Bloodless #1 saw the killing intent in Cain's eyes, and a smile appeared. As the enforcer of law and order in the Blood Sea, he saw a lot of himself in the young man.
Before the Blood Duke could say sothing about Cain's petition, Bloodless #1 nodded.
"I can take you to Jason now if you are ready."
Cain's eyes grew sharp as he nodded. He and Bloodless #1 head to the teleportation formation and leave the room.
The Blood Duke saw how all of that happened and sighed. Clearly, his tactics had not only alienated Cain but also created a rift between him and Bloodless #1.

The prison containing the Wave Kings of the Purist Path was located in the lowest level of the Blood Pagoda and went by Blood Prison. Dozens of large blood-tal cages could restrain Wave Kings in that level, and two Peak Wave Champions guarded each.
Two middle-aged n stood guard outside one of those cages. Both were hairless and had white skin, making their connection to the Bloodless Force clear.
A sharp light appeared in their eyes when they saw two figures appear, but they imdiately relaxed when they saw Bloodless #1 appear.
"We welco the Bloodless Leader!"
The duo shouted in unison as they adopted a firm stance, looking forward without moving a muscle. Still, their eyes trembled for a mont when they saw the young man accompanying Bloodless #1.
Guard of the Blood Prison could not leave their post without the express order of Bloodless #1, no matter the catastrophe happening outside, so the duo spent the entire civil war here. Yet, that did not an they did not know about the young man who won ten battles in a row in the Blood Champion Final Tournant, sent the High Blood Elder flying away, and joined the battlefield full of Wave Kings.
Bloodless #1 gave a short nod toward the duo before waving his hand and opening the cage. It was completely dark inside, but as the light reached in, everybody could see Jason with shackles around his arms.
Jason was confused when he saw his door opening. He was full of fury and wanted to get out, but he was sure it would be a long ti before they were let go.
However, when he saw the figure of Cain and Bloodless #1, his instincts began to scream.
"What are you two doing here!?"
Neither Cain nor Bloodless #1 bothered to answer Jason's question, and they just looked at each other before the young man walked in.
Bloodless #1 waved his hand again, making the shackles around Jason's body disappear before closing the gate.
"¡BOOM!"
Less than five seconds after the cage was closed, Bloodless #1 and the two Peak Wave Champions began hearing an explosion from within.
"¡BOOM!" "¡BOOM!" "¡BOOM!" "¡BOOM!"
They beca faster and louder, and even indentation began to appear in the cage due to the powerful blast inside it. Only battles between Wave Kings using every ounce of power inside them could unleash such destructive might.

A Wave King could unleash as much destructive power as a small nuclear weapon. One could imagine the havoc of all that power in a cage smaller than a house.
It took over half an hour for the noises inside the cage to quiet down, and then Bloodless #1 and the two Wave Champions heard a soft tap in the gate.
Bloodless #1 smiled as he opened the gate, showing Cain's bloody figure. The young man had bruises all over his body, and it seed his left arm and shoulder were broken to the point that it no longer worked.
Cain did not say anything and only nodded to the two Peak Wave Champions before leaving the place.
"Clean the cage, and then ask Bloodless #5 for new jobs."
Bloodless #1 commanded the duo before leaving as well.
The Peak Wave Champion remained firm until Bloodless #1 finally left, and only then did they look into the cage, and what they saw filled their hearts with shock and awe.
Jason Samsan, an Early Wave King who trained the Saint Techniques of the Blood Sea, a powerhouse of the Godslayer Humankind Empire, was dead. His body was embedded in the walls of the cage, with a large hole where his heart should be, and there was not a single drop of blood left in his body.
"What a monster!"
One of the middle-aged n could not help but shout when he saw that. Cain had not only killed Jason but also devoured the blood of this one.
Both n looked at each other and nodded. Although Bloodless #1 did not say anything, they knew so things were better forgotten. Once they finish cleaning this place, they will forget everything that happened.

Cain and Bloodless #1 separated after finishing with Jason. The young man was in a room that belonged to one of the strongest powerhouses of the Purist Path that perished during the Blood Sea's Civil War.
A red fog covered the entire room, born out of a combination of Wave and blood vitality extracted from the Blood Sea, making it a perfect place for cultivation.
Thanks to the Sun Seed inside his soul dinsion, the wounds he endured during his battle against Jason were gone, and he was free to cultivate.
There were less than two weeks before the main event of the Century Ascendance of the Blood Moon started, and he wanted to be in his peak condition before that happened.
Unfortunately, Slaughter, the Natural Holy Weapon that worked as a catalyst for this Sonic Blade Fusion Cultivation Technique, had shattered during the Blood Sea Civil War. Luckily, he had already taken care of that.
Cain smiled since there was soone who wanted to enter his room. He sent the signal through his [A.I. Chip Module], and the teleportation matrix began to glow the next second.
A figure appeared in the room, and Cain was surprised to see that it was Shura. Although gathering Slaughter's part was an important task, there was no reason why soone in Shura's position would handle it.
The young woman noticed Cain's surprise but did not say anything and just walked toward him before presenting a small black chest.
"All the pieces of your Natural Holy Weapon are in here. I ask the best Wave Crafters in the Blood Sea, but none can restore sothing of such a high level."
"Thank you for that."
Cain nodded and opened the chest. A sigh erged when he saw the state of Slaughter. He worked very hard and overca all sorts of trials to obtain the weapon, but now it was no longer usable in a fight.
After a mont, he focused on the pieces, and they went back into his heart. Even in their state, they could still assist his cultivation.
Cain then stared at Shura, and the duo exchanged glances in silence for a few minutes before the woman finally opened her mouth.
"Did you figure out that all Blood Champions are of the opposite sex than the Blood Maiden?"
Cain's eyes narrowed when he heard that question from Shura. He had thought about it before and had co to a conclusion.
"The effect of the baptism of the Astral Blood Beast will impact the souls of the Blood Maiden and the Blood Champion. This effect will enhance their bodies and energy, but sothing else exists.
Heritage and blood are extrely important for the Blood Sea, so its most significant event must be related. If my hypothesis is correct, the Astral Blood Best's soul force will also affect our descendants.
Forcing you into a marriage of convenience would lead to severe problems in the future, but there is a way around it. The purpose of the trial of danger was to establish a connection between you and one of the Blood Champions."
Shura displayed a rueful smile upon hearing that. As she expected, Cain had already figured out everything. She softly nodded before gazing at Cain and parting her lips.
"Would you not consider remaining in the Blood Sea? With your power and talent, I am sure the Blood Duke would be more than happy to offer you the position of future Blood Heir. You could rise to beco the next Blood Duke."
Becoming a Titan, and not just any Titan but one leading a substantial force alongside a beautiful wife, was the dream of any man. Yet, Cain's eyes glowed red as he looked back at Shura.
"I am sorry, but I will not stay in the Blood Sea."
Shura trembled for a mont upon hearing that, but she didn't give up and continued to stare at Cain.
"Then what if I follow..."
Before Shura could finish her sentence, Cain interrupted her.
"My path is mine, and I need to follow it alone."
Shura imdiately lowered her face, making sure Cain could not see the moisture in her eyes, before turning around and leaving the room.
Cain saw everything with coldness and apathy, but once he was alone, he sighed, and a sad smile appeared on his face.
