings on this continent had survived.
Those lucky enough to live were filled with resentment toward the Blood Prison Divine Emperor.
If belief could give rise to a powerful being, there should now be a 'God of Revenge' and 'Curse God' emerging from the hatred of all beings.
However, the resentment of the weak is almost meaningless to truly powerful beings.
The only thing millions of living beings could do was use their own Essence Blood to sacrifice to the Blood Dao, enhancing the Blood Prison Divine Emperor's Dao power, only to be slapped to death by Fang Xing!
"Is this the battle between Dao Master Realms? It's terrifying."
Kui Lan spoke with lingering fear.
"No... was that really a battle?"
Xiao murmured, suddenly moved his ears, and uncontrollably teared up: "Did you hear it?"
"I think I heard... an elegy..."
Kui Lan wiped his face, realizing his cheeks were wet with tears, and saw the ruins of countless civilizations before him: "Not good, it's the Civilization Eulogist, the most powerful being among the insect clan today!"
"Quick, let's go!"
Yet, before the two Dharma Masters could leave, a wave in the void flashed.
An insect race resembling a human, clad in green armor with two antennae on its forehead, appeared in front of Fang Xing.
The sound of the elegy in the void suddenly became intense.
If it were an ordinary Dao Master Realm, they might even lose the will to resist due to the sorrow.
"Innate Dao Seed? Four Steps Dao Master? Top-level Dao?"
The Civilization Eulogist looked at Fang Xing, a hint of surprise appearing on his face: "I didn't expect... the Star Sky Civilization still hides such an existence who has also reached the extreme of the Dao Master Realm!"
...
"What?"
In the Void Universe, the Ten Thousand Swords Dao Master opened his eyes wide: "Fang Xing has already ascended to the Four Steps Dao Master Realm? Did he previously disappear to risk a breakthrough?"
He slapped himself hard, his face showing intense regret.
