On the cliff, Golden Dragon sat slumped beside the bluestone, gasping for breath. Ye Qingzhou threw him a pot of fine wine brewed from spiritual fruits.

As the amber wine went down his throat, his meridians that had been eroded by the vampire clan’s secret techniques immediately felt much more relaxed.

“After we parted at the sword fighting competition, I didn’t expect that our next meeting would be like this.”

Ye Qingzhou ignited the Hunyuan Dao Fire at his fingertips, and the Yin and Yang Qi turned into an invisible millstone. As it rotated, it helped him temporarily eliminate the blood poison lurking in his body. Then he asked, “How did you end up in the blood slave farm?”

The golden dragon smiled bitterly and pulled open his collar, revealing the faintly visible blood-colored curse pattern on his collarbone: “While traveling in the Caspian Sea, I accidentally entered a dragon clan ruins and obtained an ancient dragon clan treasure. As a result, I was targeted by the blood clan.”

He suddenly lowered his voice and said, “That thing is now hidden in…”

“Sh …

The night sky was suddenly dyed scarlet, and twelve blood priests stepped out from the void.

The leader held the reverse scale pendant that the golden dragon once wore, and said with a sinister smile: “The Holy Ancestor had long anticipated that someone would break into the prison, so he specially planted the ‘Blood Trace Curse’ in the dragon’s body.”

The moment the pendant exploded, the golden dragon’s pupils suddenly dilated, and blood vessel-like red light appeared all over his body – he uncontrollably drew his sword and stabbed Ye Qingzhou in the heart!
Hey~
The chaotic energy automatically protected its master and deflected the sword, but Ye Qingzhou frowned.

This is not an ordinary mind control technique, but a blood curse that directly rewrites the life form. A strange life fluctuation is trying to recompile the genetic sequence of the golden dragon.

It is similar to a transformation ritual that turns people into vampires.

If the Golden Dragon itself did not have dragon blood and a more advanced genetic sequence than the vampires, it would probably have been transformed into a life form by its opponent by now.

“Just bear with it.”

Ye Qingzhou slapped the golden dragon’s crown with his palm, and the gray-white Taoist patterns flowed into his seven orifices.

Amid the sound of bones cracking, an illusory five-clawed golden dragon was forcibly pulled out from behind the golden dragon, and the dragon’s abdomen was covered with dense blood threads.

The blood priests were horrified when they saw this: “He was able to strip the Holy Ancestor of his…”

Before he finished speaking, twelve sword lights flew out from Ye Qingzhou’s sleeves and pierced their eyebrows accurately.

The Golden Dragon regained consciousness and vomited a large mouthful of black blood. He trembled and offered a dragon ball from his dantian: “This is what I found in the ruins… It contains the memory fragments of the Emperor Mie’s killing of the ancient three-headed evil dragon.”

In the image projected by the dragon ball, the Emperor Mie, with a young face, was holding the Sin-Blood Tuli Sword, while a red-haired boy, who had transformed into the sword spirit, was gnawing on the reverse scales of a five-clawed golden dragon – this was the key for the Blood God to seize the authority to “create living things”.

Ye Qingzhou’s eyes narrowed. “So that’s how it is. It seems that the other party wants to use your bloodline…try to make it look real and summon a giant dragon from the distant past to this era.”

Thirteen blood pillars suddenly rose from the direction of Canaan in the distance, and the sound of a horn could be heard faintly. The Golden Dragon’s face turned pale: “It’s the horn of doom! Those old monsters in the coffins are about to wake up collectively!”

Ye Qingzhou looked towards the night sky in the opposite direction, where the silver moon and the black moon appeared at the same time – the goddess of night Sophia was forcibly breaking the seal left by the blood god.

“Let’s go.”

Ye Qingzhou lifted up the golden dragon and flew into the air: “It’s time to do what we should do.”

However, at this moment, changes suddenly occurred.

The dusk at the border of Canaan was dyed scarlet. Three hundred Crimson Guards advanced like a mechanical torrent. They rode on tigress chariots. The sound of tracks crushing gravel made the earth tremble slightly.

In the chariot, the Crimson Guards were wearing the third-generation “Blood Rage” exoskeleton armor. The blood crystal power cores at the joints flashed with eerie light, and the anti-gravity device on the back made their movements as swift as ghosts.

Six “Scarlet Bride” heavy tanks rolled over the scorched earth, and the humming sound of their main guns charging was like the whisper of death.

The living armor on the surface of the vehicle squirmed, greedily devouring the surrounding energy fluctuations.

Livia Bloodthorn stood on the front chariot, her dark red armor flowing with a mercury-like luster, and the silver master-level blood energy condensed in her palm, turning into a constantly multiplying thorn whip.

Her golden vertical pupils were fixed on the golden dragon in the distance, and a cruel smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.

“Fire mode, Blood Rose.”

At the command, the Crimson Guards instantly deployed into battle formation.

The soldiers in the front row half-knelt and raised their guns. The electromagnetic acceleration runes of the Gauss rifles lit up, and the barrage of bullets poured down like a rainstorm!

The warriors in the middle row activated the particle blades, and the high-frequency vibrating blades cut through the air, forming an airtight sword formation!
The tank’s main gun was fully charged, and six scarlet beams of light pierced through the sky, heading straight for the target!

Boom~~
The golden dragon’s protective aura was instantly torn apart, and his right shoulder was pierced by a Gauss armor-piercing bullet, with blood gushing out.

He groaned, staggered back, and turned pale: “These lunatics… brought the entire arsenal here?!”

Just as the rain of bullets was about to engulf the golden dragon, a bright white figure flashed in front of him like a ghost.

“Stand back.”

Ye Qingzhou’s voice was calm, yet it carried unquestionable majesty.

He tapped his temple with his fingertips, and dark golden liquid metal instantly covered his entire body. The Heavenly Sword Battle Armor – activated!
“Quantum deflection field, deploy.”

hum~~
All the incoming Gauss bullets suddenly turned strangely three meters away from Ye Qingzhou, as if they were pulled by an invisible force, deviating from their trajectory and shooting into the ground.

“Sword Scale Imperial Armor, defense mode.”

One hundred and eight thousand nano-scale sword scales automatically reorganized themselves and had just formed an absolute defense matrix when six beams of plasma cannon fire hit the scales, crushing them into light particles all over the sky!

Livia’s pupils shrank suddenly: “How is it possible…”

Ye Qingzhou didn’t give her time to think.

“Sword feathers and wings, sweeping away the clouds.”

The light wings behind him suddenly disintegrated and turned into three independent combat units.

The first group swooped down like a meteor, and 180,000 miniature lightsabers accurately penetrated the gaps in the armor of every scarlet warrior!

The second group formed a circular defense matrix, blocking all the main gun fire from the six tanks!

The third group directly invaded the enemy’s electronic system and tampered with combat orders!

bang~
A “Scarlet Tigress” tank suddenly turned its guns and blasted the friendly tank next to it into scrap metal! The driver inside was horrified to find that the control system had been completely hijacked.

“Damn it! It’s a hacker attack!”

A bloody commander roared: “Cut off all electronic links and switch to manual operation!”

But it’s too late.

Ye Qingzhou’s figure shuttled across the battlefield like a ghost, and each punch and kick accurately destroyed an armored core. The mobility that the exoskeleton warriors were proud of was like a slow-motion playback in front of him.

Livia finally couldn’t hold back any longer, she jumped off the chariot, and the long thorn whip attacked Ye Qingzhou like a poisonous snake!

slap~
The long whip wrapped around Ye Qingzhou’s ankles, and the blood energy madly corroded, trying to corrupt his flesh and blood.

“Taixu Furnace, energy reversal.”

The chaos core in the chest suddenly lit up, and the blood energy on the thorn whip was actually drawn back!

Livia groaned, her knuckles cracked, and blood dripped down her wrists.

“You…you have the quantum prediction system of Tianji Research Institute?!”

She finally realized something, her voice filled with disbelief.

Ye Qingzhou did not answer, but raised his hand and pinched her visor.

“Crack!” The visor of the Stigmata Armed Forces shattered, revealing Livia’s horrified face.

“Descendants of the Seventh Holy King?”

Ye Qingzhou sneered, “Nothing more than that.”

When the last tank turned into a fireball during the self-destruction program, the entire wasteland fell into deathly silence.

Huang Jinlong dragged his injured leg over, looked at the wreckage on the ground, and murmured: “These equipments… are enough to arm a small country…”

Ye Qingzhou kicked open an exoskeleton armor that was still twitching, revealing the golden council emblem engraved inside.

“The military technology of the Western Kingdom, the biological transformation of the blood race, and…”

Ye Qingzhou raised his foot and crushed a piece of blood crystal, his eyes flashing with cold light, “The Blood-Golden Scroll Secret Text of the Blood-Colored Temple.”

In the distance, a vague command came from a communicator that was not completely damaged:

“Holy Ancestor’s Order… Start now… The Horn of Doomsday…”

The smoke slowly dissipated at the border of Canaan. The scorched earth was littered with the remains of exoskeleton armor. The remains of six “Scarlet Bride” chariots were still burning, and black smoke twisted and rose into the bloody sky.

Huang Jinlong covered the wound on his shoulder and limped to Ye Qingzhou’s side, with fear still in his eyes.

“Brother Ye, these equipments…”

The Golden Dragon cautiously kicked the remains of the Gauss rifle at his feet, and said with a bit of doubt: “This is not something that an ordinary vampire can get.”

Ye Qingzhou did not answer, his eyes fell on Livia’s broken armor. A tiny stream of data was still flashing in the dark red metal fragments – it was the encrypted communication record.

“The secret system has been cracked.”

Gray and white chaotic patterns flowed from his fingertips into the metal, forcibly deciphering the information in it. A few seconds later, a holographic projection appeared:
Records of arms trade in the Western Kingdom…

Gold Council’s money flows…

And… a 3D drawing of an inverted pyramid
“Sure enough…” Ye Qingzhou narrowed his eyes, “The Blood Clan, the Golden Council, and the Western Military have been working together in secret for a long time.”

At this moment, the unconscious Livia suddenly opened her eyes! Her body began to twitch unnaturally, and strange blood-colored runes appeared under her skin.

“Be careful!” Golden Dragon shouted, looking panicked: “It’s the forbidden technique of the vampire clan – ‘Blood Source Explosion’!”

Ye Qingzhou reacted extremely quickly, the sword-scale imperial armor instantly covered his entire body, and at the same time he grabbed the golden dragon and retreated violently!

Boom~~
Livia’s body exploded like a bomb, and her flesh and blood turned into countless tiny blood needles, shooting in all directions!
The ground within a radius of 100 meters was corroded with dense holes, and even the air was filled with foul-smelling poisonous fog.

After the smoke and dust cleared, Ye Qingzhou’s sword-scale imperial armor was covered with tiny dents, and the golden dragon’s face turned blue, obviously having inhaled a small amount of poisonous mist.

“Hey… this woman… is really crazy…”

The Golden Dragon coughed up a mouthful of black blood, “I would rather self-destruct than be captured…”

Ye Qingzhou stared at the center of the explosion, where only a crystal-clear blood-red crystal was left floating in the air.

He reached out and grabbed it. The crystal felt cold to the touch, with liquid faintly flowing inside.

“Seed of the Blood God…”

His pupils contracted slightly, and he immediately realized that this was not an ordinary self-explosion, but a means for a high-level member of the blood clan to condense his own essence into a “seed” when he was on the verge of death, waiting for resurrection.

On the sand dunes in the distance, a dark shadow quietly retreated. It was a mysterious man in a gray cloak, holding a crystal ball in his hand, and Ye Qingzhou’s figure was reflected in the ball.

“Target confirmed… Heavenly Sword Armor performance data has been recorded…”

He muttered softly, then crushed the crystal ball and disappeared like smoke.

Huang Jinlong took the detoxification pill and his expression eased a little: “Brother Ye, what should we do next?”

Ye Qingzhou put away the blood crystal and looked into the depths of Canaan: “Catch the leader first. I’m going to the inverted pyramid.”

“What?”

Huang Jinlong was stunned when he heard this: “Isn’t that the forbidden area of ​​the blood clan?”

“Livia’s memory fragments show that the key to the Blood God’s revival is hidden there.”

Ye Qingzhou’s voice was cold: “And…”

He raised his hand, and a holographic image appeared on his palm. In the image, the figure of Emperor Mie stood on the top of an inverted pyramid, holding a blood-red sword wrapped in black mist in his hand.

“There may be clues related to Emperor Destruction there.”

The night wind suddenly blew up, blowing up dust and blocking the moonlight. On the distant horizon, there were faint scarlet lights flickering – more bloody guards were gathering.

Huang Jinlong swallowed his saliva and said, “Why don’t you go alone? A weakling like me would be in the way and would only hold you back…”

“I calculated that if you follow me, you will be dead, but if you go alone, you will be dead…”

“Brother Ye, don’t joke like that. I’m afraid…”

“I’m not kidding, this is what God has given me…”

“…”

Huang Jinlong suddenly felt like crying but had no tears. He felt that he was really unlucky. Next time he would check the almanac before going out!
Ye Qingzhou activated the flight module of the Sky Sword Armor, and the gray-white light wings spread out behind him.

“Follow me closely.”

“Brother Ye, wait for me!”

Two figures soared into the sky and flew towards the darkest heart of Canaan.

The land of Canaan, the Holy Temple of the God of Blood.

This is an inverted pyramid. The space inside violates the laws of physics. Countless steps hang upside down on the dome. A bloody river flows from bottom to top and merges into the pitch-black coffin at the top.

Tianci knelt on one knee in front of the altar, his scarlet cloak falling to the ground, and said in a heavy voice: “Holy Ancestor, Livia… has fallen.”

The figure of the seventh Holy King Salmas was suspended above the coffin, and the cursed chains wrapped around his body were rattling.

Hearing about the death of his most beloved descendant, he slowly opened his eyes, with no sadness or joy in his eyes: “So?”

Tianci clenched his fists: “After all, she is your direct bloodline, should we…”

“How is the preparation for the transformation ceremony of the hive going?”

Salmas interrupted directly, his voice like an icy blade scraping at bones.

Tianci’s Adam’s apple rolled as he spoke with difficulty: “We have captured 930,000 low-level vampires, but only 70,000 pure-blood nobles have been gathered… Do we really have to sacrifice a million of our own kind?”

The reliefs on the walls of the pyramid suddenly came alive, showing an ancient scene – the Blood God wielded a sword and cut off the Dragon Emperor’s head, countless swarms of insects poured out of the dragon’s corpse, and the sky was covered by a scarlet tide of insects.

“Did you see that?”

Salmas pointed to the relief: “Back then, my Lord used the blood of the Dragon King to breed the first generation of insect swarms, which almost destroyed the entire world.”

His skinny fingers suddenly tightened: “Now we have a more perfect carrier – Xuan Gu!” (End of this chapter)
