Chapter 1061: Seven Sanguine Stars



Qianye jumped into the well and descended gradually, stopping at the previous place once more . He looked down and saw the seven polar stars vaguely visible in an ocean of star power . It would naturally be easier to sense the star power if he were to go a bit deeper, but Qianye knew that he hadn’t fully recovered . It wouldn’t be worth the effort if he had to spend too much energy staying afloat .

He released the Storm Pearl and observed it quietly for a bit . This wondrous object was a patch of neutral chaos in his vision, neither leaning toward daybreak nor Evernight .

Qianye thought back to the condensation process at this point, and recalled that absorbing small to medium stars would produce different results . His Venus Dawn wasn’t at its peak, and the large daybreak stars had been largely absorbed—it would be even more difficult to activate new large stars .

One could easily tell that this origin crystal was destined to be inferior .

It was at this time that Qianye came up with an idea as he shot out a wisp of dark golden blood energy . Surprisingly, the Storm Pearl absorbed it entirely!

A new horizon opened up in Qianye’s perception .

The world wasn’t just daybreak but also full of Evernight—this well was no exception .

As a human with daybreak origin power, it was only natural that he would put his focus on the daybreak side . Yet, wherever there was daybreak, there would be Evernight as well .

Qianye had only focused on the daybreak side during the condensation process, and under the effects of Venus Dawn, the darker stars turned even darker . Instilling the dark golden blood energy into the Storm Pearl seemed to have removed a shroud over the entire Constellation Well, revealing an entirely different scenery .

The dark-colored stars appeared one after another in Qianye’s vision . The already visible Evernight stars became even more dazzling and began to reveal their characteristics . Several stars expressed themselves in a cinnabar red hue, their colors flowing like blood .



Qianye counted seven such sanguine stars . They were vivid in Qianye’s perception and could be activated at a moment’s notice .

He had no idea that he had sensed two more stars than Anwen had calculated .

Qianye hesitated for a while because he didn’t know what effects a crystal condensed from the dark golden blood energy would have . Such a case was unprecedented .

But there were more than enough Storm Pearls, and there was no reason to stop now that he had already begun . Qianye stopped thinking too much and began injecting dark golden blood energy, consequently activating the sanguine stars .

The activation process went much smoother than expected . All seven stars were woken up in quick succession, and not a single one was left behind .

Qianye quickly understood after some thought . His vampire side was even more powerful than his daybreak side, and his blood energy would’ve reached the marquis-rank if he hadn’t been suppressing it . He wasn’t at all inferior to Edward, and his combat strength was far above his peers due to the dark golden blood energy .

In the wake of the surging star power, Qianye stopped thinking and focused his attention on the origin crystal .

A commotion had broken out above the Constellation Well .

“What’s that? Did I see wrong? He activated all of the vampire stars . Eh… a total of seven, two more than what Anwen said!” Basil cried out while glancing at Edward . “He’s clearing everything in one go! Edward, what will you do afterward?”

Edward looked away with a snort . He paid no attention to Basil, but his expression couldn’t help but turn gloomy .

All the vampires, including Twilight, were livid . As vampires, they had all sensed the wisp of aura that had leaked out from Qianye at the beginning of the condensation process . That degree of majesty and depth was virtually unheard of .



Those Edward had brought along were all elites, and most of them had seen the Lightless Monarch . Qianye’s aura might not be as tyrannical or wanton, but even Medanzo did not possess this degree of profundity and concentration .

Some vampires exchanged glances, reading the same thoughts from each other’s eyes: could the rumors be true? Was Qianye’s bloodline born of a certain prince? Only a handful of princes were active in the entire Vampire race, each of them a hegemon in their land . Even among the twelve major clans, there were only a few that could boast an active prince .

Edward's thoughts, however, were different . Glaring at Qianye from afar, he couldn’t help but entertain thoughts of attacking . At this rate, the man would clear away all the stars beneficial to the vampire race . How was one to condense high-quality origin blood without star power from the large stars?

Edward had already accumulated enough experience . Now that most of the small stars had been cleared, he was planning to make use of his great monarch aura to activate at least one large star . Who would’ve thought Qianye would abandon all the daybreak stars and actually turn his attention to the vampire ones?


The Holy Son turned toward Anwen . “This won’t do, we must stop him!”

Anwen didn’t reply, but Eden said coldly, “What reason do we have to stop him?”

“He’s absorbing from the vampire stars!”

Eden shrugged . “There was no rule against that . Of course, you can draw upon the human stars as well… if you can’t take this lying down . ”

“This joke isn’t funny,” Edward said in a gloomy voice .

Eden also turned serious . “I’m not joking, Your Excellency . If you can’t accept this outcome and feel like you must stop Qianye, please wait until the agreement is over . If you must take action right now, then I apologize, our demonkin race won’t be taking part . ”

Edward’s expression was, of course, unsightly to say the least . The corners of his lips twitched periodically, but he couldn’t find a retort . Without the help of the demonkin, they wouldn’t even be able to defeat a single Qianye, let alone Zhao Ruoxi and her Red Spider Lily . Without the Demoness keeping her busy, that young miss alone could wipe out all the vampires .

Yet, having to give up just like that felt too stifling . He had spent a great fortune for these hexagonal blood rods and brought the best elites from his family . It was just that the demonkin were head and shoulders above them in the younger generation . Even Eden—someone whom Edward didn’t consider a threat at all—had gotten exponentially more powerful and become a threat on the battlefield .

Edward glanced at Basil and fell quiet thereafter . On the surface, it seemed like the vampires and arachne shared a fairly bad relationship, when in fact, the true upper echelon of the race had reserved the greatest degree of caution and hostility for the demonkin race . Edward only learned of this after passing the blood torture and becoming a part of the upper level .

It wasn’t certain Basil would know about this, and even if he did, there was nothing he could do . They wouldn’t be able to beat the Empire even with Basil on their side .

With no way out, Edward could only swallow his anger and glare down the well . Perhaps they would have to wait until the next opening of the Great Maelstrom in order to produce more origin blood . Watching the gradually dimming vampire stars, Edward’s mood became heavier and heavier .

At the bottom of the Constellation Well, the origin crystal in Qianye’s hand had already taken shape . He had never imagined that he could condense origin crystals in such a manner . A crystal formed of dark golden blood energy and star power from vampire stars—was it even usable? Either way, the only thing he could do at this point was to continue . He had already condensed a top-grade origin crystal, so there was no loss in it .

Qianye continued a steady injection of dark golden blood energy, continuing the absorption of star power . His blood energy was still abundant at this point, and the Book of Darkness could provide him with a near-endless supply of essence blood for his blood core to ignite . Hence, he could hold out for fairly long . On the contrary, the seven sanguine stars were insufficient in their star power, and looked like they would fail to hold out until the end .

After discovering this, in order to not leave any regrets, Qianye glanced toward the other Evernight stars .

Qianye saw a fair number of large stars along the way, but they gave off a feeling of impurity and seemed to contain a mixture of strange powers . These were arachne stars . The spiders were rather adaptive and famed for their vitality . Absorbing such a heterogeneous mixture of power wasn’t difficult for them .

Some of the other stars were too dark and incompatible with the vital blood energy of the vampire race . These were naturally demonkin stars . There were also some stars belonging to the werewolves, but the only lycanthrope here was under the firm suppression of Zhao Ruoxi and simply didn’t dare reveal his true appearance .

Qianye was shaken as his gaze swept past a certain star . This celestial body looked rather unassuming, even after he had started condensing his origin crystal with the dark golden blood energy . However, Qianye immediately realized the reason after noticing it .

Its star power contained a pure, unadulterated aura of darkness, one that was close to the peak of darkness origin power and a counterpart of his Venus Dawn . This type of pure darkness origin power was extremely difficult to utilize . Even though Qianye cultivated the Mystery Chapter, the darkness energy produced had to be absorbed by the blood core first, and then converted into dark golden blood energy .

Now that the vampire stars were insufficient, absorbing this darkness power wasn’t without its merits .

At the thought of this, Qianye focused his attention on this star and formed a connection after some time .

Anwen’s expression was full of shock, while Eden’s countenance was just like Edward’s a while ago .

“The dark star! He actually activated the dark star!” No one spoke these words out loud, only in their minds .

The dark star was considered to have been reserved for the Demoness’ use, and Anwen was the only one ambitious enough to even make an attempt . The dark star possessed enough star power to convert two drops of origin blood . Producing two drops of duke-grade origin blood was a big enough contribution for a great dark monarch to personally confer a reward .

Now, however, Qianye had begun drawing upon its star power . Having the carpet pulled out from under them, the Evernight crowd’s setback was self-evident .

Yet, people like Anwen were too prideful to break their word as that was no different from a direct forfeit . Besides, there was nothing they could do with Zhao Ruoxi overseeing the situation .

Their only hope now was that Qianye would leave some star power .

The latter’s endurance and blood energy capacity far exceeded everyone’s expectations . He only stopped after robbing half of the dark star’s power and flew out of the Constellation Well .

“Now what do we do?” All eyes were on Anwen .
