"I’ve unlocked 29 Qi Points!"

Chen Xuan uttered, his gaze fixed with excitement on the Sacred Body progress bar. He certainly hadn't anticipated such immense gains from his expedition into the Celestial Eye Forest. In a span of just over two weeks, he had managed to open this many Qi Points! The only drawback was that the pace of opening new Qi Points had noticeably decreased. "Open four more!" The Sacred Body needed to surpass thirty percent to unleash its full potential. Zhan Tian, wielding just thirty percent of the Sacred Body, was a match for even the peak stage of the Eighth Layer. With his current might, Chen Xuan could contend with mid-Eighth Layer cultivators, and facing opponents in the late-stage was well within his capabilities. "I've practically reached the zenith of Great Yu!" Chen Xuan felt a sense of deep satisfaction. The greater his power, the more he understood the vastness of the cultivation world. Anything below the Eighth Layer was no longer sufficient. To establish a firm footing, or even to step beyond the intricate game board of Great Yu, one required at least the strength of the Eighth Layer peak. "Almost there!" His eyes then shifted towards the two burgeoning sprouts, now as thick as his forearm and standing over two meters tall. "What is their connection to the Celestial Eye Forest?" A faint suspicion began to form in Chen Xuan’s mind, though he couldn't be entirely sure. "Never mind! I must continue cultivating!" Setting aside his uncertainties, his immediate priority was opening four more Qi Points to further enhance his capabilities.

...

Blood Cry Realm.

"Boom..."

Resounding thunderous booms filled the air, accompanied by crackling lightning, even the thunder possessing a blood-red hue, casting an oppressive shadow over the entire Blood Cry Realm. Even the Stone Race and the Tree-man Race found themselves experiencing significant discomfort. However, the Blood Race, and particularly Blood Radiance, were filled with elation. This celestial phenomenon… it signified the impending complete awakening of their Ancestor. "In three days!" "We shall flatten Great Yu!" A profound voice boomed throughout the Blood Cry Realm, its reach extending far and wide. "Yes, Ancestor!" The Blood Race denizens within the Blood Cry Realm roared in unison, their voices piercing the heavens, causing even the clouds to disperse. The sound eventually reached the Human Race territories.

In the main encampment.

The National Preceptor’s eyes snapped open abruptly, his body convulsing before he instantly surged upwards, his gaze fixed upon the Blood Cry Realm! "Three days!" At this moment, fear was absent from his heart; not even the terrifying presence of the Blood Race Ancestor could make him flinch. We fight! Even if it means our demise, we will repel the three races! Duke Liu, Duke Yuan, and the Jiang Wen brothers also congregated there, each bearing expressions of unwavering resolve. Even when faced with the might of three races simultaneously, this was a battle Great Yu could not afford to lose. They would sacrifice their lives rather than allow the three races to advance a single step beyond the Blood Cry Realm! The National Preceptor glanced at them before turning his attention towards Zhan Tian’s location. A moment later! "Prepare for battle!" The ethnic war had officially begun. Great Yu mobilized its full strength, and under Duke Liu’s decisive command, every soldier was imbued with fighting spirit, poised for immediate engagement! Only Zhan Tian! At this very moment, he sat in a meditative posture, relinquishing all worldly concerns! This battle hinged on him! Confronting the ancient existence of the Blood Race, he certainly felt the immense pressure, yet he had been prepared for self-sacrifice for the sake of his nation. "Whew—" A long, slow exhalation escaped his lips. The next instant, his eyes gradually opened, their focus directed precisely at the entrance of the Blood Cry Realm. "Hall Master, you may be mistaken this time, sir." With those words uttered! He advanced a single step, reappearing at the vanguard of the army, where the Blood Cry Realm was now clearly visible. The crimson mist, the unsettling aroma that caused his brow to furrow, the stench of blood! One day! Two days! Three days! Zhan Tian remained still in the sky, his unwavering gaze fixed upon a specific point within the Blood Cry Realm. That was the resting place of the ancient Blood Race entity. "How formidable!" Even from this distance, his current heightened senses could detect the immense aura emanating from the being. Though he was loath to admit it, it sent shivers down his spine! "Mid-Ninth Layer, or higher?" Duke Liu arrived at his side then. As a Spirit Cultivator at the Eighth Layer peak, his senses were as acute as Zhan Tian’s, even if his cultivation level was inferior. "At least mid-Ninth Layer!" He managed to utter these words with great difficulty. However, those words instantly plunged Duke Liu’s heart into despair. 'At least!' "Fight!" No further words were necessary. As the foremost leaders of Great Yu, they had pledged to defend their homeland with their very lives! Blood Cry Realm! Rumble..... Suddenly, the entire Blood Cry Realm began to violently tremble. "The Ancestor has awakened!"

Blood Radiance let out a jubilant cry.

"Boom!"

A scorching, blood-red light then pierced the heavens. Moments later, a figure began to slowly ascend.

It was the Blood Race Ancestor!

Adorned in a regal purple robe, his arms were spread wide, and his head was tilted skyward.

"I have awakened!"

A simple declaration, yet it ignited a wildfire of excitement throughout the entirety of the Blood Race.

"Welcome, Ancestor!"

"Welcome, Ancestor!"

...

At this precise juncture, the fervent acclamations echoed in cascading waves across the Blood Cry Realm, one after another!

Even Blood Radiance took a knee, his head bowed in deference, resounding with a powerful, "Welcome, Ancestor!"

The oppressive blood aura began to dissipate!

Suspended in the air, the Blood Race Ancestor commenced a deliberate, step-by-step descent toward their present location.

For every individual present, save for Blood Radiance, this was their inaugural glimpse of the esteemed Blood Race Ancestor.

His visage was starkly pale, utterly devoid of any color, his lips presenting a near-pure white hue, yet his eyes burned with an intense, blood-red fire.

Purple tresses cascaded loosely, framing his striking features.

"You have endured hardship these long years!"

The Blood Race Ancestor inclined slightly, personally extending a hand to help Blood Radiance to his feet.

"Ancestor!"

Blood Radiance rose, his gaze fixed upon the Ancestor, brimming with an overwhelming excitement that brought a sheen of tears to his eyes.

"Mm!"

A gentle nod from the Blood Race Ancestor, and then he turned, his gaze sweeping across the assembled figures within the grand hall.

The Stone Race, the Tree-man Race, and of course, his own Blood Race!

"Commence the war!"

A mere two words!

Yet, they served to set the souls of the listeners ablaze; this very day was one that the three allied races had anticipated with fervent longing for so very long.

"Yes!"

The resounding affirmation vibrated through the very foundations of the main hall.

He then addressed Blood Radiance directly, stating, "Leave that human to my care! All other matters fall directly under your command!"

"Yes, Ancestor!"

Blood Radiance managed to quell the surge of exhilaration within his heart. On the battlefield, his deepest dread and the source of his powerlessness had always been Zhan Tian. Now, however, he no longer harbored such anxieties.

Hmph!

This time, vengeance would be exacted through the utter slaughter of every single human!
