294 Desire
Under that crimson sky, appeared a man, looking to be in his 30s. He had long red hair while his eyes looked like blood moons.
His appearance could be said to be surprising as he had just called the ancestors young people while the Immortals called him little old man.
However, whatever he was, it didn’t matter. What mattered was the faint aura he emitted, something that seemed to be able to rip through souls without even touching them.
“He looks familiar,” said some of the very old Epoch Giants.
“Obviously familiar, he is the Hell Blood King. I thought he was dead, but he is still alive, and even broke through.”
“So that’s it…” Several Epoch Giants were still young when this continent was dominated by the Hell Blood King. At that time, he was only a Third Tier Epoch Giant, but he had the ability to kill other Third Tier Epoch Giants. Even the Moon Star King was lacking compared to him.
“Father.” Ancestor Ling and Ancestor Hong looked at the red-haired man with excited expressions.
In fact, they had gathered to await his arrival, even preparing a banquet that would invite people across the continent, but who would have thought that an unexpected event would throw things into chaos.
This naturally wasn’t a good thing considering that their current status had already changed to a new level. They could be considered as transcendent beings compared to the other Epoch Giants.
The Hell Blood King or now the Hell Blood Immortal did not respond to his sons’ calls, he only stared at the palace with eyes that were becoming colder and colder.
“Get out of there,” he said in a majestic voice, shaking the entire palace.
Inside, Luo Shen’s eyes became somewhat cold.
“This brat is courting death,” she said, taking a step out of the palace, followed by Qin Yuan and Jiang Xin.
Quickly, the Hell Blood Immortal saw them, he was shocked to find that there were actually three of them.
Because Luo Shen was the first to come out of the palace, so she was the first he looked at. With the perfect memory of an Immortal, he immediately recognized Luo Shen.
“D-Dragon Princess,” he said. His voice trembled slightly, indicating that he was in shock.
“You certainly have talent though it’s quite disappointing considering how much time it took you to become an Immortal,” said Luo Shen. “That’s indeed something difficult, so, are you sure you want to fight the three of us?”
Luo Shen’s question made the man look at Qin Yuan and Jiang Xin. The latter still calmed him down, but the former, his instincts told him of grave danger.
He subconsciously took a step back. Maybe he had just become an Immortal, but everyone at the high levels such as the Epoch Giants knew that Immortals had three stages.
Meanwhile, the Epoch Giants were stunned to hear about the Dragon Princess.
“This is a big shot among Immortals, daughter of the Holy Dragon,” they said.
“Yeah, it seems the Hell Blood Immortal is in serious trouble.”
“You look at the other two, they should also be Immortals. That man is even more powerful.”
“Well, I think I know that man’s aura.”
“Who?”
“That, he was the one who fought a while ago.”
“Damn, the Hell Blood Immortal will probably die if no one helps him.”
“…”

The Hell Blood Immortal was still frozen, his expression looking like he had to hold his breath that should have been gasping.
An Immortal might not have much to fear, but of course, they had worries, especially for a new Immortal who had yet to travel the universe to enjoy the thrill of boundless power.
“I’m sure he will answer if I attack,” Qin Yuan said as he watched the man freeze like a statue.
Infinite energy gathered in his fist, which directly increased the gravity in the city. The Epoch Giants found it difficult to even fly.
Then, he sent his fist towards the man. Of course, Qin Yuan still stood where he was, but a fist immediately appeared in front of the man.
Seeing an attack, he hastily mustered up his strength. A crimson colored fruit like a blood clot appeared in front of him, releasing a boundless aura.
He then created a wall of blood in front of and around him, something that didn’t seem like it would shatter even if the world exploded.
However, the moment the fist hit the wall of blood, it immediately trembled, cracked, and then scattered into tiny pieces.
Bang!
The fist landed on his face, pushing him through the air before being blown far away, crossing the sky in a split second and still not stopping until his body fell into one of the nine suns that circled the continent.
Bang!
The sun shook, causing waves of light to descend over the continents, burning many forests and drying up several seas.
“Too strong, this is just a casual attack,” said the Epoch Giants, sighing, lamenting the fact that they were so weak compared to an Immortal even though they were only one realm below.
On the other hand, Qin Yuan felt a bit disappointed that he did not obtain the mission of maiming or killing the Hell Blood Immortal, which was obviously because the man’s cultivation was one level below his.
Whoosh!
The Hell Blood Immortal jumped from within that sun. He was unharmed, but looked very disheveled, like a child who had just fallen in a drain.
There was anger on his face, but he forcibly concealed it.
From above, he stared at the continent, looking like he was contemplating what he should do.
That one punch had already shown the difference in their strength, if it went any further, he would definitely die.
Shua! Shua! Shua!
Suddenly, the Ling Clan and Hong Clan members disappeared then appeared behind the Hell Blood Immortal.
The latter took a deep breath and after that, he cupped his fists.
“This junior is wrong, I will definitely punish them,” he said, turning around and flying off into the distance.
Embarrassing of course, but he’s still realistic. It’s better to bow your head than to be crushed.
“Are you satisfied yet?” Luo Shen suddenly asked Qin Yuan.
Jiang Xin didn’t speak, but looked at him as if he was a stressed person.
Qin Yuan chuckled, he replied, “I think it would be more satisfying if I could get drunk with you two.”
“….”
Qin Yuan entered the palace again, which was now deserted because all the young people had gone out. They were summoned by their respective ancestors, told to return to the clan/sect for fear that they would accidentally cause trouble.
The Ling Clan and Hong Clan were lucky to have an Immortal ancestor, that couldn’t be said about them.
One mistake, they will die.
The inside of the palace was much wider than it looked.
There are many passageways, statues, and even paintings of various landscapes.
Qin Yuan scanned them one by one, looking to see if any of them were unique.
Unfortunately, all he saw were ordinary arts though they might be of great value.
As he approached the main hall, he smelled a really pleasant sweet fragrance, making his breath freshen up instantly.
He quickened his pace and his eyes immediately fell to the source of the scent.
There is a small pond, covered by glass.
There was only half of the pond remaining, it was a reddish-purple colored wine. The stark difference was the impression given off by the color of the wine, as if it didn’t belong to this world.
“So this is it.” Qin Yuan approached the wine pool. Luo Shen was not as interested as he was, but Jiang Xin looked very interested too.
Arriving in front of the pool, he found that the glass covering it could easily be shifted to the side.
“What happens if it’s not the Immortal who drinks it?” Qin Yuan asked before sliding the glass.
“Their souls will be destroyed,” Luo Shen replied. “Otherwise, this wine would have run out considering that many Giants of the Epoch were frustrated at not being able to become Immortals.”
“I see! But do you know where Asura got this wine?”
“I don’t know about that…”
“Well, since he left it here, it shouldn’t be a problem if I take them all?”
Luo Shen, “….”
“If you really want it, better take enough, don’t be a greedy dog.”
“Oh, so do you agree to drink it?”
“So you’re using words to toy with my mind.” Luo Shen looked displeased.
Qin Yuan just laughed, he then looked at Jiang Xin. “What do you think?” he asked.
The woman knitted her brows and asked back. “You can seal us in the Universe Fortress, but what about yourself?”
“I naturally have my own method, you see, with nine Fragments, I can have this kind of power, who has such a method?”
Qin Yuan’s words this time made Jiang Xin and Luo Shen look at each other, something that had never happened until now.
They are getting interested because sometimes they really need something to soothe their tired souls. The wine that could intoxicate them while their strength couldn’t stop it was definitely the best. However, they had one other worry, what if they did something crazier than invading the Heaven.
