After Du Liquan's sudden death, his son Du Wan He raged and ordered an attack on Ye Chenfeng. However, Ye Chenfeng revealed several powerful allies, including a mid Divine Emperor Realm expert, who swiftly eliminated two sect ancestors. The remaining attackers surrendered, and Ye Chenfeng ordered his allies to eliminate them. Du Wan He, realizing his defeat, prepared to use a dangerous Dark Blood Scepter.

Unfortunately, the Chaos Griffon was still a step too slow.

They only saw Du Wan He, gripping the Dark Blood Scepter in his hand, rapidly channeling the Spiritual Energy in his body into the Dark Blood Scepter.

The red circular stone embedded at the top of the scepter suddenly erupted with a power surge like a tidal wave.

Within this tidal wave-like red energy, a pungent stench of blood permeated, howling straight toward the Chaos Griffon.

In just the blink of an eye, the Chaos Griffon was swallowed within.

When the red energy finally dispersed.

The Chaos Griffon reappeared in everyone’s sight, its entire body covered in horrific wounds, one ghastly gash after another clearly visible all over it. It lay on the ground, barely clinging to life, trying to stand, yet no matter what it could not do so.

After Du Wan He activated the Dark Blood Scepter, the Chaos Griffon, which possessed the same Divine Emperor Realm Middle Stage strength as him, actually lost all combat power in an instant? It couldn’t even get up from the ground?

Du Wan He, clutching the Dark Blood Scepter, had his skin gradually turning blood-red, a cold, murderous smile appearing at the corner of his mouth. Now that he had even brought out the Dark Blood Scepter, whose power was described in ancient texts, only the Dark Blood Scepter could grant him a sliver of life.

Since the Dark Blood Scepter was out, then everyone here had to die; not a single one would be allowed to leave alive.

Jia Nianshan, Jia Lizhong, Jia Xiaowen and the others, seeing Du Wan He directly strip the Chaos Griffon of its combat strength, rekindled their hope. As long as the Chaos Griffon lost its fighting power, Ye Chenfeng’s side would only have one Divine Emperor Realm Middle Stage expert left.

For a time, the speed at which they approached Du Wan He grew faster and faster, while Ye Chenfeng, Long Gaoyuan and the others immediately arrived beside the Chaos Griffon.

Ye Chenfeng checked the Chaos Griffon’s injuries and discovered a surge of blood energy invading its body, clashing with its internal aura. Within a short period, this blood energy likely could not be dispelled.

While Ye Chenfeng was briefly examining the Chaos Griffon’s wounds.

Du Wan He, seeing those cultivators closing in on him, had the cold smile at the corner of his mouth grow even more ferocious.

"Senior Du, that brat is utterly lawless, you must make a move and get rid of him!"

"In our Lower Realm, only Senior Du can kill that brat."

...

All those approaching Du Wan He spoke out one after another, but Du Wan He only gripped the Dark Blood Scepter tighter in his hand as a billowing blood aura instantly surged from his body. With the Dark Blood Scepter’s activation, the blood aura he released stacked layer upon layer.

A Spiritual Energy as crimson as fresh blood blasted out from within him toward all directions, instantly forming an ocean of blood.

The cultivators who had approached were immediately shrouded within this ocean of blood.

"Blood Demon Devouring Heaven!"

This vast, boundless ocean of blood then transformed into countless dense red blood cords.

These innumerable blood cords instantly swept toward the cultivators who had drawn near; those closest were the first to be entangled by the densely packed blood cords.

The other ends of the blood cords were still connected to Du Wan He’s body. Once the cultivators were ensnared, the blood cords burrowed rapidly into their bodies, ceaselessly drawing the blood from within them.

Their blood was siphoned through the blood cords, converted into energy, and finally flowed back into Du Wan He’s body.

Any cultivator entangled by the blood cords quickly turned into one dried corpse after another.

With the Dark Blood Scepter’s stimulation, the number of blood cords formed could be said to blot out the sky and cover the earth. Any cultivator caught by them had almost no chance of escape.

"Ah! Ah!—"

The air was filled with one miserable scream after another, as more and more corpses appeared on the ground.

Jia Nianshan and Jia Lizhong, at least as Divine Emperor Realm Initial Stage experts, reacted relatively quickly, dragging Jia Xiaowen as they rapidly retreated.

But the sky-filling blood cords were frighteningly fast, like countless red blood snakes, relentlessly pursuing Jia Nianshan and the others.

Jia Nianshan and Jia Lizhong had no choice but to abandon Jia Xiaowen. The abandoned Jia Xiaowen was instantly entangled by the blood cords. "No, no, Patriarch, save me!"

Bound by several blood cords, Jia Xiaowen’s Extreme Peak aura erupted to the limit, yet he still could not break free of the blood cords. He only felt the blood in his body draining away bit by bit, until he too became a dried corpse.

Jia Nianshan and Jia Lizhong’s faces were deathly pale; they had never expected Du Wan He to suddenly go mad and slaughter them, and in such an utterly terrifying manner.

They now regretted it so much their intestines turned green, while the other cultivators also felt themselves laughably pathetic.

Under the pursuit of the sky-covering blood cords, Jia Nianshan and Jia Lizhong ultimately failed to escape. Their bodies were also entangled by countless blood cords, and even as Divine Emperor Realm Initial Stage experts, they could not break free.

Until the blood cords drained every last drop of blood from their bodies.

Seeing the miserable deaths of Jia Nianshan and the others, a trace of sorrow flickered across Jia Mengqing and Jia Kun’s faces.

As Du Wan He continuously siphoned the blood of the cultivators present, the aura on his body climbed higher and higher. Although he did not break through to Divine Emperor Realm Late Stage, his combat strength had undoubtedly increased significantly.

Ye Chenfeng and the others all saw Du Wan He’s strangeness. They immediately stored the Chaos Griffon into the small world, had Jia Mengqing and Jia Kun stand farther away, and then their figures swept toward Du Wan He. They knew they could not allow Du Wan He to continue like this; the scepter in his hand was far too sinister.

These blood cords were far too dense, but with the Divine Emperor Realm Middle Stage Long Gaoyuan present, they could barely manage to avoid being struck by them.

Very soon.

Aside from Ye Chenfeng and the others, everyone else present had turned into dried corpses lying on the ground.

Yet with the countless blood cords obstructing them, Ye Chenfeng and the others still had not managed to get close to Du Wan He.

Long Gaoyuan’s eyes narrowed. "Clan Leader, what he’s holding is very likely the legendary dark Immortal Artifact, the Dark Blood Scepter. The power of this Dark Blood Scepter is truly extraordinary."

As Long Gaoyuan’s voice fell.

Du Wan He waved his arm, and the densely packed blood cords all withdrew back into his body.

Now the aura on his body was much stronger than before; his combat power had undergone a tremendous change.

He once again channeled the Spiritual Energy in his body into the Dark Blood Scepter, then pointed the entire scepter at Long Gaoyuan.

With a loud "Boom!"

An extreme red light beam suddenly shot out, leaving Ye Chenfeng and the others no time to react.

At the critical moment, Long Gaoyuan unleashed his defense, but before this red light beam his defense collapsed instantly. The right side of his chest was immediately pierced through; fortunately, it was not the left side where his heart was.
