It wasn't until Lu Ye cut him down that he was able to clearly see his opponent's appearance.
He was less than a meter tall, and his figure was thin. At first glance, he seemed to be malnourished, but his exposed skin was inscribed with extremely profound markings. Those markings crisscrossed each other, and all of them revealed a pitch black color and revealed an extremely strange aura. 4
There was no doubt that these patterns were tattoos, and they were obvious tattoos.
In the Nine Provinces, there were cultivators who liked to tattoo their bodies with obvious tattoos to show off their unique style. Moreover, these tattoos could often play a special role.
This was especially true for body cultivators and ghost cultivators. Body cultivators could use defensive tattoos to increase their defensive capabilities, while ghost cultivators could use special tattoos to increase their explosive power and concealment abilities.
Lu Ye also had tattoos on his body, the Void Tattoo on the back of his hand, which his master had given him. With this tattoo as the core, he had constructed a storage space. However, the tattoos in the Nine Provinces were clearly different from the ones Lu Ye saw.
The tattoos in the Nine Provinces were man-made, but the ones in front of him were natural.
In other words, this dead guy had these tattoos since birth. It wasn't just him. Every member of his race was like this.
The ghost race!
Among the several major sects in the cultivation world, ghost cultivators were the most adept at concealment and assassination, and the ghost race was the natural ancestor of this path.
According to Yang Qing, the reason why the ghost cultivators had appeared in the human race was because they had slowly evolved and developed from the ghost race.
Thus, if one were to compare the races of the starry sky, which race was the most adept at concealment and assassination, it would undoubtedly be the ghost race.
Lu Ye had only heard of it before, but this time, he had truly witnessed the power of the ghost race. When his clone was ambushed, he couldn't react at all. Moreover, the other party had immediately fled after succeeding. If he hadn't spread out the Blood Sea in time, he really wouldn't have been able to catch him.
He had seen ghost cultivators of all shapes and sizes in the Nine Provinces. Impermanence was one of the strongest, but even Impermanence would not have been so simple to kill him before ascending to the Constellation Realm.
Lu Ye's Soul was extremely powerful and his perception was extremely sharp. Although he had just won a battle and was somewhat relaxed, it was not to the extent that he would not notice someone approaching him from behind.
In this world, under the premise of the same realm, only ghost cultivators could do such a thing. If it were any other race, no matter how proficient they were in concealment and assassination, they would not be able to succeed.
The encounter this time allowed him to remind himself in his heart. Even though everything had gone smoothly so far and he'd even obtained some gains, he couldn't underestimate the cultivators of other sects because of this. In a battle at this level, the slightest underestimation might bring about an immeasurable calamity.
After dealing with the Ghost Clan's corpse, there weren't many spoils of war. There was only an ordinary-looking but extremely sharp Spiritual Treasure short blade.
The Ghost Clan was not tall, and because they were good at sneak attacks, they did not use weapons that were too big. Short blades or daggers were their standard weapons. The quality was not bad.
Looking to the side, there was a big hole in the doppelganger's chest, and the Scarlet Dragon Battle Robe was dyed red. If it were a normal person, such an injury would have already killed him, but the doppelganger was fine.
The doppelganger's essence was based on half of the Talent Tree. Lu Ye's Qi, Blood, Spiritual Power, and even Soul Power were condensed. Strictly speaking, it was a pure energy body, so unless it was completely destroyed, the doppelganger would not die.
The penetrating wound in the chest had long been healed, but the Scarlet Dragon Battle Robe could not be healed, so it looked a little miserable.
The experience just now was undoubtedly very dangerous. If the Ghost Clan's target was not the doppelganger but the main body, it was very likely that the main body would have been seriously injured! Lu Ye was not worried about dying. Although the doppelganger could basically use all his abilities, the strength of their physiques was completely different.
The doppelganger was just an energy body, so it was impossible for it to have a strong physique like his. If the Ghost Clan really attacked the main body, it would not have been able to penetrate the chest with a single blow.
From this point of view, the Ghost Clan probably saw something and deliberately attacked the doppelganger.
Because he probably also knew that even if he really attacked the main body, he might not be able to succeed.
Persimmons were always easy to pinch.
The doppelganger changed into a set of clothes and quickly left. It was a pity that the Scarlet Dragon Battle Robe was destroyed. Lu Ye liked this protective treasure robe from the War Merit Pavilion, and it was also the iconic attire of Sword Cultivator Li Dabai. Now that it was damaged and difficult to repair, he could only put it away as a souvenir.
The huge sea of blood had been put away by Lu Ye, but it was not completely withdrawn. Around him, there was still a rich blood color lingering.
As far as the eye could see, it was like a small blood cloud, only about ten feet in radius. Because it was more condensed, the blood cloud was red, as if it was burning.
Standing in the sea of blood, Lu Ye silently sensed.
When he was looking for the Ghost Clan, he vaguely felt something unusual, but at that time, he was focused on finding the Ghost Clan, so he did not have time to distinguish it carefully. 3
At this moment, he calmed down and investigated, but there was no abnormality.
This made him puzzled.
At his level of cultivation, it was impossible for his senses to be wrong. The only difference was whether it was blurry or clear. He carefully recalled the scene from back then, raised a hand and gently stroked it. Ripples spread out in all directions, spreading towards the blood cloud.
He had originally thought that it was because of the method he had used, but after some testing, he found that this was not the case. There was still no abnormality. Unable to understand, unable to investigate, Lu Ye could not continue to dwell on this question. He could only withdraw the sea of blood and continue on his way.
However, that strange feeling appeared again at this moment. It was vague and indescribable, as if there was something in a certain direction of the Alpha-Origin that had formed a secret connection with his sea of blood.
Lu Ye was greatly surprised. Was there some great treasure belonging to the Blood Race in the Alpha-Origin Stage? Why else would it give him such a feeling? He hurriedly analyzed it and finally confirmed the direction of the connection, which was to the left.
Without any hesitation, he urged his blood cloud to fly in that direction.
Along the way, he constantly felt that the guidance coming from that direction was intermittent. Sometimes, he could not detect it for a long time, and sometimes, it would come several times in half a day. Moreover, the direction was not constant.
The general direction did not change, which was to the left, but the specific location was constantly changing.
Lu Ye guessed that he was wrong. It should not be some great treasure belonging to the Blood Race that had appeared. It was most likely something else. He could not help but feel excited. If the situation was as he thought, things would be interesting. 2
Ever since entering the Alpha-Origin stage and encountering the first Blood Race cultivator, Zhou Fang, Lu Ye had been thinking about how he could do something to the Blood Race cultivators participating in the battle for the Divine Sea. After all, killing Blood Race cultivators was the most convenient for him. However, he did not have any good ideas. This place was too large, and it was very difficult to encounter other cultivators in the early stages, let alone specific ones.
Yes.
But if it was really another situation, it would be a pleasant surprise. He did not need to do anything, as the other party would be able to do it for him.
At the same time as Lu Ye set off, at the edge of the platform where cultivators from different worlds gathered under the Reincarnation Tree, an old man with white hair and a beard reached out and stroked his beard, "Nephew, your friend is quite amazing. He is only an Eighth Order Divine Sea cultivator. I dare not say that no one will be able to reach this level in the future, but it is definitely unprecedented. "
Du Lang looked at Lu Ye's name on the pillar to the right of the door and laughed, "I didn't expect him to be so powerful. "
The old man and the young man were originally preparing to leave here and return to the Red Sky Continent, but after Du Lang saw Lu Ye's name appear in the eleventh position, the old man decided to stay. Because he could see that Du Lang seemed to want to know what the end result of this so-called 'friend' was.
Du Lang did not refuse. It was a matter of two months anyway, so there was no hurry.
Now, in the top 100 list on the right, the name of Lu Yi Ye from the Nine Heavens World had risen to the seventh position. Compared to before, it had risen by four places. Obviously, this was not the result of killing one person, but at least two, or even three, to have such an increase.
Du Lang was sure that this Lu Yi Ye was the one he met in the Spirit Jade Lode, but he really did not expect him to be so powerful.
He could not help but secretly rejoice that he did not have any malicious intent because of Lu Ye's low cultivation. With Lu Ye's current performance, if he had any malicious intent, he was afraid that grass would have grown on his grave by now.
"If this child can come out alive, he will definitely become a great person in the future. Nephew, such a person is worthy of befriending." The old man said slowly. 1
Du Lang did not comment. Before befriending Lu Ye, he did not know how strong he was or what his future would be. For him, if he felt that someone was worthy of befriending, then he would befriend him. If his temperament did not match, no matter how great his potential was, he was not willing to flatter others.
He was just a little regretful.
Due to his heavy responsibility, he was unable to participate in the following battles. Otherwise, he would be able to fight side by side with Brother Lu and experience his might up close. He wanted to show Brother Lu the difference between himself and these elite geniuses.
While the old man and the young man from the Scarlet Sky Continent were paying attention to the changes in Lu Ye's ranking, the masters from other worlds naturally noticed as well.
Among several thousand Ninth Order Divine Sea cultivators, only one Eighth Order had achieved such a high ranking, so it was difficult for anyone not to pay attention to him. Everyone thought that Lu Ye's temporary eleventh place might be due to luck, but when his ranking suddenly shot up, everyone knew that this was no longer something that could be explained by luck alone. This was a manifestation of strength, and if it was just pure luck, then Lu Ye's strength would be even greater. If it was just pure luck, then the ranking would constantly fall, and it would be impossible for it to rise.
Thinking back to Yang Qing's domineering action of throwing a Nine Star treasure into the Treasure Pond, it was obvious that he had great confidence in his juniors! 3
