Chapter 244: Chapter 242: Purple Crystal Exile, Crisis Descends



Blood God Cult!!!


When hearing this name, all the viewers of the live stream felt a simultaneous shock in their hearts, extremely terrified.


The Blood God Cult, more commonly known by the public as the Blood Demon Cult, is an exceptionally evil organization.


Initially, the doctrines of the Blood Demon Cult were even recognized by some of the populace.


The Blood Demon Cult believes that in this world, Spiritual Energy is king and bloodlines are noble. All the good resources are occupied by Bloodline Martial Artists or Bloodline Families. Even if ordinary people become Spiritualists, it is difficult for them to rise up. They are viewed merely as cannon fodder, consumables that can be discarded at will.


Even though the Empire developed Bloodline Potions that allow Spiritualists to evolve into Bloodline Martial Artists, first, one must earn enough military merit to qualify for exchanging Bloodline Potions, and going to the battlefield means a high casualty rate. Second, even if enough military merit points are accumulated, one can only exchange for Bloodline Potions below the Bronze Level, merely elevating from low-level cannon fodder to high-level cannon fodder.


Against this unfair phenomenon, the Blood Demon Cult was born.


They hunt innate Bloodline Martial Artists, extract their blood, and through secret methods, infuse it into ordinary people or ordinary Spiritualists, thereby creating new Bloodline Martial Artists.


Initially, some people applauded the Blood Demon Cult, viewing them as a heroic organization resisting the nobility.


However, as the Blood Demon Cult continued to expand and grow, the conduct of this organization became increasingly bizarre and violent.


They wiped out entire Bloodline Families at the slightest provocation, leaving none alive from elders to children.


Furthermore, in order to obtain enough test subjects, the Blood Demon Cult also began to target ordinary citizens and ordinary Spiritualists, creating various tragedies.


After that, the Blood Demon Cult became recognized as an evil organization, with everyone calling for its destruction.


But it is undeniable that many people were still attracted by the doctrines of the Blood Demon Cult and actively joined.


In the past century, the Blood Demon Cult has continuously expanded, and its level of danger and secrecy even surpasses that of the Evil God Cult.


No one could have imagined, during this highly anticipated Talent Battle, that a high-ranking member of the Blood Demon Cult would infiltrate, lurking for so long and ruthlessly killing a five-star genius with one strike.


......


"You scoundrel! Who let the Blood Demon Cult’s people in!"


In the Elder Council, Dongfang Ke roared angrily, his terrifying and robust aura sweeping like a hurricane, while all the elders in the room glared angrily, except for one whose face turned slightly pale.


"Elder Ke, the recommender for this person is Dongfang Kun, Elder Leng’s grandson."


The young man beside Dongfang Ke quickly checked the documents and spoke truthfully.


"Dongfang Leng!"


Dongfang Ke stared at Dongfang Leng, his gaze like a sharp sword piercing Dongfang Leng’s chest, causing sweat to instantly appear on his forehead.


Dongfang Leng knew he was in big trouble this time.


To secure benefits for his own branch, he formed an alliance with a faction, exchanging an A-level Examiner’s recommendation quota for an agency right of a trade route, considering it a sure-win deal.


The family awarded the A-level Examiner,


he profited from it.


The only trouble was he needed to navigate the relationships within the Elder Council and insert an A-level Examiner. However, the existing limit for A-level Examiners was five people, so squeezing one in was not strictly against the rules.


Originally, everything was progressing smoothly. Who would have thought the person he recommended was from the Blood Demon Cult.


The situation suddenly reversed.


The top geniuses from the whole Star Realm participated in the Talent Battle, and the Dongfang Family, due to poor gatekeeping, allowed the Blood Demon Cult to kill a five-star genius in front of trillions of people. This was a severe blow to the Dongfang Family’s reputation and prestige.


On a smaller scale, the Talent Battle encountered a serious breach, and the Dongfang Family was unable to guarantee the safety of the participants. Will the Bloodline Families still let their best descendants participate in the Talent Battle in the future?


If the participating talents’ strength declines, the status and excitement of the Talent Battle will no longer exist, and this enormous money-making tree will gradually withdraw from the stage.


On a deeper level, although prestige seems intangible, as the rulers of the Star Realm, once prestige is challenged, and the outside world no longer fears you, the ruling position will be shaken, leading to a series of adverse consequences.


This is absolutely intolerable for the Dongfang Family.


"Elder Ke, now is not the time to pursue accountability."


Another elder said, "We must kill the Blood Demon Cult members and halt the competition to prevent other geniuses from getting harmed as quickly as possible."


Dongfang Ke coldly replied:


"Dongfang Yue has already gone to do it."


......


As the most popular annual event in the whole Star Realm, the Dongfang Family equipped the Talent Battle with top-notch venues, costly Guardian Artifacts, and several Tier Seven, even Tier Eight experts to oversee the event.


When the Blood Demon Cult appeared, these experts immediately mobilized and headed to the scene.


However, the Blood Demon Cult had long prepared for this moment.


After killing Lei Yao, the "Ghost" Examiner took out a Purple Crystal Sphere from his pocket and crushed it fiercely.


The Purple Sphere shattered upon hearing the crack, and in the blink of an eye, countless purple rays poured down like a galaxy. Those light points did not fall but instead intertwined and spiraled in the sky as if they were alive, enveloping half the city in a strange purple glow.


"What is that!!!"


On the street, the geniuses looked up, utterly stunned at the scene unfolding before them.


Zhuge Yu held the Compass, feeling his heart sink heavily into an abyss.


His divination was indeed not wrong.


The most dangerous thing had still happened.


The purple light curtain was spreading in all directions at a terrifying speed, turning the clouds on its path into magnificent purple crystals. In just three breaths, half the city was covered by a reversed crystal wall. Sunlight passed through the purple barrier, casting dappled shadows, as if the entire world was immersed in a purple crystal solution.


Ka-ka-ka


Suddenly, a grinding gear noise came from the ground, and the entire piece of land enclosed by the crystal wall began to tremble, with countless buildings disintegrating into countless purple cubes amidst the shock.


Once the last pavement slab completed crystallization, the giant crystal imprisoning all geniuses suddenly burst into blinding spatial cracks — as if shattered glass were being crushed by an invisible giant hand, spearing through the void with purple brilliance, leaving behind an unfathomably deep spherical abyss.


Swoosh swoosh swoosh~~


Shortly after the purple crystal entered the void, several figures appeared instantly.


Dongfang Yue and several experts from the Dongfang Family looked at the slowly healing spatial rift, their faces turning dark.


"Purple Crystal Exile, it’s him, Sakre!"


The live broadcast signal was cut off, and the silhouettes of sixteen geniuses and the "Ghost" Examiner disappeared before the audience’s eyes.


......


Within the crystal wall


The "Ghost" withdrew his hand from Lei Yao’s chest, followed by a blood-colored Demon Vessel appearing in his palm. The vessel unleashed a powerful suction, and in two breaths, Lei Yao’s blood was drained dry, leaving only a desiccated corpse.


Thud


The body fell to the ground. The "Ghost" looked into the distance, a scarlet light flashing in his eyes.


"None of you will escape!"


In the distant shadowy corner, Qin Tian watched everything transpire, his expression becoming extremely solemn.
