Chapter 693: Chapter 367: The Fierce Young Man from the Spiritual Realm
The Divine Realm, Qinghua state, was in utter chaos, with sounds of battle, screams of agony, and the roars of martial artists everywhere.
One city after another turned into a city of the dead.
In Linguan City, where the Divine Bridge originated, a heaven-shaking battle was taking place, as a few powerful figures fought a fierce battle in midair against more than a dozen blood-colored figures.
Bloodlight illuminated the sky, and within it, there was the thunderous roar of lightning. However, the powerful lightning was being suppressed by the bloodlight and seemed unable to hold out much longer.
Below, in Linguan City, a massacre was playing out.
Hundreds of blood-colored figures were reaping lives, as resistance from martial artists proved futile.
Boom!
Qi of blood pervaded Linguan City, as the martial artists' blood congregated to form roiling evil spirits.
Crimson long knives were slaughtering everywhere within the city, slicing open one throat after another. The blood, as if drawn by some force, didn't splatter on the ground but instead turned into qi of blood, converging towards the center of the city.
At the city's center, within the original City Lord's mansion, a blood pool was bubbling with blood foam, shrouded in qi of blood and surrounded by lurking evil spirits.

Boom!
"Beasts of Blood Shadow Tower, you deserve to die! Bastards from the Netherworld, this vengeance will be repaid!"
An angry and sorrowful roar echoed from the sky.
However, all was in vain.
As the throat of the last person was slit and their fresh blood turned into qi of blood, converging into the blood pool within the City Lord's mansion, Lingguang City became a dead city!
The blood pool emitted qi of blood as if it was boiling, seemingly cooking the blood. The blood within the pool kept condensing and decreasing in volume.
In the end, it turned into a dark red jelly, permeated with a faint smell of blood and wafting with an unknown scent of aroma.
Several Blood Shadows appeared around the blood pool, their eyes ablaze with excitement and greed as if beholding the finest delicacy in the world.
They took out crimson knives and began to divide the dark red jelly, storing it into boxes one by one.
Boom!
Suddenly, there was a tremor from the canyon standing outside Linguan City. A rainbow light surged forward.
"The Divine Bridge has opened, how is that possible!"
In midair, a man with a flaming red beard wielding dual hammers surrounded by thunderous lightning, fighting alone against three Blood Shadows, wore a look of shock and disbelief on his face.
The Divine Bridge had collapsed, the Spiritual Realm had lost connection!
According to estimates, the Spiritual Realm had probably fallen and become a living hell.
Even the Immortal Heavenly Venerable could only descend into the Spiritual Realm and was incapable of reconnecting the shattered Divine Bridge. The only option was to wait for the bridge to heal itself.
Yet, it hadn't been long at all. According to estimates, it was far from the time when the Divine Bridge should have been able to heal itself.
At this moment, Cheng Zhan felt his heart sink. Could it be that the formidable enemies from the Netherworld had found a way to repair the Divine Bridge and then invade the Divine Realm from the Spiritual Realm?
If that were true, then Qinghua state was in peril!
"Kill!"
Cheng Zhan bellowed in rage, his body wreathed in fierce lightning. His pair of hammers whipped up violent thunderstorms as he lashed out at the three Blood Shadows.
He was an elder of Myriad Thunder Sect, in the late stages of the Truth Refinement Realm, and a True King Heavenly Venerable whose strength was renowned throughout the entire Qinghua state.
After the collapse of the Divine Bridge, he led the strong warriors of Myriad Thunder Sect and Tianwu Sect in support, hoping to rescue the Spiritual Realm, only to be intercepted.
Breaking through the encirclement, he encountered an ambush in Linguan City, which was now undergoing a blood sacrifice!
Despite the violent thunderstorms showing some restraining effect against the evil spirit of blood, Cheng Zhan fell into a disadvantage being outnumbered three to one. Besides, he had already exhausted a great deal along the way and could barely hold on any longer.
Boom!
From the gap in the canyon, rainbow light was shining through. It was certain that the Divine Bridge was open and someone had ascended it!
"The Divine Bridge? Let's see who comes from the Spiritual Realm. Could it be a young hero?"
A Blood Shadow uttered a chilling laugh.
The battle raged on, and the Blood Shadows that had blood-sacrificed Linguan City had already converged toward the canyon's exit, waiting for those to arrive.
...
The Flying Boat finally crossed the Divine Bridge and reached the Divine Realm.
"The spiritual energy has grown much denser, and the Domain Lingji seems to be exceedingly active."
Xu Yan remarked with surprise.
As expected of the Divine Realm, a place for the stronger warriors, he now felt the same way he did when he first stepped from the Inner Domain into the Spiritual Realm.
Wu Tianan and others also followed on the Flying Boat, excited upon arriving at the Divine Realm. Especially Wu Tianan, who felt he could make a breakthrough at any moment.
The Flying Boat flew toward a massive canyon. Just as they entered the canyon and before truly entering the Divine Realm, they sensed something was amiss.
The evil spirit of blood was pervading the air.
And with it, the rumbling of a great battle also reached them.
"The Divine Realm is indeed in turmoil!"
Fang Hao sighed.
No wonder no powerful warriors had come to the aid of the Spiritual Realm.
At the canyon's exit, Blood Shadows were thick on the ground, hundreds of them waiting, ready to pounce on their prey.
The hearts of Wu Tianan and others following the Flying Boat sank. Their strength was still weak; with the Divine Realm in such chaos, the status of their Upper Sect was uncertain.
Could it be that upon entering the Divine Realm, they might be reduced to Loose Cultivators?
"These are the Blood Slaves of the Netherworld... no, that's not quite right, they seem different from Blood Slaves!"
Xu Yan said, furrowing his brows.
"The Cultivation Technique they practice in refining blood is almost indistinguishable from that of Blood Slaves."
Li Xuan's brow creased slightly. To think his first sight upon entering the Divine Realm would be such a scene.
Before them, a fierce battle was underway, and below in that city, everyone was gone. A faint scent of blood hung in the air—it had become a city of the dead!
Blood sacrifice!
A whole city had been blood-sacrificed. Though he had heard tales of blood sacrifice in the Spiritual Realm, he had never witnessed it with his own eyes.
Now, a city that had undergone a blood sacrifice lay before him, and even though Li Xuan considered himself above others, unshakable by any worldly matters, the sight still struck a chord.
