The canyon wasn't far from the Seven Absolutes Immortal City. It was only a hundred miles away. Luo Zheng only needed one step to teleport there.
Out of caution, Luo Zheng didn't do so.
After returning from the Forbidden Land of God Refinement, Luo Zheng's strength had improved greatly, but it didn't mean that he could face the Sacred Race's unscrupulous rampage.
The closer he got to the Sacred Race, the more cautious Luo Zheng became. He even lowered his speed and moved stealthily.
Along the way, Luo Zheng also discovered several groups of mortals. The number of mortals ranged from 100,000 to 500,000, and they were all escorted by Saint Race martial artists. It was clear that they were being sent to the Seven Absolute Immortal City.
Luo Zheng didn't rescue them. They were too close to the Seven Absolutes Immortal City. The fluctuations caused by the battle could easily be detected by the experts in the city.
Moreover, the root of the problem was in the Seven Absolutes Immortal City. As long as he destroyed the Seven Absolutes Immortal City and stopped them from using the Blood Curse Art, he believed that the Sacred Race wouldn't wantonly slaughter mortals. After all, the strength of these mortals was too weak. Just like how humans had no interest in slaughtering ants, the Sacred Race wouldn't kill these mortals out of boredom.
Soon, a dazzling golden main city appeared in Luo Zheng's field of vision. The Seven Absolutes Immortal City was the largest immortal city in the Seven Absolutes Domain.
Looking from afar, he saw a huge blood-red disc floating above the Seven Absolutes Immortal City. The blood-red disc almost covered the entire main city. Countless tiny blood-red runes were constantly rolling on the disc.
There were four blood pillars that extended upwards from the Seven Ultimate Immortal City and were connected to the blood-red disc. The blood-red disc seemed to be continuously absorbing the crimson blood through the four blood pillars. Then, it scattered the blood into the sky, forming blood-red clouds that spread throughout the Seven Ultimate Immortal City.
The closer he got to the Seven Absolutes Immortal City, the stronger the smell of blood became. It was as if there was a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood in front of him. The once bustling immortal city had now turned into a genuine Asura purgatory.
After sizing them up for a moment, Luo Zheng silently floated towards the side, and then the killing intent in his eyes vanished without a trace. At the same time, his Dantian was completely sealed up, causing him to instantly change his appearance and transform into a mortal with a declining aura. He silently descended at the center of the road, and this was the path that one had to pass to enter the Seven Absolutes Immortal City.
Not long after that, a group of mortals slowly arrived at the Seven Ultimate Immortal City. There were a few Saint warriors escorting these mortals in midair. The closer they got to the Seven Ultimate Immortal City, the more impatient these Divine Core warriors became.
"Move faster!"
"It took us nine days to travel three hundred li! It's too slow! "
The saint martial artist roared in the air. He raised the whip in his hand and ruthlessly lashed out. The sound of the whip was ear-piercing, and some mortals couldn't help but cover their ears.
These mortals were already completely exhausted from their journey, and no matter how fast they traveled, they couldn't go any faster. However, they still squeezed out a sliver of energy from all over their bodies and walked forward mechanically.
At this time, the leading Saint Race martial artist discovered Luo Zheng lying on the ground.
"Why is there one that slipped through the net?!"
After saying that, the Saint Race martial artist abruptly lashed out with the whip in his hand toward Luo Zheng.
Luo Zheng's eyes flickered. He wasn't afraid of the whip, as even if he just lay there and let the martial artist whip him, he wouldn't be harmed at all. However, if the whip hit him, he would be exposed.
Slap!
In the end, the whip didn't hit Luo Zheng's body. Instead, it hit the side of Luo Zheng's body, causing a huge hole to appear on the ground.
"You, follow the group!" The Saint Race martial artist said to Luo Zheng with a cold voice.
The goal of the Saint Race was to obtain human blood. If the human race cooperated with them and rushed to the Seven Absolutes Immortal City at the fastest speed, they wouldn't be willing to kill indiscriminately. Now that they were already quite close to the Seven Absolutes Immortal City, Luo Zheng was just a stray sheep in the eyes of the Saint Race martial artist. He casually chased Luo Zheng into the crowd.
The aura on Luo Zheng's face was extremely weak. His entire body was covered in mud, and he had concealed his cultivation base and soul. At this moment, he naturally put on a good show, rolling and crawling as he blended into the group.
The surrounding mortals were stupefied. They didn't even have the interest to look at Luo Zheng. They were like walking corpses. They only knew that they had to move forward, but they didn't know where to go or what their fate would be.
This place was only 20 some miles away from the Seven Absolutes Immortal City. Even though it was right in front of their eyes, these exhausted mortals still spent half a day to arrive at the gates of the Seven Absolutes Immortal City.
On top of the grand walls of the Seven Absolutes Immortal City, there was a row of Saint Race martial artists. Most of them were Divine Sea realm martial artists, and a small number of them were Divine Reaching realm martial artists. They were all gathered at the top of the city walls, chatting.
"Did you hear? It seems that the Blue Squad was killed by someone?"
"The seven people in that squad were all Divine Transformation realm elites. Someone was actually able to kill them without them knowing. This person's strength is at least at the World Lord realm!"
"World Lord? Did you know that the Blue Squad killed a World Lord before? "
"If it isn't a World Lord, then could it be an Empyrean? Would an Empyrean dare to come to the Seven Absolutes World? "
"That's the strange part! There aren't many Empyreans in the Great Expansion Universe. They wouldn't dare to act rashly. If an Empyrean were to die, that would be a great loss to humanity. How could they possibly send an Empyrean to attack a small peripheral great world? "
"This matter is indeed strange …"
Luo Zheng's eyes and ears were sharp. Although these martial artists were far away from him, he still heard every word they said.
When he entered the city gates with the mortals, these martial artists released their sense and swept it over everyone's heads.
Although the Blood Curse Art could occupy a great world once and for all, it was extremely troublesome to use. Moreover, the array formations that the Blood Curse Art laid down were extremely fragile. If there was even the slightest bit of carelessness, it would be destroyed and all previous efforts would be wasted.
When the saints used the Blood Curse Art in other great worlds, they had encountered this sort of situation before. The saints had learned their lesson and in order to prevent this from happening, they had become much stricter in the selection of mortals.
If one wanted to be sent into the blood pond for sacrifice, they would have to pass through three layers of screening. They would be screened once before entering the city gates, once more within the city, and once more when they approached the blood pond.
In this first round, the saint martial artists didn't discover anything strange.
After smoothly entering the Seven Supreme Immortal City, Luo Zheng continued to follow the mortals as they walked along the wide roads of the city.
After the Seven Supreme Immortal City was occupied by the saints, all of the martial artists in the city had been slaughtered. The once bustling streets were now empty without a single person to be seen. As the smell of blood became increasingly thick, it was like a ghost city with a horrifying atmosphere. Even the saint martial artists felt uncomfortable here.
In order to use the Blood Curse Art, the saints had laid down four massive blood ponds within the Seven Supreme Immortal City. Each blood pond was able to hold hundreds of thousands of people, just like a small lake. In the south of the city, six Divine Transformation realm martial artists appeared on the main road leading to the blood ponds.
These Divine Transformation realm martial artists had cold and gloomy expressions. Their auras were powerful, but compared to the saint martial artists at the city gates, they were even more vigilant.
Powerful senses constantly swept over everyone's heads. One of these senses even stopped above Luo Zheng's head.
Luo Zheng swayed as he walked forwards, as if he would fall to the ground at any moment.
The Divine Transformation realm martial artist looked at Luo Zheng. As he saw Luo Zheng's filthy appearance, he looked away.
When a higher boundary martial artist faced a lower boundary martial artist, they had an advantage to begin with. The Divine Transformation realm martial artist didn't discover any flaws. He only subconsciously felt that there was something different about Luo Zheng, but he wasn't able to pinpoint what it was.
After passing through the screening of these martial artists, Luo Zheng drew closer and closer to the blood ponds.
When the blood ponds appeared in front of everyone's eyes, there was an uproar in the crowd …
Although these mortals had rushed all the way here and were already exhausted, as they saw this hellish scene in front of them, they immediately sobered up.
All sorts of broken limbs floated in the blood ponds, bobbing up and down on the surface. The thick smell of blood wafted out from the blood ponds.
And to the side of the blood ponds, groups of mortals were lined up in neat rows. Then, they were herded into the blood ponds.
The moment these mortals jumped into the blood ponds, an invisible strength appeared in the air and twisted these mortals. Blood splashed out from their twisted bodies, creating a horrifying scene.
