Chapter 228: The Fall of the Blood Saint Child

Half of the Blood Saint Child's Soul ascended to heaven, not even leaving behind a scrap of bone.

Violent thunder and lightning struck heavily upon the place where the Blood Saint Child died; even this world felt that the Blood Saint Child was a filthy stain.

Ye Bai and Dahui walked out of the Thunder Pool, and he felt a sense of relief in his heart.

This unkillable cockroach had finally been finished off.

In the deep, pitch-black underground, a complex of buildings lay like a coiled giant dragon, majestic and imposing.

In a corner of this majestic architecture, the Blood Palace was like a crimson flame in the Abyss, scorching the silence of the darkness.

The enormous hall was like an ancient ferocious beast, curled up in this sunless underground, with only that endless blood-red color revealing a Weird and sacred aura.

Inside the Blood Palace, the towering dome was almost endless, inlaid with countless tiny blood-red gemstones, and blood-red skulls were everywhere, revealing the taste of the palace's master.

The pillars of the palace were made of massive blood-red crystals, as if formed from congealed flowing blood, making one shudder, and from time to time, one could hear the wailing and struggling of Souls.

In the center of the palace, an altar made of pure blood crystals emitted a faint red light, covered in ancient and mysterious runes; it is said that these runes contain powerful forces to control life and death and summon the dead.

The Blood Pool is a miniature version of the altar refined according to the runes above.

Through the altar, one can open the Secret Realm where the Blood Legion is located.

A suffocating sense of oppression permeated the air.

Surrounding the altar were several huge pools, the water appearing a deep dark red, like congealed blood.

In the depths of the palace, there was a throne made of blood-red bones.

The person on the throne had scarlet eyes, possessed blood-red hair, and was wrapped in blood-red light.

A blood-red crystal floated above his head, and a steady stream of blood threads was stripped from the crystal, mixing with the Blood Fiend Qi above the man's head to form an illusion of a blood-colored lotus.

Red Knight and a group of the Blood Saint Child's followers knelt down one after another below; they remained motionless, not daring to disturb the Blood Saint Child's cultivation.

At this moment, the Blood Saint Child had already reached the Fourth Rank Peak, only one step away from breaking through to the Fifth Rank.

When that time came, he could launch the Holy War of the Resurrection Society.

With the Blood Saint Child in command of the Blood Legion, he would not lack the strength for a battle.

Suddenly, the illusion of the red lotus vanished abruptly.

The Blood Saint Child's true body suddenly let out a miserable cry, and a mouthful of black blood was spat out from his mouth.

His blood-red pupils were filled with a look of terror.

Red Knight hurriedly stepped forward: "Saint Child, what is wrong, Saint Child!"

The Blood Saint Child rolled his eyes, his whole body twitching violently, his veins bulging all over.

His teeth made a clattering sound.

Red Knight had never seen the Blood Saint Child in such a miserable state.

"Red Knight, go find Elder Feng; only he can save me now. My other part of the Soul has been extinguished."

After saying this, the Blood Saint Child fainted completely.

Upon hearing this, Red Knight acted out of character, shaking the Blood Saint Child while shouting anxiously.

Red blood threads appeared in her palms, and these red blood threads drilled into the Blood Saint Child's body like earthworms.

This was Red Knight's ability, Blood Manipulation.

With the Blood Saint Child having lost consciousness, his body was like an open gateway.

Plus, the power within the Blood Saint Child's body was of the same origin as Red Knight's, so Red Knight entered the Blood Saint Child's sea of consciousness with ease.

She saw that the Blood Saint Child's Soul was disintegrating.

Red Knight waited patiently, like a venomous snake hidden in the shadows.

At an angle where none of the many followers could see, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she thought to herself: "Half of the Blood Saint Child's Soul has been extinguished; without the Elder's help, the Blood Saint Child will likely fall here."

"I don't know how long I have waited for this day."

Red Knight immediately placed the Blood Saint Child onto the Blood Bone Throne with great care.

"I am going to find Elder Feng; you all stay here and watch over His Highness the Blood Saint Child."

"Do not let me catch you making any small moves, otherwise..."

A terrifying pressure erupted from Red Knight's body, and the followers kneeling below all felt as if there were a weight of ten thousand jun on their backs.

Cold sweat poured down them, and they could only press themselves tightly against the ground, not daring to even breathe loudly.

The people prostrate on the ground did not see a trace of blood spill from the corner of the Blood Saint Child's mouth; he had clearly been injured by Red Knight's unscrupulous pressure.

"Watch the Blood Saint Child well; if anything happens to the Blood Saint Child, you will all be buried with him."

Red Knight strode away.

The Resurrection Society has three major Gongdian in total: the Blood Palace, the Spirit Palace, and the Energy Palace, distributed in a triangular formation.

And in the very center is the palace where the four Elders of Wind, Fire, Water, and Earth, as well as the supreme President, cultivate.

Walking out of the Blood Palace, there appeared a winding, secluded path carved from blood-red rock, with dim blue wall lamps on both sides flickering with a dark and Weird light, and from time to time, a wail of a Soul could be heard.

After passing through the long passage, Red Knight saw the four palaces of Wind, Fire, Water, and Earth floating in the sky.

The Storm Palace stood in a desolate place surrounded by endless Gale. The Gale seemed to howl without end, the palace towering high, its spire piercing the clouds, seemingly only a thin line away from the firmament.

Guarding the Storm Palace was a group of Storm Eagles; they were the Guard of the Storm Palace, each possessing the strength of the Fifth Rank.

And the leader of the Storm Eagles possessed the strength of the Seventh Rank.

The Storm Eagle's feathers were long and thin, the feathers were cyan, and there were three feathers wrapped in Gale on its head; it is said that the Storm Eagle uses these three feathers to adjust its flight trajectory.

Its Zhua were like sharp brass knuckles, capable of poking a huge hole even in hard rock.

The Storm Eagle leader flapped its wings and descended from the sky: "Red Knight, you are not serving the Blood Saint Child in the Blood Palace, why have you come here?"

"Elder Feng is in seclusion for cultivation; it is impossible to see you at this time."

Red Knight felt a surge of joy in her heart, then immediately put on a nervous expression: "What is to be done? The Blood Saint Child has run into trouble; half of his Soul has been extinguished for some unknown reason."

"Now, only Elder Feng can save him."

A grave expression appeared on the face of the Storm Eagle leader; the Blood Saint was a crucial link in the Resurrection Society's Three Bodies One Plan, and Elder Feng had given repeated instructions before entering seclusion that the Blood Saint must absolutely not encounter any problems, otherwise, all previous efforts would be wasted.

"How about this, I will send a message to Elder Feng on your behalf; as for whether Elder Feng will see you, I cannot decide that."

The Storm Eagle leader shot out a streak of cyan light that landed inside the Storm Palace.

After waiting for two or three minutes, the Storm Eagle leader suddenly opened his eyes: "Elder Feng wants to see you; go ahead to the Storm Palace."

The Storm Eagle leader gave a light flap of his wings, and a massive mass of wind appeared beneath the Blood Knight's feet.

She lifted into the air and flew toward the Storm Palace.

This was the Storm Eagle's special ability, Storm Manipulation; it could control air currents, allowing Exotic Beasts or humans to possess the temporary ability to fly.

The Gongdian gates were tightly shut, with statues of swirling Gale carved upon them, looking vivid and lifelike.

Just at this moment, a small opening appeared in the Gongdian gates, and the Blood Knight felt a massive suction force strike; her body was involuntarily sucked into the interior of the Gongdian.

The interior of the Gongdian was dim and solemn, with candle flames flickering, casting eerie halos of light.

The walls were inlaid with cyan runes, each one seeming to contain powerful strength, flickering with a faint glow.

In the center was enshrined a massive divine statue with a blurred face, holding the Staff of Storm, appearing as if it could summon the storms of heaven and earth at any moment.

An old man with white hair and a beard was currently floating in the center of the Gongdian.

He was the master of the Storm Palace and also a high-ranking and powerful Elder of the Resurrection Society—Elder Feng.

At this moment, he was scanning the Blood Knight up and down.

"Blood Knight, the Storm Eagle leader just sent me a message; has the Blood Saint met with an accident?"

An aged voice emanated from the old man's mouth.

The Blood Knight hurriedly knelt on one knee.

"Yes, Elder Feng."

"The Blood Saint said that a portion of his Soul has been extinguished, and he had me come find you, Elder, to save his life."

Elder Feng's expression was displeased; ever since this guy became the Blood Saint, he had caused him so much trouble.

He didn't even know how many times he had had to clean up his messes.

"Blood Knight, why do I sense fear and trepidation in your heart?"

Elder Feng suddenly opened his eyes and questioned loudly.

The Blood Knight's heart was as calm as water, without a single ripple; she knew that at this moment, Elder Feng was trying to bluff her.

In any case, the Blood Saint's accident was not something she had orchestrated; she had only delayed things slightly.

Blood Knight: "Elder Feng, I am lost and confused as to whether the Blood Saint can survive, and where our Blood Saint lineage will go from here."

She acted out a scene of being worried and confused about her own future now that her direct superior had fallen into a coma.

The Blood Knight could feel Elder Feng's gaze shift away.

She knew she had passed this hurdle.

"I told the Blood Saint long ago to take things one step at a time and not to act in such an extreme manner."

"Sixteen years ago, his own Soul dissipated, and he only survived by using a secret technique; this time he's gone and done something even bigger."

"Hmph!"

A burst of Gale surged from Elder Feng's body, whistling away and shaking the entire Storm Palace until it emitted a howling sound.

Not long after, the Gale surged back and coiled around Elder Feng's body; he opened his eyes once more.

"The Blood Saint is beyond saving; his Soul has completely returned to heaven and earth. Throw his body into the Blood-Colored Altar, and let us begin the selection for a new Blood Saint again."

"After the Blood Saint's body is melted by the Blood-Colored Altar, a legacy will naturally appear, and the legacy will guide you to find the new Blood Saint."

Just as the Blood Knight wanted to ask a few more questions, her body was directly teleported out; however, her goal had been achieved, and she felt exceptionally relieved.

At this moment, Ye Bai, who was in the Secret Realm, discovered that the moment the Blood Saint died, he dropped equipment.
