Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 1686: Chapter 1688: The Familiar Blood Emperor

A voice emerged.

The voice was full of brutality, slaughter, and anger, spreading instantly across the entire island!

In an instant, many who were already on the verge of collapse, even about to lose their sanity to the blood Qi, transformed into blood people!

The captain of the Exploration Team also heard this voice. Immediately, the hair on his body stood up: ”Not good, I guessed right. As expected, there are blood people born with intelligence here! Run quickly!”

He didn’t need to look to know that this blood person was definitely at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage!

Yes, the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, the existence that none of them dared to look up to!

Don’t ask him how he knows; the first batch of fallen big shots were all at the Transcendance Tribulation Stage. Could they have been born with intelligence, yet still at the Golden Core Stage?

That person has stirred up trouble now!

Over at Bone Mountain, Bai Qi frowned immediately upon hearing this voice: ”So it’s him...”

Then he looked at the few remaining people on the Bone Stairs and frowned: ”No time to play with you all!”

After speaking, he soared into the air, heading straight for the core!

Among the blood people.

Those blood people seemed to have taken a powerful tonic after hearing the shout, each looking extremely excited!

And surprisingly, they stopped attacking Lu Xiaobu!

Ultimately, they even made way and left a path!

”This blood person born with intelligence, quite interesting!” Xiang Yu said excitedly.

”Brother Yu, don’t be careless; very strong!” Yue Fei shook his head, frowning. ”Why would such a monster be born here?”

Despite their thoughts, they continued along the path!

No matter what was ahead, they had to reach the core!

Advancing steadily!

The blood people on both sides grew stronger!

Starting from the late Nascent Soul stage, to the early, middle, and late Out-of-Body stages, and then to early, middle, and late Divine Separation stages!

After the Divine Separation stage ended, their numbers dwindled significantly!

Together, the early, middle, and late Body Integration Realm had a total of twelve!

Beyond that, the legendary Transcendance Tribulation Stage remained!

Three!

By the time Lu Xiaobu reached here, he could already see the core!

A huge heart-like structure, akin to an organ, extended tubes like blood vessels connecting to the ground.

Is this the core?

It was Lu Xiaobu’s first time seeing this thing, feeling very curious!

”This is the core,” Yue Fei explained proactively. ”The core generally has a heart structure, but some exist underground, and others aboveground.”

”You can understand it this way: our world is full of planets; each planet has a core, and each island here is equivalent to one of our planets!”

”Whoa... You guys even know about planets?!” Lu Xiaobu was shocked.

My goodness, weren’t celestial planets only something modern science had discovered?

”We didn’t know when we were in the Heavenly Dynasty, but after being here for so long, wouldn’t we learn and analyze?” Yue Fei laughed.

”Alright.” Lu Xiaobu waved his hand—You’re impressive!

”Now is not the time to talk about that. Even the Transcendance Tribulation Stage blood people are working for that blood person... No, calling them the Blood Emperor seems more appropriate. How strong is the Blood Emperor?!” Zheng He frowned and said, ”I’m afraid we cannot defeat it!”

If they were all alive, perhaps they could fight, but now, at most, they were just self-aware soul fragments, and all power came from Lu Xiaobu.

Even if Lu Xiaobu’s power was utilized to its fullest by them, it couldn’t win against it!

It’s a big problem!

”Whatever the case, we’ll figure it out once we get there,” Li Bai stated, carefree.

Talking while walking, they finally approached near the heart!

It was only then that they saw that the huge heart had a throne on it, and a person sat upon the throne!

Unable to see the face clearly, but felt a sea of red!

”Outsiders, are you the ones slaughtering my people?”

The blood-red shadow on the throne, the Blood Emperor, spoke again.

As he spoke, the dense blood Qi around them began rushing towards them, seemingly wanting to consume their souls and turn them into blood people!

”Who are you?” Lu Xiaobu frowned, asking.

Something inexplicably felt familiar about this shadow?!

How’s that possible?!

A blood person, how could he know them?!

”Who am I? I am myself! The ruler here!”

The Blood Emperor sneered, ”You all are quite bold to still dare question me?”

”Your strength isn’t bad; stick around, become my people!”

As he spoke, not only did the blood Qi move this time, but even the blood people started moving!

At this rate, they would seize them the next second!

”We’re in trouble now!” Xin Qiji chuckled wryly.

Who could have thought there’d be such an existence here!

If all were mindless beings, they might have found a way to approach regardless of these three Transcendance Tribulation Stages.

But who knew a dangerous card would emerge halfway!

And just then.

”Boom!”

A monstrous killer aura suddenly surged from behind!

This intense aura even sidelined the surrounding blood Qi, briefly bringing clarity here.

”Bai Qi is here! He’s the strongest! Let’s see what he’s got!” Xiang Yu muttered.

It was quite difficult for him to admit Bai Qi was strongest!

After all, he was the Chu Overlord!

But there was no choice; Bai Qi arrived earlier, cultivated longer, and was stronger—a factual reality!

Though now, they were just a pile of soul fragments!

Indeed, Bai Qi arrived quickly, coming to Lu Xiaobu’s side in the blink of an eye.

He didn’t choose to possess Lu Xiaobu but quietly stood beside him.

He looked up, complex emotions in his eyes, staring at the Blood Emperor!

The Blood Emperor, seeing Bai Qi arrive, remained silent, his eyes somewhat confused.

After a long while.

”I never thought it would be you who was born with intelligence, ruling these blood people,” Bai Qi spoke.

Upon hearing this, and witnessing the scene, Li Bai and the others were stunned: ”Does Brother Bai Qi know the Blood Emperor? No, are they mutually known?!”

What is this?!

Bai Qi and the Blood Emperor know each other?!

Looking at their atmosphere, they surely do!

The Blood Emperor even stopped attacking!

But it’s puzzling!

Wasn’t the Blood Emperor born with intelligence from blood people later?! How does he know Bai Qi?

Everyone was confused!

Only Lu Xiaobu’s pupils expanded, looking incredulously at the Blood Emperor and then at Bai Qi, wondering if...

He contemplated an unlikely possibility!

Then, that notion was confirmed!

”I can’t believe my body would be born with intelligence anew, truly curious!” Bai Qi remarked.

Everyone was shocked, pupils constricted!

The Blood Emperor turned out to be Bai Qi!

More accurately, Bai Qi’s flesh!
