Aldrian looked at his feet, which he could feel were being grasped by the red mist. He was pulled toward the ground, and he could feel the blood flow in his feet becoming chaotic. It was as if the blood inside his feet was trying to burst from every vein.

Aldrian thought that this devil was trying to incapacitate him by bursting the veins in his feet so it would hinder his movement.

But Aldrian's expression did not show much change. This devil wanted to control his blood and burst his veins? That was something he could not do.

He knew which devil was doing this to him, and he knew that with that devil's level, there was no way he could do any harm to him. He could try to control the blood flow inside Aldrian's feet, but that was the most he could do. His veins would not burst because the blood laws from this devil were not strong enough.

Without much effort, he returned the favour by trying something new as well.

Blood laws were one of the laws he had comprehended after he absorbed many of his past followers' comprehension. Some of them had comprehended blood laws, and they were more powerful than anyone from this heaven.

Although he could not entirely absorb their comprehension and use many of their technique because of his cultivation limitation, it was enough to shape his foundation in mastering many laws.

But, although he had comprehended them and could use their laws, he did not use most of them. He simply thought that he did not need to because what he had currently was already enough. He would use any of them only if he thought he needed it.

Now that there was a chance for him to try blood laws, he would try it. He focused his mind and tried to trigger his blood laws. As he grasped the sensation of control over the blood laws, he then struck back.

'Blood curse.'

This was the technique he had comprehended from his past followers and could use at this moment. The red mist that seemed to grab his feet suddenly trembled and then dispersed. In the place not far from him, a devil suddenly shouted in agony as if he had just received great pain.

"Argghh!"

The devil was actually hidden using his concealment technique between the buildings in the town. His figure became visible as he shouted, grabbing his head and writhing on the ground like a worm that touched a grain of salt. This devil was actually the strongest devil here, the one who took charge of this place.

His body spasmed and blood started to flow from all of his body's orifices. His eyes turned red and blood flowed from them as well. The veins on his body became visible and his entire skin turned red. Although he was a vampire who had comprehended blood laws, ironically the blood in his body was the very thing torturing him.

He felt excoriating pain throughout his entire body, and even his soul was affected as it turned red like blood. The blood inside him had turned into the medium of a curse that would give him extreme pain until his death.

This was a terrifying curse technique that could strike the target as long as the caster was connected to the target through something. With this devil using his blood laws technique on Aldrian, he had already made himself the target of this curse.

The devil wanted to withstand the pain, but he did not know how. The agony inside his body intensified to the point where he could not think of anything except the pain. His body kept convulsing for a moment until it finally stopped.

The devil died in a dreadful way, his body drenched in blood. Even in death, his expression showed extreme pain.

For this devil who was only at the pseudo immortal establishment stage, there was no way he could withstand the blood curse from Aldrian.

After killing the strongest devil here, Aldrian then returned his focus to the battlefield. His troops had already taken more than half of the town, and there were no casualties. He continued what he was doing, killing any escaping devils and helping cover his troops when they encountered a strong opponent.

As time passed, the devils' numbers kept dwindling until they were pushed to one side of the town. The devils were trapped, with the town's defensive wall behind them while Aldrian's troops kept pushing forward. Even if the devils tried to escape past the wall, Aldrian, who was watching from the sky, would instantly kill them.

There were no more than a hundred devils left, and all of them were like fish on a chopping board, waiting to be killed. As if knowing their end was inevitable, these devils then decided to commit suicide by blowing up their dantian.

Aldrian, knowing what they would do, wanted to make a move, but before he could do anything to those devils, blinding light shone over the surrounding area. The moment the light receded, the devils were already dead, their bodies severed into many parts. Xin Haotian was already standing among the corpses with a bloodied sword in his hand.

His breath was slightly shallow as he showed his fatigue after battling many devils and using his domain again. He took a deep breath and looked at the sky where Aldrian was before lifting his sword and cleaning the blood off it by sweeping it hard to the side.

Aldrian smiled when he saw this and shifted his gaze in another direction. His troops had already stopped their movement the moment they saw the blinding light and the dead devils. They knew the battle in this town was finally over.

"Good job to all of you! Now you could take a rest without worry. Enjoy your resting time as best as possible because we will continue our battle in another place later. I will spread energy replenishment pills for you, and we will depart after all of you replenish your energy entirely." Aldrian shouted, which made the troops sigh before they began looking for a place to rest.

Normally, after a battle, the troops would check the place they occupied for any devils or any things they could take as spoils of war. They would also check if there were any dangerous things in the area to prevent unnecessary accidents.

However, for Aldrian and his troops, they would not do that this time. Before departing, they had already agreed with Aldrian's method in their battles. They would carry out what he called "quick conquests", which meant they had to conquer a number of places in one day.

Because they had to move fast, they would have to skip some procedures regarding the aftermath of the battle, just like now.

To do that, Aldrian had already prepared many pills to return his troops to their perfect condition after each battle. If their energy was depleted, he gave them energy replenishment pills. If they were injured, he gave them healing pills.

Today, their targets were three places where the devils gathered, two towns and one fortress. If they kept their speed of conquest like this, then they would meet other powers of the Ancient Blue Gate World in the far east in no more than five days.

The other powers were also expanding their territory, so they would undoubtedly meet each other, and that was part of their plan. The devils' room for movement would become narrower and narrower until they were forced to gather at one point in the future.

At that time, they would finally liberate this world from the devils.

After resting for two hours, Aldrian and his troops finally continued their conquest journey. Aldrian made the entire town they had just taken into his domain, so there would be no problems in that place.

That was also one of the reasons he dared to bypass the aftermath procedures of the battle. With his domain, he could make sure that there were no problems in any place they had already conquered.

Aldrian and his troops later arrived at the next town, and just like the earlier town, they followed the same strategy. This time, their teamwork seemed even more solid, and it made the battle end much faster. The town fell in less than an hour after the battle started.

They then took another rest for the next two hours before departing for the fortress. This fortress was located on top of a hill, a very strategic place to build one. It would be easy to defend but difficult to attack.

They had already prepared for a fierce battle here, knowing it would be very different from attacking the towns earlier.

However, the moment they arrived, the fierce battle they expected did not happen. That was because the moment they reached the fortress, they discovered that it had already been abandoned!

But when they entered the fortress, there were already many signs that the devils who defended this place had planned this abandonment. There were no treasures, and some of the buildings had been burned to the ground. The barrier formation that protected the fortress was also broken.

The devils had destroyed many things before abandoning the fortress so the enemy could not utilize it.

They did not know where the devils were going. The devils might have escaped somewhere, or they might have made a tactical retreat to a gathering point that they still did not know.

But even though this was unexpected, they had already reached their planned targets for today and decided to stay in the fortress for the night. They would continue their advance tomorrow.
