Chapter 680: Bone Calamity (II)
Just a few hours ago, the Inferno Daemon Invasion Army headquarters in the Golden Core Sector was bustling with activity from the Gods. Now, it overflowed with Godslayer Humans, moving from one place to another, doing all in their power to reinforce the fortress as fast as possible.
The Collapsing Lightning Duke hovered in the sky, a large smile gracing his face as he watched the soldiers work. Once this fortress was completed, they would completely dominate the Golden Core Sector, ensuring the safety of their flank and finally returning to the Zafiro Sector.
Although it was tempting to march straight into the Zafiro Sector, that would not be wise. The path was too long, and without a place to retreat after each battle, they would be unprotected while tending to their wounds and recovering their energies.
While it was good to act decisively, haste makes waste. The Collapsing Lightning Duke understood that very well, and he would not make such a mistake when they were making progress.
The Sector Duke was thrilled with the current situation. Yet, as his gaze shifted to the primary God Tower, a solemn expression appeared, and he couldn't hide his worry.
Cain had informed him that he needed to enter secluded cultivation and should not be disturbed for any reason. Even in an emergency, he could not leave, and it would be up to them to resolve it.
The Collapsing Lightning Duke was the highest leader of the Collapsing Lightning Alliance, and not even the First Collapsing Lightning Pillar or Angar could take such liberties under his command. However, the Sector Duke was at a loss, knowing very well that trying to order the young man against his wishes would be extremely dangerous.
It wasn't just his fighting power that allowed the Collapsing Lightning Duke to command the alliance, but also his acute and keen mind. After spending a month together, the Sector Duke had perceived the true nature of the Scarlet King.
Cain's return was not motivated by some sense of racial honor but by his friends and loved ones. He was growing so rapidly that soon, the empire would have nothing to offer him, much less the ability to restrict him. The best path was just to support him with all their power.
...
Now, on one of the highest floors of the God Tower, Cain stood naked above a pool of boiling golden blood, completely exposed. This chamber was the Blood King's cultivation ground, and the pool contained a special liquid that the True Titan used to cultivate—a combination of blood from extremely powerful life forms mixed with high-level resources.
Making this liquid was extremely complicated, costing the Blood King hundreds of supreme wave crystals. Yet, Cain was now merely taking advantage of it. If the Dark King were to know that, he would surely feel his soul burning with rage.
Cain couldn't care less about what the Blood King could think and focused on the boiling golden blood, ensuring it had adapted to his alterations.
