Chapter 698: Seven Blood Realms
A faint blood mist enveloped the sky, and the sun also emitted a crimson glow like blood.
Blood Burial Grass grew densely across the blood plains.
A group of red-haired female cultivators rode horned blood horses, patrolling back and forth on the blood plains.
This group of female cultivators wasn’t weak; all were of the Nascent Soul, a total of 19 people, each with a grave expression.
"Strange, clearly someone entered our Blood Burial Nation, but there’s no trace of them..." one Late Harmonious Spirit female cultivator frowned and said.
"Could it be spies from the other six nations?" another Mid Divine Transformation Realm female cultivator speculated.
"Possible. The Palace Master’s limit is near, and the flower devils from the other six nations are bound to make moves. Their aim is nothing but the master’s relics. Humph, they really don’t understand the Palace Master’s good intentions. The master’s relics are guarded by a fierce beast; there’s no way they can seize them. Stopping them from taking it is only for their own good..."
"The Palace Master is still too soft. If I had the Palace Master’s cultivation, I would’ve annihilated the rebels of the other six nations long ago, leaving no chance for their betrayal!"
"Silence! Is the Palace Master’s right or wrong something a mere subordinate like you can comment on?"
"I know my mistake! I dare not speak out of turn again!"
"Hmph! You’ll be punished when we return. Move!"
The group of female cultivators came and went like the wind, leaving quickly.
Long after these women had departed, a white-clothed young man and a frail red-haired woman suddenly appeared on the plains.
"The Palace Master’s limit is near! What should we do?" The red-haired woman heard the news and looked distressed.
She looked at the white-clothed young man beside her, showing a pleading expression for the first time, "Please, save the Palace Master, just like you saved me before!"
"Oh? You want me to lend aid to your Palace Master?" The white-clothed young man looked at the red-haired woman with an inexplicable expression.
The white-clothed young man was Ning Fan, who had entered the Blood Slave Garden, and the red-haired woman was the Red-Haired Human Cauldron he had subdued before.
"Aid is better than death, isn’t it?" The red-haired woman bit her lip and said.
"What is your Palace Master’s cultivation level?" Ning Fan asked indifferently.
"Void... Void Fragmentation Realm..." The red-haired woman didn’t dare lie.
"She’s quite a good cauldron... But why doesn’t she abandon her cultivation? That could save her life. There’s no need for me to aid, is there?"
"She won’t abolish her cultivation. Even if she dies, she’ll guard Blood Slave Palace. She’s too stubborn..."
"Is that so... Now, disclose to me all the detailed information about the seven nations of the Blood Realm."
"Unless you promise to save the Palace Master... Otherwise..."
"She’s an excellent cauldron, I certainly wouldn’t waste that. Now, you may speak." Ning Fan coldly stated.
"Alright, I’ll tell you."
Ning Fan handed a jade scroll to the red-haired woman, and she inscribed all the information she knew onto it.
Having read the information in the jade scroll, Ning Fan’s gaze slightly flickered.
The Blood Slave Garden was once the private garden of Elder Fu Linglong of the Slaughter Palace, specifically for raising flower devils.
One day, Fu Linglong suddenly made a mistake in her cultivation and died violently in the Blood Slave Garden.
All her relics were stored in a certain place, known only to the successive masters of the Blood Slave Palace.
It is said that Fu Linglong had a private passage to and from the Eastern Heaven Immortal World, located where the relics were stored.
This passage was Ning Fan’s primary objective for the journey!
Of course, obtaining the Shattered Void Cauldron of the entire Blood Slave Garden was also one of Ning Fan’s objectives.
In the Seven Blood Realms, the Blood Slave Palace is located within the Blood Burial Nation, with only one Palace Master possessing Void Fragmentation Realm cultivation.
The other Void Fragmentation cultivators have long since betrayed the Blood Slave Palace and established their own devil nations.
Among the other six nations, there are no fewer than a hundred Void Fragmentation female cultivators!
These people are all eager to obtain the relics left by Fu Linglong.
Their lifespan is flawed, yet none are willing to abandon their cultivation.
They believe that if they acquire Fu Linglong’s relics, they can definitely resolve their lifespan problems.
Among these hundred female Void Fragmentation cultivators, the highest cultivation is only the Crumbled Void Seventh Layer.
Although the six nations have many experts, none have a cultivation higher than the Master of the Blood Slave Palace.
The Blood Slave Palace Master relies on the Immortal Array protecting the palace to repeatedly fend off enemy attacks.
But now that the Blood Slave Palace Master’s limit is near, her life is in jeopardy. If experts from the six nations attack again, I fear there will be no strength left to resist.
"I’m afraid when your Palace Master falls, it’ll be when the Blood Burial Nation is exterminated by the other six nations..." Ning Fan said after putting away the jade scroll.
"No, the Palace Master is such a good person, she can’t die! Damn those rebels; they don’t even understand that the Palace Master is fighting so hard just to protect them. They are such ungrateful rebels!" the Red-Haired Human Cauldron angrily declared.
"Just now, those female cultivators said that the place where Fu Linglong stored her relics is guarded by a fierce beast, very dangerous... What is that fierce beast?"
"I don’t know... or rather, no one knows what that fierce creature is. But it’s truly formidable; several generations of Palace Masters who reached the Dispelling Demons Realm tried to enter the hidden land to obtain the relic, yet were torn to pieces effortlessly by that creature..."
"A creature capable of effortlessly tearing apart rogue devils..." Ning Fan frowned.
It seems that this mysterious creature is indeed not to be underestimated.
Whether it’s to find Fu Linglong’s relic or to ascend to Eastern Heaven through the passage, confronting that creature is necessary.
That creature must at least be at the Life Immortal Realm... Although Ning Fan isn’t weak, he doesn’t believe he can survive under a Life Immortal’s hands for certain.
Moreover, what if the creature’s cultivation is even higher than a Life Immortal’s...
"Dear brother, there’s no need to be afraid. That creature is at the peak of the Life Immortal Realm but hasn’t reached True Immortal yet. With my current cultivation, killing it isn’t difficult!"
A long-lost voice suddenly echoed in his heart.
Ning Fan’s gaze softened, "Little You Er, your primordial spirit..."
"It’s completely restored. Even without a physical body, I can barely exert the power of the Enlightenment Realm. If I could find a True Immortal corpse, I might be able to fully restore my Shedding Void Realm cultivation. I can sense, within this Blood Realm, there’s a True Immortal corpse guarded by that creature..."
"Fu Linglong’s corpse!" Ning Fan, not foolish, had guessed the key point.
"Fu Linglong, who is that? Speaking of which, why are you here?" Luo You asked, surprised.
Ning Fan closed his eyes, revealing the matters of ascension and the intelligence of the Blood Slave Garden to Luo You through his heart spirit.
"You’re going to ascend already..." A soft sigh echoed in the Xuan Yin Treasure.
With the precious pills given by Taiwu, Luo You’s primordial spirit was fully restored.
In this place lies a so-called perfect female True Immortal corpse, suitable for Luo You’s resurrection.
And once Ning Fan leaves the Blood Slave Garden, he will ascend to Eastern Heaven.
Eastern Heaven, is that the land of separation for her and him...
"Are you fully confident in destroying that creature?" Ning Fan asked again.
"Hmm, what of the peak of Life Immortal Realm, just a single finger from me could end it." Luo You smiled charmingly.
"If that’s the case, then there’s nothing much to worry about. Fu Linglong’s corpse, relic, and the ascension passage are all here. In any case, that creature must be exterminated. Little You Er, you should rest for now, and don’t deplete your primordial spirit’s power before dealing with it."
"Hmm..."
Ning Fan closed his eyes, communicating with Luo You through his heart spirit.
He stood there for a long time, and the Red-Haired Human Cauldron dared not disturb him.
Suddenly, the sound of horns echoed throughout the Blood Burial Nation.
From all directions, countless scarlet flames shot up to the sky.
"This isn’t good! War has begun! The Six Nations have started attacking the Blood Burial Nation!" The Red-Haired Human Cauldron instantly went pale.
The attack by the Six Nations signifies that the Palace Master’s death is imminent.
"I beg you, please go save the Palace Master! She must be struggling to protect the Blood Slave Palace! I beg you, unlock the shackles in her heart!"
The Red-Haired Human Cauldron clung to Ning Fan’s leg, pleading.
Ning Fan slowly opened his eyes, lifted the Red-Haired Human Cauldron with a wave of his sleeve, and looked towards the distant flames, his expression also grave.
He vaguely sensed over a hundred Void Fragmentation auras rushing towards the Blood Burial Nation.
Is the Palace Master of the Blood Slave Palace really going to die...
"The cauldron I’ve taken a liking to can’t die so easily."
Ning Fan took out the Ancient Golden Sword, carrying the Red-Haired Human Cauldron, and flew straight towards the capital of the Blood Burial Nation on the sword.
The Blood Slave Palace is just there!
The little Mu Weiliang was staying inside the Cauldron Ring, at this moment, Ning Fan didn’t need to conceal his ruthlessness.
He intended to take all the Shattered Void Flower Devils of the Blood Slave Garden as his cauldrons!
...
In the Blood Slave Palace, a palace-dressed woman with red hair high up was half-reclining on a bed, taking medicine under the care of two female cultivators.
Her face was extremely pale, and the vitality within her body was rapidly fading.
"Am I finally going to die... Unfortunately, in the current Blood Slave Palace, there’s no one capable of taking the responsibility as the next Palace Master to balance the Six Nations... After my death, surely those people will enter the hidden land, they’re seeking death, I just want to protect them, but they don’t know..."
The palace-dressed woman sighed heavily.
Beside her, a female cultivator showed a disgruntled expression, "Hmph! The Palace Master is good to them, yet they don’t realize it, only to repay kindness with enmity! In my opinion, they should be allowed to enter the hidden land and be eaten by the creature, that’s for the best!"
"Palace Master, why don’t you abolish your cultivation? As long as you abolish your cultivation, you can solve the defect of the Flower Demon Body..." another female cultivator asked cautiously.
"No, if I lose my cultivation, I’m nothing but a useless person, no different from death. But with my cultivation still intact, I can protect the Blood Slave Palace for a while longer before I die... By the way, is there any news of No. 431? After so many years, there’s still no news of her..."
No. 431 was the name of the Red-Haired Human Cauldron subdued by Ning Fan.
"No news at all..." Two female cultivators sighed, knowing that the Palace Master was someone who valued the past.
"Is that so..."
Wearing palace attire, the woman closed her eyes wearily, and in the next moment, her phoenix-like eyes suddenly opened in anger.
She heard the sounds of horns blaring from all directions and the camp engulfed in alarm!
She saw smoke rising across the nation, with great enemies invading!
"I am not dead yet, and they can’t wait any longer! Cough..."
In her fury, the woman in palace attire got out of bed, but a sharp pain hit her chest, causing her to cough up blood, her face turning even paler.
She wiped away the blood and walked out of the Blood Slave Palace angrily.
Outside the Blood Slave Palace, countless native female cultivators were already dead.
Cultivators from six nations at the Void Fragmentation stage stood in the sky, harvesting the lives of one Nascent Soul and Void Refinement female cultivator with each wave of their hand.
"Oh? Number One is still alive!" A beautiful woman with scales on her face stood in the sky and coldly sneered.
The Blood Slave Palace Master was known as Number One.
And she was Number Two!
If Number One died, she could take her place!
"Stop at once! The master said that we Flower Demons must not kill each other!" The woman in palace attire angrily reprimanded.
"Heh, our master has been dead for 6.4 million years, and we Flower Demons are not the batch raised by the master. Why should we listen to any command from the master? Number One, there’s no need to use the master’s name to suppress us. If you know what’s good for you, destroy your own cultivation and step aside. Considering our past friendship, we might spare your life!" Another woman, donned in black armor, coldly threatened.
She was Number Three! Also possessing the Double Seven Heavenly Layer of Void Fragmentation Realm!
"Have you forgotten the ancestral teachings?! Even if the master is deceased, we must carry out all of the master’s orders unless a new master appears!" the woman in palace attire said, clenching her silver teeth.
"Of course we haven’t forgotten! We are here to find the master’s relics, to break the Flower Demon defect, and also to seek the master’s token to become the Master of the Blood Slave Garden! Once we find the token, even you, a mere Blood Slave Palace Master, will have to serve us as our subordinate!" Another beautiful woman coldly said.
"There is only one token, and there is only one master. Who among you will be the Master of the Blood Slave Garden?" the woman in palace attire responded with a cold laugh.
"This..." Many cultivators at the Void Fragmentation realm shifted their gazes warily to each other.
The scaly woman chuckled, waved her hand, and said, "Sisters, do not be swayed by this wench. Who inherits the token is a matter for later. Let’s first destroy the Blood Slave Palace, enter the secret ground, capture the token, and then fight over the position of master, shall we?"
"Sister is right, we were almost provoked by this wench, kill her!"
"Hmph, do it!"
Over a hundred Void Fragmentation female cultivators all activated their secret techniques, shooting beams of blood light into the sky, causing a rain of blood to fall immediately.
The woman in palace attire was startled and immediately ordered, "Quickly retreat into the Blood Slave Palace, do not get hit by the blood rain!"
Done speaking, she hastily took out a blood-colored array disc and set up a blood-colored Immortal Array around the Blood Slave Palace, trying to withstand the blood rain.
Outside the Blood Slave Palace, one-third of the female cultivators retreated into the array light of the Blood Slave Palace.
The remaining two-thirds were all caught in the blood rain, their bodies involuntarily dissolving into blood.
In just a few moments, at least tens of thousands of Nascent Soul and Void Refinement female cultivators had fallen here!
"Since you do not heed the master’s last orders and kill Flower Demon sisters, do not blame me for being ruthless! Linglong Blood Array, kill!"
The blood-colored Immortal Array suddenly shone brightly, an innumerable number of Blood Arrows shot out from the array light, each one capable of instant-killing a Broken First Layer Cultivator!
The six-nation Void Fragmentation cultivators were all stunned, with only the scaly woman continuing to coldly sneer as she raised another array disc.
"Linglong Blood Array, kill!" Her words and tone were identical to those of the woman in palace attire!
With this gesture, the six-nation Void Fragmentation cultivators were all protected by layers of blood-colored array light.
That blood-colored array light was exactly like the one from the Blood Slave Palace, and countless Blood Arrows shot out simultaneously, colliding with the incoming Blood Arrows.
Gradually, cracks appeared in the array light of the Blood Slave Palace, and the array light on the scaly woman’s side also started cracking.
In the end, both arrays broke simultaneously, and the array discs held by both the scaly woman and the woman in palace attire were destroyed.
"You actually have the second array disc made by the master!" The woman in palace attire exclaimed in disbelief.
"Hmph, without it, do you think I would dare trouble you, sister! Now that you have no protection of array light, even though your cultivation is high, your time is up. If you recklessly use your power, you will only die faster. Hehe, sister, now you must die, attack!"
With a wave of the scaly woman’s hand, more than a hundred Void Fragmentation female cultivators charged at the woman in palace attire with killing intent.
The woman in palace attire attempted to form seals and cast spells to resist, but once again a sharp pain stabbed her chest, causing her to cough up blood, her eyes filled with despair.
"The Blood Slave Garden, this time, will likely see severe casualties..."
Yes, she would die, all these hundred-plus Void Fragmentation female cultivators would enter the secret ground, and all would die.
It was her incompetence as the palace master that led to this situation today.
"Palace Master!"
A familiar female voice suddenly reached the ears of the woman in palace attire.
She incredulously turned her gaze to the side, only to see a golden sword light speeding towards her from afar.
Within that golden light, there was a stranger in white clothes and a familiar red-haired woman.
It was the long-missing No. 431...
"Sister you..." She had so many questions she wanted to ask the Red-Haired Cauldron.
For example, where had she been all these decades.
And also, how she dared to bring an outsider man into the Blood Slave Garden.
Could it be she didn’t know that this was against the ancestral rules.
Without a chance to speak, the golden sword light had already blocked more than a hundred Void Fragmentation female cultivators in front.
"A man!"
All six nations of Void Fragmentation were stunned, they never expected a man to appear in the Blood Slave Garden!
Inside the Blood Slave Palace, countless female cultivators also watched in disbelief at the young man in white; they had never seen a man in their entire lives!
"Take this pill and give it to your Palace Master, to keep her alive. These Cauldrons, I will accept them."
Ning Fan handed a pill to the Red-Haired Cauldron and instructed her to lower the Blood Slave Palace.
Glancing over at the hundred Shattered Void Cauldrons in front of him, his eyes cold and indifferent.
Cauldron Furnace!
These Flower Demons were all top-grade Cauldrons in his eyes!
"Humph! This man seems to be an accomplice of No. 1, kill him!" The scaly-armored beautiful woman ordered coldly.
Before the hundred Void Fragmentation female cultivators had a chance to act against Ning Fan, Ning Fan had already made his move first!
With a step, he transformed into black robes, his gaze turning even more cold and ruthless.
Raising his hand, Soul Extraction and Soul Devouring, his cultivation had nearly reached the level of an Immortal!
At this moment, Ning Fan was stronger than the Master of the Blood Slave Palace.
And all his techniques were especially effective against female cultivators!
"Yin Imprisoning Rope!"
The black-robed Ning Fan waved his massive hand, and hundreds of Yin Imprisoning Ropes, like silver snakes, flew out from his sleeve, heading towards each Void Fragmentation female cultivator.
At this moment, Ning Fan’s cultivation level far surpassed all the female cultivators present!
His Yin Imprisoning Rope, unless it was a female Fate Immortal, no one could escape it!
Tie! Tie! Tie!
One by one, the Void Fragmentation female cultivators were bound by the Yin Imprisoning Rope and mercilessly thrown by Ning Fan onto the ground outside the Blood Slave Palace.
Whether it was the First Fragmentation or the Second, even the Fifth and Sixth Fragmentations willingly accepted the binding!
The black-armored beautiful woman was scared, and she turned to flee, but was caught by Ning Fan with one rope and still on the ground.
The scaly-armored beautiful woman was scared half to death; Ning Fan’s current cultivation was comparable to an Immortal, but his battle power against female cultivators was almost equal to a Fate Immortal!
Restraint, a deathly restraint, left no power to resist!
She gritted her teeth and took out an Array Plate, hoping to teleport and escape, but Ning Fan crushed the Array Plate with a flick of his hand.
With another flick, he bound her and carried her like a chicken.
Putting away the Ancient Golden Sword, Ning Fan landed on the ground, his eyes faintly sweeping over the female cultivators present, finally settling on the face of the palace-clad woman.
"You are not the Master of the Blood Slave Garden, releasing them, you have no right to harvest them!" the palace-clad woman rebuked sternly.
She wasn’t a fool; how could she not see that Ning Fan was an enemy, not a friend.
Even if he saved the Blood Slave Palace, it was definitely not out of good intentions!
"Interesting... what if I become the Master of the Blood Slave Garden?"
"If you became the Master of the Blood Slave Garden, naturally, you could harvest all the Cauldrons here! We were born to serve as Cauldrons for the master!"
"As you wish."
Ning Fan casually tossed the scaly-armored beautiful woman on the ground, instructing the Red-Haired Cauldron beside him, "Have your Blood Slave Palace people keep a watch on these rebels, and as for you..."
Ning Fan turned his gaze to the palace-clad woman, managing a rare smile,
"Take me to the secret place, and I will find the letter and become your Master of the Blood Slave Garden."
He admired women with backbone.
