Chapter 562
The once vibrant Tiancheng was now shrouded in a blood-red haze, its contours blurred and indistinct. Bloodlines fell from the sky, remnants of a great terror, staining the heavens crimson.
In the center of the sky, a red and yellow rift slowly began to open.
Neither the Celestial Clan nor the warriors of the Earth City could discern what was happening within the roiling blood clouds above. They only knew that the cold moonlight flickered intermittently, accompanied by a surge of battle intent, followed by an even heavier downpour of blood rain.
“This blood rain feels wrong!”
Dong Ge Yu suddenly shivered.
A wave of malevolence surged within her, a strange and powerful energy filling her body. She quickly grew taller, horns sprouting from her head.
And suddenly, she had an overwhelming urge to graze.
“I... have turned into...”
Dong Ge Yu pulled a mirror from her pocket, her voice trembling with shock:
“A Minotaur!?”
She was not alone; the others wielding blades were also gradually transforming into demons.
The Celestial Clan remained unchanged, though their auras had weakened.
This meant that the warriors of the Earth City and the mortals of the Human City, once tainted by the blood rain, would likely become demons!
“Didn’t you rely on the power of all beings?”
The voice of the Blood God echoed from the void, laced with anger and mockery:
“Now, all beings have been reborn as demons by my blood. Where will your power of all beings come from?”
“If you refuse to leave with me, then you shall perish with this realm...”
His voice faded slowly.
Before departing, it seemed he cast a deep glance at Ying Bing.
The Blood God fell silent, but the blood clouds and the rift within them remained.
“Why is the rift still expanding without the support of any remains?”
Li Mo understood that the Blood God had entered the rift, and when he returned, he would be even more terrifying.
But he couldn’t grasp what force could be stronger than the Blood God, capable of tearing apart the Tianhuang Domain.
He wanted to ask Bing Tuozi, but she had remained silent, her gaze fixed on the sun above.
The sun, obscured by the blood clouds, appeared strangely otherworldly.
A fleeting glimmer of understanding crossed Li Mo’s eyes.
Someone wanted to trap Bing Tuozi within the Tianhuang Domain, but his appearance had thwarted their plans.
Now, they had chosen a more reckless approach...
Though the Blood God and this entity were adversaries, they had both made the same choice when faced with Bing Tuozi.
To destroy the Tianhuang Domain, along with everything within it!
Ying Bing turned to Li Mo, her voice soft and gentle:
“You...”
“You said Bing Tuozi doesn’t deceive naive fools.”
“.....”
Ying Bing pressed her lips together, wanting to maintain a calm demeanor, assuring him that she wouldn’t trick him.
But when faced with his piercing gaze, she realized that all her reassurances had lost their meaning.
“But your spirit and energy are depleted, and your power of all beings is exhausted. Staying here won’t help...”
“It’s okay, I still have a way.”
“What way?”
“The Art of Combat King.”
“Stop joking.” Ying Bing, unusually anxious, reached out to pinch his waist, but he instead pulled her into his embrace.
She froze for a moment but didn’t pull away.
“Bing Tuozi, can you pull that fire stick out and project the small world into the outside? Is that possible?”
“It is possible, but the Tianhuang Domain isn’t a real world like the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths. You haven’t reached the inner realm yet...”
Ying Bing lowered her head, her voice soft:
“You won’t be able to withstand it.”
“What will happen?”
“If the inner realm collapses, your physical body will perish, your spirit will dissipate. The best outcome is losing all your power and becoming weaker than when you hadn’t practiced martial arts, and the worst outcome...”
Ying Bing closed her eyes, unwilling to continue.
“Then that’s fine.” Li Mo sighed in relief.
Ying Bing’s previously conflicted expression, now slightly dazed, had a charming quality, as if she had lost her soul.
One could suggest that Bing Tuozi’s version of a big-headed doll should reference this expression.
“As long as we can still get married.”
Ying Bing only heard the lightness in his tone, while he felt her hold on him tighten.
Tight enough that she pressed against his heart, close enough to hear its steady rhythm.
After a moment, she finally looked up:
“I understand.”
She left, plunging into the impenetrable blood clouds with the Tianhuang Domain.
Li Mo watched her ethereal figure, wrapped in moonlight as she departed, and reached to touch his heart, where a lingering fragrance and a damp trace remained.
It was reasonable for ice to melt and leave a few drops of water...
He exhaled and called out below:
“Everyone, come in!”
The people of Mo City had also been affected by the blood rain, transforming into demons, but their martial arts were originally derived from demons.
So they not only retained their sanity but grew stronger.
The Celestial Clan members turned pale, realizing that their struggles for the imperial throne were meaningless.
The increasingly potent malevolent aura from the rift left them with no courage to resist.
“This world is about to perish. Under a collapsed nest, how can there be unbroken eggs? I don’t know what the outcome will be, but it will definitely be worse than now.”
Li Mo’s gaze swept across the map:
“There isn’t much time left. Leave the Blood God to me, and I’ll entrust the rest to you all.”
“What do you need us to do?”
Po Jun, representing the Celestial Clan, spoke up. They had no way out; Li Mo, an outsider, had stayed, and so should they.
The blade-wielders of Mo City... well, the demons, needed no further explanation.
“The Celestial Clan should go to various places in the Tianren City realm and use your innate powers to maintain it, preventing it from falling apart in the short term.”
“Everyone from Mo City, go to the places where the blood rain has fallen and do what you do best.”
“Oh, and make sure to wear the blade-wielders’ insignia to distinguish yourselves from the real demons.”
The brief meeting concluded, and everyone dispersed to their designated locations.
If they didn’t hurry, the stars would shift, and the map might soon lose its significance.
The entity within the rift would also return...
Once everyone had left, the world fell eerily quiet.
In this apocalyptic scene, there was an unusual stillness.
Li Mo sat in place, regulating his breath, trying to buy every moment to recover his strength.
After a while.
He faintly sensed a ripple above him and silently withdrew the fire stick that had been stuck in place for a long time.
Strangely enough, this time there was no resistance; it seemed to have been waiting for a long time.

Chapter 640: The Law of Heaven and the Phenomenon of Earth!
P.S.: I missed a chapter yesterday; it has been added to the previous one.
Fighting is a weak point for me, and it takes me longer to write, so I apologize.

He was doomed.
After the Blood God captured Li Mo in his grasp, this was what he thought.
This body had long since perished and had been suppressed for years. Now, even with Ying Bing’s shackles placed upon him, he still believed that no physical body in the world could surpass his.
The sacred true dragon body of the Great Yu was modeled after his myriad forms.
A mere child at the threshold of the fourth realm, if not for that stick and that armor having immense origins, he wouldn’t even qualify to stand before him.
“Could it be a treasure from the heavenly realm?”
The Blood God had seen countless prodigies.
But someone like Li Mo was truly unprecedented...
Just then, the Blood God suddenly felt a heat radiating from his palm, as if he were holding a blazing star core, and it grew hotter, as if transforming into the sun.
Within the blood clouds, an unknown world’s sky appeared, containing six stars, one of which was the moon.
No, not six, but seven; the last one was...
“Inner realm projection... no... this isn’t the landscape of the heart... nor the external scenery...”
As the Blood God felt astonished, the greed in his eyes overshadowed his caution.
A real world, more real than the Tianhuang Domain?
Wasn’t this what the Nine Immortals had always sought, something only Huang Tian had the chance to achieve...
Boom—
His palm exploded in layers of blood mist, and the malevolent, decayed aura surged wildly.
The nascent world began to unravel from the moment it descended; this power was something even he struggled to bear.
The treasure that the Nine Heavens Immortals coveted was being destroyed, yet its master remained unfazed, his gaze filled with even greater battle intent.
Little Li knew the small world was collapsing.
Li Mo also understood the vast disparity between them.
He was acutely aware that the other party could be called the ancestor of horizontal training in the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths.
He needed to understand what it meant to be between life and death.
What the great calamity of heaven and earth truly was.
