"It’s the Rotting Blood Curse! Quickly, find cover!"

The allied soldiers hastily retreated, but dozens were still drenched in the blood rain, their skin instantly rotting as they fell to the ground in agony.

Ye Qingzhou remained calm and composed, his sword light spilling forth, forming a barrier of Original Force around him that vaporized the blood rain the moment it touched the silver-blue curtain. He looked up in the direction of the rising blood pillar.

There, Victor stood quietly.

The once-kind bishop was now entwined in black and red blood threads, the holy staff in his hand having transformed into a grotesque bone staff. His mouth stretched to his ears, revealing an inhuman sneer.

"Holy Sun? Heh..."

His voice sounded like the roar of hundreds of voices overlapping: "The world is nothing but a cage. Only by following the Eternal Night can one touch the truth and break free from the chains!"

The bone staff struck the ground heavily, causing a blood-colored ripple to spread.

All the bodies corroded by the blood rain began twitching and reanimated!

"What a nuisance."

Ye Qingzhou was about to charge forward, but his foot suddenly went weak.

He looked down to find his left arm covered with black blood threads—seeped in during his blood rain defense—a bizarre power eating away at his flesh.

"Laine!"

Elise’s cry came from behind.

Ye Qingzhou exerted strength, and with his right hand shaped like a knife, he decisively cut towards his left shoulder!

Ugh ah~

Blood sprayed, and the tainted left arm fell. But more astonishing was that no blood flowed from the severing, and instead, it became sealed by a layer of ice crystals.

"You..."

Victor narrowed his eyes: "You can resist the corrosion of the Rotting Blood?"

Ye Qingzhou panted as he looked up, his right eye blazing with gold: "Treating me as a mere mortal... what a joke."

He suddenly raised his hand, and the ice crystals on the severed arm shattered, countless ice spikes shooting towards Victor like a storm!

The bishop hastily swung his staff to block, but several ice spikes still pierced through his shoulders. Black blood spurted as he let out an unearthly shriek.

"Lord Dracula!"

The blood cloud in the sky churned violently as a massive blood-red face emerged, revealing Dracula’s true form.

"Such a nostalgic power..."

The blood face whispered, "Pointing directly at the world’s original laws of frost and fire... such perfect power."

The blood face opened a gigantic mouth, and a blood light cannon with a diameter of a hundred meters descended with a roar!

"Laine! Get out of the way!"

Aurelian’s shout came.

Yet Ye Qingzhou stood still, slowly raising his only remaining arm—

"Even trapped in a mortal’s body..."

Silver-blue Original Force gathered in his palm like a star river.

"The power a Martial God can unleash still surpasses your imagination, Dracula."

Boom~~

At the moment the two forces collided, the entire battlefield was swallowed by a blinding light...

Ye Qingzhou used the opposing forces of frost and fire to simulate the Yin Yang poles, reversing the laws and striking out limitless light that illuminated the world.

When the light faded, a massive crater with a diameter of a kilometer appeared on the battlefield.

At the center of the crater, Ye Qingzhou was kneeling on one knee, his right arm charred, his whole body bathed in blood. In the sky, the blood face had disappeared, leaving only Victor’s shattered corpse.

"Is... it over?" a soldier asked tremblingly.

But the next second...

"No..." Elise looked pale as she gazed at the Star Orbit Compass, "The blood moon... has just begun..."

On the distant horizon, two blood moons were slowly merging. And even more terrifying, from the direction of Frost Iron City, an earth-shattering dragon roar suddenly erupted.

It was the sealed Frost Giant Dragon "Frost Claw" roaring.

Kaine, who had been killed twice by Ye Qingzhou, now returned again with might, radiating the blazing light of the Sun Bloodline.

Frost Claw’s roar surged across miles, shaking heaven and earth.

While alive, it was the King of the Northern Territory’s Frost Giant Dragons, now resurrected as a Bone Dragon, its power undiminished, perhaps even more ferocious.

The giant dragon body hovered above the castle, its scales no longer pure ice blue but stained with crimson blood patterns and decaying flesh.

On the dragon’s back, Kaine Morning Star stood straight as a spear, his dark armor inscribed with dark red magic runes, and under the helmet, his eyes—completely transformed into the blood-red of the Blood Race.

"Father."

Kaine’s voice spread through the city via magic, cold and devoid of any warmth: "Accept the blood oath, and you will gain true immortality."

Aurelian stood atop the city wall, the "Frost Winter Oath" in his hand trembling slightly.

The Lord of Iron Blood seemed somewhat aged at this moment, his gaze swept across the insignia on Kaine’s chest — the mark of a high-tier member of the Eternal Night Council.

"Kaine..."

Aurelian’s voice was hoarse, "Are you still my son?"

Kaine did not answer, he just slowly raised his hand.

The next second, Frost Claw opened its massive maw, and a breath mixed with frost and blood flames roared down!

"Defend!" 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Frost Iron City’s magic barrier instantly unfolded, but it shook violently under the impact of the Dragon Breath.

On the wall, the Star Orbit Compass in Elise’s hand spun crazily, her face pale: "No... This isn’t an ordinary frost dragon breath! It’s mixed with the power of the blood moon!"

Cracks began to appear in the barrier.

At this very critical moment, a silver-blue meteor shot rapidly from the direction of the battlefield, crashing fiercely into the side of Frost Claw!

Boom!!!

The Frost Giant Dragon let out a painful roar, forced to interrupt its breath.

Only then did everyone see clearly, that "meteor" was Ye Qingzhou!

His right arm was wrapped in strange silver-blue energy, the whole person floating in the air, confronting the giant dragon.

"Kaine."

Ye Qingzhou’s voice was light, yet it clearly reached everyone’s ears: "It seems today I have to kill you for the third time."

Kaine’s actions stopped almost imperceptibly.

But immediately, Dracula’s voice suddenly came from his helmet: "Brotherly conflict, no matter how many times I see it, it always excites me."

Kaine’s body trembled fiercely, then...

"Kill him."

Frost Claw’s sharp claws tore through the air, heading straight down at Ye Qingzhou!

Ye Qingzhou rapidly dodged in the air, while observing the sky.

The two blood moons had already overlapped most of the way; strangely, as the phase of the moon changed, the silver-blue substance on his severed arm grew faster and faster, now forming a complete "arm" — only this arm was entirely composed of Ice and Fire Force, its surface flowing with star-like patterns.

"Laine! Watch out!"

Elise’s scream snapped him back to attention.

Frost Claw’s tail swept across like a giant whip, Ye Qingzhou hastily blocked, still being flung hundreds of meters, crashing heavily into the city wall.

Amidst the flying debris, he coughed up a mouthful of blood, but suddenly realized that the "Frost Winter Oath" in his hand was undergoing a change — the runes on the sword blade lit up one by one, finally forming a Star Map.

And this Star Map, was identical to what Elise’s compass displayed!

"So that’s it..."

Ye Qingzhou suddenly understood: "This sword is the key!"

He struggled to his feet, shouting at Elise on the wall: "Elise! Where is the end of the Star Orbit?"

Elise was stunned for a moment, then understood his meaning, hurriedly checking the compass: "In...in the Frost Whisper Realm under the castle! Mother’s place!"

Ye Qingzhou didn’t hesitate, turned and charged towards the castle.

But Frost Claw’s breath blocked the way again.

"Don’t think you can escape."

Kaine’s cold voice came: "Lord Dracula wants to seize your Original Force."

Ye Qingzhou looked at the completely controlled Kaine, suddenly laughed: "No, brother, what Dracula wants isn’t my Original Force."

He raised his glowing right arm: "What he wants, is this."

As Ye Qingzhou unleashed the Heaven-Slaying Sword Drawing Technique, the Thought Ability of countless Northern Territory civilians converged, transforming into a silver-blue sword light that suddenly slashed towards the blood moon in the sky!

A shocking scene occurred...

The progress of the two blood moons’ convergence was forcibly interrupted!

"The trajectory of destiny, has been severed?!"

Dracula’s voice showed panic for the first time: "This is impossible!"

Taking advantage of this gap, Ye Qingzhou transformed into a stream of light rushing towards the castle.

Kaine wanted to chase, but was stopped by the suddenly appearing Aurelian.

"Laine."

The old lord stood with his sword in hand, deep sorrow in his eyes: "Let this useless father do something for you, one last time."
