After the gruesome battle, broken limbs, broken torsos, and severed heads were scattered all over the place.

It was a horrible scene, but Chu Kuangren turned a blind eye to all the blood and gore. As he moved all ten of his fingers, the ten demonic cultivators he controlled raised their swords to their necks and cut their heads off.

In the blink of an eye, ten more heads fell to the ground.

Chu Kuangren stared blankly at the ground, expressionless.

In his hands, he toyed with the black crystal that he just acquired from one of the dead bodies. It was Demonic Crystal, a raw mineral that contained the purest demonic qi.

With that, he scoured the place and gathered all the Demonic Crystals.

His true self was already at the Great Perfected Ninth-grade Heavenly Immortal Realm and was on the brink of breaking through to a True Immortal. As such, he required a massive amount of energy to aid his cultivation.

The Demonic Crystals he gathered might not even be close to what he needed, but it was better than nothing.

Besides, the Luo Hou Ancestral Land had an abundance of Demonic Crystals.

Other than Demonic Crystals, Chu Kuangren also obtained several True Immortal Techniques from the dead Chiyou Tribe cultivators. They were all the ultimate techniques of the Chiyou Tribe.

“Maybe the techniques might be useful somewhere.”

Chu Kuangren spent a little time mastering all the techniques he acquired. Given his level of cognizance, he could master even an Arch-Gilded Immortal Technique, let alone a True Immortal Technique.

A while later, the news of a Soul-Vanquishing Tribe’s cultivator snatching the Chiyou Tribe’s Demonic Crystal mine spread all across Luo Hou Ancestral Land.

The tension between the two tribes rose to a new high, and conflicts broke out in almost every corner of the Luo Hou Ancestral Land.

Deep inside Luo Hou Ancestral Land’s palace, the sky-prides and Heavenly Immortals of the Ten Demonic Dao Sects gathered for a discussion after the news broke out.

“Soul-Vanquishing Tribe, you better give us an explanation,” said one of the Chiyou Tribe sky-prides to a Soul-Vanquishing Tribe cultivator in a frosty tone.

The man possessed a towering figure and was equipped with a set of black armor. He was only second to the late Chi Zhan in the Chiyou Tribe, named Chi Zhong.

Beside him were other members of the Chiyou Tribe, who also stared at the representative of the Soul-Vanquishing Tribe with hostility.

“I’ve given the order to forbid everyone in the Soul-Vanquishing Tribe from snatching other tribe’s resources. As for the one who started this, I’m already investigating it. I ask for the Chiyou Tribe’s patience. Let’s not start a civil war,” Sima Han, the sky-pride of Soul-Vanquishing Tribe, said.

He was a calm and logical man who knew fighting with the Chiyou Tribe would do no good to the tribe. Hence, he took the initiative and showed compliance.

However, deep down in his heart, he already cursed the one who started the fight a hundred times.

He swore that if he found out who started the fight, he would make the person pay for the consequences using the most gruesome punishment he knew of.

“You better,” Chi Zhong sneered.

Then, he also gave the order to stop all the Chiyou Tribe cultivators across Luo Hou Ancestral Land from fighting the Soul-Vanquishing Tribe.

Only then did the tension between the two tribes finally calm down a little.

Meanwhile, in a certain corner of Luo Hou Ancestral Land, a strange grin hung on Chu Kuangren’s mouth. “That’s it? Are you guys going to stop just like that? I won’t let you.”

He then made his way to one of the encampments of the Soul-Vanquishing Tribe.

“Who goes there?” asked one of the Soul-Vanquishing Tribe cultivators as soon as he saw Chu Kuangren.

“I’m here to avenge the Chiyou Tribe’s cultivators who died in vain!” Chu Kuangren said coldly.

After that, he released his powerful demonic qi and unleashed a slash that carried the projection of a black dragon.

It was the Chiyou Tribe’s ultimate technique, the Black Dragon Slash!

Life was destroyed and land crumbled in the wake of the black dragon’s trail.

The Soul-Vanquisher Tribe’s cultivators could not stop a single attack before the black dragon tore them apart into clouds of bloody mist.

“It’s the Black Dragon Slash! He’s from the Chiyou Tribe!”

“Stop it! The sky-pride and Heavenly Champions have given the order to cease all internal conflicts at once! The Chiyou Tribe should’ve also received the same order! What you’re doing now is defying the order of the Heavenly Champion!”

The cultivators started to condemn Chu Kuangren’s action, but Chu Kuangren did not care.

“Hmph! The others may be scared of you Soul-Vanquishing Tribe, but not me!”

He attacked again using all kinds of powerful Chiyou Tribe techniques.

“Black Dragon Slash!”

“Demonic Chiyou Apparition!”

Moments later, almost all the Soul-Vanquishing Tribe cultivators in the encampment were killed, except a few that he decided to spare to pass on the message.

With Chu Kuangren’s meddling, the tension between the two tribes was reignited.

Inside Chiyou Tribe’s palace, Chi Zhong’s expression was grim when he received the updates. “Revenge? Which idiot did it? Is he trying to start an endless war between the two tribes?!”

He reached an agreement with Sima Han a few days ago, yet now, one of Chiyou Tribe’s cultivators massacred almost an entire encampment of the Soul-Vanquishing Tribe.

What exactly happened?

“Inform Sima Han immediately. We can’t let the tension between the two tribes continue,” Chi Zhong said.

Just when he was about to send the message to Sima Han, he received another update on the situation.

A Chiyou Tribe encampment was slaughtered by a Soul-Vanquishing Tribe cultivator.

The strange situation caused him to raise a brow.

“Sima Han isn’t a reckless person, so what on earth is happening?”

He had a bad feeling about it.

“This conflict is getting weirder and weirder.”

“Did something happen? What changed?”

Not only Chi Zhong but even Sima Han was baffled by the situation.

It was as though something or someone was fueling the flames in the dark.

However, what happened next far exceeded everyone’s expectations and control.

The conflict between Soul-Vanquishing Tribe and Chiyou Tribe had evolved into a three-way war when one of the Yin Underworld Tribe’s encampments was slaughtered by one of the Chiyou Tribe’s cultivators.

The Yin Underworld Tribe was furious to learn the news. They originally planned to watch from the sidelines, but before they knew it, they had become one of the participants in the civil war between the tribes.

The Yin Underworld Tribe cultivators could not tolerate being treated like a fool, so they joined the battle and went after the Chiyou Tribe specifically.

In fact, not only the Yin Underworld Tribe, but even the Corpse-Refining Tribe, Sword Demon Tribe, and Sky Demon Tribe were attacked. Each of their encampment was attacked by someone using Demonic Dao techniques, so it was almost certain that the attacker was from the Demonic Dao Sects.

The culprit even claimed it was to avenge the fallen.

Chaos broke out as all the tribes were swept into a civil war.

The whole Luo Hou Ancestral Land was in a mess.

“Chaos! This is chaos! What’s going on?”

“Us Corpse-Refining Tribe has never offended the others, yet we were attacked? I cannot tolerate this!”

“You want a war? In that case, you’ll get one! I’m not afraid of you people!”

“Chiyou Tribe! Us Yin Underworld Tribe refused to be pushed around!”

War broke loose among the Demonic Dao Sect in the Luo Hou Ancestral Land.

All the sky-prides and Heavenly Champions, who were exploring the place, were baffled by the strange civil war.

What was going on?

Why were all the tribes fighting each other without any solid reason?

It was too much of a surprise.

In less than a month, the whole Luo Hou Ancestral Land plunged into utter chaos. All the tribes were fighting each other, and the mortality rate was on the rise.

The sky-prides and Heavenly Champions tried to stop the war, but their efforts were not enough.

Something, or someone, was fueling the conflicts from the dark.

“Who is it? Who is behind all this? Is he trying to tear the Demonic Dao Sects apart?”

“I thought the Demonic Dao Sects were already separated!”

“The culprit best wish I don’t find him, or I’ll cut the b*stard into a million pieces!”
