“This is my world!” As the Blood Woman’s cold voice echoed, she appeared above the group of pegasus. She stomped hard underneath her, causing the void to collapse abruptly, forming a destructive force that engulfed all the remaining heavenly horses.

There were chilling screams of horror and despair.

“Blood woman, you are damned!” The Heavenly Horse King roared in fury. In what appeared to be as fast as instant teleportation, he was by Blood Woman’s side, aiming his solitary horn towards her.

This strike forced the Blood Woman to evade. She vanished once again. In the next moment, she reappeared at the base of Thunder Mountain. She struck a blow that smashed through the outside barrier of Thunder Power, leaving a mark on the mountain itself.

Terrible power propagated inward, directly causing Thunder Mountain to split into pieces, the thunderous light dying out. It fell downward, being enveloped and swallowed by the blood water.

“How can you be so strong?” Lei San was terrified and roared again, “You two, will you not fight back? Do you wish to die here?”

As his voice ended, a mass of Sword Qi appeared around him, blocking the attack from the Blood Woman.

The eyes of the Heavenly Horse King were utterly blood-red. From his single horn, a series of bright chains gushed out, breaking all the projected shadow chains in the void, then aiming towards the Blood Woman. The pure Power of Purification made the Blood Woman retreat slightly.

“We brothers just happened to pass by this place, but we were dragged into this slaughter. What unfortunate timing!” Heavenly Snake complained and then joined the fight.

Given the current situation, they understood that they had to participate in the skirmish.

Otherwise, if Lei San and the others are killed, there is a high probability they

will not survive either.

“Then let’s fight!” The mighty warrior of the Green Kru Clan also took action.

In an instant, the four besieged the Blood Woman.

Jiang Ming was forced to retreat.

He had just witnessed the Blood Woman treading on the heavenly horses, shattering Thunder Mountain. It seemed effortless, yet her aura fluctuated violently.

The colour of the blood lake below even faded a bit.

At this moment, the erupting battle shook heaven and earth.

The fluctuating aura they emitted gave him a feeling of being crushed.

“I wonder who will win?” Jiang Ming pondered. He took one deep glance, dived

into the blood lake, his energy changed.

The True Meaning of Death enveloped him, and he easily merged into it.

The chill, the deathly silence, the coldness, the decay, the deterioration, the darkness, and other energies attacked him. However, they were blocked by the True Meaning of Death surrounding him, presenting a sense of dust merging with light.

However, the waves stirred up by the power transmitted from above were also incredibly scary.

The True Qi outside his body was continuously being eroded.

“Is the Blood Lake nurturing the Blood Woman, or did the Blood Woman create the Blood Lake?” Jiang Ming thought while beginning to look for Ye Bai and the others.

The sea of blood churned, containing endless destructive forces.

The power seeping down from above was even more terrifying.

If it weren’t for the powerful of the Seventh Realm, they would have probably lost their lives due to the effect of the powers above.

At the moment, he couldn’t sense any living entities in this blood lake.

Even Death Creatures were missing.

“Did they all die?” Jiang Ming’s heart was sinking.

He pushed his power, moving rapidly.

There was a flash of light in front of him.

That was the force of the Holy Heart, mixed with Chen Bei’s aura. Jiang Ming was delighted and flew over quickly.

Soon, he was nearby.

“Jiang Ming!” The Holy Heart’s voice was filled with joy.

“I knew you would be fine!” Chen Bei’s voice also reached him.

Jiang Ming broke into a smile.

At this point, the crystal ball that originally swallowed the Holy Heart was surrounding them, with Chen Bei’s aura mixed in it.

However, with the waves of the blood lake, the light was very dim now.

Through the white light, a portal opened. Jiang Ming walked in.

“I’m glad everyone is fine!” Seeing everyone present, Jiang Ming let out a sigh

of relief.

Holy Heart, Chen Bei, Wang Qiutong, Ye Bai, Liu Ruyan.

No one was missing.

“Jiang Ming, what’s happening outside?” Wang Qiutong asked, “Not long after you went to Chen Bei’s side, blood gushed out from the ground. In a flash, the Black Mountain was covered in blood, and we were all affected before we could escape!”

She shivered as she recalled the situation.

The sea of blood spread, creating monstrous waves.

Inside, there were numerous death creatures – skeletons, resentful spirits, rotting corpses, and more – they were drawn to their presence and swarmed in. Among them were beings from the Eighth Realm.

And even from the Ninth Realm.

Fortunately, they were powerful enough to resist, searching for an escape route, but were unable to break out.

As several beings from the Ninth Realm approached, their resistance became exceedingly difficult.

“We were in the sea of blood, with all advantages against us. Had it not been for Miss Holy Heart, we would have been finished. Even so, the danger was ever­present. Thankfully, Chen Bei arrived in time, giving us a chance to catch our breath!” Wang Qiutong recounted the situation, a trace of fear still lingering.

Things had become somewhat easier after Chen Bei’s arrival.

However, a woman in red soon approached them. Her overwhelming aura was enough to change their expressions.

For some reason, she did not attack directly. Instead, she commanded hordes of death creatures to assault them.

“I used the Bright Pearl to defend us, but it wasn’t enough.” Holy Heart continued, “I hadn’t fully recovered and could only use a fraction of my power. Otherwise… hmph!”

She was slightly haughty.

Liu Ruyan smiled lightly: “Chen Bei formed a Pocket World Projection on the Bright Pearl, enhancing its power, barely holding off the enemy.

Soon after, the red-clad woman disappeared.

The death creatures attacking them also dispersed.

“I saw them merging into a massive being, then setting out to kill.” Wang Qiutong licked her lips, “They were powerful, extremely powerful. Miss Holy„ Heart said their power reached the Tenth Realm, a fact Chen Bei agreed with.” “Their power level was definitely at the Tenth Realm. If they targeted us…” Chen Bei shook his head.

Shortly afterwards, they could feel terrifying fluctuations coming from above. Although no attacks landed on them, the transmitted force still made their defense extremely challenging.

Especially just now, it had become even more terrifying.

“You are really lucky!” Jiang Ming exclaimed, “The red-clad woman, known as the Blood Woman, seemed to have no intent to kill you. Otherwise, you would not be alive now. She’s at the peak of the Tenth Realm, even half a step into the Eleventh Realm.”

Chen Bei and the others paled.

Jiang Ming then relayed the situation above to them.

“The Blood Woman rode upon a Pegasus and cracked the Divine Mountain, then faced a four-way attack from Tenth Realm powerhouses?” Even Holy Heart was immensely shocked, “Why did so many strong fighters appear?” “Two of them that arrived later were from the Green Kru Clan and the Heavenly Snake Clan.” Jiang Ming paused in thought before sharing his speculation, “On the Blue Star, I’ve killed quite a few people from the Green Kru Clan. Yet, a being of the Tenth Realm from the clan is here. I suspect they are targeting XuanhuangCity!”

“Targeting us then…” Wang Qiutong’s color drained, “Sky Martial City, Xuanhuang City, the starry sky above Blue Star… If they truly are targeting us, I fear…”

She didn’t continue speaking, but her implications were clear.

If her speculation was true, the human territory would soon face a Great Catastrophe.

Jiang Ming suddenly thought of Hong Xuanji, who seemed incredibly composed.

But if Tenth Realm powerhouses had come here for reconnaissance, the situation did not look good.

“Holy Heart!” An idea suddenly struck Jiang Ming, “Whether it’s Lei San, the Heavenly Horse King or the Blood Woman, they’re all Tenth Realm beings. Why weren’t their cultivation levels diminished? I thought powers from the Ninth Realm and above would be suppressed in the Lost Land!”

All the beings he had encountered who were above the Ninth Realm had their powers unaffected.

That could be explained on Black Mountain, since the World Stone was interfering.

But what about Thunder Mountain, the Heavenly Horse King, and the Blood Woman?

It couldn’t be that they all have World Stones, right?

If the Green Kru Clan member and the Heavenly Snake who appeared later were also aided by World Stones, it would be far-fetched.

“My power wasn’t suppressed either!” Chen Bei said, puzzled.

“You don’t know?” Holy Heart looked slightly surprised, then smiled „ knowingly, “I understand now, it’s a trick by your human high ranks!” “A trick by our human high ranks?” Jiang Ming was surprised and more confused.

Wang Qiutong and several others felt the same way.

But before Holy Heart could explain further, a sword slash tore through the Blood Lake and descended, directly blasting through the Bright Pearl protecting everyone.

Jiang Ming’s pupils contracted, and without thinking, he threw a punch.
