Dio showed a greedy and ecstatic expression, immediately abandoning the chase on Lanxiu and Hert, and rushed towards the northeast.

Below on the island, Strong God Hert lay like a dead dog amidst the rubble, thankfully saying, "That old thing actually just left like that?"

"Probably found another prey."

Lanxiu, holding a broken sword, was covered in blood. Clearly, the injuries weren't light.

Both of them survived a disaster, secretly praying that Saint Master Red Moon wouldn't return.

Unfortunately, their prayers failed, for in just a moment, a blood-red figure returned along the same path, causing their hearts to leap into their throats.

But when they looked closely, they found that the Red Moon Saint Master's form was in disarray, with a black, plasma-like substance constantly falling from his body, like pouring out from a ruptured pipe.

That was liquid death, known as spirit blood by undead creatures!

To maintain his power, Dio frantically extracted spirit blood from other members of the Red Moon Order.

From a bird's eye view from the sky over the plaza, you could see a scarlet Dio flower spreading outward from a blood-colored figure at the center. Life withered, souls blossomed, exuding a peculiar energy.

Many martial artists engaged in close combat with the Red Moon Order members hadn't had time to act before they collapsed.

Within the Red Moon Order, members who had secretly defected to the Death Council had long been transformed into undead. Their bodies had already died, and only with the existence of spirit blood could they function.

Once the spirit blood left, their bodies would be drained of all power, their skin a pale dark hue, indistinguishable from a corpse.

Many members of the Red Moon Order who had been killing indiscriminately showed horror upon witnessing this. Although they worshipped death, they were merely trying to escape their own demise.

When their own lives were threatened, they turned to flee at once, but just as they stepped forward, their spirit blood was extracted, and their entire strength was absorbed, becoming part of the liquid.

Instantaneously, their bodies stiffened, immobilized. Following that, blood flowed from their eyes, nose, mouth, and ears, hot viscous liquid sliding down. It moved towards the source of the special resonant frequency.

This bizarre scene caused nearly everyone to pause unconsciously, their hearts instinctively producing a sense of aversion.

All living beings naturally resist death!

The entire Red Moon Order turned into spirit blood on the spot, with Dio, the leader of the Red Moon Order, clearly using a powerful forbidden card.

In battles between martial artists, a Golden Martial Saint is the ultimate entity that can determine victory, hence their own recovery is far more useful than all the members of the Red Moon Order present combined.

The blood gathered by Dio had formed a solid-liquid mixture resembling a blood pool. The air was filled with a strong sweet and bloody smell that made people dizzy.

Several martial artists from the European Holy Mechanical Army nearby even fainted on the spot, collapsing onto the sinuous bloodstains. Their bodies strangely shrank visibly, gradually hollowing out.

Clearly, their powers were also extracted!

When Hert rushed over to pull these unlucky ones away, they had already stopped breathing, reduced to skin and bones, their spirit, Qi, and Shen completely drained.

"Damn it!"

Hert shouted, "All martial artists, hear my orders, evacuate this place, get as far away as possible!"

With that, a figure wielding a broken sword appeared beside him, Lanxiu looked solemnly towards the distance.

Soon, they saw a woman being lifted by the waves, she was stunningly beautiful, alluring, with a charm irresistible to mortals.

"Golden Martial Saint!"

The two exclaimed, then saw in the woman's arms, she was holding a chrysalis of gold.

Crack~

A clear sound of shattering glass came to the ears, followed by a flawless white hand tearing open the golden chrysalis, from which emerged a newborn infant.

Despite the face and stature appearing so immature, just a sweep of those eyes as bright as stars was enough to nearly make Hert and Lanxiu faint.

Such imposing presence to dominate all, sweeping across the universe, was almost divine!

Their bodies couldn't support them, they knelt instinctively, ready to submit to this infant before them.

Lanxiu, having awakened the Hundred-Eyed Giant bloodline talent, recognized this infant as Ye Qingzhou: "He... is... Ye Qingzhou..."

"How... can... it be... this... strong..."

Facing enormous psychic pressure, their emotions nearly collapsed.

Despite being an infant, Ye Qingzhou saw himself naked, with a casual gesture, golden silk automatically wrapped around him, manifesting into an exquisite robe.

"Ah, my lord is so cute now!"

Yingyue was so charmed that her heart almost melted, and she held him even tighter in her arms.

But little did she know, in the eyes of other martial artists, Ye Qingzhou was an actual terrifying Great Demon King.

Having absorbed a great deal of War Divine Power, he already possessed traits similar to Divine Power, able to make all beings kneel, even professional level martial artists could have their mind crushed with a single glance.

Only Grandmaster level and above could retain their own will.

"Ye Sheng, this is a misunderstanding! I mean no harm to you!"

From the red chrysalis, the Red Moon Saint Master's voice buzzed.

Just now, he had followed the aura of a saint's fall to the battle site between Ye Qingzhou and Knight King Ola, then encountered Yingyue holding the golden chrysalis.

Seeing Yingyue's weak aura, he thought he could take advantage of the situation, but with a single strike, he found himself stuck on a tough spot, wounded by Ye Qingzhou's Sword Qi through the chrysalis.

Still hoping to plead, Ye Qingzhou wouldn't indulge him: "Are you a remnant of the Red Moon Order? Seems you're from the Source Blood Association, all of them must die."

"Wait! I'm from the Death Council!"

"Huh?"

Ye Qingzhou was speechless: "How many groups do you guys have? Whatever, anyway I don't like you, it's better to kill wrong than to miss."

With that said, with a swish, Ye Qingzhou disappeared from Yingyue's embrace. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

Appearing again less than ten meters from Dio, he kept accelerating, like a spear piercing through, the straight arm was the tip of the spear, piercing directly!

Sword Point whistled through the air, the compressed airflow forming a white mist, as if two rays of white light glided past in a blink.

Boom~Boom~

Black and white sword beams, one after another like meteors, exploded in the center of the blood pool, revealing the true form of a Golden Martial Saint armored in gold from the ruptured blood chrysalis.

With a lift of his hand, he punched, fist against Sword Point, exploding with the sound like a rocket detonating. The pool water churned and spewed, forming a blood mist in mid-air.

Shockwaves rippled, dust rolled.

In an instant of exchange, they showcased martial artistry honed over decades.

The combat techniques flowed like mercury, punch after punch, Sword Point continuously struck.

They maneuvered with phantoms, exchanging blows, unleashing formidable offensives.

This situation persisted for several seconds, in that brief period, Ye Qingzhou and Dio instantly delivered over a hundred moves to each other.

The power of Mental Imagery further enveloped hundreds of miles, Dead Yexin Image fought Infinite Heart Image!

Bang~

A cloud of blood mist exploded like a mushroom cloud suddenly expanding.

Amidst the fog, there were two muffled groans, and Dio's silhouette was sent flying back. Spinning mid-air, his feet landed. After staggering for several steps, crushing large slabs before stopping, he looked gloomily towards the previous position.

Under the sunlight, Ye Qingzhou's immature body seemed to swallow light, shapeless and difficult to fathom.

Conversely, Dio in his blood-red armor appeared intimidating and fierce, yet faced absolute disadvantage against Ye Qingzhou.

"I said, I'm not from the Source Blood Association!"

The mood of the Red Moon Saint Master Dio was extremely poor, already insane enough himself, yet he met someone even crazier and unreasonable?
