Chapter 111: The Fall of the Baidan Holy Kingdom

The name "Young Master Chen" had long since become thunderous throughout the Eastern Region. Yet now, this ancient primordial demon had actually declared himself to be one of Young Master Chen’s subordinates. Heavens, there had been an ancient demon by Young Master Chen’s side all along. The world of the powerful was truly insane; even an ancient demon bowed in submission to him!

"Hahahaha!" The Blood Demon Ancestor was truly frenzied, throwing his head back and laughing, releasing monstrous demonic energy that surged into the sky. His arms danced continuously, flashing like lightning to snatch up the elite warriors of the Baidan Holy Kingdom. The speed at which he absorbed their blood essence was terrifying; one by one, the warriors of the Baidan Holy Kingdom vanished into nothingness within his demonic grasp. He had come specifically to consume blood essence, so everyone who fell into his clutches was utterly annihilated, leaving no other fate.

"Hahaha!" Donggong Fu laughed aloud, "Young Master Chen has acted! He has finally intervened to assist us!"

"Don't be afraid of anything, just fight!" The warriors of the thirty-five holy kingdoms were instantly overcome with extreme excitement. Donggong Qianxue, Nalan Ruoshui, Bing Mu’er, Mu Wanqing, and Huangfu Meng were so moved that their eyes brimmed with tears. They were but pawns in Young Master Chen’s game, and after being with him for so long, they were finally witnessing him make a move. It was truly heart-stirring!

"Wahahaha, delightful! Simply too delightful!" The Blood Demon Ancestor laughed, and as he crazily absorbed the blood essence, the aura emanating from him could be clearly felt climbing higher and higher. Eons ago, he had been sabotaged by Tianwu of the God Realm and cast into the Yinxue Realm through a void gate. After lying dormant for an eternity, he had finally erupted in full force. The long-lost pleasure of slaughter and the rapid recovery of his strength filled him with boundless excitement.

Under the influence of Huangfu Meng’s war music, the people of the thirty-five holy kingdoms had eyes burning red, their expressions fierce as they engaged in a frenzied battle against the warriors of the Baidan Holy Kingdom like vengeful spirits.

"Kill!"
"Don't be afraid of anything, just fight!"

Clearly, those six words casually spoken by Chen Changsheng had already become a legendary mantra. Without a doubt, this was a one-sided massacre; no matter how deep the foundation of the Baidan Holy Kingdom was, it could not withstand the combined force of the thirty-five holy kingdoms. Before long, aside from the three ancestors of the Baidan Holy Kingdom and Hua Manlou, the rest of the elite warriors had been slaughtered to the last man. The ground was littered with corpses scattered in every direction, and blood flowed like a river. The air was thick with blood-red mist and a suffocating, pungent scent of gore. The entire Baidan Imperial Dynasty had turned into a living hell.

"Spring, Summer, and Autumn, you three ancestors are not bad!" The Blood Demon Ancestor looked at the three Baidan ancestors, then shifted his gaze to Hua Manlou, his face filled with greed. "And Hua Manlou, you’re not bad either. Become my pet."

As he spoke, he suddenly transformed into a cloud of demonic mist, surging rapidly toward Hua Manlou and engulfing him in an instant.

"Ah! Three ancestors, save me!" Hua Manlou’s screams echoed from within the rolling demonic clouds.

"Demon, you court death!" The three ancestors of the Baidan Holy Kingdom roared in unison and charged forward. However, the swirling demonic clouds suddenly shot upward, reforming into a giant demonic shadow dozens of meters tall. Hua Manlou, however, had vanished completely.

"Hiss..." Everyone present drew a sharp breath. This ancient demon of Young Master Chen’s was too terrifying; in the blink of an eye, he had captured Hua Manlou without leaving him the slightest chance to resist. One must realize that the current Hua Manlou was someone who had been implanted with the Winter Seed.

Even Chen Die’er blinked in disbelief. "This old man is a little bit powerful."

"Indeed. I dare say that this old demon must have been a formidable existence who shook his domain back in the God Realm," Chen Changsheng remarked, recovering his composure. "It seems this great battle has restored quite a bit of his strength."

"Mm," Chen Die’er nodded in agreement.

The three ancestors of the Baidan Holy Kingdom were equally stunned, their hearts churning with turbulent waves. "What... what kind of existence are you?"

"Oh, allow me to introduce myself. I am the Blood Demon Ancestor, from the God Realm." The Blood Demon Ancestor’s towering shadow stood in the air, looking down at the three Baidan ancestors with undisguised disdain. "Therefore, you have no room for resistance. You can only乖乖 (obediently) become my pets."

A demon from the God Realm? The three ancestors of the Baidan Holy Kingdom, along with everyone else present, were struck with extreme shock once again. What kind of place was the God Realm? They had never heard of it! But from the name alone, they knew it must be an incredibly high-level world. If even a demon from a higher world was willing to bow in submission to Young Master Chen, just what kind of being was Young Master Chen? It was terrifying—truly terrifying!

"Retreat!" The three ancestors of the Baidan Holy Kingdom dared not linger any longer and scrambled to escape in different directions. Though they were in the form of ancient trees, their speed was immense, transforming them into three fleeting aftershades.

"Ridiculous. Do you think you can escape before me?" The Blood Demon Ancestor sneered with contempt, suddenly transforming into a rolling cloud of demonic energy and surging forward at high speed. In the blink of an eye, the cloud overtook one of the ancestors and swept him up.

"Ah!" A scream rang out from the demonic cloud, and then, silence followed. The next moment, the cloud surged toward the next ancestor; the first had already vanished from existence.

"Hiss..." The people from the thirty-five holy kingdoms all drew a sharp breath, their hearts trembling violently. This demon from the God Realm was indeed terrifying to the extreme. They had already experienced how formidable the three ancestors of the Baidan Holy Kingdom were, yet in an instant, one had been taken by the Blood Demon Ancestor without a chance to resist. Before long, the remaining two were dealt with by the same method and easily subdued.

"Hahaha, a great harvest!" The Blood Demon Ancestor laughed heartily, transforming back into a wisp of black smoke that dived straight into Chen Die’er’s necklace.

"So, this Blood Demon Ancestor has been inside the necklace of Young Master Chen’s daughter all along..." Everyone’s hearts trembled, and the way they looked at Chen Die’er turned exceptionally strange. This porcelain-like child was undoubtedly the most terrifying girl in the world, bar none! Even Donggong Qianxue, who had served as a maid for Chen Die’er for a month, had only just learned that such a terrifying ancient demon resided within the necklace.

The battle concluded. Clearly, the Eastern Region had become the domain of the thirty-five holy kingdoms; from this day forth, the Baidan Holy Kingdom was no more.

...

Chen Changsheng and his daughter returned to Qingshui Town to continue their secluded life. Of course, this was only temporary, for in a few days, they would follow Donggong Qianxue into the Holy Region. The Holy Region had always been a place Chen Changsheng wished to visit, for a void gate existed there. He intended to find that gate and enter the God Realm.

"Old Demon, the harvest this time was quite substantial. Tell me, how much of your memory and strength have you recovered? Have you recalled the specific location of that void gate in the Holy Region?" Chen Changsheng asked the Blood Demon Ancestor.

The Blood Demon Ancestor emerged from Chen Die’er’s necklace as a wisp of black smoke, took on human form, and said excitedly, "Young Master Chen, the harvest this time was truly excellent! I am currently preparing to properly 'reform' the three ancestors of the Baidan Holy Kingdom and Hua Manlou."

"Answer my question first before you ramble about anything else." Chen Changsheng frowned slightly.
