Chapter 1376 - Lower Planes
Chapter 1376: Lower Planes
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
The vast heavens and earth were enveloped in crimson. Even the distant mountains were red, as if they had been infused with endless blood, full of desolation and annihilation.
Buzz!
Above a mountain, the space was suddenly torn apart. A plane passage was formed as a lithe figure descended from it. This figure, of course, was Mu Chen. After seeing that there was no strange movement around him, Mu Chen relaxed a little, and he concealed the surging spiritual energy around him.
“The level of power between heaven and earth on this Lower Plane is indeed, lower.” Mu Chen stretched out his hand, and the power of heaven and earth converged to form a ball of light. He felt the power of it, but his brows knit together. The power of heaven and earth was far less powerful than the power in the Great Thousand World, so it would be much a slower process if he wanted to restore power here.
“Fortunately, this time, I brought the Mu Estate’s reserves of Sovereign Spiritual Liquid.” Mu Chen sighed. If there was no Sovereign Spiritual Liquid as a backup, after encountering combat, he would have to hold back, as he would be always worried about the consumption of spiritual energy. Even then, he had to be careful not to run out of spiritual energy and put himself in jeopardy.
After sighing, Mu Chen suddenly clenched his fist, and the White Dragon Spiritual Pearl flashed out. As soon as the White Dragon Spiritual Pearl appeared, the white light above it seemed to have become brighter. However, Mu Chen was surprised to see that the mark left in it by Reverend White Dragon remained un-triggered.
Is it necessary to get to the place where Reverend White Dragon was to bring out the thread of attachment? The good news was that at least the White Dragon Spiritual Pearl had reacted to the Lower Planes, which meant he was not in the wrong place.
Now that the Lower Planes have been occupied by the Fiend Blood Tribe… Mu Chen gazed at the dark red world in which he could smell bloody and chilling fluctuations. The spiritual energy in his body reacted resentfully. Apparently, the source of these fluctuations was from the Fiend Blood Tribe.
From this point of view, the Extraterritorial Race seemed to be transforming this Lower Plane, trying to infect the power between the heavens and the earth, and change it into what they needed.
“I don’t know how strong this Fiend Blood Tribe is,” Mu Chen murmured to himself. He could not act recklessly. He had to find out whether there was a Demon Emperor in the Fiend Blood Tribe that occupied the Lower Planes. Every Demon Emperor had combat power comparable to that of a Heavenly Sovereign’s. If there was a Demon Emperor, it would not be good news. After all, with his current strength, the odds of success would not be too optimistic if he were to clash against a Demon Emperor.
I should investigate the situation first. After making up his mind, Mu Chen did not dawdle. He transformed into a stream of light and shot off into the distance. He chose to travel at a low altitude in order to avoid detection by the Fiend Blood Tribe.
At full speed, the mountains were quickly left behind, but as he moved on, Mu Chen frowned harder. He found that there was no sound emitted by the birds and beasts, and the whole world was in a state of stillness, like a world of the dead.
Have all the creatures in this world been slaughtered by the Fiend Blood Tribe? At this point, Mu Chen’s expression was gloomy. Are these d*mn Fiend Blood Tribes that brutal? Mu Chen’s thoughts flashed, and his perception spread quickly, but fortunately, half an hour later, he sensed some fluctuations.
His silhouette appeared directly on a mountain top. He looked out into the distance, only to see that the outline of a city loomed on the earth. Looking at the city, he could sense that there were various auras in it, some of which had the same aura as this world. If he was right, they were the natives of the world.
Are there any more natives here? Mu Chen’s gaze flickered as he moved swiftly and appeared above the city. He concealed his spiritual energy to blend into the space, so no one could detect him. Standing above the city, his gaze swept down, only to see that the city was a scene of prosperity. Countless people shuttled around and presented a lively city scene.
However, Mu Chen looked at the scene and frowned. Despite the hustle and bustle, he felt a strange aura. Those figures did show a variety of life, but Mu Chen was clear that something was amiss. All of the people were pale, and in the depths of their various expressions, hid a sense of numbness. These people, though alive, were more like walking corpses.
Whoo!
As Mu Chen was puzzled, suddenly a shrill rattle rang out in the city, reverberating between heaven and earth.
Boom!
When the shrill voice sounded in the bustling city, all the people frantically turned around and fled to their residences. Their previous smiles disappeared, replaced by a thick impression of fear.
Cackle!
A thousand blood shadows burst out in the depths of the city. They cackled sharply like hawks, descended from the sky, and pounced on the people of the city.
In the sky, Mu Chen’s gaze grew solemn as he saw those blood shadows clad in bloody robes. Their faces were pale, but there were two sharp fangs protruding out from their mouths, flickering with cold light. These people were obviously the Fiend Blood Tribe!
They swooped down, stretched out their palms, and seized the figures who were escaping in a frenzy. They then soared up, and their sharp fangs pierced into their necks. Their victims’ bodies dried up quickly as they struggled madly. When the blood was drained, they discarded them as if they were garbage. In just a few minutes, the city that had seemed to be lively and peaceful was strewn with corpses and blood.
High up in the air, Mu Chen finally regained his senses. His face suddenly became iron blue with fury, because he finally understood what had happened. The Fiend Blood Tribe deliberately gathered these natives as if they were keeping pigs and dogs in captivity. When they were hungry, they started to massacre them while enjoying the fear in their desperate attempts to escape. The natives of the world, though surviving, were kept in captivity as food.
How cruel and brutal it was!
In the city, a blood shadow fell from the sky and grabbed a young girl who was frantically trying to escape. He stretched out a cold palm, touching the girl’s beautiful cheek. However, her face was full of despair.
She struggled madly but could not get out of the blood shadow’s tight grasp. He stuck out his tongue, gently licking the girl’s white neck. He inhaled the scent of fresh blood and smiled. “You’re even a virgin. I’m really lucky.”
As he spoke, his sharp fangs moved in to pierce the girl’s neck, and he could not wait to enjoy the virgin’s blood. But just as he was about to prick into the flesh, his head was suddenly stiff. A slender palm held his skull so that he could not move.
The sovereign from the Fiend Blood Tribe also froze, then his gaze swept towards the youth who appeared behind him. His expression changed, as he realized he did not even know when this figure had appeared. “Who are you?! How dare you disturb my meal time!”
Bang!
He was greeted with a fist that clenched forcefully. His head exploded in an instant, and blood spattered the girl’s face. This sudden change also shocked the girl. She stared dumbfounded at the sovereign from the Fiend Blood Tribe who had collapsed, even forgetting to wipe away the blood on her face.
However, she quickly came back to her senses, but glee did not surface in her eyes. Instead, she grew increasingly desperate as she looked at Mu Chen and said, trembling, “Leave quickly!”
In the past, there were people who wanted to resist these demons, but in the end, not only were they mutilated, but others even died as a result of the Fiend Blood Tribe’s wrath. Thus, in her opinion, none of them would survive this time.
At that moment, the other sovereigns of the Fiend Blood Tribe also discovered this situation. Enraged whistles reverberated through the city, and in the next moment, countless blood shadows suddenly shot down towards Mu Chen, wanting to tear him apart.
The natives of the city who were escaping wildly, looked at this scene and crumpled with despair and numbness. They knew that when the Fiend Blood Tribe tore up the rebellious figure, they would incur their wrath and none would live. However, it was better to die than to suffer such a fate worse than death.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
Over the city, countless blood shadows whistled down as they charged straight towards Mu Chen amid countless numb stares. Mu Chen ignored the blood shadows and stretched out his palm, helping the girl wipe away the blood on her cheeks. A gentle smile bloomed on his handsome face. “Don’t worry, it’s all right.”
As he finished speaking, he raised his head, looking at the sky covered with blood shadows. His expression grew cold as a chilling glint flashed in his eyes. He slowly lifted the soles of his feet, then stomped them with a sudden blow.
Boom!
A spiritual storm suddenly raged out from within him and filled the heavens and the earth.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The spiritual storm roared past, and the thousands of blood shadows that had rushed in were suddenly still. In the next moment, they burst into terrible screeching, but just as the sound spread, their bodies were struck by the spiritual energy’s terrible power.
One after another, their bodies exploded and erupted into blood mist all over the sky. In just a few moments, the blood shadows in the sky were annihilated. The roaring city suddenly descended into deathly silence.
In the city, the natives who were ready to die looked at the scene in a daze and did not regain their senses for a long time. They had never thought that the demons who seemed invincible to them could be massacred like flies with just one stomp from that figure.
They turned their heads stiffly and looked at the calm, slender young man descending through the mist of blood and began to tremble frantically.
In front of Mu Chen, the beautiful girl was also trembling as she looked at this scene. In the next moment, she suddenly knelt down heavily before Mu Chen. Her hoarse and mournful voice rang through the air, “Divine Lord, please help us!”
In her eyes, who could have easily killed these powerful demons, other than the legendary Divine Lord?
