In the blood river, Lu Ye's body shook as he clearly felt something invade his body.
He hurriedly checked his Talent Tree. Under normal circumstances, anything that invaded his body and was harmful to him would be burned by the Talent Tree.
But what surprised him was that the Talent Tree did not react at all. This was somewhat abnormal.
But soon, Lu Ye found out where the blood shadow had gone, because at this moment, his Spirit Sea suddenly became turbulent. If it were not for the Soul Suppressing Pagoda, he was afraid he would have become dizzy and lost his mind.
He hurriedly stabilized his body and his Divine Sense surged. In the next moment, his Soul Avatar condensed in his Spirit Sea.
Looking up, sure enough, there was a blood-red figure in his Spirit Sea. Just as he had seen before, a figure with a human outline and an evil aura.
It was not that the Talent Tree was incompetent, but that the Talent Tree was powerless against this kind of invasion.
The Innate Skill Tree existed in his Source Spiritual Cavity, which was the location of his Dantian. At first, the Innate Skill Tree could burn away all the energy flowing through his Source Spiritual Cavity, eliminating anything that was harmful to Lu Ye. But as Lu Ye developed the Innate Skill Tree's abilities, the range of this burning increased. Now, in theory, as long as it was a place his body could touch, the Innate Skill Tree could burn and devour it.
But the range of the Talent Tree's burning range did not include the Spirit Sea. Because the Spirit Sea was the place where a cultivator's Spirit was condensed, the Talent Tree could not easily burn it, so as to avoid any damage to the Spirit. If the Spirit was really damaged, the cultivator would become mentally retarded.
Lu Ye had felt this as early as when he fought with Liu Yuemei.
That day, Liu Yuemei used some kind of treasure to force her way into his Spirit Sea as a Soul Avatar and fought with him.
At that time, the Talent Tree did not react at all.
This blood shadow should be the core of the Blood Giant. The Blood Giant's body collapsed, but it still remained. It wantonly rushed into Lu Ye's Spirit Sea, inadvertently avoiding the Talent Tree's power.
Its goal was very simple, it wanted to take over Lu Ye's body and seize it.
Possession!
Lu Ye had only seen this kind of thing in some ancient records. At that time, he only felt that the cultivation world was full of strange things, but he had never heard of any cultivator in the Nine Provinces who had such a method.
He had never thought that he would encounter such a situation one day.
He could only sigh at his good luck. In the sea of blood, there were hundreds of cultivators from the Nine Continents. Why did Blood Shadow choose him?
?
If it was his good luck, then it was naturally Blood Shadow's bad luck.
At this moment, a large expanse of blood-red light appeared behind Xue Ying, attempting to envelop Lu Ye's sea of consciousness. The blood-red light clearly possessed great corrosive power. Once Lu Ye's sea of consciousness was completely invaded by the blood-red light, the entire sea of consciousness would belong to Xue Ying. His soul would either be destroyed or become Xue Ying's vassal. Neither of these was a situation that Lu Ye could accept.
Fortunately, Lu Ye's soul was strong enough, and there was the Soul Suppressing Pagoda in his Divine Sea. As the blood-red light spread, the Soul Suppressing Pagoda also bloomed with a pure white light, resisting the blood-red light's corrosion.
Having the experience of fighting over souls with Liu Yuemei, Lu Ye was now familiar with the process. He raised his hand and grabbed at the void, and a long saber appeared in his hand.
It looked exactly the same as the Pan Shan Saber, but it was the Soul Severing Saber!
Last time, he'd used this saber to cut Liu Yuemei into pieces.
As his figure moved, the seawater in the Deity Ocean also rose and fell, turning into fierce waves that followed closely behind him and spread to both sides.
Seeing Lu Ye's fierce attacks, Blood Shadow still wanted to dodge, but a waterspout rushed out from below the Divine Sea, binding it like a rope.
This was Lu Ye's Divine Sea, his home ground. The water of the Divine Sea was the manifestation of his soul's power. Any enemy who fought in this place would have to suffer the disadvantage of being in a geographical location.
Liu Yuemei had suffered greatly before, and now it was Blood Shadow's turn.
It could only be said that Blood Shadow had chosen Lu Ye out of so many other targets. It was truly a tragedy.
Blood Shadow barely managed to break free of the waterspout before it could dodge, and Lu Ye's saber slashed into its body. A gash immediately appeared on Blood Shadow's body, but no blood flowed out.
Lu Ye didn't know what Blood Shadow's true nature was, but since it could so easily invade his Divine Sea, it should have something to do with his soul's power. However, since it was the Blood Giant's core, it was very likely that it was an existence that existed in between reality and illusion.
Even without a mouth or nose, Lu Ye heard a shrill scream the moment the Soul Severing Saber struck Blood Shadow. That scream was formed by the fluctuations of soul's power.
An existence like Blood Shadow was simply the bane of the Soul Severing Saber. Being struck head-on like this, Blood Shadow naturally didn't have a good ending.
Lu Ye didn't show any mercy. The Pan Shan Saber in his hand danced endlessly, transforming into a ball of saber light that enveloped Blood Shadow.
Blood Shadow screamed incessantly as wounds appeared on Blood Shadow's body. Although those wounds were slowly healing, they weren't as fast as Lu Ye's attacks. In just a few short moments, Blood Shadow's body was covered in countless wounds, and its entire body was in tatters.
Blood Shadow was clearly panicking.
Originally, it had been fighting with all its might. If it succeeded, not only would it be able to escape death, but it would also immediately obtain a new life. Blood Shadow didn't have much intelligence, and it had chosen Lu Ye mostly out of instinct. This was because Lu Ye's cultivation was the lowest among everyone present, so it would be the easiest to kill. It was also because Lu Ye was the only one with a powerful divine nature. This was extremely attractive to Blood Shadow.
Thus, it hadn't chosen Lu Ye unintentionally, but instinctively.
In the end, not only had it failed, but it had also fallen into an even more dangerous situation.
In the previous battle, Lu Ye hadn't done much, mainly because he was the only one who could suppress the Blood Giant. He had to ensure his own safety first. Being in such an intense battle, his fighting spirit had long since surged. He never thought that he would have the opportunity to personally participate.
In just a few short moments, Blood Shadow had been defeated like the wind. It instinctively wanted to escape from this dangerous world because it had already sensed that if it didn't leave now, it really would die here.
However, while it had come easily, it wasn't so easy to leave.
After all, this was Lu Ye's home ground. Before he attacked, Lu Ye had already considered the possibility that his opponent would escape, so he immediately activated the power of the Deity Ocean, using the water of the Deity Ocean to surround the battlefield.
If Blood Shadow wanted to leave, it would first have to break through the blockade of the Deity Ocean's water. Perhaps it had the ability to do so without any interference, but at this moment, Lu Ye was relentlessly pursuing it, so it had no time to break through the blockade of the sea water.
The sharp, ear-piercing screeches hadn't stopped since the beginning. This battle was much simpler and easier than the Battle of Souls with Liu Yuemei. It was also far less intense than the battle against the Blood Giant just now. This was a simple battle where Lu Ye crushed his opponent in all aspects.
Blood Shadow tried to escape, but there was nowhere to run. The Soul Severing Blade in Lu Ye's hand never left its side, constantly causing it harm.
Blood Shadow's aura became weaker and weaker, and its figure became thinner and thinner.
Until a certain moment, Lu Ye's long blade swept out, and a dazzling light suddenly shot out from the Deity Ocean, as if a great sun had risen above the sea.
The great sun suddenly exploded, and in an even more dazzling light, a lotus flower formed by the blade light slowly bloomed.
The third form of the Tyrant Blade, Lotus Sun! 1
Lu Ye's figure stood in the center of the lotus flower, and there was no trace of Blood Shadow in front of him. Only a speck of fluorescent light floated above the Soul Severing Blade.
The light gradually disappeared, the raging waves subsided, and the turbulent Deity Ocean calmed down. Lu Ye looked at the speck of light with rapt attention and raised his eyebrows slightly.
Blood Shadow had been killed, but it had left behind this speck of light.
He couldn't figure out what this speck of light was.
He raised the Soul Severing Blade and tried to slash it a few times, but he couldn't cut it. However, after carefully sensing it, he could tell that this thing didn't seem to be harmful to him.
Lu Ye raised his hand and grabbed at the speck of light.
With a grab, the speck of light melted into his palm like snowflakes, and in the next moment, a lot of information inexplicably appeared in his mind.
Lu Ye calmed his mind and carefully examined it.
He soon figured out the true identity of the speck of light. It was a trace of Blood Shadow's spirit. The Blood Shadow had been defeated, but this trace of spirit had survived, but it wouldn't last for long. Even if Lu Ye didn't care about it, it would soon die.
However, Lu Ye's actions allowed him to obtain a lot of information from the remnant spirit.
Little Nine was right. The Will of Heaven and Earth in this world was not a pure Will of Heaven and Earth. That was why it possessed a sliver of intelligence. When it sensed that it could not compete with Little Nine, it withdrew from the battlefield where it was fighting Little Nine and turned to open up a new battlefield.
That Blood Shadow could be regarded as the World Will of this world!
Under normal circumstances, this was impossible. The Will of Heaven and Earth was the aggregation of the complex information of the entire world. It was vast, ethereal, and untouchable. It was impossible for it to be manifested in a form that could be observed, let alone a bloody shadow like that.
However, the special characteristics of Blood Refining Realm had caused this situation to occur.
The information Lu Ye obtained was very messy. After all, the Blood Shadow had been killed, so the remaining information in the last trace of spirit was naturally incomplete.
But from this messy information, he still learned a lot of unknown truths.
The most important point was that a bold guess he had before was actually true!
Blood Refining Realm was really the remains of a powerful female life form after her death! 2
It was impossible to find out how such a powerful creature died. This was destined to be an extremely ancient secret. They only knew that her ruined body drifted about in the void for countless years, turning into a realm, and then giving birth to living creatures.
The underground blood river that covered Blood Refining Realm was the blood vessels of this dead powerhouse, and the blood that flowed through it was her blood.
This was also the fundamental reason why the Blood Race had bloodline inheritances. When the Blood Fetus was hatched in the blood river, it imperceptibly received the many mysteries contained in the blood, so it was born with knowledge. 6
