Chapter 324: Han Xiao’s Younger Sister! The End of the Second Round!

TL: YYang

Emerging from the Scarlet Secret Realm, it was exactly as Chen Bai had anticipated.

In the vast Scarlet Square, only he and two equally bewildered devils remained.

Clearly, these two had yet to comprehend why, in such a short period of just two days and nights, the Secret Realm 13 had already achieved its quota for the selected number of participants.

From ten thousand down to a mere three.

Devils, with their superior intellect compared to demons, quickly noticed the strange individual standing beside them.

Especially with that overwhelming, almost marinated stench of blood and terror surrounding him, the two devils who had just emerged began to feel a delayed yet growing sense of fear.

It seemed as though their luck wasn’t too bad after all.

Being able to avoid this murderous fiend was fortunate, especially when they saw the blood-red pupils of that figure staring at them with undisguised greed and killing intent.

Over the course of two days and nights of slaughter, apart from the initial phase when Chen Bai used his SS-Rank Devil Bloodline to bait and ambush, he later focused on utilizing his gliding and hammer abilities, trying to fully adapt to this relatively unique combat style.

In all this time, aside from the relentless killing, Chen Bai had been keeping an eye on the state of the Face of Taotie.

Coupled with the devil bloodline he had previously obtained, he now barely managed to gather a total of three SS-Rank Devil Bloodlines, along with 450 evolution points and three additional S-Rank Devil Bloodlines.

Based on his earlier experience of fusing an SSS-Rank Demon Bloodline, to create a genuine SSS-Rank Devil Bloodline, he still needed about one and a half more SS-Rank Devil Bloodlines.

Unfortunately, under the current circumstances, there were no more devils left for him to hunt within the Scarlet Secret Realm.

Considering this, Chen Bai could only retract his greedy gaze from the two trembling devils nearby, feeling slightly regretful.

Afterward, he simply closed his eyes, quietly meditating as he waited.

Meanwhile, atop the Crimson Peak, gazing at the disappearing number plate of the Secret Realm 13, as well as the figure still visible in the projection screen, all the Devil Archdukes felt a chill run down their spines.

“Are human bloodlines really this powerful!? How could a mere human-demon hybrid be so strong? And just now, what was that devouring ability?! Even I felt a trace of fear facing such a devouring force!”

Someone spoke in disbelief.

At that moment, Astaroth could no longer contain her excitement. Her slender eyes brimmed with exhilaration.

What an interesting human!

What a fascinating little creature!

Such a little creature was clearly the perfect plaything for her!

Unfortunately, this time, the First Embrace Ceremony was under the watchful eye of Her Excellency Lilith, so Astaroth didn’t dare to make any excessive moves.

She could only suppress the fire in her heart and continue waiting in boredom.

Several hours passed when a voice full of delight echoed out!

“The Secret Realm 17 with Rika is also complete!”

Obviously, the one paying full attention to Rika was none other than Zepar.

All eyes turned in that direction, and sure enough, the screen displayed a figure plunging a pitch-black longsword into the heart of an opposing devil. In the next moment, light surrounded the figure, enveloping it as they appeared in the Scarlet Square!

Rika, or rather, Han Xiao’s younger sister, Han Li, stood in stark contrast to her elder brother, a pure-blooded human.

Her height was not far off from Chen Bai’s, and her blood-red battle armor clearly highlighted the advantages her background and identity granted her.

The devil horns on her head, unlike the typical long and curved horns of other devils, were small, about the length of a finger, giving off an oddly mischievous charm.

However, her jet-black long hair and a face that, while still slightly youthful, exuded icy coldness, made devils of a similar tier avoid her entirely.

The girl naturally assumed that she was the first to arrive.

Her strength gave her the confidence to believe so.

But as she scanned her surroundings, she suddenly froze.

Not far away, at the very core of the Scarlet Square, stood another figure, drenched in blood, quietly meditating with closed eyes.

The girl paid no attention to the nearby devils who, like her, were cautiously avoiding the figure in the center. Her sharp, icy eyes narrowed slightly.

The pitch-black longsword in her hand shimmered faintly with an eerie, cold light.

However, in the very next moment, that blood-soaked figure slowly opened his eyes and glanced at her. That single glance made the girl, who had grown up in the depths of hell, feel as if she had been struck by lightning.

What kind of eyes were those?

In those crimson pupils, an unrelenting, suppressed killing intent burned coldly. Surrounding his pupils were countless densely packed, tiny symbols, swirling in a mesmerizing and terrifying pattern.

Even though the girl was well-traveled and knowledgeable, at this moment, she found herself utterly immobilized under that gaze.

It was as if she had been locked onto by a natural predator, every hair on her body standing on end.

This was a reaction honed through countless encounters with death and slaughter—a reflex born of surviving countless crises.

Chen Bai, however, gave the moment little thought. The days of slaughter and devouring had indeed heightened his uncontrollable thirst for killing, but with just one glance, he had already identified who this girl was.

Her human bloodline, her human features, and, most importantly, the clear resemblance between her brows and Han Xiao’s left no doubt in his mind. To his surprise, he had encountered Han Xiao’s younger sister so soon.

Still, he only gave her a curious glance. If that was the case, it seemed Zepar hadn’t yet fully turned the Han family girl into his “little wife,” as rumors suggested.

Chen Bai felt a chill at the thought.

Although he wasn’t the type to meddle in others’ business, dealing with someone like Zepar, who dared to conceal information from him during their previous exchange, through a touch of humane obliteration wasn’t entirely out of the question.

As these thoughts drifted through his mind, time passed, second by second.

Eventually, as more figures began appearing in the Scarlet Square, some radiating intense killing intent, others battered with severed limbs, the crowd steadily grew larger.

This bloodiest and most brutal second round of the First Embrace Ceremony was finally coming to an end. At the same time, Astaroth’s figure appeared in the air above the square, visible to everyone below.
