Chapter 723: The Firmament Star's Cultivators Arrive, the Heavenly Imperial Ghostblade Battles Bai Juexin
"Whatever. As long as he's still in the Extraterritorial Battlefield, I'll find him. When that time comes, he'll regret that he was ever born!"
Bai Juexin said with a cold gaze.
Being the son of the Blood Tribe's King, he had a very high status and was very respected in his tribe. Hence, it would be extremely easy for him to find someone in the Extraterritorial Battlefield.
"Although we've found so many treasures in the Secret Realm, the Realm Origin still has not been found. It looks like we'll never find them."
"Keep searching for a few more days. If we still can't find it, we have no choice but to leave. The forces from the Firmament Star will be arriving soon."
Bai Juexin uttered.
Boom!
At this time, the pink-colored Secret Realm started trembling.
A large crack suddenly appeared in the sky above the Blood Tribe forces.
One by one, countless warships came through that crack.
Bai Juexin smiled when he saw this. "What a coincidence. Speak of the devil, and he shall appear."
Those warships belonged to the cultivators of the Firmament Star.
The warships were marked with the numbers "Sixteen", "Seventeen", and "Eighteen" — a clear sign of the strongholds that they were deployed from.
In fact, those three strongholds were situated the closest to the Asteroid Belt Seven. It was natural that they would arrive before the others.
Among them, the leading Heavenly Imperial was the great commodore from Stronghold Seventeen, Heavenly Imperial Ghostblade!
This time, he had personally set out on this journey to the Secret Realm.
"Huh? Why are these Blood Tribe troops gathered at one spot? What's going on?" Heavenly Imperial Ghostblade uttered in surprise.
"Are they planning to leave?"
Standing beside the Heavenly Imperial Ghostblade, the Bearded Commander commented, "This is not a good sign. It seems like most of the treasures in this Secret Realm have been found. Why else would they be preparing to leave?"
"I'll start looking for Brother Chu."
Heavenly Imperial Ghostblade's Emperor Thoughts spread forth, covering the entire Secret Realm in an instant.
Alas, like Bai Juexin, he also could not find any signs of Chu Kuangren. There were two possibilities for this. It was either Chu Kuangren has left the Secret Realm, or he has... died!
As for the first possibility, he would never be able to leave the Secret Realm at his current cultivation level once he entered it.
This meant that only the second possibility was left. At this thought, Heavenly Imperial Ghostblade's expression was as grim as the dark clouds looming.
Next to him was Shang Honghua, who met Heavenly Imperial Ghostblade along the way and had since decided to follow him here. When she saw his expression, her heart jolted uncontrollably.
"Grandfather, what's the situation here?"
"There's no sign of Brother Chu."
Heavenly Imperial Ghostblade shook his head as he replied.
Shang Honghua instantly turned pale.
"If you can't find him, does that mean he has..."
"Not necessarily. With how remarkable and talented Brother Chu is, he doesn't seem like someone who'd fall that easily." Heavenly Imperial Ghostblade assured.
However, he did not have much hope either.
That was because the number of Blood Tribe forces before them was just too great.
Besides numbering in the millions with countless Heavenly Imperials among them, they even had Bai Juexin, a Boundary Daoist Celestial!
From what he could tell, there was no way a Low-rank Heavenly Imperial like Chu Kuangren could survive with that many Blood Tribe forces around.
Although he refused to admit it, Heavenly Imperial Ghostblade knew in all likelihood that Chu Kuangren had probably fallen.
"My savior! I have failed you!"
Heavenly Imperial Ghostblade sighed. Chu Kuangren was the one who came to him with his savior, the Seventh Tormentor's token.
Yet, he allowed Chu Kuangren to die in the hands of the Blood Tribe instead. This made the Heavenly Imperial Ghostblade feel very guilty.
"Brother Chu, I'll definitely avenge you."
The Heavenly Imperial Ghostblade thought as he looked at the Blood Tribe warships. Terrifying killing intent could be seen from his eyes.
"Prepare to face your death, Blood Tribe!"
Heavenly Imperial Ghostblade roared and stepped forth. A powerful aura erupted from his body as a gigantic black saber appeared behind him!
The Firmament Star's Heavenly Imperials also came out to his side. Everyone unleashed their miniverse one after another, instantly enveloping the whole area with their power.
When the forces of the Firmament Star and Blood Tribe met, there was only one word to describe it — kill!
The hatred between the two factions has lasted for countless years, ever since the start.
Seeing the Firmament Star Heavenly Imperials unleashing their miniverses, the Blood Tribe Heavenly Imperials could not sit still any longer and immediately rushed into the sky.
"Haha! Firmament Star cultivators, I'm afraid you're too late. We have already taken all of the treasures in this Secret Realm. The most you guys can get are the unwanted scraps that we left behind."
"That's right. What's the point of coming anyway? You're only here to die!"
"Hmph. We shall vent out all of our anger and frustration because of that b*stard earlier on you guys. Now, die!"
The Blood Tribe Heavenly Imperials each activated their miniverses in retaliation. When miniverses from both sides collided, the entire Secret Realm trembled violently.
As Heavenly Imperials from both sides clashed, a huge battle broke out.
Meanwhile, the Emperors from both sides also started to fight.
"Attac!!"
"Die, you Blood Tribe scum!"
"We'll never allow the Blood Tribe to take these precious resources from the Secret Realm back with them. Come, my fellow brothers and sisters. Let's kill them all!"
"I like to see you try."
"Long live the Blood Tribe!"
The cultivators from both sides below an Emperor's level clashed against their opponents like a raging tide.
For a while, both sides fought hard.
Severed limbs were flung about while gushes of blood were spilled.
Shang Honghua led her Redshirt Army and charged into the battle of troops that were below an Emperor's level. Hordes of Blood Tribe troops soon fell before their attacks one after one another.
With a thrust from her spear that contained terrifying spear energy, Shang Honghua brutally blasted a Blood Tribe Emperor who tried to sneak attack her into pulp.
Then, she looked at the skies, where a battle between Heavenly Imperials was ongoing.
She knew very well that the outcome of this battle depended on the Heavenly Imperials on both sides!
In particular, the leading Heavenly Imperials from both sides.
Up in the sky.
Heavenly Imperial Ghostblade's Emperor qi and Daoist pattern intertwined to form a black saber shadow behind him, covering him with a terrifying demeanor.
Although his miniverse only covered a small ten kilometers radius, no one dared to approach him.
"I can sense it. The Blood Source Power on you is very strong. It seems like your status in the Blood Tribe is quite high, considering you possess such a level of Blood Source Power."
The Blood Source Power was a power unique to the members of the Blood Tribe.
The stronger the Blood Source Power was, the more talented and skilled an individual would be, hence the higher the potential they possessed. Having been in the Extraterritorial Battlefield for so many years, the Heavenly Imperial Ghostblade has only encountered a handful of individuals with the level of Blood Source Power like Bai Juexin.
"I'm Bai Juexin, son of the Bai House's Blood King!"
Bai Juexin said as he flew up from his warship.
Although Heavenly Imperial Ghostblade was slightly surprised by Bai Juexin's identity as Blood Prince, the killing intent in his eyes grew stronger.
"I bet the death of a Blood Prince will be a great blow to the Blood Tribe. Am I right?"
"Killing a stronghold leader will also cause a great deal of trouble to the higher-ups of the Firmament Star, don't you think?" Bai Juexin retorted.
"Hmph, bring it on then!"
Heavenly Imperial Ghostblade snorted. The killing intent from him instantly soared, and the black saber shadow behind him slashed forth!
Upon seeing this, a great dark red sword appeared in Bai Juexin's hand before he unleashed a dark red sword ray that collided with the saber shadow!
The entire Secret Realm trembled from the impact of that collision!
Following that, Bai Juexin deployed his miniverse without a second thought.
The miniverses of the two most top-tiered Heavenly Imperials clashed, causing the surrounding void to distort and explode!
