Chapter 20: The Dominion of Darkness

Valerian, now consumed by his insatiable thirst for power, led the blood sect on a ruthless campaign of destruction. No sect in the vicinity of their blood kingdom would be allowed to challenge their authority or exist as a potential threat. The time had come to establish their dominion over the cultivation world with an iron fist.

One by one, nearby sects fell before the might of the blood sect. Valerian's disciples, now empowered as vampire lords, unleashed their devastating blood arts upon their enemies. Cultivators who once held their own against the blood sect now trembled in fear as their defenses crumbled under the onslaught.

Valerian, at the forefront of the battle, wielded the artifact "Betrayal" with deadly precision. Each strike sent shockwaves through the cultivation world, a chilling reminder that the blood sect would brook no opposition. With each victory, Valerian's power grew, his bloodline resonating with the darkness that surrounded him.

As sect after sect fell to the might of the blood sect, Valerian stood before the remnants of their shattered forces, a commanding presence that sent shivers down their spines. He raised his voice, his words echoing through the devastated landscape, and made a declaration that would forever change the cultivation world.

"No sect shall remain in the vicinity of the blood sect. Those who dare to challenge our dominion shall face utter annihilation. We are the darkness that lurks in the shadows, the masters of blood arts, and we will brook no interference. Let this be a warning to all who stand in our way."

His words resonated with a bone-chilling finality. The cultivation world listened in awe and terror, realizing that a new power had risen—one that would stop at nothing to achieve its ambitions. Valerian's proclamation sent shockwaves through the hearts of cultivators far and wide, sowing seeds of fear and trepidation.

Chapter 20 concluded with Valerian's declaration, marking the blood sect as an unstoppable force that would spare no mercy for those who dared to challenge their dominion. The cultivation world stood on the precipice of a new era, one ruled by darkness and the unyielding will of Valerian and his blood sect.

Little did the remaining sects know that their time was running out. Valerian's thirst for power had become an unquenchable flame, and he would stop at nothing until the blood sect reigned supreme over the cultivation world. The stage was set for a battle of epic proportions as the forces of light and darkness prepared to clash in a struggle for ultimate control.
