Chapter 129 - Blood Devouring Domain

Long Chen was surprised at what the Great Priest had said!

All he could do was buy time, but the Great Priest was visibly impatient. Even though four of the Sect Elders had been killed, the Sanguine Sacrificial Ceremony had to continue!

As long as I get to bathe in the blood pool, I can advance into the mid Earthly Core Realm. When I show that I have the talent, I will be able to get the recognition I deserve once I get back to Yuandi City!

The Great Priest laughed maniacally.

“Everyone, kill the women! Protectors, kill the three intruders!”

Four out of the eight Protectors had been killed. The remaining four were at the mid Human Core Realm. Two of them intercepted the two Li brothers while the other two intercepted Li Jing. The rest of the sect members ran towards the unarmed women!

The sect members were already excited for the ceremony, so it didn’t take a lot to wind them up enough to kill those hundreds of women. Even if Li Jing and the rest were to break through their encirclement, it would be of no use.

But Long Chen was most concerned about the Sect Elder called Granny Huang. She had produced a dagger and was about to stab Yang Lingqing’s pale neck.

“You must be anxious and angry right now, but do you think you can escape my grasp?”

The Great Priest blocked Long Chen and chuckled.

Even though the Great Priest looked relaxed, he could easily launch another attack. Long Chen was strong, but he could not rescue Yang Lingqing right now. The common members were just about to reach the women!

“Everyone, kill them all! Once we kill all of the ladies, we can become stronger!”

“Hahaha! After tonight, all of us will have a bright future! After we kill these women, we can capture even more!”

The women cried louder after hearing they were going to be killed. Some of them even fainted from shock.

“Animals!”

Long Chen’s eyes were completely blood-red. He clenched his fists, his body trembling from rage.

I promised my family that I would bring Yang Lingqing back, but I am too powerless! I need power! Power! I need more!

Long Chen lowered his head while he continued to tremble. An ancient aura exploded from his body, causing the Great Priest to stop laughing.

“What is this?”

Just as he was feeling confused by the sudden aura, Long Chen roared. His roar was so loud that the entire underground city shook.

The Great Priest noticed that Long Chen’s eyes had transformed. His pupils were now glowing blood-red, and various crimson dragon patterns started appearing on his scales. It started from his face and spread all the way down to his legs.

ROOOOAR!

A dragon’s roar shook the heavens and the earth. Everyone was so surprised by the sound that they stopped in their tracks.

The numerous blood dragons within Long Chen’s body were roaring, and a massive amount of energy surged into his mind.

“Is this ... Blood Transmutation?”

Ling Xi had started preparing her attack when she saw that Yang Lingqing was in grave danger, disregarding her own life.

But Long Chen, who had been lamenting about how powerless he was and craving more power, suddenly changed! His body had transformed to fulfill his wishes.

Long Chen was surrounded by a crimson whirlpool. When the power of the whirlpool revealed itself, everyone affiliated with the Blood Saints were shocked.

“What’s happening?!”

Even the Great Priest felt his blood moving against his wishes, much less everyone else. Under the effect of Long Chen’s bloody whirlpool, numerous people started crying out in pain.

Those below the Fifth Draconic Stage were the first to die. They were experiencing what Bai Zhanxiong had experienced before. Soon, those above the Fifth Draconic Stage were affected too.

Everyone who identified as a Blood Saint was affected.

Fresh blood flowed out of their bodies and surged towards Long Chen. After being filtered by the whirlpool, the blood transformed into Qi and was absorbed by Long Chen.

Blood was the strength of all living beings; it signified the extension and inheritance of life.

This was why cultivation methods like Blood Transmutation were born. The strength hidden within blood was too powerful.

“What’s happening?”

All of the Blood Saints were affected. The weaker ones fell to the ground and lost their blood. Even the stronger ones were not spared. Granny Huang, who was at the late Human Core Realm, was suppressing her blood with difficulty. The dagger in her hand fell to the ground.

Li Jing and the two brothers were stunned once more.

Their opponents, while at the mid Human Core Realm, were unable to control their bodies, and their faces were contorted.

Li Jing seized the opportunity, throwing her flying daggers straight through their hearts. In an instant, all the blood in their bodies gushed out and flew towards Long Chen.

Even though the trio didn’t know what was happening, they exchanged glances and knew what they needed to do. They roared and killed as much as they could while Li Jing charged towards Granny Huang.

“What kind of monster are you?!”

Even though his sect members were being massacred, the Great Priest couldn’t turn his attention away now.

He was doing his best to suppress his blood from running amok due to Long Chen’s absorption. He had a feeling that if he used too much Qi and attacked Long Chen with a strong technique, his body would explode and he would die like the others.

Long Chen’s bloody whirlpool was currently at its strongest! With the help of Li Jing and the others, many of the sect members became dried husks.

The captured women, however, were not feeling terrified by the scene. To them, the deplorable sect members were dying like animals! They felt happy and relieved instead.

Everyone stared at the eye of the bloody whirlpool. None of them had seen Long Chen before, and all of them were trying to figure out what was happening.

“Those animals! They want to use our blood to cultivate, but now he’s the one who’s absorbing their blood instead! The heavens have given them their retribution!”

Yang Lingqing stared wide-eyed at her cousin.

This was not the first time he had turned a dire situation around. There were too many secrets hidden in Long Chen’s body, and he had become this strong in a short amount of time thanks to it.

As the Great Priest watched his sect members die en masse, he realized that if this continued, there would be no survivors. The Great Priest was staring daggers at Long Chen.

“Granny Huang, kill the Dark Yin Body!”

The Great Priest turned around only to see that Li Jing was fighting Granny Huang. Both of them were at the late Human Core Realm, but since Granny Huang was being suppressed by Long Chen’s whirlpool, Li Jing was able to wound Granny Huang in no time. Fresh blood sprayed out of her wound and converged on Long Chen.

“AAAAAAAAAAAH!”

Granny Huang cried out in despair, her wrinkled body becoming even more dried out. She became a mummy just like the others in no time.

The sect members slowly died one by one and were mummified. It was a grand sight to behold. After the death of Granny Huang, all the others soon fell over and died.

The Great Priest was shocked. He was the only surviving Blood Saint left. Everyone else had perished.

Those at the Draconic Realm had been killed by Long Chen’s technique. Those beyond the Draconic Realm had been killed by Li Jing and the two brothers. Long Chen had killed more than a thousand people!

He had never imagined he would become a murderer today, but now was not the time to think about it. After Granny Huang’s blood essence entered his body and became Qi, the barrier to stopping him from reaching the late Human Core Realm started to weaken!

Endless blood-red Qi swirled in his dantian and entered his Human Core. The Human Core became smaller the more it absorbed, until it shrank another ten percent.

Is this the strength of a cultivator at the late Human Core Realm? So this is what it feels like to be at the real Human Core Realm ...

After dismissing his technique, the underground city returned back to normal.

But all of the Blood Saints were already dead!

Mummified husks were strewn everywhere, making the place look terrifying.

Long Chen and the Great Priest were standing in the blood pool while the two Li brothers went to save the captured women. Li Jing, however, went to save Yang Lingqing and released her from the metal pole.

Even though the immediate danger was gone, the situation was still not looking good, because the Great Priest was still alive!

Long Chen’s technique was only effective against those at the Draconic Realm. Anyone above that realm, like Granny Huang, was more than capable of withstanding it as long as no one attacked them.

When Long Chen used that technique, the movements of the Great Priest were restricted, but it was insufficient to harm him.

The technique was slightly different from Blood Transmutation—it had a larger area of effect. Long Chen had only managed to use it thanks to the urgent situation!

Even though it was based on Blood Transmutation, the technique had another name: Blood Devouring Domain.

It was the Great Priest’s turn to glare at Long Chen angrily.

“Every single one of you must die!”
