New expansion pack: Blood Rebellion, now open!

Blood Chaos, begins!

"So ruthless?"

Cao Xing looked up in surprise, staring at the terrifying figure in the sky.

Although he had already witnessed the madness of the Watchers, it was still shocking to see.

A leader with Demigod-level combat power burning his blood just like that, without the slightest hesitation.

Although this guy's style of doing things was extreme, his resolve was incredibly firm.

The Watchers Leader was already so powerful; once he activated Blood Burning, his strength would increase several times over!

When that happened, everyone on Cao Xing's side combined would not be a match for him!

This war would also be turned around by the Watchers Leader single-handedly!

Just then, a Watchers Elder who was fighting the Yōulán Queen suddenly spoke.

"Leader, please leave this to us!"

"We have already ignited our blood and have no hope of surviving."

"You still have to lead all of humanity to victory; you absolutely cannot fall here!"

As soon as he finished speaking, one of the Legendary figures suddenly grabbed the longsword in his hand and thrust it violently into his own heart!

"Pfft!"

[-80,000,000]

A pillar of blood instantly shot up, and a massive damage number of eighty million appeared above his head!

And his health was down to the last 31%, which meant he could only survive for another 30 seconds.

This self-mutilating method in turn caused his strength to skyrocket once again!

Endless blood mist enveloped the six Legendary figures.

He actually intended to hold back the Yōulán Queen and the others all by himself!

Another Legendary Watcher was freed up to fight and rushed toward Cao Xing's side at extreme speed.

Below, Cao Xing instantly captured the change in the battle situation.

"Isabelle, stop him!"

At this moment, this Saint Light Sage quickly poured over a hundred drops of top-grade sap into her mouth, barely recovering a portion of her mental power.

Seeing the enemy rushing over, her gaze gradually became firmer.

Then, she raised her staff.

"Buzz!"

A light element shield hundreds of meters high, emitting a brilliant glow, appeared.

It was her boss-level skill—Holy Light Shield.

Now that she had become a Legendary, the destructive power and range of this skill had been greatly enhanced, like a wall of light!

The Legendary Watcher was about to bypass it, but this Holy Light Shield seemed to lock onto its target, arriving in front of him at an eerie speed.

Seeing this, the madness in the Legendary Watcher's eyes grew even stronger!

"You can't stop me!!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he actually stopped dodging and crashed straight into it!

"!"

[-116,181]

The Holy Shield was directly shattered by him, and a damage number exceeding one hundred thousand appeared above the Watchers Elder's head.

If not for the 99% damage reduction, the damage caused by this strike alone would have exceeded ten million.

However, after breaking through the Holy Shield's defense, this Watchers Elder did not attack Cao Xing and the others, but instead rushed toward the blood pool.

With a look of absolute determination in his eyes, he arrived above the blood pool at extreme speed!

At this moment, Cao Xing suddenly seemed to realize something!

He quickly ordered.

"Everyone, use control skills to stop him!"

The moment he finished speaking, Cao Xing took out the Luna Sealing Orb almost without hesitation, wanting to freeze the guy in place.

However, he was still a step too late.

This Legendary Watcher had already braved everyone's attacks and jumped violently into the blood pool.

"Plop!"

The moment he fell into the blood pool, monstrous waves surged up.

Then, this Legendary Watcher began to actively disintegrate, his physical body disappearing into the blood pool in an instant.

After absorbing this Legendary body, the blood pool instantly entered a boiling state.

The portal, which had originally dimmed, suddenly erupted with unprecedented brightness!

"Buzz!!!"

A terrifying aura erupted, preventing even Cao Xing and the others from getting close. Then, a blood-colored portal emitting endless blood energy gradually rose from the blood pool and fully appeared before everyone.

"Splash—crash—"

Everyone could faintly hear the sound of surging waves in their ears.

That portal seemed to connect to another world filled with blood and destruction.

When it appeared, the entire sky was dyed blood-red.

Like a scroll soaked in blood, dark clouds rolled, and thunder roared!

"Rumble! Rumble!"

The appearance of this portal seemed to touch upon some taboo, making this world feel angry!

The Watchers Leader in the sky sighed, "Farewell, Elder Scale Blade, Elder Blood Wing—"

His voice carried a hint of sorrow, as if lamenting the departure of his old friends.

"Your sacrifices will not be in vain—"

"The Gate of Blood has opened!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the blood-colored gate gradually opened, and endless blood surged out of it.

"Splash. Splash…"

The blood surged and poured down from the sky!

Then it fell heavier and heavier, gradually erupting into a massive pillar of blood!

"Rumble!"

This blood pillar, like a sword piercing heaven and earth, shot straight into the sky hundreds of thousands of meters high.

The crimson glow dyed the entire sky red, and even the commoners and Survivors of other kingdoms could see the existence of this blood pillar.

It was as if announcing to the world that a terrible disaster was about to descend!

With the appearance of the first blood pillar, it was as if a chain reaction had been set off.

In the territories of several neighboring kingdoms, some hidden places experienced intense tremors at this moment.

"Rumble…"

Mountains collapsed in the tremors, and the earth split into countless bottomless chasms.

It was as if a large-scale earthquake was sweeping across the entire continent!

When the dust of the tremors gradually settled, ancient teleportation arrays buried deep underground were revealed.

These teleportation arrays were originally dim and lusterless, as if long forgotten by time.

But at this moment, they seemed to be suddenly awakened, bursting with a piercing crimson light!

Immediately afterward, endless blood spewed out from the teleportation arrays, turning into blood pillars that shot toward the sky.

"Buzz! Buzz!"

Pillars of blood soared into the sky from the Orchid Kingdom, the Kunade Kingdom, the Ice Crystal Kingdom, and other places, as if enveloping the entire world in a crimson shroud.

In the regions of several neighboring kingdoms, a large number of powerhouses were awakened one after another, walking out of their secluded chambers or hidden caves.

They stared blankly at the sky, their eyes filled with shock or fear!

Even on the battlefield of the Velun Main City at this moment, these powerhouses stared at the blood-red sky, and the movements of their hands gradually came to a halt.

The Ice Crystal King, the Yōulán Queen, and the others had unprecedented solemnity on their faces.

"I didn't expect that the blood would still appear."

"This time, who knows how many living beings will die in this disaster—" the gnome Legendary sighed.

Meanwhile, the Watchers stared at the crimson portal, each of them incredibly fanatical!

Their leader's gaze was incredibly firm. "I have said it before, no matter what efforts you make or how you struggle, you cannot stop the appearance of the blood."

"This is a part of history!"

"And you, who vainly attempt to disrupt history, will all be cleansed by the blood."

At this moment, Cao Xing did not feel any frustration because of his failure to stop the descent of the Blood Legion.

His gaze was fixed on the positions of these blood pillars, his mind rapidly analyzing the situation.

These blood pillars were extremely widely distributed, covering the territories of six or seven neighboring kingdoms.

In the blink of an eye, their number exceeded thirty, like a giant blood-colored network encompassing all of these kingdoms.

At this moment, Cao Xing seemed to understand something.

"So that's how it is. No wonder after the Blood Legion experienced defeat a thousand years ago, the Watchers still chose to open the Gate of Blood in the same region."

"They had already set up teleportation channels near these kingdoms long ago."

"They were just waiting for the first portal to appear to activate the teleportation arrays in other areas, thereby allowing the Blood Legion to descend on a massive scale!"

At the same time.

The appearance of the blood pillars set off a chain reaction.

Duke Baradin had just walked out of a dark, dense forest at this moment.

Behind him followed a massive army of blue undead.

This undead army walked silently, like spectral existences.

The blue flames dancing in their pupils revealed a cold and solemn aura.

"Stop!"

Duke Baradin suddenly raised his hand.

All the undead stopped instantly, standing in place in perfect unison.

He raised his head, looking at the blood pillar erupting from the Brisbane Wilds ahead, a solemn look appearing in his eyes.

"The blood has appeared once again."

"It seems that the scene from a thousand years ago is about to play out again."

A thousand years ago, the ancient Ascalon Kingdom sank because of the invasion of the Blood Legion.

[part:gemini-3.5-flash-lite]

For these undead, this was their nemesis!

At this thought, a resolute expression appeared on Duke Baradin's face!

He turned around, looked at the silent undead army behind him, and proclaimed loudly,

"All troops assemble, prepare for battle!"

As the words fell, all the Ascalon undead drew their weapons one after another, and the ghost fires burning on their bodies surged drastically!

In a world of complete darkness, there was no light here, nor any sign of life.

Only occasional bursts of whispering could be heard, echoing constantly like the murmurs of ancient gods.

Right at this moment, waves of red light emerged in the sky of the dark world.

The entire world experienced a violent tremor.

"Rumble!!"

A deafening roar echoed across the dark world.

One slumbering ancient entity after another was startled awake!

"Hmm? The rules of the Abyssal Land have loosened—it is the aura of blood!"

A low, raspy voice rang out, as if coming from the deepest depths of the netherworld.

"Is the Blood Chaos about to begin?"

"It really seems to have begun! It looks like trouble is brewing in the Main Plane!"

"It's probably been in chaos for a while now; otherwise, the Blood Legion wouldn't have had any chance to open the portals."

These ancient consciousnesses discussed among themselves.

Their voices carried a hint of surprise and astonishment.

But even more so, there was an uncontainable excitement, as if they had waited for this moment for far, far too long!

Right at that moment, an ethereal, eerie voice rang out.

"Hehehe… Those damned women stripped me of my divine persona and even trapped me here for so long."

"This time, I can finally get out!"

"Just you wait, I will definitely make you pay the price!"

The voice was as chilling as a venomous snake, fraught with endless resentment and madness!

At the same time, another voice echoed from a distant, dark corner.

"Démǔ, you should still keep a low profile after getting out this time; don't overdo it."

"Otherwise, if you attract the attention of those consciousnesses, even with your divine persona, they will obliterate you with a flick of a finger."

"By then, the Nightmare God will completely vanish from this world."

The other party seemed to be reminding him, their tone tinged with a hint of warning.

"Heh… Those damned women don't have the time to care about me right now."

That entity let out a cold laugh.

"Not long ago, the Crystal Dragon died. The balance of the world has been broken, provoking the fury of the other Ancient Dragons."

"If I'm not mistaken, all their power right now is being used to suppress those Ancient Dragons."

"Otherwise, these terrifying beasts would destroy the world in a fit of rage, hahaha!"

He seemed quite pleased with himself.

"And I will take advantage of this opportunity to re-establish the Nightmare Court and amass more followers."

"It won't be long before I condense a new nightmare divine persona and ascend to the realm of divinity once again, hahaha!"

The laughter echoed through the darkness, brimming with madness and ambition.

In the darkness, those ancient consciousnesses also seemed stirred by his words, transmitting faint ripples of longing.

After all, every single consciousness here had been trapped in this place for many years.

The Abyssal Land was also known as the prison of the gods.

Since it was a prison, the conditions naturally weren't great.

Therefore, they all desperately craved a way out.

At the same time, a brilliant light suddenly burst forth from the deepest depths of this dark world.

That light was like the dawn of daybreak, attempting to tear apart this eternal darkness.

However, it was quickly suppressed by an invisible force, as though the existence of any light was forbidden in this world.

Gradually, that radiance condensed into a humanoid figure.

Then, it emitted a majestic voice.

"Démǔ, after getting out this time, remember to help me catch that damned human brat."

"Don't kill him outright; I still need his body."

Hearing this, the Nightmare God replied eerily, "Very well, but as a trade, you need to give me 100 Divine Power Shards."

"100 shards? Why don't you just go rob someone?"

"In the Abyssal Land, divine power is extremely difficult to replenish. Let alone 100 shards, I don't even have 10!"

The Nightmare God appeared quite calm and chuckled, "Uriel, think carefully. There are very few gods who can get out this time."

"Besides me, who else can help you find a suitable vessel to descend into?"

"Of course, if you truly can't cough up 100 Divine Power Shards, you can give me your last copy of the Radiant Sun Scripture instead."

"How about it?"

Upon hearing this, that glowing consciousness fell silent.

Clearly, he was also weighing the Nightmare God's conditions.

On the other side, in a world flowing with filth and overgrown with thorns,

the Demon Lord sat upright upon a throne of bones, likewise feeling the tremors sweeping across the world.

Gazing at the red light overhead, a pensive look crossed his eyes.

"Has blood appeared? It's actually earlier than I expected."

"Next, these crazy bastards will likely slaughter living beings on a massive scale, using that to open more blood teleportation pillars."

"By then, once too many cross-realm passages are opened, it will trigger turbulence in the rules."

"Then comes the moment for entities from various planes to descend upon the Main Plane."

"It seems… this time is going to be quite lively…"

At this thought, the Demon Lord slowly stood up, leaving the throne he had occupied for thousands of years.

A large amount of black liquid continuously oozed from his body. He then stretched his limbs, producing a series of crisp cracking sounds.

"It seems I need to prepare myself as well."

"I just wonder if those little guys managed to find a suitable vessel for me."

Aside from these powerhouses, the over two billion Survivors remaining across the world also realized that the world was changing.

And they couldn't possibly not realize it.

After all, the sky had now turned scarlet, making everyone feel as though they were plunged into a world of blood.

People raised their heads one after another, looking blankly overhead at the pillars of blood piercing the heavens and earth.

Even the World Channel erupted with an overwhelming flood of messages.

Tony Jefferson: "Oh! God, what is happening? Did you all see these pillars of blood too?"

Du Lelong: "Saw them! This looks like a server-wide event!"

Naito Hideyuki: "It just happens to be my birthday today. Did they dye the sky red specially for me? You guys, seriously—"

Fernandez: "My friend from Neon, I think you're overthinking it."

Chen Cao: "My goodness, there's a blood pillar about five kilometers away from me! Brothers, follow me; I'm going to start a livestream right now and take you guys to check out what's near the blood pillar!"

Huangtu: "Brother upstairs, I advise you not to court death."

Just as the Survivors were eagerly discussing what these pillars of blood were,

a series of system prompts appeared.

[All Survivors, please take note! All Survivors, please take note! All Survivors, please take note!]

Three consecutive warnings instantly made everyone realize the severity of the situation.

They all focused intently, waiting for the next prompt to appear.

[Due to unknown reasons, the new expansion pack: Blood Chaos has opened ahead of schedule!]

[In the forbidden land shrouded in blood, there exists a batch of terrifying creatures—they are the Blood Legion!]

[The Blood Legion hails from a world filled with slaughter and bloodshed. Their nature is frenzied, and they take joy in killing!]

[The blood teleportation pillars are the bridges and passages for them to enter this world. Massive numbers of blood troops will appear near each blood teleportation pillar!]

[Upon arriving in this world, they will slaughter more lives, using the vital blood of living beings to open more teleportation pillars and transport even more blood troops over. If not curbed, the entire world will become their bloody slaughterhouse!]

[Your goal is to kill more Blood Legion members and destroy more teleportation pillars at a faster rate than the Blood Legion!]

[Killing Blood Legion members or destroying teleportation pillars will grant rewards such as experience points and military achievements.]

[Please note! The Blood Legion possesses terrifying strength, with a minimum combat power of Tier 5. Among them will be Tier 7 centurions and Tier 8 or higher thousand-man commanders. Please respond with caution.]

[Remaining blood teleportation pillars: 36]

As the series of system prompts concluded,

the chat channel instantly erupted into a massive uproar!
