"True Blood of Ten Thousand Beasts!!"
Without hesitation, stream after stream of essence blood appeared and was continuously poured into the Chaos Weapon Nourishing Pool. This essence blood came from all kinds of vicious beasts and ferocious birds slain on the battlefield. And it wasn't just a few drops—it was barrels upon barrels being dumped into the pool, mixing together with the golden dragon blood.
Immediately, the roars of dragons and the cries of myriad beasts erupted endlessly.One wave after another.
Inside the Chaos Weapon Nourishing Pool, runes flickered, various origin powers surged, and laws interwove.
Yin and Yang, and the Five Elements—metal, wood, water, fire, earth—constantly changed and fused into the beast blood, naturally refining it.
This pool was essentially a blood pool.
To refine Dao Weapons, one couldn't rely on thin air. The nourishing pool used various essence bloods as nourishment to temper the weapons. The blood within the pool wasn't gentle or ordinary—it carried immense power and energy. Anyone who entered would instantly explode into a mist of blood, unable to bear it.
Dao Weapons are raised, not forged.
And this blood pool was their nourishment.
But not only essence blood.
After gathering vast quantities of beast blood and dragon blood, countless spiritual fruits and herbs were thrown in—ranging from Yellow-grade, Profound-grade, to even Earth-grade and Heaven-grade treasures.
One could see that the Five Elemental Spiritual Fruits were added without exception.Some of them were even directly exchanged from the Divine-Demon Treasury.The value of these medicines was inestimable—exceedingly rare.
Moreover, a continuous stream of Heaven and Earth treasures were tossed into the pool.
Under the pool's operation, all these spiritual herbs merged into the blood pool, which emitted no trace of blood stench, but instead a unique, intoxicating fragrance.
The entire blood pool turned into a kaleidoscope of colors, with seven-colored mist swirling above it. Within the liquid, mysterious runes flickered, exuding a distinct spirituality.
This was no longer just blood—it was now Weapon Nourishing Liquid.
"Dao Weapons into the pool!!"
Once the nourishing liquid was fully refined, Yi Tianxing gave a loud mental command.
Instantly, one by one, Human warriors appeared within the Life Diagram, and were sent into the pool without delay.
Three days had passed, enough time to fully purify the first batch of Evernight humans within the Pagoda.
Now, as they entered the pool, each wore a fanatical expression.
"For the Lord, I am willing to become a Dao Weapon and die for the King!"
"Excellent! Becoming a Dao Weapon means I can kill enemies and earn merit for our Lord!"
One by one, they leapt into the pool.
Aaaah!!
The moment they entered, they all let out shrill screams. The Weapon Nourishing Liquid acted as if it came alive, turning into countless multi-colored runes that drilled into their bodies.
Each rune carried boundless power. Once inside, it felt like a thousand cuts. Under the skin, their flesh twisted like dragons, veins bulging—a horrifying sight.
They were undergoing Marrow Cleansing and Bone Recasting.
The liquid was thick and sticky, like mercury.
Their bloodline and physique were being fundamentally altered—a pain beyond words.
Worse still, the power within the runes burst forth, shattering bones and flesh, which were then healed and rebuilt by the pool—again and again, in an endless cycle.
Boom!!
Soon after, a warrior let out a terrible scream and exploded into a cloud of blood—no bones left, every piece of flesh and blood merging into the pool, becoming nourishment.
"To refine a true Dao Weapon is not easy. Those who can't endure will die. They become nutrients to strengthen the survivors. If you don't succeed, you perish. Only those who live become the strongest."
Yi Tianxing watched coldly, a thought flashing through his mind.
Because the refining process was so brutal, Human cultivators usually used beasts for this step.
Just as Yi Tianxing began refining Dao Weapons—
Suddenly, in the region of Sunset City, a terrifying rumble rang out without warning.
Boom—! Boom—!!
The entire Divine-Demon Battlefield shook violently. The ground quaked, and the countless bones and corpses scattered across the land were shattered into dust and bloody mist, vanishing into nothingness.
This shockwave erupted precisely in the area of Sunset City and spread outward rapidly.
A terrifying battle intent, like a tsunami, swept across the battlefield. That battle intent weighed heavily, crushing down on countless Evernight evil soldiers, making them tremble and collapse to their knees involuntarily.
"What is going on? Where's this tremor coming from? Has a peerless expert emerged?"
"The quake came from our region! What's happening?!"
Not just Sunset City—warriors in surrounding war cities also looked up in shock and confusion.
Whoosh—!
Suddenly, amid the rumbling, a towering figure appeared in the sky—a middle-aged man clad in black, with a physique over a thousand zhang tall, standing between heaven and earth like a god or demon.
Even a mere glance at this colossal war-god silhouette made one want to bow down in submission.It was just a back view, but it radiated an awe-inspiring pressure.
Across the battlefield, all who looked up saw it—and instinctively felt a desire to kneel.It was a suppression of life at the level of the soul.
"What is that..."
Even Yi Tianxing was jolted out of seclusion, rushing to the city wall.
Jia Xu, Yao Yue, and others were already present, eyes fixed on the sky.
"Your Majesty!"They greeted Yi Tianxing.
He waved them off.
"What terrifying power… that body is of a supreme body cultivator."
Looking closely, they saw the figure's hair flying wildly, head lifted skyward, and fists raised.
With a roar, he shouted:
"We cultivators, though we die, our souls remain. I am the Battle Emperor! Evernight fiends—do you dare face me in battle!!"
"Battle!!"
"BATTLE!!"
"BATTLE!!!"
The first 'Battle' caused waves of beasts and birds to collapse in fear.The second 'Battle' made many Evernight soldiers vomit blood and fall.The third 'Battle' made even elite Evernight cultivators pale with horror.
This battle intent could shatter mountains, split rivers, and tear the sky apart.
It was peerless.
"Battle Emperor—a powerhouse from the last era. A pity he's already dead. No matter how strong his will, he still fell to our Evernight elite. This is just a remnant will, yet it dares to be arrogant again? Hmph."— sneered a clown-like figure in a remote battlefield corner.
"The Battle Tribe was annihilated long ago. They were once heaven-defying—thriving on battle, never dying. But even they were destroyed. Even if a new one appears, they won't stop Evernight's conquest."— mocked a Skeleton Knight, coldly laughing.
The Battle Tribe—a mythic force from the last epoch. Born for war, their battle intent never faded. They thrived through battle, leveled up through slaughter, and frequently defeated stronger enemies.
Their Dao was Battle.They proved the Way through combat.
Some Evernight cultivators recalled ancient texts, recalling the Battle Ancestor—the tribe's founder. He was so fearsome he once invaded the Evernight World itself.
This place… was not only the Battle Emperor's grave, but his legacy site.
He was seeking a heir to his will.
Such flame-passing legacies existed across the Divine-Demon Battlefield.
"BATTLE!!"
The Battle Emperor turned, his face blurred, but his eyes blazed with boundless battle spirit.
That gaze swept across the entire battlefield, over every race and every genius warrior.He roared one final time.
Then—his figure vanished into the void.
In the instant he disappeared, a star appeared high above the battlefield, shifting constantly, faint and mysterious.
