Chapter 2303 Uncertain Blood Sea

Three years ago, the entire White Rainbow Region had been under the complete control of Copper Sparrow House.

Now, things had changed.

In a city, experts from the Holy Illumination Ancient Sect prowled the streets, clamoring to hunt down people from Copper Sparrow House hiding in the city, treating them as evil remnants.

It was easy to imagine that the current state of the Copper Sparrow House in the Ancient Nebula Underworld was far from optimistic.

Exchanging a glance, Lin Xun and Big Yellow quietly followed them.

The northeastern area of the city.

Dilapidated, ancient buildings stood in eerie silence.

In one of the courtyards, an area was shrouded in barely detectable restriction forces.

“Lord, even though the forces of our Copper Sparrow House have long gone into hiding in the Ancient Nebula Underworld, the Holy Illumination Ancient Sect and the Earth Treasury Realm clearly have no intention of letting us go. Over the past two years, all the forces that have been in hiding like us have suffered devastating annihilation once discovered!” A beautiful purple-clothed woman spoke, her voice laced with worry.

“I just received word that the Holy Illumination Ancient Sect has launched a large-scale roundup operation across the entire White Rainbow Region. I fear it won't be long before the enemy reaches our doorstop!”

Around her, many experts of the Copper Sparrow House stood silently, their expressions dark.

“Lord, why don’t we leave?” someone finally asked.

At those words, all eyes turned toward the same person.

He was a man with a stern countenance and a slender figure. His name was Xun You, a third-level quasi-Emperor.

He was once the lord of this city, wielding great power and commanding a far-reaching reputation.

Unfortunately, for the past two years, he had been like a rootless duckweed, drifting from place to place, hiding in the shadows, living each day in fear. He had not slept soundly nor eaten in peace for far too long.

“Run? The entire Ancient Nebula Underworld is now under the control of the Holy Illumination Ancient Sect and the Earth Treasury Realm. Even if we flee this city, where can we possibly escape?” Xun You’s voice was filled with bitterness and his brows were tightly furrowed.

Boom!

A thunderous explosion erupted outside the courtyard, shaking the area violently. The restriction forces shielding the area trembled under a devastating impact, rolling and distorting like ripples in a storm.

At the same time, a series of shouts and roars rang out, “Remnants of Copper Sparrow House, you are already surrounded!”

“Come out and face your death!”

“Charge!”

......

Xun You and the others turned ashen-faced, as if the sky had collapsed upon them. No one had expected disaster to descend upon them so soon.

Xun You’s gaze hardened and in that moment, he made a decision. Gritting his teeth, he declared resolutely, “In a while, I will carve a path for you all. When the chance comes—run!!”

His words ignited a surge of anger and grief.

Once, as part of the Copper Sparrow House, one of the Three Dark Giants, they had stood tall and proud. When had they ever suffered such humiliation?!

“Lord, we’ve had enough of living in fear. You were right. What’s the point of running? Even if we flee, where can we go? This time, we fight to the death!” The purple clothed woman’s eyes blazed, as if she was ready to stake everything.

The others nodded in unison.

There was no escape. If they had to die, they would go down fighting!

They were indeed sick of the restless days, the sleepless nights, and the constant need to hide!

Xun You’s fists clenched tightly, his chest flooded with grief and rage.

Boom!

The restriction arrays collapsed entirely.

Outside the courtyard, figures descended from all directions, their aura menacing and oppressive. They were disciples of the Holy Illumination Ancient Sect.

The moment they locked eyes on Xun You and the dozen cultivators of the Copper Sparrow House, their faces twisted with cruel amusement and sinister laughter echoed through the air.

They were like predators staring down a trapped prey.

The leader, a muscular man in a black robe, raised his hand in a commanding gesture and bellowed, “Remember, let no one escape! Whether man or woman, sever their heads and hang their bodies on the city gate as a warning to others!”

Xun You and the others trembled with fury. After beheading them, they want to display their corpses like trophies atop the city gate?

That was an utter humiliation to Copper Sparrow House!

“Kill!”

The Holy Illumination Ancient Sect experts roared in excitement, surging forward like a massive inescapable net, their figures blotting out the sky as they charged into the courtyard.

“Fight to the death!” Xun You’s eyes turned bloodshot as he let out a furious roar.

Just as they were about to engage in battle, a cold snort echoed through the air.

Then—

All the Holy Illumination Ancient Sect experts who had rushed in suddenly froze, then their bodies violently ruptured in midair, exploding into a rain of blood and flesh.

This painted a scarlet scene, both gruesome and poignant.

Xun You and the others stood frozen, with expressions stiff with disbelief.

One cold snort and nearly thirty disciples of the Holy Illumination Ancient Sect had been obliterated!

Regardless of their cultivation level, they had all died on the spot!

The blood-drenched scene made Xun You and the others feel as if they were dreaming; it was too surreal. Too unbelievable.

“Who are you?!”

The muscular black-robed leader roared in shock, “Who dares to oppose the Holy Illumination Ancient Sect? Do you not fear the consequences?”

He invoked the Holy Illumination Ancient Sect’s name as a threat, but in truth, his heart had already been consumed by fear

Then, a huge hand silently appeared and clamped around his throat. The hand’s owner was a tall and handsome figure clad in a moon-white robe. His bearing was as ethereal as an immortal.

It was Lin Xun.

Beside him, Big Yellow’s canine face twisted in irritation, its cold, grim eyes burning with fury. “Why didn’t you let me take action?” it growled.

Lin Xun sighed, “They’re just small fries. If I let you act, you wouldn’t have left a single one alive.”

Big Yellow was seething, or rather, ever since hearing about Zhong Qiu’s situation, the dog had been on the verge of completely losing control.

Under such circumstances, Lin Xun didn’t dare let it act recklessly.

As he spoke, Lin Xun had already begun the soul search.

At that moment, Xun You and the others snapped out of their daze and their eyes widened when they fell on Big Yellow. “You...you’re Roaring Battle Emperor!” Their voices trembled with excitement.

Roaring Battle Emperor!

It was better to provoke the King of Hell than Big Yellow!

In the Ancient Nebula Underworld of the past, Big Yellow’s name alone was enough to make even Emperors tremble in fear. He was known as the number one ruthless figure under the Lord of Copper Sparrow House!

“You all...have suffered greatly...” Seeing their excited expressions, Big Yellow felt a lump in its throat. When its master had reigned in the Ancient Nebula Underworld, when had Copper Sparrow House ever been bullied like this?

Never!

Xun You and the others were all overwhelmed with joy and excitement.

It really is him! Roaring Battle Emperor!

To them, this was like finding a pillar of unshakable support!

Big Yellow spoke in a deep and resounding voice, “Rest assured, as long as I am here I will never let the people of Copper Sparrow House suffer again!”

“Big Yellow, ask them everything about what happened to Copper Sparrow House in the past two years. The more details the better.”

By now, Lin Xun had already finished searching the soul of the black-robed muscular man, and in the next instant, the man’s body crumbled into a cloud of floating ashes.

“Alright.” Big Yellow nodded.

Minutes later, Lin Xun and Big Yellow had learned everything they needed to know.

Ever since Heavenly Emperor Shi and the Lord of Copper Sparrow House disappeared in Kunlun Dominion, the forces of the Holy Illumination Ancient Sect and Earth Treasury Realm launched a full-scale operation to eradicate Copper Sparrow House from the Ancient Nebula Underworld.

For the past two years, every territory and city once ruled by forces of Copper Sparrow House had been seized and plundered. The experts who had gone into hiding were relentlessly hunted down, and anyone discovered was ruthlessly slaughtered.

To this day, across the vast Ancient Nebula Underworld, whenever Copper Sparrow House was mentioned, it was associated with destruction, carnage, and massacre.

Copper Sparrow House had been completely erased from the ranks of the Three Dark Giants. And now, the Holy Illumination Ancient Sect and Earth Treasury Realm ruled unchallenged!

Upon learning this, Big Yellow trembled with rage and its eyes turned blood-red. Its teeth ground together so tightly they nearly cracked. Yet there was nowhere to vent its fury.

Lin Xun couldn’t help but frown. A long time ago, he had made enemies with both the Earth Treasury Realm and the Holy Illumination Ancient Sect. The grudge between them ran deep.

Now, after learning about what happened to Copper Sparrow House, his hatred and disgust for them only grew stronger.

“Big Yellow, let’s return to the Dark Lair first.” Finally, Lin Xun made a decision. He was worried that something might have happened in the Dark Lair.

Big Yellow clearly had thought of this and agreed without hesitation.

......

Xiheng Region, one of the thirty-three regions of the Ancient Nebula Underworld, was under the control of Copper Sparrow House, one of the Three Dark Giants.

At its borders, an endless blood-colored sea stretched across the land—Uncertain Blood Sea, also known as the Land of Absolute Death. Since ancient times, anyone who dared to enter this sea never returned, only meeting their demise!

It was said that in the depths of the Uncertain Blood Sea, an unimaginable horror lurked—Primordial Fiend Spirits. Rumors said they were monstrous entities born from the resentment of fallen Emperors. After countless years of transformation, those Primordial Fiend Spirits each become terrifying existences.

The Dark Lair, which was regarded as the origin of Fog Obscured Alms, was hidden in a secret realm deep within the Uncertain Blood Sea.

Two days later, Lin Xun and Big Yellow arrived at the edge of the Uncertain Blood Sea.

The sea churned, its surface rising and falling with scarlet waves, staining the sky a deep, blood-red hue, adding to the eerie and chilling atmosphere. The cold sea breeze howled through the air, laced with murderous intent.

The first time Lin Xun ventured into the Dark Lair, it was at this very spot that he met the drunkard, Heaven-Dooming Martial Emperor, and Big Yellow, who had arrived on a lone wooden boat.

“Huh?”

As soon as Lin Xun and Big Yellow set foot on the shores of the Uncertain Blood Sea, they immediately became aware of the countless formidable Emperor auras lying in ambush nearby!

These auras were spread across different areas, forming a vast suffocating net that completely sealed off the region.

Anyone who stepped foot here would be noticed instantly!

“It’s the old bastards from the Earth Treasury Realm and Holy Illumination Ancient Sect!” Big Yellow’s face darkened, an ominous premonition surging through its chest.

The enemies have already stationed themselves near the entrance to the Dark Lair. What kind of devastation has the Dark Lair suffered?

“The fact that they are stationed here proves that they haven’t completely conquered the Dark Lair yet. That in itself is good news,” Lin Xun said calmly.

“Roaring Battle Emperor?!”

“That vicious dog actually showed up!”

“And the one beside him...is that Lin Daoyuan?”

A wave of clamorous voices erupted, filled with shock and disbelief, and soon after, figures burst forth from the shadows, surging forward from all directions. There were dozens of them, all exuding a monstrous, oppressive aura.

The entire world trembled beneath their presence, and the air grew suffocatingly heavy.

The old Emperor monsters from the Earth Treasury Realm and the Holy Illumination Ancient Sect all narrowed their eyes, studying Lin Xun and Big Yellow with suspicion. None of them had expected that, given the current state of the world, those two would still have the courage to show up here!
