Chapter 755: A Civilization’s Future, the Blood Abyss Threat
“I’m thoroughly impressed.”
After their mental sparring match, the Transcendental Daoist Celestial looked at him with admiration.
“I’ve also benefited a lot from mentally sparring with you, Brother Transcendental.”
“Brother Chu, your understanding in the Dao is on par with a Daoist Celestial. Yet, you’re only thirty years old, which is truly remarkable. In time, you’ll certainly become a Great Daoist Celestial, then a Heavenly Daoist Celestial, or perhaps even cross the threshold of an Emperor and become a being that we’ve never seen before in Firmament Star… An Immortal!”
The Daoist Celestial Realm could be split into three realms — the Minor Daoist Celestial, Great Daoist Celestial, and Heavenly Daoist Celestial!
Above the Heavenly Daoist Celestial would be the Immortal Realm!
The Transcendental Daoist Celestial was now only a mid-stage Minor Daoist Celestial. He would still need to reach the late-stage and peak-stage before he could become a Great Daoist Celestial. Even then, the Immortal Realm was far above that of the Great and Heavenly Daoist Celestial. It was just too far away from his grasp.
However, in his opinion, Chu Kuangren could become an Immortal in the future!
“Throughout these years, I’ve obtained some scriptures from the Extraterritorial Region that have allowed me to know about the Immortals. It is said that Immortals are the pillars of civilization itself!”
“Only a civilization with Immortals is qualified to stand proudly in this vast universe. Civilizations without any Immortals are extremely puny. They will always end up being colonized by other stronger civilizations and being slaves to others without any way to resist at all.”
“Brother Chu, the Blood Tribe is not your true goal!”
“Because they do not have any Immortals among them!”
“Your true goal is to become an Immortal. If you manage to become one, you can easily wipe out the whole Blood Tribe as you wish. And because of you, the Firmament Star’s future will also be brighter, and we can then stand proud in the universe!”
The Transcendental Daoist Celestial looked at Chu Kuangren with a very fierce and hopeful gaze.
From his point of view, Chu Kuangren was no longer a talented sky-pride but the future of Firmament Star’s civilization!
Chu Kuangren could feel the passion in Transcendental Daoist Celestial’s gaze.
That gaze was even more intense than some of the obsessed female cultivators he had encountered, giving him goosebumps all over. He could not help but shudder.
Then, he gulped.
“Brother Transcendental, that’s a lot of pressure coming from yours.”
“Ha, I believe you can do it, Brother Chu.”
The Transcendental Daoist Celestial regained his composure.
He, too, understood that becoming an Immortal was no easy task and could not be rushed.
Despite how talented Chu Kuangren was, becoming an Immortal was not something he could do at will. After all, only a few beings in this vast universe had managed to reach the level of an Immortal.
…
Blood Origin Star.
The center of the Blood Tribe’s civilization.
The remaining twelve Blood Kings were gathered here today.
Everyone arrived at the Blood Origin Star’s sacred land, which stood a towering mountain that was red as blood… The Blood God Mountain!
Countless mysterious runes were carved around that mountain, emanating surges of energy waves that could make every Blood Tribe member submit.
“Get ready to start.”
The Argent King said.
The other Blood Kings looked at each other and took a deep breath.
Everyone then took out a large pile of blood-colored crystals and placed them around the Blood God Mountain. Those crystals were blood gemstones.
The number of blood gemstones used was equivalent to the total production output of Blood Origin Star for several eras.
After placing the blood gemstones, the Blood Kings stood at their respective positions and started chanting weird incantations, which emanated a strange energy fluctuation.
The Blood God Mountain then started to tremble.
With that, the runes on the mountain swirled about.
The energy contained within the countless blood gemstones was absorbed by the Blood God Mountain, resulting in a bright blood-colored pillar of light that shot into the sky.
The pillar of light rose into the skies and broke through the void.
Terrifying energy waves spread everywhere. Like a pebble thrown into a lake, ripple after ripples soon appeared throughout the universe.
With the Blood Origin Star as its center, the void within a ten million kilometer radius was all affected.
“The Blood Abyss has been activated. Now, let us gather our strengths to unleash it above the Firmament Star’s sky,” the Argent King said.
The other Blood Kings nodded.
However, everyone frowned after a while.
“There’s a mega formation guarding the outer area of Firmament Star, and it’s repelling the Blood Abyss’s effect. There is no way we can unleash this within that mega formation.”
One of the Blood Kings uttered.
The other Blood Kings were also astounded.
They knew that the Firmament Star was guarded with a mega formation but did not expect it to be able to repel the Blood Abyss’s energy.
“If we can’t unleash it within the mega formation, then let’s focus on everything outside of it. Let’s destroy the eighty-one strongholds first.”
Another Blood King said.
“That’s all we can do for now.”
…
Inside the Crimson Sun Asteroid.
Chu Kuangren was just done mentally sparring with the Transcendental Daoist Celestial.
They were helping themselves to some tea when both of them suddenly frowned and looked towards the Firmament Star.
“That strange energy fluctuation earlier… It seems like something has hit the Firmament Star’s mega formation. What is going on?!”
The Transcendental Daoist Celestial’s expression was stern.
Both of their Emperor Thoughts surged forth and began to inspect the mega formation.
However, none of them found anything unusual.
Besides the two of them, the other Daoist Celestials also noticed the strange energy fluctuation and sent forth their Emperor Thoughts to survey the area.
The Detaching Heaven Megaformation was Firmament Star’s strongest line of defense, so it must never be broken through at all costs. Otherwise, the consequences would be disastrous.
Hum…
Just as every Daoist Celestials’ Emperor Thoughts were inspecting the area, a never-seen-before energy fluctuation suddenly occurred in the void outside the Detaching Heaven. The Daoist Celestials’ expressions changed drastically.
“This energy fluctuation… What’s going on?!”
“Look, what’s that?!”
The Daoist Celestials’ Emperor Thoughts communicated.
A blood-colored crack stretching thousands of kilometers long suddenly appeared in the void. From it, strange and ominous energy fluctuations akin to a deep abyss seeped through!
The Daoist Celestials’ Emperor Thoughts attempted to observe what it was. However, they were immediately destroyed as soon as they got close, and no one was able to look into it at all.
While everyone was still wondering what it was, large amounts of blood-colored mist suddenly spewed out from the blood-colored crack and headed towards one of the strongholds.
With an incredibly grim expression, the commodore of that stronghold led a group of Emperors and attempted to resist it with their Emperor qi.
Several energy attacks were unleashed into the blood-colored mist.
However, it was useless.
After that, some of his troops were soon covered in the blood-colored mist. Swirls of blood qi began to enter their body, causing it to swell rapidly. They could only scream in pain as their bodies exploded.
“This is bad. Quick, retreat!”
“Fall back to the stronghold and activate the mega defensive formation!”
The stronghold commodore yelled.
In a short while, millions of cultivators had retreated to guard that mega formation.
However, that blood-colored mist surged and covered the whole stronghold. Gradually, it eroded the stronghold’s mega formation like a disease.
That stronghold was not the only one. Seemingly boundless, the blood-colored mist seeped out of that blood-colored abyss in the void. Soon, all eighty-one strongholds were covered in it.
Some of it was even heading towards the Firmament Star.
All of the Daoist Celestials could no longer sit and watch.
“That blood mist contains surges of Blood Source Power, so this is certainly the work of the Blood Tribe. How did they manage to do this?!”
“The eighty-one strongholds have all been covered in that blood mist. Some of it is even spreading to the Firmament Star too.”
“With the Detaching Heaven Megaformation around, it’ll take a long time before the blood mist can enter Firmament Star. We’ll need to come up with a solution quickly.”
“All the Daoist Celestials, gather around.”
Due to the threat of the Blood Abyss, the twenty-four Daoist Celestials gathered once more to discuss what to do.
However, something even more troublesome happened soon after.
The frontline troops of the Blood Tribe that had been inactive for several months quickly took the advantage to start a large-scale attack. All of them were not affected by the blood-colored mist at all.
At that moment, every stronghold was instantly plunged into an intense battle.
