# Chapter 103: Blood Feast
The Origin Continent possessed a vast and frigid ice plain, known as the “Celestial Ice Plain.” Its territory was so expansive that it rivaled the Flamewind Ancient Kingdom. However, the Celestial Ice Plain’s harsh environment meant that its cultivator population was less than one percent of the Flamewind Ancient Kingdom’s.
In the Celestial Ice Plain, there were no established kingdoms, only scattered factions.
“Hoo.” Marquis Nine Ginger’s avatar gazed at the icy city before him, “Frostwind City.”
Frostwind City was a large city, constructed entirely of ice, with a population several times greater than that of Willow Sun City.
In the Celestial Ice Plain, only cities housed a sufficient number of cultivators; outside, one rarely saw tribes. The inhospitable environment made it difficult for tribes to survive.
“Frostwind Great Sage has finally emerged from seclusion.” Marquis Nine Ginger had received word and come to visit Frostwind Great Sage once again.
Within the towering city, at its heart, stood a massive cave dwelling, belonging to the city’s master, “Frostwind Great Sage.”
“Marquis Nine Ginger, please.” An Eternal True God servant personally guided him through the main gate of the cave dwelling.
Soon, they arrived at a grand hall.
“Come, come, old friend Nine Ginger, have a seat.” A burly figure with dark cyan skin sat there, grinning. “I was in seclusion practicing before, making old friend Nine Ginger wait for so long.”
“Brother Frostwind’s cultivation is of the utmost importance,” Marquis Nine Ginger said, offering flattering words with a smile.
The people he sought for aid were existences no less powerful than Marquis Flowing Shadow!
This Frostwind Great Sage lived a carefree life and did not wish to join any kingdom. He occupied a large city, commanded billions of cultivators, and cultivated at ease, yet no one dared provoke him.
In terms of strength, Frostwind Great Sage was no less than Marquis Flowing Shadow, a peak Chaos realm existence.
In terms of background, Frostwind Great Sage had once been a nominal disciple under an Emperor Lord of the Flamewind Ancient Kingdom, but the Flamewind Ancient Kingdom gathered too many elites, and competition was fierce. Frostwind Great Sage ultimately chose to leave the Flamewind Ancient Kingdom and become a carefree Chaos Great Sage in the Celestial Ice Plain.
“Haha, Nine Ginger always speaks so pleasantly.” Frostwind Great Sage grinned. “Speak, what brings you here?”
Marquis Nine Ginger put down his wine cup and said, “Brother Frostwind, my neighbor, Marquis Flowing Shadow, is now plotting to seize my territory…”
“I have heard of your matter,” Frostwind Great Sage nodded. “Marquis Flowing Shadow is fierce and tyrannical; it would be strange if he didn’t bully you.”
Marquis Nine Ginger’s expression stiffened, and he nodded. “I indeed have no confidence in resisting him, so I came to seek assistance! If Brother Frostwind is willing to help, feel free to name your price.”
Frostwind Great Sage grasped his large cyan-gold wine cup, finished his drink, and then said, “Within your Jade Country, there is no Chaos realm willing to help you, is there?”
Marquis Nine Ginger nodded. “Yes, within our Jade Country, there are few who can match Marquis Flowing Shadow. Even the King would have difficulty mobilizing them. If I ask, how could I possibly get them to move?”
“Of course, you can’t!”
Frostwind Great Sage put down his wine cup. “It takes countless hardships to become a Chaos realm. Who is willing to risk their life for you? If you were to offer treasures like ‘God King Weapons’ as an invitation, you might be able to invite a powerful helper. But do you have such treasures?”
“No,” Marquis Nine Ginger said.
“You say ‘name your price,’ but in reality, you can’t offer any real treasures. Who is willing to risk their life for you against Marquis Flowing Shadow?” Frostwind Great Sage shook his head. “Who is Marquis Flowing Shadow? He is already fierce and tyrannical, holding grudges! He is also a peak Chaos realm existence, and might break through to the God King level at any time.”
“Risking your life against such an existence? And you go to invite help with nothing but empty words?” Frostwind Great Sage scoffed. “Nine Ginger, you have truly erred in this matter.”
“Brother Frostwind, I know that the treasures I can offer are too few,” Marquis Nine Ginger said helplessly. “But it involves my territory, and I have no choice.”
“Your territory has three large cities and one hundred and eighty-nine ordinary cities,” Frostwind Great Sage said jokingly. “If I were to help you protect your territory, in the future, the ‘cultivator residence fees’ from two large cities and one hundred ordinary cities would forever belong to me. Can you accept that?”
Marquis Nine Ginger felt somewhat embarrassed.
Would he only be left with Nine Ginger City and a small number of ordinary cities?
Even a top-tier Chaos realm existence without ambition could easily occupy a large city.
Would he risk everything to fight Marquis Flowing Shadow at any cost, only to be left with so little? What need was there to fight?
“See, you are unwilling to part with it.”
Frostwind Great Sage shook his head. “The matter of contending for territory is not a temporary struggle, but a long-term one. It is to completely offend Marquis Flowing Shadow to death! Without sufficient benefits, no one is willing to help you. Come, come, let’s not talk about business, let’s drink.”
Marquis Nine Ginger could only drink in frustration.
A cycle of time had passed.
He had thought that with so many friends, he might be able to invite a powerful helper.
But when it came to risking their lives against Marquis Flowing Shadow, not a single one could be persuaded!
…
Outside Willow Sun City.
Whoosh.
Crimson flames coalesced, revealing Marquis Flowing Shadow’s avatar.
“From the last battle at Willow Sun City, Marquis Nine Ginger should have realized that he cannot win in a clash of Eternal level armies.” Marquis Flowing Shadow gazed remotely at Willow Sun City. “So, he has been going to various places inviting friends to help him.”
Marquis Flowing Shadow had also heard that Marquis Nine Ginger was going to some places to invite experts.
“A cycle of time has passed; Marquis Nine Ginger should recognize reality. I bet he can’t invite a single one.” Marquis Flowing Shadow was very confident; this was a confidence forged over a long period.
He had always acted fiercely and tyrannically, and even existences of the same level had to weigh the cost of intervening.
“Even if he invites help, we will still have to decide a victor.” Marquis Flowing Shadow thought.
The reason he was waiting patiently was that even if the Eternal level legions were to win and temporarily occupy three large cities, if Marquis Nine Ginger were to invite powerful help, he would still have to enter the battlefield.
It was better to wait patiently and wait for the situation to become clear.
Perhaps Marquis Nine Ginger, knowing his own lack of strength, would completely back down and directly cede his territory.
“Yan’er.” Marquis Flowing Shadow ordered through a voice transmission.
“Father.” Inside Willow Sun City, at the Shadowheart Sect’s base, Flowing Shadow Yan heard his father’s voice transmission.
“You can contact your senior brothers and sisters now, and have those two Snow Realm Envoys come over as well,” Marquis Flowing Shadow transmitted. “After your senior brothers and sisters arrive, prepare fully, and then start the war. I guess… this time, Marquis Nine Ginger will probably take the initiative to concede.”
“Yes, Father,” Flowing Shadow Yan said, overjoyed.
******
Inside Willow Sun City.
The crimson-robed youth, “Flowing Shadow Yan,” was overjoyed to receive his father’s order and immediately contacted his senior brothers and sisters.
“The war between my Flowing Shadow Chaos Province and Nine Ginger Chaos Province has reached its final moment. My father predicts that Marquis Nine Ginger, knowing he is no match for us, will probably take the initiative to concede.” Flowing Shadow Yan transmitted. “Please assist me, senior brothers and sisters, in attacking Marquis Nine Ginger’s military formations.”
“Master has already instructed us that we should assist.” “Rest assured, junior brother, we will arrive as quickly as possible.”
Having received the Snow Realm Ancestor’s approval, the other two Snow Realm Envoys were already prepared, and would naturally rush to assist as quickly as possible once Marquis Flowing Shadow summoned them.
After the transmission was cut off,
Flowing Shadow Yan was quite excited.
“Young Master Yan, since the Marquis said that Marquis Nine Ginger will take the initiative to concede, it seems that this battle will go very smoothly.” The black-armored general beside him was also excited and expectant.
“What can that Marquis Nine Ginger use to fight my father?” Flowing Shadow Yan laughed. “My senior brothers and sisters are about to arrive; I must prepare some food for them.”
“Prepare food?” The black-armored general’s eyes lit up.
He had cultivated with the Young Master in the Snow Realm and knew very well what was meant by food.
“Rest assured, I will share a bit with you as well,” Flowing Shadow Yan glanced at his subordinate.
“Thank you, Young Master Yan,” the black-armored general said, overjoyed.
Flowing Shadow Yan casually made a gesture, and a model of Willow Sun City appeared before him. He looked at it and pointed to one area. “Willow Sun City has countless cultivators. This is the Windwing District of Willow Sun City, and about ten billion cultivators live in this area. Sending it to my senior brothers and sisters as food is still passable.”
!.
“Let’s go.”
Flowing Shadow Yan led his subordinates and quietly left the Shadowheart Sect’s base together, riding a Snow Realm Envoy.
A single Snow Realm Envoy could not defeat Marquis Nine Ginger’s military formations. But simply protecting itself was still easy.
Even Luo Feng’s surface-level display of strength could do nothing to the ‘Snow Realm Envoy.’
Whoosh!
This Snow Realm Envoy left the Shadowheart Sect’s territory and headed straight for Willow Sun City’s Windwing District.
…
“That Young Master Yan has left the base?” The Shadowheart Sect Leader and the Eighteen Elders all quickly received the news.
“We only need to keep an eye on the City Lord’s Mansion. The Snow Realm Envoy comes and goes freely, and no one can threaten it,” the Shadowheart Sect Leader instructed. The other elders understood, and they were not qualified to manage that Snow Realm Envoy either.
Whoosh!
The Snow Realm Envoy took only a few steps to traverse the void and arrive above the Windwing District.
At this moment, the cultivators of the Windwing District were almost all hiding in their residences, not daring to go out and wander around.
Willow Sun City was now a scene of utter chaos. The City Lord’s Mansion’s formations enveloped the entire city, and the Shadowheart Sect’s formations also had fluctuations that spread out like ripples again and again. This made the ordinary cultivators tremble in fear.
“I wonder when this fighting will end.”
“Regardless of who rules Willow Sun City, we will still have to obediently pay our residence fees. Let’s get through this first.”
The entire Windwing District did indeed have about ten billion cultivators, and they were all enduring it.
To leave the city now would mean a clash between the formations of the two major forces, and they might lose their lives from a single ripple! The residential area still had formations to protect them and could resist some of the aftereffects.
“Ten billion blood feast.” The Snow Realm Envoy was as white as snow, incomparably holy, and it looked down below. It stretched out its arm, and its palm rapidly became infinitely huge.
The snow-white palm covered the sky above the entire Windwing District and grabbed towards the Windwing District.
“Hmm?”
This huge movement naturally attracted the attention of all parties.
Whether it was General Moonwort, who controlled the great formation, Emperor Chu Yu of the Flamewind Guild, who could observe the entire city, or Luo Feng and Molosa, at the Chaos Master level. They all saw this scene at a glance.
“What is he doing?” Molosa asked in astonishment.
“Snow Realm Envoy?” Luo Feng looked at this scene.
The Snow Realm Ancestor had originally achieved God Kinghood using the ‘Blood Lineage’ among the life laws.
Blood was very magical.
It inherently contained infinite information, and possessing a powerful bloodline could lead to rapid progress in cultivation! Molosa could promote his own evolution by absorbing information from some powerful bloodlines.
The Snow Realm Ancestor had already thoroughly mastered the path of the ‘Blood Lineage’ and even began cultivating other branches of life laws.
In order to cultivate the Blood Lineage secret techniques, Snow Realm cultivators liked to capture ‘blood feasts’ the most; this was an important resource for their cultivation.
“He wants to capture all the creatures in the entire Windwing District? Is he capturing blood feasts again?” Luo Feng also comprehended the life laws and knew very well that collecting some blood could also cultivate the ‘Blood Lineage.’
Directly capturing and raising them long-term for blood extraction was purely for convenience.
Those blood feasts raised long-term for blood extraction were incomparably miserable, much more tragic than their own deaths.
“Running in front of me to capture blood feasts?” Luo Feng shook his head lightly and disappeared into thin air, causing Molosa to be stunned. Then, he felt an unbearable itching: “Master wants to strike, so he strikes. When will I be able to be so unrestrained and happy?”
“Rumble~~~”
The Snow Realm Envoy’s snow-white palm covered the sky above the Windwing District, causing ten billion creatures in the Windwing District to be terrified. The formations in the Windwing District’s residences were easily torn apart in front of this snow-white palm.
“No!”
“It’s over.”
“Why are you attacking us?”
“We are just True Gods.”
Ten billion creatures had no power to resist and looked at this scene in despair.
Suddenly–
Poof!
A palm came from the void and pierced into the chest of the snow-white ‘Snow Realm Envoy.’
