The change was too sudden. No matter how experienced the cultivators of the Nine States were, they had never encountered such a strange situation. After fighting for a long time, the Blood Giant's attacks were very monotonous. It was nothing more than punching and swinging. Although its movements became faster and faster, it didn't seem difficult to dodge.
Thus, no one would have thought that this fellow would be able to grow two more arms.
The Blood Giant's two new arms stretched out.
One clenched into a fist, while the other turned into a palm. They attacked in two different directions.
The place where the fist struck was where the spell cultivators were, including the Sect Leader and Yue Ji. During this period of siege, the spell cultivators had used the most ferocious and intense methods, so the Blood Giant naturally wanted to get rid of them first.
And the location of the palm was where Lu Ye was. No matter how flawed its intelligence was, it could still sense the strong divine nature in Lu Ye's body. Perhaps it didn't understand why Lu Ye didn't listen to its call to fuse with it, but its desire for divine blood was instinctive. That was why it had targeted Lu Ye.
Lu Ye's position was at the outer edge of the battlefield. It wasn't that he was a coward, but that the people present were all his seniors, so in this kind of battle, they were all intentionally or unintentionally protecting him, not allowing him to get too close.
When the palm reached out, the figures in front saw that the situation was not good. They brazenly launched a few attacks, but they couldn't stop it at all.
When Long Bo dodged, he didn't forget to remind Lu Ye, "Run!"
Of course, Lu Ye would run. He had been paying attention to the changes in the Blood Giant's divine nature. He vaguely guessed that when the Blood Giant's divine nature surpassed his own, there would be some changes. In addition, he was standing at the outer circle, so there was room for him to dodge. When the huge hand that covered the sky reached out to grab him, he had already dodged backwards, narrowly avoiding the huge bloody hand. However, the strong wind that it stirred up still made his body unsteady. It was clear to see how powerful this grab was. If he was really grabbed like this, Lu Ye reckoned that he wouldn't be able to escape no matter what. At that time, there was a high chance that he would be crushed to death by the Blood Giant.
He was scared but not in danger. However, the situation on the other side was not so good. Faced with the sudden attack of the fist, the spell cultivators hurriedly used various methods to block it. Some summoned defensive spiritual treasures, while others activated defensive spells.
However, in the face of such a devastating attack, any defense was futile.
The light of the Spirit Treasure dimmed and the protective spells shattered. Under the violent bombardment, several figures were sent flying away like paper kites. All of them coughed up blood and their auras weakened. Only the Sect Leader was able to rely on his powerful physique to remain unharmed. However, his chest was still bleeding profusely.
With two swooshing sounds, two more arms grew out from under the Blood Giant's armpits and attacked in two different directions.
Not only that, but the blood-red vortexes of various sizes on the surface of its body also flashed with blood-red light, turning into blood-red attacks that shot out in all directions.
In an instant, the Blood Giant unleashed its full strength. Although its huge body still looked clumsy, it used all kinds of strange methods to beat the human powerhouses into a sorry state.
Everyone was dodging, and the occasional counterattack was in vain. The situation suddenly became extremely unfavorable for the human side.
Originally, when its holiness was not stronger than Lu Ye's, the Nine Regions cultivators still had the initiative to attack. But when its holiness was stronger than Lu Ye's, it was as if it had gotten rid of an invisible shackle, and there was nothing that could restrict its strength.
What made Lu Ye's heart heavy was that its holiness was still increasing, as if there was no limit.
But Lu Ye knew that this was impossible. The Blood Giant's holiness came from two sources. One was the fusion of more than twenty Blood Race Saint Seeds, and the other was the Saint Blood contained in the blood flowing from the underground Blood River. So, it must have a limit. But right now, it seemed that it had yet to reach its limit.
He had already retreated from the battlefield and was only observing from a distance. It wasn't that he was afraid of fighting, but that he had to pay attention to the changes in the Blood Giant's holiness. Above Jade Pillar Peak, blood-red light flashed continuously.
Human cultivators …
Figures flitted back and forth, and it looked extremely lively, but in reality, every step was filled with danger.
Fortunately, the cultivators participating in the battle were all Ninth Order Divine Sea Realm cultivators. With their coordination, they could temporarily contend with the Blood Giant, but it was hard to say what would happen in the long run.
This kind of confrontation would consume their own strength, and it would take far too long.
However, the cultivators would consume a lot of their strength, and any carelessness could result in them falling into an irrecoverable situation.
The Blood Giant's offensive didn't just consist of the attacks of its six arms and blood-red light, it also had invisible Spiritual Energy attacks. Relatively speaking, these were the attacks that were impossible to guard against.
These Spiritual Energy attacks all came from the Saint Seed heads on its body. These heads, which were embedded in its body like sarcomas, didn't seem to have completely fused. Surprisingly, they still retained the Spiritual Energy of the Saint Seeds when they were alive. At this moment, they couldn't directly participate in the battle, but they could still circulate their Spiritual Energy without hindrance.
This meant that the cultivators of the Nine States weren't just facing the Blood Giant, but also the Spiritual Energy of more than twenty powerful Saint Seeds.
"Who can come up with a plan? We can't continue like this," someone said angrily.
How many years had it been since they had encountered a situation where they could only take a beating without being able to fight back? Everyone felt aggrieved, but there was nothing they could do. More importantly, this situation was destined to not last for long.
But at this moment, who could come up with a plan? Everyone was doing their best to dodge the Blood Giant's frenzied attacks, and also to protect their Spiritual Energy from being disturbed by the Saint Seeds.
It could be said that these peak experts of the Nine States were constantly walking on the edge of life and death. Thrilling was no longer enough to describe their situation. "Brat Yi Ye, have you seen anything? If you haven't, we need to retreat," Long Bo called out loudly.
As a result, Lu Ye was the most relaxed out of everyone. This was because he had jumped out of the battlefield after dodging the Blood Giant's attack and had been secretly observing the situation the entire time. Lu Ye was the best at dealing with Saint Seeds. Over the past two months, over a hundred Saint Seeds had died at his hands. Moreover, he had the experience of turning the tide in the insect race's great secret realm back in the Nine States.
As a result, when he saw Lu Ye secretly observing the situation, Long Bo felt that there was hope, which was why he asked this question.
If even Lu Ye didn't have a way to deal with this situation, then everyone could only retreat for now. They couldn't really have a battle to the death with the Blood Giant here, after all.
Based on the current situation, the Blood Giant was indeed powerful enough, so powerful that over a hundred of them were helpless against it.
But in the end, it still hadn't exceeded the limits of this world's heritage. The size and heritage of the Blood Refining World was similar to that of the Nine States. The Blood Giant was born here, but in terms of strength, it hadn't broken through the Spirit Sea Realm because this world wasn't strong enough to give birth to a stronger existence. This was also the fundamental reason why the cultivators of the Nine States could barely deal with it. If the Blood Giant was truly an existence that had completely surpassed the Spirit Sea Realm, then no one here would be able to escape.
This wasn't the insect nest in the insect race's great secret realm, so they weren't trapped here. If they really wanted to escape, it wouldn't be a problem.
As for what to do next, they could only plan for the long term. Conscripting an army to encircle and suppress the Blood Giant might be a good idea, but it might not work. Under such a ferocious attack from all directions, only a Ninth Order Divine Sea Realm cultivator would be able to deal with it. Other cultivators wouldn't even be able to get close.
"Hold on a little longer," Lu Ye shouted loudly.
Long Bo's eyes lit up when he heard this. Although Lu Ye didn't give him a clear answer, this sentence made him feel that this little brat probably had some kind of method.
The battle was still fierce, but from the looks of it, the Blood Giant was crazily attacking while the cultivators of the Nine States were fleeing in all directions.
Lu Ye was still observing. The good news was that the increase in the Blood Giant's Saint Attribute was greatly weakening. Although it was still increasing, the speed was slower than before.
This also meant that the Saint Blood in its body had almost been completely refined, so even if it could still increase, it would be reaching its limit.
Lu Ye let out a long breath!
This situation was exactly what he had been waiting for, and also what he hoped to see. If the Blood Giant's Saint Attribute continued to increase endlessly, then there was really no way to fight this battle. He could only do as Long Bo said and retreat first.
"Seniors, please wait for a moment, I'll be back soon."
After saying this, Lu Ye's figure flashed and he flew out.
No one knew where he was going or what he was going to do at this critical moment, but everyone knew that when Lu Ye returned, it might be the time for a life or death battle with the Blood Giant.
Unavoidable Period
Staying here, they became more and more careful.
If they weren't careful enough at this time and were killed or injured by the Blood Giant, then it wouldn't be worth it.
Lu Ye flew for two hundred li before coming to a stop. He had long since left the battlefield at the top of Jade Pillar Peak, but when he looked back, he could still see the intense battle there. Many blood-red lights pierced through the sky, almost breaking through the clouds.
Lu Ye began to set up a teleportation formation.
At the same time, several thousand li away from here, his clone, who was wearing the scarlet dragon battle robe and had a sword gourd hanging from his waist, stopped and began to set up a formation.
Ever since Lu Ye realized that the key to today's battle was to suppress the Blood Giant's Saint Attribute, his clone had begun to rush over.
Through the transit of the nearby Tianji Pillar, it actually didn't take long for his clone to rush over to the battlefield. However, time was tight at the moment, so his main body ran out to meet his clone. This was to save as much time as possible. In just a few moments, the teleportation formation in front of his clone was set up. The clone stepped into the formation and poured his spiritual power into it. Under the distortion of space, his figure disappeared.
When he reappeared, he was already in front of his main body.
Lu Ye raised his hand and pressed it against his clone. In the next instant, the clone disappeared, leaving only the scarlet dragon battle robe and the sword gourd on the ground.
His main body, however, shook. A huge amount of Saint Attribute poured into his body, causing his blood and Qi to surge and his spiritual power to surge.
