Unrivaled Martial Emperor

Chapter 348 – Unity

Despair washed over most of the crowd as they watched Xue Tianhe take that final step, advancing to the Core Formation realm. With a single roar, he had neutralized the combined attack of over a hundred geniuses and sent them flying back with a follow-up attack.

“We’re done for!”

Xin Wuming, Zi Ling, Jiu Wuxue, and the other leaderboard geniuses suppressed their churning qi and blood. Their gazes turned extremely grim.

Xue Tianhe had just advanced, but his aura betrayed no hint of unstableness. His aura was so stable that it seemed like he had advanced half a year ago. He had devoured the blood of numerous experts, bolstering his strength to an extraordinary degree upon his breakthrough.

“What do we do?”

“We’re in trouble. This demonic being has just broken through, but his cultivation is already so stable. He’ll be tough to deal with.”

Hong Qianjun, Yuan Jun, and the others’ eyes narrowed in concern as they gravitated toward Xin Wuming, Zi Ling, and Jiu Wuxue, the strongest among the crowd.

The people subconsciously treated the three as their leaders when facing Xue Tianhe and the other blood demons.

His expression grim, Xin Wuming said solemnly, “We have no choice. We must fight to the death.”

“Hahahaha.” Xue Tianhe laughed out loud, his eyes carrying traces of contempt. “Fight to the death? Can you do that? My advice: surrender now. It'll spare you needless suffering. Today, there's no escape for you—only death awaits!"

“That’s right! Only death awaits you!”

“Hehe, perhaps we’ll end the younger generation of the Wuning Empire with this.”

The blood demons laughed carefreely. They licked their lips, casting savage glances at Xin Wuming and the others.

“No, I don’t want to die!”

“I don’t want to die either! Run, quickly, run!”

Panicked voices erupted from the crowd as some succumbed to the overwhelming pressure, darting off in a desperate bid to flee.

“I warned you. None of you will escape. Did you think I, Xue Tianhe, was bluffing?" said Xue Tianhe, his expression dripping with disdain.

He had already advanced into the Core Formation realm, yet they thought they could flee?

What a joke!

The bloody light coming from Xue Tianhe fluctuated. Then, he crossed his arms before his chest and pushed them out.

The bloody light transformed into blood-colored eagles. With Xue Tianhe as the starting point, they flew towards the fleeing individuals with lightning speed, almost imperceptible to the naked eye.

Chirp. Chirp, chirp...

Ah! A miserable cry rang out. A crimson claw pierced into the head of the slowest youth. That person’s complexion instantly turned red as all his blood flowed in reverse to his brain, absorbed and devoured by the blood eagle.

Soon, that youth’s miserable cry faded. The blood eagle had sucked away all his blood.

The same thing happened to the other fleeing martial artists. None of them managed to escape. Every one of them died tragically.

“Ahhh...”

The blood eagles returned after absorbing fresh blood and fused into Xue Tianhe.

Meanwhile, on Xin Wuming and Chen Fan's side, the unfolding spectacle sent shivers down the crowd’s spines, causing them to instinctively recoil.

It was too scary.

Even martial artists at the ninth level had tried to flee earlier, but they also failed to put up any resistance before they were killed and devoured, shocking the crowd.

This was the power of a Core Formation realm expert!

“How is it? You saw it for yourselves. Although you have the numbers on your side, with several Illusory Core realm experts to boot, you're still nothing more than a group of ants to me.

“In front of absolute strength, you ants are useless. I can easily kill you with a mere gesture. Now, choose your death: swift or agonizing?”

Xue Tianhe crossed his arms, looking at Xin Wuming and the others with detachment reminiscent of a butcher looking at their cattle.

Shifting his gaze onto Chen Fan, he said coldly, “Hoho, kid, you won’t be so lucky this time. Don’t worry, you’re different from him. I won’t kill you right away. You'll be my captive, a steady source of fresh blood.”

Xin Wuming and the others’ pupils trembled upon hearing this.

Chen Fan had crossed paths with Xue Tianhe before!

Chen Fan’s eyes were incomparably cold. He said, “Everyone, let’s strike together. We will all die here today if we don’t force this demonic being back or kill him.”

“That’s right.” Xin Wuming nodded. His gaze turned vicious, and he said, “Don’t listen to this demonic being. We have the absolute advantage in numbers. If we join forces, there’s still a slim chance of making it out alive. But if we give up, then we have no hope left.”

“He's giving us a choice because he's worried about us banding together and fighting him to the death. Now more than ever, we must unite as one and push back against these demonic beings.”

The crowd’s eyes flickered.

“Yes, join forces!”

“Join forces! Join forces!”

The crowd wasn't foolish. Surrendering to Xue Tianhe's wishes would only spell doom for them.

“Hoho, you’re still holding onto a sliver of delusion. Since that is the case, you can’t blame me. Blood Sea Flips the Heaven!”

The corners of Xue Tianhe’s lips curled up into a vicious smile. The bloody light around him rushed into the sky, and the aura and the pressure of a Core Formation realm expert erupted, shrouding heaven and earth.

Immediately, everyone felt as if an ancient divine mountain was pressing down on them.

Whoosh!

A terrifying sea of blood surged and rushed over. The force was capable of pulverizing even the mightiest of mountains.

“Attack! Attack him together!” Xin Wuming roared. His sword let out a metallic cry. He held nothing back, channeling his cultivation to the limit and slashing out.

Zi Ling, Jiu Wuxue, and the others did the same.

Everyone understood that they were at a crossroads between survival and death. Holding back meant certain death—there was no room for doubt in this fight for survival.

“Kill!”

“Annihilate!”

“Break!”

Several powerful masses of qi blast out, converging into a colorful pillar of light. It carried an aura capable of destroying mountains and severing the sea, blasting toward the sea of blood rushing in their direction.

Chen Fan had also gone all out. The seven illusory primeval vessels rotated as he thrust out his spear, causing heaven and earth to change colors.

Rumble!

Earth-shaking explosions boomed, threatening to burst the people’s eardrums. Terrifying sound waves spread out. Some mountains and trees in the lake’s surroundings broke apart from the vibrations.

The entire ground shook, with winding cracks appearing all over. The lake water was raised into towering waves, rolling and crashing.
