Chapter 1003: Meeting Old Friends Again
There were a few Blood ancestors who had heard rumors of the Blood-devil Tribe’s ambitions. They believed that the tribe wanted to be the top clan within the Blood Race.
In fact, no one really suspected this rumor. After all, they had produced three Immortal Emperors in the past. The tribe itself had frightening resources, and more importantly, ever since w.a.n.g Dongtian took over, the tribe had undergone many changes. They became strong to an alarming level. After several generations of reforms, they became the unified ent.i.ty of today.
Although they did not produce an emperor during this time, geniuses came out one after another. There were many paragons and even eternal existences! Some even said that the tribe was the branch with the highest number of paragons in the Blood Race.
And there was an even more frightening rumor. It stated that their ambitions did not stop there. The tribe wanted to become an existence that rivaled the Blood Primal Ground. It even went beyond that; some believed that they wanted to replace the primal ground altogether.
Of course, the majority of the Blood ancestors only snorted at these rumors. They a.s.sumed that they were only propaganda spouted by the humans or the other races. The goal was to destroy the Blood Race’s unity.
The truth was that these ancestors found it to be an impossible matter. For millions of years and generation after generation, the primal ground had always controlled the Blood Race in the nine worlds. No one person or lineage could ever shake the primal ground’s position in the Blood Race.
Thus, they thought of these rumors as mere malicious slander. The Blood-devil Tribe couldn’t be stupid enough to challenge the primal ground’s position! This was simply courting death!
However, after hearing the exchange between Li Qiye and w.a.n.g Dongtian, some of these Blood ancestors with great statuses were slightly startled. They couldn’t help but recall these past rumors about the Blood-devil Tribe. They trembled at the thought that they might be true!
The younger generation did not know the relations.h.i.+p between Li Qiye and the primal ground. However, the primal ground had recently sent messages to the powerful side branches of the Blood Race. Even a fool would understand that Li Qiye carried a great significance for the primal ground. He might even take over the leaders.h.i.+p of the Blood Race!
Although such speculations did not receive a direct response from the primal ground, it was enough to show Li Qiye’s importance.
Yet, even after receiving these messages, someone as smart as w.a.n.g Dongtian chose to work together with the Storm G.o.d to oppose Li Qiye? What did this mean?
”Man proposes but heaven disposes. Let the heavens be the judge. Well said.” Li Qiye couldn’t help but praise: “I have to admit that you are a man with a vision. However, you have underestimated your enemy so much that this act is no longer a vision, it is simply overestimating your own abilities!”
“Overestimating my own abilities?” w.a.n.g Dongtian’s profound eyes emitted a cold glimmer as he slowly responded: “Against a supreme lord, I will admit that I don’t know my own limits. But against you, I don’t believe this is the case.”
“Hahahaha, how funny.” Li Qiye chuckled: “You will never find out what kind of enemy you are facing right now. In fact, your knowledge of the Blood Primal Ground is only made of sc.r.a.ps and pieces; otherwise, you would already be regretting the decision you made today.”
“Is that so?” w.a.n.g Dongtian retorted: “My Blood-devil Tribe will never know regret. We swear to fight to the very last man against our enemies!”
“How brave.” Li Qiye said with a smile: “Fine, you all have seen what I am capable of and should have a clear a.s.sessment of my strength. Thus, you should be well prepared. I have always been merciful and given my enemies ample opportunities. Begin, show me everything you have. I’ll wait so that others won’t say that I never gave you all a fighting chance.”
w.a.n.g Dongtian stared at Li Qiye without speaking. His leisured and relaxed att.i.tude didn’t seem to be just for show. It really made w.a.n.g Dongtian wonder just how many heaven-defying means Li Qiye had.
However, he didn’t have time to hesitate. He slowly uttered: “Very well, since you are so confident, I’ll let you see our great solidarity firsthand!”
“Commence!” He shouted out a command.
The tightly packed army that surrounded the w.a.n.g Clan did not immediately attack Li Qiye after the command. A battalion of disciples instantly formed formations. Magical runes appeared on their bodies.
“Buzz!” The entire w.a.n.g territory lit up. Formation arrays rose from the ground and illuminated the area.
Many chants resounded. A very powerful force in the middle of this land fluctuated. Next, a series of continuous explosions blared.
“Pop!” A very mighty b.l.o.o.d.y ray soared into the sky from within the clan. It tore apart the initial firmament. Its crimson radiance turned into a formation high above, as if it was about to open a timeless portal.
“What is this?” Many people felt uneasy after seeing the portal in the sky in addition to sensing the fluctuation of this timeless power.
“Interesting.” Li Qiye glanced at the portal but still sat leisurely on his throne: “I have heard of this legend before. Alas, it can’t reach the apex against me.”
