Chapter 826: Creation and the Sea of Divine Blood
Seeing Xiao Ze a Heavenly Sovereign capable of shattering worlds laughing and chatting so casually with Xiao Yan and Yao Lao caused a ripple of shock among the divine beasts present.
Those who had previously clashed with Xiao Yan turned pale, their minds racing.
From their conversation, they gathered that this supreme Heavenly Sovereign was Xiao Yan's younger brother.
And Xiao Yan... was his elder brother?!
Had someone told them earlier that a Heavenly Sovereign level expert had an older brother still at the Earthly Sovereign level, they would have laughed outright. After all, a Heavenly Sovereign had access to near limitless resources. Wouldn't their blood relatives be elevated to incredible heights as well?
Perhaps, they thought, the two brothers were estranged?
Yet Xiao Ze had crossed realms to rescue Xiao Yan, risking confrontation with a terrifying Demon Emperor. That level of dedication hardly seemed like the action of a man estranged from his family.
Respecting the Three Beast Sovereigns
After catching up with Xiao Yan and Yao Lao, Xiao Ze turned his attention to the Three Beast Sovereigns.
"Junior Xiao Ze greets the Three Beast Sovereigns," he said, clasping his hands respectfully.
"It's said that in ancient times, the Divine Beast Continent faced a great calamity, and the three of you sacrificed yourselves to suppress the demonic scourge. Junior holds your deeds in the highest regard."
Hearing this, the Three Beast Sovereigns smiled warmly.
To be acknowledged by one of the Great Thousand World's peak figures after millennia brought them pride. Moreover, Xiao Ze wasn't just any Heavenly Sovereign his ability to slay an immortal grade Demon Emperor meant he was a future pillar in the battle against the Extraterrestrial Demons.
They exchanged polite greetings with Xiao Ze, treating him as an equal rather than a junior.
Returning the Legacy Blood
With the pleasantries over, Xiao Ze flipped his palm, revealing three drops of legacy blood.
Each drop glowed with overwhelming energy and manifested the images of a fiery Ancient Undying Bird, a radiant Myriad Spirit Bird, and a primal Ancient Wild Beast.
The Beast Sovereigns froze for a moment before their faces lit with joy.
"This... this is our legacy blood!"
Earlier, they had used their legacy blood to form the Blood Aura Canopy to resist the demonic presence. It had nearly been destroyed by the Demon Emperor's corrosive power.
Yet here it was, intact in Xiao Ze's hands.
"I enveloped this realm with the Starry Sky Diagram and sensed remnants of your legacy blood's energy. I gathered the fragments, knowing the loss of such powerful bloodlines would be a tragedy for the Great Thousand World," Xiao Ze explained.
"I now return it to you, hoping it will foster another generation of peak level experts for our world."
Xiao Ze extended the three drops of blood toward the Beast Sovereigns while glancing at the surrounding divine beasts.
Reprimanding the Divine Beasts
The Beast Sovereigns exchanged glances before the muscular sovereign snorted in disdain.
"Hmph! These fools caused this calamity in the first place. They don't deserve our legacy!"
The refined sovereign nodded solemnly.
"If they hadn't been blinded by greed, spilling divine beast blood in their brawls, this disaster would never have occurred."
The divine beasts trembled under the reprimands, their faces ashen.
Xiao Ze spoke up, his tone measured.
"While their actions led to the calamity, it's difficult for anyone to remain calm in the face of such treasures. Perhaps their error was unintentional."
Hearing Xiao Ze plead for leniency, the divine beasts looked at him with gratitude.
The elegant sovereign sighed, her gaze sweeping over the subdued beasts.
"Even so, their lack of resolve shows they would struggle to pass our trials. Granting them a second chance might be futile."
Seeing that the Beast Sovereigns were unmoved, Xiao Ze didn't press further. After all, he hadn't expected them to distribute their legacy blood just yet.
Dismissing the Divine Beasts
The elegant sovereign waved her sleeve, summoning a spatial gateway.
"Your time in the Divine Beast Continent ends here," she declared.
The divine beasts didn't dare linger. They quickly retreated toward the gateway, fearful the sovereigns might punish them further. Before leaving, they bowed deeply to Xiao Ze, expressing their heartfelt gratitude for his intervention and rescue.
The Sea of Divine Blood
As the divine beasts departed, the altar grew quiet, leaving only Xiao Ze and the Three Beast Sovereigns.
The elegant sovereign stepped forward with a smile.
"Xiao Ze, we are grateful for your aid in resolving this crisis. There is a great opportunity here one I believe will interest you."
"Oh?" Xiao Ze raised an eyebrow. "If it's worthy of your attention, I'm certainly intrigued."
The Three Beast Sovereigns chuckled.
"Rest assured, even for a Heavenly Sovereign, it's a rare and extraordinary fortune," the refined sovereign assured him.
The three began forming intricate hand seals, their combined power distorting the space around Xiao Ze.
Moments later, the scenery changed.
Xiao Ze found himself standing before a vast blood red sea that stretched beyond the horizon.
This was no ordinary sea. Though it shimmered crimson, there was no scent of blood. Instead, its surface occasionally rippled with the ethereal shadows of legendary divine beasts.
Every wave radiated unimaginable spiritual energy, dense enough to make the air hum with power.
Xiao Ze's Thoughts
"So this is the Sea of Divine Blood, the culmination of countless divine beast bloodlines," Xiao Ze murmured, his expression serious.
The boundless energy flowing through the sea was terrifying, yet captivating.
For Xiao Ze, this opportunity was truly monumental a chance to unlock even greater potential in his journey toward the peak of the Great Thousand World.
