Chapter 201 - Chapter 201 - The Golden Sky and The Blood 2!

CLANG!!!

BOOOOM!!!

In the sky, two swords collided—one icy blue, the other bloody red. Their impact unleashed a massive destruction blast.

The atmosphere burst apart, golden dust spread outward from the collision point, and a vacuum formed in the middle of the sky. Yet, in the very next moment, nature instantly restored the damage done to the world.

The golden dust was drawn back into the space where the atmosphere had returned, forming a majestic tidal wave of shimmering golden light across the sky.

CLANG!!!

Another clash occurred, repeating the previous scene.

BOOOOM!!!

Xia Zhenhai was hurled backward, his arm numb from the force.

He was losing in the contest of strength against Chu Di—an expected result, as the demonic cultivators of the Blood Fiend Palace were known for their exceptional prowess in the martial path.

Their physical strength, speed, and reaction time tended to be superior to those of ordinary cultivators. This was thanks to their cultivation techniques, which focused on refining their blood, granting them enhanced physical attributes.

Chu Di, who stood at the peak status of the Blood Fiend Palace, had access to the best cultivation techniques and resources. The advantages these things granted him were far more apparent than those of any other demonic cultivator.

This resulted in him becoming one of the most powerful cultivators in terms of raw strength within the Seventh Heaven.

Chu Di dashed through the clouds and swung his crimson sword, unleashing a powerful wave of Crimson Sword Qi toward Xia Zhenhai.

Xia Zhenhai didn't remain idle. His sword gleamed with a brilliant blue light as ice Qi surged and condensed within it. In response, he released a blast of Icy Sword Qi to meet the incoming strike.

BOOM!!!

The two sword Qi collided mid-air, annihilating each other in a dazzling explosion of crimson and frost. But Chu Di didn't pause. He surged forward through the fading aftermath, his sword raised high as he slashed toward Xia Zhenhai.

CLANG!!!

Xia Zhenhai blocked the opponent's sword. In the next instant, a pair of snowbird wings unfolded behind him, flapping violently and releasing a burst of icy wind. Using their power, he disappeared from the opponent's sight, reappearing behind Chu Di in a flash as he swung his sword with deadly precision.

Chu Di reacted just in time, swiftly turning as his crimson sword flared with a crimson aura.

In the millisecond their eyes met—one pair of sapphire filled with hatred, the other pair of amber with disdain—they gazed intently at each other before their swords clashed.

CLANG!

SHING!!

BOOOOM!!!

Their battle raged on, showing no signs of ending anytime soon, unfolding high above in the sky.

The cultivators at the lower level in the sky trembled as they sensed the force of the clash between the two peak experts. They did everything they could to stay out of the devastating range of destruction.

Xia Zhenxue, who had also appeared on the battlefield, was fighting alongside her clan against the demonic cultivators.

She fully unleashed her power—the beastly traits of the Snow Phoenix emerged across her body: snowy wings, long icy claws, and shimmering feathers. These manifestations boosted her strength to the absolute limit, allowing her to go toe-to-toe with a Grand Unity expert.

The Divine Snow Flame ignited above her palm, radiating a pure, chilling brilliance. Xia Zhenxue wielded it with masterful control, launching relentless attacks at the demonic cultivators, preventing them from damaging the formation that protected the ritual.

BOOM!

Bathed in the searing white flame, one of the demonic cultivators was instantly disintegrated into dust. But another quickly descended from the sky, attempting to fill the dead man's place and trying to destroy the fortress formation.

BOOM!

Xia Zhenxue struck again, her Divine Snow Flame tearing through the air, annihilating every enemy who dared approach her.

She looked up—and her expression turned grim.

The sky was now flooded with demonic cultivators pouring endlessly from the Blood Moon Portal, like ants swarming from a torn nest. Their numbers had already reached the hundreds of millions, and not a single one was below the True Body Realm.

'This… isn't sustainable.' Xia Zhenxue thought.

The ritual required several days to complete. But at this rate, they would be overrun long before its conclusion. The defensive lines would collapse, the formation would shatter, and everything would fall apart.

'We have to stop that portal… or at least slow them down. Otherwise, no matter how hard we fight, we'll be drowned in their numbers.' With that thought, she immediately transmitted her concern to the Xia Clan elders through sound transmission.

Their responses came quickly, overlapping with tension.

"We know. We're thinking the same thing."

"We're already looking for a way to shut it down… but so far, nothing works."

They knew what needed to be done—what they lacked was the means to do it.

They have no idea how to shut the portal down.

This was because it was the first time the Blood Fiend Palace had used the Blood Moon for transportation purposes. Despite the spatial restriction formations laid across the region, they couldn't prevent the enemy from arriving through this spatial traversal method.

Xia Zhenxue had no other choice but to contact Chairman Lan.

She didn't want to trouble the company any further—they had already done more than enough. Many of her colleagues had died carrying out this mission, driven out the demonic cultivator from this continent, and she felt guilt weighed heavily on her. But right now, she couldn't think of any other way. If anyone knew what to do, it would be Chairman Lan.

Immediately, the Endless Wealth Company ID Card appeared in her hand, granting her access to the company system. She quickly sent a message to Chairman Lan—not to ask for him to come, as her clan was already done that—but to seek his wisdom. She asked if he knew of any way to close the portal at the center of the Blood Moon.

To her surprise, Chairman Lan responded almost instantly.

[Chairman Lan: …Ok]

"Ok?" Xia Zhenxue was puzzled. What did that even mean?!

However, Chairman Lan didn't leave her puzzled for long.

Suddenly, a thunderous sound echoed across the sky, drawing the attention of all cultivators on both sides of the battlefield. They immediately noticed what was happening.

The Blood Moon portal high above began to destabilize. The crimson fangs surrounding the portal shattered one by one, tearing apart the demonic cultivators who were about to cross over. The blood-red hole in the sky trembled violently, then began to sink inward—collapsing in on itself.

The Grand Elders of the Blood Fiend Palace were stunned. They had no idea what was happening—their secret method had been disrupted.

Without hesitation, they soared toward the collapsing portal, unleashing their power in an attempt to stabilize it.

Seeing this sudden opening, the peak experts on the dynasty's side finally moved. Until now, they had held back from engaging with the enemy peak experts, wary of the enemy's superior numbers. But with the Blood Fiend Elders distracted, the tide could change.

They struck without delay, targeting the Grand Elders as they tried to salvage the portal.

Four of the twelve Grand Elders broke away from the group to confront the incoming attackers, while the remaining elders focused on stabilizing the collapsing portal.

BOOM!

Another battle between peak-level experts had begun.

Meanwhile, Xia Zhenxue stood frozen, still gaping in disbelief.

'How…?' She thought in daze.

She had no idea how Chairman Lan had done it—but it didn't matter. What she needed to focus on now was the battle!

Xia Zhenxue pushed aside her confusion and resumed her assault against the demonic cultivators.

Her snowy wings flared wide as she soared through the sky at incredible speed, icy winds trailing in her wake like the tail of a storm. Wherever she passed, shards of frost and biting gales lashed out at the demonic cultivators, freezing and shattering hundreds in an instant.

Her rampage drew the attention of the enemy's high-ranking experts.

As she streaked across the battlefield, one of the enemy's Grand Unity experts appeared directly in her path, slashing down with a sword coated in malicious crimson qi.

Reacting swiftly, Xia Zhenxue raised her hand—an icy claw of qi materialized and collided with the incoming slash.

BOOM!

The sky shook from the clash. She skidded backward through the air, her feathers ruffled by the force.

Her eyes narrowed, locking onto the approaching enemy. This was no ordinary opponent.

Even in her current form, empowered by the beastly traits of the Snow Phoenix and boosted to a level comparable to the Grand Unity realm, she knew the truth—facing an actual Grand Unity expert in direct combat was still a step beyond her reach.

But she didn't retreat.

Not even an inch.

The white flame of the Divine Snow Flame surged from every inch of her body. A massive Snow Phoenix—formed entirely of blazing white fire—manifested in the sky, with her at its center. Its cry echoed through the heavens like a song of winter's wrath.

With a beat of its flaming wings, the phoenix shrieked and dove toward the enemy, a comet of divine frostfire aimed to annihilate all in its path.
