Meanwhile.
As Zeus commanded everyone to take action, on Blue Star, leaders and warriors of various countries observed the rift after escorting the group away.
No matter how they observed, the rift appeared unremarkable, exuding only an ancient aura, as if it were a product of tens of millions of years ago.
But... this was a rift! How could it be a product of tens of millions of years ago?
However.
At this moment.
Boom!
The rift suddenly erupted with an extremely powerful aura.
"Who!"
The warriors from various countries, who were investigating, were startled and turned their heads, their spiritual energy instantly surging out.
Although the warriors reacted immediately, the aura was extremely potent.
With a bang.
The warriors from various countries were sent flying backward by the aura, finally crashing heavily onto the ground.
"Cough cough..."
The warriors from various countries turned pale, their faces filled with an unspeakable fear.
Because, just now, they had seen a small path in the radiant rift.
The path wound and twisted, becoming darker as it went deeper.
And at the end of this path, they seemed to see a group of figures gathered there.
The figures were faint and blurry, not clearly visible, but there was one thing they sensed with absolute clarity.
It was the aura emanating from within them.
It was very strong, comparable to Ao Yuan.
Facing this aura, they felt no desire to resist.
And for the figures within the rift, they all had a common answer in their hearts.
This might be the "Main Gods" that group had spoken of!
At this moment.
They could no longer see the scene within the rift.
But the emanating aura was incredibly dense.
"Quick, quick, quickly go inform the leaders."
"There's something unusual happening here!"
Meanwhile.
Within the territory of the United States of America.
"Is that the ancient castle?"
Ao Yuan looked up, and from afar, he saw a desolate ancient castle situated in a deserted area.
The castle was vast, and everything in sight was shrouded in darkness.
The walls were dark and dilapidated, with cobwebs visible everywhere in the corners.
There was no sign of life, only dead silence, not even small animals that prefer dark and damp places.
It was as if this place was forgotten by time.
"Yes!"
The figure Ao Yuan had taken gasped and said with certainty, "This castle is not on Blue Star."
"It is in another dimension. Before this, it would only appear when the Blood Ancestor awakened."
Ao Yuan nodded slightly. This was similar to Poseidon's Atlantis.
The places they inhabited were not discovered by ordinary people.
"Let's go."
Knowing what was happening, Ao Yuan no longer hesitated and led the way towards the castle.
Upon arriving at the castle gates.
Ao Yuan noticed that the castle's iron gate seemed to be in disrepair, swaying and creaking ominously.
"Strange, I couldn't hear this sound before."
Ao Yuan was somewhat surprised. Such a loud noise, yet he hadn't heard it until now.
Suddenly, Ao Yuan seemed to notice something, and his gaze paused.
He saw.
Above the iron gate, two bloody characters seemed to be written in blood: Blood Castle!
Although it looked like it had been there for a very long time, a strong smell of blood still wafted from it.
"Let's go."
Ao Yuan looked for a moment and then walked straight towards the Blood Castle.
"Why aren't you going?"
After a few steps, Ao Yuan suddenly stopped and looked back at the person who had brought him there.
"I..."
The person hesitated at first, but finally, seeing Ao Yuan's expression, gritted his teeth and followed him in.
To be honest, he didn't want to go in.
The reason was simple: neither Ao Yuan nor the Blood Ancestor were beings he could afford to provoke.
Entering the Blood Castle would greatly increase his danger.
However.
He also knew that if he didn't show up, Ao Yuan would surely kill him.
Entering the Blood Castle, Ao Yuan heightened his vigilance, his body taut, ready to unleash his spiritual energy at any moment.
Although his current strength was already formidable.
Ao Yuan still did not underestimate any opponent.
Even a lion uses its full strength to catch a rabbit, let alone the legendary Blood Ancestor, who was no mere rabbit!
If Ao Yuan was a lion, he was at least a tiger!
"This Blood Castle is truly bizarre!"
As he walked into the Blood Castle, a strong, pungent smell of blood assailed him.
Looking around, everything was dark, which had no effect on Ao Yuan.
At this moment.
He could see that the Blood Castle was very spacious.
However, the interior looked completely different from the exterior.
It looked brand new.
There was no sign of dilapidation.
The surrounding walls were covered with paintings, one after another.
Without exception, all these paintings were of vampires.
After surveying the area and confirming no immediate danger, Ao Yuan strode forward.
Creak creak creak!
Clear footsteps echoed through the spacious corridor, like the call of death.
"Where do you think the Blood Ancestor you mentioned is?" Ao Yuan glanced at him, noticing that the person beside him was already tense.
"He... he's discovered us." The man said in a trembling voice.
"Oh?"
Ao Yuan was slightly taken aback, but quickly reacted.
This was the Blood Ancestor's domain; it was impossible for him not to notice.
Just as if someone were to trespass into the Dragon Palace, he would be the first to receive the news.
"Lord... Lord Dragon God!"
Suddenly, the man's body trembled, his face filled with fear.
"Hmm?"
Ao Yuan let out a soft sound, and the next second his eyes widened.
He saw something incredibly unbelievable.
Just now.
He found that the paintings of vampires on the walls had come to life.
Ao Yuan's eyes subtly shifted as he looked at the other murals.
At first glance, there was no difference.
However.
After observing them closely, Ao Yuan found that the vampires depicted in these murals had all changed their forms.
Some opened their eyes, some opened their mouths, and some bared their claws!
"Interesting." Ao Yuan sighed with a hint of emotion.
He had observed the murals before, but he had found no unusual aura from them.
"Since you've been discovered by me."
"Then all of you shall die!"
As he spoke, Ao Yuan waved his hand.
Whoosh!
Instantly, an unseen flame ignited on the murals.
"Screeeech..."
At this moment, the vampires and bats on the murals seemed to come alive, emitting a shrill scream.
Their expressions became even more ferocious.
Hiss hiss hiss!
Then, they seemed to try to escape from the murals.
However, the fierce flames instantly surged forward.
Burning them to ashes!
