The battle rapidly spread across the lake’s surface.
In just a moment, Lin Yun noticed that five Transcendent Realm cultivators had already revealed their auras in the battlefield.
“The intensity of the battle is even greater than I imagined,” Lin Yun remarked, gazing at the battlefield ahead with a sigh.
“Friend Lin Yun, your decision was wise. Rushing in now would be far too dangerous,” Wu Yue said, his expression grave as he watched the battlefield.
When the Blood Demon Flower bloomed, they had been eager to charge forward.
But now, witnessing the ferocious chaos erupting, they quickly sobered.
In just a short time, several Saint Realm cultivators had already perished, falling into the lake.
“Seizing this Blood Demon Flower is bound to be extremely risky,” Wu Chengtian said.
In the battlefield, the Transcendent Realm elder, leading a dozen guards, charged forward fiercely.
Having been positioned at the lake’s edge, his team was among those at the forefront.
As a result, they immediately faced a barrage of long-range attacks from behind.
This forced the elder and his guards to defend.
“How dare you attack me!” the elder roared furiously at the teams launching attacks from behind.
But in this chaotic situation, his Transcendent Realm status could not intimidate anyone.
Enraged, the elder swung his palm, conjuring a massive palm shadow that struck at the teams behind him.
Boom, boom, boom!
His attack collided with the onslaught from those teams.
The battlefield had descended into total chaos.
The further ahead one was, the more attacks they faced.
In the distance, Wu Chengtian gazed forward, “I’m preparing to join the fray.”
Though he had no intention of rushing to the front, he needed to follow behind to seize an opportunity.
“You two stay here. I’ll go first!” Wu Chengtian declared, then stomped and charged toward the battlefield.
Going alone, he could act freely, without needing to protect his two younger brothers.
“Brother!” Wu Yue and Wu Qing called out, tense as they watched Wu Chengtian rush into the fray.
“Friend Wu Chengtian is a Transcendent Realm cultivator. Even if he can’t secure the Blood Demon Flower, his strength should keep him safe. No need to worry too much,” Lin Yun reassured the brothers.
Though several Transcendent Realm cultivators were present, they were still rare, making them top-tier forces here.
Wu Yue and Wu Qing nodded.
Lin Yun still refrained from rushing in, choosing to stay and wait for the right moment.
In this chaotic situation, he felt it wasn’t yet time to act.
Lin Yun also noticed the man in the brocade robe remaining by the lake, unprotected.
But Lin Yun saw no point in targeting him now. Killing him would prompt the Transcendent Realm elder to abandon the Blood Demon Flower and come after Lin Yun.
Besides, Lin Yun’s focus was on the Blood Demon Flower.
“Look over there!” Wu Yue suddenly pointed to the jungle on the left, exclaiming.
Lin Yun turned to look.
From the distant jungle on the left, numerous demonic figures emerged.
“Demons!” Lin Yun’s face changed upon seeing them.
He quickly scanned other directions.
Demons were charging from all sides!
Lin Yun estimated at least several hundred demons were rushing in.
Since arriving at the Border Mountains, he had never seen so many demons at once.
Clearly, they were after the Blood Demon Flower.
The demons surged from all directions toward the lake, conjuring black-and-red energy spheres that smashed into the battlefield.
Boom, boom, boom!
As the demons’ attacks exploded, dazzling and shaking the ground, teams on the lake’s outskirts were hit. Some human cultivators fell into the lake, dead, while others screamed in agony from injuries.
“Demons! Demons!” cries of alarm spread across the lake.
The teams, already embroiled in chaos, were shocked by the sudden appearance of so many demons.
“Damn it! So many demons are after the Blood Demon Flower too!” the elder named Old Li cursed, seeing the horde.
With so many demons joining the fight, the struggle for the Blood Demon Flower would only grow more brutal.
The arrival of hundreds of demons drastically altered the situation.
The demons quickly reached the lake’s edge.
“Quick, everyone, fight the demons together!” many human cultivators shouted.
“Exactly! Unite against the demons, or we’ll all become their prey!” a Transcendent Realm cultivator called out.
The teams exchanged glances, nodded, and reached a consensus.
Though they were rivals, fighting fiercely moments ago, the situation had changed.
They knew that facing hundreds of demons, if they didn’t unite, they wouldn’t just lose the Blood Demon Flower—they’d lose their lives, becoming demon fodder.
As the demons charged, unleashing a barrage of attacks, the human teams turned, launching counterattacks.
The battle erupted anew.
Boom, boom, boom!
Hundreds of demons and humans clashed, their collisions exploding in the air, accompanied by roars and screams.
The battlefield was now far more chaotic than before.
“I never expected the fight for the Blood Demon Flower to escalate like this,” Lin Yun said, astonished as he watched.
Amid this chaos, the number of fallen human cultivators continued to rise.
