Eternal Blood Emperor-Chapter 436: Survival of the Fittest

"You want to devour my blood?"

Wang Ruoxie looked mockingly at the Blood Spirit King.

His Blood Divine Format was formed from the true Blood God Essence Blood. Unless the Blood God himself appeared, even this Blood Spirit King couldn’t possibly devour his blood.

"Impossible... devour it for me."

The Blood Spirit King shouted with a grim expression.

Immediately, a thumb-sized blood crystal appeared at the center of his brow.

Clearly, this was his Blood Divine Format, consisting of thirteen facets.

"Thirteen facets on the Blood Divine Format."

Wang Ruoxie’s eyes narrowed slightly. He had learned from Heluo Qi before that the Blood Spirit King’s Blood Divine Format had twelve facets, but now it had thirteen.

It seemed that the Blood Spirit King’s strength had grown considerably since then.

However, no matter how many facets the Blood Spirit King’s Blood Divine Format had, it was impossible for him to devour Wang Ruoxie’s blood, because his Blood Divine Format was condensed from true Blood God Essence Blood, fundamentally different from the Blood Spirit King’s.

In essence, the Blood Spirit King’s Blood Divine Format couldn’t compare to his own.

If the Blood Spirit Race were really descendants of the Blood God, then purely from a bloodline perspective, he would even be considered the ancestor of all Blood Spirit Race members.

"How can this be?"

The Blood Spirit King couldn’t believe that even after activating his Blood Divine Format, he still couldn’t devour the opponent’s blood.

He had never encountered such a situation before. He could devour the blood of the Human Race, let alone the Blood Spirit Race.

Could it be that the guy in front of him was neither Human nor Blood Spirit Race, or perhaps he simply didn’t have blood in his body?

"Had enough fun?"

Wang Ruoxie smiled indifferently, speaking to the Blood Spirit King.

"Fun?"

Upon hearing Wang Ruoxie’s words, the Blood Spirit King nearly spat out blood in anger. Who was playing around? He was clearly trying to devour the opponent’s blood.

"Haha... this Blood Spirit King is really amusing, being toyed with by the Grand Marshal like this."

The Black Dragon Guard members all laughed loudly.

Others also looked at the Blood Spirit King with mocking faces, seeing the Blood Spirit King’s embarrassment was a once-in-a-lifetime event for them.

"I want your life."

Hearing the harsh laughter below, the Blood Spirit King’s face turned extremely ugly, and he roared angrily at Wang Ruoxie.

Since he couldn’t devour the opponent’s blood, he would just kill the opponent directly.

With his Cultivation at the Celestial Monarch Realm Seventh Layer, killing a mere Celestial Monarch Realm Fourth Layer was an easy task.

The Blood Spirit King’s figure trembled slightly and instantly appeared in front of Wang Ruoxie, immediately conjuring a blood-colored longsword and slashing fiercely at Wang Ruoxie.

Though this wasn’t formed from his Blood Divine Format, it was still an Upper Grade Sacred Artifact, capable of breaking through any Celestial Monarch Realm Late Stage body.

"Heaven-Slaying Sword-Drawing Art."

Facing the attacking Blood Spirit King, Wang Ruoxie maintained an extremely calm demeanor, then his hand gripped the Blood Divine Format-formed Blood Sword, and with a thought, he used his recently-learned Heaven-Slaying Sword-Drawing Art.

The Heaven-Slaying Sword-Drawing Art was a Seventh Grade Divine Technique, naturally incomparable to regular martial techniques. It had no fixed form, containing only the profound technique of the True Intent of the Sword.

Simply put, the Heaven-Slaying Sword-Drawing Art was just one sword, possibly even one continuous action: drawing the sword, striking, and sheathing the sword.

In everyone’s eyes, Wang Ruoxie merely drew the Blood Sword, struck, and then resheathed it.

This action was extremely fast, not exceeding even a breath’s time.

In many people’s eyes, despite the quick speed of Wang Ruoxie’s sword, it seemed to carry no power, not even constituting an ordinary sword strike.

However, in the Blood Spirit King’s eyes at that moment, this was a terrifying sword, as if everything before him was cleaved by that sword.

Even heaven and earth seemed to be split open.

A thread-like white light flickered and disappeared in space.

In that instant, the Blood Spirit King’s body shuddered violently before he completely lost consciousness.

The crowd then saw a fine blood mark suddenly appear at the Blood Spirit King’s brow, rapidly extending downwards to his abdomen.

Ultimately, under the terrified gazes of the Human and Blood Spirit Races, the Blood Spirit King’s body was split in half, dead.

"Oh my... am I seeing things? The Blood Spirit King is dead?"

"How did the Blood Spirit King die? Was it just now that sword?"

After a moment of dead silence, exclamations erupted from the crowd.

Many were still wondering why the Blood Spirit King suddenly died.

Considering the Blood Spirit King’s Cultivation at the Celestial Monarch Realm Seventh Layer, he was considered invincible here, yet his body was suddenly split in half. This was an incredibly bizarre event.

Of course, quite a few had guessed that Wang Ruoxie’s seemingly powerless sword had instantaneously killed the Blood Spirit King.

"Is this the inheritance the boss received? So powerful."

Qian Duoduo murmured with a stunned expression.

"It seems the inheritance Ruoxie received must be extraordinary."

Xiao Ningyue said with an amazed expression.

"The king is dead, run!"

Those Blood Spirit Race members who had come to their senses all turned pale and quickly turned to flee madly.

With even their king killed, how could they dare to fight anymore?

"No one is allowed to escape, follow me to greet the new king."

Just as millions of Blood Spirit Race experts were preparing to flee back to the Blood God Realm, a voice sounded out.

Immediately, the Blood Spirit Race members turned their heads to see that the speaker was actually the High Priest Heluo Qi.

And the next scene made them even more dumbfounded, even making them question whether the High Priest before them was real.

Heluo Qi’s figure trembled, and he directly appeared before Wang Ruoxie, then knelt on one knee, loudly proclaiming, "Heluo Qi pays respects to the master."

"What? Master?"

"What’s going on? Why is the High Priest of the Blood Spirit Race calling the Grand Marshal ’master’?"

This scene left the Black Dragon Guard members in a daze.

Everyone else also stared at Wang Ruoxie and Heluo Qi with incredulous eyes.

"Huh? You’ve broken through to the Celestial Monarch Realm Sixth Layer."

Wang Ruoxie, who was refining the Blood Spirit King’s Blood Divine Format and Heart of the Blood God, suddenly opened his eyes and then looked at Heluo Qi, surprised.

Back when he subdued Heluo Qi, the latter only seemed to have the Cultivation of the Ninth Layer of Cave Heaven Realm, but now he had reached the Celestial Monarch Realm Sixth Layer.

"Master, ever since I swore a blood oath with you, my cultivation speed inexplicably increased several times over, allowing me to reach the Celestial Monarch Realm Sixth Layer in such a short time and become the High Priest of the Blood Spirit Race."

Heluo Qi said respectfully.

"Is that so?"

Wang Ruoxie was astonished at the words and then surmised in his heart that this might be related to his possession of Blood God Essence Blood.

"Master, among the Blood Spirit Race, the strong rule, and now that you have killed the Blood Spirit King, you can become the new king of the Blood Spirit Race."

Heluo Qi said to Wang Ruoxie.

"High Priest, you mustn’t!"

At this moment, another voice rose from the ranks of the Blood Spirit Race army.
