Chapter 2134: The Name of the Blood Sea Should Not Be Spoken So Casually

"Blood Sea... Vortex..."

Jiang Ding looked toward the direction of the Sirius Star Domain battlefield, and a shiver of dread rose in his heart.

This term, this existence, made him feel an instinctive fear; his soul trembled, as if in ages past this name contained great terror, something unknowable, unspeakable, lest calamity descend.

Yet now, it seems touchable?

"Is this an Immortal?"

Jiang Ding whispered.

To make a mature True Immortal feel inexplicable fear merely by hearing this name, even the Human Emperor could not do that.

For the Human Emperor is but a fully grown True Immortal; like a youth and an adult, a youth would not instinctively tremble at the name of an adult; it is far from enough.

"But,"

"How could an Immortal possibly need the life essence scattered by the death of living beings?"

Jiang Ding asked in confusion.

An Immortal is an eternal, deathless existence!

Such an existence has no concept of death; as long as the boundless stars exist, He exists forever; such a being is beyond mortal comprehension, and such an existence could not possibly be driven by low-grade energy sources like blood qi, magic power, or life essence.

This would be as laughable as using a horse-drawn cart to pull a planet.

It cannot be an Immortal.

An Immortal would absolutely not be so crude; the mere birth of a True Immortal could not possibly affect an Immortal in any way; the gap between the two is incalculable, and they should never have intersected.

"Is it that someone is playing god and ghost?"

"Deceiving this Lord..."

Jiang Ding said coldly.

Under the rule of a True Immortal, everything should be His; taking without asking is provocation.

Even if there is no strength today, there will be repayment in the future.

The Tai Shang Great Sun Star Domains fell into war.

On the front lines, the two great armies slaughtered each other fiercely; ship cannons bombarded vast areas, and numerous gods and powerful beings of the myriad races summoned solar heavenly fire to descend upon the mortal world, burning countless beings in the Great Thousand Worlds to ash, destroying formation arrays, and turning the human beings in those worlds to ash... at every moment, powerful beings were dying.

At every instant, the number of cultivators dying was tens of thousands of times greater than in the past!

Countless cultivators, countless powerful beings withered like worthless weeds; for every one who died on the front lines, just as many, or even more, were replenished from the rear!

Both sides' terrifyingly immense manpower and material resources slaughtered each other in a meat grinder, with no end in sight.

Besides the main front-line battlefield, the war in the rear was equally fierce.

From time to time, demonic beast powerful beings such as plague-carrying demon rats and blood-curse plague mosquitoes would infiltrate the rear, spreading plagues and curses, triggering terrible plagues and chaos; masses of mortals and cultivators fell ill and died without cause, the plagues spread wildly, and the Dao Court Academy could not resolve them in a short time.

They could only seal off this area, turning it into a human hell.

From time to time, assassins such as invisible mantises and black-light sky eagles would hide and strike into the rear, destroying projects, plantations, artifact-forging factories, teleportation arrays, and so on, disrupting the production and logistical supply of the Tai Shang Great Sun Star Domains.

Everything and anything made the battlefield a tangled mess.

Yuan and other Supreme Beings grew increasingly anxious, began to lead expeditions personally, commanded the great armies to rush to the battlefield, and planned a campaign to resolve the current unfavorable war situation.

This was the dire situation of the Tai Shang Great Sun Star Domains.

What of the rear of the True Dragon Fortune Star Domains?

Time flowed on.

Amidst countless mountains of corpses and seas of blood, amidst the withering of countless lives, tens of thousands of years had passed.

Tens of thousands of years passed, yet the intensity of the battlefield showed no sign of easing; every day, countless lives still died on the front lines, while the rear continuously replenished them.

In the Ten Thousand Dragon Emperor Hall.

"What?"

"What did you say?"

Ya Zi, one of the nine Heavenly King titles of the True Dragon Fortune Immortal Dynasty and a Supreme Being of the Gou Chen Shang Gong Heavenly King, raised his vertical pupils, stared deathly at the white crane before him, and roared.

Terrifying killing intent descended from the nine heavens, nearly instantly overwhelming the soul of this White Crane Supreme Being before him, about to strangle him on the spot.

"Pfft!"

This White Crane Supreme Being already had injuries; a sword scar that had nearly cleaved him in half at the waist. Now, struck by this killing intent rushing into his soul, his body uncontrollably vomited great mouthfuls of blood, nearly dying in an instant.

"Ya Zi!"

"I have already said it!"

The White Crane Supreme Being also lost his temper, roaring in fury: "Di Ting Supreme Being has fallen in battle! The army is annihilated!"

"Are you deaf?"

"Can you not hear this at all?!!"

He roared like a madman.

A Supreme Being of Eight Tribulations, who is not one?

Who did not fight their way out from humble beginnings? Who did not survive a hundred battles on the battlefield? What kind of nonsense posturing is this dog thing doing here in the rear?!!!

"You are very good..."

Ya Zi Supreme Being revealed a violent expression.

Silence fell over the area.

The many Supreme Beings around trembled in fear, their bodies feeling somewhat cold.

Ya Zi Supreme Being was infamous for holding a grudge; even if someone had offended him slightly in the past, it often led to terrible consequences; wiping out a clan was trivial, and even Your Majesty had rebuked and punished him many times in the past.

For a long time.

Contrary to everyone's expectations, the Yazi Supreme did not strike. He had regained his composure, stared at the White Crane Supreme, and said coldly, "Wastes!"

"Billions upon billions of troops encircling and killing, dozens of Supremes joining in the encirclement!"

"A mere million sword cultivators scattered across various lands, a mere million sword cultivators!"

A bloody glint appeared in the Yazi Supreme's eyes. He growled lowly, "You wastes went to encircle and kill the scattered sword cultivators dispersed across the lands. In just ten thousand years, not only did you fail to complete the mission, instead the majority of the Supremes and the majority of the army died. White Crane! You should die, your entire clan should die!"

He was utterly furious.

Because he knew what terrible consequences a breach in the rear would bring at this moment.

The front lines required a constant stream of soldiers, required a constant stream of heaven materials and earthly treasures, and the demand had to be at least ten times that of the enemy. This was because the True Dragon Qi Fortune Immortal Court's army was enormously vast, far exceeding its opponents, and moreover because the expenditure of opening planar passages across the vast star domains for transport was far too great.

If supplies and soldiers were cut off, the collapse of the front-line army would be only a matter of moments!

"This Sovereign and the entire White Crane Immortal Clan should die?"

"Yes, indeed so."

The White Crane Supreme's tone likewise turned icy. He said indifferently, "Yazi, then your entire Yazi Immortal Clan should be the same. You and your entire clan should die!"

"If not for your stupidity, how could we have failed?"

The surroundings fell silent.

Many Supremes of the myriad races looked at the White Crane Supreme with some trepidation, astonished at his boldness.

The Yazi Immortal Clan, one of the True Dragon Nine Clans—this was almost pointing at the Yazi Supreme's nose and cursing him, and even subtly carried an insinuation, secretly pointing at the entire True Dragon Immortal Clan.

Had the White Crane Supreme gone mad?

Yes, indeed.

He truly should have gone mad.

The entire White Crane Immortal Clan was about to be annihilated. Many things could no longer be considered; they could only seek life within death, otherwise certain death was inevitable. Such a crushing defeat had to have a Supreme take responsibility with his entire clan.

"Heh,"

"This Heavenly King's stupidity?"

The Yazi Supreme instead regained his calm and said indifferently, "I'll give you the span of one breath."
