Chapter 1331: Original Sword Archon (1)
Countless dazzling stars shimmered across the void, their brilliance outshining those in the River of Universes by trillions of times. A million of these celestial bodies orbited around a vast Eternal Realm—the domain of the Blood Emperor.
As co-leader of the Blood Dream Alliance, his Eternal Realm served as a critical waypoint for True Saints and Saints of the faction traversing the cosmic sea. A constant stream of eternal powerhouses passed through this nexus.
Near the Eternal Realm, beside a blindingly brilliant star, stood a figure in blood-red robes, waiting patiently. Despite his dominating aura, he appeared almost insignificant next to the star's radiance.
Spacetime suddenly rippled and surged. The blood-robed figure turned sharply, his gaze fixing on a white-robed silhouette materializing at the void's edge.
The newcomer, emitting an ephemeral aura and wearing a faint smile, radiated a danger that made the blood-robed figure tremble inwardly.
"Dao Zenithel Ming Jian," the blood-robed figure forced a smile, his tone decidedly polite.
"Blood Emperor, there’s no need for formalities," Wu Yuan's mana body replied with an easy smile. "Logically speaking, I'm a member of the Blood Dream Alliance. You're the Second Alliance Leader, which makes me your subordinate."
Both Wu Yuan's mana body and qi refiner self had reached the Dao Zenithel stage. Unless they stood side by side, revealing the subtle differences in their vital essence, even other Dao Zenithels couldn't distinguish between them.
"Dao Zenithel Ming Jian, please don't mock me," the Blood Emperor said wryly. "Daoist Tian Xu is your senior. How can I compare? If you think well of me, just call me Xue Hai."[1]
"Xue Hai?" Wu Yuan nodded slightly.
The Eldritch Court's intelligence archives identified the Blood Emperor as a naturally-born eternal lifeform, a sea of blood capable of splitting into trillions of clones. This granted him an innately powerful physical defense and terrifying self-preservation abilities from birth.
Among the twenty-odd Full Dao Zenithel powerhouses in the cosmic sea, if Great Emperor Yan Tuo's self-preservation ranked first, the Blood Emperor's would certainly be in the top three. Of course, Wu Yuan's body refiner self now had to be factored into these rankings as well.
