One Pound Meat, One More Attribute Point

Bang!

Just as the feeling of disgust reached its climax, a large hand gently rested on the third prince’s shoulder.

It was his father.

A reluctant roar mixed with fury emanated from the vortex, “Your lifeline is drawing to an end, you cannot protect this land forever.”

The Warrior Emperor did not answer, but with a wave of his hand, all the strange phenomena in the sky disappeared, and the terrifying aura was retracted.

The Warrior Emperor’s expression was normal, appearing to still stand at the pinnacle, as if he had never been injured. But only the two children standing beside him could sharply sense the increasingly thick scent of decay on their father, resembling an old man on his deathbed, aged and close to death.

The third prince suppressed the shock in his heart and, recalling the scene he had just witnessed, carefully asked, “What exactly are those things?”

The Warrior Emperor’s gaze lingered on him momentarily.

He slowly turned around and walked alone into the pitch-black Taihe Palace. It was only when his towering figure had completely vanished into the tangible darkness that a voice, carrying a hint of a sigh, came along with the cold breeze, “Enemies.”

…

…

After leaving Changyue and returning to the Jiang-E region,

Su Heng did not immediately return to his main base, Baihua County in Jiangzhou.

He thought about the current situation. Although the Demon Descendants were a threat, they would need some time to make a full return. Besides, even if the sky were to fall, there would be tall ones to shoulder it; he truly did not feel much urgency at the moment.

Instead, the situation on the Mythical Battlefield was somewhat uncertain.

Although after merging with the remnants of a dragon, Su Heng’s strength had soared, and he already had a lot of confidence.

But within the Blood Realm, there were ancient legacies as well, and the vast Longevity Heavens were beyond comprehension. Su Heng knew too little about them, and anything could happen inside. Therefore, it was necessary to gather intelligence and make preparations in advance. Only then could one be prepared for any event when the Mythical Battlefield fully descended.

Thus…

After some consideration, Su Heng employed Spirit Travel and transformed into a streak of light.

Hurrying towards the direction of Skull Plain.

…

Skull Plain was still a wasteland, but compared to his last visit, the environment had seemingly deteriorated even further.

The sky was a murky grey, permeated with red clouds.

The ground was parched, with vast cracks spreading like spiderwebs. Thick plumes of smoke rose from them, mixed with a sharp, toxic stench. Su Heng landed on a mountaintop and looked down. Below should have been a lake, providing precious water to nearby life.

But now with the opening of the Mythical Battlefield, the pollution from the Longevity Heavens had descended.

The environment underwent severe mutations; the lake was blood-red as if filled with viscous fresh blood. Surrounding it were bones, some with rotting flesh, and flies as big as thumbs buzzed about them.

Any plant seen growing on the landscape had become exceedingly vicious, actively preying on passing creatures.

"As the echoes of Longevity Heavens deepen, more and more Mythical Battlefields emerge, and their area continuously expands. Will the entire mortal world eventually be dragged into the Longevity Heavens?” Su Heng couldn’t help thinking, though he was destined not to find an answer.

Regardless,

Even if that day did truly come, he believed life would find an answer.

He made a brief stop there and then continued on his way, quickly arriving at the site of the former Imperial Monastery, guided by past memories.

When he had left the Imperial Monastery before, he could still see ruins, but now there was nothing left. The ground had caved in, forming a deep pit, with a blood-red beam of light penetrating the sky like a towering mountain. It was so monumental that it could be seen from great distances.

The aura of the Blood Realm overflowed from within.

Su Heng’s loose hair fluttered in the wind, feeling bursts of strong breezes, making his long coat whip about.

"Hmm?” He hovered in mid-air and then raised an eyebrow, looking with a hint of surprise toward a dark mountaintop in the distance. There, a figure in black sat with crossed legs, hair standing on end, a long sword resting on a thigh, calmly gazing at the blood-light in front, projecting an aura of a lofty hermit.

This person was none other than Meng Huan.

He seemed to be refining his spiritual will with the aura of the Blood Realm, cultivating himself in such a manner.

The effect appeared to be quite good; Su Heng felt that the aura on his body had become much more solid.

Since he hadn’t concealed his own aura when arriving,

Thus as soon as Su Heng descended from the sky, Meng Huan on the other side had noticed him.

Accompanied by a crisp sound of a sword’s cry, a streak of azure sword light soared into the clouds, circled back in the sky, and then retracted.

Meng Huan took a long exhale of turbid air, then stood up, his gaze landing on Su Heng, his face immediately showing a trace of joy.

"Long time no see, Senior Meng.” Su Heng extended his hand in a fist salute and took the initiative to greet.

"I’ve heard about the things that have happened in the Dragon Abyss.” Seeing Su Heng, Meng Huan was also very happy, “I didn’t expect that in just a few months, you would have grown to such an extent.”

He had been previously extremely worried about the affairs of the Mythical Battlefield.

But now, seeing Su Heng, it was as if he had shed a heavy burden, the entire person was considerably relaxed, regaining the innate casualness he had during their first meeting.

After a few words of casual conversation, Su Heng asked, “How are things here?”

"The Skull Plain has been contaminated, and more and more demons are being born within.”

When it came to serious matters, Meng Huan’s expression tightened as he answered, “That is still a small issue, after all, demons that have just been born don’t pose a big threat, our disciples and elders could easily resolve them.”

"The main issue is on the side of the Blood Realm

Meng Huan’s brows furrowed slightly and said, “Although the Mythical Battlefield has not fully opened yet, through certain rituals, some powerful beings have already managed to stealthily descend. These demons are troublesome; if we let them leave at will, they could easily cause destruction, creating endless future problems, so I’ve been guarding here for this period of time.”

"I see.” Su Heng was somewhat familiar with the current situation, and then he asked, “Where’s Solban, why haven’t I seen him?”

"Earlier, when he clashed with a demon god in the Blood Realm through the void, he was wounded, and now he is healing.”

"Wounded?” Su Heng was somewhat surprised.

Solban had gained a lot in the Dragon Abyss, and he had also obtained a drop of essence blood from Su Heng.

Moreover, with his talent, he was almost the most formidable among all those Su Heng had met, his strength should be quite impressive by now. To have been injured by a demon god in the Blood Realm through the void was no small matter – Su Heng suddenly became interested, “What does this demon god look like? Do you know its name?”

Meng Huan recalled seriously, “It’s a creature with wings, holding a scepter, with the body of a human and the head of a bird.”

"I heard from some demons that covertly slipped through that this fellow is one of the five pillars of the Blood Realm, named Kagous, known as the Weaver of Destiny.”

After hearing this, Su Heng let out a “heh” sound and immediately smiled, “I didn’t expect it to be an acquaintance.”

Meng Huan looked a bit surprised, “You’ve encountered this one too?”

"Yes!” Su Heng nodded, “When I killed the Blood Sacrifice Demon God Ralph, through his ritual, I briefly entered the Blood Realm once.”

This fellow replied with a grudge on his face, “At that time, I was chased out by this guy.”

"I see, no wonder.” Meng Huan had an expression of sudden realization.

Now it seemed, among the five Pillars of the Blood Realm, whether Kagous is the strongest is unclear, but he appeared to be the most active and eager one.

When Su Heng first arrived in the Blood Realm, Kagous was the first to reveal himself to stop him. And now with the arrival of the Mythical Battlefield, Kagous also actively opened the battlefield, aiming to bring about this time as soon as possible, in hopes of gaining rewards sooner.

He was really too eager to make progress!

Meng Huan sighed inwardly, just about to say something, but at that moment, a violent tremor suddenly shook the ground.

Perceiving the familiar aura emanating from it, Meng Huan’s face changed slightly, and he quickly warned, “Be careful, that guy is coming again!”

"Is that so?”

Su Heng shook his head, his bones cracking with the movement.

His fists clenched tight, a fierce grin spreading across his lips, his face filled with an eager excitement.
