Chapter 126: His Madness is Not Feigned, It's Genuine

Chapter 126: His Madness is Not Feigned, It's Genuine

Over two thousand Earth Myths and several hundred Supreme Beings were gathered within the fortified city.

Qi Yuan, clad in a long crimson robe, sat atop the city walls with an air of sacredness. His voice, ethereal and enchanting, captivated everyone present.

As he preached, the crowd was enraptured, as if in a trance. Even Mi Luo Supreme, who harbored ill intentions, felt as if he were in a dream, constantly shifting between paradise and hell.

Time slipped by unnoticed as the crowd remained entranced.

Outside the No Return City, three formidable auras lurked.

Leading them was Mi Kong Dazun, the father of Mi Luo Supreme.

A peculiar expression crossed Mi Kong's face, "Even with the aid of the Destiny Slate, this Blood Lord's talent is still terrifying."

"The path of the Heart Demon is the path of human nature. One must deeply understand human nature, even to the point of obsession, to comprehend the Primordial Energy.

To preach, one must at least..." Another Supreme Being sighed, "understand human sentiments and see through the true nature of all things in the world. Unfortunately, this also means living in a daze."

There were three Supreme Beings present, all of whom had engraved the Primordial Ability onto their physical bodies and divine souls. They had a profound understanding of the Heart Demon's path.

This path was truly chaotic and insane. The deeper one's cultivation, the greater the influence it had on them.

There were no current Supreme Beings in the world who had reached the pinnacle like the White Emperor and the Supreme Sovereign.

Otherwise, who knew if they might suddenly go mad?

With the help of the Destiny Slate, the Blood Lord could clearly explain the chaotic path of the Heart Demon, allowing Earth Myths to directly comprehend the Primordial Energy. It could be said that the Blood Lord had delved so deeply into the Heart Demon's path that he was constantly on the verge of collapse and insanity.

Even Supreme Beings couldn't bear it, let alone the Blood Lord himself.

"Now that we have the Destiny Slate, we can't follow in the Blood Lord's footsteps and become too entangled with it."

A Supreme Being with yellow eyebrows, who hailed from the Northern Region, proposed, "Let's each take turns holding the Destiny Slate for seven years."

This proposal had been agreed upon by them beforehand.

"No objections," spoke a blue-haired woman, her voice icy. "I love researching strange things the most. I want to thoroughly study the Blood Lord's body, so two-thirds of it should be left to me."

Mi Kong Dazun laughed, "When we make our move, we mustn't be too aggressive. If we shatter the Blood Lord into pieces, the Ice Snow Supreme won't be able to conduct her research."

The Yellow Eyebrow Supreme smiled, worry in his eyes, "My eyebrows have been twitching non-stop. I wonder if it's a good or bad omen."

"What else concerns you?" Mi Kong asked.

The Yellow Eyebrow Supreme hesitated, "Zi Daoist's disappearance in Bloodfall Thousand Cities is indeed strange."

Hearing this, Mi Kong inwardly scorned the Yellow Eyebrow Supreme.

They had discussed this matter numerous times, yet this old man still worried.

"Even if the Blood Lord used the Destiny Slate to slay Zi Daoist, we have... over a thousand Supreme Beings at our command.

Even if the White Emperor comes, he'd still have to be cautious, let alone the Blood Lord!" Mi Kong reassured, feeling helpless.

His lifespan was nearing its end, and he had to succeed.

Over the years, the three Supreme Beings had been working together, gradually sending peak Earth Myths into the No Return City.

Including those who gained enlightenment from the preaching, there were now a total of one thousand five hundred Earth Myths.

It could be said that the prosperity of the No Return City was also due to their contributions.

The Ice Snow Supreme spoke calmly, "If we delay any further, it won't just be us coveting the Blood Lord."

The Yellow Eyebrow Supreme pressed his hand against his twitching eyebrow, "Good!"

Mi Kong laughed, "Let's discuss again how we should distribute the spoils of war."

Discussing this always brought excitement and joy.

After all, this opportunity was even greater than when they achieved the Supreme Realm.

...

On the city walls, the preaching came to an end.

The crowd below sat, some with furrowed brows, others deep in thought.

Qi Yuan stood atop the walls, murmuring softly, "This time, my preaching was much more sincere than the previous ones. Don't let me down."

Qi Yuan's voice trailed off.

Within the fortified city, a man suddenly stood up, and the power of Primordial Energy burst forth from him.

Though his eyes were tightly shut, the joy he couldn't suppress was evident.

He had reached the Supreme Realm!

Some Supreme Beings, awakened from their enlightenment, looked towards the new Supreme Being with complex expressions.

With each Earth Myth who stepped into the Supreme Realm, more and more Supreme Beings appeared, like a spring rain after a long drought.

In just a few hours, over a thousand new Supreme Beings emerged within the fortified city.

This was far more than what the Windflow Realm had accumulated over thousands of years.

Mi Luo Supreme opened his eyes, filled with astonishment.

The impact of witnessing it firsthand far surpassed what he had heard.

He glanced at the Blood Lord on the walls of the No Return City, and a bold thought flashed through his mind.

Soon... he could take his place.

He waited... waited... waited for all his hidden agents to reach the Supreme Realm.

For those who toiled daily, it was a day that felt too short, as if they had just woken up and the day had ended before they could even start playing.

For those who had broken through to the Supreme Realm, the day felt fleeting, almost unreal.

But to Mi Luo Supreme, this afternoon seemed to drag on endlessly.

Finally, as the last Earth Myth reached the Supreme Realm, the over two thousand Earth Myths all stepped into the Supreme Realm.

These two thousand Earth Myths, as usual, bowed towards Qi Yuan in gratitude.

"Thank you, Blood Lord, for your preaching!"

Over a thousand Supreme Beings roared in unison, their voices echoing for dozens of miles throughout the No Return City.

At least in this roar, their gratitude was genuine.

Qi Yuan stood atop the walls, a lazy expression on his face, "It's finally over."

The end was also a new beginning.

As he spoke, a voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.

"It's not over yet," said Mi Luo Supreme, who had been biding his time.

His voice was light and airy, yet it reached everyone's ears, including Qi Yuan's.

As he spoke, the gazes of thousands of Supreme Beings in the arena fixed upon him.

Hundreds of Supreme Beings turned to look at Mi Kong Dazui, their eyes filled with complex emotions.

Some were astonished, others were fearful, and some were perplexed and anxious.

Li Yunzhi stood among the crowd, observing Mi Kong Dazui with a muttering expression, "This guy is finally going to stir up trouble."

There was also concern in his eyes.

Anyone who wasn't a fool could see that numerous Supreme Beings in the arena were heading towards Mi Kong Dazui, seemingly taking sides.

Among them were many veteran Supreme Beings.

Qi Yuan gazed at Mi Kong Dazui, "It's not over yet, hurry up and get it done, I'm busy."

Mi Kong Dazui looked at the calm Qi Yuan, feeling apprehensive, but he knew that at this moment, the arrow had already left the bow and he had no choice but to release it.

He shouted, "Today's matter is between the Blood Lord and me. You all...just watch."

"If you interfere, don't blame me for what happens here!" Mi Kong Dazui spoke harshly.

As his voice rang out, more and more Supreme Beings surged towards him.

Even the veteran Supreme Beings from No Return City joined the crowd around Mi Kong Dazui.

In just a few dozen breaths, over a thousand Supreme Beings gathered around Mi Kong Dazui.

The gathering of over a thousand Supreme Beings exuded an aura that left everyone in awe.

There were also over a thousand Supreme Beings in the arena, but they were like scattered sand, their faces filled with uncertainty and suspicion.

A tall and robust Supreme Being stepped forward, his expression fervent, "What are you all doing? The Blood Lord granted us the insight into Primordial Energy, helping us become Supreme Beings.

You're going to betray the Blood Lord right after entering the Supreme Realm?"

He scolded Mi Kong Dazui and the Supreme Beings behind him.

After his tirade, he roared at the people behind him, "Follow me, everyone!

We outnumber them, and the Blood Lord needs us!"

Among the thousands of Supreme Beings behind him, only a few dozen stepped forward.

The rest had varied expressions, some hesitant, some anxious, and some even considering going to Mi Kong Dazui's side.

Mi Kong Dazui looked at the tall and robust Supreme Being with disdain in his eyes.

Human nature is inherently selfish.

Occasional flashes of brilliance were like the stars in the ancient legends above the firmament.

When the stars disappeared, so did the brilliance.

However, Mi Kong Dazui's eyes still held a smile, "Don't let the Blood Lord deceive you.

The Blood Lord was once a young prodigy, favored by my father, and even my father, Mi Kong Dazui, wanted to betroth my younger sister to him.

But who knew that this person had ill intentions, seducing my sister and tricking my father, Mi Kong Dazui, into giving him a supreme treasure.

It was with the help of that treasure that he achieved his current status.

I've had a long-standing grudge with the Blood Lord, so please don't interfere!"

No matter the time, there should always be some sense of justice.

Sure enough, when this news spread, the Supreme Beings who had initially been hesitant and unwilling to protect the Blood Lord spoke up, "No wonder the Blood Lord could preach. He stole the treasure of Mi Kong Dazui.

Such a despicable person, I refuse to protect him!" Some Supreme Beings found a reason not to protect the Blood Lord, feeling more at ease.

One of them, sensing an opportunity, asked, "Mi Kong Dazui, can we join you in slaying this despicable person?"

"Most welcome," Mi Kong Dazui replied with a smile.

There were also over a thousand Supreme Beings on the opposing side, even more than their own numbers, but those thousand Supreme Beings couldn't unite as one.

They were not to be feared.

Instantly, nearly a hundred more Supreme Beings joined Mi Kong Dazui's side.

Mi Kong Dazui's face glowed with satisfaction.

"Blood Lord...hand over the supreme treasure and commit suicide to atone!" Mi Kong Dazui, accompanied by a thousand Supreme Beings, pressured the Blood Lord.

Qi Yuan stood atop the city wall, his calmness was excessive, "Is it just you? Are there no others?"

"Haha, the Blood Lord is indeed worthy of the title, with exceptional courage and wisdom!"

A hearty laughter echoed.

Three Great Supreme Beings appeared, exuding powerful auras. They descended upon No Return City, protecting the thousand Supreme Beings.

They were Great Supreme Beings, with extraordinary strength.

As the three of them appeared, they were like an iron rod stabilizing the sea, and the Supreme Beings who had just joined Mi Kong Dazui's rebellion felt a sense of reassurance.

These three Great Supreme Beings, standing across from Qi Yuan with a thousand Supreme Beings between them, looked at Qi Yuan with fiery eyes.

At this moment, the Blood Lord was excessively calm.

This further confirmed their suspicions that the Blood Lord had gone mad.

Otherwise, even if the White Emperor were here, they wouldn't be this calm.

These three Great Supreme Beings, even with their confidence, didn't stand in front of the thousand Supreme Beings but remained behind them.

Who knew what terrifying abilities the Blood Lord possessed, and if they were to be replaced, it would be a tragic fate.

"Blood Lord, we three Great Supreme Beings, along with one thousand seven hundred Supreme Beings, send you on your way. Is that satisfactory?" Mi Kong Dazui's face exuded confidence.

Once upon a time, he too could command over a thousand Supreme Beings. As long as the Blood Lord was eliminated, everything...would belong to these three people].

With the help of the Destiny Slate, they were even more powerful than the legendary White Emperor.

Even if they entered the battlefield of the Gate of Ten Thousand Demons, they would have a place, and they could even negotiate with the legendary Supreme Being.

The Supreme Being was so powerful because he possessed a Destiny Slate, wasn't he?

In the arena, Li Yunzhi was deeply concerned, "How will the Blood Lord turn this around? There are one thousand seven hundred Supreme Beings!"

One thousand seven hundred Supreme Beings were like a pile of free cabbage.

Such a formidable force, led by the three Great Supreme Beings, besieged.

Even if the White Emperor were present, they couldn't break free from this deadly situation.

"You'll see..." Wang Gai touched his back, feeling the chilling sensation. It was his turn to take the stage.

At this moment, Qi Yuan stood atop the city wall, a smile spreading across his face, "Do you think that if you scheme against me, I won't notice or be prepared?"

As Qi Yuan spoke, Mi Kong Dazui's heart skipped a beat.

Even the one thousand seven hundred Supreme Beings had a hint of apprehension.

Then, Qi Yuan said, "I've also prepared a grand gift for you all."

Qi Yuan held up a cup and gently tossed it down from the city wall.

As the thousands of Supreme Beings witnessed the scene, they couldn't help but take a step back.

Even the three Great Supremes took a few steps back in fear.

The cup fell from the city wall, making a dull thud as it hit the ground, but nothing else happened.

Wang Gai looked at the intact cup with a peculiar expression.

This was a bit different from what they had agreed upon.

The three thousand Supreme Beings on the field looked at Qi Yuan with trepidation, wondering what he had up his sleeve.

Qi Yuan's voice echoed with a smile, "Alas, I used a silver cup for the signal, and it didn't break. How embarrassing."

Regardless of whether it broke or not... Come out, my gift to you all!"

As Qi Yuan spoke, Mi Kong Dazun, Bing Xue Dazun, and Huang Mei Dazun, who were standing below, felt a chill.

Does he really have a backup plan?

If so... it seems like a battle to the death.

Among the Supreme Beings below, a hundred of them flew up to the city wall.

This hundred included Wang Gai.

These hundred were the Supreme Beings who had witnessed Qi Yuan's abilities before.

Seeing them land on the city wall, Qi Yuan's heart settled, "With them here, what can you do to fight me?"

The three Great Supremes exchanged glances.

The atmosphere was filled with absurdity.

It was normal for the Blood Lord to have a hundred Supreme Beings loyal to him.

But for a hundred Supreme Beings to block a thousand...

Were they idiots?

The three Great Supremes thought that the Blood Lord was truly insane, not just acting, and his illness seemed severe.

They had been wary of this madman for so long, formulating countless plans and contingencies, which now seemed laughable.

Qi Yuan stood on the city wall, facing the thousands of Supreme Beings with a smile.

"To deal with you all, I've formed a band. Isn't that giving you enough face?"

In the Canglan Realm, Qi Yuan had an idea. During the battle, playing some background music would enhance the atmosphere.

Unfortunately, he didn't have so many followers in the Canglan Realm, so he could only use jade slips to play music, which greatly reduced the effect.

Now, as the Blood Lord, he had no shortage of people.

"A hundred Supreme Beings playing music for you, sending you off to your graves. Isn't that stylish enough?"

Qi Yuan snapped his fingers.

The hundred Supreme Beings in blood-red robes stood solemnly, each holding a different musical instrument.

Xiao, flutes, trumpets, drums, suona horns, sheng, cymbals, and erhu... everything was there.

The five at the front, including Wang Gai, held suona-like instruments.

This scene made everyone on the field feel absurd.

"Play!" Qi Yuan stepped forward.

Wang Gai blew into the suona.

A mournful sound echoed.

The suona's wail was like a funeral dirge.

It continued, high-pitched and plaintive.

The hundred Supreme Beings played like funeral musicians, their expressions solemn.

In the dry desert, only the mournful sound of the suona could be heard.

Qi Yuan instantly fell into the rhythm.

"The first time you hear the suona, you don't recognize its sound. The second time, you're already a corpse."

"Unfortunately, I didn't prepare coffins for you, so you can't even call yourselves corpses!"

As the music played, Qi Yuan stepped off the city wall and walked towards the thousands of Supreme Beings.

Qi Yuan sighed inwardly.

With a hundred Supreme Beings playing the suona, his combat strength increased.

Sadly, this couldn't be replicated in the Canglan Realm.

Otherwise, he would gather hundreds of Supreme Beings every day to play the suona outside the Bright Palace.

The thousands of Supreme Beings exchanged glances.

The suona's sound was indeed filled with sorrow, but... this was too much!

Mi Kong Dazun's face turned grim.

This Blood Lord was truly a madman!

"Kill!" Mi Kong Dazun shouted.

The thousands of Supreme Beings hesitated for a moment but finally began to make their move.

Just then, Qi Yuan stopped in his tracks.

"Have you ever seen... a thousand demons running amok, with blood raining from the sky?"

Primordial Divine Art of the Overlord Heart Demon!

In that instant, Qi Yuan, clad in a blood-red robe, unleashed his long-prepared Primordial Energy, like a floodgate opening.

Amidst the suona's wail, blood rained down, falling around the thousands of Supreme Beings.

Seeing this, they instinctively tried to block the blood rain.

But the blood rain seemed intangible, impossible to block or touch.

However, as it fell on them, something terrifying happened!

Qi Yuan, like a blood-red Grim Reaper, sat in the void, his eyes filled with a cruel smile.

"Keep playing, keep killing!"

Primordial Divine Art of the Overlord Heart Demon!

Amidst the suona's sound, countless cries of terror rose. The powerful Supreme Beings seemed like they were facing the most terrifying monster in this world.

Some howled, while others cried uncontrollably.

Terrifying demonic beasts emerged from their bodies.

They were like helpless newborns, unable to resist.

A thousand Supreme Beings, under Qi Yuan's Primordial Energy, were plagued by heart demons.

The mighty army of Supreme Beings, once surging forward, crumbled in an instant.

The mournful music played, representing the unending longing of the living for the dead.

Within the barbican, over a thousand seven hundred Supreme Beings looked ferocious, biting and devouring themselves.

On the field, only the sound of music and the screams of the thousand Supreme Beings could be heard.

For a moment, the scene was eerily surreal.

Li Yunzhi and the remaining thousand Supreme Beings were speechless at this sight.

What... was this?

The heart demons of a thousand Supreme Beings shattered!

Even Mi Luo, the old Supreme Being from No Return City, suffered a miserable fate.

This scene was truly terrifying.

The Blood Lord... was not a natural sacred being, but a... god of slaughter!

The surviving thousand Supreme Beings swallowed hard, their faces filled with fear.

Did this mean that if the Blood Lord wished, he could... slaughter them all in an instant?

Everyone was shocked, watching the miserable Supreme Beings. Their eyes were filled with terror.

The three Great Supremes, seeing this, also showed fear for the first time.

"You... you... what are you?"

The thousand Supreme Beings rushed to their deaths, like demons from the Demon Realm... Was this a scene they could ever witness?

Not even the gods could do this!
