Vrhoom!

A dark reddish flame was ablaze on Luo Li’s body, completely enveloping her within itself. From afar, she seemed like an enormous red torch extending from the earth to the skies. As the red flames encased Luo Li’s body, dark crimson droplets of blood trickled down from her hand, dripping into the Luo River.

Drip… Drip…

The Luo River was formed in the ancient times. When the founding ancestor of the Luo God Clan fell, they transformed into this very river. However, its power could only be called upon by the purest royal blood of the Luo God Clan.

As the blood dripped into the Luo River, the redness in the river turned brighter and brighter. A stream of bright red light spots floated upward unceasingly, gathering around Luo Li upon the White Jade Stage, and the flames engulfing her burned more and more intensely.

Luo Tianshen stood to Luo Li’s right, his pale face unusually tense. He looked at the boiling Luo River. It was rumored that the purer the royal blood of the Luo God Clan member, the easier it was to resonate with the Luo River, granting one purer strength.

Luo Li currently had the purest royal blood in the Luo God Clan. This had been tested as soon as she was born. As such, Luo Tianshen believed that the Luo God Ritual conducted by Luo Li would be different from before.

Luo Tianshen squinted as he glanced at the sky in the distance. A glint of fear dashed through his eyes. He knew that the enemy, like crouching tigers, must’ve been spying in the dark. If they were to find out that Luo Li’s Ritual was beyond their imagination, they would most definitely wreck havoc to disrupt it. However, Luo Tianshen planned to stop that from happening!

Luo Li was the Luo God Clan’s final hope. If any mishaps were to happen to her, the Luo God Clan she had gathered again would crumble instantly. When that time came, the Luo God Clan would be history.

Although he was an Upper Earthly Sovereign, the heavy injuries he had had shaved away some of his vitality. Even his position and fame in the clan had fallen as a result. Otherwise, he would’ve forced the three Earthly Sovereigns from the branch royal family into submission from the beginning. However, no matter what, if anyone wanted to disrupt Luo Li’s Luo God Ritual, he would let them know that even a tiger on the brink of death had sharp fangs!

At this thought, Luo Tianshen’s face gradually turned vicious.

Shalala!

While Luo Tianshen’s killing intent burned hot in his heart, the Luo River beneath began to boil a little, and blood-red bubbles surfaced incessantly. The change in the river was noticed by countless eyes.

BAM!

The bubbles burst one by one, and suddenly, a ball of blood-red light slowly floated out of a bubble. The higher it went, the clearer the light was. Finally, it turned into a bright red flower about the size of a palm. A bright red flame burned brightly on that flower. Most marvelously, on every petal of the flower was a faint, slender shadow. While the shadows were blurry, they were vaguely captivating.

The flower bloomed, and at the same time, an ancient and immense power from the bloodline was exuded. When the powerful people from the Luo God Clan, such as Luo Tianshen and Luo Tianlong, saw the burning blood-red flower, their faces were full of uncontrollable joy and had a lack of composure. Even some royal members of the clan could not help exclaiming in awe and marvel. “That’s the Roselle!”

In the Luo God Ritual, different signs and wonders would occur depending on the purity of bloodline. According to the legends, the purest sign would be that of the Roselle! It was said that these flowers were once the blood of the Luo God ancestor. They were hidden in the deepest parts of the Luo River, only appearing when beckoned by those with the purest bloodline.

In the many years of the Luo God Clan’s history, the appearance of the Roselle could be counted using one hand, and no one expected to witness such an appearance today.

The three Lower Earthly Sovereigns from the branch family expressed a stark disbelief and fear when they saw the blooming blood-red flower. They looked at each other and exclaimed bitterly, “How… how could it be the Roselle!?” They understood that Luo Li’s bloodline was considered pure, but they did not expect her Luo God Ritual to summon the Roselle.

Their faces were quickly changing. Judging from the current situation, Luo Li’s Luo God Ritual must be extraordinary. If she ever obtained the inheritance of the Luo God, she would most certainly enter the realm of Earthly Sovereigns. In that future, her achievements would be beyond their imaginations.

Who knew… Luo Li might even become the second Luo God in the clan. In that case, her status would be untouchable, and the branch families could only bow down to her whole-heartedly. Most importantly, people like them who tried to bring Luo Li down would definitely be eliminated. Thinking of this, a vicious glint flashed in their eyes.

While the various factions in the clan were contemplating, the countless citizens of the Luo God Clan stared at the gradually rising red flower and filled the whole atmosphere with exclamations of joy.

The people of the clan mostly had extremely thin Luo God blood in their veins, but they were also able to sense the immense reverence invoked by the blood-red flower. This had not been felt in any of the Luo God Rituals before. As such, they knew that Luo Li’s ritual must be exceptional, and this made them extremely excited.

In the deafening roars and exclamations of joy, a Roselle gently landed upon Luo Li. In a flash, the dark red flame engulfing her instantly expanded.

Vhroom!

The human torch became a gigantic pillar of fire thousands of feet tall. The flames burned fiercely, and the atmosphere was filled with the scent of blood. As the flame burned brighter, everyone also noticed that a growing spiritual energy fluctuation was spreading from within Luo Li. The power of that energy was climbing toward the border of Earthly Sovereign.

Feeling the rapid increase in Luo Li’s inner spiritual energy, Luo Tianshen was slightly relieved. He had just let out a breath of relief when laughter suddenly echoed in the air from far to near. “Hehe, as expected from the ultimate genius of the Luo God Clan. Even your Luo God Ritual can create such a buzz!”

Luo Tianshen’s face turned pale, and he immediately looked up at the sky. With a grave tone he exclaimed, “Xue Lingzi of the Blood God Clan!”

The blue sky quickly turned red, and a wave of blood seemed to be spreading forth, filling the sky. The waves of blood twisted and turned, and a middle-aged man in blood-red robes appeared. Both of his pupils were red. He looked at Luo Tianshen with squinted eyes and smiled. He greeted Luo Tianshen with his fists cupped and said, “We heard that the Luo God Clan is performing the Luo God Ritual, so we, the Blood God Clan, have come to witness it.”

Swoosh!

Below them, many armies stood beside both shores of the Luo River. Forceful spiritual energies burst forth from the troops. Luo Qingya and Luo Xiu stared at the man in blood-red robes, and their inner spiritual energy surged out, combining with the two armies behind them. Two forceful fighting intents silently surged.

They were both War Troop Dispatchers!

However, from the fighting intents they were controlling, they were both obviously merely at the level of a 10,000 battle rune war troop dispatcher.

Beneath them, the commotion in the Luo God City was unceasing. Countless citizens of the Luo God Clan looked up at the figure in the air with hatred and fear. They obviously knew who he was, because he was the chief of the Blood God Clan, Xue Lingzi! His infamy in the Western Kingdom could stop a child from crying.

Luo Tianshen stared at Xue Lingzi and bellowed with a dark face, “Leave, our clan does not welcome you!” An immense spiritual energy swept out like a storm behind him. The space around them was suddenly violently warped, and a terrifying spiritual energy pressure enveloped the atmosphere.

Hearing Luo Tianshen’s bellow, Xue Lingzi only replied with a scornful smile, “Hoho, there is nowhere we Blood God Clan cannot set foot in this Western Kingdom.” He waved his sleeves, and the blood behind him rippled. Five figures stepped out slowly from the blood. When they showed their faces, a series of sharp inhalations could be heard. The five of them were emitting a terrifying spiritual energy fluctuation. They were all obviously Lower Earthly Sovereigns!

A loud commotion arose from the crowd in Luo God City, and some let out exclamations of fear. “That’s the five elders of the Blood God Clan. They are all present here. How unexpected!”

Luo Tianshen’s face darkened immediately. It seemed like the Blood God Clan was determined to disrupt the Luo God Ritual, and this time, they even turned up in full force!

He could also faintly feel a subtle yet powerful spiritual energy fluctuation. He predicted that it must’ve been due to the Strength God Clan and Bone God Clan. Although their hostility was not as obvious as the Blood God Clan’s, Luo Tianshen knew that they would not hesitate to take advantage of the Luo God Clan as soon as they showed any signs of weakness.

This time, the danger was real.

Xue Lingzi looked at Luo Tianshen with a smile and turned toward Luo Li, who was enveloped in dark red flames. Then he said, “If you would agree to giving Luo Li’s hand in marriage to the Blood God Clan, we would give you our utmost support. Luo Tianshen, I come here with an olive branch. Don’t taint it with blood for the sake of your recklessness.”

Luo Tianshen looked at Xue Lingzi expressionlessly and said, “If you are so eager to hear my answer, let me tell it to you.” He raised his palm and dropped it sharply. His icy cold voice was filled with an immense killing intent, bursting out and filling the air.

“Great Array of Luo River!”
