Chapter 1278

Inside the ancient and eerie palace complex.

Swoosh!

A total of four demons and the Silver Soul Divine Guards were flying rapidly.

"Kill!"

"Intruders, kill without mercy!"

Behind him, ghostly figures overflowed into the sky, howling continuously as attacks descended.

"Damn Cloud Dragon Race and Heaven's Legacy Race. I will make sure you die a horrible death!"

The leader, the Blue Scales Thearch, shouted furiously.

"This way!"

The Blue Scales Thearch led the team into a wide, cold alley.

However, after flying for several thousand feet, it was a dead end.

Not only that, but the wall in front of them had a metallic black luster, and the patterns on it seemed to contain the profundities of an array formation.

"Break!"

A male from the Cat Race, who was at the peak early-stage Mysterious Nether realm, lashed out with his claw, and five blood-colored claw lights struck the wall in front of him.

Boom!

The surface of the wall flickered with black light, and the energy of the blood-colored claw was dispersed.

The attack of a peak early-stage Mysterious Nether realm expert couldn't even break the wall. It didn't even leave a mark.

"This is Black Mysterious Ancient Iron, a metal ore known for its hardness. It's an excellent material for refining high-grade defensive armor," the Silver Soul Race Thearch said.

The Silver Soul Race Thearch said.

Many places in this palace complex were made of Black Mysterious Ancient Iron, and they also contained arrays that had extremely powerful defensive abilities.

Otherwise, this wouldn't be the only building in the entire abandoned ancient city that was perfectly preserved.

At the same time, the vengeful ghosts chasing them arrived.

"Kill them all!"

The Blue Scales Thearch decided to completely eliminate these pursuers.

They weren't familiar with the terrain here, so they ran around randomly. It would be fine if they encountered a dead end, but it would be troublesome if they encountered other dangers.

"Go!"

After the Blue Scales Thearch gave the order, the others didn't say anything else. They had to eliminate the enemies in front of them first.

Fortunately, they had roped in the Silver Soul Race Divine Guards. Otherwise, the three of them wouldn't be able to deal with the enemies in front of them.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

The Blue Scales Thearch and the Silver Soul Race Divine Guards charged toward the two late-stage Mysterious Nether Race Black-Armored Ghost Emperors.

The Blue Scales Thearch had a deep foundation and had been in the late-stage Mysterious Nether realm for nearly a thousand years.

The Silver Soul Race Divine Guards were Godfiend descendants and specialized in the Soul Dao, so they had an advantage against the Black-Armored Ghost Emperors.

Furthermore, these two late-stage Mysterious Underworld Emperor Lords could even free themselves to deal with the other vengeful spirits, which reduced the pressure on the other two demons.

Given their late-stage Mysterious Nether cultivation bases, a casual strike from them could instantly kill early-stage Mysterious Nether cultivators.

The situation gradually turned for the better.

Right at this moment, a blood-red figure suddenly appeared in the midst of the ghostly shadows. It was extremely eye-catching.

"What is this?"

The peak early-stage Mysterious Underworld man from the Cat Race sized up the blood-red figure.

It was clear that this was not a vengeful ghost formed after a cultivator died, but a special blood path energy body.

He didn't think too much about it, thinking that it was also born in this godforsaken place.

"Early stage Profound Nether Realm!"

The Blue Scales Thearch Lord had also noticed the blood-red figure. However, after discovering the other party's cultivation, he didn't pay much attention to it.

The Silver Soul Race divine guard took a glance and frowned slightly.

As a descendant of the God Devil Race, he could sense that this blood-red figure had an extremely powerful bloodline. His life force and physique were rather special and extraordinary.

Was this also the birth of the Ghost City?

Whoosh!

The blood-red figure was extremely fast as it shuttled through the air.

In the meantime, it was attacked by a vengeful ghost.

A half-step Profound Nether Realm vengeful ghost unleashed a pale bone claw that landed on the blood-red figure.

Pfft!

This claw completely hit its target and only left behind a few tiny marks that healed in the blink of an eye.

The blood-red figure's self-healing ability was extremely powerful!

Right at this moment, it approached the Cat Race male.

"Since you dare to find trouble with me, then I'll send you to the Yellow Springs first."

The Cat Race male had a displeased expression. He was currently fighting a peak early-stage Profound Nether Realm Ghost Thearch. However, he could temporarily defend and dodge while dealing with the blood-red figure first.

While he blocked the Ghost Thearch, he controlled a dark red dagger and slashed at the blood-red figure.

This dark red dagger was a superior-grade mystic artifact and had the ability to devour the enemy's life force and blood.

Pfft!

The dark red dagger drew a demonic, straight blood beam that pierced through the blood-red figure.

The Cat Race male's lips curled up.

His superior-grade mystic artifact had pierced through the blood-red figure's vitals. Furthermore, this mystic artifact could devour blood to level up, so it countered this special enemy.

He believed that even if his attack couldn't kill the blood-red figure, it could still severely injure it.

Swoosh!

Suddenly, the blood-red figure scuttled toward the Cat Race male.

"How is this possible?"

The Cat Race male was slightly shocked. The blood-red figure had just been severely injured by him. How could it be so lively in the blink of an eye?

He scanned with his spiritual consciousness and saw a thigh-sized hole on the blood-red figure's body healing rapidly as if it wasn't affected at all.

"Burning Blood Art!"

The blood-red figure performed a hand seal and released a strange Blood Dao power.

"Ah …"

In the next instant, the Cat Race male's blood was like boiling lava that burned his entire body. His skin instantly turned crimson red before traces of charred black appeared on it.

"What … secret technique is this?"

The Cat Race male was shocked.

The blood-red figure's secret technique targeted the blood in his body.

One should know that the Cat Race male's original body was an ancient beast. Even a powerful ancient beast bloodline didn't have much resistance.

Subsequently, the blood-red figure and the Ghost Thearch that attacked the Cat Race male launched their attacks at the same time.

The Cat Race male's entire body was burning uncomfortably. He could only use 25% of his combat strength at most, and he was fighting one against two.

In the blink of an eye, several bloody wounds were left on his body.

"Blood Drawing Art!"

The blood-red figure stared at the Cat race man's wound. He reached out with his claws and activated his bloodline power once more.

In the next instant, the blood in the catman's body gushed out uncontrollably through the wound!

"No … you …"

The man from the Cat Tribe panicked. As his blood flowed out, his strength plummeted.

The blood-red figure drew blood, and the Ghost Emperor's attacks further injured the Cat Race male, making him even weaker and unable to resist.

Two breaths later, the withered corpse fell to the ground.

The blood-red figure sucked the other party's blood dry, his face full of excitement.

"What?"

When Sovereign Lord Blue Scales, who was fighting with the black-armored Ghost Emperor, discovered that his subordinate had suddenly died, he was rather shocked.

How could the most powerful enemy be killed so quickly when he and the Silver Soul divine guards were busy dealing with the cat-man?

Ten kilometers away, in a dark corner, Chen Yu watched the battle of the Blood God Doppelganger.

"Not bad."

He commented.

The Blood God Doppelganger didn't have any fatal weaknesses, and its survivability was extremely high. Even if it was hit head-on by a mid-stage Mysterious Nether expert, it wouldn't die.

Furthermore, the Blood God Doppelganger could execute many Blood Dao secret arts, which gave it a great advantage against lifeforms with similar cultivation.

"Attack the next target!"

Chen Yu ordered the Blood God Doppelganger.

Swoosh!

The Blood God Doppelganger charged toward the second demon. The other party was dressed in green and had a pair of white wings on his back. His cultivation was at the mid-stage Mysterious Nether realm.

"Courting death!"

The green-robed demon knew that the blood-red figure was the culprit who had killed his classmate. He didn't look down on it. Instead, his killing intent intensified.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

The Holy Power in his body surged out and turned into two dazzling Holy Swords of Light, flying out.

The green-robed demon's cultivation was at the mid-stage Mysterious Nether realm. If he was hit by the attack, he wouldn't be able to endure it even with his unique physique and healing abilities.

Thus, the Blood God Doppelganger's body split down the middle.

Bang!

The green-robed demon's attack pierced through the middle. Only the remnant power affected the Blood God Doppelganger, but it didn't cause any damage.

"What?"

The green-robed demon's eyes widened. He didn't expect an early-stage Mysterious Nether enemy to dodge his attack like this.

Then, he saw the blood-red figure that had been split in two fuse back together. It opened its mouth and spat out a ball of sticky blood.

Whoosh! Whoosh!

Thousands of blood-red snakes swam out of the sticky blood.

Following that, thousands of blood-red snakes burned with the Glass Blood Flame. Their ferocious auras surged as they pounced toward the green-robed demon from all directions.

"This is … the Blood Glass Flame!"

The green-robed demon recognized the flame. Furthermore, the Blood Glass Flame's quality was extremely high, and it could pose a great threat to him.

He couldn't understand how a monster born in this Ghost City could possess the Blood Glass Flame.

Could it be that the blood-red figure had another origin?

The green-robed demon didn't have much time to think. Rays of sword light formed around him and swept through the surroundings. While fighting the Ghost Thearch, he also dealt with the Blood God Doppelganger's attacks.

"Burning Blood Art!"

The Blood God Doppelganger used a Blood Dao secret art.

The green-robed demon's blood seemed to be burning. The terrifying temperature made him uncomfortable.

"Damn it!"

The green-robed demon gritted his teeth.

The Blood God Doppelganger had many tricks up his sleeves. His Blood Dao attacks were accompanied by the Blood Glass Flame, which could threaten a mid-stage Mysterious Underworld being. He could also use other secret arts to interfere with the green-robed demon.

"Not bad, not bad."

Chen Yu was very satisfied with the Blood God Doppelganger's performance.

Currently, the Blood God Doppelganger had the ability to fight against a mid-stage Mysterious Underworld being.

Following that, Chen Yu saw the green-robed demon being forced to use a powerful combat technique.

"Sky Feather Sword!"

The green-robed demon spread his white wings and infused Sacred Power into them. In the next moment, thousands of white radiances were released. The sword intent was intense and dazzling.

This attack enveloped all the enemies around him, including the Blood God Doppelganger.

The Blood God Doppelganger didn't show any weakness. A layer of violent blood light burst out of his body and rushed out with the Glass Blood Flame. It collided with the green-robed demon's attack and counteracted it.

The green-robed demon's enemy wasn't just the Blood God Doppelganger. The other Ghost Thearchs were also attacking crazily.

After the killing move, the green-robed demon fell into a disadvantageous position again. He was forced into a corner, and the situation was dire.

At this rate, the Blood God Doppelganger was about to complete a double kill. Furthermore, the target was a mid-stage Mysterious Underworld being!

However, at this moment …

Swoosh!

A dark blue light beam pierced through all the vengeful ghosts in its path and killed them instantly.

This was the reinforcement from Thearch Lord Blue Scales.

That dark blue light beam contained the powerful Sacred Power of a late-stage Mysterious Underworld being. It destroyed everything violently and attacked the Blood God Doppelganger.

Bang!

There was an explosion, and dark blue aqueous light scattered.

A dark blue tortoiseshell shield suddenly appeared in front of the Blood God Doppelganger and blocked Thearch Lord Blue Scales' attack.

"What?"

Thearch Lord Blue Scales could sense that the Sacred Power contained in that dark blue tortoiseshell shield didn't belong to the Blood God Doppelganger.

In the next moment, a dazzling gold and silver radiance flickered in front of them. There were spatial blades and domineering, sharp claw marks that shrouded them.

These attacks seemed chaotic, but they didn't injure any Ghost Thearch. They instantly attacked Thearch Lord Blue Scales and the Silver Soul Race's Divine Guard.

The two late-stage Mysterious Underworld experts were focused on the Blood God Doppelganger and didn't expect there to be a powerful enemy hidden in the dark.

"What a powerful attack. Such profound Intent Power. Could it be that the other party is a peak late-stage Thearch Lord?"

The Silver Soul Race's Divine Guard exclaimed.

He and Thearch Lord Blue Scales were caught off guard and flustered.

Chi! Chi!

His waist was slashed by a sharp gold and silver claw mark, and his shoulder was pierced by a spatial blade. Blood splattered out.

Thearch Lord Blue Scales was in an even worse state. He had four wounds on his body and a bloody hole in his abdomen.

Shortly after, they saw a figure flying over.

"Chen Yu?"

Thearch Lord Blue Scales was in disbelief when he saw who it was.
