Dragon Blood Saint Emperor

Gazing at the nine veils of light beside him, Ye Wushuang was visibly stunned. ’Why isn’t there one in front of me?’

It wasn’t just him; everyone was stunned.

All eyes fell on Ye Wushuang. ’First place... gets no reward?’

’What about the Barbarian God’s Blessing meant for first place?’

’Could it be that the Giant Elder’s few words of encouragement were the Barbarian God’s Blessing?’

In that moment, the disciples of the Ancient Spirit Sect grew restless and were about to question it, but the Star Elder stopped them with a wave of his hand. His eyes remained fixed on Ye Wushuang.

He couldn’t care less about any Barbarian God’s Blessing right now. What mattered most was Ye Wushuang’s death calamity!

He had previously inferred that this death calamity would manifest on the Barbarian God Battle Platform, but the event was over, and it still hadn’t happened!

This brought the Star Elder no relief. On the contrary, his expression grew even graver. With his Inference Technique, it shouldn’t have been difficult to divine a sliver of Ye Wushuang’s destiny, and he refused to believe his calculation could have been wrong.

The Star Elder sighed inwardly. ’Xiaoshuang, you must be careful! An unknown crisis is the most terrifying and fatal kind. If you let your guard down for even a moment, death will be waiting!’

Time ticked by, second by second. Ye Wushuang’s expression remained largely unchanged, his eyes fixed on the nine veils of light.

It was as if he couldn’t care less about his own Barbarian God’s Blessing. Instead, he seemed more concerned with what treasures the others had received.

A major reason he had participated in the Barbarian God Battle Platform this time was to find a Holy Medicine for his master, the Star Elder, so he could use its Holy Power to mend his Dao injury.

’I hope they have one,’

Ye Wushuang murmured to himself. He glanced at the Star Elder’s still-pale face, and his gaze grew even more resolute.

’As long as there’s a Holy Medicine, I’ll obtain it, no matter the cost.’

HUMMM, HUMMM, HUMMM...

After about a quarter of an hour, the nine veils of light began to ripple and surge, drawing everyone’s attention.

BOOM!

Nine figures stepped out from the veils of light simultaneously. Behind them, the veils gradually shrank until they disappeared completely.

"They’re out!"

The crowd murmured with excitement, as if they were the ones who had received treasures.

The nine people who emerged from the veils of light all wore uncontainable smiles. Clearly, they were all extremely satisfied with their rewards.

Each of them held an item in their hands—these were their treasures!

In Wudao’s hand was a black spear engraved with relief carvings of Demon Dragons. Runes were inlaid upon these carvings.

These runes were formed from countless Inscriptions, exuding an ancient, desolate aura and a heart-palpitating pressure.

Wudao clearly didn’t recognize it, so he turned to look at the Giant Elder.

The Giant Elder announced, "This is a Pseudo-Saint Dao Weapon!"

"What!"

The moment the Giant Elder finished speaking, the entire arena erupted in shock. Anything touched by the "Saint" level was terrifying, yet Wudao was holding a Pseudo-Saint Dao Weapon. That treasure was simply too precious.

The Giant Elder continued, "A Pseudo-Saint Dao Weapon is crafted from the same materials as a Holy Dao Soldier. However, it has not been baptized by a Saint with their Holy Dao, nor has it been fused with a Saint’s Dao Fruit. It is merely inscribed with Holy Text, which is why it isn’t a true Holy Dao Soldier. But it can serve as a weapon to prove one’s Dao, accompanying its wielder until they reach the Nirvana Realm. Once the wielder proves their Dao and integrates their Dao Fruit and Dao Patterns into the weapon, it will immediately be elevated to a Holy Dao Soldier."

Holy Weapons were said to exist in the world, capable of slaying all living beings, annihilating worlds, and shattering star rivers—possessing truly immense power.

With time, the Pseudo-Saint Dao Weapon in Wudao’s hand could undergo a metamorphosis and become a terrifying existence. For Wudao, this was indeed the perfect reward.

’A weapon to prove my Dao! It’s exactly what I wanted!’ Staring at the black spear, sharp glints of light flashed in Wudao’s cold eyes. His ultimate goal was to prove his Dao!

Many people grew green with envy. Some experts in the Yin Yang Realm even had a greedy light flicker in their eyes, though they quickly suppressed it.

They were already aware of how terrifying Wudao was. With his special constitution and immense potential, offending him now could lead to his revenge in the future—and that would be their doom.

Next, all eyes turned to the third-place winner, Beize Yunzhuo. He held a Jade Box that was sealed with a special technique.

With the Giant Elder’s help, the Jade Box was opened.

ROAR...

Four heaven-shaking bestial roars suddenly erupted from the Jade Box, shaking everyone to their core!

Immediately, four drops of vibrant blood floated into the air, radiating a dazzling light. As they did, apparitions of the Four Symbols True Spirit flickered into being, exuding boundless Divine Power.

Beize Yunzhuo’s pupils constricted. He immediately shut the Jade Box, and only then did the apparitions vanish.

"That’s the True Spirit Essence Blood of the Four Symbols True Spirit! Heavens, it’s True Spirit Blood!"

The crowd’s hearts trembled. Although Beize Yunzhuo had quickly shut the box, they had still seen it clearly. That was the True Spirit Essence Blood of the Four Symbols True Spirit—the blood of Divine Beasts! This reward was far too valuable!

After closing the Jade Box, Beize Yunzhuo gripped it tightly, so excited he could barely contain himself. ’Four drops of True Spirit Essence Blood! This is something I’ve only dreamed of! If I refine it, the benefits for manifesting the four True Spirits will be enormous. This is truly a Heaven-Defying Opportunity!’

Meanwhile, Ye Wushuang’s brow furrowed slightly. ’Neither second nor third place got a Holy Medicine. My only hope is to see what fourth and fifth received.’

He turned his gaze to Dii Qingxue and Liuu Tianlan. They, too, revealed the treasures they had obtained. Dii Qingxue had received a pendant.

To everyone’s astonishment, the pendant contained a sealed star. It was not only breathtakingly beautiful and glittering with starlight, but it also emanated a terrifying power.

As for Liuu Tianlan, she received the Sword Dao inheritance from a Nirvana Realm expert.

The treasures for the remaining participants were revealed in succession. It seemed as though everything had been prearranged, as each treasure perfectly suited its recipient. It was an uncanny phenomenon, as if the Barbarian God Battle Platform were a living entity, capable of bestowing treasures according to each person’s needs.

But what made Ye Wushuang’s heart sink was the fact that among the nine of them, not one had received a Holy Medicine!

’There was none!’

Ye Wushuang was deeply disappointed. ’Without a Holy Medicine, I can only use the Wood Essence to temporarily suppress Master’s Dao injury and look for another solution later.’

Just as Ye Wushuang was frowning in disappointment, the Giant Elder’s voice rang out. "You have all received your respective rewards. Next is the reward for the first-place champion of this Battle Platform, the Strongest Warrior: the Barbarian God’s Blessing!"

"This Barbarian God’s Blessing is a cosmic honor, one that only the Strongest Warrior is worthy of receiving!"

The crowd, still reeling from the shock of the previous treasures, snapped back to attention. Their gazes fell back upon Ye Wushuang. The treasures for the other nine were already heaven-defying.

What kind of heaven-defying thing could the Barbarian God’s Blessing possibly be?

Ye Wushuang fixed his gaze on the Giant Elder, as did Dii Qingxue, Wudao, and the others.

"O great Barbarian God, in accordance with your will, we have selected the Strongest Warrior! This dazzling champion has now emerged. We beseech you, grant him your blessing!"

The Giant Elder, however, paid them no mind. His expression was solemn as he gazed up at the sky, piously chanting a ritual incantation!

Below, the members of the Giant Spirit Race, who also seemed to understand the ritual words, began to chant along piously, as if an ancient rite of Priests was taking place once more.

RUMBLE!

As they chanted, the Barbarian God Battle Platform began to tremble. High above its center, a rift tore open in the sky.

A huge mass of swirling, ethereal light burst forth from the rift. Its radiance illuminated the land like a descending god, suffusing the air with endless Divinity!

The sky filled with wondrous phenomena: phantasmal beasts flickered in and out of view, and countless flowers bloomed in an instant, as if to welcome a supreme being of heaven and earth!

The Giant Spirit Clan and the Giant Elder prostrated themselves on the ground, their chanting never ceasing.

Meanwhile, the Treasure-Seeking Rat on Ye Rou’s shoulder poked its little head out, squeaking excitedly.

"Holy hell, it’s *that* thing! Kid, you’ve struck gold! Lord Cat is jealous, so damn jealous!"

Within the Chaos Space, the Dragon Cat, who had been silent until now, seemed to awaken and began to clamor.

RUMBLE!

Something seemed to be wrapped within that massive ball of ethereal light, floating at its center and emitting a seven-colored Divine Light.

A seven-colored rainbow bridge extended from it, reaching all the way to Ye Wushuang’s feet. It was like a Bridge of Heaven and Earth, a path that only gods were worthy to tread.

"Strongest Warrior! You are the one most qualified to step onto this Rainbow Bridge and receive the Barbarian God’s Blessing. Go now!"

The Giant Elder spoke to Ye Wushuang, turning his head while continuing to chant.

Upon hearing this, Ye Wushuang paused for a moment before lifting his foot and stepping onto the Seven-Colored Rainbow Bridge!
