These were precisely the things Yi Tianxing most wanted to understand.
The Blood Moons were untouchable—each housed a slumbering Great Demon God. If he approached recklessly, he could be obliterated in an instant. He had no desire to test his luck; that would be nothing short of suicide.
"The Summoning Demon Pool requires a Summoning Reincarnation Array, a Chaos Demon Stone, and a drop of essence blood from a peak-level powerhouse to serve as the bloodline seed."
"For example, the pool in Bloodflame City contains a drop of essence blood from a top expert of my Blood Demon Clan. The demon slaves birthed from this pool all carry our bloodline. If they awaken during slaughter, they can return to the clan as full-blooded kin."
It was akin to raising gu insects—a brutal, selective evolution through survival and death. Among countless demon slaves, those who awakened their bloodlines through battle would become elite warriors. These "newly born" blood demons were like gifts from the heavens—an efficient method for exponentially increasing a clan's strength over time.
"No wonder the Eternal Night realm possesses endless war potential. This system solves all logistical issues—it's terrifyingly ingenious."
Yi Tianxing finally understood.
With the Blood Moons and Summoning Pools, Eternal Night could send wave after wave of disposable troops without expending its true power. It was a realm built for endless war.
In a way, Eternal Night was like a meat grinder on the battlefield—resilient and shamelessly aggressive.
"What is this Chaos Demon Stone?"
Yi Tianxing pressed on.
It was the only component he hadn't identified yet—not even his Innate Yin-Yang Eyes could detect it.
"The Chaos Demon Stone comes from the higher realms—specifically, from the Demon God Halls. No one knows how it's created. What we do know is that it possesses the power to turn illusion into reality, to make dreams come true."
"It's the Chaos Demon Stone that allows the pool to transform desire into actual life. It serves as the heart of the entire process."
"In fact, the statue standing within the blood pool—that's the Chaos Demon Stone."
Yi Tianxing's eyes narrowed slightly.
He hadn't noticed. The blood demon statue, roughly two meters tall, appeared ordinary. But to think it was forged from such a legendary artifact—it made perfect sense if the object had come from the hands of a top Eternal Night Demon God.
"How many of these stones exist? Are they rare?"
"We don't know. But whenever a Summoning Pool is established, we can request one, and it will descend from the heavens and fuse with the pool. There's never been a shortage."
Their answers came quickly and without resistance.
Under the power of the Divine Command, they could do nothing but obey. They were like the most honest men in the world—unable to lie, even if they wanted to.
"So these Chaos Demon Stones and the Summoning Pools—they're not simple. But they are the foundation of Eternal Night's strength."
"If they were destroyed, it would deal irreparable damage to Eternal Night—at the very least, it would hurt them where it counts."
Yi Tianxing brooded silently.
He asked a few more questions, but it became clear they knew no more. So, he acted.
Yin-Yang chains appeared and pierced into their bodies. Their souls were ripped free, crushed under the power of the Innate Yin-Yang Divine Chart, and refined into pure soul essence.
At the same time, their memories were preserved as Soul Codices—records of their lives.
Irrelevant information was destroyed, leaving behind only vital memories: cultivation methods, combat techniques, and clan secrets.
He soon transcribed them into jade tomes, to be stored in the Scripture Pavilion of his own realm.
Their techniques included:
The clan's core technique, Blood Demon Scripture
The basic cultivation art, Blood Spirit Manual
And references to the top-tier technique, Ten Thousand Spirits Blood Canon, which only clan prodigies could cultivate.
He now held detailed knowledge of their bloodline cultivation hierarchy.
Even their blood-based magical techniques and combat skills—all acquired.
"Now then… time to get to work."
Yi Tianxing put away the corpses without a trace, sealing them inside his treasure pagoda.
This mission had one goal: destruction.
Bloodflame City would be the starting point—the spark that ignited the invasion of Eternal Night.
Yi Tianxing stepped out from the house and walked calmly toward the city's central plaza.
There, countless blood demon slaves were still being churned out from the Summoning Pool and directed outward like a production line.
"This… is where the war begins."
He stepped into the plaza, and the Great Divination Celestial Umbrella in his hand rose into the air.
As it ascended, it rapidly expanded—until it blotted out the sky.
Only Yi Tianxing could see its true form; to everyone else, it was like an invisible, formless barrier manifesting overhead.
They could sense something... but not what it was.
"Who are you!?"
"A human—he's human! I smell blood!"
"How could a human be here? This is our Blood Demon war city!"
"No… he's not one of us. That's the Eternal World's aura!"
When Yi Tianxing released the umbrella, he also lifted his concealment.
His form appeared openly in the square.
His vital energy—like a beacon in the dark—drew every blood demon's attention.
And it wasn't by accident.
A flash of light burst beneath his feet—
The Nine-Dragon War Chariot appeared and lifted him into the air.
The Primordial Dragon Sons roared, their pressure exploding outward like a tidal wave, forcing the surrounding demon slaves to stagger backward in retreat.
"Who dares invade Bloodflame City?!"
In the City Lord's Mansion, within a sacred blood pool brimming with essence, a red-robed youth sat in meditation, absorbing power.
His aura surged with every passing moment.
This was the City Lord of Bloodflame City, a True Spirit Realm powerhouse known as Crimsonflame Demon Lord.
Normally, he remained in seclusion—after all, no one dared attack a Demon City.
But now—suddenly—a foreign aura had appeared in the heart of the city.
A powerful, unfamiliar force. One that rivaled his own.
It alarmed him deeply.
He instantly transformed into a beam of blood light and appeared in the plaza.
One glance—and his expression shifted drastically.
"A human… from the Eternal World!? No—you're Yi Tianxing! The ruler of the Great Yi Dynasty!"
His eyes widened in disbelief.
As a high-ranking blood demon, he had access to battlefield intelligence. Yi Tianxing's name and image had appeared many times in war reports and bounty scrolls.
He recognized him instantly.
"Why are you here?! You should be on the Divine-Demonic Battlefield, fighting our forces—how did you get into the Eternal Night realm!?"
It didn't matter how he'd arrived.
What mattered was why he had come.
There was no peace to be made between them.
Only war.
Yi Tianxing stared coldly at Crimsonflame Demon Lord.
"This is Eternal Night's battlefield? You invaded our Eternal World—why shouldn't we return the favor?"
"Last epoch, our forebears pushed into your world. This epoch, it's my turn."
"Did you think Eternal Night could trample the Eternal World at will? That we would simply endure it?"
"Today, I stand here to declare: The Great Yi Empire does not allow this."
"From this day forward, our Eternal World will invade Eternal Night."
"And we begin… with the massacre of Bloodflame City."
His voice echoed with icy resolve—filled with mockery and disdain.
Others didn't dare—but he would.Others didn't kill—but he would.
He would be the first man to raise the banner of war within Eternal Night.
"You court death! Bloodflame City, prepare for battle! Kill him!!"
Crimsonflame Demon Lord trembled with fury and bellowed his command.
