?52: Chapter 52: Shrouded in Mist 52: Chapter 52: Shrouded in Mist The murky, yellowish sky, the blood-muddy earth, countless white bones scattered everywhere, and the air heavily laden with the stench of blood wafting through it.

    Splashing sounds.

    A long river of blood flowed from west to east, its waves rolling with the faint cries of millions of lost souls and unknown ghostly apparitions drifting in the blood river, sending shivers down the spine of anyone who glanced at it.

    On both banks of the Blood River, strange flowers and peculiar trees bloomed, and vast patches of blood-colored flowers slowly opened, presenting a gruesomely beautiful spectacle.

    The enticing fragrance wafted out, attracting hundreds of blood-colored mutant beasts nearby.

    A howl!

    The beast’s cries were pitiful and unceasing.

    Just as these mutant beasts entered the sea of blood-colored flowers, something horrific happened.

    Their bodies rapidly dissolved into blood and were frantically absorbed by the sea of blood-colored flowers, which bloomed even more brilliantly.

    However, the pale bones of the mutant beasts made one overlook their beauty.

    An unknown Blood Tree, with a huge bloody mouth on its trunk, was crazily devouring a large-bodied mutant beast.

    A massive amount of blood was drawn till the mutant beast turned into bones, and the huge bloody mouth on the trunk gradually disappeared without a trace.

    The Blood Sea was boundless, stretching endlessly.

    In this blood-colored world, countless mutant beasts fought fiercely, and numerous ghostly shadows devoured each other.

    It was a world of slaughter, where only the strong could survive.

    Boom, boom, boom!

    The void trembled, ripples spread, and a blood-colored light gate slowly opened.

    As Ye Xuan stepped out from the gate, an extremely terrifying aura of murder burst forth from him.

    Heavens moved, and slaughter spanned through the ages.

    Ye Xuan’s grayish-white hair gradually turned blood red.

    His eyes, opening and closing, seemed like two primordial stars rotating thunderously.

    His chiseled face was filled with cold and merciless expressions.

    At this moment, Ye Xuan transformed into the Undying Venerable.

    His aura filled the entire Blood Sea Battlefield, his three thousand blood-colored hair strands fluttering in the wind, making him appear extremely terrifying at first glance.

    On both banks of the Blood Sea, all was dead and silent, except for the mighty rumbling sounds of the blood river.

    Misty and illusory, demonic and devilish, at this moment, Ye Xuan seemed like the Netherworld King walking among mortals, making all living beings retreat from his path.

    Ye Xuan took a step forward and appeared directly in the sea of blood-colored flowers.

    The terrifying sea of flowers instantly parted to form a path just for him.

    The old blood tree bowed, and various mutant beasts fled, while Ye Xuan walked along, each step causing tremendous tremors.

    “We pay our respects to the Heavenly Venerate.”

    Some blood-colored beings, extremely intelligent and capable of human speech, chanted the name of Heavenly Venerate as they retreated, causing slight tremors in this world.

    Rising from humility, reviving from silence, ever since Ye Xuan first entered here four years ago, he transformed from a mere mortal into the Undying Venerable.

    This journey was carved out through his notorious strength; how could any sentient being not know his terror?

    Thud, thud, thud.

    Like the ringing of the Bell Of The Dead Soul and stars plummeting from the vast universe, Ye Xuan’s expression was stern.

    Each step he took caused significant tremors in this world until he stepped onto the Blood Sea where huge blood-colored waves lifted him, carrying him toward the depths of the Blood Sea.

    At the end of the Blood Sea, mountains of bones rose.

    A White Bone Throne stood tall atop the mountain of bones and Blood Sea, a bronze scripture emitting a mysterious immortal light, hanging high in the sky, and countless blood-colored eerie shadows emitted sinister laughter.

    “You have finally returned.”

    Suddenly.

    A loud shout came from the bronze scripture, the originally weak immortal light blazed brilliantly at this moment, directly materializing the shadow of the Primordial Spirit, appearing before Ye Xuan’s eyes.

    Boom!

    Blood mist permeated everything, Ye Xuan took a step and appeared directly atop the Blood Sea Corpse Mountain.

    “I am the Undying Venerable, do you also wish to turn heaven and earth, you evil spirits?”

    Atop the Blood Sea Corpse Mountain, Ye Xuan sat again on the White Bone Throne, his gaze fixed on countless sinister blood shadows in the sky, his eyes opening and closing emitted an extremely terrifying murderous aura.

    Cackles galore reverberated across the Blood Sea, as a hideous ghost face manifested high in the sky.

    “So, you are ‘his’ descendant.

    No wonder the Heavenly Punishment Halberd acted abnormally, allowing us to break free.” An unknown voice echoed from all directions, casting Ye Xuan’s expression into darkness.

    Hum!

    The void trembled, and the Primordial Spirit suddenly appeared beside Ye Xuan, its aura appearing extremely weak.

    “What has happened?” Ye Xuan asked somberly.

    “The Heavenly Punishment Halberd has gone to seek you, freeing the Evil Demon that had been suppressed for ten thousand years from the depths of the Blood Sea.

    Now I have no time to explain to you.

    Only by summoning the Heavenly Punishment Halberd can we suppress these Evil Demons again,” the Primordial Spirit urgently cried out.

    Cackle cackle cackle!

    “We are the Evil Demons?”

    Suddenly, as the Primordial Spirit’s voice fell, unrestrained laughter sounded from Tian Yu.

    “Younger generation, although we have transformed into Blood Souls and can no longer remember much of our past lives, the one who suppressed us is clearly engraved in our souls.

    ‘That person,’ although gravely injured in those days, cultivated the Undying Immortal Scripture—how could death come so easily to him?

    If we are not mistaken, you are merely a puppet.”

    “Ye Xuan, pay no heed to their nonsense.

    Release the Heavenly Punishment Halberd and suppress them deep into the Blood Sea,” the Primordial Spirit bellowed fiercely, with violent fluctuations in its aura.

    At this moment,

    Ye Xuan’s expression constantly changed.

    He had never seen the Primordial Spirit so panicked, as if trying to cover up some unknown truth.

    This caused Ye Xuan’s eyes to slightly narrow, and instead of releasing the Heavenly Punishment Halberd, he looked toward the ghost face in the sky.

    “Who is that person?

    And who are you?” Ye Xuan asked gravely.

    “Who are we?”

    Cackle cackle cackle!

    “We are Immortals, we are Divine Souls.

    We were unwilling to be completely annihilated.

    Even though we were eternally suppressed in the Ancient Battlefield, there will still come a day of rebirth.”

    Wild cackling, the words manic, clearly the memories within the Blood Shadows’ souls were fragmented.

    They did not remember who they were in life, yet from their words, one could discern definitively grand origins.

    “I remember now, I remember now.

    He is called ‘Yuan Mo.’ He wanted to overturn Heaven and Earth, control the eternal chess game.”

    “The Ancient Battlefield, dead, all are dead, although Yuan Mo also vanished without a trace.”

    When the name Yuan Mo was spoken at the Blood Sea Battlefield, the Primordial Spirit finally could not control its emotions anymore; it transformed into the embodiment of the Undying Immortal Scripture and fiercely attacked the ghost face in the sky.

    “How dare you, the name Yuan Mo is not something you trifling Immortals can casually invoke!”

    Boom boom boom.

    Immortal Light swept across the sky, and as the blood light stirred, countless Blood Shadows shattered and dissipated, and then regathered once more.

    “Trivial Artifact Spirit, how could you possibly annihilate us?”

    “Ye Xuan, do not listen to their senseless babble.

    Quickly call forth the Heavenly Punishment Halberd and suppress these Evil Demons,” roared the Primordial Spirit relentlessly.
