Chapter 1204: A Bloody Battle

Translator: Larbre Studio Editor: Larbre Studio

A huge battle erupted in Mo You Valley.

Whoosh, whoosh.

The Saints of the Blood God Sect used physical techniques to scatter instantly. They appeared in all directions of Mo You Valley, taking the most advantageous locations.

Night fell. An ivory moon appeared in the sky.

The Ancient Snow Mountain turned even colder. Chilly wind came from the sky, pouring onto the ground with beastly roars.

Rustles sounded in the miles-wide peach forest of Mo You Valley. Peach blossoms fell down like red rain, flying between the red buildings.

The Hierarch Madame sat in the peach forest. Her red robe spilled on the ground like a red cushion. Looking at the flower rain, she was calm. Her beautiful eyes glittered.

Zhen Yin and Fan Yin stood tall behind her, sketching curvy silhouettes.

The blossoms were beautiful; the people were even more beautiful.

Suddenly, Zhen Yin felt a murderous Qi from outside the valley. Her heart jumped. Eyes shining with dazzling light, she looked toward the sky.

Her expression changed as she stepped forward. “Master…”

The Hierarch Madame clearly sensed the situation outside the valley already. As soon as Zhen Yin spoke, she said, “Why are you panicking? I’ve been waiting for them. Since they’ve attacked first, none of them should dream about leaving alive.”

Thinking of her master’s powerful cultivation, Zhen Yin calmed down.

The other Saints in Mo You Valley also sensed danger arriving. They rushed out, appearing behind the Hierarch Madame, waiting diligently.

There were five Saint Elders of the Blood God Sect outside Mo You Valley: Yuan Xing, Yuan Zhou, Yuan Dian, Yuan Hu, and Yuan Quan. They wore loose blood robes and stood in the white wilderness.

An ancient purple tripod stood in the center of the five. It was 30 feet tall. It had four feet and two handles and was covered in dragon scale images.

This was the Ten Thousand-pattern Saint Weapon, the Shocking Dragon Pattern Tripod.

“Rise,” Elder Yuan Xing roared. He activated his Holy Qi first to pour into the ancient tripod.

Following him, the four other Saint Elders also sent out a pillar of Holy Qi into the tripod. Various runes appeared on it.

The tripod flew off of the ground. It became even bigger than a mountain. Hovering in the sky, it shone with brighter and brighter purple light.

Instantly, thousands of miles of the sky were covered with purple Qi. Bolts of lightning snaked through it with earsplitting booms.

A Ten Thousand-pattern Saint Weapon’s might was naturally horrifying. Merely the aura repressed all the Saints there.

Sizzle, sizzle.

Thousands of bolts of lightning flew out of the purple cloud. They fell like a sheet of rain and hit the defensive formation above Mo You Valley. Next, the Shocking Dragon Pattern Tripod brought a cloud of purple Qi toward Mo You Valley and plummeted.

Boom.

The entire sky shook. Avalanches occurred within thousands of miles. The snowy peaks closest to Mo You Valley collapsed into flat land.

The power of the Shocking Dragon Pattern Tripod was too terrifying. It couldn’t be stopped by human might. Even the Saints of the Blood God Sect gasped.

Finally, the defensive formation of Mo You Valley was broken. The hallucination shrouding it disappeared too, revealing the valley’s true appearance.

There were no peach trees, blossoms, or pavilions in the valley. There were only buildings created from white bones and blood-red rivers and creeks. The beautiful scenery before were all fantasies created by spells.

Even the cultivators of Mo You valley were shocked. They didn’t think that the place they’d lived and cultivated in was so bloody.

The Hierarch Madame was still calm. Looking at the Shocking Dragon Pattern Tripod hovering in the sky, she said in a pleasant voice, “Deity, you’ve still betrayed me in the end. Do you know the consequences?”

Her voice traveled hundreds of miles.

“I was never loyal to you,” Zhang Ruochen said. “How can I betray you? Plus, you work for the Immortal Vampires. You are the enemy of humankind. Everyone will try to kill you.”

The Hierarch Madame stood up beside the blood-red river. Her figure was slender and her skin was as white as jade. Her spirited eyes shone with cold light. “Everyone will try to kill me? But you people are not my opponent at all. All Saints of the Blood God Sect, listen to me. You can still retreat now. If you surrender, I will let you go.”

“Madame,” Elder Yuan Xing said. “No matter how advanced your cultivation is, you cannot stop the Shocking Dragon Pattern Tripod.”

“Really?” The Madame sneered. “Elder Yuan Quan, are you still not going to attack?”

Elder Yuan Quan was an old woman with snowy hair. She was very low-key among the five Saint Elders and rarely ever spoke.

However, at that moment, her eyes turned dark red. She attacked the four other Saint Elders with the fastest speed and without warning. In that moment, all four Saint Elders were thrown out, heavily injured.

Elder Yuan Quan didn’t stop. She continued to attack.

Poof, poof.

Her fingers doubled in length and sharp claws grew. They stabbed through Elder Yuan Dian’s chest.

Elder Yuan Dian spat out saintly blood. Eyes widening, he said, “You…why did you…”

“There is no why. There is only death if you go against the Madame.”

Elder Yuan Quan’s aged features twisted. She gouged out Elder Yuan Dian’s saintly source. Her hands were covered in red blood that dripped to the ground. Then she slammed forward. Elder Yuan Dian’s saintly corpse fell limply to the ground as a pile of flesh.

The remaining three Saint Elders—Yuan Xing, Yuan Zhou, and Yuan Hu—were all furious at this sight. They climbed back up.

Elder Yuan Quan stared coldly at them. Controlling the Shocking Dragon Pattern Tripod, she sent it at them.

“You two, retreat!” Elder Yuan Hu roared. He rushed out willingly, activating a God-connecting Technique. All his saintly blood burned and he unleashed ten times his cultivation as he crashed against the tripod.

Kaboom.

Elder Yuan Hu blocked the tripod’s attack, but his saintly body was broken even more. His injuries worsened.

Elder Yuan Xing and Yuan Zhou had fled to the distance. They looked back to see Elder Yuan Hu pick up the tripod. He transformed into a purple electric cloud and charged at Mo You Valley.

Right now, Elder Yuan Hu was completely risking his life. Not only was he trying to win more time for Elder Yuan Xing and Yuan Zhou to retreat, he also wanted to turn the tides by killing the Hierarch Madame.

Seeing the incoming purple electricity, Elder Yuan Quan was frightened too. She didn’t dare go against Elder Yuan Hu who was risking his life. Using a physical technique, she hid to the left as a streak of light.

“Where are you fleeing to? Die!”

Elder Yuan Hu sent out the tripod to kill her.

Crackle.

Elder Yuan Quan couldn’t escape. She was sent flying by the tripod and dense bloody cracks appeared on her body like spider webs.

Immediately following, Elder Yuan Hu attacked a second time. The tripod hit Elder Yuan Quan again, destroying her immediately.

In a few breaths’ time, two Saint Elders had died.

The battle situation had changed so quickly that the Saints present couldn’t even process everything.

Elder Yuan Hu was clear that his injuries were very grave and had forcefully used the God-connecting Technique. He could never heal again. Even if he somehow didn’t die today, he would only have a few more years to live.

Even so, he still had to take another risk while he was still at his peak state.

“Fight.”

All his hair stood up straight. He grabbed the tripod in both hands and unleashed the last attack before death.

This attack used up all of his Holy Qi. It overlapped with the Shocking Dragon Pattern Tripod and crushed down on the Hierarch Madame.

As long as she was killed, the other enemies would be nothing to be afraid of.

Elder Yuan Hu, who’d used the God-connecting Technique, had unleashed ten times his own cultivation’s power. Adding on the full power of his last attempt before death, this attack was even more terrifying.

He was confident that he could kill the Hierarch Madame.

When the Shocking Dragon Pattern Tripod plummeted, all the cultivators of Mo You Valley fell to the ground, unable to move in fear. Even Saints like Zhen Yin and Fan Yin were no exception.

Only the Hierarch Madame remained standing beside the river of blood. She lifted her eyes and reached out a pale jade-like hand. It transformed into a handprint that stretched for dozens of miles.

Elder Yuan Hu’s desperate attack fell into the palm and only created a few ripples.

“No…” Elder Yuan Hu cried tragically, unable to accept this.

Sizzle, sizzle.

He’d used up all his power. In the flames, his body was slowly turned to dust. Only a translucent saintly source fell to the ground.

All the terrifying power dissipated.

The Hierarch Madame slowly put her hand away. The Shocking Dragon Pattern Tripod shrunk to the size of her fist. It was delicate as it floated above her palm.

“I told you that you aren’t my opponent,” she said indifferently. “You just wouldn’t listen.”

The Saints of the Blood God Sect were all shocked. They held their breath, too scared to even breathe.

This was terrifying!

The Hierarch Madame now had the Shocking Dragon Pattern Tripod. This was like a tiger gaining supernatural powers. Who could fight against her now?

“Submit or die, it is time for you to decide now.” The Hierarch Madame’s disdainful eyes turned to the Blood God Sect Saints around Mo You Valley.
