In a blur, the blood-colored axe grew to more than a hundred feet in size, its might staggering.
Strangely, more than a dozen streams of purplish-gold blood erupted from Prince Grot, who had activated Heaven's Punishing Blood Axe, making the onlookers shudder.
After all, the Blood Clan army consisted, in plain terms, of lesser vampires created when higher vampires embraced living beings. Those lesser vampires then grew stronger through drinking blood and cultivating. Thus, a vampire's blood was exceedingly precious-the very root of their life. Even when wounded, vampires rarely bled, and most of the blood they did shed could be reclaimed. It was profoundly mysterious.
Yet no one had wounded Prince Grot just now. No matter how severely a prince-level vampire was injured, he could not possibly shed so much blood. The purplish-gold blood erupting from Prince Grot was enough to create more than a hundred vampire nobles, each comparable to a Chinese cultivator in the Innate Realm, yet it was being squandered just like that.
"Heaven's Punishing Blood Axe, as its name suggests, punishes on Heaven's behalf. Its power is immense, bringing certain death with no chance of survival, hence the name Blood Axe. It is one of the Blood Clan's sacred items, and blood sacrifices can be exchanged for its power. Supposedly, every tenth of one's blood sacrificed doubles its strength, with the increases compounding geometrically. Its might can slay gods and annihilate Buddhas!"
Gazing up at the earth-shaking axe, High Priest Kaheweichi murmured in indescribable shock.
Prince Sangli's heart tightened, and he blurted out in horrified bewilderment, "Didn't Prince Grot say they were deploying four great sacred items? What are the other two?"
"Hard to say! But the Blood Chalice should be among them. It is held by the Blood Clan's royal house, the Ventrue Clan.
