You’re a wanted criminal of the Insect Clan—how dare you show your face before me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blood Prison Divine Emperor instantly decided—he had already split off a thread of divine awareness to notify the “Civilization’s Elegy” through the Insect Clan communicator, and now he must hold Fang Xing off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A human Dao Lord!

Xiao, you joined the Starry Civilization around the same time as that lord—how is it that he now crushes a Fourteenth-Step Dao Lord with a flick of his finger, while you’re still stuck in the Thirteenth-Step Law Lord stage?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From within the Yuan Yan Palace came Kui Lan’s unhesitating mockery.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But… Lord Kui Lan…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At Kui Lan’s feet, the Yuan Yan Beast spoke: “You know that lord too—you’ve even been humiliated by him before… but back then, your powers were closer.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“If you can’t speak properly, then shut your mouth.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kui Lan immediately sealed the Yuan Yan Palace, barely preventing the tiny beast’s voice from escaping.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Still… has he really reached this point?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After teasing his friend, Kui Lan gazed at the current Fang Xing, deeply moved.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, his expression changed sharply: “Trouble!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Yuan Yan Palace roared, pulling Xiao inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you doing?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao asked, puzzled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Look…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kui Lan’s expression was grave as he manifested the Blood Prison Continent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the continent, one after another dark rituals formed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The entire continent had been pre-inscribed with Dao patterns, transformed into a vast array—or rather… a slaughterhouse!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One by one, humans of the Blood Prison Civilization screamed, wailed… turning into droplets of blood that merged into the blood sea above!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even Star Lords and Law Lords could not escape!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Damn it!

Is your desire to live really so desperate?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blood Prison Divine Emperor gave no answer—only a faint thread of bloodlight struggled weakly between the two grinding mills.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hmm?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Fang Xing suddenly turned. A strange song seemed to reach his ears.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The song was both mournful and majestic… like the final elegy of a dying civilization, making one nearly weep upon hearing it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>—The Elegy of Civilization!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“The Elegy Lord has arrived!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hope blazed in the Blood Prison Divine Emperor’s eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt the two grinding mills instantly grow immeasurably heavier!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing the main force approaching, Fang Xing directly unleashed a sliver of primordial Panwu power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Boom!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chaotic force crashed down—before the Blood Prison Divine Emperor could even cry out, his body was ground to dust, then his core, his Dao power…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Howl!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A destruction demon wolf appeared, tracing the Blood Prison Divine Emperor’s body, instantly locating his countless clones, incarnations, blood embryos… even the Dao seed hidden within his primordial Blood Dao!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Blood Dao contains fragments of Life Law—such experts are always adept at survival.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But against Fang Xing, they had no fight left in them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After all, destruction and life are two extremes, mutually restraining.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Blood Prison Divine Emperor... has fallen?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The blood rain has stopped—thank heaven!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The ruined Yuan Yan Palace vanished; Xiao and Kui Lan immediately flew away from this cursed land of Blood Prison.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, not one in ten thousand of the lifeforms on this continent remained alive.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those who barely survived were filled with hatred toward the Blood Prison Divine Emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If faith could give birth to powerful beings, a 'God of Vengeance' or a 'God of Curses' should now emerge from the masses' resentment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet the resentment of the weak meant nothing at all to true powerful ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The only thing these billions of lifeforms could do was offer their own essence and blood in sacrifice to the Path of Blood, strengthening the Blood Prison Divine Emperor’s Path, only to be crushed by Fang Xing’s palm!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is this what a battle between Dao Lords entails?
