Given the capabilities of the Blood Refinement Fiend Emperor and the nature of the Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra, it was only logical for him to control those Emperors.
Some of the Emperors here were once Patriarchs whose lifespans were almost up. If they could not break through, they could only die after expending their lifespans!
At that point of time, a Blood Refinement Fiend Sutra dangled before them. It was a cultivation technique that could increase their lifespans and allow them to break through their cultivation realms—who could resist such temptation?
Even someone as strong as Monk Daming chose to compromise and cultivate the fiend technique to break out of the ancient coffin after being trapped for 40,000 years.
However, Su Zimo still had many questions.
Given the Blood Refinement Fiend Emperor’s talent and methods, logically speaking, he should have reached the peak of Tianhuang Mainland a long time ago. Why did he have to wait so many years and launch catastrophes in secret?
What was the Blood Refinement Fiend Emperor’s motive?
Why did the Blood Refinement Fiend Emperor save him back then?
The Tao Wu Demon Emperor had nothing to do with Su Zimo, so why did the former help him back in the Thousand Year Blood Sea?
How many secrets did Monk Daming know?
What role did he play in this?
Countless questions circled around Su Zimo’s mind.
“You were the one who destroyed the Blood Vine race?”
Su Zimo asked.
“That’s right,”
The Blood Refinement Fiend Emperor nodded and did not hide anything.
“Why?”
Su Zimo asked again.
Half of the Blood Vine race’s bloodline flowed in the Blood Refinement Fiend Emperor’s body—how could he have done such a cruel thing to the Blood Vine race?
“That’s because they deserve to die!”
The Blood Refinement Fiend Emperor’s eyes were filled with endless hatred. As though he recalled something, he said slowly with a dark expression, “All the Blood Vines deserve to be killed!”
“You guys too!”
The Blood Refinement Fiend Emperor’s gaze shifted to the storyteller and the other Emperors as he said coldly, “Back then, all of you from the immortal, Buddhist and fiend sects hunted me down and none of you were willing to help me!”
“Today, I’m going to make you guys pay! I’m going to make all of you submit to me! I’m going to turn all of you into my blood slaves!”
“Tianhuang Mainland is under my control. I want to become the Eternal Fiend Emperor! I want to create a race that belongs to me! I want Tianhuang Mainland to become the turf of my Blood race!”
His words spread through the entire Tianhuang Mainland and contained an unparalleled will!
The ten thousand races were silent!
The Emperors were dumbfounded and felt a chilling intent.
Su Zimo was shocked as well!
Even he had not expected the Blood Refinement Fiend Emperor to have such ambitions!
Not only did he want to rule over Tianhuang Mainland, he even wanted to turn all living beings in Tianhuang Mainland into his slaves and listen to his orders!
The ten thousand races, human race, demon race and Primordial Nine Races of Tianhuang Mainland would all fall under a single title—the Blood race!
The methods of the three Emperors present, the Tao Wu Demon Emperor, Astral Immortal Emperor and Blood Refinement Fiend Emperor, were way too terrifying.
They could kill all the Emperors present with a single move!
The Emperors were at a loss.
Right now, there were only two options before the Emperors—they could either die or choose to become a blood slave of the Blood Refinement Fiend Emperor!
The storyteller took a deep breath and tried his best to compose himself. He looked at the Tao Wu Demon Emperor and Astral Immortal Emperor not far away and said.
“Blood Fiend, it’s fine if you want to dominate Tianhuang Mainland. However, even the two of them won’t agree if you want the ten thousand races of Tianhuang Mainland to become part of the Blood race, right?”
The Tao Wu Demon Emperor was a demon while the Astral Immortal Emperor was a human.
In the storyteller’s opinion, even if they had joined forces with the Blood Refinement Fiend Emperor, it was unlikely that they would allow him to take over the demon and human races as well!
If he could sow discord between the three of them, there might be a chance of survival!
“They’ll definitely agree,”
The Blood Refinement Fiend Emperor laughed sinisterly.
“That’s because… they’re just clones that I condensed!”
The moment he said that, the faces of the Blood Refinement Fiend Emperor, Tao Wu Demon Emperor and Astral Immortal Emperor changed into terrifying blood faces!
Three blood faces opened their mouths and laughed wildly!
“Hahahaha!”
The laughter was ear-piercing and shuddering.
The Emperors felt deep despair when they looked at the three identical blood faces!
Some Emperors looked at Su Zimo instinctively.
Everyone knew that the current Martial Emperor had condensed two true bodies, a Taboo Dragon Phoenix and a Creation Green Lotus. They were independent and invincible.
However, they did not expect the Blood Refinement Fiend Emperor before them to be even more terrifying!
Apart from his Prime Body, the Blood Refinement Fiend Emperor had also condensed two independent clones that had grown to such a terrifying extent!
Even without the other Emperors, his Tao Wu Demon Emperor and Astral Immortal Emperor clones were enough to rule over Tianhuang Mainland!
Almost all the cloning techniques in the cultivation world did not have Essence Spirits and could not be cultivated alone.
It was also a freak coincidence that Su Zimo’s two true bodies could be formed.
His cultivation path was almost impossible to replicate.
However, the Blood Refinement Fiend Emperor’s clone technique was definitely a top-tier cultivation technique!
Night Spirit had once told Su Zimo that there were similar cloning techniques in the upper world.
In fact, Su Zimo suspected that the Blood Refinement Fiend Emperor’s clone technique came from the upper world!
“More than a thousand years ago, my fiend technique could have been cultivated to the perfected stage,”
The Blood Refinement Fiend Emperor shifted his gaze towards Su Zimo and said hatefully, “Unfortunately, something happened more than a thousand years ago! Otherwise, I would have appeared a long time ago and Tianhuang Mainland would have been under my control!”
“More than a thousand years ago?”
The Emperors looked at Su Zimo instinctively.
Under normal circumstances, Desolate Martial’s cultivation realm shouldn’t have been high a thousand years ago—how could he have had any interactions with the Blood Refinement Fiend Emperor?
“More than a thousand years ago…”
Long Ran frowned slightly in deep thought.
“I got it!”
Su Zimo’s heart skipped a beat and his eyes shone brightly as he said slowly, “Your clone technique did not only condense two clones, there were three!”
“Ah!”
The Emperors were alarmed!
Two clones were already so terrifying, let alone three!
“Carry on,”
The Blood Refinement Fiend Emperor smiled gently and nodded to Su Zimo, indicating for him to continue.
Su Zimo said, “30,000 years ago, you caused the Thousand Demon Tribulation, causing blood to flow like rivers and corpses to be strewn everywhere. Your final goal was to condense this clone of the Tao Wu Demon Emperor!”
“It’s the same for the Astral Tribulation 20,000 years ago. You did it to condense this clone of the Astral Immortal Emperor!”
“The Great Qian Tribulation 10,000 years ago was for the third clone you wanted to cultivate! This third clone is buried at the bottom of the Dragon Burial Valley!”
Long Ran shuddered and finally understood.
A look of admiration flashed through the Blood Refinement Fiend Emperor’s eyes as he nodded. “Very good. Continue.”
Su Zimo sneered, “Unfortunately, when your third clone was about to be created successfully, someone went to the bottom of the Dragon Burial Valley more than a thousand years ago!”
“This person wanted to head to the bottom of the Dragon Burial Valley to retrieve a supreme treasure of the Buddhist monasteries. However, she discovered the existence of your clone and destroyed it in passing!”
Everyone was confused and could not understand who Su Zimo was referring to. To think that someone could destroy the Blood Refinement Fiend Emperor’s clone and severely injure him.
At that point, the Blood Refinement Fiend Emperor seemed to have recalled something and his expression changed indeterminately.
A look of fear flashed through his eyes before turning into deep hatred. He followed Su Zimo’s words and said coldly, “That’s right! She was none other than your Miss Die!”
