Chapter 393: Divine Blood Awakens

Inside the ancient divine city, the Hengyu Cauldron blazed with light. Blood-red mist, steaming clouds, and shimmering colors filled the air, as the sacred radiance of Phoenix Blood Red Gold enveloped the entire grand city.

In the sky above, the Night Monarch suffered a significant setback, stunned by the Peerless Divine King's power. His body trembled violently as he spat out a mouthful of silver blood that splattered across the city.

*Bang!* Below, a vast section of magnificent palaces shattered and collapsed with a thud as the drops of blood fell, revealing how terrifying the attack was.

"That's... silver blood!" "Why is his blood silver?" The people in the divine city were shocked. The Night Monarch was so terrifying—was he a deity? It was merely a mouthful of blood falling naturally, without any infused divine power, yet it pierced through a vast area of palaces, turning them to dust.

What kind of power was contained within his blood? The silver blood was exceptionally striking, leaving everyone bewildered and uncertain. No one seemed to understand what kind of physique this was; they had never heard of it.

*Hum!* The void, like a scroll, was ripped apart by the Night Monarch and the Peerless Divine King. It trembled violently as the power of the Grand Dao laws shattered and pierced through everything.

The divine city, which had stood immortal for years, was shaking and threatened to collapse at any moment. No one could possibly imagine the true nature of the battle raging between the two kings high in the sky.

This kind of duel was mind-boggling; the mere aftershocks sent shivers down people's spines, let alone the actual clash in the night sky.

*Rumble!* Suddenly, a colossal divine image appeared in the sky, like a primordial god of creation, majestic and inviolable, gazing down upon all living beings.

"What is that creature?" In the divine city, few people could remain standing. Those with weaker cultivation couldn't even look directly at the sky, and even the powerful elders couldn't maintain their composure.

"The Lord of Night, reigning over the earth—this is the Night Monarch's phenomenon!" Finally, someone recalled old legends and recognized the majestic deity.

The colossal figure filled the sky above the divine city. One enormous hand descending was enough to cover the vast ancient city!

"How can one person's phenomenon be so enormous, even transforming into a deity? This is too terrifying..."

Everyone was stunned, feeling an unspeakable, terrifying pressure as the colossal deity gazed down upon them, like ants looking up at a god.

Everyone's face turned pale, and they trembled uncontrollably. This was an innate suppression, a primal fear emanating from their very souls.

*Boom!* The deity seemed capable of creating heaven and earth. One immense hand stretched out, covering the entire divine city, blotting out the starry sky. The heavens trembled, threatening to crack!

"Jiang Taixu, what good is it even if you've made a breakthrough? Your lifespan is withered, your body depleted—what will you use to fight me?!" The deity standing between heaven and earth spoke, its colossal voice like thunder descending, causing many palaces to collapse instantly.

In the ancient city, almost everyone experienced ringing in their ears and swayed unsteadily, many even spitting up blood from the shock.

The Night Monarch was so powerful that confronting him as an enemy truly evoked despair. How could he possibly be defeated?

The immense hand stretched across the sky, literally overshadowing it. In an instant, a suffocating aura permeated every inch of space, causing everyone to tremble with fear.

*Boom!* The deity's boundless hand seized the Peerless Divine King, trapping him within its grasp. This scene was finally witnessed by those below.

"Divine King Ancestor!" "Our Old Ancestor!" The Jiang family cried out in anxious desperation, their eyes wide with fury. Even if the Divine King was unparalleled, he had only just been resurrected, and fighting a peerless monarch meant he was already at a disadvantage.

At this moment, with the Night Monarch displaying such a world-shaking phenomenon, who could possibly resist? Even if the Divine King were unharmed, he might not be able to withstand what was coming.

"The Twin Kings are invincible, peerless throughout the world! Jiang Taixu, I shall send you on your way!" The terrifying deity's voice roared like a tsunami, connecting heaven and earth, as if reverberating from the highest heavens.

The heavenly sound of the Grand Dao resounded, seemingly tearing through time and space from ancient eras. The massive deity's fingertips shone dazzlingly, as if engulfed in endless blazing fire.

He intended to sacrifice the Divine King alive, to erase him permanently from the world. Various Grand Dao laws streaked across the night sky, converging into a single point within the enormous hand.

Everyone was stunned. This deity's emergence was truly unparalleled in the world. Who could possibly contend with it?

The Peerless Divine King, trapped in its grasp, could not break free and was subjected to the endless grinding of Grand Dao laws, his life hanging by a thread.

"Divine King Ancestor!" The Jiang family roared, about to activate the Ancient Sky-Swallowing Demonic Jar and unleash it into the endless void. However, seven Saint Lord-level figures appeared simultaneously, all sneering, ready to seize this half of an ultimate holy weapon.

Having finally witnessed Jiang Taixu's suppression, they wanted no further complications. If the Peerless Divine King wasn't eliminated, they would surely face their demise.

*Pop!* Suddenly, a soft sound echoed in the night sky. The colossal deity trembled violently, its massive palm pierced through, forming a bloody hole.

"Jiang Taixu!" the Night Monarch roared. His massive hand grew even more resplendent, and the bloody hole swiftly vanished, leaving it perfectly restored.

*Pop!* But the soft sound echoed again, and the deity's massive hand began to burst open like dazzling fireworks, constantly splattering blood and creating one bloody hole after another.

The massive hand could not close, pierced by streaks of soaring sword light. The power of various laws and order could not stop it!

*Poof!* With a final soft sound, the Peerless Divine King broke free, his white robes unblemished and spotless. He stood quietly in the void, having transformed himself into a peerless divine sword to cut through the deity's colossal hand and emerge.

"Combat Saint Method?!" the Night Monarch said coldly. "Unfortunately, you are at the end of your tether; your realm cannot be fully unleashed!"

"Quick, revive the holy cauldron and break free from the entanglement of that other Great Emperor's holy weapon!" The Jiang family cried out anxiously.

Jiang Taixu was a heaven-defying Divine King, but unfortunately, he had only just been resurrected. Contending with such a formidable enemy meant his prospects were bleak, and the Jiang family couldn't help but be anxious.

"It won't budge!" The elders controlling the Hengyu Cauldron exclaimed in terror. They simply couldn't shake off the other Imperial Weapon.

"The Night Monarch has grand designs, he wants our clan's holy cauldron..." The elders' expressions were filled with anxiety.

The Night Monarch had arrived with an ancient Great Emperor's holy weapon to confront the Hengyu Holy Cauldron. His goal was to open a path for the other Saint Lord-level figures to enter the underground palace and kill the Divine King.

In this process, he exerted all his effort to control the other Great Emperor's holy weapon, holding back the Hengyu Divine Cauldron, and even inscribed astonishing Great Emperor array patterns.

Not long ago, he had finally finished imprinting the innate patterns, creating a supreme divine array. This array, combined with the ancient Great Emperor's holy weapon, was meant to seize the Hengyu Cauldron.

If Ye Fan hadn't deployed the Lihuo Divine Cauldron, he likely would have succeeded. Although the Hengyu Cauldron now held the absolute upper hand, it still couldn't escape the entanglement.

With a thought, Ye Fan tried to connect with the Lihuo Divine Cauldron, urging it to unleash even greater power.

*Rumble...* Divine fire raged. Once activated, the Lihuo Divine Cauldron emitted incredibly terrifying fluctuations. Nine divine birds soared forth, and a blazing sun appeared, hanging in the sky.

"This is..." Ye Fan was greatly astonished. Normally, this cauldron could never possess such world-shaking power, yet at this moment, it was terrifyingly potent, almost comparable to a Great Emperor's holy weapon.

"What's happening?" The Jiang family members were also dumbfounded.

"I know! This is the supreme treasure our Jiang family lost countless ages ago; I can't believe it has finally appeared!" The powerful expert Jiang Yun's eyes shone with a peculiar brilliance.

"Years ago, the Divine King Ancestor learned of its whereabouts and disappeared while searching for it," the Ninth Great Bandit Jiang Yi also sighed.

Ye Fan felt his mind clear and used his powerful spiritual sense to control the cauldron, urging it to unleash even more astonishing power.

"These are truly Great Emperor's laws and array patterns!" All seven Saint Lord-level figures were startled, but stopping it was utterly impossible.

People were surprised to discover nine divine rainbows connecting the Lihuo Divine Cauldron to Ye Fan, and nine ancient characters on its lid glowed with crimson light.

The connection between the two could not be severed; they seemed to have become a single entity. The seven Saint Lords tried several times but failed each time.

"The nine ancient characters are Emperor script!"

Each ancient character emanated the aura of the Grand Dao, profoundly mysterious, as if beckoning one's mind to be drawn into it.

*Boom!* The Lihuo Divine Cauldron unleashed waves that surged in all directions. Extremely profound array patterns formed naturally, imprinting themselves onto the void.

Ye Fan was surprised to discover that none of this was directly conjured by him; he had merely acted as a catalyst.

All of this was due to the presence of the Hengyu Cauldron. The moment the Lihuo Divine Cauldron drew near, it seemed to awaken, as if imbued with life.

The Lihuo Divine Cauldron acted like a primordial Great Emperor's divine array, quickly sealing the innate patterns carved by the Night Monarch. The Hengyu Cauldron, in turn, became even more terrifying, its power surging, poised to suppress the other Great Emperor's holy weapon.

"What a pity, what a lamentable miss! I've lost the Hengyu Holy Cauldron!" High in the sky, the Night Monarch seemed filled with endless regret.

"However, I still have time to kill Jiang Taixu!" He had exhausted all means to seize the ancient Great Emperor's holy weapon, but it had all been for naught. Now, he focused solely on attacking the Divine King.

The Night Monarch knew his time was running out. Once the Hengyu Cauldron broke free, his only option would be to retreat. Killing the Peerless Divine King had to happen now.

*Boom!* The sky transformed into an expanse of eternal divine light, boundless and limitless, as if it had pierced through time from the dawn of creation to the present, becoming the sole entity between heaven and earth.

In the divine city, no one would ever forget this day. For them, it was a catastrophe; at least half the people coughed up blood and collapsed.

There was no way to resist this supreme pressure; it bore down like a demonic mountain, an unbearable weight.

The battle between the Night Monarch and the Peerless Divine King escalated to a white-hot intensity. They continuously unleashed the rules of heaven and earth and the order of the Grand Dao, transforming the night sky into a world of pure light.

"Jiang Taixu, you are finished! Your body is withered, your strength exhausted, and you have no divine power to unleash the Grand Dao of heaven and earth. How can you contend with me?" the Night Monarch sneered.

At this moment, the eternal divine light vanished, and the figures of the Central Plains King and the Eastern Wasteland Divine King finally became visible.

The Divine King's Pure Land was breathtakingly beautiful, with a sky full of crystal-clear flower petals raining down. There stood a single divine tree, as gnarled and powerful as a coiled dragon, gently swaying, receiving the baptism of the floral shower.

The Peerless Divine King sat silently cross-legged beneath the ancient tree, his flawless white robes untouched, his eyes closed and unmoving. As the crystal flower petals fell upon him, he appeared as though he had entered a state of serene meditation.

"Jiang Taixu, do you believe the Divine King's Pure Land can stop me?" The Night Monarch's voice was no longer aged; he had reversed time, restoring his body to its peak condition.

People hadn't expected the Night Monarch's appearance to be so youthful and imposing. His black hair cascaded like a waterfall, his sword-like eyebrows extended to his temples, and his eyes were piercingly sharp.

His demeanor was like jade, his aura like a rainbow. He approached step by step, his valiant posture commanding, as if a war god had been resurrected, enveloped in a halo of splendor.

*Rumble!* Suddenly, brilliant divine light erupted from his body. A golden divine robe materialized, covering him and making him appear like a blazing sun in the sky.

His black hair danced wildly, and his face was incredibly handsome, like that of a deity. His golden divine robe blazed like flames, and a golden divine spear appeared in his hand. With a *poof*, he astonishingly pierced through the Divine King's Pure Land.

"How is this possible? The Divine King's Pure Land is rumored to be eternally impregnable! How did the Night Monarch pierce through it?"

The Jiang family, meanwhile, was on the verge of despair. Why was this happening? The Divine King's Pure Land was unparalleled in the world, so why had the Night Monarch pierced through it?!

Inside the Divine King's Pure Land, falling petals resembled tears, fluttering and drifting down around the ancient divine tree. The Peerless Divine King remained silent and motionless, like a statue carved from divine jade, utterly still.

"Has the Divine King passed away?" This was the question on everyone's mind.

"Jiang Taixu, you should understand now. Even if you've been resurrected to your optimal state, you have no chance. I wear the divine robe of an ancient sage, and the divine spear in my hand shares a similar rare origin. Your Divine King's Pure Land cannot stop me!"

The Night Monarch, radiating divine majesty, pointed the tip of his spear at the Peerless Divine King before him.

"Perish!" the Night Monarch roared. His golden divine robe shone with immense brilliance, like a golden sun. He seemed like a deity reborn from flames, holding his golden battle spear and thrusting it forward.

"This is revenge for my elder brother! The Twin Kings are invincible throughout the world!"

*Poof!* Divine blood stained the pure land. The Peerless Divine King's chest was pierced, and blood flowed across the ground beneath the ancient divine tree. Horrifying blossoms of blood appeared on his pristine white robes.

The blood dyed the earth red, seeping into the flowerbeds and saturating the roots of the ancient tree.

The sky was filled with a shower of flower petals, each stained with blood, fluttering and descending to encircle the Peerless Divine King. Yet, he still did not open his eyes.

Although the flower petals drifted down, everything was eerily quiet. Time in this world seemed to have frozen, and the golden battle spear piercing the Divine King's chest became an eternal, haunting image.

"Divine King!" the Jiang family wailed in sorrow.

"The Peerless Divine King is dead!" Everyone in the divine city was stunned.

"Jiang Taixu..." The Night Monarch attempted to lift the Divine King, but suddenly, the Divine King's hand seized the golden battle spear, firmly fixing it in place.

The Peerless Divine King's white robes were stained with blood, yet his eyes remained closed. His jade-like face showed no ripple of emotion, like a deity at rest.

Blood flowed from his wound, glowing with crimson light. Very gently, it crept up the golden battle spear, staining the Night Monarch's hand red.

"Ah..." The Night Monarch cried out, as if he had just discovered something utterly terrifying. He tried to retreat, but found himself firmly pinned.

*Boom!* The Night Monarch, clad in his golden divine robe, suddenly burst into flames, emitting incredibly dazzling light that scorched the entire heaven and earth. He struggled violently.

"The legend is true... the Divine King possesses the blood of a deity! After reaching grand accomplishment, he advances even further, and his divine blood awakens..."

I'm back home now, and my mom won't let me stay up late. There's really nothing I can do; otherwise, she said she'd "suppress" me. Alright then, she's the boss. Chapter two will be released tomorrow at noon, not late at night. Please forgive me.
