In the mainlands of the Human Domain lay a lake that's thousands of kilometers wide. This lake did not held any water, but instead it hold a massive amount of blood.
This is the Blood Lake, a lake filled with the blood of one of the three Eternals to ever be born.
The Eternal Blood, Xue Wang.
After being defeated by the Eternal Unknown his entire body exploded causing all the blood in his body to spill out.
On that day, which was the Era known as the Eternal Era, a rain of blood fell all over the world. This blood caused beings from that time to turn into crazy monsters with just one touch of the blood.
With no way of destroying this blood the Eternal Unknown gathered all the blood from all over the world and created a huge lake filled with the Eternal Blood, Xue Wang blood.
You would think after so long that the blood by now would have dried up. After all it has been millions if not hundreds of millions of years since the Eternal Era ended.
However, the Eternal Blood, Xue Wang was no ordinary being.
In order for someone to become an eternal expert they must be able to create something that could last for eternity.
In the case of the Eternal Blood, Xue Wang, he chose his blood to become eternal, making it live forever.
This means even though he is dead, it is impossible for his blood to cease to exist. That is why the Eternal Unknown was unable to destroy his blood.
But then a question remains. If an eternal expert could create something that is meant to last forever and the Eternal Blood, Xue Wang had the power to manipulate blood.....
How did the Eternal Unknown manage to kill the Eternal Blood, Xue Wang when his blood is immortal?

Prodigy Era, Five hours ago....
Underneath the Blood Lake is a prison meant to store those who touched the blood of the eternal. These are people who have become B-crazed, also known as the Blood Race.
"I hate my job." A officer yawned as he guard an elevator that seems to be the entranced to the Blood Lake Prison.
"Same. I wish I could be home making babies with my wife." Another officer said with uninterested eyes.
In front of them were cells holding different kind of monsters from the Blood Race. These monsters looked at the two men quite hungrily.
These monsters entire body was just made up of blood allowing them to take on any shape or form. Due to their bestial instincts most of them choose to take on the appearance of animals and beast, some mixing themselves to have three heads or more legs and arms.
There are four sections of the Blood Lake Prison. Section A is the upper prison that holds prisoners of the human race.
Section B holds the easiest to contain monsters of the Blood Race.
Section C holds B-crazed that are intelligent enough to cause great damage to the world if let loose.
While Section D contains the most dangerous one of them all...
These two officers were at Section B.
"Didn't you just have a child like 5 months ago?" Ren Su, the first office asked while looking at his partner.
"Yeah... but you know my wife. She only ever do it with me if it is to make a child." Qiao Chen, the second office exclaimed.
"That's tough..." At that moment the elevator to the prison opens with a beep causing the two offices to jump.
They quickly gather their bearings and quickly changed their expressions to one of utmost seriousness.
The elevator opened to reveal two figures, a man and a woman.
The man brown eyes similar to his hair look sharply at the two men. When the two officers saw who they were in front of they began trembling.
"E- Emperor Qi!" They shouted together as they immediately knelt to the ground, completely ignoring the woman with black hair who stare at them with an expressionless face.
"We didn't know you were coming today Emperor Qi!" They said at the same time, quite confused on why one of the emperors of the human race was doing here.
"That's because I am not meant to be here." Emperor Qi stated confusing the two officers more.
"Emperor—" They were just about to ask what he was doing here when a blade abruptly sliced their heads off.
Blood spilled and when the B-crazed saw this scene they became berserk as its been a long time since these hungry monsters last saw the blood of others.
The woman with black hair swiped her katana in the air to get rid of the blood before sheathing it in her scabbard.
This girl eyes were fully black. However, if one were to look closely you could see that inside her pupils had two kind of energies, one fierce and the other cold flowing against one another.
She wore a black sleeveless mini dress that highlight her thighs along with a white belt tied around her waist that held her black skirt with faint snowy colors on the edges.
Her long black hair flow behind her as she stare at the two men she just killed with clear disdain. The number 1 could be seen on her right hand.
"How weak. Is this really what the sort of people the Human Domain have in a prison that is said to hold one of the most dangerous races in the world?"
"Well no one would have expected anyone to easily invade the Blood Lake Prison under the watchful eyes of the two emperors."
"Masked Girl or should I call you Princess Mask?" Emperor Qi smiled quite cunningly at the woman.
"Call me whatever you want." The Masked Girl utter as she began walking inside the prison.
"Very well, I will call you Princess Coldy then." Emperor Qi laughed mockingly at the name he came up with.
The masked girl didn't react at all to his bad joke making him feel a bit awkward.
"By the way, may I ask you something?" He asked to try get out of this awkward situation.
"Speak."
"Why are you not wearing a mask?" He questioned.
Turning to look into Emperor Qi she stare dead into his eyes causing him to gulped at her beautiful face that looked like it was created by a god when he look at her expressionless face.
"Are you stupid? Can you not see my hair? It is pretty obvious that I am the complete contrast of my sisters." She sneered as her opinion of Emperor Qi began going downhill.
"Please don't talk to me any longer. I cannot bear being with someone like you for another second." She stated rather coldly making Emperor Qi embarrassed and humiliated.
When he thought about how she was merely a little girl compare to his age he became furious. If he wanted to, he could kill her with just a flick of his fingers.
But he held that anger in. Since he choose to betray the human race he no longer have a place to call home and he knew far too well that the moment the Xu Emperor heard of his betrayal he would locate him and try to kill him on the spot, something he didn't want to face as the power of death is something even he, being one of the strongest experts in this world is afraid of.
Seeing the man become quiet the masked girl ignored him and stare at the monsters who have already went insane at the sight of blood.
"Be free." She murmured as she release her katana once more. With a simple swing of her blade the glass that kept these monsters prisoned for thousands of years shatter into millions of pieces, releasing these monsters onto the world.
The monsters that couldn't hold their hunger in any longer immediately jumped towards the two headless officers as they began fighting amongst each other for their body.
Seconds later red alarms rang all over the prison. Steam began coming out of no where, steam that could easily put anyone to sleep, but soon it stopped as black crystals cover up the places these steam were coming out of.
The masked girl alongside Emperor Qi continued walking and soon she reached Section C.
When they arrived they were immediately surrounded by sergeants, lieutenants and commanders of the Blood Lake Prison. These people looked at Emperor Qi with eyes filled with hate.
"Deal with them." The masked girl commanded as she began walking towards the location to Section D.
"Kill that girl!" Seeing she ignore them one of the commanders yelled as his hands became covered in flames. He screamed with all his might, causing the others to began attacking the masked girl as well.
"Stop." But at that moment one word from Emperor Qi caused them to stop moving. Sweat began dripping down their faces as they realize they couldn't feel their legs.
This wasn't a spell like Yao Zui charm magic nor was it an ability like Cao Xiuying own.
It was a simply command. The command of an Emperor.
Emperor Qi sighed as a sword magically appear in his hands. "To think I would raise my blade against my fellow humans one day." He mumbled to himself in a rather sad tone causing everyone to look at him with endless rage.
"Oh well." He shrugged when he saw their expressions.
"Disappear." He swung his sword horizontal and moments later.... there was no one there.
Every human being who appear to confront them vanished with nothing left of them.
This is the power of someone who cultivates the ways of the sword.
The Sword Dao.
The two after killing everyone who was on Section C released all the intelligent beings of the blood race and form a contract with them. Soon after a portal was opened and they all disappear within it.
The two quickly arrived at Section D only to see a lone man standing there guarding the place with his hands behind his back, his face looking rather emotionless, but if you were to look closely you could see he was trying very hard to hide his anger.
"Qi Jian."
"Warden."
The two men look at one another and greeted. The Warden choosing not to call Qi Jian 'emperor' due to the fact that after what he did today he will no longer be an emperor of the human race.
"So the day has finally come when you choose to betray the human race huh? To be fair we all expected it, just that we never would have thought you would ally with the Central Domain." The Warden mentioned as he stare at Number 1.
"Hmm? You should know my personality by now Warden. I won't stay under someone who is dead." Qi Jian exclaimed while crossing his arms.
"The Sword Sovereign? I have no idea why you think he's dead." The Warden shook his head with a sigh.
"Sword Sovereign my ass! It should have been me who was chosen to become the human sovereign and the number 1 expert in the sword dao not him!" Qi Jian yelled causing the blood lake to shook a little.
"Besides, it has been two hundred thousand years since he went into seclusion. No human has ever stay so long in seclusion which can only mean he is dead." After regaining his bearings he exclaimed with a mocking smile.
"To think the so called Sword Sovereign would die while trying to become a Domain Ruler. Hah! How laughable!" Qi Jian began chuckling to himself as he thought of this topic causing the Warden anger to flare out of control.
"How dare you mock the Sword Sovereign, Qi Jian! If it wasn't for him you, me, The Xu Emperor and the rest would all be dead!"
"Not only that, but you also choose to betray two people who consider you a childhood friend!" The Warden, unable to control his anger tapped his fist on a wall, causing it to cave in a little before returning back to normal.
These walls were created using the magic of the Magus Race making it nearly impossible to break.
"I just cannot understand you." Calming down he got into position to fight.
"Let's end this Qi Jian."
"Gladly." Qi Jian took back out his sword as endless sword energy came flowing out of his body. This energy that was mixed in with endless energy created invisible blades that continuously scratch the walls of the underwater prison.
If a normal person were to walk into those then they would have died without a corpse to show.
"Wait." Just as they were about to start fighting to the death the princess walked in front of Qi Jian completely unaffected by his sword energy.
She unsheathe her katana as she stare at the Warden with eyes filled with interest.
"I will be the one to fight you."
