Chapter 800: Bloodblade
"The Primordial Ancestor has intervened!?"
The moment those words left his mouth, the pupils of both the Sacred Monarch and the Heavenly Emperor in the conference room dilated sharply.
The Primordial Ancestor!? He hadn't shown himself within the Skyblaze Tribe for ages! He actually personally issued an order over a mere human Tyrant?
What had that human Tyrant done to deserve this? Just how lucky was he?
Emperor Tian Yan coldly said, "This time, our focus will be on holding him back. As long as we can stall that human Tyrant long enough, we won't even need Yan Xuan to act. The Divine Race will handle the rest."
"Will they make it in time?" someone asked.
"Under normal circumstances, no," Tian Yan replied. "But don't forget—the Ten Thousand Tribes Dominion War is just around the corner. Li Pin is the human race's hidden trump card in both the Prodigy and Overlord Competitions. Years ago, the Divine Race already planted the Blade of Corruption within the human ranks. They've just been waiting for the right moment. Now that he's stepped into the open on his own, it's as if he's walking to his death."
Even the Heavenly Emperors darkened at the mention of that name.
The Blade of Corruption was the Divine Race's deadliest assassination unit.
"I nearly forgot the Dominion War is tied to the progression of the Three Calamities and Nine Tribulations," someone muttered. "This time, the Sovereign Races will go all out to make sure nothing goes wrong.
"In a war like this, the battle won't be limited to the arena. Covert tactics will be in full play. So long as it helps secure victory, they'll stop at nothing to eliminate any top contender with a real shot."
One of the Heavenly Emperors sneered. "I wonder how many units the Divine Race has embedded in the human race this time—and at what level? Is it the Coldblade Squad, said to be capable of killing even invincible Tyrants? Or the Bloodblade Squad, feared for taking down Sacred Monarchs and even newly ascended Heavenly Emperors?"
