Chapter 0475: The Pool of Red Blood
After summoning the army of Mutated Beasts, Huang Long did not hesitate. With a mere thought, six million of these beasts launched a soul attack in unison.
In an instant, apart from the overwhelming glow filling the sky and earth, nothing else was visible. All sounds vanished! Everything seemed to come to a halt!
The radiant light, like a raging sea, submerged the Red Demons charging forward.
“Mutated Beasts, the Law of Mutated Souls!” The Red Demon Commander’s expression changed as he watched the glow produced by Huang Long’s soul attacks. Flames erupted across his body, forming a massive red blaze.
When the radiant light from the army of Mutated Beasts struck the red flames, sizzling sounds filled the air. As the light swept through, the Red Demons fell one after another.
But unlike before, Huang Long did not order his army to slaughter them—he instead stunned them. With another thought, he trapped the stunned Red Demons inside the Group of Immortals Pavilion. Thus, wherever the light passed, the falling Red Demons disappeared.
Seeing this, the Red Demon Commander flew into rage: “Huang Long, how dare you!”
With the Red Demons gone, it was impossible for him to hide what had happened—he clearly knew Huang Long had taken them. As a high-level Beast Master, Huang Long intended to keep the Red Demons, and the Red Demon Commander understood this all too well. If Huang Long continued to take them, his clan would become another army under Huang Long’s control, just like the army of Mutated Beasts.
Roar! Watching Huang Long continue to take his clan members, the Red Demon Commander finally acted!
He soared into the air, spread his arms, and slammed them together. Endless waves of red flames surged forth. What shocked Huang Long was the terrifying devouring and corrosive power of these flames. It was very similar to the devouring and corrosive force they had encountered earlier, except without the Red Demon Commander’s fire-based divine power.
Faced with this attack, Huang Long did not dare be careless. With a thought, he recalled his army of Mutated Beasts and vanished in a flash, saying, “Let’s go!”
Right now, the most important thing was to find the Rebirth Stone, so Huang Long didn’t want to get entangled with the Red Demon clan any longer.
“Yes, Young Master!” Bradd understood immediately and followed Huang Long, vanishing in a flash.
“Chase them! Chase them now!” The Red Demon Commander roared as he saw Huang Long and Bradd escape. He then pursued them alone, launching an attack at them.
But just as his strike was about to hit Huang Long and Brade, they suddenly disappeared into thin air. Continuous loud booms could be heard! Countless rocks tumbled and flew into the air. After the Red Demon Commander launched his attack, Huang Long and Brade reappeared. However, there were too many Red Demons charging at Huang Long, an endless stream, which posed a significant obstacle to them, with the Red Demon Commander closing in from behind. “Young master, what should we do now?” Brade asked urgently, barely dodging the attack from the Red Demon Commander behind them. Huang Long remained silent; the power of the immortal spirit enveloped Brade as they passed straight through the mountain wall ahead. It was the EarthThe ‘Earth Release’ technique! technique! “The ‘combination’ attribute of the Earth element’s laws!” The Red Demon Commander was surprised to see Huang Long and Brade pass through the mountain wall, and immediately sent a palm strike that turned the mountain peak ahead to ashes. Yet, Huang Long and Brade’s figures did not reappear. Even with his spiritual sense scanning the area, he found nothing. “Huang Long, come out!” the Red Demon Commander roared in anger, launching another attack that destroyed the surrounding mountains and caused the ground to sink! All that responded to him was the echo in the valleys. “Search! Find them! Activate the Red Demon Array and seal Red Demon Valley!” the Red Demon Commander shouted. “Yes, Commander!” The powerful members of the Red Demon clan replied nervously, flying away to search for Huang Long or activate the Red Demon Array to seal the valley. “Commander,” said one of the clan leaders cautiously at that moment. “Speak,” the Red Demon Commander ordered sternly. “Yes, Commander. This Huang Long appeared in Red Demon Valley for no reason. I believe he is likely here for the Rebirth Stone,” the leader said. “The Rebirth Stone? Damn it!” The Red Demon Commander’s expression changed, and he swiftly flew toward the far south. The powerful members of his clan followed. Before long, the Red Demon Commander and his clan arrived at their sacred place—the Crimson Blood Pool! The pool was not large, only a few thousand square meters. Its entire surface was filled with a blood-red, magma-like gas. Strangely, this gas seemed to be constrained in some way, unable to escape from the pool and could only circulate continuously within it. Even more peculiar was the fact that amidst the powerful forces of consumption, corrosion, and death within the pool, there was also a surge of life force, which circulated endlessly alongside the forces of death.
In the middle of the Red Blood Pool, a hundred zhang above the pool’s surface, floated a palm-sized stone. The stone seemed ordinary, but one side of it emitted a ghastly green light, while the other side had a soft, pale green glow. A streak of crimson light separated the two sides at the center of the stone.
When the Great Leader of the Red Demons arrived at the Red Blood Pool and saw the stone still there, he breathed a sigh of relief: “The Rebirth Stone is still here!” The Rebirth Stone was a sacred artifact of their clan. If it were lost, he, as the leader of the Red Demons, would bear heavy responsibility.
“Great Leader!” At that moment, the other leaders of the Red Demons also arrived. Seeing the Rebirth Stone on the pool, they all breathed in relief.
The Great Leader nodded and said solemnly, “The Rebirth Stone is a sacred artifact of our clan; it must not be lost. Eidi, you and the others stay here to guard it against the Yellow Dragon.”
The leader who had warned the Great Leader about the Rebirth Stone quickly replied respectfully, “Yes, Great Leader.”
Then, one of the other leaders said, “Great Leader, even if the Yellow Dragon really comes for the Rebirth Stone, it’s impossible for it to take it once it finds this place.”
The Rebirth Stone originated from the Red Blood Pool. Whoever tried to take it would be consumed and corroded by the pool’s destructive power. Unless they were supreme gods at the highest level, they would all be destroyed by this force.
The Great Leader said gravely, “Anyway, we should still be cautious.” After that, he gave more instructions to the surrounding leaders before vanishing in a flash.
Only five leaders of the Red Demons remained to guard the pool.
“The Great Leader is being overly cautious. Even without guards, could the Yellow Dragon really take the Rebirth Stone?” one of the leaders said.
“Are you questioning the Great Leader’s decision?” Leader Eidi asked sternly.
“I dare not,” the leader who had complained earlier replied quickly, his expression tense.
Leader Eidi nodded. But just then, his eyes suddenly widened. The other four leaders were puzzled and followed his gaze toward the sky above the pool.
“The Yellow Dragon!”
In the sky above the Red Blood Pool, a figure appeared out of thin air—it was the Yellow Dragon.
“Yellow Dragon, how dare you!” Seeing the Yellow Dragon, Leader Eidi flew up in anger and attacked it. Although it seemed unlikely that the Yellow Dragon could take the Rebirth Stone, anything was possible. So he took action first, and the other four leaders also rushed to attack the Yellow Dragon.
Yet surprisingly, no matter how fierce the attacks from the five Red Demon leaders were, the Pool of Scarlet Blood remained unchanged, unaffected in the slightest, except that the Light of Reincarnation began to glow. The Yellow Dragon paid no attention to the five of them, continuing to reach for the Light of Reincarnation with both hands. Seeing this, the five of Aidi were both anxious and enraged: “Seeking death!” How dare the Yellow Dragon directly withstand such a combined attack from them?! Even their supreme leader wouldn’t be so reckless. But just as their attacks reached the Yellow Dragon, the five of Aidi were shocked to see an ancient bronze bell suddenly appear above its head. On the bell, countless fish, insects, and beasts were depicted in vivid detail, with streams of colorful light swirling around and enveloping the Yellow Dragon, protecting it from all sides. Knock, knock, knock, fizz! When their attacks collided with those colorful lights, dull sounds were heard. But to their horror, the Yellow Dragon was merely pushed back slightly—unharmed! The colorful light disappeared, the bell’s movement stalled for a moment, then burst out with dazzling light once again, sending out more streams of light to protect the Yellow Dragon. The Yellow Dragon reached for the Light of Reincarnation once more. Roar! Seeing this, the five of Aidi, ignoring their shock, transformed into their Red Demon forms, their bodies engulfed in red flames, and launched another attack at the Yellow Dragon. The Light of Reincarnation was a sacred artifact of the Red Demon race; nothing could go wrong. With a thought, the Yellow Dragon made the Chaos Bell emit a clear ringing sound, and a grayish airflow spread out. At the same time, it grabbed the Light of Reincarnation with its right hand. But the moment the Light entered its hand, the once calm Pool of Scarlet Blood suddenly turned into a violent sea, unleashing powerful devouring and corrosive forces against the Yellow Dragon—forces many times stronger than those encountered by the Yellow Dragon and Brad when they entered the Valley of Red Demons. Boom! A loud explosion rang out as the attacks from the five of Aidi and the backlash from the Pool of Scarlet Blood all hit the Chaos Bell. The Yellow Dragon was shaken and flew out of the Pool of Scarlet Blood, while the five of Aidi were also pushed back. As the Yellow Dragon retreated, it felt its internal energy surge, so it quickly activated its divine energy, summoned the Tree of the Netherworld, and then vanished through earthThe ‘Earth Release’ technique!. “How is this possible?!” The five of Aidi stared at the scene in shock and anger. How could the Yellow Dragon withstand such a combined attack from them in their true forms without injury?! Even more terrifying was that it also withstood the backlash from the Pool of Scarlet Blood! Ai Di stood there, staring at the empty Pool of Scarlet Blood, too stunned to chase after the Yellow Dragon.
