Chapter 723: Self-Upgrade (7)

On the Blood Ancestor's pale face, the ecstatic smile froze.

He slowly turned his stiff neck, his crimson eyes staring fixedly at the pale, panting man beside him.

That invisible force pinning him firmly in place was emanating precisely from Mr. Duan!

"Duan!"

The Blood Ancestor's voice became sharp, carrying a hint of incredulous fury, "What on earth do you mean?!"

"Didn't you say you wanted me to work together with you to resist the Heavenly Dao?"

"What are you trying to do now?!"

Facing the Blood Ancestor's questioning, Mr. Duan merely raised his hand unhurriedly, gracefully smoothing back a strand of hair at his temples that had been somewhat disheveled by the thunder.

His movements were unhurried, as if he didn't feel the Blood Ancestor's man-eating gaze at all.

"I did indeed say that back then, that's correct."

Mr. Duan's face once again wore that polite yet aloof smile. He looked at the Blood Ancestor as if looking at a worn-out tool.

"However, your purpose has been served."

"This is the end."

Hearing this, the Blood Ancestor's pupils shrank abruptly, and an extreme chill shot straight from his lean spine all the way up to his crown!

He finally realized that the development of events was completely different from what he had expected!

"You… You…"

Before he could organize his words, Mr. Duan's calm and cruel voice sounded once again.

"Your remaining value is only to be absorbed by me and become mine."

Mr. Duan's lips curved up slightly, revealing a row of white teeth, his smile as gentle as an erudite mentor instructing his students.

"You like this can also be considered… to resist the Heavenly Dao together with me."

Boom—!

This light sentence, like a divine thunder from the Nine Heavens, fiercely struck the Blood Ancestor's mind!

He was completely dumbfounded!

It took a full three seconds for him to react to the undisguised, naked malice in Mr. Duan's words!

"Duan! You despicable, untrustworthy scum!!!"

The Blood Ancestor fell into complete frenzy, his pale face distorted and deformed by extreme anger, his crimson eyes shooting out frantic killing intent and malice.

"To think that I trusted you so much!!"

"To think that I lent you the Origin power accumulated over countless years to resist the Heavenly Dao!"

"You fucking… were plotting against me from the very beginning?!!"

He roared crazily, trying to mobilize the remaining power in his body to break free from the restraints. However, that high-dimensional Law force was like bone-gnawing maggots, firmly suppressing all his resistance.

Facing the Blood Ancestor's curses, Mr. Duan merely sneered.

The smile on his face disappeared, replaced by an extreme indifference, an iciness as if looking at a dead object.

"The feeling is mutual."

"You merely wanted to borrow my hand to help you break free and achieve Rebirth."

"However, I'm sorry…"

"Your role has already wrapped up."

"It's time for the curtain to fall."

The moment his voice fell, Mr. Duan raised his right hand, which was covered in dense cracks, and across a distance of several meters, clenched his five fingers fiercely toward the Blood Ancestor!

"Ah—!!!"

An indescribable, terrifying squeezing force instantly acted upon the Blood Ancestor's entire body!

Under that irresistible force, his bones made a teeth-gritting "crack" sound, shattering inch by inch!

That lean body, as if gripped by an invisible giant hand, began to twist and collapse inward out of control!

"Duan! I curse you! I curse you to never reincarnate for all eternity!"

Under the excruciating pain, the Blood Ancestor let out an extremely shrill scream and curse.

However, at the exact moment when his body was about to be completely squeezed into a ball of blood!

The instinct for survival made him burst out with his final power!

"Explode!"

Accompanied by a resolute roar, the Blood Ancestor's body exploded with a boom!

He actually forcefully detonated his remaining Physical Body!

"Boom—!"

The violent blood-colored energy shockwave spread in all directions, temporarily breaking open Mr. Duan's Law confinement.

Following that, the mass of exploded flesh and blood turned into hundreds of millions of blood-colored mists so tiny that they were almost invisible to the naked eye, fleeing frantically in all directions like startled schools of fish!

"Hahahahaha!"

The Blood Ancestor's frantic laughter rang out simultaneously from every single grain of blood mist, echoing across the entire Falling Star Valley!

"Duan! You can't kill me!"

"As long as a single drop of my blood escapes, I will be able to recover once again!"

"Just wait for my endless revenge! I will give you no peace ever again! Hahahahaha!"

Countless blood mists tore through the air, emitting a piercing screech—a scene sufficient to drive any trypophobia sufferer crazy on the spot.

In the distance, Andrew and the others, who had just recovered from the Law shock, turned pale with fright upon seeing this scene.

Such a bizarre and immortal escape method was simply unheard of!

Facing this seemingly irrecoverable situation, not a shred of panic could be seen on Mr. Duan's face.

He couldn't even be bothered to make the motion of chasing.

He simply watched quietly as those blood mists fled frantically, a mocking arc curling at the corner of his lips, as if watching a comical monkey show.

Until those blood mists were about to escape the range of Falling Star Valley.

Mr. Duan slowly raised his left hand.

Then.

Towards this heaven and earth, he snapped his fingers gently.

"Snap."

At this moment, the crisp snapping sound seemed to become the only sound between heaven and earth.

Hum—!!!

An invisible yet indestructible Law barrier, centered around Mr. Duan, instantly shrouded a space of a hundred miles in radius!

The entire Falling Star Valley, along with dozens of surrounding mountain ranges, was completely sealed off at this moment!

Those blood mists that had been fleeing frantically the second before slammed into an invisible wall and paused abruptly!

Following that, time seemed to be pressed with a pause button.

Those hundreds of millions of blood-colored mists were thus abruptly frozen in mid-air!

The trajectory of every single grain of blood mist and every tumbling posture were clearly visible, as if transformed into a bizarre and peerless static scroll.

"No… No!!!"

The Blood Ancestor's frantic laughter came to an abrupt halt, replaced by extreme fear and despair originating from the depths of his Soul!

He could feel that all connections between himself and this world were completely cut off at this moment!

He had been locked into an absolutely sealed cage!

"No! This is impossible! What kind of power is this?!"

The Blood Ancestor screamed in terror.

Mr. Duan did not answer him.

He merely opened his mouth and took a gentle breath toward the blood mist frozen all over the sky.

Whoosh—!

A suction force so powerful it was irresistible erupted from Mr. Duan's mouth!

Those hundreds of millions of frozen blood mists, as if finding a vent, turned into torrents of blood, surging uncontrollably and frantically into Mr. Duan's mouth!

"Ahhhhh! No! Don't devour me!"

"Duan! You devil! You won't die a good death!"
