Western Zone, Northern Region.

The entire region was covered in blood-colored spiritual energy. Even the plants were stained with a touch of blood.

Countless blood fiends populated the Northern Region.

The Northern Region had fallen, and many living beings had become food for the blood fiends. The humans who had not escaped in time were being kept in captivity as a food source.

The dense blood-colored spiritual energy provided the foundation for blood fiend’s revival and strengthening.

Within the thick blood-colored spiritual energy, every blood fiend’s strength was slowly increasing.

When they died, the living beings who were lucky enough to escape with their souls had all become ghosts.

However, the blood-colored spiritual energy was too terrifying and even the ghosts were not willing to stay any longer. There was nothing of value left in the Northern Region.

The ghost race was spread all over the nine zones, but they did not care about the Northern Region.

The blood fiends would not turn into ghosts upon death, and none of their belongings were beneficial to the ghost race.

Thanks to this, the ghost race had given up on the Northern Region.

Occasionally, they would enter, but only ghosts with average strength who wandered around the periphery of the Northern Region.

In the depths of the Northern Region, a special ancient battlefield emerged.

Different from the other ancient battlefields, this ancient battlefield seemed to be a supreme treasure and not just a piece of land.

Unlike the other ancient battlefields, which were filled with blood lakes and blood fiends, this ancient battlefield was filled with a faint grayish-black aura.

At first glance, this aura unknowingly made one feel fear, as if there was a great horror hidden within it that wanted to devour people.

The black ancient battlefield was quietly surrounded by the blood fiends, and grayish-black aura bubbled and rolled.

In the middle of the battlefield was a black stone house. The door was closed, and no one knew what was inside.

On both sides of the stone house, there was a strange black tree with twisted and mottled branches. It was about thirty meters tall, and black and red fruits the size of a thumb hung on the tree.

Amidst the faint grayish-black aura, two blood fiends with bulging muscles were walking toward the black stone house.

When they saw the black and red fruits on the two strange trees outside the stone house, their eyes revealed a look of desire and excitement.

Plop!

The two blood fiends knelt in front of the stone house.

They were very respectful. After kowtowing, they waited, motionless.

Pa!

Two fruits fell from the strange tree and landed in front of the two blood fiends.

“Thank you for your gift, Lord!”

After the two blood fiends kowtowed and thanked him, they excitedly picked up the fruits and swallowed them.

Their bodies were suffused with the faint grayish-black aura, as well as an aura of bloodl.u.s.t. Their bodies seemed to be undergoing some kind of transformation, and their intelligence improved even further.

The two blood fiends were extremely excited.

This was what living was truly like!

Previously, they had just been mindless beasts, but this expert had given them the opportunity to progress further.

An indescribable voice came from the stone house.

“Can you occupy the Western Zone?”

“Reporting to the Lord, no we can’t.”

The two blood fiends prostrated themselves on the ground and spoke carefully, afraid of angering the unknown existence in the stone house.

The human race has Heaven’s Blessed who are very strong. We don’t have the advantage for the time being.”

“Don’t worry, Lord. We’ve already started to nurture our own Heaven’s Blessed. We’ll definitely conquer the Western Zone.”

After the two blood fiends finished speaking, they prostrated themselves on the ground and did not dare to move.

The stone house was silent for a long time before murmurs could be heard.

“Human?”

A lowly race with weak bodies and short lifespans actually managed to become stronger?”

The existence in the stone house seemed surprised by the rise of the human race.

“My Lord, the human race is now the overlord race of the nine zones,” one of the blood fiends said.

There was no sound coming from the stone house.

After a long while, the existence said, “Even if we can’t take over the Western Zone, we have to protect the Northern Zone.”

“Yes, my Lord!”

The two blood fiends heaved a sigh of relief. The expert did not blame them for their incompetence.

“The nine zones are about to change. If you do well, yours will be the next overlord race.”

A wisp of the grayish-black aura floated out of the stone house and formed a mysterious rune, imprinting itself on the foreheads of the two blood fiends.

“Cultivate this technique well.”

“Yes, my Lord!”

The two blood fiends were extremely excited.

A technique bestowed by an expert would definitely be incomparably powerful!

“Don’t advance rashly, wait for the right time.”

The voice came from the stone house, and then it went silent.

“Yes, my Lord,” the two blood fiends replied.

They knelt on the ground for a long time. When no other instructions were forthcoming, the two blood fiends then stood up, bowed, and left the mysterious ancient battlefield.

Western Zone.

Ding Yue and Xiao Liang were sitting together.

“There’s something wrong with the blood fiend race of the Western Zone,” Xiao Liang said in a deep voice.

Such a transformation should not have happened to the blood fiend race.

“Could it be that the first blood fiend race to descend upon the nine zones is special?”

Ding Yue speculated with a frown.

“Maybe.”

Xiao Liang was not sure.

Then, the two of them began to discuss their next course of action.

“Although the situation has stabilized, we have no way of taking back the Northern Region. On the other hand, the Southern Region and Eastern Region still have some pockets of human resistance. Perhaps we can start there,” Xiao Liang suggested.

“Let’s go to the Southern Region. We will launch a counterattack there,” Ding Yue thought for a moment and said.

The Western Zone was a little special as it was under the control of the Heavenly Dao laws. If they could take back the Southern Region, they could connect it to the Western Region.

“Tell Yu Shu and the rest to guard the Central Region. We will lead a group of people to try and retake the Southern Region.”

The Southern Region had just fallen, and most of the humans had evacuated.

Furthermore, it was a good distance away from the blood fiend race’s headquarters in the Northern Region. Therefore, the blood-colored spiritual energy here was still rathern thin.

Most of the blood fiend race’s forces were tied down at the Central Region, so there was definitely an opportunity to retake the Southern Region.

However, whether or not they could hold onto it was another question altogether.

What Ding Yue and Xiao Liang wanted to achieve was to allow the Heavenly Dao laws to infiltrate the Southern Region. As long as that objective was achieved, their plan would be considered a success.

Furthermore, taking back the Southern Region, even for a short period of time, had its benefits.

The Southern Region had fallen too quickly and most of the resources had not been transferred yet. They could take the opportunity to transfer all of the remaining resources there to the Central Region.

After the two finished their discussion, they began to execute their plan.

Ding Yue and Xiao Liang set out from the Central Region. The Heavenly Dao seals absorbed some of the Heavenly Dao laws’ powers to a.s.sist them.

The counterattack went smoothly.

There were not many blood fiends left behind in the Southern Region, so whatever was remaining there were quickly killed. At the same time, the Heavenly Dao laws spread into the Southern Region through the Heavenly Dao seal.
