Videson was a catastrophe akin to the end of days; where he passed, stars dissolved, life vanished into nothingness, and all tangible things melted away. No one knew what had befallen Videson before this; once he descended into madness, the sudden surge of power was earth-shattering.

Even Xinghuo dreaded him like a venomous snake and swiftly fled. However, Videson's speed of approach increased drastically along with his surging power.

Soton, Pago, and the other Martial Artists at the Primal God realm, owing to the exquisite nature of their power and cultivation, managed to foresee the danger one step ahead and withdrew in time. But those below the Primal God realm were not so fortunate; once they were targeted, they had no chance of escape.

Videson's "Domain Field" spread out, enveloping everyone present. These were elites from the two great families, all at the Void God realm, yet not a single one survived; all were dissolved.

Just before they were shrouded by the Domain Field, a sinister shadow abruptly vanished from among them. In an instant, the shadow flickered and repositioned itself, surging toward the area where the members of the two families were most densely gathered.

He intended to lead Videson into the core territories of the Blekell and Austins families, aiming to obliterate the elite core of both families in one fell swoop with Videson's corrosive power. Soton's eyes turned crimson, and he shrieked hysterically, his roar like crashing thunder, surging toward Videson one by one.

But for some unknown reason, Videson was utterly insane, completely devoid of reason, deaf to Soton’s furious shouts. In Videson's heart, only one thought remained: kill Shi Yan.

He had locked onto Shi Yan's aura long ago; wherever Shi Yan was, Videson would pursue him. When Shi Yan shifted his target again toward the densely populated areas of the two Divine Clan families, Videson naturally followed.

"Something's wrong!" Suddenly, Xinghuo detected an anomaly. After just a slight perception, his face changed, and he exclaimed, "Shi Yan!

Shi Yan is the reason for Videson's madness; that fellow is influencing Videson from the shadows, compelling Videson to relentlessly hunt him!" Xinghuo saw through the truth. Videson would never have dared to go so mad as to lose all reason, nor should he have sustained it for so long.

The reason for this was, as Xinghuo suggested, Shi Yan's covert manipulation was indispensable. The myriad acupoints on Shi Yan’s body contained various forms of negative power, which were inherently evil forces capable of driving one into hysterical madness.

He unleashed this negative power, forming a torrent of negativity, which invaded Videson's mind as spiritual, malevolent energy, making the already frenzied Videson even more violent. It was like pouring oil on a raging fire, completely igniting Videson's frenzy and rousing the barbaric blood of his clan, causing him to utterly lose his self.

At this moment, Videson could not be woken by Soton's roar, nor could Xinghuo rouse him even with his profound mysteries. Having his Sea of Consciousness permeated by the torrent of negativity, Videson had transformed into a bloodthirsty barbarian beast, retaining only the purest instinct for slaughter, without a shred of rationality remaining.

"The Bloodthirsty New Venerable Lord?" Soton exclaimed in horror. Xinghuo nodded gravely, his eyes flickering, "It is him stirring up trouble in the shadows; he uses the malevolent negative energy to keep Videson continuously berserk.

Only by apprehending him can Videson be restored to normal." With that, Xinghuo's figure flickered, instantly vanishing. Soton and Pago exchanged a glance, burning rage appearing in their eyes, and they too forcefully activated their Soul Altars, simultaneously lunging towards Shi Yan’s direction.

That direction was precisely the fortress where the bulk of their two families’ forces, the main contingent attacking the Fire Rain Star Field, were gathered. As Soton and Pago advanced, they each released soul thoughts, commanding their clansmen to scatter immediately, lest they be enveloped by Videson’s Domain Field again and suffer catastrophic losses.

A fleeting shadow darted between the massive warships of the Divine Clan, and a thread of consciousness was released. This consciousness was meant to guide Videson’s pursuit, acting as the key anchor.

However, the moment this thread of consciousness was released, his expression shifted, sensing an invisible danger. His face changed slightly, and Shi Yan sneered, tapping his brow.

The crimson mark on his brow erupted into dazzling bloody light, the light merging and condensing, instantly transforming into a surging sea of blood. This sea initially covered a small area but spread instantly, seemingly without end, submerging many of the warships nearby one by one.

The Divine Clan members within those warships showed expressions of shock, and then those with lower cultivation levels all lost command of their minds. The evil mental power permeated with the sea of blood, quietly seeping into the Sea of Consciousness of every single Divine Clan member.

In an extremely short time, one by one, they emitted furious roars, their eyes filled with an endless lust for slaughter. The mystery of the Blood Soul Sea usually required considerable effort to activate, needing the blood of the enemy as a catalyst, fused with one's own divine power to spur it forth.

However, now, having broken through to the second heaven of the Primal God realm, and having absorbed numerous energies into his acupoints during this time, he could directly use his soul mark as the catalyst and divine power as the energy source to trigger it immediately. Moreover, the resulting Blood Soul Sea was not only broader but its evil mental power was far more terrifying.

All the negative power settled within his acupoints was injected into the Blood Soul Sea, causing it to boil, like a gaping maw ready to swallow living beings. With the sea of blood unleashed, the minds of many Divine Clan members collapsed, leading them to start killing each other.

As his thoughts shifted, the Blood Shield morphed into intimate armor, perfectly integrated with his Undying Body. He gripped the Blood Sword tightly, and with a casual sweep, pupils opened on the sword, an aura of sinister origin instantly erupting centered on him.

Boom, boom, boom! The Blood Sword in his hand shook, and where the tip pointed, blood exploded, causing the sea of blood to surge like a tsunami.

A brilliant galaxy of stars transformed into a clear, sacred stream, shooting over from a distance. Within this star river was the Divine Elder Xinghuo, who shouted fiercely, "How dare you!" Ice-cold starlight abruptly shot out from his Primal World, transforming into six colossal pythons of ice and cold condensed from stars.

The pythons were crystal white, fangs bared, vivid as life, each carrying his life aura. The six great pythons formed six directions, carrying terrifying might, attacking together to devour Shi Yan in one bite!

Shi Yan suddenly looked up, a cold, cruel look appearing on his face, and he sneered, "During the time of Giant Wave Star, you could severely wound or even kill me, but now, you no longer possess that capability!" The Blood Sword in his hand suddenly flew out, and the myriad pupils on the sword violently broke free from within, crimson and bizarre eyes appearing above the sea of blood. Centered on these bizarre pupils, flesh and blood violently condensed, transforming into numerous terrifying and evil Ancient Demon Gods.

These Ancient Demon Gods were as tall as mountains; some had blue faces and tusks, some had blade-like spurs on their backs, and some had curved horns on their heads. Their appearances varied, but they all possessed a world-destroying, terrifying aura.

After escaping from Giant Wave Star into the void turbulence, through his bargain with the 'Ring Spirit,' he had grasped the subtleties of the Blood Sword and Blood Shield. Now, having broken through to the second heaven of the Primal God realm and absorbing vast power within his body, he had a thorough understanding of the Devouring Mystery.

At this moment, he was at his absolute peak! In this instant, he feared no Xinghuo; unless one was truly immortal, he was confident no one could kill him!

The grotesque Ancient Demon Gods, like malevolent mountains, unleashed endless, terrifying, fierce energy. They roared silently and charged toward the six crystal pythons.

The Ancient Demon Gods directly clashed and wrestled with the crystal pythons released from Xinghuo's Primal World, fighting until the heavens and earth darkened. Yet, the Ancient Demon Gods showed absolutely no sign of defeat and were continually increasing their power.

"Kill him!" Xinghuo roared. A golden spear suddenly appeared from the firmament.

The spear carried an unstoppable, sharp metallic force, stabbing toward Shi Yan’s brow like a golden lightning bolt. Almost simultaneously, beneath Shi Yan's feet, countless star-sea meteor fragments violently piled up.

Pago's figure appeared strangely upon the meteors. He pointed a finger, and the massive meteor fragments, like stars of life, lunged at him like hundreds of peaks, intent on smashing him to dust.

This was a profound divine ability of the Earth Mystery, called Meteor Puncture; it attacked using the omnipresent meteorites in the star sea, drawing power from the divine force of the Earth Mystery, capable of shattering stars. The terrifying force of the Meteor Puncture, if it struck a life star, was enough to detonate it.

The clan leaders of Blekell and Austins, fearing Shi Yan would lure Videson over again, struck with their ultimate moves the moment they appeared, determined to annihilate Shi Yan in one blow and send him to join the Bloodthirsty one. "Swallowing Heaven and Earth!" Shi Yan chuckled sinisterly.

His Primal World suddenly manifested, like a dazzling sea of stars, like boundless desolation, like the vast cosmos. A mysterious dark abyss, a black hole almost identical to the Bloodthirsty Holy Land, suddenly materialized within his Primal World, then broke free from it and appeared over the sea of blood.

This black hole suddenly emitted an attractive force threatening to devour the firmament; all surrounding energies became chaotic. All the powerhouses suddenly felt a sensation of their souls collapsing, as if their main souls and altars were about to uncontrollably leave their minds and fall into that black hole.

Xinghuo, Soton, and Pago were no exception! Xinghuo's face drastically changed, showing horror, and he shrieked, "Not good!

He has grasped the subtlety of the Devouring Mystery! Do not use objects from the Primal World to attack him; use divine power, use divine power to attack!" Ten thousand years ago, Xinghuo was an outstanding warrior of the Divine Clan.

He had witnessed the Bloodthirsty one and deeply understood the terror of that supreme demon's ferocity, knowing the ruthlessness of the Devouring Mystery. Now, seeing Shi Yan unleash the divine ability "Swallowing Heaven and Earth," his spirit was greatly shaken, as if witnessing the supreme demon's ferocity once again obscuring the heavens and earth, drowning out the light of the star sea.

Hearing his shout, Soton and Pago's souls trembled. They hurriedly, with pale faces, changed their profound mysteries.

The soul energy within the golden spear and the Meteor Puncture, the subtleties of the Primal World, were forcibly drawn out by them. Instead, they injected more divine power into them and fiercely bombarded Shi Yan.

Shi Yan grunted, his majestic divine body shuddered, and the natural armor formed by the Blood Shield—those clusters of blood-colored clouds bloomed like flower buds on his divine body, forming patterns resembling gaping mouths. Boom, boom, boom!

The golden spear and the Meteor Puncture heavily struck his divine body. The mouths on his armor seemed to grow teeth and bite down on the spear.

The meteorites bombarded him, completely submerging him, yet they could not entirely conceal the blood-red light. Through the gaps between the piled-up meteorites, that dazzling blood-red light remained dazzling!

Just like the brilliance of Shi Yan today! (To be continued) .RT
