The curtain of blood pierced through the sky and the air was thick with evil.
A blood-colored cocoon hung in midair. It was strange and mysterious, as if it was nurturing a demon, sending chills down everyone's spine.
Even Ling Xian felt his scalp tingle.
Though he had fought against the demon many times, they were all projections. They didn't even have one ten-thousandth of the original's capabilities. A clone, no matter how weak it was, had at least 30 percent of the original's capabilities.
"That person said that the curtain of blood was created by the ancestor's consciousness. Consciousness alone is not enough to break it."
"This is enough to prove that the ancestor's capabilities are beyond the eighth level."
"It could be the ninth level, or it could be the tenth. No matter which one it is, it is not something I can defend against."
Ling Xian silently sighed, feeling somewhat bitter.
Everyone else felt the same way. All of them were feeling hopeless and their faces were full of disappointment.
They didn't want to sit around and wait for death. But the situation was clear. Even Ling Xian could not break the curtain of blood. Other than waiting, what else could they do?
"Could it be … that we can only wait for death?" someone asked in a trembling voice, forcing everyone to close their eyes in pain.
Nobody knew how powerful the ancestor was. But to be able to summon a demon from the eighth level, he must have surpassed the eighth level!
Therefore, why wouldn't everyone be hopeless?
"Aye, we have to use our last trump card."
The golden-robed elder sighed and looked at the four elders from the other clans, "Let's work together. Only then will we be able to condense a clone of our ancestor."
Hearing this, the elders fell into silence. It was obvious that they were hesitant.
At this, Ling Xian frowned and asked, "Senior, the clone you speak of … are you referring to the invincible God Emperor?"
"Aye, now that things have gotten to this point, I will no longer hide anything."
The elder in gold sighed. If this was anyone else asking, he would've ignored them. But Ling Xian, he had to answer.
Therefore, he told them about his trump card.
"As everyone knows, the ancestor of the God Emperor Clans is the invincible God Emperor."
"Before every God Emperor passes away, they leave behind a few drops of blood to protect their descendants."
"Every single drop of blood contains the God Emperor's consciousness. Through a secret technique, it can transform into a clone."
"This is the strongest foundation of the Divine Emperor Clan, and also their final trump card."
The golden-robed elder spoke, saying, "This blood is related to our clan's prosperity and decline. Unless absolutely necessary, we absolutely cannot use it."
Hearing this, Ling Xian was not surprised.
He had long expected that the Divine Emperor Family would have a trump card. After all, this was a family left behind by an invincible Divine Emperor. How could they not have a trump card?
"Since the True Blood can create the Emperor God's clone, then please make your move." Ling Xian's expression turned serious and his gaze was hopeful.
Everyone looked at the old man with hope in their eyes.
"Sigh, I wanted to use it too, but after so many years, there's only a single drop of Divine Emperor True Blood left in our tribe."
"If this drop of true blood can be used normally, then so be it. For the Black Tortoise Continent, my Imperial Yun Family is willing to sacrifice it."
"However, because too much time has passed, this drop of true blood no longer has much power. If I were to forcefully condense it, the chances of failure would be as high as 80%."
The golden-robed old man sighed helplessly.
This caused everyone to fall back into the abyss, and their hearts were filled with despair.
However, Ling Xian did not give up. He looked at the elder in a serious manner and said in a low voice, "There has to be a way, right?"
"That's true. The way lies with the other four Divine Emperor Clans."
The golden-robed old man shifted his gaze to the other old men and said, "Our Divine Emperor Clans are all in the same situation. I believe that you don't have much True Blood left."
"That's right. Just like your Imperial Yun Clan, we only have one drop of true blood left. We don't have much power left." The elders all sighed.
"So, let's work together." The golden-robed elder's expression was serious, "Only by combining all five drops of true blood can we successfully create the Emperor God's clone."
"You're right, but have you ever thought about how talented the Emperor is? How can his blood be combined with others? "
"That's right. Not to mention the fusion of five God Emperors, even two of them would be impossible."
"Since ancient times, the Emperors have never met each other. If five of them were to meet, I don't think I need to tell you what would happen."
The others sighed helplessly. It wasn't that they were hiding their true blood, it was that the consequences were far too terrifying. Once a war erupts, all their efforts would be wasted.
"I understand. But given the current situation, we have no other choice."
The golden-robed elder nodded, "Plus, I don't think a war will erupt."
"Why not?" An elder frowned.
"Because the Emperor God is noble. For the Black Tortoise Continent, they are willing to sacrifice everything."
"The true blood has a spirit and has inherited the Emperor's thoughts. In other words, for the Black Tortoise Continent, they will let go of their desire to fight."
"Then, the true blood will combine and form the Emperor God's clone."
The golden-robed elder spoke in a low voice, full of certainty.
This silenced the elders. They were a little tempted.
The golden-robed elder was right. The true blood has all the thoughts of the Emperor God. The Emperor God is selfless. At the very least, in the face of the big picture, they will let go of their pride and choose to combine.
However, they didn't dare to gamble. After all, this was the last trump card of the Emperor God Clan and it determines the clan's future.
"Seniors, please listen to me."
Ling Xian suddenly spoke. Everyone's expression turned serious and they didn't dare to disobey.
Though they were all arrogant, before Ling Xian, they had to let go of their pride.
It wasn't just because of his terrifying capabilities, it was also because of his achievements.
"I understand what you are thinking. You are afraid of wasting the true blood and walking down the path of decline."
"But the situation before us allows no hesitation. Once the clone descends, the Black Tortoise Continent will for sure fall."
"At that time, even if the Divine Emperor Clans possess the Divine Emperor's True Blood, they will not be able to escape the fate of destruction."
"So, we can only gamble. We have to gamble."
Ling Xian's voice was loud and clear.
"We all understand that, but …" An elder in black bitterly smiled.
"No buts!"
Ling Xian interrupted, "The situation is critical and we cannot afford to waste any more time. Seniors, please make a decision quickly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone cheered in unison.
"Seniors, please make a decision quickly!"
Hearing this, everyone bitterly smiled. Exchanging glances, they saw the helplessness and determination in each other's eyes.
"Oh well, let's gamble. If we win, the Emperor God Clan will continue to be glorious. If we lose, we will be buried with the continent!"
The elder in black shouted. Waving his hand, a jade bottle appeared.
Next, a drop of red blood broke out of the bottle. Powerful vibrations swept through the nine heavens in an instant.
"Haha, to be able to see the Emperor God's True Blood merge, I have no regrets!"
The golden-robed elder laughed out loud. A silver drop of blood pierced through the sky, cracked open the universe, and shook the Heaven and Earth.
The remaining three all took out their true blood. At once, the entire Black Tortoise Continent was shaking.
This was the power of the Emperor God. Even if it was just a drop of blood, even if there was not much energy left, it still represented powerfulness!
