We agreed to set sail, so you'd become the ruler of the deep sea?

Chapter 486 [Pure-Blood Royal Descendant] [tainted-blood descendant]

"【Crimson Realm】?"

Xia En frowned slightly; this was the first time he had ever heard of this name.

Fei Ya nodded, a complex look flashing in her eyes.

"According to the information in the bloodline inheritance, this is the origin of the vampire legends."

"It is the first vampire [secret realm] to fall in the [River of Blood]."

"I never expected... it would be here."

Xia En gazed thoughtfully at the blood-moon-shaped secret realm.

The dark red veins on the surface pulsate slowly with a certain rhythm, like the heart of a sleeping behemoth.

"Layla's coordinates point here, which means she has most likely been to this place."

"Perhaps the secret she left behind is hidden in this secret place."

at this time.

"Youxing issued a warning," he said.

"Captain, the spatial structure at the entrance to the secret realm is very unstable!"

"If we enter rashly, it may trigger spatial turbulence."

Xia En looked in the direction Youxing was pointing.

At the tip of the Crimson Realm, subtle spatial distortions can indeed be seen, like ripples in the air under high temperatures.

Is there a way to get in safely?

Youxing and Youyue exchanged a glance and simultaneously raised their hands.

Azure starlight flowed from their fingertips, weaving into a fine star web in the void.

"We can use the Starry Sky Secret Technique to temporarily stabilize the entrance."

"But it can only last for ten minutes at most."

Xia En decisively ordered, "That's enough!"

"Everyone, get ready! We're entering the Crimson Realm immediately!"

Following his command, the Black Swan adjusted its course and slowly sailed toward the tip of the Blood Moon Secret Realm.

The starlight network of the ghostly stars and the ghostly moon, like a dream catcher, gently enveloped the distorted space.

Under the influence of the Starry Sky Secret Technique, the turbulent spatial currents gradually subsided, revealing a narrow passage.

"It's now!"

Shane turned the steering wheel, and the silver sails of the Black Swan billowed as it plunged into the passageway.

In an instant, the world spun around!

The ship trembled violently, as if it were passing through a layer of viscous blood.

When their vision cleared again, they found themselves in a completely unfamiliar world.

The dark red sky resembled congealed blood; there was no sun, only a huge blood moon hanging high in the sky.

The air was filled with a rusty, sweet smell, and each breath made my lungs sting slightly.

The most chilling thing is...

The entire land was composed of some kind of dark red crystals, with fine, vascular-like patterns covering its surface.

These "blood vessels" appear to have liquid flowing within them, emitting a faint red glow.

"Is this the [Crimson Realm]?"

String Song transformed back into human form and cautiously looked around.

"It doesn't feel very friendly."

Joey's staff glowed faintly, and he said with unease, "The mystical energy in the air is highly corrosive."

"Prolonged exposure may affect mental state."

Xia En was not surprised by this.

After all, they are different from vampires like He Xiange, whose bloodline is pure and who have never drunk blood.

The vampires he encountered generally possessed eerie and evil qualities.

That kind of evil is deeply rooted in the depths of the soul!

Xia En suspected that this was related to the vampire deity, the legendary "Crimson Lord".

At this time, the [Crimson Realm] where they were located was most likely inseparable from the [Crimson Lord].

Xia En's mind raced, and he spoke at the same time.

"Everyone, turn on your protective gear and do not directly touch any of the materials here."

Vivian immediately erected a purple and green protective shield, enveloping the entire ship.

Anze summoned the secret power of nature to form a purifying barrier inside the protective shield, filtering out corrosive energy from the air.

Xia En stood at the bow of the ship, his dark eyes reflecting the blood-red earth.

He took out a silver compass, the pointer trembled violently, and finally pointed to a certain direction deep within the secret realm.

"The guidance left by Leila is still in effect."

Xia En said in a deep voice, "The target is due east. Full speed ahead!"

The Black Swan flew low along the surface of the earth, which was composed of dark red crystals.

As they ventured deeper, the surrounding scenery became increasingly bizarre.

Huge skeletons began to appear on the ground, some resembling some kind of giant beast, while others were clearly humanoid creatures.

Even more disturbing is that the surfaces of these skeletons are also covered with vascular patterns, as if they were still "alive".

"these are……"

Joey's voice trembled slightly: "The remains of the vampire ancestors?"

Feiya stared intently at the skeletons, her rose-gold pupils slightly contracting.

"No...it's not just remains..."

"They...are breathing..."

As if to confirm his words, the nearest giant beast skeleton suddenly trembled slightly.

Two crimson lights slowly lit up in the empty eye sockets!
"alert!"

Xia En shouted, and the secret power within his body instantly boiled.

Almost at the same moment, the skeletons on the entire blood-red land trembled in unison!
Dark red veins writhed wildly, and countless bones spontaneously pieced themselves together, transforming into deformed monsters!

Some of them resemble giant wolves, with blood vessels intertwined between their bones.

Some resemble multi-legged centipedes, pieced together from dozens of human skeletons.

There is also a giant skeleton that is 100 meters tall, and its head is a fusion of the skulls of three different creatures!
"Roar--!"

The skeletal monsters let out piercing screams and swarmed towards the Black Swan!

"Fire!"

String Song was the first to spew dragon flames, and the golden-red flames burned the monsters in the front row to ashes.

Vivian's staff shot out beams of annihilation, causing bones to crumble wherever it passed.

Shaen's [Void Secret Power] condensed into a black hole, devouring countless skeletons.

However, these monsters seemed endless.

Even more terrifying is that the shattered bones will rapidly reassemble, and may even absorb the remains of their companions to grow larger!
"They can't be killed!"

Joey's illusory waves shattered a monster, leaving him pale.

"This can't go on like this."

at this time.

Fei Ya stepped forward, his rose-gold eyes suddenly lighting up, and an ancient and majestic aura emanated from him.

"Let me try."

Feiya's voice turned deep, carrying an undeniable authority.

He gently cut his wrist, and a drop of blood, like a ruby ​​with golden veins, floated in the air.

The moment that drop of blood appeared, all the skeletal monsters around suddenly froze in place.

The crimson light in their eye sockets flickered intensely, as if they were afraid of something.

"In the name of the Crimson Descendants..."

Feiya's voice echoed across the crimson land, each syllable resonating deep within the secret realm.

Suddenly, a crack appeared in the dark red sky, and a beam of blood-red light descended from the sky, enveloping Fei Ya.

"Kneel down!"

With that shout, the drop of blood that was suspended suddenly burst into a dazzling golden-red light.

Wherever the light passed, all the skeletal monsters collapsed to the ground as if struck by an invisible hammer.

Even the skeletal remains of a giant hundreds of meters tall knelt on one knee, its three skulls bowing deeply.

A look of surprise flashed in Xia En's eyes.

Although he had long known that Feiya's bloodline was very pure, so much so that she had always been a coveted target for vampires in the Seven Seas World.

But he hadn't expected that even within the Crimson Realm, Fei Ya's bloodline still appeared quite extraordinary. One could only say...

No wonder it's a bloodline that can move even the "River of Blood".

The skeletal monsters knelt on the ground, the blood vessels between their bones trembling violently, yet they dared not offer the slightest resistance.

This is a suppression originating from the deepest part of one's bloodline, and the most direct manifestation of the vampire class system.

"Walk!"

Feiya maintained her bloodline pressure and turned to Xia En.

"My bloodline can only temporarily intimidate them. Let's advance now!"

Shane immediately understood and maneuvered the Black Swan to quickly pass over the crawling skeletons.

As the ship sailed away, the monsters slowly raised their heads, but they dared not give chase.

"I didn't expect your bloodline to be so powerful."

String Song transformed back into human form and looked at Fei Ya in surprise.

"That kind of pressure was even more powerful than any vampire prince I've ever encountered before."

A complex expression flashed in Fei Yamei's golden pupils.

"Now that I think about it, my mother's bloodline is probably more mysterious and ancient than I thought."

The aura of Faia's bloodline intimidated the skeletal monster, allowing the Black Swan to continue its journey.

However, they did not notice that several scarlet figures were quietly following them against the dark red sky.

Something's not right.

Xia En suddenly frowned, and an inexplicable intuition made him look up at the sky.

“Someone is watching us.”

No sooner had the words left his mouth than five blood-red figures descended from the sky like sharp arrows!

They wore dark red robes, their skin was so pale it was almost transparent, and their eyes gleamed with a scarlet light.

Joey gasped softly, "It's a vampire!"

Xia En's expression changed slightly.

He didn't have a good impression of any vampires other than Faia.

They raise blood slaves, suck human blood, and transform other races into their own kind.

Various bizarre and evil methods have emerged one after another.

The vampires in the Crimson Realm are likely to be even more dangerous.

Xia En immediately became alert, gathering his inner power and preparing to unleash it, his sharp gaze fixed on the vampires descending from the sky.

However, unexpectedly.

The five vampires did not launch an attack.

They hovered in mid-air, their robes fluttering gently in the crimson breeze, their scarlet eyes gleaming with complex light.

The leader of the vampires was a man with a cold and stern face.

Her long, silvery-white hair was tied up at the back of her head, with a wisp of eerie red hair hanging down her forehead.

He landed slowly on the deck of the Black Swan, his movements as graceful as if he were performing an ancient dance.

"Welcome to the Crimson Sanctuary, guests who have traveled from afar."

His voice was deep and pleasant, yet carried an undeniable air of authority.

“I am Prince Alcain of the Holy Bloodline, and we mean no harm.”

"I just sensed an extremely pure aura of blood."

"That's why I came to check, but I never expected..."

Alkain's gaze fell on Fei Yamei's golden eyes, and his expression became somewhat subtle.

Xia En stepped forward and shielded Fei Ya behind him.

He could sense that the vampire prince in front of him possessed at least the strength of the eighth rank.

This was arguably the most powerful vampire he had ever encountered.

Even if Al-Kain keeps saying he has no ill intentions, who knows if it's just a facade?
Now that this is vampire territory, how could Xia En not be wary?

Alcain noticed Shane's defensive posture, and a meaningful smile appeared on his lips.

"It seems my appearance has made you all a little nervous."

He gracefully took a half step back, placing his right hand on his chest in an ancient gesture of respect.

"Please allow me to formally invite you all to the Crimson Temple. After all..."

Alkain's gaze once again passed over Shane and went straight to Feiya.

"It's truly a rare stroke of luck to meet a pure-blooded royal here."

"A pure-blooded royal descendant?"

Xia En keenly noticed the unfamiliar title and caught a glimpse of a similar look of confusion on Fei Ya's face.

Al-Kain seemed somewhat surprised: "What, does His Highness not know his own identity?"

He thoughtfully examined Fei Ya Mei's golden pupils and her unique bloodline aura.

"Interesting...it seems we have a lot to talk about."

But suddenly at this moment.

A sound like the flapping of bat wings came from the air.

The vampires' expressions immediately changed.

"It's a [tainted bloodline]!"

"They also sensed His Highness's presence!"

Al-Kain's expression also turned serious.

He immediately said, "Gentlemen, please leave this place with me quickly."

"If the Bloodstained Bloodline were to learn of His Highness's existence, they would likely hunt him down at all costs."

Xia En raised his eyebrows.

He could sense that Al-Kain's tension and worry were not feigned.

But he still asked, "【Dirty Bloodline】, what is that?"

Due to the urgency of the situation, Al-Kain explained succinctly.

"Those were a group of vampires who betrayed the River of Blood."

"They hunt other members of their own kind for food!"

Shane's pupils contracted slightly.

Predatory vampires of their own kind? This was completely different from what he knew about vampires.

But the situation was urgent, and he had to make a quick decision.

Alkain said urgently, "There's no time to explain!"

"The enemies of the [tainted bloodline] are approaching!"

Xia En listened intently and indeed heard a strange buzzing sound coming from afar, like thousands of bats flapping their wings at the same time.

He made a decisive order: "Everyone, be on high alert!"

"Xiange, Vivian, prepare for battle!"

Al-Kain shook his head: "No, you are no match for them."

"There are at least three princes among the [Bloodstained Descendants] in this area!"

He turned to Faia and knelt on one knee.

"Your Highness, please allow me to open the [Blood Channel] and lead you to safety."

Feiya looked at Xia En, a hint of hesitation flashing in her rose-gold eyes.

Xia En asked in a deep voice, "Why should we believe you?"

Alcain suddenly slashed his wrist, and dark red blood congealed in the air into a complex emblem.

"I swear by a river of blood, if I harbor even the slightest intention to harm, may I suffer eternal torment by being burned alive!"

The vampires swear an oath with a river of blood, the most solemn oath ever made.

Xia En and Fei Ya exchanged a glance and finally nodded.

"Okay, we'll go with you."

Al-Kain immediately stood up and quickly formed hand seals.

His blood spread across the deck like a living thing, outlining a huge crimson magic circle.

"Hurry! The passage can only be maintained for thirty seconds!"

As the magic array was completed, a beam of blood-red light shot into the sky, enveloping the entire Black Swan.

Just as the ship was about to disappear.

Xia En saw that the distant sky was covered with a murky, bloody color.

Countless twisted figures writhe within, emitting chilling shrieks.
