Above Nine Netherworlds, upon the Blood Sea!
Minghe stood with his hands behind his back, exhilarated at the prospect of obtaining that Primordial Violet Qi.
Even if the final treasure was not awarded, he had still shown off the two supreme killing treasures in his hands, Abi and Yuantu. Besides, he still had a Supreme Grade Innate Spirit Treasure that had not made the rankings!
Suddenly, waves of danger made his body tremble involuntarily.
Then his gaze darkened, and the aura around him began to surge wildly, raising towering waves of blood across the entire Blood Sea.
"Damn it!"
"You want Ancestor's treasures? Your Witch Race doesn't have the quali... Even if the Demon Emperors came, so what... Zhenyuanzi? Kunpeng? Saints?"
"Damn it! Even Saints have come? How the hell am I supposed to fight this?"
"How can these bastards be so shameless?!"
At first, when he sensed the Twelve Ancestral Witches entering Nine Netherworlds, Minghe had been full of confidence that he could withstand them. He had not feared even the arrival of the Demon Emperors.
But the further he probed, the grimmer his expression became. In the end, he could not help but curse aloud.
He had already sensed one powerful figure after another entering the Land of Nine Netherworlds. The top Quasi-Saints of Hong Huang, even the Six Saints of Hong Huang, had all arrived.
The goals of those people were obvious: the two swords, Yuantu Abi, in his hands. They intended to seize the treasures and wait for the rewards!
With so many powerful figures arriving, it seemed to carry the same air as the Dragon-Han Tribulation.
No matter how confident he was in his own strength, how could he resist if those Saints made a move?
With that thought, he steeled himself and shouted, "Asura Clan, all of you conceal yourselves! Do not engage those who have come. Ancestor will handle everything!"
At those words, every member of the Asura Clan trembled. They had battled heaven and earth—when had they ever cowered?
Unless someone had appeared whom even Ancestor had no confidence in dealing with.
Although they wanted to charge out and meet the enemy, they had no choice but to obey Ancestor's decree. They could only quickly hide themselves.
At the same time, astonishing Blood Fiend Qi erupted above the Blood Sea.
Old Ancestor Minghe slowly rose into the air, while the Twelve-grade Karma Red Lotus beneath his feet released power that shook heaven and earth.
Immediately afterward, Blood God Son avatars rushed out from the Blood Sea. In but an instant, their number reached four hundred and eighty million.
He would not flee outright, but he had to make every possible preparation. There were too many enemies in this battle, and it concerned life and death. He could not be careless.
"One hundred million, conceal yourselves throughout Nine Netherworlds!"
"One hundred million, guard the Asura Clan!"
"Eighty million, seize the chance to leave Nine Netherworlds and hide throughout Hong Huang and beyond!"
"The remaining two hundred million, follow Ancestor and fight all incoming enemies!"
Each of these four hundred and eighty million Blood God Son avatars contained a wisp of Old Ancestor Minghe's divine soul. This was his greatest support. Even if his true body died, as long as a single Blood God Son avatar remained, he would not perish.
"Minghe!"
"Hand over Yuantu Abi, those two treasures, and we will spare your life!"
"That's right, hand them over! Otherwise, my brothers will level Nine Netherworlds and slaughter the entire Asura Clan!"
The Twelve Ancestral Witches were the first to reach the vicinity of the Blood Sea. They all raised their voices toward Old Ancestor Minghe above it.
Before Old Ancestor Minghe could respond, Di Jun, Taiyi, and the other demon clan members had already rushed to the Blood Sea as well.
They first glanced at the Twelve Ancestral Witches, then also began demanding the treasures from Old Ancestor Minghe.
Next came Zhenyuanzi, Kunpeng, the remnants of the Dragon Clan, the remnants of the Qilin Clan, and top experts from every side. Even the Six Sages appeared around the Blood Sea one after another.
The moment the Saints appeared, the momentum of those top Quasi-Saints faltered. Even the Twelve Ancestral Witches and the Two Great Demon Emperors had no choice but to retreat several steps to the side.
The Six Saints exchanged glances. At that moment, Nuwa stepped forward first and called out to Old Ancestor Minghe, "Old Ancestor Minghe, hand those two treasures to This Palace, and This Palace can protect your Asura Clan!"
"Fellow Daoist Nuwa, these treasures are fated with the Western Teachings and should enter the Western Teachings!"
Jieyin and Zhunti smiled as they blocked Nuwa's path, looking toward Old Ancestor Minghe.
"Hmph! Treasures like these should naturally be controlled by the Mystic Gate. Whoever dares step forward shall be annihilated!"
Tongtian had abandoned his continued search for Kong Xuan and specifically come to the Land of Nine Netherworlds to join Laozi and Yuanshi. Naturally, he had come for the two killing swords, Yuantu Abi.
At this moment, he naturally could not let the two Saints of the Western Teachings have their way.
"Third Brother is right!"
"Yuantu Abi must enter the Mystic Gate. Whoever dares seize them shall be destroyed!"
Yuanshi also let out a cold shout, astonishing killing intent appearing around him.
Although Laozi said nothing, he stepped forward as well, standing together with Yuanshi and Tongtian.
For a time, the many powerful figures present all trembled, not daring to speak in rebuttal for a long while.
But the three of them still underestimated the allure of Primordial Violet Qi.
The Twelve Ancestral Witches were the first to bring forth the Array Flags of the Twelve Heavenly Gods and Demons Great Formation. They slowly stepped forward and looked toward Sanqing.
"You Saints possess countless treasures. Why must you come and fight us for this opportunity?"
"If that is the case, we can only summon Father God's true form and fight you!"
Under normal circumstances, they would never provoke Saints. But this concerned their opportunity to become Saints, so they had no choice but to force themselves onward.
For a time, before the many powerful figures before the Blood Sea had even attacked Old Ancestor Minghe, they were already arguing fiercely. Even the majesty of the Saints could hardly suppress the restless hearts of these many experts.
One day, two days, three days... ten days passed in a row, yet the battle still had not begun.
After all, not only were the Quasi-Saints checking one another, but the Saints had also divided into three factions, none willing to yield.
Under such circumstances, Old Ancestor Minghe could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.
As long as these powerful figures began fighting among themselves, his danger would rapidly lessen, and he might even escape this predicament.
[Supreme Hongmeng Ranking, the bottom sixty-nine places have stabilized. Rewards will soon be issued. All holders of ranked treasures, please prepare to receive them!]
Just as the many powerful figures in Nine Netherworlds could no longer restrain themselves from making a move, that ethereal voice slowly rang out, shaking Hong Huang.
"Will rewards really be issued?"
"Is that true or not?"
"Then should we immediately attack Minghe?"
"I hope they aren't fooling us..."
For a time, whether they were powerful figures within Nine Netherworlds or treasure holders ranked on the Hong Huang Treasure Ranking, all raised their heads toward the enormous Supreme Hongmeng Ranking.
[Rewards for ranks ninety-nine through ninety will be issued!] [Rewards for ranks eighty-nine through eighty will be issued!] [Rewards for ranks forty-nine through forty will be issued!] [Rewards for ranks thirty-nine through thirty-one will be issued!]
Wave after wave of announcements rang out, shaking heaven and earth throughout Hong Huang.
For a time, streams of pale golden light emerged from the enormous Scroll, each flying toward various places in Hong Huang.
"They're being issued! There really are rewards! My treasure has advanced!"
"Mine too! I obtained a wisp of Power of Law!"
"Hahaha..."
