C1152 Primal Blood Continent!

The Great Demon God Grec has successfully completed the resurrection ceremony!

Here lies the ancestral land of the Blood Fiend, the Primal Blood Continent!

The Primal Blood Continent is a place teeming with the Blood Fiend, nestled within the vast expanse of the Star River. It is the birthplace of their race.

Witnessing Grec's radiant smile and the aura of integrity that surrounded him, everyone remained silent.

They had all witnessed the scene within the Lunarphite's underground space, where numerous Blood Fiend elders held living hearts, channeling streams of refined blood into the Titan's chest cavity. Yet, they saw nothing beyond that scene, which prevented them from connecting it with the Primal Blood Continent.

Tan Junshan and Chen Qinghuang both believed that the location was merely another forbidden area.

How could the Great Demon God Grec risk conducting the most crucial part of his resurrection on the Primal Blood Continent?

Was he not concerned that his kin, those who opposed and despised him, wishing for his true demise, would conspire against him?

After all, should Grec truly perish, the resources under his control would be swiftly divided among others.

Perhaps another powerful contender, already eyeing the Patriarch's seat, could seize the opportunity to break through the bloodline's limits and emerge as a new Great Demon God.

Tan Junshan, having traveled extensively through numerous Astral Domains in the extraterrestrial realms, had a profound understanding of the secrets of various races.

He knew that at least three Blood Fiend elders were defiant of Grec's authority, engaging in clandestine struggles against him.

Among them was Munch, who had lived for ten thousand years.

Munch was the sibling of the previous Blood Fiend patriarch.

He had never been content with Grec, having attempted to thwart his ascension to the Patriarch's throne multiple times.

Munch had anticipated becoming the new patriarch, but Grec's birth and the existence of the Altar of Rebirth led the clan's powerful families to designate Grec as the beacon of hope for the Blood Fiend's resurgence, compelling Munch to acknowledge Grec's status.

As a result, Munch never truly accepted Grec's leadership, seldom returning to the Primal Blood Continent and outright ignoring Grec's summons.

Could it be that Munch secretly wished for Grec's death, so he could take his place?

Tan Junshan furrowed his brow as his distrustful gaze swept over the elders of the Blood Fiend Clan.

Knox, Quealy, Affo, Munch...

When Tan Junshan's eyes landed on Munch, who stood atop a shattered peak far from the Titan, his mood grew even heavier, and a bitter smile crept onto his face.

He wasn't alone in his gloom; the Golden Elephant God, the King of Wraiths, and Chen Qinghuang also wore somber expressions.

Munch, towering in stature, stood upon the mountain, with blood-colored shadows undulating behind him.

Each shadow, brimming with robust vitality, displayed a variety of astonishing phenomena. Some shadows devoured the sun and moon, others molded flesh, transforming into ancient demons and deities, while some cackled eerily, as if divulging the mysteries of their lineage.

Tan Junshan knew all too well that each of these vibrant blood shadows was a blood bound slave refined by Munch.

Over tens of thousands of years, Munch had vanquished a multitude of formidable foes. Those he could refine into his most powerful blood bound slaves were certainly no ordinary beings. Their presence and the marvels they exhibited suggested that their combat prowess was not far behind Munch's own.

Such a Munch was indeed a source of terror.

Tan Junshan even suspected that if Grec were not a tenth-level Demon God but shared Munch's ninth-level bloodline, Grec might not be a match for Munch.

The blood bound slaves Munch had created were so ferociously strong that they filled Tan Junshan with trepidation.

For millennia, Munch had led the Blood Fiend Clan, slaughtering countless archdemons from Shadow's Keep.

Any formidable being from Shadow's Keep whose movements he could track, and whom he believed he could overpower, would be challenged by him.

He seemed to harbor a particular animosity toward the archdemons of Shadow's Keep, who, in turn, saw him as a constant pain in their side.

"It seems Grec has already won over all the elders, Munch included," observed the King of Wraiths from the Devil Palace. After surveying the scene, he sighed softly, realizing that this venture might be the most challenging of his life.

"Indeed, the key resurrection ceremony taking place on the Primal Blood Continent suggests his conviction that all the elders and clansmen of the Blood Fiend genuinely adore him. They all wish for his revival, to see him lead the Blood Fiend Clan onward," the Golden Elephant God acknowledged with a slow nod.

Based on the current state of affairs, it's clear that despite any past grievances or conflicts with the elders, Grec has now earned the unanimous support of all the clan members.

The Blood Fiend Clan's elders wholeheartedly wish for Grec to continue living and to lead them as their chieftain.

This is precisely why he selected the Primal Blood Continent for his crucial resurrection ceremony, conducted under the watchful eyes of many elders.

"Hehe."

With a sunny and infectious smile, the youthful Grec pointed at the blood-stained Yu Zhu and declared, "Your Demon Heart carries my essence."

As he spoke, a spark of excitement shone in the eyes of the Blood Fiend Clan elders.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

The sound of Yu Zhu's heartbeat was as clear and rhythmic as a drum.

"The first one who came in also bore my essence, and he's even more exceptional," mused Grec, stroking his chin. "I blame my own foolishness for not stopping him right away, allowing him to get away. His Heart Aperture contains an Altar of Rebirth. If I could assimilate it, I'd grow in strength swiftly."

Grec, freshly resurrected, lacked any memories of Yu Yuan, leaving him unaware of Yu Yuan's history.

Only when he travels to the Annihilation Nebula and integrates the remnants of his other self's memories and thoughts will he regain full recollection of all events and truly become the rightful chieftain of the Blood Fiend Clan.

Scratching his head, Grec expressed his regret to the Blood Fiend elders, "I've let you down."

The ancient Blood Fiend elders, cradling the vibrant hearts in their hands, reassured Grec with affectionate looks, assuring him all was well, Munch included.

It was evident that these elders genuinely adored the young Grec, who was naturally simple, courteous, and radiated positivity and a fierce sense of justice.

"Grec, these vile goasts have trespassed into our realm and massacred our people. Their deaths are well deserved," stated the diminutive Affo, setting aside his withered, blackened heart. He adjusted his attire and spoke with a grave and dignified tone, "Our clan's glory must be cleansed with their blood."

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

Scores of Blood Fiend clansmen converged from every direction, nearly engulfing the blood-hued sky.

"Kill them!"

"Let their blood aid our patriarch's rise to power!"

"Those who dare invade the Primal Blood Continent shall never return home!"

The dark red heavens and the wall of the same hue appeared to flow with blood.

The force that balanced against the blood of all creatures caused great discomfort to the Golden Elephant God, Yu Zhu, and the archdemons of Shadow's Keep, as if their demon blood had turned sluggish with lead.

The archdemons of Shadow's Keep's faces turned ashen as despair took hold.

Even Chen Qinghuang, who had refined her unique Solar Spirit Body, felt the constraints of the Way of Heaven.

Her Solar Spirit, much like Yu Yuan's, was a fusion of soul and blood.

On the Primal Blood Continent, under the Blood Fiend Clan's strange rules and the influence of the wall, she too felt out of place.

"Master..."

Yu Yiyi, having transformed the Crucible of Evil into an armor of exquisite patterns and ancient presence, steadily formed a massive ice spike in her palm, ready for a blood-soaked battle.

Her gaze fell upon the grey-white groove nearby, her eyes gradually brightening.

Yu Zhu's demon soul trembled, sending a covert soul whisper across the spatial layers, "Don't come back!"

In that moment, the Golden Elephant God, King of Wraiths, Tan Junshan, Chen Qinghuang, and others felt a connection.

"Hmm?"

Even Munch, the elder of the Blood Fiend Clan, raised an eyebrow and arrived in a flash.

Blood-colored silhouettes, akin to a Buddha's halo, and divine spirit items manifested silently, joining him in observing the groove where space magic roiled.

The image within the groove, that of the Dragon Slaying Stage, sharpened from a blur.

This signified that the vast distances of space were being bridged by the Dragon Slaying Stage, drawing it ever closer to the Primal Blood Continent.
