Chapter 292: The Azure Army (Thanks to [My Ice Cream Girl] for the 5)

Night had not yet fully descended, and beautiful clouds appeared in the sky.

The clouds surged and spread continuously.

Inside the Mawang Tomb, Wang Guan watched the backs of those few people and withdrew his gaze.

"Don't worry about them; let's go see what kind of anomaly is actually happening here."

Wang Guan was full of confidence.

The energy level of this world was not high, and he had even seen the strongest Blood Clan members that had appeared before—Royal-level Bloodkin—and their strength was very ordinary.

He treated this trial as a vacation.

"Senior Brother Wang Guan is right; there is no need for us to fix our eyes on these Ordinary people."

A young man said, a trace of superiority appearing on his face.

Once upon a time, he had also come from an ordinary working-class background, full of dreams, and his lifelong pursuit had been to get ahead.

Now, he had entered the First Immortal Academy and become a practitioner of Immortal Cultivation.

His mindset had changed drastically, and he long ago lost that mindset of an Ordinary person.

The group from the First Immortal Academy continued walking into the Mawang Tomb.

As for Zhuge Anran and the others, they had long been cast to the back of their minds.

Only Lin Tingya felt some worry for Zhuge Anran.

The group walked forward, and the sky grew darker and darker.

Before they had even walked a hundred steps, the sky had turned significantly darker.

This speed was very unusual.

"Something is wrong." Wang Guan stopped his footsteps.

He had discovered this anomaly.

The others present were also lost in thought.

"Isn't it getting dark a bit too fast?"

Only a few dozen steps ago, the clouds were still red, and now it was about to become pitch black.

This speed was extremely strange.

The people present immediately became vigilant.

"Be careful, there might be Blood Clan here." A man spoke up to warn them.

According to the data they had investigated, the anomaly here was related to the Blood Clan.

"A mere Blood Clan is nothing to fear." The arrogant man from before spoke up, "We are all practitioners of Immortal Cultivation, and with Senior Brother Wang Guan here, even if we encounter the strongest Royal-level Bloodkin, it is nothing.

It is just a pity for that group of people earlier... they will have to pay the price for their arrogance."

Although the people present were slightly vigilant, they did not take it to heart.

Compared to them, the practitioners of Immortal Cultivation, the gap with the Ordinary Blood Clan was immense.

As long as they were careful and vigilant, they would not encounter any danger at all.

As for that group of Ordinary people they had warned earlier, they probably would not have such good luck.

"Everyone be careful, something seems to be approaching." At this moment, Wang Guan suddenly raised his voice.

Many students also immediately became vigilant, sensing their surroundings carefully.

Suddenly, Lin Tingya raised an eyebrow: "Look quickly, there is... a human figure there?"

The group looked over and saw a mass of mist slowly forming within the black fog.

Within the mist, the group could see a pair of scarlet eyes, and a humanoid silhouette appeared in their field of vision.

"Is this the Blood Clan?" The young man raised an eyebrow, "Nothing special."

To him, this Blood Clan member did not feel very strong.

Wang Guan also smiled: "He is unlucky to have run into us."

If he had run into that group of Ordinary people, this Blood Clan member might have been able to go on a killing spree.

However, since he had run into them, this Blood Clan member would have no chance at all.

"Who will make a move to Slay this Blood Clan member?" Wang Guan asked.

In his perception, the strength of this Blood Clan member did not even count as First Tier.

Students like them who came out were at least First Tier.

Slaying a Blood Clan member who was not even First Tier was very easy.

"I'll do it." The arrogant man spoke, a glimmer of a smile flashing in his eyes.

He flashed forward, and a white light appeared in his hand.

This ray of light bolstered the attack and defense of his fist.

"Break."

He shouted loudly and unleashed the Breaking Army Fist Technique.

Boom!

The fist struck the body of that Blood Clan member, and immediately, the Blood Clan member staggered backward, spitting blood from his mouth, severely injured.

The arrogant man had a mocking look in his eyes: "Nothing special."

After saying this, he swung his fist again.

The fist struck the Blood Clan member again.

That Blood Clan member had no ability to resist at all and took several of his punches head-on.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

After a few punches, that Blood Clan member was already on the verge of death and could not live any longer.

"Senior Brother Zheng Yin is mighty; a mere Blood Clan is not worth mentioning.

This trial is over."

The students present spoke flattering words.

This trial, in all likelihood, was just the Blood Clan making trouble.

Now, this Blood Clan member had been thoroughly eliminated.

They naturally let down their guard.

"Not bad." Wang Guan also issued a word of praise.

Zheng Yin's Army-Breaking Fist indeed had some unique aspects.

However, just at this moment, a voice came over.

"Run quickly, there are monsters inside."

The voice was very urgent.

Zheng Yin listened to the voice carefully; the person speaking was none other than the aforementioned Zhuge Anran and the others.

At this time, Zhuge Anran and the others were travel-worn, running out from inside.

Their speed was very fast, unlike mortals.

However, Zheng Yin did not notice this.

And after Zhuge Anran shouted about the danger, he did not stop, continuing to run outward without passing by the position of Zheng Yin and the others.

Wang Guan and the others heard this news.

Someone looked vigilant: "There are still monsters inside?"

"It's that group of people from just now."

"That group of people is lucky to have actually managed to run out."

"Just watching Senior Zheng Yin display his divine might, my hands are itching a bit too."

Someone laughed.

Wang Guan looked at the night, his mouth curling into a smile: "Everyone, follow me to kill the enemy."

The group was just preparing to walk inside.

However, just at this moment, a scream suddenly came.

"Ah!"

The one who let out the scream was none other than Zheng Yin.

The crowd was shocked; they looked closely and saw that Zheng Yin's body was covered in dense, thick tentacles.

An eerie aura permeated, and the crowd felt a chill in their hearts.

They had no idea what had happened.

They looked over, and the next second, their scalps went numb.

They saw that in the darkness, deep within the black mist, there were dense, scarlet eyes everywhere.

Looking out, there were silhouettes of people ahead.

One, two, three... it was impossible to count them.

Thousands upon thousands of scarlet eyes gathered within; the people present had trembling legs.

One Blood Clan member, they could still deal with.

But this was ten thousand pairs of eyes, representing ten thousand Blood Clan members.

"Let's go."

Wang Guan's scalp went numb, and he spoke immediately.

The people present did not have any hesitation and hurriedly fled.

So many Blood Clan members were simply not something they could deal with.

Their hearts were in turmoil, and they could not understand why so many Blood Clan members would appear.

However, just as they wanted to move, a sinister voice came over.

"You killed my subjects, Ma Wang, and you still want to escape?"

They saw that in the darkness, an upright figure appeared.

This figure was a skeleton, snow-white and flawless, crystalline and translucent.

Following this voice, the students present immediately felt a great force strike them.

Their bodies were suddenly unable to move.

Such a powerful Blood Clan member?

Wang Guan felt terror in his heart.

Even his father could not compare to this level of strength.

How could such a powerful Blood Clan member appear in such a low-energy-level world?

He was puzzled.

"This senior, I am a disciple of the Fengxue Sect of the Ancient Origin Realm.

We entered your territory by mistake, please forgive us, senior."

At this time, Wang Guan could only beg for mercy.

The strength of the Blood Clan member before his eyes was truly too powerful.

"Hehe..."

The Blood Count named Ma Wang flashed a fierce light in his eyes: "This world is rotten to the core and shall accept the baptism of blood."

It acted as if it had no intelligence, following its own instincts.

Its hand reached toward the sky.

Suddenly, a massive blood-colored grinding disc appeared in the air.

The entire night sky was filled with blood-red light and shadow.

The sky seemed to brighten as well.

Only, this light was a red glow.

The people present looked over and saw only humanoid monsters with ferocious appearances covering the mountains and plains.

Their eyes were scarlet, and bone wings extended from their backs.

Upon the bone wings was turbid pus.

The appearance of these monsters was nauseating.

Such an army of monsters gathered together was extremely terrifying.

It was as if they could pierce through this world.

The students of the First Immortal Academy present had never seen such a scene.

Seeing this, they were thoroughly chilled with fear.

"So many monsters."

"What on earth is this?"

The danger of death descended.

They saw that, following the movements of that massive blood shadow.

The thousands of monsters behind began to move at this moment.

They widened their scarlet eyes, which were filled with fanaticism and riotous chaos.

They charged toward the students of the First Immortal Academy.

A look of despair flashed through Lin Tingya's heart.

Was this what Zhuge Anran had seen when he ran away just now?

What a pity.

With so many monsters, even if one ran for a while, they wouldn't get very far.

The residents on Fengsheng Island, the residents of Linhai City, and even Zhonglian Country... would all face a catastrophe.

Just then, however, a calm voice came.

"So you were hiding here."

A black figure appeared beneath the blood-red light and shadow.

The man with a tall, straight figure stood in the Void, a hint of a smile in his eyes.

The one who had come was none other than Lin Chao.

Just a moment ago, he had entered the depths of Mawang Tomb.

He had discovered a patch of black mist.

Within the black mist were endless monsters.

He had then let Zhuge Anran and the others leave first while he entered the black mist himself.

The monsters within the black mist were infinite, numbering in the tens of thousands.

Yet, in Lin Chao's hands, they were all wiped out in an instant.

Lin Chao had even spent quite a bit of time inspecting the corpses of those monsters.

Unfortunately, he still had not found the corpse of a Count-level Blood Clan.

He emerged from the mist and saw the scene before him.

It was another patch of black mist.

Within the black mist were countless monsters.

The leader of the monsters was none other than the Count-level Blood Clan he was looking for.

Lin Chao stood in the Void, his body not radiating any powerful aura.

Yet, he attracted everyone's gaze.

"Isn't he... one of the people in Zhuge Anran's group?" Lin Tingya was slightly stunned.

This person was standing in the Void.

Such a feat could only be accomplished by an Immortal Cultivation practitioner of at least the Third Tier.

Weren't Immortal Cultivation practitioners only found at the First Immortal Academy?

How could one appear here?

And why was he involved with Zhuge Anran?

Lin Tingya was baffled.

Wang Guan was also incredibly baffled.

He looked at that man, feeling puzzled as well.

Immediately after, a huge wave of surprise followed.

"Senior, be careful! This monster is terrifying; it is at least a Fifth Tier Heavenly Venerable!"

The voice came, but Lin Chao did not care at all.

His gaze remained fixed on the corpse of Mawang.

Upon it lingered a dense aura of a God Position.

This was not a God Position that should be on a Count-level Blood Clan.

One could even say that such a dense God Position Fragment could create a god.

This made even the current Lin Chao feel a bit tempted.

"A familiar aura?" the Horse King spoke, a strange look appearing in his eyes, "A martial artist? The aura of the Azure Army?

No, they are just some pathetic parasites."

After the Horse King finished speaking, a terrifying aura radiated from his entire body.

These pathetic human bodies that had been parasitized would gain powerful strength.

And this strength, at its strongest, was only comparable to the Seventh Tier.

Now, having been awakened by many Princes, his strength had reached the peak of the Seventh Tier, a Half-step Eighth Order.

These parasitized, pathetic human bodies were simply no match for him.

"The Azure Army has no possibility of resurrection.

You... go to your death!"

The Horse King's body expanded in that second.

A giant monster form appeared.

Its feet stepped on the ground, its head supported the sky, and it was dozens of zhang tall.

Everyone looking at this monster had to look up.

"Fresh blood... follow me to bury the Azure Chosen!"

The Horse King spoke, and countless monsters surged forward.

Dense and crowded, they rushed forward crazily.

It was as if nothing in the world could stop them.

Lin Chao stood in the Void, his gaze remaining calm.

He extended his palm.

Snap.

He lightly snapped his fingers.

The sound of this snap was very weak, not even louder than the roar of the monsters.

However, everyone present heard it clearly.

Under this snap, time and space seemed to stop.

All the monsters had their bodies frozen, maintaining an immobile posture.

It was just like when a director calls "cut" while filming a movie.

But the next second.

Crack!

It was as if a sound was heard.

All the monsters' bodies slowly split, breaking into many pieces, and finally turning into ash.

All of this happened within a single breath of time.

These tens of thousands of monsters were all destroyed and disappeared without a trace, as if they had never appeared at all.

And that massive Horse King body also collapsed with a boom at this moment.

That terrifying Horse King could not even withstand a single round before Lin Chao.

And Lin Chao's hand was placed upon the Horse King's head.

A drop of blood emerged from his palm and drilled into the Horse King's head.

Over these years, on the path of Qi-Blood Martial Dao, besides practicing, Lin Chao had also been imitating the path of Immortal Cultivation to modify the Qi-Blood Martial Dao.

This soul-searching technique was something he had newly modified.

This drop of blood, once merged into the Horse King's body, would instantly steal the Horse King's memories.

Suddenly, countless pieces of information flooded into Lin Chao's mind.

"Inner World?"

"Abyss Prince?"

"Azure Army?"

"Azure Chosen?"

"Innate God?"

"War of World Destruction?"

"Azure Great World?"

Countless pieces of information flooded in, and Lin Chao silently accepted them.

These pieces of information were incomplete.

However, Lin Chao also sorted out quite a bit of useful information.

The Azure Great World, the Abyss invasion, the flames of war ignited.

A powerful Azure Army appeared and blocked the Abyss's invasion.

In the end, both sides were destroyed.

And no one knew how many years had passed.

Within the Inner World, the Abyss Princes gradually awakened.

Hatred was simultaneously reignited.

The mission and will of the Abyss was to destroy the Azure Army and those Azure Chosen.

Thus, the Inner World and Outer World of this world were constantly making contact.

One node after another appeared.

This time, a Blood Clan Grand Duke from the Abyss awakened several Count-level Blood Clan members and dispatched Blood Clan monsters, intending to use these armies to completely annihilate the Azure Chosen.

"In other words, the Inner World has been preparing to invade the Outer World all along?"

"Then... did these events happen before or after I reincarnated here?"

Lin Chao was puzzled, with many conjectures in his heart.

However, this was not the time to think about these things.

Casting these thoughts aside, Lin Chao waved his hand.

Dense clusters of Blood Beads appeared in his hand and entered a bag.

Among them, a large mass of God Position was also tucked away by him.

"Done, time to go check on the other corpses." Lin Chao's gaze was calm.

Those corpses were all treasures.

Perhaps, just like the Horse King, they all had treasures on them.

Meanwhile, not far away, Wang Guan and the others were still incredibly shocked, while the joy of surviving a disaster filled their hearts.

Who exactly was this person before them?

And what were those monsters?

Why was his strength so powerful?

Could he... be a senior from the Ancient Origin Realm?

"Many thanks to the senior for the grace of saving our lives." Wang Guan stepped forward, a respectful expression on his face.

His previous arrogance had long since vanished.

This time, three students from their First Immortal Academy had died here unexpectedly.

If the senior had not appeared, they would likely all have perished here.

The others also hurried forward, their faces filled with awe: "Many thanks to the senior for the grace of saving our lives."

Lin Chao glanced at them, his gaze calm.

His target was the Count-level Blood Clan.

"This place is a land of trouble; there are still many monsters like the ones just now, so you should leave as soon as possible."

Lin Chao said softly.

His figure vanished in an instant.

Beside him, Wang Guan looked at the ground before him, his heart incredibly shocked.

Especially since so many monsters had died from a single snap of fingers.

The visual impact of such a scene was extremely strong.

They would likely never reach this level in their entire lives.

"Senior Brother Wang Guan, is this senior also from the Ancient Origin Realm?" someone asked.

"I don't know." Wang Guan shook his head, his heart still harboring a trace of doubt.

The methods of the senior just now were very different from immortal methods.

Of course, it was also possible that his own knowledge was limited, which was why he couldn't tell.

"His strength... does it compare to the Elders of our Fengxue Sect?" someone asked tentatively.

Wang Guan froze.

Comparing the Fengxue Sect's Elders to that senior?

That was an insult to that senior.

However, he would not say words that would damage the sect's dignity.

"The sect Elders are still a bit inferior compared to this senior."

"Could it be that he compares to our Sect Master?" the students present were shocked.

Wang Guan could not speak.

He felt that even if the Sect Master came, he would not even be fit to carry the shoes for this senior.

Such methods, even in the Ancient Origin Realm, would likely be considered those of a top-tier senior expert.

Sorry, sorry! I will slowly make up for the missed updates later!
