A thought crossed Chen Moxuan's mind.
"Let me share another piece of information with you for free: the imprint is a complex Spell, and only I know its entire content," a glint of cunning flashed in the Blood Emperor's eyes. "Now it's your turn to fulfill your promise!"
After hearing this, Chen Moxuan nodded and flew straight up into the air.
However, behind him came a burst of excited laughter.
The armor that Chen Moxuan mentioned was actually the main reason for the conflict between his master and the Blood Emperor. It was an armor forged from the blood of countless beings, possessing unparalleled power. Coupled with a remnant soul as its guiding spirit, anyone who donned it would ultimately become a slave to the armor.
Chen Moxuan knew that the Blood Emperor was speaking the truth. Once those bloodline seeds awakened completely, this realm would face unprecedented disasters. If Yun Miao Sheng Zhou fell into chaos, his master might no longer be able to maintain the current situation.
They might not be in immediate danger, but this scenario was undoubtedly what the Blood Emperor desired most. Only in chaos could there be opportunities!
Upon returning to the ground, Tiger Brother looked at Chen Moxuan seriously and asked, "Are you really going to release that Holy Blood Armor?"
"I have already sworn an oath," Chen Moxuan replied calmly.
"I feel like you’ve lost your mind!" Tiger Brother's expression grew even more serious. "You should know that once the Holy Blood Armor is released, it won't be long before someone becomes its slave. At that point, those imprints will be activated! You are essentially unleashing an extinction-level Great Divine Ability upon all of Yun Miao Sheng Zhou! You will endanger everyone, including your Immortal Emperor!"
Chen Moxuan shook his head. "Knowing oneself and knowing the enemy ensures victory in a hundred battles. It's better to keep control of the situation firmly in hand than to hand over the initiative to our enemies!"
"But you also said that if the enemy doesn't move, we shouldn't move either!" Tiger Brother shot back.
Chen Moxuan smiled as he pressed his hand against a stone pillar beside the altar and replied.
But now, the Blood Emperor has already made his first move, and I cannot afford to ignore it. Have you ever wondered why, after thousands of years, he chose not to destroy the ancient forces? Why did he not opt for a chaotic return to Ancient Times? Instead, he made his move in this incredibly tranquil moment, a time so devoid of chaos that there is nothing to leverage against him.
Tiger Brother immediately countered, "You’re overestimating him. Before you broke the seal, he didn’t even know what was happening right now. It was only after you opened the ruins that he took the opportunity to learn much about the current situation!"
Chen Moxuan shook his head. "Think about it, Tiger Brother! The Blood Sea is alive; no one understands it better than I do. When I realized that the Blood Sea possessed life, I understood that it is another entity altogether—its power just hasn’t unified yet!"
After saying this, he poured all his spiritual energy into the altar. The seal quickly began to restore itself.
Once Chen Moxuan completed everything, he looked at Tiger Brother. "Therefore, I must use that Holy Blood Armor to find the Blood Sea and then trace back to discover all his hidden moves! Otherwise, do you have any better plans?"
Tiger Brother suddenly understood. "You’ve already given him a chance; in order to unify all his power, he won’t be able to resist this bait! Even if he discards this bait, he might have to wait for another few thousand years! He knows nothing about the Immortal Emperor’s injury and is filled with fear because he’s terrified that the strength displayed by the Former Emperor has long exceeded his imagination!"
Chen Moxuan nodded. "Exactly!"
Chen Moxuan left the ancient altar, transforming into a streak of light that pierced through the sky, heading straight for the location of the Holy Blood Armor's seal. As night fell and stars twinkled above, it seemed even the starlight was guiding him on his path.
His heart was filled with both determination and unease, but more than anything, there was an anticipation for the challenge ahead.
The sealing place of the Holy Blood Armor was located in a desolate area of Yun Miao Sheng Zhou. Surrounded by withered trees and barren grasslands, it appeared particularly lonely. This was where he had once stood shoulder to shoulder with his master against the Blood Emperor; every inch of land was soaked in memories of past battles!
As Chen Moxuan approached, the oppressive atmosphere grew heavier, as if an invisible force was hindering his progress. He took a deep breath, formed hand seals with his fingers, and silently recited incantations. A radiant light surged from within him, sweeping away the surrounding gloom.
Before him stood a massive stone tablet covered in ancient runes—this was where the Holy Blood Armor was sealed.
After a long interval, I returned to this place for a greater mission.
Chen Moxuan gazed at the stone tablet, silently reciting in his heart. He then lightly touched its surface with both hands, closed his eyes, and focused, beginning to unravel the complex seal. The runes on the tablet lit up one by one, swirling with an eerie glow as if they had come to life.
Sweat beads gradually formed on Chen Moxuan's forehead. The process of unsealing was far more challenging than he had anticipated, testing both his willpower and spiritual energy. Finally, as the last rune dissipated, the stone tablet cracked open with a thunderous sound.
A blood-red light shot up into the sky. Within that radiance, the outline of a suit of armor could be faintly seen, emanating a chilling aura that seemed capable of devouring all light.
Holy Blood Armor, it has been a long time.
Chen Moxuan whispered, his gaze resolute. He knew that from this moment on, the most crucial bait had been cast; he just didn't know if he could catch the big fish.
Just as Chen Moxuan prepared to take further action, a gentle breeze swept through, causing the dry leaves on the ground to spin lightly. In this unremarkable natural occurrence lay a subtle hint of something unusual.
A pair of invisible eyes quietly observed everything from the shadows, glimmering with an inscrutable light. Those eyes seemed to transcend time and space, perceiving all of Chen Moxuan's plans and thoughts. They watched silently, without speaking, yet planted a seed of unease in Chen Moxuan's heart.
It was a feeling of being watched, making him realize that this game was far more complex than it appeared on the surface.
After completing the unsealing, Chen Moxuan did not leave immediately; instead, he stood still, closing his eyes to sense everything around him. However, apart from the gradually dissipating residual energy of the seal, he felt nothing else. The owner of those eyes had already departed quietly without leaving any trace.
It seemed that this game had only just begun.
Chen Moxuan murmured to himself, feeling both vigilant and determined. He knew that no matter how difficult the road ahead might be, for the sake of protecting his master and unveiling all of Blood Emperor's schemes, he had to press on.
Tiger Brother, we will be apart for some time now. You follow the armor while I return to complete Chen Feng's plans!
