The Blood God Doppelganger wiped the blood stain on his lips. The difference between a Primordial Unity Golden Immortal and Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal was a large boundary to overcome. The attack from the Ancestor of Heaven and Earth could not be deflected by the Wuji Apricot Flag alone. Since defense was not working, forgoing it might have been best. As the old saying went: "The best defense is the best offense."

The Blood Burning Tactic was meant to be a trump card for emergency use for the future disciples. But who knew that the first person to use this technique would be Ming He’s own Blood God Doppelganger. The activation of the technique caused the Blood God Doppelganger’s blood to burn. Once every second blood was being ignited, his presence became stronger with hair like blood and the aura bright like a rainbow.

The Ancestor of Heaven and Earth was surprised when he saw this. He considered the Blood God Doppelganger was struggling impotently. He pretended to be saddened and said, "Why bother? To reach the realm you’re at was not easy, why struggle so hard for one treasure? My promise still stands; I’ll spare your life so long as you hand over the treasure."

The Blood God Doppelganger laughed coldly. "Oh, really? But now I want your life and your two Magic Weapons seems to be fated with me. If you hand them over, I could spare your life." In the blink of an eye, the doppelganger’s power grew, reached the state of being equivalent to an Early Stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal.

The Ancestor of Heaven and Earth opened his mouth in shock. He only thought that the doppelganger was a goner for burning his blood essence to become slightly stronger. But he could not have known that his strength would increase a realm. Such secret techniques were rare. The Ancestor of Heaven and Earth had immediately thought to defeat him and force the doppelganger to spit out the technique.

"Rain of Blood." The doppelganger struck out with his sword and a burst of blood rain hurtled towards the Ancestor of Heaven and Earth like a thunderstorm. It was completely unlike the previous attack. A Primordial Unity Golden Immortal at its peak might seem like only a step away from an Early Stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, but they were incomparable.

The Ancestor of Heaven and Earth saw the attack and the Map of Heaven and Earth unfurled above his head. Countless green lights shone from the map, becoming a blurring swirl that absorbed the attack. The Ancestor of Heaven and Earth sneered when he saw that, the technique might be good but it did not last. He could just use the same methods till the doppelganger lost his strength, and that would be when he could go in for the final blow.

The Blood God Doppelganger did not stop his attack, even when he saw that the blood fog released by the sword was absorbed by the Map of Heaven and Earth. He struck again and again until the sky was literally raining blood. This confused the Ancestor of Heaven and Earth.

Having used the same method more than 10 times, the Blood God Doppelganger finally stopped. His body grew weaker and he would revert back to his original realm subsequently. Though all his attacks had been absorbed by the Map of Heaven and Earth, he laughed it off.

The Ancestor of Heaven and Earth maneuvered his weapon to suck in the blood fog from the sword’s aura. After seeing how weak the doppelganger became, he laughed. "Oh come on. Don’t tell me you only know of this one technique? It might look flashy, but it’s useless. Now it’s my turn, prepare to meet your doom."

The Blood God Doppelganger laughed eerily. "Really? My sword’s aura won’t be swallowed so easily." Immediately, the face of the Ancestor of Heaven and Earth had changed, as the green light of the Map of Heaven and Earth trembled, and then disappeared. The map seemed to have suffered a great blow and lost its luster, only to fall straight from the top of the ancestor’s head.

"Humph!" The Blood God Doppelganger laughed hysterically at the Ancestor of Heaven and Earth’s miserable appearance, blood dripping from his mouth with bloodshot eyes. "Bwahahaha... Did you really think that my Sword Aura would be so easily destroyed? Old fool! Blood River Formation!"

The Blood God Doppelganger released dozens of clones to create a Blood River Formation that emitted a dangerous aura. The Ancestor of Heaven and Earth did not dare to underestimate him and instantly cast an Art of Immortality to block the attack whilst trying to take back the Map of Heaven and Earth.

The Map of Heaven and Earth was available for anyone to take control of. How would the Blood God Doppelganger let him take it back? The attack was actually a bluff, what was hidden within the attack was the real killing move. Though it was a real technique being released, the attack itself hid dozens of Clones of Blood God.

The map sucked in the attack together with the clones, flying in unnoticed by the Ancestor of Heaven and Earth as he was too fixated on the Blood God Doppelganger. The Clones of Blood God found the center of the map and instantly self-destructed within.

The self-detonation of dozen of peak Golden Immortal, especially in the center of the map was a huge blow. The Map of Heaven and Earth was badly damaged which resulted in the Ancestor of Heaven and Earth’s Original Spirit being erased, thus making the map a free treasure. There was no way for the Blood God Doppelganger to allow the ancestor to lay his hands on it again.

Evil Blood Aura, the second stroke of Boundless Sword Incantation, struck down as if to split the sky, the doppelganger’s sword cast out countless Sword Auras. Unlike the Rain of Blood which was used to kill hundreds in a simple stroke, the Evil Blood Aura was a focused attack. The Sword Auras gathered and slowly turning blood red, barreled toward the Ancestor of Heaven and Earth.

Facing the attack, the Ancestor of Heaven and Earth could not think about the map and hurriedly deflected the attack. The Clone Blood God made use of this opening and snatched the map. It was damaged but the Blood God Doppelganger was still happy as the map could be repaired and it would be as good as new.

Upon acquiring the Map of Heaven and Earth, the Blood God Doppelganger looked towards the Ancestor of Heaven and Earth trapped in the formation. He was so furious and reasonably, for instead of stealing from someone, he was stolen from. The anger was intensified because the one who had robbed him was of a lower cultivation realm than him. This was an embarrassing blow and he would be the joke of the century if this ever got out.

The Blood God Doppelganger did not nor did he want to know what the Ancestor of Heaven and Earth was thinking as he was stunned with drool coming out of his mouth. What was that above the ancestor’s head? He truly lived up to his name as the Ancestor of Heaven and Earth. Looking at the volume spiritual treasures hanging on him, this was a set and especially the last piece of the set.

An ancient, desolate cauldron with old scriptures written on it was floating above the ancestor’s head, while the scriptures looked messy and meaningless but it encompassed the profundity and essence behind the Tao. The cauldron cast down shafts of aura that looked like a curtain of light, stopping the Evil Blood Aura right before the Ancestor.

With an incredibly rare treasure before him, the Blood God Doppelganger could not believe his own eyes. This was what Ming He had wished for every day and night. With it appearing right before him, how could the Blood God Doppelganger not be excited? "Mine! Mine! This shall belong to me and me only." The Blood God Doppelganger was so obsessed in this treasure that he looked possessed.

According to the plan of the Blood God Doppelganger: After retrieving the Map of Heaven and Earth, he would leave and use the Clones of Blood God to create the Blood River Formation. This was to stall for time as the ancestor was a Late Stage Zenith Heaven Golden Immortal, and the Blood Burning Tactic of the clones might not be able to defeat him. Better to be safe than sorry and to use tens thousands of clones in exchange for a Peak Grade Primordial Spiritual Treasure. It was a fair trade.

But with the appearance of the cauldron, the Blood God Doppelganger had a change of plans. With such a treasure laid before it, he could not leave or he would regret it for the rest of his life. The Blood God Doppelganger maneuvered the formation to attack the ancestor while hurriedly informing Ming He, who was meditating in Blood Sea.

This cauldron was exactly the same that Ming He thought of when he was transforming. This cauldron was formed by Green Lotus of Chaos, a Top Grade Primordial Supreme Treasure. It had an incomparable defense with endless Air from Heaven and Earth, the unbelievable ability to Return to Genesis, and not only to increase the grade of other spiritual treasures and weapons but to also convert them from Postcelestial to Primordial. Since he had seen it, there was no way he would let it go and considered the ancestor a dead man. Now all he needed to do was to wait for Ming He’s arrival.
