Chapter 917: The War Of The Blood Pool Sky River

The Crimson Blood Sky River hit the top of Yue Yang’s head with the power of nine waterfalls.

In an instant, he plummeted hundreds of metres under the frozen ground, forming a huge impact and smashing a large hole amidst the ground itself.

The Crimson Blood, like fire, boiled in the hole that it created. Sizzling, the hard and once frozen soil continuously melted into magma under its burning heat, melting into a terrifying hot pool of blood. The Blizzard Goddess looked at her arm, where only a drop of Crimson Blood was splashed onto it. However, even an arm as cold as hers started to burst into flames as a hole was singed through the small spot stained with the Crimson Blood.

This was the power of the Crimson Blood, and yet, Yue Yang was bearing the brute force of the power in the pool of blood.

Xiao Wen Li, who had never left Yue Yang’s side, stared at the blood pool solemnly at this time.

Normally, she would have already jumped in to rescue Yue Yang.

Now, she wasn’t moving at all!

Even when the Blizzard Goddess approached and wanted to check on Yue Yang in the blood pond, she gently shook her head and waved her hand, indicating that the Blizzard Goddess should not come forward. She kept levitating above the blood pond despite the surface area of the pond expanding with every second and ignoring the fact that the magnitude of the boiling magma was increasing quickly as well.

“?” The Blizzard Goddess could not understand, but she knew one thing— when Yue Yang was not with her, she had better listen to this little snake demon Lolita!

On the other side, there was also a rather unusual behaviour that came from Red Sky River who was counterattacked by Yue Yang moments before.

Red Sky River’s hands suddenly fell from midair.

There was an unbelievable look of astonishment plastered on his face, as if he couldn’t believe that he, who possessed a Divine body, would actually accept damage from the enemy’s attack. Red Sky River made an instinctive movement— leaning forward and stretching out his bloody arms. He was trying to grasp the pair of severed hands as he completely forgot about the fact that his hands were already slashed off by the Exterminating Wheel. And it was this action that exacerbated some of his hidden injuries.

The only leg that remained on his body cracked silently.

It was a hundred times sharper than cutting something with the sharpest sword in the world, his sole leg was broken between the knees as it was even too late for the wound to bleed.

The once half-leaning Red Sky River flopped to the ground with an even more surprised look. It was not until this time that he realised that his only remaining leg had also been cut off by the Exterminating Wheel.

Those severed hands and the lump of ‘Divine Blood’ that clumped together in the middle, fell into the boiling pool of Crimson Blood.

White smoke came billowing out.

At the moment when the Divine blood merged into the Crimson Blood pool, Yue Yang, who was stark naked but covered in dense runes, emerged as he grabbed the two severed hands with one hand and the ball of Divine blood with the other. His body was steaming hot, and the Crimson Blood erratically eroded his skin that were not covered with the marks of the runes, but even they were constantly being swallowed by World and the other unknown forces in his body.

“Impossible! You can’t hurt my Divine body!” Red Sky River rolled on the ground after breaking his leg. Like Mjölnir that descended from the skies, he charged towards Yue Yang.

“Aish!” Yue Yang put away Red Sky River’s severed hands, and with a shake of his left hand, there was an extra speed artifact ring that formed on it.

At the moment he avoided the attack, Yue Yang smeared the Divine Blood onto the Divine Seal of the Prison Emperor.

The small metal beast that turned into a Tong Tian War Blade immediately changed back to the original body regardless of the ongoing fight. Before the Prison Emperor’s Divine Seal absorbed the blood, the little tongue of the metal beast desperately licked the blood on it. At least a small part of the blood was swallowed into the beast’s stomach. Yue Yang was so angry that he threw this little greedy critter directly into the Crimson Blood pond before he took Red Sky River’s leg to attack with all his mind and will. Following the power of the Divine Blood, the broken leg hit the Prison Emperor’s Divine Seal. If he couldn’t subdue the Prison Emperor’s Divine Seal and obtain its approval at this time, then the treasure would be ruined no matter how great it was. That was because next time, whether it was killing Red Sky River or being able to kill a snake-haired demon boy, or passing the trials in the Beast Valley— that was the time when the treasures were most needed to show off while having to wait till Yue Yang achieved the level of the Divine Supreme. The Divine tool at that time would just be icing on the cake as it was entirely optional because there would be no such urgency.

Its brilliance was like an arrow.

Hundreds of millions of brilliant light rays shot out from the Prison Emperor’s Divine Seal as Yue Yang’s body was nearly transparent from the luminance.

Except for those rune patterns, Yue Yang’s skin seemed to be penetrated by the light.

The battle with the Prison Emperor’s Divine Seal had reached the final juncture.

Although a powerful enemy was right in front of him, in order to succeed, Yue Yang had to take a risk.

Red Sky River’s face was distorted at this time. His body bounced back into the air and the Blizzard Goddess General and Xiao Wen Li, who were furiously flying around to stop him. Regardless, he whirled around in the sky and pounded on Yue Yang’s head heavily.

Normally, Yue Yang would definitely not suffer from this kind of loss.

But his mind was completely integrated into the Prison Emperor’s Divine Seal, so he couldn’t get out at the critical moment of the battle between God and man.

Yue Yang’s body was forcibly hammered into the depths of the ground by Red Sky River.. However, Red Sky River had no intention to forgive at this time as another attack shook Yue Yang from the ground. Although his combat power was reduced with both hands and limbs severed, and despite the fact that he was even greatly damaged because of the Forbidden Technique Divine Blood Sacrifice, all of his injuries were ignored. He knew that if this kid didn’t die today, then tomorrow would be his own time of death. After he succeeded in contracting the Divine Seal and possessing the ability to fully exert the power of the Divine tool, Red Sky River couldn’t be Yue Yang’s opponent after suffering such heavy injuries!

“You want to have a contract with the artifact? Keep on dreaming!” Red Sky River twisted his elbows[1] in the air and heavily landed them on the back of Yue Yang’s neck, who was still holding the Prison Emperor’s Divine Seal. Unable to resist or block the blow, Yue Yang was hit directly, spurting a mouthful of blood onto the seal after taking the impact.

[T/L Note: I initially thought that his entire arm was taken, but I guess his elbows and above remained intact]

“Die!” A Divine sword pierced through the space as if it was surpassing time, slamming on Red Sky River’s head in an instant.

It was Princess Qian Qian who hurried back.

Red Sky River was furious. Although he was wounded by the Divine sword, the blow was not heavy enough to stop his actions.

At the same moment Princess Qian Qian flew forward and held the Prison Emperor’s Divine Sword, he landed a harsh attack with the severed arm of his right hand, smashing it heavily on her. Princess Qian Qian’s sword was hit instead as she raised it in an act of parry. Red Sky River’s hands were shaking as blood flowed from both ends— even in a state of anger and desperately attacking, he was unstoppable even if his strength was repeatedly weakened!

He swiftly turned, swiping his elbow on Princess Qian Qian’s arm.

There was a muffled sound of a crack in her arm as it nearly broke.

If it were not for the guardian of the Divine Sword, Princess Qian Qian would not have been able to resist Red Sky River’s full blow.

A bloody light flashed behind Red Sky River, indicating that Xiao Wen Li’s attack was successful. Red Sky River had no time to turn around to fight back or evade as Xiao Wen Li swept him away with her tail and blasted him a hundred meters away. He was thrown far from where Yue Yang and Princess Qian Qian were.

The Blizzard Goddess jumped up high, and at the moment the Red Sky River fell to the ground, her fingers curled into fists as she hammered him.

Red Sky River was smashed deeply into the frozen ground.

Half of his body was plunged into the mud, leaving only a pair of stumped legs exposed.

The Blizzard Goddess would soon become a Cyclone Goddess. Grabbing those broken legs, she pulled Red Sky River out and smashed him onto the ground repetitively. After dozens of smashes, the whole earth was full of pits and mottled cracks.

Blood was spilled on the ground.

However, Red Sky River did not die.

At the moment when the Blizzard Goddess jumped high and threw him, he headbutted her hard. As the Blizzard Goddess stagnated, Red Sky River escaped in an instant. Under Xiao Wen Li’s slash, he penetrated himself into the ground, emerged far ahead and slammed into Yue Yang, who was still using his spirit to fight with the Prison Emperor’s Divine Seal.

Princess Qian Qian guarded Yue Yang as she stayed by his side and slashed Red Sky River down with a single sword, but this couldn’t stop his advancement.

In the burst of blood, Red Sky River crashed into Yue Yang.

He was even able to swipe at the Prison Emperor’s Divine Seal with both of his stumped arms as he prepared to cause a disruption, making Yue Yang, who was so disturbed, vomit blood and fall to the ground. “Don’t think about it!” Princess Qian Qian didn’t even have time to retract the sword as she hugged Yue Yang directly, wanting to push him aside. She embraced Yue Yang and that caused Red Sky River to hit her shoulder, crushing her internal organs. Her entire being flew back like a broken kite and a mouthful of red blood spurted out of her mouth, half of it sprinkled on the Prison Emperor’s Divine Seal. With her splash of blood, the Prison Emperor’s Divine Seal that had the upper hand suddenly dimmed. Then, insane bursts of golden light shone from it. Not only Yue Yang and Princess Qian Qian, but even Xiao Wen Li, the Blizzard Goddess, and even the entire sky and the earth were dyed into a shimmering shade of gold by the light!

“I’m going to fight you to the death!” Red Sky River despairingly sensed the enemy’s changes. Instead of hitting the enemy hard, he didn’t know why he actually helped them successfully contract the Divine Seal.

There was no other way except to desperately fight.

Red Sky River gritted his teeth and rammed into Yue Yang again.

This collision completely exhausted her strength and the Blizzard Goddess was unable to catch them. Xiao Wen Li directly let the air current carry them as Princess Qian Qian held onto Yue Yang. She couldn’t escape the attack, so she had to grit her teeth, turn Yue Yang in her arms, and forcibly resist the enemy’s blow with her back, hoping that this would be useful. Princess Qian Qian has no time to think too much. She only hoped that she could use herself to save the life of her lover as nothing else mattered.

Boom!

The earth-shaking sound reverberated across the whole world.

The iceberg in the distance collapsed as if the heavens and the earth seemed to hang upside down, resembling a scene of the end of the world.

The shockwave tore through the space, sweeping all kinds of Chaotic Energy. The red blood in the blood pool and all kinds of wandering energy blasted into an extremely strange, blood-red energy vortex!

The only thing that could stand on the frozen ground is Princess Qian Qian’s Prison Emperor’s Divine Sword.

Only the artifact could help maintain her stride.

She didn’t know how long had passed before Princess Qian Qian opened her eyes slowly in panic. Then, she was surprised to find that she was not dead and not even harmed. Except for her arms and shoulders, there was no feeling of bruising on her back at all. I’m fine, what’s going on? Her consciousness was certain and from there, she realised that Yue Yang, who was in her arms, had probed in the void as he held her shoulders with one hand and grasped the Prison Emperor’s Divine Seal with the other. Under the Divine Seal of the Prison Emperor, it was Red Sky River whose skull was completely sunken.

It turned out that Red Sky River’s full-scale attack finally went through to Yue Yang, who in turn, willed the Divine Seal to stop the attack.

As soon as she understood, Princess Qian Qian collapsed to the ground.

She couldn’t stand any longer.

The facial features of Red Sky River overflowed with blood. His face was in a very horrible shape while drops of blood converged into a stream of red, dripping on the ground.

“Ah!”

Suddenly, the broken arm swung frantically, sending Yue Yang flying backward. At this time, Red Sky River no longer had the desire to fight on as his one and only intention was to escape. He had already understood that with the extent of Yue Yang’s attack, even if he didn’t have the Divine Seal, the Blizzard Goddess and the little snake demon Lolita, he wouldn’t be able to go up against Yue Yang either.

Now I must risk everything to escape— if I can’t run from here, I will die!

When Red Sky River turned to escape, a flash of light illuminated from the top of the sky.

The Exterminating Wheel that was shot out by Yue Yang came back. The rotation was unchanged from its original form as it spun in a whirl to destroy everything. Red Sky River escaped a hundred meters away before his body was cracked in half, making him fall onto the frozen ground.

Even so, the two halves of Red Sky River still wanted to struggle and crawl.

He still wanted to recombine the two halves to escape.

However, it was impossible to restore the situation.

Holding the Prison Emperor’s Divine Seal with one hand and forming the White Splendid Frost in his other hand, Yue Yang had already flown down with the demeanour of a king who ruled over the world.

This battle had been a hard struggle.

Red Sky River— die!
