Chapter 2192 - 2185: You Shouldn’t Have Any Objections, Right?
Zhang Menglong’s actions sent shivers down the spines of several emperors. They were well aware of the red stone’s allure to the blood slave beasts. Once thrown inside, it would cause the beasts in the blood pond to swarm in a short period.
If Zhang Menglong activated the red stone within the blood pond, that was one thing. He was quite capable, so dealing with the blood slave beasts wasn’t an issue for him. But as for them, it was a different story!
Although they were powerful transcendents, facing dozens of blood slave beasts posed a significant challenge, and they could get seriously injured. Moreover, they couldn’t kill the blood slave beasts, and as their strength waned, they’d inevitably end up on the losing side.
However, with Zhang Menglong standing here, none of them dared to retreat or leave. Instead, they braced themselves to remain.
As for the two guards and the commander, although they were desperate to leave this dangerous place, they couldn’t budge as long as the emperors stayed put. They just hoped the battle between the powerful would spare the ordinary folk like them.
[Director, a blood slave beast has taken the bait!] Gou Dan exclaimed with excitement.
"Yes, I can feel it," Zhang Menglong nodded. He sensed several formidable entities approaching him, with more continuously coming his way—a vast number!
"Splash!"
The water surface erupted like a shell had hit it, and a massive splash appeared as a blood slave beast over two thousand meters long burst from the blood pond. It resembled a blood dragon, soaring into the sky, tracing an arc before lunging directly at Zhang Menglong.
"This blood slave beast must have the power of at least an eighth-grade transcender!" The commander shuddered, knowing how challenging it was to even entangle such a beast. And once caught in its grip, it would be a battle to the death due to depleted stamina.
"Be careful, my lord!" Several emperors realized it was their moment to shine.
"It’s alright, you can simply watch from the sidelines!" Zhang Menglong didn’t take a step back in front of the gigantic blood dragon. With the boost in soul rank, both his strength and Soul Power had stepped up a notch, making it effortless for him to deal with eighth-grade transcender-level creatures.
He grabbed the blood claw reaching out to him, barely stepping back, neutralizing its momentum.
"This strength rivals ninth-grade transcendents!" The emperors witnesses Zhang Menglong in action for the first time. They recalled when the alliance hierarch used fourth-grade transcender power to dominate the battlefield, instilling fear even in beings surpassing transcendence. Zhang Menglong’s prowess demonstrated that the hierarch’s descendants were indeed monstrously powerful.
Just then, a second blood slave beast emerged, but as soon as it breached the blood pond’s surface, a dark shadow descended upon it—it was the body of the blood dragon!
At this moment, the blood dragon had become akin to a weapon in Zhang Menglong’s hand. Like a whip, it brutally lashed the emerging blood slave beasts back into the blood pond, inflicting severe wounds on them.
"How do they train?" The emperors murmured.
"No idea, maybe they’re all monsters? Since the alliance hierarch departed, I haven’t seen such absurd scenes in a long time."
"Even we couldn’t withstand more than a few minutes against so many blood slave beasts."
...
The allure of the blood stone to the blood slave beasts was indeed deadly. In less than two minutes, over a hundred blood slave beasts had emerged from the blood pond. Facing these immortal creatures, Zhang Menglong admittedly felt slightly overwhelmed.
"Hexagram, Tower of the Void!"
For this round, the Tower of the Void Zhang Menglong summoned was at least ten times larger than before, even overshadowing the vast bodies of the blood slave beasts.
The Tower of the Void drilled through like a screw, shredding several blood slave beasts at once. Their souls exploded, leaving pools of golden jelly-like substances.
"Is this what the lord is collecting?"
The emperors were evidently unaware of such remnants left after defeating the blood slave beasts, and they wondered about the purpose of these mysterious entities.
"Consider them a gift to you!" Zhang Menglong tossed a heap of golden jelly at them. While ordinary human souls couldn’t absorb this Soul Power, their physical bodies could absorb a small portion, offering some enhancement—useful for navigating the blood pond.
The Tower of the Void relentlessly annihilated those blood slave beasts, but with their increasing numbers, its single-target efficiency began to wane.
"The Fallen Heart Flame can attack souls, let’s try the big guns!"
Zhang Menglong raised his hand, conjured a Buddha’s Fury Lotus containing the Fallen Heart Flame, and fiercely hurled it towards the blood slave beasts in the pond!
The blood slave beasts let out anguished cries, their bodies—initially charging at Zhang Menglong—plummeting to the ground and transforming into pools of red liquid. Once their souls were obliterated, their bodies turned to empty shells, incapable of maintaining form.
"This one attack took down at least several hundred!" Zhang Menglong didn’t hold back, promptly gathering all the golden jelly.
Despite their desire for these items, the emperors understood they were out of their reach!
"The numbers are a bit lacking, it’s a waste of time!"
Zhang Menglong immediately took out the remaining 20 red stones, activating them all at once!
If the previous disturbance was like fireflies, now it was akin to a beacon in the night. Hundreds and thousands of blood slave beasts swarmed from the blood pond, its expanse comparable to an ocean on Earth, rushing to converge here within five minutes!
Yet as they leapt from the water, Zhang Menglong awaited them with conjured nuclear bombs.
Soul Flowers exploded at the center of Town No. 1, drawing the onlookers’ gaze to the phenomenon, uncertain about the events unfolding in the blood pond.
In an hour, Zhang Menglong exterminated over a hundred thousand blood slave beasts!
Yet he felt slightly fatigued, taking all the golden jelly and reclaiming the red stones.
No longer sensing high-grade soul energy waves, the blood slave beasts dispersed swiftly, vanishing without a trace.
"My lord, what exactly are you collecting?" The emperors couldn’t help but ask.
"Precious items," Zhang Menglong replied with a smile, "But you can’t utilize them, so I won’t elaborate."
Though they tried for a while, apart from a tiny fraction absorbed by their bodies, they couldn’t utilize these items.
"By the way, I have a question for you!"
"Please, my lord!"
"If I were to obliterate every blood slave beast in the blood pond, I suppose you wouldn’t have any objections?"
