The blood curtain churned like a raging sea.

Countless streams of blood surged from the earth, converging overhead into a massive mass of blood.

The mass of blood twisted into a humanoid shape and sprouted wings, and then a Bloodkind emerged from within.

Yan Kuangsheng and Meng Anwen only glanced at him once, yet both felt an overwhelming sense of danger.

The Bloodkind resembled humans, but they were far leaner—over two meters tall, yet weighing barely half as much as an average human. They looked like long, spindly poles.

A pair of massive wings beat slowly behind the Bloodkind, each flap producing a sharp, snapping crack.

He snorted in disdain, “Trash, you have disgraced the great Blood Ancestor. You have no right to exist.”

Shirov’s head, still clutched in Yan Kuangsheng’s hand, exploded without warning. Then the remaining Bloodkind slaves burst apart one after another.

For Bloodkind slaves, life and death were never their own.

The Bloodkind acted as though he had done something trivial, “For our first meeting, allow me to introduce myself. I am Adam of the Bloodkind.”

“You killed my blood slaves, yet refused to become my new ones.”

“Therefore, I formally sentence you to death.”

Adam’s voice was bone-chilling. As he spoke, the blood curtain roared like a tidal wave.

“Death my ass!” Yan Kuangsheng roared, releasing a dark ray infused with the law of murderous aura.

Adam smiled contemptuously, “You know nothing of true power.”

He raised a finger and tapped the dark ray, and the dark ray collapsed instantly.

Adam trembled only slightly as he blocked the attack.

Meng Anwen narrowed his eyes, “Old Yan, keep pressing!”

With a roar, Yan Kuangsheng attacked again, dark murderous aura billowing like a tide to engulf Adam.

Adam chuckled darkly, “It’s useless. You haven’t even reached half-step Transcendent God-level. In my eyes, you’re nothing but ants.”

Yan Kuangsheng bellowed back, “We aren’t ants, and you aren’t an elephant! But even if we were, enough ants can bite a Dragon to death, let alone an elephant!”

“Exactly!”

Flames erupted across Adam’s body.

Ning Tairan had returned and, while manipulating the law of fire, joined the battle.

Blood-colored law surged around Adam, instantly snuffing out the flames. At the same time, he threw a punch.

A colossal bloody fist materialized, smashing Yan Kuangsheng back several thousand meters with a deafening boom.

Yan Kuangsheng shouted and charged right back.

Ye Hao arrived as well, his spear trembling as he entered the fray.

Three level 96 high-tier God-level now fought Adam together.

Meng Anwen watched with narrowed eyes. Gradually, he realized Adam wasn’t as strong as he first appeared.

His true body might be powerful, but what stood here wasn’t the true body but only a clone condensed from blood.

And Meng Anwen could sense power continuously flowing from the blood curtain into the clone, replenishing its energy.

During the previous battle, countless people in the Eagle Kingdom had died. Their flesh and blood had all merged into the blood curtain.

“I’ve played enough. Now die.”

“Blood Wash!”

Adam laughed coldly and unleashed a massive wave of bloody light, blasting the three men away.

All three were wounded.

Meng Anwen still couldn’t determine Adam’s exact level, but it was clear he had not reached half-step Transcendent God-level yet.

He was likely between level 98 and half-step Transcendent God-level.

If so, they had a chance.

“Stall him!” Meng Anwen’s voice rang in the others’ ears.

As the trio closed in on Adam once more, Meng Anwen flew into the Shenxia Tower.

The tower plunged straight into the blood curtain as if a bolt of lightning.

Then the Shenxia Tower began devouring the blood curtain.

Though not as vast as the Trial Tower, the Shenxia Tower contained immense internal space.

As the blood curtain was drawn inside, it transformed into a roiling sea of blood within the tower.

The blood curtain, which had covered more than half the world, began shrinking rapidly.

Sensing its power weakening, Adam screeched, “You’re courting death!”

He struck the Shenxia Tower with a punch. Brilliant golden light erupted from the tower as formations formed to block the attack.

As a legendary-grade item, the Shenxia Tower was extremely durable.

And with Meng Anwen’s constant infusion of law and layers of defensive formations, even Adam could not breach it in a short time.

Worse still for him, Yan Kuangsheng and the other two kept him occupied, preventing him from focusing his full strength on the tower.

As more of the blood curtain was absorbed, Adam’s power began to wane.

He flew into a frenzy, “You have provoked me! You lowly ants all deserve to die!”

A streak of red light shot from his body into the blood curtain.

“Blood sacrifice! I summon the ancestor’s descent!”

Across the world, every blood slave exploded at once. Not a single one survived. A massive torrent of blood poured into the blood curtain.

The shrunken blood curtain expanded instantly, even larger than before, engulfing the entire world.

It blotted out sky and sun alike, turning the Human World crimson.

Then came the sound of a heartbeat.

It echoed from within the blood curtain, as though some colossal being were awakening.

With every pulse, the blood curtain’s influence multiplied.

Within the Shenxia Empire, countless people lost their sanity. Seized by madness, they committed mass suicide while chanting: “Welcome, the Blood Ancestor!”

The heartbeat intensified. Each throb sent waves crashing through the blood curtain.

At that moment, the blood curtain had become an ocean of blood, and within it, something vast stirred.

Then a giant projection of a heart appeared, its beating shaking heaven and earth. The heart was larger than the entire Shenxia Empire.

The ocean of blood covering the world was merely a fraction of the giant’s body.

Adam laughed wildly, “This is the heartbeat of the Blood Ancestor. What a beautiful sound! Your world shall become part of the Blood Ancestor. You should feel honored!”

Yan Kuangsheng and the others’ expressions changed at last.

This existence was far beyond anything they could resist.

Overwhelming pressure descended. They groaned, struggling even to breathe. The pressure alone rendered them immobile.

The Shenxia Tower shuddered violently, unable to absorb another drop of blood. In the next instant, it was blasted out of the blood curtain and crashed heavily to the ground.

Meng Anwen flew out of the tower, blood staining the corners of his mouth. He was injured.

The enemy was too strong, strong enough to inspire despair.

What kind of existence was this? Transcendent God-level? No… far beyond that.

Then a voice boomed through heaven and earth, “Blood Ancestor? Bah!”

“To dare come to my resting place, I’ll use his blood for hotpot!”

A giant claw tore through space and seized the Blood Ancestor’s heart, crushing it with a bang.

The projection collapsed instantly.

The blood curtain shattered, and a rain of blood fell across the world.

“No!” Adam’s face turned pale as he screamed in terror.

“No, your ass!” Yan Kuangsheng seized the opening, his blade slashing toward Adam’s head.

Ning Tairan and Ye Hao reacted at once, launching a fierce assault.

Adam stood motionless, like a practice target. In an instant, he was blown apart.

“It’s finally over.”

With Adam dead, Ning Tairan and the others exhaled in relief.

Yan Kuangsheng muttered, “Was it… him?”

Meng Anwen nodded, “It could only be him.”

Besides Antares, who else could have handled the blood curtain so effortlessly?

That had been the Blood Ancestor. Even a mere projection had suppressed them to the point they could barely breathe and move.

Yet Antares had crushed it as easily as an egg.

His strength was far beyond imagination.
