In the sky, with Huo Tongzi slain by Li Xiaotian's blade, Huang Mang and the others went mad.
After the Master of the Arid Hall resolved the trouble, the nine of them erupted with terrifying auras and charged towards Li Xiaotian.
Li Xiaotian stood his ground, energy rumbling within him.
The flesh and blood of Huo Tongzi, scattered in the air, were instantly devoured by his body. His form shifted from golden to blood-red, emanating an overwhelming stench of blood, making him appear like a blood-drenched giant.
Witnessing this, Huang Mang and the others' expressions flickered, followed by cold sneers. Across Yan Zhou, many who were watching this spectacle gasped, their faces filled with shock.
"Blood... Blood Son!" Dao Xuan stammered, his eyes wide with a mixture of shock and sorrow.
"To become a demon in a single thought, why must it be so?" Jian Chen mused with a complex expression.
"This shouldn't have happened, it shouldn't have! To become a Blood Son, to betray humanity, damnation awaits!" Yue E cried out.
Indeed, to absorb Huo Tongzi's cultivation as quickly as possible and to accelerate his own power, Li Xiaotian resorted to the Blood Sea cultivation technique he had long abandoned.
In a single thought, he transformed into a Blood Sea Blood Son.
"Hahaha, good, Li Xiaotian, old ancestor welcomes your return at any time. Even if you perish today, this ancestor will find a way to revive you!" a thunderous voice boomed from the Blood Sea battle zone, filled with excitement.
"The genius of humanity has become this old ancestor's blood slave, haha, forced by your human race to betray them, good, very good!"
At this moment, many beings from all corners of the world felt a sense of pity. Li Xiaotian had become a Blood Son; even if he survived today, he would be killed by other human powerhouses.
Although they could all see that Li Xiaotian was forced into this path, certain lines should not be crossed!
On the battlefield, as Li Xiaotian finished absorbing Huo Tongzi, his aura surged rapidly, and his previous injuries healed just as quickly.
"Rumble!"
Thunderous sounds emanated from within him, the roar of blood coursing through his veins.
Li Xiaotian now sported blood-red long hair, appearing extraordinarily alluring and exuding an aura of evil.
"Hahaha, Li Xiaotian, we saw your rebellious heart long ago. By becoming a Blood Son and betraying humanity, we act on behalf of heaven today!" Huang Mang declared with a laugh.
"Betraying humanity, no one can save you today, you must die!"
"My poor son was killed by you, a ferocious demon. He must have discovered your truth as a Blood Son, which is why you wantonly murdered him!" Jin Lian gritted her teeth and shouted, her eyes filled with grim satisfaction.
"Venerable Yue, he has already become this way, and you still intend to stop me?" The Master of the Arid Hall glanced at Venerable Yue and asked with a mocking tone.
"Hmph, he is him, and I am me. I acted before to protect my son-in-law of the Yue family, but now, old man, I simply can't stand you and want a fight!" Venerable Yue snorted coldly, charging towards the Master of the Arid Hall with killing intent. If these people hadn't forced him, would Li Xiaotian have chosen this path?
Boom!
The two top experts clashed instantly, the sky flickering between light and dark.
Meanwhile, Li Xiaotian looked at the nine individuals, Huang Mang among them, and grinned. He licked the blood from his lips and, surprisingly, charged forward.
"Kill!"
The great battle erupted once more. This time, Huang Mang and the others unleashed their full power. From the very beginning, Li Xiaotian endured numerous attacks.
But Li Xiaotian paid them no mind, casually targeting one person and unleashing his full array of techniques.
"Boom!"
His long saber slashed through the air, and Li Xiaotian then detonated it.
Instantly, countless blade fragments shot out in all directions.
Huang Mang and the others moved to defend themselves, but due to Li Xiaotian's sudden move, one or two reacted slowly, their bodies cut by the flying fragments, drawing blood.
In the next moment, Li Xiaotian surged forward, devouring the blood in the air.
"Be careful, heal your wounds quickly and don't let him get close!" warned the Old Ancestor of the Divine Sect, his expression turning somewhat grim.
They were all pleased that Li Xiaotian had become a Blood Son, but his strength had also increased, making him even harder to kill.
"Hmph, obliterate all blood, don't give him any chance!" Huang Mang commanded. Although Blood Sons were difficult to kill, ancient humans had managed to slay one before.
With the others on guard, they attacked Li Xiaotian again.
"Boom!"
Li Xiaotian grinned sinisterly and, in an instant, his body dissipated, transforming into a blood sea that enveloped everyone, followed by the detonation of the blood.
"Rumble!"
The endless blood adhered to Huang Mang and the others and detonated, catching all nine of them off guard.
"Damn it! Retreat!" Huang Mang roared and soared into the sky, distancing himself from the blood sea.
However, some were still too slow to react. The blood around Jin Lian suddenly surged, and Li Xiaotian's body materialized beside her.
"Boom!" Li Xiaotian unleashed a punch.
"You dare!"
"Presumptuous!" Huang Mang and the others shouted, rushing forward without hesitation.
"Crack!"
With a loud crack, Jin Lian cried out as Li Xiaotian forcefully broke her left hand.
Following that, Li Xiaotian's form dissipated, and Jin Lian's arm fell into the blood sea, instantly consumed.
"Ahhh! Ant! You deserve to die!" Huang Mang roared, unleashing torrents of terrifying attacks onto the blood sea.
