I simultaneously traverse countless worlds

In any case, Ibrisbel Yagiz felt a sense of despair rising in his heart. He was not an overly pessimistic vampire noble, but the scene before him told him that Li Mo had subdued the Third True Ancestor in one move, preventing him from escaping. Therefore, if he were to deal with him and Demitoriye Vatora, he would not have to expend a second move either. This was very difficult for him to accept, but he could not deny it.

At the same time, both Ibrisbel Yagiz and Demitoriye Vatola recalled Li Mo's arrogant words. At the time, they thought he was very arrogant, but now it seemed like a declaration. After all, even the Third True Ancestor was defeated in one fell swoop. In his eyes, they were probably not even as good as ordinary superhumans.

However, just as the two vampire nobles and Xian Gu Yong were in shock, the heavily sealed-off Jada Kukokan inside the frozen iceberg suddenly burst into flames!

Zi La La ~!

Like a crimson suit of armor, layers of flames enveloped Jada Kukokan's entire body, and the sound of melting icebergs could be heard.

However, although the glacier seemed to have melted, both Xian Guyong and the other two vampire nobles knew that the Third True Ancestor was at a complete disadvantage. It was just that the opponent did not choose to press his advantage and instead allowed the Third True Ancestor to be frozen in one move and then try his best to melt the glacier to escape.

Otherwise, Gadda Kukokan would have been frozen for at least thirty seconds. In a battle between True Ancestors, that would have been enough for one side to kill the other more than ten times over. And for two vampire nobles like them, their ashes would probably be cold by now!

"It was me! I brought all the original bodies to the port!"

Just as the scene was somewhat quiet, with only the Third Progenitor struggling to use his Flame Familiar to fuse with the Glacier and escape, Ibrisbel Aggiz took out a special communication terminal from his pocket and issued a direct order.

"Ala?"

Beside him, Gedimitoriye Vatola couldn't help but glance at Ibrisbel Yagiz, a slight smile on her face, and said, "Could it be that His Highness the Ninth Prince has simply admitted defeat?"

"My goal has always been singular: to kill that filthy arms dealer who offended the [Extinction Dynasty]. There is no other goal!"

Ibrisbel Yagiz responded confidently to Dimitrio Vatola's words, as if he truly intended to kill the arms dealer.

Who are you kidding?!

Upon seeing Ibrisbel Yagiz's face, Dimitrio Vatola really wanted to complain. He knew that the arms dealer named Zaharias still had several Fourth Ancestor bodies in his possession. It would be strange if Ibrisbel Yagiz, who had lost his Fourth Ancestor body, could still kill him.

This Ninth Prince, ninety-nine percent of the time, wanted to offer up the Fourth True Ancestor's body to escape, yet he could say it so confidently. What Dimitriye Vatola had to admit was that even if the other party had shamelessly made such a move, it was, in the current situation, a very wise move. It was far better than facing that monster. If the two of them had faced the monster, they would have been courting death.

It should be said that the Third True Ancestor, Jada Kukokan, did have some strength. While Demitoriye Vatola and Ibrisbel Yagiz were talking, she successfully broke through the melting iceberg and escaped!

"Cough cough —————— cough!!!"

Jada Kukokan managed to escape, but she stood up unsteadily, coughing up large amounts of blood, which turned into blood-red ice as soon as it came out.

Upon witnessing the tragic state of the Third Progenitor, Demitoris Vatola and Ibrisbel Yagiz both hesitated to approach. They were not cold-blooded but rather very rational. If the two vampire nobles were to step forward now, it would only provoke the hostility or even attack of Gada Kukokan.

The reason is simple: vampires can devour each other, growing stronger by absorbing the power of other vampires. Even if they weren't direct descendants of the Third True Ancestor, there was still a considerable possibility that they could devour her while she was weakened. It was precisely because of this possibility that they couldn't go up, otherwise they might provoke a counterattack from the Third True Ancestor, or even be killed outright.

Especially for the two vampire nobles, the reasons why they were unwilling to step forward were twofold: firstly, they were afraid that they would lose their temper and make a move; secondly, they were worried about the counterattack of Jada Kukokan, and there was also that powerful figure watching from mid-air!

"Huh? Are you alright?"

Finally, Xian Gu Yong tried to pull Jia Da Ku Ko Kan back, but ended up dodging the Third True Ancestor who was trying to bite his arm, and shouted warily.

"Oh? Sorry, I'm a little anemic!"

Seeing Xiangu Yong moving away from her, the weak but irritable Jiada Kukokan apologized. Realizing that she was losing control of her blood-sucking urge, she simply raised her hand, bit her own arm, and began to suck on it.

In just a few seconds, the Third Progenitor's aura calmed down after absorbing his own blood. However, for Gadda Kukokan himself, this method of calming his bloodlust was only a temporary solution. It merely restored his sanity, but if he were to be injured again, the consequences would be even more severe. Moreover, being forced to absorb his own blood was a disgrace to the vampire race.

As for the bystanders, the two vampire nobles felt a pang of sympathy and suddenly wondered if they should turn away and disappear. Otherwise, seeing the Third True Ancestor in such a sorry state, they felt that they might be silenced in the future!

"The Princess of Chaos escaped more than ten seconds earlier than I predicted. Well done!"

Upon hearing Li Mo's voice, the two vampire nobles and Xian Gu Yong all looked over, only to find that he had somehow reappeared beside Jiada Kukokan, and was looking at the somewhat weakened Third Progenitor with a smile that resembled that of a monster ready to devour: "To be honest, your strength is not bad. If you were to summon all your familiars, you might be able to make me take this seriously..."

When Li Mo said these words, his tone was exactly the same as his previous arrogant remarks. However, at this moment, neither Xian Gu Yong nor the two vampire nobles thought that his words were arrogant; they were simply the truth.

After hearing Li Mo's words, Jia Da Kukokan managed a weak smile, then raised one hand and decisively said:

"...I surrender! No need to fight anymore!"

Chapter 26 Giving Up and Leaving

"...I surrender! No need to fight anymore!"

Faced with Li Mo's exclamation, Jiada Kukokan raised one hand without hesitation, directly announcing his surrender, rather than continuing to seek further torment.

joke!

Summon all the True Ancestor Familiars, forcing you to finally take this seriously?

Your attack just now almost killed me completely. If it weren't for my immortality as a true ancestor of the vampire clan and my decent strength, I would probably have become an eternal ice sculpture.

Even if he summoned all of his True Ancestor Familiars, Gadda Kukokan had no doubt that his opponent could still easily kill him a hundred times over. With just that one move, [Freezing Light], there wouldn't be many True Ancestor Familiars that could withstand it, and it was even possible that they would be completely frozen and lost. Defeating his opponent was simply a pipe dream.

Jada Kukokan craves battle, but she's not a martial arts fanatic who knowingly seeks defeat. When she realized Li Mo was invincible, she chose to stop and admit defeat rather than stubbornly continuing the fight.

"That's such a pity!"

Seeing Gadda Kukokan's decisive choice, Li Mo felt a slight pang of regret. He then turned to look at the two vampire nobles, Demitoriye Vatora and Ibrisbel Yagiz, and saw that they had also made the decision to surrender. He sighed and said, "It seems that witnessing the combat power of a True Ancestor-level familiar is truly not an easy task. Fortunately, the [Feast of Flames] is about to come to a perfect end..."

Upon hearing Li Mo's words, even Xian Gu Yong, who was watching from the sidelines, felt like rolling his eyes. The Third True Ancestor and the two vampire nobles were even more so; if they weren't truly no match for Li Mo and the gap in skill was too great, they would have wanted to join forces and gang up on him.

After all, Li Mo's tone was incredibly irritating, practically taunting everyone. If someone weaker had dared to do that, they would likely have been turned into a dried-up corpse by the Third True Ancestor, or killed by two vampire nobles. However, given his feat of KO'ing the Third True Ancestor, Jada Kukokan, in one move, the vampires and superhumans present had to admit that Li Mo had the right to say such things.

Even though the vampires who established the three great Night Empires are very arrogant, they are not fools or madmen. Those idiots who truly believe that the vampires are invincible will basically meet their match and be defeated. After all, the three great Night Empires of the world are very strong, but that doesn't mean there are no forces that can rival the vampires. For example, top-level superhumans who can briefly compete with the three great vampire progenitors exist in several major powers. Otherwise, the vampires would not have established the three great Night Empires instead of directly ruling the entire world when faced with opponents who have no power to resist.

Knowing that humanity also possesses top-tier experts, and that the legacy of the former [Heavenly Department] might allow them to join forces to severely injure the True Ancestor, and considering that humanity constitutes the majority of the global population, none of the three Night Empires' vampire nobles are foolish enough to believe they can rule the entire world. As for this [Feast of Flames], the Third True Ancestor simply wanted to watch the spectacle, while the two vampire nobles participated with their own ulterior motives.

At this moment, even Demitrij Vatola, who was most warlike and eager to defeat one strong person after another, wisely did not intend to confront Li Mo. That would not be a challenge or a battle, but rather a suicide attempt due to despair!

"Lord Li Mo, I have already had my subordinates bring over the Fourth True Ancestor's physical body that I possess, and it will be handed over to you soon!"

Even though he was inwardly complaining, Ibrisbel Yagis remained outwardly calm. As soon as Li Mo finished speaking, he made his stance clear without hesitation: to decisively admit defeat and hand over the body. His target was the arms dealer, and there was no need to confront Li Mo, who was terrifyingly strong. He made what he believed to be the best choice.

Seeing Ibrisbell Aggiz's actions, Demitoris Vatola couldn't help but complain inwardly, but his reaction speed was equally fast. He directly stated that he chose to concede, and the three Fourth Progenitor bodies he once possessed were directly released to act on their own on Itogami Island!

"As we just agreed, now that we've been defeated, the Fourth True Ancestor's physical body in my possession will be delivered to the port as quickly as possible and handed over to you directly..."

In contrast, the Third Progenitor, Jada Kukokan, chose to accept her defeat. After stabilizing her injuries and feeling the freezing power within her body gradually dissipate, she had no intention of continuing the fight. She simply prepared to offer up the body of the Fourth Progenitor as the wager, as agreed upon earlier.

Indeed, Gadda Kukokan didn't think that even with the addition of several Fourth Ancestor bodies, he could pull off any new tricks against Li Mo. The attack that Li Mo had just unleashed, controlling the [Azure Ice Demoness] familiar, was already far beyond the power of a Blood Clan Ancestor. It could be said that opponents below the level of Blood Clan Ancestor would basically be defeated in one move, unless they had special familiars that could escape the attack in advance. Even Blood Clan Ancestors could easily be caught off guard and then forcibly controlled and killed.

Even though he was one of the three great vampire progenitors and knew that his own immortality was far superior to that of the vampire nobles who had barely reached the level of progenitors, Gadda Kukokan understood even better that when facing enemies far stronger than himself, the immortality of a vampire progenitor was not something to rely on. Vampires who thought they could act recklessly just because they were immortal were basically already long gone.

Compared to the Fourth Progenitor who was to be resurrected by the [Feast of Flames], Gada Kukokan didn't care at all. She was looking at Li Mo with her beautiful eyes sparkling, and other thoughts were rising in her mind but she didn't say them out loud. The others didn't pay much attention to it!

"OK, then you're out of the game for this 'Feast of Flames.' I'll take care of that arms dealer as well!"

Seeing the three participants of the [Feast of Flames] admit defeat, Li Mo naturally did not refuse but nodded in agreement. He also said to Ibrisbel Yagiz that he would deal with the arms dealer that the other party considered a target.

You tell me the reason?

Is the reason that the arms dealer was the last participant in the "Feast of Flames" sufficient?

Especially for Li Mo, he was at least aware of the prequel plot of the "Strike the Blood" anime and remembered that this arms dealer was planning to cause trouble at this "Feast of Flames". So naturally, he had to deal with this remaining unstable factor.

In any case, Li Mo already considers Itogami Island his territory. The Flame Banquet is a way to openly declare his sovereignty. If anyone tries to cause trouble, he will punish them without hesitation, especially cunning people like arms dealers. He wants to send them to their deaths as soon as possible, complete the Flame Banquet ceremony, and have a suitable excuse to occupy Itogami Island. That is his goal.

Jada Kukokan and Dimitrio Vatola had no objection to Li Mo's words, and Ibrisbel Yagiz also nodded in agreement. He didn't believe that the arms dealer could match a monster like Li Mo!

"Then I'll leave it to you, sir!"

Upon seeing Li Mo speak, having already considered the arms dealer as a dead man, Ibrisbel Yagiz nodded in agreement. In any case, he only wanted the arms dealer's life; whether he killed him or not was irrelevant.

Perhaps for ordinary vampire nobles, personally killing this audacious individual who had disgraced the Extinction Dynasty would bring great benefits. But for Ibrisbel Yagiz, a direct descendant of the Second True Ancestor, it was utterly insignificant. No merit could possibly surpass his own noble status; he was a true member of the absolute upper echelons of the Extinction Dynasty, a true direct descendant of the True Ancestor, the Ninth Prince of the Extinction Dynasty.

Therefore, after witnessing the Third True Ancestor's instant defeat, Ibrisbel Yagiz decisively decided to concede at the [Feast of Flames]. He figured it wouldn't matter if he conceded; he wouldn't face any punishment upon returning to the [Extinction Dynasty]. Even if the Second True Ancestor knew the situation, he wouldn't blame his ninth son. After all, he had sent Ibrisbel Yagiz to kill that audacious arms dealer, not to recklessly challenge a top-tier True Ancestor-level expert—that would have been utterly suicidal.

Ibrisbel Yagiz's thinking was simple: by choosing to concede and handing over the Fourth True Ancestor's body, he had effectively lost his eligibility to participate in the [Feast of Flames]. Even with three Fourth True Ancestor bodies still at his disposal, he might not be able to kill his opponent. However, with a top expert like Li Mo taking action, Ibrisbel Yagiz naturally had nothing to worry about.

Compared to Ibrisbell Yagiz's relaxed attitude, Gada Kukokan and Demitoriye Vatora also made their own choices. However, one decided to go back and try to strengthen himself before considering challenging the vampire progenitor or even Li Mo's grand goal, while the other had other different ideas in mind.

In particular, the Third True Ancestor, Jada Kukokan, contacted her subordinates to quickly send over several remains of the Fourth True Ancestor before bidding farewell. Before leaving, she said something meaningful to Li Mo:

"Mr. Li Mo, perhaps we will have the opportunity to meet again in the future!"

Chapter 27 Nangong Nayue's Lament

The Third Ancestor left behind a meaningful remark, then summoned a flying familiar and departed. Demitoriye Vatora and Ibrisbel Agiz also took their leave one after the other, without intending to say anything more to Li Mo.

To put it simply, the Third True Ancestor, being a defeated opponent, had no intention of staying, so it was even less likely that the two vampire nobles would stay. Moreover, given that they were looking at Li Mo, who could easily crush them, it would be impossible for them not to feel some apprehension and fear. Realizing that Li Mo had no intention of keeping them to continue talking, they wisely chose to leave rather than shamelessly stay.

Anyway, Demitoriye Vatola himself didn't care about the [Feast of Flames]. He was now strongly stimulated and decided to return to the [War King's Domain] to cultivate. Ibrisbel Yagiz, on the other hand, was preparing to return directly to the [Extinction Dynasty]. Of course, he hadn't forgotten to tell his mother, the Second True Ancestor, about how easily Li Mo had defeated the Third True Ancestor. Such an important matter couldn't be delayed. Compared to the [Feast of Flames], it was completely insignificant.

After all, the three vampire progenitors are already recognized as the three strongest in the world. Any other demonic powerhouse or top human superhuman who might be able to contend with the vampire progenitors for a short time would be marked by the three Night Empires. Li Mo, who easily defeated the third progenitor, would be the focus of attention of all forces, not to mention that it seems the fourth progenitor has been resurrected.

Ibrisbel Aggiz naturally understood the importance of this, and Demitoriye Vatora would also report the situation of this battle to the Forgotten War King. However, the Third True Ancestor herself did not value the fact that she had been defeated so quickly as much as she valued Li Mo, a top expert.

As for Xian Guyong himself, Li Mo arranged for him to receive the Fourth True Ancestor's physical body that was to be sent over. In a short time, Li Mo was left alone in the port, which had been completely transformed!

………………

"Oh, Fourth Ancestor, have you already won?"

On the port observation deck, which had been baptized by a sea of ​​lava and then frozen into a glacier, Li Mo heard Nangong Nayue's voice behind him. Then he saw Nangong Nayue appear with Aurora, directly through a spatial spell.

Undoubtedly, although Nangong Nayue's tone was somewhat sarcastic, the shock she felt when looking at Li Mo was undeniable. She had just observed the entire battlefield using an observation technique and witnessed Li Mo knock out the Third True Ancestor in one move, causing all three factions of the Blood Clan to choose the option of surrender. This made her, who had previously overestimated Li Mo's strength, raise her estimate of his power even further.

Compared to Nangong Nayue, Aurora still had a very cute and innocent expression. She ran straight to Li Mo's side, looking at him with a pitiful and expectant look, hoping that Li Mo would take her to eat something delicious!

"Yes, the Third True Ancestor and those two vampire nobles have already surrendered. Except for one guy who placed the Fourth True Ancestor's body in his possession on [Itogami Island], the other two sides will send over their Fourth True Ancestor bodies. I've sent Shizuka Koyo to escort them along the way!"

Faced with Nangong Nayue's words, Li Mo made no attempt to conceal his recent victory. He knew that Nangong Nayue had also witnessed the battle, and it was with his tacit approval that she and the officials of [Itogami Island] observed it. Now, he casually walked to Nangong Nayue's side, gently stroking her hair as he whispered, "As for the rest, there's the Fourth True Ancestor's physical body held by that arms dealer. But even if we deal with him, we still need to resolve the [Prison Barrier] issue for you before the [Feast of Flames] ceremony. As for Sento Mu Aya, we can discuss releasing her again..."

When Li Mo said those last words, Nangong Nayue's face turned into a palette of colors, from rosy to white and then to ashen. Yet she couldn't say anything to refute Li Mo's words, since it had been agreed upon beforehand.

Even though Nangong Nayue knew that Li Mo, that wicked guy, had designs on both her and her friend Xian Dumu Aye, the completion of the [Feast of Flames] ritual and the revival of the Fourth True Ancestor would inevitably affect the stability of the [Prison Barrier] due to the ritual involving [Itogami Island]. Moreover, even though she herself was not very willing, she couldn't help but fall silent when she thought of her friend who had done so to redeem her and the other witches.

Admittedly, Li Mo's approach wasn't exactly aboveboard, and he had actually discussed it with her beforehand. Nangong Nayue had her objections but had to admit that if Li Mo insisted on forcing things, she would have no choice but to accept it. The fact that he had discussed it with her first was already a concession. Otherwise, according to the rule of the strong taking all in Japan, the dignity, life, and everything else of the weak would be controlled by the strong, unless the weak could surpass the strong; otherwise, they would be no different from slaves.

Li Mo offered Nangong Nayue very lenient terms. Apart from her and her friend Xian Dumu Aye staying by his side, there was absolutely no need to worry about anything else regarding Itogami Island. He could even help resolve the aftereffects of the witch's contract with the demon that would corrupt her soul. Moreover, since the Fourth True Ancestor had been resurrected and could rightfully control Itogami Island, he would naturally not mistreat Nangong Nayue and the others.

Therefore, even though Nangong Nayue felt like she was being treated like a little girl every time Li Mo gently stroked her hair, she still acquiesced to Li Mo's plan. At most, she felt a sense of urgency and confusion when it came to actually putting it into action.

"The other prisoners in the [Prison Barrier]... Oh, I'm overthinking it. If the Fourth Ancestor were to intervene, those prisoners really wouldn't be a problem!"

Originally, Nangong Nayue wanted to find a topic about the [Prison Barrier], but as soon as she spoke, she immediately realized and laughed. She felt that the [Prison Barrier] prisoners who had caused her so much trouble were not taken seriously by Li Mo at all, because of their special status and strength. It was as if dealing with them was not a big deal. The prisoners themselves should be the ones to worry about.

To put it simply, those prisoners who were a headache for Nangong Nayue and even the officials of [Itogami Island] were nothing in front of the Fourth True Ancestor. Being killed or imprisoned was of no concern to him, and even the extraordinary forces behind them would not pursue the matter!

"As for releasing them, I won't go on a killing spree. Besides, there are indeed people among them who can be accepted. Xian Du Mu A Ye is one example, and there are others..."

Seeing Nangong Nayue's self-deprecating attitude, Li Mo held down Aurora, who had been following him, with one hand, and gently patted Nangong Nayue's shoulder with the other. He explained with a very sincere expression that he would definitely not use a simple solution of killing people directly to deal with the personnel in the [Prison Barrier].

While the Russian approach to handling the situation was indeed simple and straightforward, and even the forces behind the prisoners imprisoned in the [Prison Barrier] wouldn't challenge the Fourth True Ancestor, Li Mo himself felt that simply killing them all was too wasteful. He knew that the prisoners in the [Prison Barrier], where Nangong Nayue's true form was stationed, were not ordinary prisoners; some were descendants of the former [Heavenly Department], while others had connections to the three great Night Empires or even extraordinary forces.

It's no exaggeration to say that every prisoner imprisoned in the [Prison Barrier] is valuable in Li Mo's eyes, valuable in every way. Simply killing them would be a waste of resources. He decided to squeeze all the value out of those prisoners and turn them into his subordinates, so that he could make perfect use of them.

Of course, Li Mo didn't tell Nangong Nayue directly. He planned to deal with her after he arrived at the [Prison Barrier]. Nangong Nayue could only guess that Li Mo had other methods, but considering her current position, she decided to pretend to be deaf and dumb!
