Chapter 354: Ten‑Thousand‑Meter Blood Wave, Conquering the Blood Sea

Rumble—...

Blood waves crash against the shore, and the whole world is filled with violent booming vibrations.

Inside the Blood Crystal Ancient Well Great Hall, many half‑person‑tall furnace‑fire tree trunks' flames tremble violently with this booming sound.

Within the hall, several fire‑person silhouettes stand each on their own.

Some observe the situation outside, some whisper privately about something, and others simply close their eyes to rest.

Ta Ke quietly surveys the surrounding half‑person‑tall "furnace‑fire tree trunks."

These "furnace‑fire tree trunks" are entirely black wood, crafted from the "fallen leaves" of the Flame World Tree.

After construction, the core area can be ignited with ordinary flame or magical flame.

Once lit, a single trunk can burn for five or six years, remarkably durable.

If a piece of "wood" made from the Flame World Tree's fallen leaves is added, it can extend the burn time by another year.

This item is a bestseller in trade.

It isn't cheap, yet its sales are massive.

During these half‑years, just from this magical little creation, Ta Ke of the Old Master made a fortune.

After a short while, Ta Ke gradually withdraws his gaze.

At this moment, the Blood Crystal Ancient Well Hall, illuminated by numerous fire‑people,

including Ta Ke and the Ninth‑Rank "Gray·Lanya," there are seven people in total.

Seven high‑rank Chao Shen Da Shi.

The number isn't few, but it certainly isn't many.

Facing a strong enemy assault with only this many capable people, Ta Ke finally understands why that Beile·Lanya wanted to recruit him.

The manpower here is truly scarce.

One must realize this is still a relatively important place.

Besides the small number of people,

the ranks and strengths of the crowd are also uneven.

The weak ones are like Ta Ke, only level 73.

The highest level is 99, that being Gray·Lanya, the leader here.

But Ta Ke sees clearly.

This "Gray·Lanya," who is closely linked to the Chao Shen Da Shi, clearly has not formed a Chao Shen Da Shi seed.

A Chao Shen Da Shi seed isn't something that can be formed easily.

Without enough rune crowns to condense the underlying essence of the corresponding elemental origin, you can't even grasp the primal power within the master's ecological nest, let alone speak of condensing a seed.

Even if you barely manage to condense it, when a large amount of primal energy is needed later, can your own absorption keep up?

Forming a master sequence seed is a long process; it's not something you can endure just by gritting your teeth.

Nevertheless, despite its high rank, its strength doesn't appear very great.

It does make Ta Ke's interest in the flame origin baptism of the Flame World Tree even stronger.

If one could quickly raise level and absorb chaotic origin, that would be wonderful.

A single foray by Ta Ke would surely yield abundant rewards.

"We've been waiting forever; the enemy is constantly drawing near, yet you still haven't explained the current situation or the upcoming battle plan."

"People… haven't they all arrived?"

Ta Ke looks around.

He watches each scorching "fire person."

Ta Ke ponders silently.

At that moment,

outside the hall, an astonishingly powerful Ninth‑Rank energy bursts forth.

With the emergence of that power,

"Sizzle—"

Numerous blood poison insects around explode, sizzling as they burn.

Even before the Ninth‑Rank strongman entered, the scorching flame power already dispelled the surrounding darkness and swaths of blood poison insects.

"Hm?"

Ta Ke's eyes narrow slightly, the intricate veins within his pupils intertwining as he scrutinizes the past.

"Another strong one who has formed a master sequence seed."

"The opponent hides well; only a faint master‑seed aura can be sensed."

"It's not impossible to sense more, but that would alert the opponent; after all, a master‑seeded strongman does have tactics."

As that scorching fire‑person silhouette appears,

a full‑figured, dashing human woman strides into the hall.

Her golden hair flows, she wears form‑fitting white armor, and her whole body radiates white scorching flame.

The senior guardians here clearly all recognize that the beautiful lady before them possesses astonishing strength.

"Lady Odette Nora!"

The many guardians all speak.

Ta Ke, unfamiliar here, also joins the crowd.

"Odette Nora, 'Steam Magic Swordsman', level 99, has formed a Flame Master seed." Ta Ke quickly outlines the new strongman's information.

Odette Nora scans the crowd.

When they saw the human Ta Ke, they paused briefly.

They probably only cared about Ta Ke's human identity, and nothing else was special.

Audette Nora looked out through the window for a moment, then turned, her brows slightly furrowed, and asked.

"How is the current situation?"

Grey Lanya immediately replied.

"Beile Lanya told me that the Void Scar Master Zhong Yan and the Dark Blade Assassin are secretly watching from that side."

"Lord Beile probably cannot muster forces to come over."

"We can only rely on ourselves now."

With Grey saying that,

the people amid the flames all darkened their expressions slightly.

This time, the enemy's coordinated action was clearly prepared.

The Blood Source Saint Alpha Louis possessed astonishing power.

His subordinates numbered two or three dozen high‑rank stronglings, a massive number of blood‑clan members.

All of them held the advantage of the Blood Sea main arena.

Moreover, this time the opponent came in a surging tide.

If a real slaughter broke out, it wouldn't be a question of whether they could hold the Blood Crystal Ancient Well.

It would be a question of whether they could survive.

Just as Ta Ke was thinking,

Audette Nora beside him simply spoke briskly.

"Wu Sula, Alvin."

The crisp voice fell, and two Worldship casters stepped forward.

"Lord Audette."

The two Worldship casters responded in unison.

"This time, you are the same as before."

"Cast spells to counter the hordes of blood bats and destroy the massive waves as much as possible."

"Understood!"

The two said solemnly.

Although Grey is the maintainer of order here,

Audette Nora holds the dominant position in combat.

Obviously, Audette Nora had previously led the group to victory.

The others still trusted their words.

After instructing the two casters, Audette Nora looked at Ta Ke.

"This seventh‑rank Steam Wizard friend."

"Taniru, just call me Taniru."

Ta Ke replied immediately.

"Lord Taniru, do you possess any flight ability?"

"Yes!"

"Very good."

Audette Nora's slender eyebrows lifted.

"Your mission this time is the same."

"Destroy their Blood Sea Surge as much as possible and burn those blood bats to death."

"If you encounter those strong enemies, fight if you can; if not, stall for time."

"Disrupt their attack plans as much as possible."

"Understood!"

Ta Ke nodded solemnly.

Immediately, Audette Nora turned to the others, her tone resonant and powerful, and said,

"Everyone… you should, as always, hold this ground."

"We, let's set out!"

The commanding words rang out and fell silent; Audette Nora, bearing her legendary longsword that radiated forbidden‑spell power, stepped onto the Blood Sea Void and swiftly vanished into the dark depths.

"Has this legendary longsword already been cultivated to this level?"

Ta Ke's brows lifted slightly.

"I don't know when my legendary demon‑ring staff will also be able to nurture the power of forbidden‑spell seeds."

In his thoughts, Ta Ke also released his Steam Light Feather Blade.

Like the other two Worldship practitioners of the Steam sequence, he was quickly engulfed by the darkness amid the low rumble of steam.

"Boom—…"

The Blood Sea's raging waves churned, with hundred‑meter‑high surges everywhere.

The blood mist was extremely dense.

They pressed onward for roughly seventy to eighty kilometers.

Boom—…

The thunderous roar of ten‑thousand‑meter waves rolled in.

Tens of billions of blood bats roared as they moved.

After seeing a large number of blood bats appear, a faint smile finally appeared on Ta Ke's otherwise tranquil face.

The number of these blood bats is so great it's refreshing and delightful.

Release a wave of blood-sea flame... I don't know if it can set this blood sea ablaze.

Ta Ke, his thoughts slightly stirring, immediately launched his powerful operation!
