I Ascend to the Divine Throne through Arcane Means

Chapter 1632 - 901: Blood Castle

On the Desolate Flame Plain,On the vast, boundless Desolate Flame Plain, where scorching flames occasionally erupt from beneath the earth, the fire licks every inch of land like an irritable giant beast, distorting the air with its heat.

The boiling waves of heat come one after another, as if an endless tide sweeps mercilessly over this barren land, making it difficult for any life to stand here for long.

However, in the center of this flame-ravaged, seemingly lifeless Desolate Flame Plain, a patch of starkly different dark red land suddenly appeared.

This land is like a peculiar domain dropped here, forming a strong contrast with the surrounding fiery, desolate scene, as if two completely different dimensions clash and collide.

Upon stepping into this blood-colored land, the first thing Lis felt was the starkly opposite aura compared to the Desolate Flame Plain.

Here, the suffocating heat of the Desolate Flame Plain was completely absent, replaced by a bone-chilling cold.

The chill is like an invisible venomous snake, silently climbing up from the ankles, gradually eroding one’s body and soul, causing an involuntary shiver.

The faint blood fog spreads across the plain like ghosts.

They drift lightly and eerily through the air, sometimes gathering, sometimes dispersing, as if hiding some secret.

Through this layer of blood fog, mottled and strange light and shadows fall on the dark red ground, giving a sense of ominous atmosphere.

Amid this pervasive blood fog, several giant dead trees occasionally appear.

These trees are tall and twisted, with trunks so thick it requires several men to wrap their arms around.

They stand silently like giants on the desolate plain, witnessing the vicissitudes of this land.

However, not a single leaf adorns these dead trees; the bare branches stretch like withered arms toward the sky, as if pleading for a trace of life.

Once, this might have been a lush forest, with birds singing on branches and beasts roaming the woods, full of vitality and vigor.

But now, everything has vanished, leaving only this deathly silent plain and these lifeless dead trees, as if time has frozen here, and life has faded away.

Apart from this, the demons wandering on the Desolate Flame Plain have vanished here.

Those demons who once rampaged freely and did evil on the Desolate Flame Plain seem to be intimidated by the mysterious strength of this blood-colored land and dare not cross its boundary.

This place is like a forgotten corner of the Desolate Flame Plain, a cursed forbidden zone.

Once within this eerie plain, Lis deeply sensed the differences of this plain.

In fact, he had found this location according to the coordinates given by Vivian.

Is this where the demigod vampire Timothy, the Blood Erosion Fang, left behind?

Upon entering the plain and coming into contact with the blood fog, Lis felt as if his body was much lighter.

This should be because of his nature as a vampire, which causes this feeling upon entering this area.

However, for other Abyss Demons, this might be a very dangerous place.

Yet...

Lis did not rush to delve into this area but inspected the surrounding region.

He found no traces of living entities.

This not only refers to those Abyss Demons but also means there are no monsters wandering in this blood fog.

After checking around without finding anything unusual, Lis began to explore deeper into this area.

In the long journey through the blood fog, time seemed to lose its meaning, as Lis felt surrounded tightly by the tangible blood fog, each breath bringing stickiness and a sweet, coppery taste.

After an indeterminable period, he acutely sensed the blood fog around him growing thicker.

The light previously faintly visible now was completely blocked out, plunging the entire world into a chaotic dark red.

Meanwhile, a strange, pungent scent of blood began to spread wildly in the air, strong and acrid, drilling into one’s nasal cavities, causing an involuntary retching.

Of course, for Lis, now a vampire, it posed no issue.

Lis furrowed his brow and warily surveyed his surroundings, his steps increasingly cautious.

As he ventured further, the smell of blood grew stronger, as though an invisible force was guiding him toward the centermost part of the blood fog.

Finally, when Lis passed through layers of blood fog and reached the core area, a towering ancient castle appeared before him.

The castle resembled a giant beast lurking in the darkness, exuding a kind of inexplicable eccentric aura.

It had three towering spires, piercing the sky straight up as if trying to puncture the chaotic blood fog.

The castle’s walls were adorned with patterns of blood-colored Other Shore Flowers, carved with exquisite precision, with the petal’s texture clearly visible, as if poised to bloom at any moment and drag one into an Endless Abyss.

The architectural style of this castle is quite unique, reminiscent of the magnificent structures in the thriving cities of the Gaia Main World, rather than being located in this barren land of the Endless Abyss.

It might once have been a stunning and splendid castle, witnessing countless Glory and prosperity, but now things are no longer the same.
