The Longevity Ji Family, the Longevity Mu Family, the Jinghong Divine Dynasty, and other Holy Lands and Great Sects had hidden here long before the battle started.
Their plan was to sit back and watch the tigers fight, waiting for an opportunity to act.
If the Eternal Blood Prison proved weak, they would swiftly appear, strike the drowning dog, and eradicate it in one fell swoop.
Afterwards, they could find a suitable excuse to explain to the Frost Emperor.
However, if the people from Xuanshuang Grotto-Heaven suffered heavy losses, and Su Qingshuang clashed with the Quasi-Emperor in a battle where both would be injured or Su Qingshuang would fall from the Heavenly Emperor realm, they would strike immediately, landing a thunderous blow and taking a bite out of the Frost Emperor!
Once successful, all the divine treasures and spiritual plants accumulated by Xuanshuang Grotto-Heaven over the years would fall into their hands!
This was a daring scheme!
But also incredibly tempting!
Ji Cunye, Mu Nantian, the Emperor of Jinghong, and others had already anticipated that today's confrontation would be a brutal and bloody clash.
True to their prediction, one Saint Ancestor after another fell, and over twenty of the red-robed Saint Ancestors from the Eternal Blood Prison were also slain.
But what no one expected was that those dead red-robed figures would all return!
Their auras were not weakened in the slightest from the beginning, all in their prime state!
This was too terrifying, making everyone's scalp tingle!
"The methods of the Eternal Blood Prison are too bizarre!"
The sect leader of the Lian Shan Sect, Zhang Wanli, suddenly spoke, his tone quivering slightly.
The Emperor of Jinghong, the Sect Master of the Bawang Sect Su Kuangren, Mu Nantian, Ji Cunye, and others also showed expressions of fear, nodding silently.
"That skull can actually give birth to demonic Saint Ancestors!"
"If my guess is correct, those red-robed figures are not made of real flesh and blood!"
"They aren't living beings; they should be coagulated from demonic power, birthed through transformation!"
Ji Cunye's eyes glowed as he made this conjecture.
This conclusion instantly shocked everyone else!
To create eighty-one Saint Ancestor-level warriors from demonic means was beyond comprehension.
Those were Saint Ancestors, not figures molded from clay!
For ordinary people to achieve the status of a Saint Ancestor was extremely difficult.
Throughout history, how many geniuses had been blocked by this insurmountable barrier, unable to enter?
But here, the Eternal Blood Prison had bred so many powerful beings from just one demonic treasure!
How could this not make one's spine chill?!
"I finally understand why the Eternal Blood Prison has wreaked havoc everywhere, yet no one has ever seen their true faces!"
The Emperor of Jinghong picked up the conversation.
Under his reminder, everyone else suddenly understood.
In the past few months, the Eternal Blood Prison had committed boundless slaughter.
Powerful legacies like the Lingyu Holy Land and Tai Xuan Sect were destroyed by them!
Countless strong individuals from the Three Thousand Dao Domains had banded together to eradicate them, but every attempt ended in failure.
After each massacre, they set up blood formations, refined blood and souls, and then vanished into thin air, leaving no trace to follow.
No one knew where they went!
But now, seeing that skull glowing like a piece of jade, the Emperor of Jinghong and others felt an epiphany.
After refining blood and consuming souls, the Eternal Blood Prison must have absorbed all the fighters into that skull, retreating with ease!
This truth was finally coming to light!
One had to marvel at the cunning and mysterious ways of the demonic path!
What kind of heaven-defying person could forge such a demonic treasure?
Unimaginable!
"Master Ji, fortunately, I listened to you, otherwise..."
At this moment, Mu Nantian suddenly turned his head stiffly, looking at Ji Cunye.
"Yeah!"
"If it weren't for Master Ji, we would have been in big trouble!"
Zhang Wanli, Su Kuangren, and others also spoke one after another.
They were all filled with lingering fear.
If not for Ji Cunye persuading them to join in this earth-shaking plan, they would now be on the battlefield, fighting the Eternal Blood Prison.
But it was easy to imagine that the situation wouldn't be much better than it currently was.
The Eternal Blood Prison was too strong!
As the battle continued, there would inevitably be more fallen strong individuals.
Meanwhile, the enemies would rise from ashes, their strength undiminished!
This was undoubtedly an unimaginable ordeal!
No one could guarantee they would survive to the end.
But fortunately!
They listened to Ji Cunye and did not act!
This decision was undoubtedly the right one, something to celebrate!
Hearing everyone's flattery, Ji Cunye's mouth curled into a cold smile.
"When has Ji ever harmed any of you?"
He laughed sinisterly, feeling a weight lifted off his heart.
"Kehehehe... Jiang Wu Xu, Jian Lingtian, Emperor Batian, He Mengchang..."
"They're in for big trouble now!"
A Saint Ancestor from the Ji Family said with a cold laugh.
"At this rate, it won't be long before we have the final verdict!"
"Let's prepare!"
"Once Su Qingshuang forcibly intervenes and both she and that silver-robed Quasi-Emperor from the Eternal Blood Prison are gravely injured..."
"Then, it will be our turn for a grand entrance, delivering a killing blow with the force of thunder!"
"All the divine treasures and spiritual plants of Xuanshuang Grotto-Heaven will be ours!"
The Emperor of Jinghong spoke with a dark tone.
"Let's keep watching the show!"
Ji Cunye said.
His whole body began to brew with surging blood, his aura rising silently, he was extremely excited, filled with anticipation.
Mu Nantian and others felt the same!
Everything was unfolding more smoothly than they had anticipated.
They could already imagine the scene where Su Qingshuang would forcibly attack, clashing with the Quasi-Emperor, and then her cultivation would plummet!
At this moment, everyone's thoughts became active once more, their eyes fixed intently on the direction of Xuanshuang Grotto-Heaven.
In the distance, Jiang Wu Xu, Jian Lingtian, He Mengchang, and others looked utterly shocked, mixed with great anger.
"Jiang Wu Xu, the show has just begun!"
Seeing the group's horrified expressions, the Demon Attendant laughed maniacally.
Then his expression changed, and he gave a stern command, his killing intent overflowing.
"Kill them!"
The eighty-one red-robed Saint Ancestors roared, launching another ferocious assault, surrounding Jiang Chu Feixian, Emperor Batian, He Mengchang, and others!
"Jiang Wu Xu, let me send you on your way first!"
"And then, I'll reunite Su Qingshuang and your soon-to-be-born child with you!"
"HAHAHA..."
The Demon Attendant laughed wildly.
Without any delay, he wielded his demonic sword and charged directly at Jiang Wu Xu!
"Sword Saint, destroy that demonic treasure!"
Jiang Wu Xu suddenly shouted.
He fought fiercely against the Demon Attendant while Emperor Batian and He Mengchang pushed their sacred artifacts to the limit, trying to break through the encirclement of many red-robed figures to aid him.
Upon hearing his words, Jian Lingtian did not hesitate at all!
That skull still floated in the void, emitting a light like that of a precious gem.
Jian Lingtian knew that destroying it would ensure that the eighty-one red-robed figures, once killed, could not revive!
With this in mind, Jian Lingtian let out a thunderous roar!
"Kill!"
The divine light from his imperial sword surged, like a star river unfolding, a rainbow crossing the sky!
In an instant, he cleaved one of the blood-robed figures in two, opening a breach.
Then, the brilliant sword light appeared again, slashing down fiercely at the skull!
