In the void, an Azure Dragon constructed from immense Spiritual Power slowly opened its eyes. A terrifying Spiritual Pressure emanated from it.

Under the Azure Dragon’s terrifying Spiritual Pressure, the Power of Void Demon within the Blood Demon Clan’s experts was suppressed by ten percent.

A mocking glint flashed in Balao Na’s eyes as he chuckled. "It’s useless! Wu Zhongchao, since we managed to sneak in here undetected, did you really think we wouldn’t have a counter for this Azure Dragon Spirit Array?"

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

A series of terrifying explosions erupted. Within Azure Dragon Spirit City, building after building—some dozens, others hundreds of stories tall—blew apart.

In the void, the Azure Dragon had only just taken form when it let out a pained shriek and disintegrated.

Wu Zhongchao frowned. "A traitor in Azure Dragon Spirit City! One of your people?"

Azure Dragon Spirit City was heavily fortified. It was guarded by countless experts, and numerous reconnaissance Secret Treasures monitored every single Spiritual Power Node. For Balao Na to destroy them in an instant, there was only one possibility: a traitor was inside Azure Dragon Spirit City, and a high-ranking one at that.

Balao Na looked at Wu Zhongchao, his eyes filled with admiration. "But of course! There are far more traitors among your Human Race than you could ever imagine. Wu Zhongchao, are you willing to join our Sacred Blood Clan? If you are, I can request a drop of the Blood of the Ancestor on your behalf and transform you into a high noble of our Blood Demon Clan!"

In less than a century, Wu Zhongchao had become a top-tier expert across three worlds—a terrifying feat of strength. Even among the many Spirit Saints on Blue Star, he was a prodigy of the highest caliber.

If Wu Zhongchao were to join the Blood Demon Clan, he would undoubtedly become one of their most terrifying members, possibly even reaching the Divine Spirit Level.

"Hahaha! You think a mere drop of the Blood of the Ancestor is enough to buy me? I might consider it for a whole bottle of Ancestor True Blood! Now, eat my fist! Hungry Ghost Path!"

Wu Zhongchao roared with laughter. A cold glint flashed in his eyes as his Spiritual Power flared and he threw a punch.

The void dimmed and the world itself seemed to shift. A hundred-meter-tall Ghost King with a protruding belly, a savage expression, and an aura of ghastly Ghost Qi materialized from the void. It opened its mouth and inhaled.

The terrifying Blood Flame—flames capable of incinerating even a Demigod—was sucked into the Ghost King’s stomach.

Endless streams of Blood Flame poured from Balao Na’s body, and the Ghost King’s stomach began to swell, expanding meter by meter.

A Spirit Sect Realm Spiritual Spear Master fired at Balao Na. A beam of white light struck Balao Na’s protective shroud of Blood Flame and vanished without a trace.

’I see I’ve been far too lenient!’

Balao Na’s gaze was impassive. With a flick of his finger, a speck of Blood Flame the size of a mung bean shot out like a meteor and instantly landed on the Spirit Sect Realm Spiritual Spear Master from the Human Race.

The Spiritual Spear Master screamed in agony. His blood began to boil, serving as fuel for that single speck of Blood Flame. He became a human torch, letting out a bloodcurdling wail.

Witnessing this, the other Spirit Sect Realm experts of the Human Race felt a chill in their hearts, their understanding of Balao Na’s terrifying power deepening once again.

’What a terrifying monster! He’s just too powerful!’

Shu Feng immediately activated the Lord of the Dark Night’s Magic Ring, turning invisible and moving to the side. Seeing Balao Na’s terrifying power, a chill went down his spine, and he began to silently inch his way toward the edge of the battlefield.

The battle between two titans like Balao Na and Wu Zhongchao was simply not something a small fry like Shu Feng could interfere with.

The fate of Azure Dragon Spirit City wouldn’t be decided by the clash between the Marquis Level Void Demons and the Spirit Venerable Realm Spiritual Spear Masters. It rested solely on the outcome of the battle between Balao Na and Wu Zhongchao. Once a winner was decided, they would completely annihilate the loser’s side.

Suddenly, Wu Zhongchao’s body shuddered. A small wound on his back abruptly burst open, spraying a stream of black, foul-smelling blood. His face paled slightly.

In the void, the Ghost King’s body trembled. Wisps of Blood Flame spilled from its mouth, landing on its body and immediately beginning to burn it.

Balao Na said coolly, "Wu Zhongchao, you’ve been afflicted with the deadly poison, Fall of the Divine. No matter how profound the Great Wheel Temple’s sacred Sutra of the Six Paths of Reincarnation may be, if you don’t surrender today, your only path is death."

Fall of the Divine was a terrifying poison developed by the Void Demon Clan. Refining it required the complete corpse of a Divine Spirit. Once created, the poison was potent enough to kill even a Demigod.

Empress Dugu herself had once used Fall of the Divine to poison the then world-renowned Spirit Saint, Wen Tianshu.

’Fall of the Divine is truly something else! This was the one thing I didn’t see coming. And to think, Jiang Changming was the good brother who once saved my life.’

Wu Zhongchao’s face was as pale as parchment, but he suddenly grinned. He took out a silver Jade Token and tossed it to the ground. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Upon the floor of the Grand Martial Arts Arena, a profound and mysterious Curse Seal instantly materialized.

Silver chains shot up from the ground, striking toward Balao Na with the speed of lightning.

The Blood Flame that wreathed Balao Na, capable of incinerating anything, instantly set the silver chains alight. Despite this, the chains still bound him tightly.

Balao Na frowned slightly and said coolly, "This Secret Treasure, the Silver Divine Lock, can only hold me for five breaths at most. After those five breaths, you die!"

Wu Zhongchao grinned. "Five breaths is more than enough!"

A seemingly ordinary young man, who had been hiding in a corner, suddenly waved his hands.

A Void Gate materialized out of thin air.

Ding Xiaoxue, dressed in a snow-white dress and possessing an ethereal, goddess-like aura, stepped through the Void Gate. In her delicate hand, she held a mysterious Spiritual Spear that was a deep, layered blue, engraved with incredibly mystical Spirit Patterns. It was as beautiful as a masterpiece of art, captivating anyone who laid eyes upon it.

"Void Blue Night! What is that doing here? I thought it was masterless! How can it be here?"

Balao Na, who until this moment had been perfectly composed, as if he had everything under control, turned pale at the sight of the blue Spiritual Spear. A flicker of raw Fear shone in his eyes as he cried out in shock.

That blue Spiritual Spear, as beautiful as a work of art, was none other than one of the Seven Great Holy Spears: Void Blue Night!

A Holy Spear that had once slain a Divine Spirit!

Ding Xiaoxue raised Void Blue Night, locked onto Balao Na, and pulled the trigger.

In an instant, a swath of blue light appeared. Within the void, the brilliant blue radiance was intermittently shrouded in darkness.

A Marquis Level Blood Demon was enveloped by the darkness, and when it became visible again, all that remained was a withered skeleton.
