Chapter 48: Day 2: The Northern Land
The sky above the Northern Land passed quietly, enveloped in an unprecedented peace. This was due to the mysterious disappearance of the Sacred Land of Mist, allowing the Sacred Blood Demon Land to become the sole authority in the Northern Land. They had annihilated the remaining six sacred lands with swift and efficient destruction, leaving them unrivaled in no time. Despite suffering many losses in past events, their power now remained unchallenged.
In the last three months, before the system isolated this fragment world from outsiders, the Sacred Blood Demon Land sent an additional five hundred Supreme Emperors. This move not only fortified their dominance but also accelerated the unification of the Northern Land with decisiveness and precision.
Now, the Sacred Blood Demon Land had expanded tremendously, and they continued to recruit disciples in large numbers. Their strength in the Tianyuan World had grown so great that they were now considered the most powerful sacred land of this era.
New disciples entering the land demonstrated impressive potential and capabilities, along with strong dedication to their mission. They were prepared for any situation, whether defending their territory or expanding their influence elsewhere, as the Central Land remained inactive.
In a small city within the Northern Land, chaos was unfolding. Ordinary citizens were being mercilessly slaughtered by the people of the Sacred Blood Demon Land, who reveled in their arrogance and the power they held. These individuals rampaged through the city, destroying everything in their path without any mercy.
Amidst the chaos, the ground suddenly began to quake violently. The sky above the city darkened, and a massive shadow began to descend from the heavens. Upon closer inspection, the shadow was an enormous sword, so large it seemed to blot out the sky.
The disciples of the Sacred Blood Demon Land, who had been slaughtering people with ruthless delight, were oblivious to the sword's descent. It fell rapidly, its movement silent, but the impact with the ground sent out a massive shockwave.
The sound of the sword's fall echoed loudly, causing the entire city to tremble. The disciples, elders, and anyone in the city had no time to react before they were crushed to death by the colossal sword.
The once-bustling city was wiped off the map in an instant. The destruction was swift, and no one could retaliate.
This event was only the beginning of a much larger catastrophe. In another distant city, a massive crater appeared in the middle of the city, resulting in devastating losses for the Sacred Blood Demon Land.
In another city, a violent lightning storm struck relentlessly. The destruction was immediate; the people of the Sacred Blood Demon Land, along with the entire city, were wiped out, leaving nothing behind. The terror of the lightning storm scorched everything to ashes.
In yet another city, a sea of blood unlike anything seen before began to engulf the city. Giant waves of blood continued to consume the city, killing many people of the Sacred Blood Demon Land instantly. The city was drenched in despair and fear.
Meanwhile, in the Sacred Blood Demon Land, anxiety was growing rapidly. Elders and disciples were in a state of confusion and shock. Many witnessed the soul jades of their fellow disciples or elders shattering continuously, as the power and strength they once held disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The Great Elder, the leader of the Sacred Blood Demon Land, called an emergency meeting, ordering everyone to return to the sect immediately to preserve their numbers. However, as they attempted to regroup, their defensive formations were attacked by an unstoppable force. The entire defense collapsed instantly.
The Great Elder, filled with fury and anxiety, yelled when he saw four people along with many others standing behind them:
"You of the Fallen Heavenly Blood Sect! This is my land, not yours! Return to where you came from at once!"
Gongsun Lei, a being of immense power, wasted no time. He moved at lightning speed toward the Great Elder with indifference. His attack was swift and devastating; the Great Elder was obliterated in an instant. This attack also caused collateral damage, killing those nearby swiftly.
The chaos escalated as Chang Ming, Chang Qian, and Mo Jun combined their powers. Together, they launched a powerful attack on the Sacred Blood Demon Land, wiping out nearly every disciple and elder in an instant. The battle was fast and decisive.
Mo Jun, caring only about rescuing his father, rushed into the sect's prison. He searched and finally found his father. When they met, both laughed with joy. This reunion was a meaningful moment for both. Mo Jun's father cheerfully said, "Finally, you're here, son."
Mo Jun responded as he was about to leave, "Still in good health, old man."
But his father quickly replied, "Wait, wait, wait! Help me get out first!" His voice was filled with urgency.
Shortly after, the Sacred Blood Demon Land was destroyed with ease. Without even a single cultivator in the Immortal Realm, their downfall required little effort from the Peak Masters of the Heavenly Blood Sect.
After the destruction was complete, everyone began gathering valuable resources—immortal spirit veins, weapons, medicinal herbs, minerals—and handed them over to the Protector Elder. They were preparing for an immediate journey to the Central Continent.
The Protector Elder pulled the soul of a man and asked:
"Where is Ye Chen?"
"Please, let me go," the soul begged, but it was slowly burned, its voice filled with unbearable agony.
"Ye Chen left this fragment world with the Saintess three months ago."
The Protector Elder smirked slightly and departed immediately.
