Chapter 488: Chapter 407: The New Mankind, Harbinger of Destruction

"Hmm?”

Distracted, Su Heng looked up sowhat blankly.

But after seeing Nangong Yue’s trembling figure, Su Heng figured that it was unlikely for him to bother him for no reason.

After finishing the jerky he was holding, Su Heng nodded and said, “Bring that thing up here.”

Describing it as “that thing” was indeed sowhat inaccurate.

Following Nangong Yue’s clap of the hands.

...

Escorted by two Dragon Guards, a group of oddly-shaped creatures appeared before Su Heng.

They had dark red skin, so grew sharp horns on their foreheads, their fingers were broad with coarse joints, and aside from that, their facial features were mostly similar to regular humans.

At a glance, these creatures seed fiercely nacing. But upon seeing Su Heng, they were all scared witless. Even the bravest warriors among this group didn’t dare to look up at Su Heng’s face, all of them kneeling on the ground, trembling.

The leader seed to want to say so words of greeting, but his teeth couldn’t stop shivering, so he had no choice but to lay his head on the ground and await his fate.

"What is this?” Su Heng scratched his chin, his face showing an expression of great interest.

After a cursory glance.

These monsters had the aura of demons but their body structures were similar to humans.

He had a rough idea in his mind, and a few words from Nangong Yue confird that Su Heng’s guess was not wrong.

"They are humans,” Nangong Yue said. “However, due to living in the Blood Realm for a long ti, they were influenced by the Chaotic Power in the Subspace, causing them to mutate and turn into this odd appearance.”

"Is this a common occurrence?”

"Not at all,” Nangong Yue hurriedly said. “Under normal circumstances, only Earth Immortal Realm cultivators can exist in the Eternal Heaven for long. Ordinary people exposed to the radiation of Eternal Heaven either die or mutate into monsters.

It’s very rare for them to still retain so level of reason, as in their case. I have read about so similar records in ancient texts, but this is the first ti I’ve seen it for myself.”

Su Heng nodded, his gaze softening sowhat, “Life truly is tenacious.”

"How did they end up in the Blood Realm?” Su Heng asked again.

Nangong Yue replied, “So Demon Gods in the Blood Realm would launch attacks, and the ancestors of these humans were brought back as spoils of war. Initially, they were rely used as casting materials or captive food. But as ti passed, so of them slowly mutated, and even without the protection of the Demon Gods, they managed to survive in the wilderness.”

"They ca to voluntarily, hoping to pledge allegiance under your command,” Nangong Yue said in a low voice.

"Is that so?”

Su Heng smiled, his gaze landing on the leader.

He was clad in a layer of simple leather armor, a patch of gray-white beard on his chin, his face weathered, clearly the leader of this group.

"What’s your na?” Su Heng asked.

"Re-reporting to the lord… My na is Roy,” the leader stuttered in reply.

When he spoke, Su Heng noticed that his teeth were blood-colored.

"Reorganize the human tribe and henceforth call it the Blood Teeth Tribe,” Su Heng said. “From now on, you are under my command. I don’t keep idlers; go find Zhao Zongwu, he will assign you work.” ŗáNố𐌱Ё𝐒

"Thank you, lord, for granting us a na,” Roy imdiately said with excited gratitude.

"Go,” Su Heng waved his hand.

After the Dragon Guards led away the newly reborn Blood Teeth Tribe, Su Heng thought for a mont and then called out to Nangong Yue, who was also preparing to take her leave.

"My lord?” Nangong Yue looked puzzled.

Su Heng said, “Rember to remind Zhao Zongwu to arrange so easy and safe tasks for them. These people, I have other uses for them.”

"Understood,” Nangong Yue’s heart chilled, and she didn’t ask further.

Once Nangong Yue had left.

Staring at the crackling campfire in front of him, Su Heng’s gaze beca vacant as he fell into deep thought.

Keeping these mutants was not out of compassion but for another reason.

He had just taken a walk around the border of the Blood Realm and Skull Plain, and although it wasn’t evident, the expansion of the Mythical Battlefield was still continuing.

From the information gathered, combined with a previous conversation with Ming Daoist, it was almost certain that this change wasn’t an isolated case, but rather all Mythical Battlefields were in this trend.

Ultimately.

It was because the power in the Eternal Heaven now exceeded that of the material world.

The forr was continuously expanding outward, and the Great Zhou Dynasty… the world that Su Heng was currently in, was located at the frontline of expansion.

In the worst possible scenario.

The entire world would be swallowed by the Eternal Heaven, and ordinary mortals couldn’t survive in the Eternal Heaven.

One could imagine that if such a thing truly happened, it would inevitably be a disastrous end for all living beings. Although it might feel like a distant issue, such a trend already existed.

Su Heng was always bold and straightforward, never choosing to deceive himself.

Since such a possibility existed, he needed to be prepared to face it. The mutants he had just seen might provide so inspiration.

But these matters were for later.

The top priority is to first take care of the trouble at hand.

…

…

…

Tong Shan Great Saint was bending over to pick up a broken Long Spear from the battlefield.

He gently patted the blade of the Long Spear, and the mud sticking to it imdiately fell off, revealing a cold glint on the bloodstained edge.

A look of joy instantly spread across the face of Tong Shan Great Saint.

Collecting weapons.

That was one of the few hobbies of Tong Shan Great Saint.

On one hand, he embodied the essence of copper and iron, drawing the essence from these Divine Weapons to cultivate his Origin and enhance his Cultivation.

On the other hand, in the long life of a Demon, to control the inherent desire for slaughter and to project one’s emotions outward was indeed a good thod.

By the ti he put the weapon into his own storage space, he heard Su Heng’s voice.

"Co see .” Su Heng’s voice was brief and to the point.

Tong Shan Great Saint looked up sowhat blankly.

He looked around.

As Su Heng had not concealed his aura, it didn’t take long to locate his position.

Without delay, Tong Shan Great Saint hurried towards the location.

It was a blood-colored wasteland.

At this mont, Su Heng stood atop a massive monster’s decayed skeleton, with two towering figures standing beside it: Huang i and Vajra Sect’s Zhao Sheng.

Both nodded at Tong Shan Great Saint, who then knelt halfway to the ground and said with a deep voice, “My Lord.”

Su Heng hopped down lightly from the huge skeleton.

"Stand up.”

Tong Shan Great Saint got to his feet and asked, “You wanted to see ?”

Su Heng said, “I have heard that there are three Pillar Gods on the southern continent of the Blood Realm, naly the Lord of Prison Fire, Salos, Shadow Demon God Nenos, and the last, High Wall Demon God Monkville.”

"Of the three Pillar Gods, the first two have already perished by my hand in the initial war.”

"Now, only the last one remains… I wish to obtain so relevant information from you, and if possible, I’d like to resolve this matter before my upcoming retreat.”

Retreat… Tong Shan Great Saint had a simple exterior, but in reality, he was quite astute.

What he used to enjoy most was being ambushed by others while pretending to be oblivious. Then, when his opponent thought they had the upper hand, he would break through the siege with his astonishing defensive power. In the end, he would free the self-inflicted fool with a slap as they despaired, begged, and swore curses.

Su Heng spoke calmly.

Yet, Tong Shan Great Saint sensed a feeling of urgency.

What kind of opponent was it that even the powerful Su Heng wasn’t completely confident in dealing with, needing to seize ti to better himself.

"Has sothing recent occurred?” Tong Shan Great Saint couldn’t help but ask with curiosity.

After asking this.

He imdiately regretted a bit, thinking it overstepping.

However, it seed Su Heng didn’t dwell on it, even if these subordinates were not extrely loyal, Su Heng did not hide his thoughts on the matter from them.

"Although it’s happening in the Blood Realm, you must have heard about the events that recently took place in Changyue Grassland State,” Su Heng said.

"Of course.” Tong Shan Great Saint nodded.

Huang i and Zhao Sheng also looked over, showing an interested expression on their faces.

"The rumors are more or less accurate. In Grassland State, I have clashed with a Destruction Power,” Su Heng said calmly, while the rest of the three people’s faces showed shock, involuntarily taking a deep breath.

Their current realms were far from even the Heavenly Awakening, let alone a Destruction Great Power Level; they were separated by two or three significant ranks.

"But there’s another matter unknown to most, which happened not long ago,” Su Heng said, “I encountered a ritual set up by another Destruction Power in Beie State.”

"These days, Destruction Great Power Level beings, who were previously isolated, are now descending to the lower worlds, plus the various ssages coming out of Central State lately… Haha,” Su Heng chuckled coldly, his expression turning dangerous.

Whoosh!

The cold wind blew, and skeleton heads tumbled across the plain like tumbleweed.

Huang i and Zhao Sheng both froze for a mont before slowly realizing the implications behind this event.

"Are you suggesting that the Mythical Battlefield in Central State might be breached? And now, those Great Powers have started to regard the Dynasties as their dining tables, carving up their fish and at.” Thinking about such a devastating scene that could happen soon, even Huang i, a forr Demon Path chieftain, couldn’t help but swallow hard, his face turning pale.

"Although it can’t be confird, the possibility of such an event is very high,” Su Heng said, “In the worst-case scenario, we must be prepared to face multiple Destruction Great Power Level beings at the sa ti.”

Amidst the knife-like cold wind, Su Heng’s voice drifted slowly.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the three turned solemn.
