From the distant depths of the Hu Clan territory, several breathtakingly beautiful figures stepped through the air, instantly dazzling the eyes of everyone present. Some carried an air of proud arrogance, others exuded graceful elegance, some appeared mature and noble, some refined and poised… Each possessed a distinct, captivating aura, their presence radiant and unmatched.
Yet they all shared one common trait: an otherworldly beauty so rare it might not appear once in ten thousand li. The moment they appeared, even the famously heaven-blessed beauties of the Hu Clan seemed to fade into the background.
In terms of appearance alone, among the hundreds of Hu Clan members on the battlefield, only Hu Qingwu and Kun Mingyue could stand shoulder to shoulder with them. Even the flower-like Hu Ngọc Nghiên appeared slightly inferior in presence and charm. These women radiated powerful auras. The instant they entered the fray, they stood out like cranes among chickens, unleashing terrifying battle intent.
"Eight Trigram Formation!"
With a coquettish shout, Hua Qingzhu's sleeves fluttered. On her snow-white right wrist, a cluster of tiny formation patterns resembling tattoos suddenly lit up with brilliant light. She waved her hand gently.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
With a casual flick of her hand, a formation was born.
Under the stunned gazes of everyone present, the Heaven-grade peak formation Eight Trigram Formation descended with a thunderous roar. It required no time to set up. In an instant, it enveloped nearly half the battlefield, trapping a large number of Hu Clan members and close to five hundred Blood Guards inside.
Hua Qingzhu's face was proud and confident. Her hands flowed with formation seals as the patterns rotated smoothly. The eight sub-formations within the Eight Trigram Formation erupted with power, forcibly ejecting all the Hu Clan members from its range while leaving only the Blood Emperor Clan forces trapped inside. With her current Seventh Grade Formation Master strength, Hua Qingzhu's control over formations had reached a state of perfect mastery. She could manipulate everything inside the formation according to her will—including who to trap and who to release…
The terror of the Formation Transformation Sacred Body was on full display. Hua Qingzhu could form a formation with a wave of her hand—a feat so insane that even Bai Wusheng, whose Formation Master cultivation far surpassed hers, could not replicate it.
Naturally, the sudden appearance of a grand formation descending from above was something the Blood Guards could never have imagined. Everything felt like a dream.
"You can all die now!"
Ignoring the shock of the crowd, Hua Qingzhu's lips curved into a faint smile. Her long hair danced in the wind as she took full control of the Eight Trigram Formation.
The Eight Trigram Formation was an ultimate killing formation composed of eight tightly linked sub-formations: Metal, Water, Wood, Fire, Earth, Ice, Wind, and Lightning. Each sub-formation represented a different type of devastating natural disaster. At this moment, all eight activated at once.
In an instant, heaven and earth trembled. The Eight Trigram Formation erupted with killing intent far beyond ordinary levels. Eight different catastrophes descended, aiming to completely annihilate nearly half of the Blood Guards on the battlefield.
The terror of a Formation Master lay in their ability to convert their basic spiritual power attributes into other attributes through formations. Just like how Hua Qingzhu only possessed a Wood Spirit Root, yet she could deploy the Eight Trigram Formation with eight different destructive spiritual power attributes.
"Not good! Stop her immediately! Kill the Formation Master and the grand formation will collapse on its own!"
A Blood General standing outside the formation roared with eyes nearly splitting open. He charged toward Hua Qingzhu with his Seventh Revolution Bloodfiend Corpse Puppet, spitting out a Blood Pearl from his mouth… intending to kill her on the spot.
"Blood Extraction Substitute Technique!"
The two Blood Generals who had been trapping a Hu Clan elder were also forced to stop. They executed high-level movement techniques and launched a full-powered assassination attempt on Hua Qingzhu. They understood just how terrifying a Formation Master could be on the battlefield.
Formation Masters were existences that could decisively influence the outcome of a war. The formations they set up—whether offensive or defensive—had wide-area effects. If a Formation Master on the enemy side was allowed to act freely, the Blood Emperor Clan might as well surrender without fighting.
Not to mention, this female Formation Master's methods were extremely诡异. The moment she appeared, she had already established the formation. They hadn't even seen the process of setting it up. That was why, at this moment, three Blood Generals along with their three Bloodfiend Corpse Puppets all targeted Hua Qingzhu at once, unleashing their strongest techniques right from the start, aiming to eliminate her as quickly as possible.
Seeing the enemy charging toward her with murderous intent, a trace of disdain flashed in Hua Qingzhu's jade-like eyes. Her red lips parted:
"Indestructible Barrier Formation!"
The moment she spoke, a tiny formation pattern tattoo on her jade shoulder suddenly lit up, then rapidly expanded into a rock-solid circular formation that enveloped her completely.
CLANG! CLANG! CLANG! CLANG!
Six terrifying attacks slammed down. The surrounding space shattered into fragments, revealing patches of pitch-black void. The power was earth-shaking, yet everything was completely blocked by the Indestructible Barrier Formation. Not even a single strand of Hua Qingzhu's hair was touched.
"How is this possible?"
The three Blood Generals' eyes nearly bulged from their sockets. Even the Blood Envoy hiding in the void and Niu Wu Ba watching secretly from afar cried out in shock.
What terrified them was not the impressive defensive power of the Indestructible Barrier Formation. After all, it was a Heaven-grade upper formation—its defensive capability was expected.
What truly shocked them was something else…
Anyone with basic knowledge understood that Formation Masters had one major, difficult-to-overcome weakness: the time required to set up formations was too long, giving enemies a window to attack during the process. Yet right now, no one had seen Hua Qingzhu set up any formation. Instead, the formations seemed to have already existed inside her body and simply emerged when needed. How could they believe this? How could they not be terrified?
"Absurd… this is utterly absurd!"
The Blood Generals roared with eyes nearly splitting apart. They tried to assassinate Hua Qingzhu, but layer after layer of formations blocked them. The woman continued to watch them with a calm, indifferent gaze. Clearly, no one had seen her set up any formation—yet the formations had formed. How was this possible?
"Illusion! This woman must be using illusions to deceive us!"
One Blood General believed everything was an illusion and attacked himself to snap out of it. Unfortunately, even after he tore a chunk of flesh from his own body, causing his face to twist in agony, everything unfolding before him remained real. This nightmare could not be awakened from.
This was the difference in knowledge. The cultivators of the Blood Realm were still too ignorant to recognize the power of the Formation Transformation Sacred Body—a physique ranked in the top 12 on the Great Body Ranking.
If someone like Lan Wu were here, they might have recognized it.
At this moment, Hua Qingzhu was essentially a mobile arsenal of formations. To defeat her… one would need strength overwhelming enough to crush all the formations she created, or exhaust all the spiritual power she used to maintain them. Otherwise, it was simply a waste of effort.
Everything happened in the blink of an eye. While the Blood Generals were powerless against Hua Qingzhu, the Eight Trigram Formation on the other side had fully activated.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA..."
Countless miserable, blood-curdling screams echoed from within the eight sub-formations. Nearly five hundred Blood Guards and their corresponding Bloodfiend Corpse Puppets struggled desperately against the layered natural disasters unleashed by the Eight Trigram Formation.
Unfortunately, the Blood Guards were only at the Void Refining Realm, while Hua Qingzhu was currently a Seventh Grade Formation Master with strength comparable to the Fusion Realm. How could they possibly resist the formations she created? In less than a few minutes, the Eight Trigram Formation fell silent once more before dissipating into the heavens and earth.
When everyone saw the scene inside, the entire battlefield fell deathly silent.
Only the sound of ragged, terrified breathing remained…
Nearly five hundred Blood Guards and an equal number of Bloodfiend Corpse Puppets—close to a thousand in total—were all dead…
Not a single trace of life remained. Some had been burned to ash, some blasted apart by lightning, some sliced into minced meat by the sharpness of metal attributes, and others frozen into ice blocks that then shattered.
Though the methods differed, the final result was the same—total annihilation…
The Hu Clan stared with wide eyes. The Kun Clan stared with wide eyes… The Blood Emperor Clan's eyes nearly popped from their sockets…
The entire U Origin Continent fell into silence…
It was almost impossible to imagine that a single woman could create such a scene, yet her proud and beautiful face showed not the slightest change.
"No… impossible…"
The three peak Fusion Realm Blood Generals who had been fighting Hu Qingwu and Kun Mingyue also fell into extreme shock… swallowing dryly…
"Haha, you slaughtered countless lives on Yuelong Star and refined their blood essence without batting an eye. Why are you so terrified by something so trivial now?" Kun Mingyue laughed loudly in mockery, her voice echoing across the battlefield.
The Blood Emperor Clan cultivators' eyes turned blood-red. They could slaughter the cultivators of Yuelong Star without mercy because they had never viewed them as their own kind. But now, witnessing their own kind being annihilated so swiftly, they suffered a severe psychological blow.
After all, it all came down to perspective… War had always been this cruel…
But everything was far from over. The nightmare for the Blood Emperor Clan had only just begun…
ROOOAR…
Following a heaven-shaking furious roar, the phantom of a colossal bear bound in chains rampaged onto the battlefield. Its body size even surpassed the Kun Clan whales that covered the sky. Its fists, like heavenly pillars, slammed down with savage force, surrounded by raging sandstorms. With just two punches… it crushed a Seventh Revolution mid-stage Bloodfiend Corpse Puppet into minced meat, completely ignoring its supposedly formidable defense.
"Ancient Bear Prison-Suppressing Earth?"
Upon seeing the terrifying bear, those with knowledge immediately recognized its identity—the strongest Earth-attribute异 beast on Yuelong Star. Where had it come from?
On the massive shoulder of the Ancient Bear Prison-Suppressing Earth, a white-robed beauty sat gracefully like a celestial maiden. Her face was as calm as an ancient well. A jade flute rested against her delicate lips, and each melodious note transformed into supportive power that flowed into the bear's body.
"Hundred Flowers Fairy?"
Since refining her异 Earth, Su Yan had developed her own unique combat style. The Ancient Bear handled the frontline slaughter, while she transformed herself into the perfect support role, continuously using her flute to bolster her allies with various attributes…
Wind attribute increased the Ancient Bear's speed…
Wood attribute enhanced its defense…
Earth attribute replenished its energy…
The combination of one person and one bear instantly dominated the battlefield. Everywhere they went, Blood Guards and Blood Generals were completely powerless to resist—they could only be punched or forced to flee.
But fleeing was not an option. When the Ancient Bear ripped off the Black Sand Chains from its body and hurled them with full force, the black chains pierced through space, binding a Blood General who had just tried to escape, then crushing him into minced meat…
"When did the Hundred Flowers Fairy become so ruthless in battle?"
The spectators looked at each other in confusion, as if seeing Su Yan for the first time…
"Our Harem interfering in the affairs of U Origin Continent—are you not afraid we will suddenly attack Peaceful Peace City?"
A peak Fusion Realm Blood General broke away from his fight with Qingwu and Mingyue and roared toward the battlefield, his voice like a vengeful ghost.
PUFF…
Before he could finish speaking, his head was severed from his body in a flash. A column of blood shot into the sky. An invisible sword had struck. But it didn't stop there. As if beheading wasn't enough, another sword—cold as profound ice—pierced through the Blood General's chest, grinding his body into ice shards.
Mu Ziyin and Bing Lanxi calmly stroked the blades of their swords. The Illusory Shadow Sword and Silent Falling Sword remained completely clean of blood. It seemed that staining their blades with the blood of a Fusion Realm cultivator would be an insult.
"Attack Peaceful Peace City? You can certainly try!"
Ji Ya and Ji Bing did not join the slaughter. Instead, they continuously scanned the battlefield, using control techniques to restrain the Blood Emperor Clan forces and rescue the Hu Clan members who had previously been trapped in Blood Nets, ensuring none of them suffered any losses.
The moment the Harem joined the battlefield, the entire situation completely reversed. The women's terrifying strength erupted fully. The Blood Generals and Blood Guards were no match for them.
The Hu Clan members still hadn't recovered from the shock. The happiness had come too suddenly for them to believe.
Why had the Harem crossed such a vast distance to aid the Hu Clan? Shouldn't this have been the duty of the Giao Clan and the Heavenly Demon Academy?
Why did the Harem even know that the Hu Clan was under attack?
The Hu Clan women fell into a daze. Countless questions flooded their minds… But they understood one thing clearly: the Hu Clan had been saved.
Hu Ngọc Nghiên watched the scene, her heart nearly melting with emotion. Because she was the one who had informed the Harem for help.
That's right. The teleportation array set up inside Hu Qingwu's secret chamber had been arranged by Hua Qingzhu… Its exit connected directly to the rear courtyard of the Liu Clan estate.
When the Hu Clan was attacked, Hu Ngọc Nghiên had followed her master's instructions and secretly used the teleportation array to reach the Liu Clan, asking the Harem for assistance. What worried Hu Ngọc Nghiên was that the entire Harem had been in secluded cultivation. That was why she could only deliver the message to the little girl Liu Mengmeng, who was playing at the time, before hurriedly returning to the Hu Clan.
She never expected that in such a short time, the women of the Harem would emerge from seclusion and rush to aid the Hu Clan without a second word—far surpassing what the Heavenly Demon Academy and the Giao Clan had done.
How could Hu Ngọc Nghiên not be moved?
Although the Harem had not committed their full strength, what they had done was already more than enough.
As the battle gradually approached its conclusion, two righteous and heroic voices suddenly rang out across the sky:
"The Heavenly Demon Academy and the Giao Clan have come to aid the Hu Clan—let us exterminate the Blood Emperor Clan together!"
