Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister Chapter 1082 - 536: How Could It Be Him?! (Part 3)
Previously on Unstoppable Martial Arts: Starting with brother's wife and young sister...
The collapse of Spiritual Power was instantaneous!
The National Preceptor coughed up a mouthful of blood, their face draining of color in an instant!
Even the two foremost leaders of Great Yu appeared utterly defenseless against the ancient ancestor of the Blood Race.
"Ah—"
A pained cry tore from within Zhan Tian’s wings.
Had it not been for the Sacred Body, the sudden surge of energy, and the Profound Yellow Tower, he would have dissolved into a pool of blood under the Blood Race ancestor’s terrifying blood aura. Yet, even with these defenses, he felt his strength waning.
Meanwhile, in the Celestial Eye Forest!
"Not good, I sense he’s unable to hold on!"
"What?"
"Aren’t you present? How can it be insufficient?"
"He’s sustaining damage far too rapidly; I can’t keep pace!"
Zhan Tian’s essence expressed its helplessness!
Despite his utmost effort, he couldn’t counter the speed at which injuries accumulated.
"How could this be!"
"Didn’t the Hall Master state that the solution lay within this Celestial Eye Forest?"
"Is that not so?!"
Chen Xuan muttered, "What to do? What can be done?"
"Allow me to assist!"
In that very moment, the Spirit Pool began to convulse, and Chen Xuan’s essence poured all its power into it.
At this critical juncture!
Zhan Tian, ensnared within the Blood Race ancestor’s wings, felt his consciousness on the verge of fading.
But...
An energy, far exceeding anything he had experienced before, surged forth, engulfing his entire being.
"Crack, crack, crack...."
One by one, his acupoints burst open instantaneously.
Six points were opened in a flash!
A surge of power!
His jade bone erupted to its peak, reaching Seventh Grade!
At this instant, the jade bone attained Seventh Grade.
Fifty-five acupoints were unveiled.
Half Sacred Body achieved!
His strength skyrocketed once more.
The Sacred Body erupted, "Begone!"
With a single, explosive punch, he shattered the Blood Race ancestor’s wings, unleashing a torrent of jade light.
"Hahaha...."
Zhan Tian let out a wild, triumphant laugh.
"Old fiend, did you truly believe you could refine me?"
"Zhan Tian!"
"Zhan Tian!"
....
On the side of Great Yu, a chorus of excited shouts arose from everyone present.
Duke Liu’s voice was the most fervent; he had never anticipated that Zhan Tian would not only survive but emerge with an even more formidable aura.
Perhaps... it truly is possible!
"Good, very good!"
The Blood Race old ancestor bellowed in fury, "Then I shall ensure you perish without a tomb to mark your grave!"
"Spear, descend!"
Immediately!
The blood-colored spear, once held by Blood Radiance, broke free, transforming into a crimson streak that flew directly into the grasp of the Blood Race’s ancient ancestor.
"Blood, heed my call!"
The Blood Pool where he had remained dormant in the Blood Cry Realm suddenly churned, and from its depths, a pillar of blood ascended, piercing through the Blood Cry Realm.
The Blood Race ancestor, observing the incoming deluge of blood!
He swung the spear in his hand, and the blood, as if possessing a will of its own, instantly surged upwards!
"Boom!"
The very space trembled!
In the ensuing moment, four curtains of light descended from the heavens, encompassing the entirety of the battlefield.
"Then all of you shall perish!"
"Blood Refining!"
The Blood Race old ancestor proclaimed with chilling finality.
The spearhead ignited with a blinding crimson light, akin to a miniature sun. This section of the battlefield was bathed in the sanguine glow, transforming into a land of blood.
This was the Blood Race’s ultimate technique, resembling an array but distinct in its execution. It necessitated the combined might of the blood drawn from the Blood Pool and the ancestral weapon of the Blood Race, the spear.
"Ah—"
The cultivators of the Human Race below cried out in agony under the blood-red effulgence. Moments later, blood began to pour from their seven orifices, and this very blood then flew autonomously towards the Blood Race ancestor.
"Help us..."
"It’s so painful..."
The weaker individuals withered into desiccated husks within mere breaths.
"You court death!"
Zhan Tian immediately lunged towards the Blood Race ancestor, unable to permit him to enact this Blood Refining!
But...
The Blood Race ancestor thrust his spear forward, unleashing several beams of scarlet light from its tip. These ensnared Zhan Tian like sentient spiritual snakes.
"Observe closely, and witness how I obliterate every single Human of this realm!"
"Begone!"
Zhan Tian roared, unleashing the full might of his Half Sacred Body, a dazzling radiance of jade emanated outward. Despite his power now equalling that of a cultivator at the peak of the Ninth Layer, the Blood Refining was the Blood Race's most formidable trump card, preventing his immediate escape.
"Are you enjoying the spectacle?"
The Blood Race old ancestor drew closer to Zhan Tian, taunting him.
"Fear not, once they are all extinguished, I shall escort you back to the Blood Pool for refinement. Such a powerful being assimilated into the Blood Pool will undoubtedly enhance its might considerably!"
"By then, the combined forces of the three races shall descend upon the Eastern Continent, consuming your entire Human Race."
"My power will grow even further!"
"At that time, your Human Race will become nothing more than a blood banquet for my people!"
"Kekeke...."
The Blood Race old ancestor erupted into maniacal laughter.
A certainty settled within him: the Emperor of Great Yu would not make an appearance, and this was no scheme devised against him.
His need for constant vigilance had vanished.
Before this moment, he had lived with the readiness to flee back to the Blood Cry Realm at any instant.
"Is that so?"
Rumble....
A torrent of golden light descended from the heavens, and the four crimson energy barriers winked out of existence.
The Blood Refining technique shattered instantaneously!
"Dangerous!"
In that instant, a singular thought consumed the ancient ancestor of the Blood Race: to return to the Blood Cry Realm.
But then, a figure materialized from the void, positioning itself at the entryway to the Blood Cry Realm. "Old coot, where do you think you're headed?"
Zhou!
Zhan Tian froze, utterly astonished. How could it be him!
Could it be...
Just as these thoughts raced through his mind, another figure emerged from the spatial rift.
Emperor Yu!
Together, they obstructed the path of the Blood Race's ancient ancestor, one ahead and the other behind.
"Indeed!"
Witnessing Emperor Yu's appearance, Zhan Tian's understanding clicked into place.
"How is this possible?"
Duke Liu uttered in disbelief, his gaze fixed on the unfolding scene!
His Majesty and Zhou had actually joined forces!
Duke Yuan, on the other hand, remained impassive, teetering precariously on the brink of losing his final thread of sanity.
Only the National Preceptor mused, "So this is the truth!"
"Phew—"
The Shadow figure, observing Zhou suspended in the air, felt a sudden wave of relief wash over him.
He had been mistaken.
Zhou would never conspire with an alien race against the Human Race!
"Is this a trap laid out for me?"
The ancient ancestor of the Blood Race wore an expression of extreme grimness.
"Not precisely. Your awakening was rather opportune, so we made adjustments and decided to include you as an unplanned bonus."
Emperor Yu stated nonchalantly.
The original strategy involved luring out the entirety of the three races' elite forces, particularly the Blood Race, as Great Yu lacked the means to confront them effectively within the confines of the Blood Cry Realm.
However, a lack of opportunity had prevented them from emerging.
It was especially true for powerful figures like Blood Radiance.
Consequently, Emperor Yu had permitted the Stone Race, the Tree-man Race, and ultimately, Zhou himself opened a passage.
This enabled the three races to unite their efforts.
With Zhou acting as a deterrent, the three races were freed from their concerns.
Should they have pushed forward, the myriad mansions of Great Yu and Emperor Yu would have been utterly incapable of handling the onslaught.
That would have spelled utter disaster!
Thus, they had marshalled nearly all of Great Yu's available might in this location, intending to draw out and annihilate all the formidable experts from the three races, thereby eradicating future threats!
