After days of constant eerie quiet, They had finally arrived at the core of the forest and were met with a stunning sight, a large blood-red castle, at the castle gates, were several 100 blood puppets and blood beasts.
In the air above these beings, a woman wearing a golden crown and a red gown stood, she had a cold and overbearing aura. By her side was a youth; it was Nosferatu. He felt like an ant compared to his master.
After looking at Feng and co for a while, the Blood Queen suddenly spoke.
"I hear you told my disciple something about being a celestial demon, what makes you sure and why should I not kill you if you lied just to coax my innocent disciple?"
Hearing this, Nosferatu shook his head bitterly, how was he innocent. In fact, he could be considered one of the evil cultivators because of his master, which resulted in him having a different treatment compared to the other younger generations, it was also because of this that he gained a weird sense of thinking.
Feng, standing at the front of the mercenaries and Eshu, spoke the moment she was done.
"Why would I be lying?"
With a slight thought, his celestial demon transformation was activated. His previously dark hair and eyes were replaced, where his black hair previously was, now sat thin strands of luxurious white hair, not the type you'd see on an old person, but a pristine white that would belong to royals.
And as for his previously dark irises, they were now replaced with a glaring red, almost comparable to the red on the Blood Queen's gown.
The eyes of the Blood Queen dilated, seeing Feng clad in demonic clothes and activating the celestial demon transformation on the spot, she realised he was more than just talk.
"Hmph, so what if you're a Celestial Demon Royal, and so what if my disciple is a Celestial Demon, you still have to pass my test before you can take him anywhere, as long as you defeat all these blood beings then I'll let you take Nosferatu!"
At that moment, her voice reverberated across the entire forest, her cultivation supporting it.
Feng's eyes dilated, he sensed her level of cultivation; she had reached the Sovereign Level, most probably 2nd Rank.
He knew the importance of this. After one entered the Lord Level, and reached the peak to breakthrough the Level and enter the Overlord Level, the energy they cultivated in would no longer be sufficient, and like those in the Jade Level who needed to condense a part of The Laws of The World into grimoires, to enter the Overlord Level one needed to successfully master one minor Law of The Worlds, and for Feng's case, he would need to master a Dao.
Looking at the Blood Queen's facial features, he realised it was impossible for her to have been old, reaching this level at her age could be considered inconceivable.
"Fine then! Bring it on!"
With a snort, the Blood Queen waved her arm, and with a command, the blood beasts had been deployed.
Suddenly Feng felt a faint aura rapidly approaching, turning his head, he saw a rat-like Blood Beast surreptitiously running over. With a light intention, two blades were pulled out of his arm. They boomed with thunder and crackled with lightning. The faint illusory image of a Pheonix which had thunder around it, and a giant man who crackled with lightning.
Feng slashed forward towards the approaching blood rat. The strike cut through space, and arrived at the front of the beast, killing it.
Suddenly, without any warning, Feng heard Proteus's voice within his mind.
{Master, switch our arms!}
Feng did as proteus said and waited for a practical explanation, what happened was unexpected, Proteus coated his fingers with spiritual energy and shot a strand of spiritual energy towards a glowing blood pearl that lay where the blood rat previously was.
The strand of energy grabbed the pearl and levitated it towards Feng. Feng naturally understood the train of thought of Proteus and laughed heartily.
Soon he even poured in his spiritual energy to pick up blood pearls from everywhere on the battlefield. Soon, the amount of pearls within Feng and Proteus's hands numbered 25.
Once again, Proteus did something surprising once again. The pearls levitated in front of Feng in a circular formation. The spiritual energy keeping them afloat.
Proteus willed and the Pearls shot out, all around the battlefield, killing any blood beast around the battlefield. After bathing in the blood of the all-blood beasts, the pearls looked extremely demonic and glowed with a sinister blood light.
Feng was stunned at Proteus's precision and control of the blood pearls, much so that his jaw literally dropped.
He didn't ask any questions just yet, but merely ran over to attack the puppet generals, which were picked from the blood queen's elite forces, Feng even caught sight of some gold-armoured puppet generals.
. . .
Coming out of the gate of the Blood Queen's Castle was an extremely big gold-armoured puppet general. seeing as how most of the puppet generals were people from different races previously, didn't that mean that this puppet general was of the titan race when it was still alive.
ROAR!!!!!
The Puppet General let out an earth-shattering roar that echoed across the battlefield and across the entire forest.
But at the same time, the strange rock egg within Feng's spatial crystal began to crack, and a small furry hand emerged from within.
