Chapter 1648 - 1465: On the Eve of the Great Battle (Part 3)

Blood was suddenly scattered forward, and the ten candles in front of him instantly stretched into ten human figures, standing before Haotian.

Each figure radiated a sinister, terrifying power, far beyond what those four brothers from before could compare to.

"Young Master!" The ten of them shouted in unison, their momentum towering, like a professionally trained army—neat and disciplined.

"You ten were once generals of great renown in my Demon Clan, and you rendered glorious service in our conquest of the human lands. You should have been settled in the Demon Tomb and worshiped there, but now, in order to undo the seal on the Hidden Gate, I have no choice but to summon you again. I hope you will not hold this against me." Haotian spoke slowly, soothing the emotions of the ten before him.

"Young Master, being able to serve you is our honor. May we know what matter the Young Master requires of us?" The middle-aged man in front, clad in dark armor with a slight bulge on his crown, asked Haotian respectfully.

"Bring Ye Guichen back alive." Haotian's tone was icy as he spoke, anger burning.

"Oh? What kind of person could make the Young Master so enraged?" The middle-aged man was shocked at Haotian's expression.

Within the Demon Clan, Young Master Haotian was known as one immersed entirely in cultivation, hailed as a once-in-a-century cultivation prodigy. He had never interfered in clan affairs, and now the Demon Clan Saint had secretly dispatched Haotian to act—this alone had already puzzled the middle-aged man.

With the strength of the Demon Clan's Young Master, he should be an exalted controller within this Netherworld Mountain. For someone to be worthy of Young Master Haotian's personal attention naturally made the middle-aged man all the more curious.

"He is the Snake Woman's son." Hearing the man's question, Haotian spoke calmly.

"What!" The middle-aged man before him clearly hadn't expected this answer and couldn't help exclaiming.

"The Snake Woman's son? The Snake Woman actually dared to bear a child in secret?" The middle-aged man couldn't suppress his shock and continued to cry out.

You had to know that the Snake Woman was an incomparably sacred existence. Legend said that in ancient times, Nuwa herself was born of the Snake Woman, and so the Snake Woman had always been regarded as the Demon Clan's emissary walking the mortal world, holding an extremely lofty status among the demons.

Precisely because of this, a Snake Woman could only couple with the most noble of bloodlines. Otherwise it would be a desecration of the divine blood. And now the Snake Woman had secretly joined with a human—how could the middle-aged man not be utterly stunned?

"Bring him back to me. I'm going to use his blood to offer sacrifice to the countless demon lives that have perished." Haotian said coldly.

"Yes!" Seeing Haotian's expression, the middle-aged man did not linger. He led the nine figures behind him and swept out of Netherworld Mountain.

"You two can come out now." After the middle-aged man left, two figures slowly emerged from the side.

They were Ghost Lady and Corpse Master.

"Your subordinates kneel to see the Young Master."

The two, upon seeing Haotian, knelt straight down, their expressions humble, like children who had done something wrong, heads lowered, not daring to speak.

"Have you found the Snake Woman's incarnations?" Haotian stood to the side, looking down at the two from above.

Hearing Haotian's words, the two slowly lifted their heads, flattery spreading across their faces.

"Reporting to the Young Master, this old body went through untold hardships and finally managed to find two more incarnations of the Snake Woman." Ghost Lady spoke in her raspy voice, back hunched.

"Bring them up to me." Ghost Lady shouted toward the rear.

Very soon, two people, trussed up tightly with rope, were thrown down before Haotian.

"Not bad." Haotian glanced at the two before him. The anger on his face gradually faded, replaced bit by bit with a look of satisfaction.

"Whoosh, whoosh."

Two drops of blood flicked from Haotian's hand, landing directly in the hands of Ghost Lady and Corpse King.

The two looked at the blood as if it were a treasure, carefully cupping it with both hands, guarding it with utmost care.

"Many thanks, Young Master, many thanks, Young Master!"

Ghost Lady and Corpse King swallowed the blood in one gulp, kneeling and knocking their heads against the ground to Haotian over and over.

"With my essence blood, your cultivation can advance another step. I believe breaking through to the Divinity Transformation Realm is only a matter of time." Haotian said, his expression cold.

A golden light flashed in Ghost Lady's eyes. Once she broke through to the Divinity Transformation Realm, not only would her soul power become even more formidable, she could even condense a physical body. At that time, soul force and fleshly strength coexisting, coupled with her bizarre and unfathomable soul techniques, she believed she could lead the Ghost Clan to suppress the Corpse Clan in one stroke and truly become the favorite before the Demon Clan's Young Master.

At this thought, Ghost Lady's gaze burned even hotter.

At this moment, Haotian was sizing up the two external incarnations of the Snake Woman before him from head to toe.

You had to know that every external incarnation of a Snake Woman had its own independent consciousness. But generally, when the main body summoned them, the incarnations would involuntarily return to the main body. Only if the incarnation's strength was almost equal to that of the main body, and it possessed an overpowering will of its own, could it possibly resist the main body.

Haotian's eyes kept turning, thinking about how exactly he should cultivate these incarnations of the Snake Woman as his puppets.

"Remove their bindings." The Demon Clan's Young Master said to the two.

Ghost Lady and Corpse Master, still kneeling on the ground, heard Haotian's words and didn't dare delay in the slightest. They hurried to the two incarnations, sliced apart the restraints on their bodies in one stroke, then quietly retreated behind Haotian.

"You two are the Snake Woman's incarnations?" Haotian squeezed out a smile, face all spring breeze as he looked at them.
