Whoosh!
Just as the blood-red palm print fell down, a brilliant beam of sword light passed through it. It transformed into a beam of light and shot into the sky.
When the light stopped, it consolidated into Empress Chi Yao's beautiful divine figure.
Empress Chi Yao stood in the sky. Her long black hair fluttered in the wind. Countless runes interwove on the Divine Blood Sword in her hand. Her beautiful yet cold eyes radiated with undefeatable power.
The blood-red handprint below hit the ground and shattered, transforming back into boiling blood water.
It was like rivers of blood were on the ground. They were shocking.
Whoosh!
Blood water was still pouring out of the gates of Hell.
At the same time, a vast and deep voice came from another world. It appeared above Chi Yao's head. \"One hundred thousand years ago, didn't all the gods die, and wasn't even the World Spiritual Root broken? How can there be a new god born?\"
Chi Yao lifted her lashes and spoke to the voice coldly. \"Since I could become a god, this means that Kunlun's Field is awakening.\"
\"Awakening?\" The voice from the other world contained a laugh. \"One hundred years ago, Kunlun's Field already became battered and covered with holes. If it wasn't for that Xumi who used all his divine power to seal the holes, Kunlun's Field would've become a part of Hell long ago, becoming part of the Immortal Vampire's territory. You wouldn't have been able to live until now.
\"To be honest, you don't have any hope. Why continue to struggle?
\"However, since you could become a god under Kunlun's Field's exhausted conditions, it's obvious your talent and personality are quite good. Why don't you follow me and work for the Immortal Vampires? At least, your life will be spared.\"
Empress Chi Yao's body sparkled with divine light. Sword Qi shot out of her as she mocked, \"You can't even destroy Saint Monk Xumi's remaining power and you want me to submit to you?\"
\"You think you can overlook the entire world just because you're a god? I can only say that you're an ignorant fool trapped in Kunlun's Field. I have cultivated for 134,000 years and I still hold reverence. How many years have you cultivated for?\"
Empress Chi Yao's expression didn't change. Fearless, she just played with her long hair. \"You don't necessarily become stronger as you cultivate more.\"
The voice from the other world sharpened as he huffed. \"You really think I can't descend upon Kunlun's Field? One hundred thousand years have passed. Ninety percent of that Xumi's remaining power has scattered. It became extremely fragile long ago. Today, I will descend upon Kunlun's Field. I will first kill you and then destroy Kunlun's Field.\"
Kaboom.
The gates of Hell started shaking again. Rings of divine power surged out. Then a huge blood-red hand reached out of it.
Unlike before, this hand wasn't formed by blood water. It was a true hand.
The hand of an Immortal Vampire god had stretched from Hell to Kunlun's Field.
Merely the power from the hand was able to shake Manji Island crazily. The ground buzzed and tall waves lifted in the North Sea.
\"In the end, Saint Monk Xumi's remaining power is no longer able to protect Kunlun's Field. This day has come a bit too soon, hasn't it?\"
Empress Chi Yao's red lips opened slightly as she sighed. Then her eyes sharpened horribly. Holding the Divine Blood Sword, she decisively walked toward the gates of Hell and struck down.
As soon as the Divine Blood Sword went out, Blood Qi crossed 3,000 miles. Sword wind passed through the sky. The power that burst forth wasn't any weaker than that divine hand.
\"Idiot. Fighting me with your cultivation is like an egg trying to fight a rock.\"
Overpowering divine force exploded from the red hand in the gates of Hell. It went toward the Divine Blood Sword, wanting to kill the new god of the human race.
Boom!
Divine power shot out of Empress Chi Yao's body. It became one with the Divine Blood Sword. The power she wielded actually stopped that blood-red hand.
The two bursts of divine power clashed violently. No one retreated at all.
\"So what if you've cultivated for 134,000 years? You're only a hand that has reached into somewhere it shouldn't be. It should be cut off.\"
Empress Chi Yao's curvy body seemed to be made out of seven-colored divine jade. Dragging the Divine Blood Sword, she tore a long bloody cut onto the hand. A large amount of divine blood flowed out.
Even though she couldn't cut off the hand, she'd still injured it.
\"In your dreams! I'll let you see what true divine power is today. You're still far from it.\"
The gates of Hell trembled again. Rings of divine power rippled out like a windstorm. The water of the North Sea went even crazier.
The next moment, a second giant red hand reached out from the gates of Hell.
The power that burst from the two hands instantly doubled.
The divine power that poured out of Manji Island turned the entire sky above the North Sea red. All the creatures in the sea were terrified.
Crackle.
Pop.
…
The space near the gates of Hell were shattering. Saint Monk Xumi's remaining divine power was quickly scattering.
\"The battle from 100,000 years ago shall end today.\"
The owner of the two giant red hands sent even stronger divine power through the gates. Clearly, he was about to fully descend upon Kunlun's Field soon.
At the same time, shocking changes were occurring elsewhere in Kunlun's Field.
Northern region.
Deep within Xianji Mountain, Saint Monk Xumi's remaining power was also collapsing. Deathly Qi poured out, covering the land.
Eastern region.
In the Tomb Forest, the Corpse River that separated the living and netherworld suddenly shook violently.
The Thousand-bone Empress' stone rune had stood in the Corpse River, sealing off the passageway. However, divine power from the netherworld suddenly poured out, cracking the stone.
Shreds of ghostly Qi surged out, extending through the entire eastern region.
The North Sea, northern region, eastern region, southern region, western region, central region, Savage Barren Territory… Even the void worlds around Kunlun's Field had similar phenomena.
Blood Qi, Death Qi, Ghost Qi, Evil Qi… Bursts of power from Hell seeped in through the pores of the world. They were about to rip apart the entire Kunlun's Field.
\"My brethren are starving in Hell. Kunlun's Field is a granary with so many beasts and so much food. Six Plutos, where are you? Follow me, your father, and engage in war!\"
The divine voice of that Immortal Vampire god rang out from the gates of Hell. He wanted to awaken the sleeping Plutos.
Two horribly huge Blood Qi wheels formed out of the palms of the two red hands. They crushed toward Empress Chi Yao. The entire sky was about to be ripped apart.
Empress Chi Yao waved her sword again. A thousand-mile-long Sword Qi flew out, shattering one of the Blood Qi wheels.
However, the other wheel hit her body. Dense cracks appeared all over the seven-colored divine body. She was about to shatter.
Empress Chi Yao half-knelt on the ground and slid back thousands of miles. Divine blood trickled out of the corner of her mouth.
\"Why are you still struggling? You can't block me. Submit to me and I can allow you to continue to rule Kunlun's Field. You can watch over my livestock.\" The divine voice was approaching.
\"Who did you say is…livestock?\"
Empress Chi Yao stood up again. Her battle intent didn't weaken at all. Instead, her eyes grew even sharper. Her body automatically left the ground as she uttered, \"To One.\"
She drew a circle with her Divine Blood Sword.
Instantly, the sky turned dark and black. Stars filled the sky above her head.
Whoosh!
That strike contained all her divine power and she struck with all her might.
The divine blood-red hands burst forth with all his might. He produced an even bigger Blood Qi wheel and struck out.
Kaboom.
Crackle.
Empress Chi Yao was once again hit by the Blood Qi wheel. Her entire body was bloody and mangled. Her divine body was tattered. She fell onto the ground, creating a huge hole.
However, the Divine Blood Sword also cut off the two divine hands.
A furious roar sounded at the other end of the gates of Hell. \"You can't stop me. Today, Kunlun's Field will die!\"
\"No, it won't!\"
Empress Chi Yao stood up again. She raised the Divine Blood Sword with both hands. Divine blood flowed out of her, transforming into various rivers of Blood Qi and rushing in all directions of Kunlun's Field.
\"I've prepared for so many years. The Heaven and Earth Altars should be activated now.\"
One of the blood rivers flew toward the Yin and Yang Sect, rushing into a Heaven and Earth Altar.
Another blood river flew out of Kunlun's Field. It entered the Mujing Void World and also rushed into a Heaven and Earth Altar.
…
All the Heaven and Earth Altars started operating.
A beam of light flew out of each altar. They interwove, protecting the entire Kunlun's Field.
The Corpse River, Xianji Mountain, Manji Island… The holes that connected to Hell were all sealed again.
An eerie voice sounded within the gates of Hell. \"So, you prepared beforehand. But merely the Heaven and Earth Altar can't stop us for long. You can continue to struggle to live. Next time my true body descends, it won't be this result…\"
That voice faded gradually and finally disappeared.
Empress Chi Yao's divine body wavered slightly. She could no longer support herself and almost fell to the ground.
However, in the end, she used the long sword to support herself. She didn't fall down, because there was something even more important that she had to do personally.
\"Saints of the imperial court, listen to me. I will leave Kunlun's Field soon. During this time, Huang Yanchen will be in charge of the First Central Empire's matters. Everyone must aid her with all their hearts. Whoever doesn't obey the orders will be killed by me when I return.
\"Second, the World Spiritual Root has already awoken. If he has any requests, the imperial court must support him as much as possible.
\"Third…\"
…
She issued a dozen orders. Each one was like a god sending messages. Then Empress Chi Yao started caressing the Divine Blood Sword in her hands. Her gaze was complex. \"Time, time, time is so tight and precious! Kill, kill, I must continue to kill! If I want true unity, I must wash Kunlun's Field with blood before I leave.\"
