Chapter 854: The Heavenly Way’s Will That Has Yet to Digest the Newcomer’s Big Gift

Xiong Li took out his communication artifact and saw the messages on it.

His expression began to change strangely.

"What’s wrong, Senior Brother?" Qian Bing asked.

"A friend of mine is coming to join the game; his strength is only slightly below mine. This will cover our weak point," Xiong Li hesitated for a moment, then replied after finishing his message on the communication artifact.

At that moment, on a giant spiritual boat, the kind-looking woman returned the communication artifact to Zhuang Ling.

"Just locate it on the communication artifact and go on your own."

"Whether the romance works out or not isn’t important; having one more close friend is good too," the woman said as she patted Zhuang Ling’s strong Giant Hand, speaking with kind patience.

"Big sister, I’m leaving; you must protect yourself," Zhuang Ling said with concern.

"Don’t worry, this hand card has a support call function. If you encounter a Blood Demon you can’t fight, you can call for help from the Hidden Spirit Sect. You don’t need to worry about safety," the woman said with a smile.

Zhuang Ling nodded and then looked at a swordsman standing next to the woman.

"Brother-in-law, take good care of my sister. If anything happens, you better not live either," Zhuang Ling said with a stern voice.

"Anyone who wants to harm your sister must step over my dead body first," the swordsman replied with an annoyed expression.

He had been a swordsmanship genius since childhood and had trained for thousands of years under an invincible respected elder.

When he met his true love at the Harmony Sect, he thought he could protect her with his swordsmanship as a devoted husband.

But who would have thought he wouldn’t be able to withstand three punches from his own sister-in-law?

"Big sister, brother-in-law, I’m off."

Zhuang Ling sat on a small spiritual boat and flew toward the distance.

"Oh, you little sister…"

"One day, she’ll hammer me to death," the swordsman sighed in defeat.

"Then you better treat me well so your little life can be spared," the woman said, wrapping her arm around the swordsman’s.

A giant stone monument stood outside the ruins of the Blood Demon city.

"You have avenged your enemies. I don’t know what rules your world follows, but where we come from, we believe in burying the dead properly so they can find peace. I hope you are born into a better life next time," Xiong Li said to the giant monument.

Beneath the giant monument lay buried millions of captured members of the human race.

"Notify Grape to come collect the aftermath and gather the loot. Once my friend arrives, we will move on to the next place," Xiong Li instructed.

Qian Bing nodded and casually began to contact the logistics puppet support team.

"Senior Brother, who is your friend?" Qian Bing asked curiously.

"A body refinement friend; you’ll know when you see him," Xiong Li said.

Just then, a sound of something cutting through the air came from afar, and a spiritual boat flew toward Xiong Li.

The spiritual boat landed not far from them, and Zhuang Ling, standing two meters tall, stepped down from the boat.

"Xiong Li, how about we compete to see who kills more Blood Demons?" Zhuang Ling said, stretching her joints as they cracked all over.

"Alright, but first, congratulations on advancing to Great Ascension Master," Xiong Li said with a smile.

"If I don’t reach the Great Ascension stage soon, I’ll be at a disadvantage when we spar next time," Zhuang Ling replied.

A giant spiritual boat flew over the crowd and slowly descended. Tens of thousands of puppets emerged from the boat, beginning to sweep through the entire ruins.

They collected Space Artifacts from the bodies of various Blood Demons, also taking their carcasses for centralized destruction.

Qian Bing looked at Zhuang Ling’s massive figure, then glanced at Xiong Li, and involuntarily blurted out,

"You two look perfect together~"

Two sharp glares instantly shot toward Qian Bing.

A large hand heavily landed on Qian Bing.

Half of Qian Bing’s leg sank into the ground.

"If you can’t keep quiet, then don’t speak; nobody thinks you’re mute," Xiong Li said lightly.

Another large hand came down hard on Qian Bing’s other shoulder.

"I’ve already crushed those who tarnished my purity. For your sake, being a fellow disciple of Xiong Li, I’ll spare you this time," Zhuang Ling said with a serious tone.

At this point, only Qian Bing’s head was left visible, and he looked pitifully toward Xiong Li.

Xiong Li gently stomped his foot, shaking Qian Bing free.

"Let’s go. We need to head to the next Blood Demon city," Xiong Li said.

In the void of the Star Realm, Xu Fan sat cross-legged on the head of a giant beast.

"Grape, let the Heavenly Way’s Will of the Star Realm seal all the small worlds first. It would be best to freeze the time in all the small worlds," Xu Fan instructed.

"Master, it’s no problem to seal the small worlds, but freezing time can only last for one year at most. Exceeding that will deplete the Heavenly Way’s Will source of the Star Realm," Grape replied.

"That’s a bit weak, don’t you think? You can’t even handle this?" Xu Fan frowned slightly.

"He’s still an immature Heavenly Way’s Will, with weak control over the entire Star Realm. The key point is that he has just established the ascension channel and hasn’t undergone systematic training yet," Grape explained.

“Systematic training?” Xu Fan asked, puzzled. Was this yet another new concept?

"When the Heavenly Way’s Will of the middle thousand world builds an ascension channel, it receives a starter big gift from the Heavenly Way’s Will of the higher realm."

"And the Heavenly Way’s Will of the Star Realm just got the starter big gift and hasn’t had time to digest it before being invaded by the Heavenly Way’s Will of the Blood Demon Race."

Hearing Grape’s words, Xu Fan chuckled.

"Consider it a blessing for the foolish; encountering us, they can still enjoy life." Xu Fan said.

At that moment, a figure slowly materialized behind Xu Fan.

It was the young Blood Demon who had fused with the supreme Blood Demon.

"Master, the task has been completed; all Blood Demons above the Core Formation stage have been slaughtered," the young Blood Demon reported.

Although his tone was very respectful, his eyes were filled with despair and hatred.

Xu Fan lightly waved his hand, returning control of his body to the young Blood Demon.

"What are your thoughts on the journey so far?" Xu Fan asked with a smile.

"I wish I could tear you into a million pieces and crush your bones!" he spoke with malice.

"Don’t be so emotional; as they say, ‘an eye for an eye.’ The way your Blood Demon Race treated the human race, I shall treat you the same."

"I’m merely an avenger," Xu Fan said calmly.

"I don’t care about that. In my eyes, you are the enemy who wiped out my kin," the young Blood Demon gritted his teeth.

"What do you expect? It’s the law of the jungle; when we took advantage of the weak, this day was inevitable."

"You are now the new supreme Blood Demon, and the hatred of the Star Realm’s human race falls on you."

"I will seal all your powers and hand you over to the rescued human race of the Star Realm; I hope you get along well with them," Xu Fan said, snapping his fingers lightly.

The young Blood Demon felt himself transformed into an ordinary Blood Demon with no cultivation.

The only difference was that he still possessed the recovery abilities of the supreme Blood Demon.

A Dao Artifact spiritual boat appeared, and two Great Ascension stage puppets came down, restraining the young Blood Demon, then returned to the boat, flying toward the distant base of the Hidden Spirit Sect.
