Tyrant Sky Martial Soul

Ling Xiao’s silhouette flickered among the crowd, with corpses falling to the ground like a rain of blood.

After that, he could feel a stream of warmth continuously pouring into his body.

”Indeed a bit less, but still more than what I would gain from practicing meditation.”

Ling Xiao muttered silently in his heart, discovering that his cultivation level had once again broken through.

40% Yin-Yang Elemental Force!

This was astonishingly fast.

He felt immensely fortunate for coming to the Black Crow Empire this time.

If he hadn’t come, he really wouldn’t have had such an opportunity.

Ninety-nine offspring, ninety of them were dead, leaving only the nine strongest ones.

Their cultivation level reached 40% Yin-Yang Elemental Force.

Previously, they could still cause some trouble for Ling Xiao.

But with the improvement in Ling Xiao’s cultivation, they now had no ability to resist.

However, Ling Xiao, who was attacking, suddenly stopped.

He had finally discovered the bizarre situation on the Black Desert.

It was normal for the blood to be absorbed.

After all, it was a desert.

But the frequently flickering mysterious black inscriptions and symbols were quite unsettling.

The Blood Relative Prince seemed to have also noticed this.

However, unlike Ling Xiao’s astonished reaction.

The guy actually did something that left everyone dumbfounded.

He killed all his remaining nine sons.

Then he lay down on the Black Desert, shouting in an almost frenzied voice: ”Oh, dark land, great Blood Demon God, your humble servant has always believed that the legend is true.

Now, your servant is willing to use the blood of a hundred sons to offer a blood sacrifice to you, hoping you will accept it.”

”Not enough! Still not enough!”

A terrifying voice came from the ground, and both armies suddenly froze.

Ling Xiao sensed the severity of the situation, turned back, and said, ”Xie Li, lead the army to retreat from this Black Desert immediately. I feel something terrible is about to happen.”

”But Your Majesty, what about you?”

Xie Li asked.

”Don’t worry about me; take them away first. These warriors have already proven their loyalty and bravery on the battlefield. From now on, they are soldiers of the Heavenly Dynasty Empire and should be treated equally. Go, but make sure to keep a close watch on the situation here.”

Ling Xiao ordered, ”This is an order, the will of the Heavenly Emperor, and it cannot be defied!”

”Understood!”

Xie Li nodded helplessly and commanded the army to retreat.

The remaining hundred thousand troops of the Blood Relative Prince did not pursue.

Because something strange had occurred.

As the terrifying voice came from the ground, the martial artists of the Blood-sucking Bat Clan were entangled by black inscriptions and then dragged into the pitch-black desert.

Including the Blood Relative Prince himself, who also sacrificed himself in the blood ritual.

This terrifying scene left even Ling Xiao staring in shock.

”Your Majesty, quickly leave. Either retreat to the Heavenly Dynasty Empire’s territory or go to Black Crow City. We can’t stay here. Who would have thought the legend was true? All these years, everyone thought it was just a joke.”

”Alan? Why didn’t you leave?”

Ling Xiao turned around and saw Alan appearing beside him.

”Your Majesty, if you want to stay, I am your best guide.”

Alan replied.

”Indeed.”

Ling Xiao had to admit that Alan’s words made sense. Then, he gently touched the Beast Ring on his hand, and a Golden Eagle flew out from it.

”That’s it, it’s the Golden Eagle of Captain Woodward!”

Alan exclaimed in surprise.

”That’s right, this creature almost got killed by Wu Mu Tu Ying. I saved it, so after its master was killed, it followed me. There’s no time to explain further; everyone get on, Alan, tell me, what exactly is the legend of the Black Land?”

Ling Xiao briefly explained how he obtained the Blue-eyed Golden Eagle, then steered the conversation to that terrifying legend.

”There’s no time, Your Majesty, wherever you’re going, we must leave immediately, or it will be too late.”

Alan anxiously shouted.

”Let’s go to Black Crow City, regardless of what happens, this plan cannot change.”

Ling Xiao thought for a moment and said.

”Alright!”

The Blue-eyed Golden Eagle let out a cry and then flew towards the direction of Black Crow City.

But just at that moment, a beam of black light attacked from the desert.

It was extremely fast.

Luckily, Ling Xiao reacted quickly, using the Dark Demon Sword to deflect it, preventing the eagle from being directly pierced.

However, even so, they were almost knocked to the ground.

Ling Xiao looked down as he bent over.

On the ground appeared a strange creature.

In the spot where the Blood Relative Prince had vanished, a mass of blood shadow appeared, from which the black light had been emitted.

Thud!

Another black light came rushing.

But this time, Ling Xiao was thoroughly prepared, and he fiercely slashed down with the Dark Demon Sword.

Despite being knocked back several meters, the eagle was not affected.

”You two step back a bit.”

Ling Xiao instructed, his gaze fixed firmly on the blood shadow on the ground.

Soon, the blood shadow became clearer.

The figure of the Blood Relative Prince appeared.

But now, the Blood Relative Prince looked entirely different from before.

His back, which had black wings, had turned blood-red.

A pair of scarlet horns had grown on his head.

His body had grown from about two meters to around four meters; his burly frame and menacing face made him look more like a terrifying monster.

At the same time, the terrifying aura of darkness and death around him grew even stronger, almost identical to that of the Black Desert’s underground.

”What the hell?”

Ling Xiao felt like he’d been riding a Flying Sword all day, up and down, utterly thrilling.

”Your Majesty, be careful; this creature might be the legendary ’Blood Demon,’ similar to the Heavenly Demon, Earth Demon, Human Demon, and Insect Demon, creatures from the war of ancient times.

The Heavenly Demon and Insect Demon come from beyond the heavens.

The Earth Demon hails from Hell.

The Human Demon is formed from the demonic transformation of martial artists of the Ten Thousand Clans.

The Blood Demon was born from the blood and resentment of the Ancient Battlefield, so it’s nearly impossible to eradicate; wherever there is war, there will be Blood Demons.

Commonly, Blood Demons have no physical form; they are but a mass of blood shadow, but like the Heavenly Demon, they can also possess others.

Moreover, the most terrifying thing is that they can enhance the possessed beings through blood.

This matches the legend exactly.”

From a distance, Alan explained to Ling Xiao from atop the Blue-eyed Golden Eagle.

”Tsk tsk, the dignified Blood Relative Prince, actually controlled by a Blood Demon, what a disgrace. But it seems like he brought it upon himself.”

Ling Xiao observed that the Blood Relative Prince’s eyes had lost their former luster, with only slaughter and hatred remaining, and he knew that the man was under control.

Most likely, the same fate awaited those hundred thousand troops under his command.

Only this man’s strength was formidable enough for rapid transformation, while those weaker individuals had a slower transformation rate.
