âCharge!â
âHaha. With the Blood Abyssâ power, weâre more powerful than ever. This time, Firmament Star is ours to take!â
âThatâs right! Attack!â
The Blood Tribe charged ferociously into battle, bringing all eighty-one strongholds into an intense battle.
The blood mist from the Blood Abyss had severely limited the Firmament Starâs Emperorsâ movements. Meanwhile, many cultivators below the Emperor Realm could not even survive, let alone fight.
Most of the strongholdsâ cultivators could only retreat into their base. Their only hope was to count on the strongholdâs mega formation to protect them. However, the likelihood of it succeeding seemed thin too.
As the blood mist spread throughout space, it not only surrounded all of the strongholds but also gradually approached the Detaching Heaven Megaformation.
In Firmament Star.
The once clear, blue sky had been dyed with a layer of red as countless cultivators stared upwards in horror.
âWhatâs going on? The skyâs turning red.â
âWhat the hell is happening?!â
âWhat a strange and eerie auraâ¦â
The Emperors residing within Firmament Star were horrified. Deep down, they knew what was happening.
âItâs the Blood Tribeâs aura!â
âWhatâs the Blood Tribe doing this time? Theyâve remained quiet for many years now. Whatâre they up to?â
âWill Firmament Star be able to survive this unprecedented disaster?â
The Emperorsâ gazes were solemn, and they felt very uneasy.
Countless living beings were overwhelmed by panic.
â¦
In the Extraterritorial Region.
All twenty-four Daoist Celestials were gathered.
Their extraordinary strengths had allowed them to trespass the blood mist to arrive at the Blood Abyss.
âLetâs deal with this Blood Abyss first!â
âTry using our miniverses.â
The Transcendental Daoist Celestial leaped forward.
He unfolded his miniverse, which engulfed millions of kilometers of space in radius.
The miniverse managed to contain the Blood Abyss and momentarily halt the spread of the blood mist. However, it did not take long before the blood mist eroded the Transcendental Daoist Celestialâs miniverse away.
âI donât think Iâll be able to pull this off alone,â said the Transcendental Daoist Celestial solemnly.
âTogether!â
The Daoist Celestials were prepared to strike in unison.
Just then, a peal of laughter echoed from within the Blood Abyss.
âDaoist Celestials of Firmament Star, your doomsday has arrived!â
The Ardent King and all the other Blood Kings had arrived.
All of them looked at the Transcendental Daoist Celestial and others with a mischievous look across their faces.
Having sensed the Daoist Celestials and the Blood Kingsâ auras from their respective strongholds, the commodores began to worry.

âThe Daoist Celestials are about to fight the Blood Kings. Could this be the ultimate battle between the Blood Tribe and Firmament Star?â
âWho wouldâve thought it would come to this point?â
âOh heavens, what are we walking intoâ¦â
âItâs twelve Blood Kings against twenty-four of our Daoist Celestials? It seems like we have the upper hand in this battle.â
Some of the cultivators were optimistic.
However, the Heavenly Imperials did not share the same sentiment. Their worries only grew as they continued observing their surrounding blood mists.
âIâm afraid itâs not that simple.â
The Daoist Celestials and the Blood Kings were facing off against each other in front of the Blood Abyss.
Twelve Blood Kings versus twenty-four Daoist Celestials.
âHmph, you sure have the guts to show up here. Arenât you afraid weâll finish you off all at once?â The Transcendental Daoist Celestial snorted.
âBased on your current predicament, I wonât be so confident.â
The Ardent King chuckled.
He then grabbed a ball of blood mist and infused it into his body. There was a hint of joy over his face. âThe blood mists that come from the Blood Abyss serve as empowering nourishment for every Blood Tribe soldier on the battlefields. However, theyâre nothing but powerful toxins to the Firmament Star cultivators!â
âEspecially for all of you who have come so close to the Blood Abyss, I believe you were even struggling to expand your miniverse? While there may be twenty-four Daoist Celestials on your side, your combat strengths are now much weaker than us.â
The twenty-four Daoist Celestials did not refute.
They could clearly feel the mounting oppression as they got closer to the Blood Abyss. They may outnumber the Blood Tribeâs Daoist Celestials, but their combat strengths had been severely restricted.
It would be a tough battle ahead!
âUnleashing this Blood Abyss must have cost the Blood Origin Star quite a fortune. I wonder how long this abyss will last.â
The Transcendental Daoist Celestial said.
They knew that this was no simple feat to pull off for the Blood Tribe. If it were simple, the Blood Tribe would have used it a long time ago.
âIndeed, it isnât the easiest thing to set up. Fortunately, once all of you are dead, nothing in Firmament Star can stop us, and itâll all be worth it.â
âThat depends if you have what it takes to kill us.â
A white orb appeared above the Transcendental Daoist Celestial.
It was his Daoist Weapon.
The rest of the Daoist Celestials, too, took out their weapons and unleashed waves of terrifying energies onto the battlefield.
The universe shuddered in its powers.
The Ardent King glanced across his opponent and said, âWhy isnât Chu Kuangren here? Has he chickened out of this fight?â
Then, the Heavenly Imperial Daoist Celestial glanced at the Transcendental Daoist Celestial and said, âThis battle is of crucial importance. Why isnât Chu Kuangren here?â
The rest of the Daoist Celestials were curious too.
Chu Kuangren had the ability to slay a Daoist Celestial, so he had long been considered as a person of the same level as them. Why did he not show up to this great battle between the Daoist Celestials?
Had he deserted the battlefield?
âBrother Chu is in the midst of some preparation.â
The Transcendental Daoist Celestial replied calmly.
âHeh, no matter what plan he has, the Blood Abyss cannot be stopped. Youâre all finished!â the Ardent King said.
âLetâs fight!â
The Transcendental Daoist Celestial was the first to attack.
The white orb glowed majestically as it released a ray of white light that was infused with countless Daoist patterns.
The Ardent King retaliated with a fist technique.
Boom!
The Daoist Celestialsâ attacks collided, and the shockwave forced the Transcendental Daoist Celestial back!
âD*mn it. The Blood Abyssâ limitation is troubling.â
The Transcendental Daoist Celestial said.
âIâm here to help, Transcendental Brother!â
The Bull Demon Daoist Celestial roared in anger, conjuring a black ox apparition behind him. Its shriek was so loud that it shook the planets nearby.
The Ardent King lifted his hand and effortlessly shattered the apparition. Then, he retrieved a dark longsword, which one could hear the wails of countless perished souls echoing off its blade.
âToday, the Daoist Celestials of Firmament Star shall perish at this spit!â
âFirmament Star shall be for the Blood Tribe to take, and their cultivators shall be our slaves to make!â
The Ardent King laughed triumphantly.
âYou wish!â
âYouâll never take over Firmament Star!â
The Blood Kings and the Daoist Celestials clashed in an epic battle.
Their boundless energies spread into the universe. As the strongholds afar felt its terrifying energy wave, all of them shook.
Boom!
The Bull Demon Daoist Celestial was knocked out of battle by the Ardent Kingâs sword.
He spat out mouthfuls of blood.
âD*mn it. This Blood Abyss is too strong.â
The Bull Demon Daoist Celestial looked worriedly at the rest of his comrades.
Like him, the rest of the Daoist Celestials could not utilize their fullest strengths under the influence of the Blood Abyss. As a result, the Blood Kingsâ relentless attacks had left most of them wounded.
âD*mn it!â
âWeâve come so far. Is this where it all ends?â
The Bull Demon Daoist Celestial said begrudgingly.
For twelve eras, they had held their grounds. Would the Daoist Celestials finally be defeated by a Blood Abyss?
