Chapter 862 - 862 The Battle Between Two Powerhouses
862 The Battle Between Two Powerhouses
“That’s right. It’s a good thing for both the Human race and the Orc race to be injured. That will be the most beneficial for our Blood Demon race. Peace brings no benefits to us at all. War is our feast.”
In the blood light, the powerhouses of the Blood Demon race cackled.
To them, this was an incomparable feast, a feast that could be called a fortune.
The Blood Demon race was an extremely strange race. They were born from the bloody baleful aura and cultivated by absorbing the bloody baleful aura. As long as there was enough bloody baleful aura, they could advance by leaps and bounds in the shortest time.
“Alright. This is an opportunity for the Blood Demon race to rise. We should use the gathered bloody baleful aura to spawn as many other clansmen as possible and strengthen our Blood Demon race. This is the most important thing,” The Blood Demon Ancestor sitting on the altar said.
A large number of giant blood-colored eggs were scattered around the altar. One could seem to hear strong heartbeats from these eggs. There were thousands of them, and each of them was crazily devouring the bloody baleful aura. As time passed, the life force in the giant eggs increased at an unbelievable speed as if something was about to be spawned from the giant eggs.
The figures in the blood-red light looked at the giant eggs with excitement and anticipation in their eyes.
These giant eggs were their clansmen and the future of the Blood Demon race.
The Blood Demon race came from eggs. It was a very strange race that required an incomparably huge amount of bloody baleful aura and endless blood essence as nutrition to fully be spawned.
This was also the reason why they appeared below the battlefield.
In their eyes, the Human race and Orc race fighting on the ground were all idiots. They were just food for them to increase their strength.
Crack!
As the bloody baleful aura was absorbed and refined, the giant blood-red eggs in the secret space began to crack open. Savage claws broke out of the giant eggs, and blood-red figures walked out. They let out joyful cries of being born and swallowed the pieces of the giant eggs as if they were supreme delicacies. After swallowing the eggshells, their aura became even deeper.
Immediately after, they began to greedily absorb the bloody baleful aura that was continuously gathering in the surroundings.
“Good! Good! Good!”
Seeing more and more of their clansmen being born, the Blood Demon Ancestor nodded in joy. These were the future of the Blood Demon race. He said loudly, “Absorb more. This fresh bloody baleful aura is a treasure. The more you absorb, the stronger your foundation will be and the greater your future potential will be. You have just been born, you need to eat more. The more you eat, the better.”
“Ancestor, something’s wrong. The bloody baleful aura seems to be decreasing. Has the battle ended?”
Suddenly, a Blood Demon race powerhouse exclaimed.
The speed at which the blood-red altar was absorbing the bloody baleful aura suddenly slowed down, and the amount absorbed decreased.
What was the bloody baleful aura? It was naturally the combination of blood and the baleful aura on the battlefield. The bloody baleful aura was the essence of blood. With the baleful aura as the foundation, any streak of the bloody baleful aura could become an endless Blood Essence that contained a powerful life force. Once absorbed, it would be a precious medicine that brought great nourishment. Of course, it was not something that ordinary people could absorb or refine.
It could only be produced on battlefields, and it had to be the battlefields of transcendent armies.
The Blood Demon Ancestor had to rely on the blood-colored altar beneath him to absorb the bloody aura and baleful aura. Otherwise, although he could devour blood and flesh, as well as blood essence, to strengthen his cultivation and body, the effects couldn’t compare to devouring the bloody baleful aura. Blood, flesh, and blood essence were simply not as pure as the bloody baleful aura which had no impurities.
The ancient scripture that the Blood Demon Ancestor cultivated was the Blood Demon Scripture, a top Blood Art cultivation technique.
Once Blood Demons were formed, they could control the blood of all beings. As long as there was blood, they were immortal and indestructible. They were incomparably powerful. The Blood Demon race relied on fresh blood to exist.
Now, the bloody baleful aura emitted by the battlefield was actually rapidly decreasing. This was not right. Something was very wrong. The Blood Demon Ancestor didn’t want the war to stop.
“All of you stay here. I’ll go and see what’s going on!”
Before the Blood Demon Ancestor finished his sentence, he had already turned into a stream of light and burrowed into the ground.
The blood light traveled underground at an extreme speed. In the blink of an eye, he arrived near the ground and turned into an inconspicuous blood shadow on the battlefield. He swept his gaze across the battlefield.
At a glance, he realized that the Human Army and Orc Army which were supposed to be fighting fiercely on the battlefield had suddenly stopped fighting. The Orc Army had withdrawn from the battlefield and was in a standoff with the Kingdom of Dawn.
After three days and three nights of non-stop killing, the battlefield was littered with corpses. Blood had dyed the ground red, turning the soil into red bloody mud.
Li Xiang and Behemoth King stood across from each other.
“Behemoth King, although your Orc Alliance Army has an astonishing number of soldiers and you can command tens of thousands of fierce beasts, it’s still impossible for you to break through my Great Wall of Iron Blood! For you, the best outcome is that both sides will suffer. Rather, there’s even a possibility for you to be completely wiped out. I don’t think you want to see such an outcome. But if you leave, you will obviously not be satisfied. At the same time, you have invaded the Kingdom of Dawn. I cannot just allow you to leave either.”
Li Xiang’s eyes were calm as he spoke in a deep tone.
They were attacked for no reason, and the battle lasted for a few days and nights, making them suffer countless casualties. Then, the other party realized that they could not get the results they yearned for and wanted to leave just like that?
How could there be something so good in the world?
Being treated this way, no matter who it was, even if it was the kindest person, they would fly into a rage on the spot, let alone Li Xiang who was not good at holding back his temper.
For every grievance, he would return tenfold or even hundredfold!
Therefore, if the Orc Alliance Army wanted to leave just like that, he would definitely not allow it.
Of course, with Behemoth King’s personality, he wouldn’t retreat just like that either. This Orc race’s King was quite concerned about his reputation. He hadn’t managed to save his son, and his army had suffered heavy casualties. He had wanted to take down, or even destroy, the Kingdom of Dawn under the guise of saving his son. If he escaped in the end, it would be a huge blow to his reputation.
However, if they continued to fight, it would be obvious that both sides would suffer. No one knew what trump cards the other party had, and they could not help but be in a dilemma for a moment.
“Do you mean that you want to fight with me personally to determine the victor?” Behemoth King looked at Li Xiang coldly and asked.
Before he came, he didn’t expect the Kingdom of Dawn to be so difficult to deal with.
This time, the Orc Army had suffered millions of casualties, while the casualties of the fierce beasts were in the tens of millions. They had suffered such a great loss, but they had not even broken through the Great Wall of Iron Blood. This already had a negative impact on his ability and prestige.
The remaining soldiers were all elites who had been bathed in blood on the battlefield. Behemoth King was quite reluctant to send them to the battlefield again. After all, those were the treasures and the essence of the various races. At this point, even if he was willing to send those people to the battlefield, the powerhouse of the other races would not agree.
