From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star.

The Pillar of Earth Flame is the largest space in the Bloodline Clan's underground cavern, reaching a height of one kilometer.

Lu Heng leaped down from the top of the cave and swooped down towards the Blood Sacrifice Tower. His [Star Realm Sword Saint] class ability erupted, and he unleashed a Wind Dragon Slash straight down.

Roar!
The wind dragon roared, and the space of the four directions was distorted under the pressure of the astral power.

The sword's edge slashed towards the Blood Sacrifice Tower, triggering a deafening explosion that shattered the surrounding space.

Just as the sword light was about to pierce the Blood Sacrifice Tower, the bloodline wizard Cridol, inside the tower, straightened up, raised his bone staff, and shouted.

A powerful force surged from the Blood Sacrifice Tower, shaking the earth, as if a demon god was roaring from the depths of the earth.

A surge of blood-red light erupted from the tower, meeting the wind dragon sword's edge; the two energies collided violently.

The Blood Sacrifice Tower withstood the Wind Dragon's Severing Breath Slash thanks to the energy of the blood pool connected to the earth.

Followed by.

The bloodline wizard Cridol brandished his bone staff, releasing and awakening the bloodline progenitor statue.

A beam of death light shot out from the statue, instantly piercing through Lu Heng's body.

Lu Heng's body rapidly disintegrated in the death ray and vanished into the air.

Followed by.

The entire Pillar of Earth Flame awoke, and a vast sea of ​​blood demons surged in from all directions. Among them, thousands of high-ranking blood demons spread their crimson wings and charged forward, wielding steel forks.

In that instant, it was clear to everyone that they had fallen into an ambush set by the Bloodline Clan.

It is located on a cliff edge, two kilometers from the Blood Sacrifice Tower.

Lu Heng raised his hand to open the star gate and waved, saying, "It really is a trap. Let's get out of here first."

Su Muyu, Lin Zeyu, and Xie Shi'en immediately passed through the star gate and teleported away. As for why they fell into the Blood Descendant Demon's trap, they would have to consider that after they broke through the encirclement.

Lu Heng finally stepped through the star gate, traversing a distance of 50 kilometers, and appeared on the lava reefs of an underground lava river.

After the four left, the star gate immediately closed.

The Blood Demon's ambush failed; they searched the area around the Blood Sacrifice Tower for most of the day but found nothing.

……

Before the ambushing bloodline demons appeared, Lu Heng used his S-rank clone skill, Wind Dragon's Breath Slash, to attack, triggering the traps in the Blood Sacrifice Tower.

Before taking action, Lu Heng had a vague feeling that something was wrong, which is why he released his clone to test the waters.

Just as my intuition told me, the Blood Sacrifice Tower was indeed a trap.

"Luckily I ran fast, otherwise I would have been surrounded by the Blood Devil." Before passing through the star gate, Lin Zeyu saw a dense swarm of high-ranking Blood Devils flying towards him.

Without the Star Gate teleportation, it would have been difficult for the four of them to escape.

A desperate battle might kill a group of high-ranking blood descendants, but with only four people, it's impossible to fight the entire blood descendant demon race head-on.

After retreating to the lava river, Su Muyu, as usual, first conducted a reconnaissance of the surrounding area: "There are no dangerous targets within three kilometers, but it's a bit hot underfoot."

The four flew out of the lava river, found a secluded spot, and calmed down to think.

From the moment the investigation into the source of reincarnation began, everything started to go wrong.

The first seven high-ranking bloodlines on the list were all snatched up by others, and when they jumped to the last target, they fell into a trap.

It was as if an invisible hand was setting up a huge trap.

If we hadn't taken precautions before the raid on the Blood Sacrifice Tower, we would now be trapped in the Pillar of Earth Flame, with no way to escape.

Lu Heng narrowed his eyes, took out the heart container of the High Banshee, threw it on the ground, drew the Aurora Blade, and stabbed it in.

"what!"

Tiens' heart pounded, and she screamed in agony, "No!"

Lu Heng said in an icy voice, "I felt something was off when we last met. So that's why you wanted to take your heart back."

With her heart pierced, blood gushed out, and Tiens pleaded, "Master, I don't know what you're talking about. Why are you hurting me?"

Lu Heng's gaze grew even colder, and a murderous intent surged within him: "Since you're still being stubborn, then I have no reason to keep you alive."

As he spoke, he gripped the sword and continued to stab it in.

The fact that seven targets were killed in quick succession seemed to be the work of recruiters, but Lu Heng carefully reviewed the whole incident and was certain that no other recruiter team could have obtained this list, including George Gardner of the White Eagle Federation.

"Ah, no!"

The Aurora Blade pierced deeper and deeper, and Tiens's voice grew more and more shrill, but no matter how much she begged for mercy, Lu Heng did not stop what he was doing, and even released lightning energy.

The violent lightning poured into the banshee's heart, burning out a thick, acrid smell of blood.

"Ah! No, I'll tell you, I'll confess everything." Tiens couldn't bear the pain of her heart being ruptured and finally gave in.

Lu Heng drew his Aurora Blade and said coldly, "You only have three sentences to make me change my mind about killing you."

Tiens caught her breath for a moment, her voice trembling as she replied, "It is the progenitor of your human bloodline..."

Upon hearing this answer, Lu Heng's gaze sharpened, and he pressed further, "Who are you talking about?"

With an incredibly weak voice, Tiens replied, "Lawrence Phoenix, the progenitor of bloodlines hidden among you humans."

Lu Heng was somewhat surprised by the answer, but he also knew clearly that this possibility existed.

A month ago, the deceased Lawrence Phoenix was confirmed to be unrelated to other Phoenix family members through DNA testing.

This suggests that the supposedly dead Lawrence Phoenix was likely a fake.

Therefore, Lu Heng did not question the answer, but instead said, "The second sentence."

Tiens continued, "Lawrence Phoenix came to our territory from the human world with the help of Prince Moznis."

"I had been hiding it very well until one day, he found me and guessed that I was a spy's servant."

“I had no choice. If he told Prince Moznis my secret, I would surely die. So I could only accept the threat.”

"He took the demon blood I had preserved and offered it to Prince Moznis, thus becoming Moznis's confidant and gaining the power to command nearly half of the high-ranking bloodline race."

"He promised to keep my secret, and I had no choice but to submit to his coercion."

Having heard this, Lu Heng had figured out the whole story.

It must be said that Lawrence Phoenix is ​​indeed capable.

He faked his death to escape Earth and hid in the world of bloodline demons.

A human of bloodline fled to the world of bloodline demons for refuge, unable to bring the wealth from Earth with him, essentially ending up empty-handed in another world.

In this situation, it is already very difficult to gain a foothold in the Bloodline territory.

After all, all the wealth, power, and connections he had accumulated over his life were gone. Unexpectedly, Lawrence Phoenix had so quickly established himself among the Bloodline race and even become a confidant of the future Bloodline King.

This rapid rise is nothing short of legendary.

As for why Lawrence Phoenix discovered the secret of Tinese's spy servant, it's not hard to guess.

Lawrence Phoenix was exposed as the progenitor of the Bloodline race because of intelligence that there were spies and servants in the Bloodline territory.

This intelligence was intended to lure out Lawrence Phoenix, and to catch the real fish, they used real bait.

Therefore, this intelligence is indeed true.

Lawrence Phoenix must have realized that the intelligence was true and successfully identified Tienes as the spy's servant.

After discovering Tiens's secret, he did not tell Prince Moznis about it.

Because of this, he would only receive a small reward from Moznis, which would not allow him to gain greater power.

Therefore, he chose to threaten Tiens into doing things for him.

Tienes had no choice; if the secret of her giving her heart were exposed, she would face certain death. So she had no choice but to obey Lawrence Phoenix's threats.

After figuring out the key points, Lu Heng asked, "So the target on the attack list is Lawrence Phoenix, who is also looking for the Reincarnation Source Essence, right?"

Tiens: "Yes, he is also looking for the Source of Reincarnation, only half a day earlier than you."

Lu Heng narrowed his eyes slightly and pressed, "Did you find him?"

Tien: "I don't know, I'm not qualified to ask him."

Lu Heng pondered for a moment, then asked, "So, the blood of the Demon God is the material Moznis is used to advance to demigod, right?"

Tiens: "...Yes, that was originally mine."

Clearly, the Demon God's blood had been in Tiens's hands for quite some time, but she was unable to digest it and had simply kept it.

As a result, Lawrence Phoenix took it and gave it to Mozness.

This led to the emergence of this abyss battlefield.

If things proceed as Lawrence Phoenix planned, he will become the first among the kings once Moznis ascends the throne as the Bloodline King.

A man who escaped from the human world and came from a broken home climbed to such a high position in just a few months; his experience is nothing short of legendary.

After a moment of silence, a weak sound came from Tiens' heart again:
"I have another important message for you, but you must promise me that you will not hurt my heart again."

Lu Heng: "Speak!"

Tiens: "Moznis is wiping out human forces. There are very few humans left of the ones you recruited this time."

Lu Heng's gaze sharpened, and he had already guessed what was going on.

Among the Bloodline, there is Lawrence Phoenix, who understands humanity best, plus a traitor in the recruit team.

With their combined efforts from within and without, the Bloodline Demons were indeed capable of annihilating the human forces.

Lu Heng finally understood something: Lawrence Phoenix had assigned him ten targets to buy time and give him time to eliminate other recruit teams.

If we don't do something soon, we might all be wiped out in this Abyss Battle.

……

At this moment.

Su Muyu leaned close to Lu Heng's ear and whispered, "We just contacted other recruit teams, and they were indeed attacked and suffered heavy casualties. Preliminary estimates suggest that more than half of them have been killed or wounded."

Lu Heng frowned and thought for a moment before asking, "What about George Gardner's team?"

Su Muyu replied, "Currently, George Gardner and several other teams are evading pursuit and have not yet been wiped out."

Lu Heng quickly thought it over and instructed, "Find a way to notify the other two teams from Great Xia, and tell them to leave the other teams and stay away from the Blood Descendants Demons. First, save their lives, and then we'll talk about it after the Blood Descendants Demons' encirclement and suppression operation is over."

Su Muyu nodded in agreement and went to contact the other two Great Xia teams.

Followed by.

Lu Heng turned to look at Tiens' heart and said, "Your secret has been discovered by Lawrence Phoenix. There's no use keeping you around. Every piece of information you provide could be a trap."

Tiens: "Please don't kill me."

Lu Heng shook his head: "I have no use for you if I keep you alive, but killing you won't change the situation."

"Here's what I'll do. I'll give you one chance. Tell me where Lawrence Phoenix is, and I'll give your heart back."

Tiens fell silent for two seconds, then quickly asked, "Are you serious?"

Lu Heng promised, "I'll leave the heart here. You can come and get it yourself. As long as you tell me Lawrence Phoenix's location, you won't lose out on this deal."

“Complete this deal, and you can get your heart back, while I'll just kill Lawrence Phoenix. Then no one will know your secret.”

Tienes: "That's what you said, as long as I tell you where Lawrence Phoenix is."

Lu Heng asked, "First, confirm one thing: do you know Lawrence Phoenix's current location?"

Tiens: "I know, I know where he's hiding."

Lu Heng considered for a moment and said, "Very good, I will leave a teammate to watch over the heart. After I see Lawrence Phoenix, I will return the heart to you."

Tiens: "Deal. Lawrence Phoenix is ​​currently at the main altar of the Moznis ascension ceremony, guarding the altar for Moznis."

"Prince Moznis is leading the Bloodline Guard to hunt down the Conscripts, so he has assigned Lawrence Phoenix to guard the altar."

Lu Heng nodded and said, "Very good. Tell me the location of the altar. I'll go there now. After I meet Lawrence Phoenix, you can take the heart."

Tiens: "You need to be quick, Moznis could return at any time."

Lu Heng looked at Lin Zeyu and Xie Shi'en and asked, "Which of you will stay?"

Xie Shi'en raised his hand and said, "I'll stay. Let Lao Lin go with you; he can provide support from a distance, making it easier to coordinate."

"Alright, it's decided then. Old Xie stays behind. After I capture Lawrence Phoenix, you can hand over the heart as you see fit." Lu Heng arranged the action plan.

Xie Shi'en nodded in agreement: "Okay, I'll adapt to the situation."

With the plan finalized, Lu Heng led Su Muyu and Lin Zeyu to the demigod altar that Tiens had mentioned.

Xie Shi'en found a spot by the lava river, guarding Tiyins's heart, and waited quietly.

Half an hour later, a blood-red figure appeared on the lava river.

Immediately following were the second and third waves, a group of high-ranking blood descendants flying in with their blood wings spread, numbering as many as thirty.

At a glance, it's clear this team of high-ranking bloodlines possesses considerable combat power. (End of Chapter)
