Chapter 459: Blood Heaven Demon Emperor

Over the following five days, Xiao Han held almost absolute authority; before the Saint Grade Spirit Array, everyone had to make way for him.

Many top-tier powerhouses in the eyes of ordinary people, and even Heavenly Sovereign grandees who usually remained aloof from worldly affairs, lowered their status and allowed a junior like Xiao Han to order them around, while massive amounts of resources were poured into the array by Xiao Han without him batting an eye.

However, the bustling construction site could not disperse the dark clouds that the Heavenly Demon Emperor had cast over everyone's heads. Yet, when the heavy-hearted crowd looked up at the calm white-robed figure in the sky, their spirits would involuntarily lift; at least this Grandmaster presiding over the array still possessed the ability to lead them in resisting the formidable enemy.

However, no one knew that Xiao Han, who was at the center of everyone's attention, was equally anxious. Even though he could appear exceptionally calm, even deceiving those Heavenly Sovereign veterans who were as cunning as foxes, he could not change the fact that he was merely a Spirit Grade Grandmaster.

Even though controlling a Saint Grade Spirit Array was a cut easier than setting one up, after all, creating something from nothing and using a finished product were two different things.

But, the reduction in difficulty went only so far.

If the difficulty coefficient for setting up a Saint Grade Spirit Array was ten, then the difficulty of controlling it was five, yet his ability was only four!

This gap was quite inconspicuous in terms of data, but it felt like a giant mountain pressing down on Xiao Han's head.

If he were an Immortal Grade Grandmaster, he could have unleashed seventy or eighty percent of the Spirit Array's power, and with the help of the powerhouses on the defensive line, blocking and delaying a Heavenly Demon Emperor would be a simple matter.

Yet, he was only Spirit Grade; even counting the backup plans he had prepared, he could at most unleash fifty percent of the array's power. Once time ran out, life and death would be left to fate.

Time slipped away quietly amidst the trepidation of all the powerhouses.

On this day, demonic shadows towered outside Sheng Yuan Cheng, and rolling Demonic Qi blotted out the sun and sky. Under the watchful eyes of the Sheng Yuan Cheng defensive line, they revealed their forms from the edge of the horizon before everyone.

"Hahaha, brats of the Da Qian World, I, the Blood Demon Emperor, have come to see you!"

"Why is there no one here to welcome this King?"

In the lead was a figure with a body entirely crimson, burly and muscular, with a spiral horn on its head that looked quite mysterious. Most eye-catching of all were those scarlet eyes; merely by glancing over, one would be tainted by that monstrous killing intent born from the heart, causing the person to sink into an eternal world of slaughter. This was none other than the Blood Demon Emperor who had severely wounded several great powerhouses, including Ling Ao.

Following behind the Blood Demon Emperor were several figures with formidable demonic might. Judging by their aura, although they were a large cut weaker than the Blood Demon Emperor, they were still not to be underestimated. They were the high-end combat power second only to the Blood Demon Emperor this time—a group of Mysterious Demon Emperors and Ghost Demon Emperors, including the Nine-Blood Mysterious Demon Emperor who had come to investigate after the Ice Emperor killed that Ghost Demon Emperor back then.

"The Blood Demon Clan?" Xiao Han swept a rough glance at the group of Evil Clan powerhouses standing proudly in the sky. Most of them were from the Blood Demon Clan, and he had some realization in his heart: the main attackers this time should be the Blood Demon Clan, one of the Sanshier Dazhu of the Outer Realm Evil Clan.

While Xiao Han was observing the battlefield, Ling Ao, as the representative of the Da Qian World, also took the initiative to appear before the array. At this moment, one could no longer see the slightest weakness or disarray from a few days ago; his complexion was ruddy and his aura was long and steady.

"Since guests have arrived, our Da Qian World naturally must host them."

"However, for invaders, for robbers!" Ling Ao's tone turned cold instantly, containing vast killing intent.

"In our Da Qian World, there is always only one word..."

"Kill!"

As the word 'kill' fell, the atmosphere on the field instantly solidified. The previously smiling Blood Demon Emperor withdrew his smile, and the group of Demon powerhouses following behind him spontaneously mobilized their Demonic Qi. The powerhouses of the Da Qian World did the same, and both sides were instantly at daggers drawn.

"Ling Ao, this King truly does not know where you get the confidence to provoke this King."

The Blood Demon Emperor's tone was calm, but anyone could feel the cold pride and killing intent hidden beneath his unruffled words.

He looked symbolically toward the crowd,

"Is it that old fellow who was beaten half to death by this King a few days ago..."

"Or is it those reinforcements that still haven't appeared?"

When saying this, a look of gratification and cruel laughter appeared on the Blood Demon Emperor's face.

For this "Great Plunder," their Outer Realm Evil Clan had made full preparations, investigating the powerhouses of the Da Qian World thoroughly, and even painstakingly digging up him, a trump card that had never appeared on the front lines. To dispel the doubts of the Da Qian World, they had even released smoke bombs.

Facts proved that this plan was very successful.

The vast majority of the Da Qian World's combat power was dragged to the defensive lines of the other three sides, and the Saint Grade powerhouses, who were already at a disadvantage, could not move.

Even if the news from the western defensive line were exposed, it would take at least half a month for the hidden Saint Grade old monsters of those Da Qian World factions to be summoned and arrive. He still had at least one week left.

With such an ample time configuration, he could even have a cup of tea in Sheng Yuan Cheng after breaking the defensive line.

However, what made the Blood Demon Emperor somewhat puzzled was that the opponent's reaction was not despair, but the solemnity of facing a formidable enemy; they clearly had no intention of giving up resistance.

The Blood Demon Emperor inwardly praised the rock-solid mentality of the Da Qian powerhouses, regretting that he could not break through the western defensive line without bloodshed. He then stretched his limbs, and faint blood mist rose from around him.

"I really hope to see your despair before life and death!" the Blood Demon Emperor muttered to himself.

A blood-colored skull tens of thousands of feet in size slowly took shape behind the Blood Demon Emperor.

"Yellow Springs Blood Devour!"

Under the control of the Blood Demon Emperor, the hideous and blood-chilling blood-colored skull slammed heavily into the light screen outside Sheng Yuan Cheng.

"Hmm?"

What made the Blood Demon Emperor frown slightly was that, facing this light screen that was almost as thin as paper, his invincible killing move had actually failed to achieve any results, merely causing ripples to spread across the light screen.

"This King would like to see how many of your attacks this Saint Grade array can block?"

After a moment of confusion, the Blood Demon Emperor's attitude became exceptionally firm, wearing a cold smile. His line of thought was very clear: a Saint Grade Spirit Array sounded very intimidating, but that was only if it had a master.

Relying solely on those Heavenly Sovereigns in Sheng Yuan Cheng who knew nothing about Spirit Arrays and only knew how to blindly pour Spirit Power into the array to activate it, they could not even unleash one percent of the power of this legendary Saint Grade array.

Feeling the gazes of the entire field converging on him, the Blood Demon Emperor's expression was normal, but his heart was very satisfied; this situation of being the center of attention was exactly what he had expected.

And so...

Under the gaze of everyone, the Blood Demon Emperor stepped forward quite complacently.

This step...

"Heavenly Gate Golden Lock, Cage!"

Hundreds of pillars of Spirit Power, each a hundred feet in diameter, descended from the firmament and converged at the apex. Array Patterns of the array, emitting destructive light, emerged from the ground beneath the Blood Demon Emperor's feet. A golden cage appeared out of thin air, enveloping the Blood Demon Emperor within it, and the dense web of Spirit Power completely sealed off any possibility of the opponent escaping.
