The Blazing Great Sage and the Flying Cloud Great Sage, caught in their fanatical excitement, suddenly felt as if a bucket of cold water had been thrown upon them.
Their bodies trembled, and their expressions turned incredibly grim.
The soul lamps of the two young clan leaders were extinguished???
What a joke. After the previous slaughter, who in the Heavenly Demon Domain would still dare to lay hands on their people?
Let alone their young clan leaders.
"Are you sure you're not mistaken!" Bao Lin Great Sage's breathing grew heavy, his eyes glinting with an unsettling red glow.
Beside him, Flying Cloud Great Sage's face was as dark as if water could drip from it.
"R-report to the clan leader, it's like this... they went to pursue someone who stole something from the treasury, and then..." the demon race member stammered.
Following this, the demon race member recounted the entire incident to the clan leaders.
"The Golden Bone of the Primordial Sacred Body was also stolen..." Flying Cloud Great Sage clenched his fists, a tyrannical aura solidifying around him.
"Now, immediately, thoroughly investigate Qing Qiu. I want that guy to pay with blood... and my Golden Bone..." Flying Cloud Great Sage roared again.
Bao Lin Great Sage nodded in agreement. If that person wasn't made to pay, what would become of their position as overlords of the Heavenly Demon Domain?
Hong Xuan Great Sage, standing beside them, remained indifferent, offering no comment.
Heh... You advised me to consider the bigger picture before, and now it's happening to you, yet you're the same...
Hong Xuan Great Sage mused silently.
Could it have been that person who killed them? Hong Xuan Great Sage couldn't help but wonder. If the one who stole the Golden Bone possessed such skill, why would they need to flee?
"Enough! Even if the sky falls now, no one is allowed to leave!"
Just as Bao Lin Great Sage and Flying Cloud Great Sage were discussing revenge, the voice of the black figure beside them echoed in their ears.
Bao Lin Great Sage and Flying Cloud Great Sage stiffened, their internal fires raging even more intensely.
However, due to the black figure's authority, they did not act out.
"Once the Heart of the Blood Demon is absorbed, I won't object even if you raze the entire Heavenly Demon Domain to the ground. But for now, you must... complete my objective..." the black figure continued to speak calmly.
Although the others were deeply unwilling, they could only comply now.
At this moment, the grand formation patterns of the Blood Demon Grand Sacrifice in the sky connected with the mystical power in the blood pool, as if a profound energy was circulating around them.
"Yes, my lord!" Bao Lin Great Sage and Flying Cloud Great Sage responded.
"There's no need to worry too much. The Blood Demon Grand Sacrifice has been set up, and no one can leave. No matter who it is... they cannot escape..." the black figure added.
Hong Xuan Great Sage remained silent, merely observing with a cold eye. He now had only one goal: to absorb the power of the Heart of the Blood Demon and break through to Supreme.
As for revenge, that could wait for later.
Following this, the clan leaders, along with the black figure, initiated the Blood Demon Grand Sacrifice.
The moment the Blood Demon Grand Sacrifice began, the blood pool in the center of the Qing Qiu Royal Palace erupted with a dazzling crimson light.
The countless drops of blood in the pool surged towards the grand formation patterns in the sky like a dragon drinking water.
A terrifying power that devoured everything filled the air.
The crimson formation patterns in the sky grew larger and larger, slowly expanding outwards, seemingly on the verge of covering the entire Qing Qiu and Heavenly Demon Domain.
As the formation patterns spread, the areas they covered were imbued with a fearsome crimson energy.
This crimson energy permeated every corner of the Heavenly Demon Domain.
The demon race members engulfed by this crimson energy let out agonizing cries as their various powers and origins were completely devoured.
As these demon race members of the Heavenly Demon Domain had their powers consumed, a new energy gathered in the sky.
Something seemed to be slowly taking shape.
"Next, we just need to wait for the Heart of the Blood Demon to condense!" the black figure stated.
...
At the same time.
Tang Long, in Anyuan Lake, was also drawn by the crimson light in the sky.
The vicinity of Anyuan Lake seemed to possess a power that resisted the devouring effects of the Blood Demon Grand Sacrifice.
However, the distant anguished roars and screams of the demon race members still reached Anyuan Lake.
The once beautiful and spirit-rich Anyuan Lake was now filled with all sorts of heart-wrenching sounds.
Near Anyuan Lake, many members of the True Dragon Clan were stationed for protection.
"Your Highness, the Blood Demon Grand Sacrifice has begun. We should prepare to act!" A fluctuation in the air signaled the appearance of Xu Xiuyuan, an elder of the True Dragon Clan, who appeared beside Tang Long and said slowly.
Tang Long nodded. Seeing the True Dragon Clan warriors surrounding him, Tang Long felt a sense of security.
Not to mention the other backup plans he had.
The acquisition of the Heart of the Blood Demon would undoubtedly be without any surprises.
...
As time slowly passed.
The Blood Demon Grand Sacrifice operated at full speed.
A terrifying power seemed to be accumulating in the sky.
Many demon race members in the Heavenly Demon Domain were devoured by the power of the Blood Demon Grand Sacrifice.
...
In the ancestral land of the Heavenly Demon Fox Clan in Qing Qiu, Heavenly Demon Domain.
Su Mengli looked up at the terrifying scene in the sky with a worried expression.
The ancestral land was protected by a mysterious power, completely resisting the devouring forces.
"I wonder how many people in the Heavenly Demon Domain will survive!" Su Mengli sighed and murmured.
...
Seven days later.
The entire Heavenly Demon Domain was shrouded in a deathly silence.
The Blood Demon Grand Sacrifice was nearing its final moments.
The vital energy in the blood pool of the Qing Qiu Royal Palace had been completely consumed.
The formation patterns in the sky were brewing with a profound power.
Thick clouds had formed around the formation patterns, and a deep crimson glow appeared within these blood-colored clouds, seemingly obscuring the entire sky.
"The Heart of the Blood Demon is about to condense!" the black figure stood not far from the Royal Palace, gazing at the crimson light in the sky with burning eyes.
At this moment, all the demon race members around the formation were gone.
Only a few of the Demon Great Sages still had many top experts behind them.
Clearly, the rest had been devoured by the power of the Blood Demon Grand Sacrifice.
They had become nourishment for the Heart of the Blood Demon.
The few Demon Great Sages also watched the crimson light in the sky with fervent anticipation.
They had paid so much, and now it was time for their reward.
"Boom boom boom!!!"
After a long while, the formation patterns in the sky unleashed even greater power.
Violent rumbling sounds erupted.
Terrifying auras spread through the sky, and immense power filled every corner of the earth.
Moments later, the crimson glow began to recede.
In the center of the formation patterns, a black and red object, resembling a spiritual embryo, slowly took shape.
"After so many years, I finally see the Heart of the Blood Demon again. This time, no one can stop me!"
