Yun Lintian glanced at the blood-colored space above his head solemnly. The suppression from it made him feel as though every single droplet of blood in his body was about to evaporate.
"I can pry open the gap. The rest depends on you, My King." Lauya said, and her body shone with dazzling green light.
The suppression on everyone inside suddenly disappeared as the green brilliance spread out.
"Everyone!" Yun Lintian shouted while tightening the grip of the Heaven Piercing Sword. Phoenix flames and Vermilion Bird flames erupted simultaneously.
At the same time, Nantian Fengyu's eyes shone with scarlet flames. Her aura rose to the peak as she released Phoenix flames toward the blood-colored space above her.
Meanwhile, Linlin and Qingqing had also released their most powerful attacks.
The raging flames intertwined the wind and lightning storms repulsing all of the bloody energy as it burned and rampaged through everyone corner of the bloody domain.
Yun Lintian also flew into the air, all of the profound energy in his body surging. The Heaven Piercing Sword lashed out like a furious storm as it pounded heavily against the blood-colored barrier.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
The sword danced in Yun Lintian's hand like a raging storm as he slashed out one after another. His speed was getting faster as time passed to the point his arm turned into shadows.
After one hundred strokes, the dense and bloody energy within the Devil Blood Refining Domain had been thrown into great disorder, and it even made several whining sounds, which signaled its impending collapse.
BOOOM!!
Following the last strike of Yun Lintian's sword, a huge hole was smashed through the blood-colored space as the raging flames poured out of that gap. Following that, the escaping flames suddenly parted as the figures of Yun Lintian and the others flew out from within.
Seeing this scene, Xing Chen's eyes widened open in shock. From Mo Ke's words, the Devil Blood Refining Domain was one of the most powerful techniques of the Devil Emperor, yet it was broken just like that.
Before this, he had been injured by Yun Lintian's attack, so even though he had been enraged by it, he thought it was entirely due to Yun Lintian's trump card.
However, the domain that he treated as a trump card had actually been smashed into pieces by Yun Lintian in a few seconds… The arrogant words he spoke earlier had become a joke now.
"AHHHH! WHY!? Why can't I fight you after all of this!?" Xing Chen seemed to lose his mind as he bellowed madly. With the influence of the Devil Emperor's blood, his original calm and composed demeanor had utterly broken.
"I have painstakingly practiced for two hundred years, killed countless people, been soaked in oceans of blood, wasted so much time thinking up countless schemes. I have also endured heavens know how many humiliations throughout my life."
"And I even abandoned humanity and turned myself into a devil to reach this point!"
Xing Chen huffed and puffed as he was overcome by rage, shock, befuddlement, strong discontentment, and jealousy. "But you! Why!? Why did you get all of the strength without sacrificing anything!? You don't even have to spend any effort to reach this level!… Why is it not fair!? Why!?"
Everyone kept saying that Xing Chen was lucky to be born in the Star Gazing Palace with everything waiting for him, but no one knew how much pain he had been through.
As someone who lacked talent in the profound path, which was the most important thing in this world, he had been constantly looked down upon since he could remember things.
Everyone inside might look respectful in front of him, but he knew just how much they disdained him in their hearts.
Even though he was the eldest son of Xing Yongnian, the Star Gazing Palace Master, his position wasn't guaranteed at all.
He had endured too much scorn and humiliation. Adding the hatred he harbored toward himself for being weak, on one particular day, he finally snapped completely like an awakened demon, and his lust for power madly grew.
No talent? Then he would make up for it with something else. While others practiced a single profound technique, he spent days and nights learning everything he could. Formation, medicine, and even forging, he studied them all. Only the heavens knew how many times he had passed out because his spirit couldn't keep up.
In order to keep his position within the palace, he started killing everyone that could potentially become a threat to him with his underhand means. That included his own mother, who loved his younger brother, Xing Renshu, more than him.
When he learned about Yun Lintian's experience, he couldn't help but become jealous.
A young man who grew up with so much love and care and obtained the most powerful inheritance without going through any pain. In a short twenty years, he had become one of the top powerhouses in the world… How could Xing Chen possibly accept that!?
"The Beyond Heaven King's inheritance, the bloodlines of the Divine Phoenix, Vermilion Bird, and White Tiger… Why couldn't it be me who got all of that!? Why!?" Strands of blood ripped apart within Xing Chen's original bloody eyes as he screamed out unwillingly.
Yun Lintian stared at Xing Chen and said in a deep voice. "There's nothing wrong with you saying that. I am indeed lucky to obtain everything I have currently. I have people who love me, and I have met a lot of great friends. I am also getting the power without spending much effort, as you have said."
"However, you have forgotten one thing." He raised the Heaven Piercing Sword up slightly and said. "Luck is also considered a strength. So, losing to me because I am luckier is something you can't control, no matter how powerful and deep your mind is. Just accept it obediently."
Hearing this, Xing Chen's distorted face abruptly froze, and soon, laughter escaped his mouth. He was no longer crazy like before.
"Heh… Hehehe! You're right! Why should I complain about something I can't control?"
His pitch-black eyes gradually regained their terrifying calm as he stared at Yun Lintian…
