Lu Ye's expression was grave as he watched the approaching crimson light. Thoughts churned in his mind as he tried to think of a way to defeat the enemy.
Using the Twin Qi Connected Formation Disk might be a solution. The wood spirits and the spore race had a few late-stage Constellations, so they could definitely gather enough manpower to form the Black Tortoise Formation. But even so, could they really contend against Yue Yao's mid-stage or late-stage Constellations?
A group of late-stage Constellations could probably contend against Yue Yao's early-stage Constellations, but it would be far too difficult to deal with a mid-stage or late-stage Constellation.
Moreover, if the wood spirits and spore race's late-stage Constellations were to be mobilized, it might affect the stability of the spore cloud. The spore cloud was only able to protect the members of the two races because all the Constellations of the two races were working together to control it.
If the spore cloud lost its stability, the two races might suffer heavy casualties.
As such, Lu Ye only pondered for a moment before dismissing the idea of borrowing strength from the wood spirits and spore race. He could only use this as his final backup plan.
Since that was the case, he could only fight Yue Yao alone.
Fortunately, his opponent was a Blood Tribe member, so he had a huge advantage against Blood Tribe members. Moreover, he wasn't alone, so Li Shang could provide him with considerable assistance.
He made up his mind and transmitted his voice to Mu He and Black Umbrella, "Take your clansmen and leave first. I'll stop him!" If they really couldn't stop him, then they would have to work together with the spore race and wood spirits.
With that, he took the initiative to charge forward. Li Shang didn't say a word as he opened his arms and dove into Lu Ye's body.
Mu He and Black Umbrella couldn't stop him in time. They could only watch as Lu Ye rushed forward. Gritting his teeth, he activated the spore cloud with all his might and fled.
Xue Hao saw the spore cloud from afar, and his eyes were filled with cold killing intent.
He had set out from this realm and rushed to the Blue Jade Realm first, but there was no one there. There were only a large number of Blood Tribe corpses left behind, which filled him with grief.
He chased after them without stopping because he knew that the spore race and wood spirits would seek refuge with the Reincarnation Tree, so he didn't change his direction. After a long time, he finally caught up to them.
At this moment, seeing a stream of light rushing out from the spore cloud towards him, Xue Hao hurriedly activated his vision to take a look. With a glance, he was overjoyed because he saw the figure that many of his clan's powerhouses had been yearning for in the stream of light.
Before his clan's Star Constellation died, she used the Blood Life Technique to send back information. That Lu Yiye of the Nine Heavens was indeed here. His trip here was not in vain.
Lu Ye's expression became even more serious as he gradually discovered that this Blood Tribe member was at the late stage of the Moon Jade Realm.
They were in big trouble now!
If Lu Ye was only at the middle stage, he might have a chance. But Lu Ye was at the late stage, so he wasn't sure.
But now that things had come to this, there was no way to retreat. He could only brace himself and go forward.
A dense bloody light suddenly blossomed from Xue Hao's body, transforming into a bloody cloud. Even though he was at the late stage of the Moon Jade Realm against a late stage Star Constellation, he couldn't afford to be careless. Lu Yiye of the Nine Heavens was too important, so he had to capture him as soon as possible and put an end to any thoughts of escape. That was why he had activated his Blood Art to prevent Lu Yiye from fleeing. Otherwise, he wouldn't have needed to make such a grand display against a junior who was far weaker than him.
He activated the bloody cloud on his side, filling the air with a heaven-encompassing aura. Suddenly, his expression froze as he saw a surge of bloody light blossoming in front of him, also transforming into a bloody cloud in an extremely short amount of time.
This Lu Yiye … actually cultivated a Blood Dao Secret Art!
Xue Hao snorted coldly. "How laughable!"
Blood Dao Secret Arts originated from the Blood Tribe. The Blood Dao Secret Arts cultivated by the various major races were all adapted from the Blood Tribe's Secret Arts. Anyone with a bit of common sense would know that one shouldn't play around with Blood Dao Secret Arts in front of a Blood Tribe member. Otherwise, they would be the one to suffer.
However, Xue Hao had to admit that Lu Yiye's attainments in Blood Dao Secret Arts were extremely profound. This could be seen from the size and scale of the bloody cloud. Even the late stage Star Constellation of the Blood Tribe couldn't compare to Lu Yiye's Blood Dao Secret Arts.
This probably wasn't just a matter of how high one's attainments were. It also had a lot to do with the abundance of Lu Yiye's blood and Qi.
'This isn't bad. Once I capture Lu Yiye, I'll absorb his Saint Blood and devour his blood and Qi. It'll be a small supplement,' Xue Hao thought to himself.
In the starry sky, the two bloody seas collided. There was no suspense. Lu Ye's bloody cloud was instantly at a disadvantage.
As the boundless bloody light spread out, his bloody sea shattered. Before it could reform, it was swallowed up by Xue Hao's bloody sea.
Within the bloody sea, Lu Ye's blood and Qi surged. He immediately sensed the huge gap between himself and the late stage Moon Jade. If he was a blade of grass, then Moon Jade was a large tree. Whether it was in terms of strength or aura, there was simply no comparison.
Even though he had expected this, when the result appeared before his eyes, Lu Ye's expression still looked somewhat helpless.
A bone-chilling feeling rose in his heart. Lu Ye sensed a brilliant and fierce aura coming straight for him.
He raised his hand and pressed it against the hilt of his Mountain Pan Saber. His gaze was fixed in front of him as he madly poured his spiritual power into the saber.
Spiritual inscriptions quickly formed on the Mountain Pan Saber.
Suddenly, the saber was unsheathed. It spun like a crescent moon and slashed forward.
Xue Hao sneered. The huge gap in their strength made it so that he didn't even think about dodging this attack. He didn't even try to dodge. Instead, he reached out to grab the saber. He wanted to let Lu Yiye experience what despair was.
However, in the next instant, his sneer turned into shock. This was because an inexplicable might had suddenly erupted from Lu Ye's body. Under the impact of this inexplicable might, Xue Hao's blood and Qi scattered. His strength was also greatly suppressed.
The incomparably sharp Mountain Pan Saber slashed down. It was as if it had struck a thick sheet of leather. Blood splattered everywhere. Xue Hao cried out in shock and retracted his hand. A deep wound had appeared between his fingers, so deep that his bones could be seen.
Lu Ye had already pressed forward. His aura was tyrannical and wild as he continuously displayed the Tyrant Saber Technique. With the assistance of Li Shang's Soul Attachment, every strike was practically an all-out attack.
Xue Hao continuously retreated. His eyes trembled violently as he stared at Lu Ye in disbelief. "You're a Holy Seed? You're actually a Holy Seed? "
In the Blood Race, only those who had refined sacred blood could be called Holy Seeds.
Xue Hao himself was a Holy Seed, and he had also refined sacred blood. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to achieve what he had today. However, he had never imagined that this Lu Yiye of the Nine Heavens, who had been remembered by his clan for many years, was also a Holy Seed. Moreover, his Holy Nature far surpassed his own.
Not only was Lu Yiye's Holy Nature superior to his own, but there was also a large gap between them. Even Rizhao, the person with the strongest Holy Nature he had ever seen, wasn't even worthy of carrying Lu Yiye's shoes.
Xue Hao couldn't believe it, but now that he had personally experienced it, he had no choice but to believe it. Under the intense suppression of Lu Yiye's Holy Nature, his late-stage Yue Yao cultivation could only display the strength of an early-stage Yue Yao cultivator.
This kind of suppression was too terrifying. Even Rizhao, who he had seen before, couldn't achieve this level of suppression!
As soon as he said this, he realized that something was wrong. Lu Yiye was clearly a human. How could he be a Holy Seed? Following that, an inconceivable thought surfaced in his mind. "You can actually refine sacred blood?"
Lu Yiye's Holy Nature wasn't fake. Since he wasn't a Blood Race Holy Seed, that meant that he had the means to refine sacred blood. But … … was that possible?
The Blood Race's sacred blood came from a mysterious source. Even a Blood Race member would have to take a great deal of risk in order to refine it. If any other race were to come into contact with it, even Rizhao would die without a doubt.
But now, a human who had refined sacred blood was standing right in front of him, using the suppression of his Holy Nature to restrain him.
From the looks of it, Lu Yiye had already refined the sacred blood of the Holy Seeds of the younger generation who had died at his hands in the Alpha Origin stage.
It could even be said that Lu Yiye had already refined a lot of sacred blood before this. Otherwise, his Holy Nature wouldn't be so terrifying!
Xue Hao finally understood how those Holy Seeds of the younger generation had died in the Alpha Origin stage. All this time, the Blood Race didn't know how those younger generation had been completely annihilated by a human. This was because the Blood Race had arranged for those younger generation to quickly gather in the Alpha Origin stage and work together to resist the enemy. The other Divine Sea cultivators participating in the battle for the Divine Sea were simply unable to resist. It was precisely because of this method that the Blood Race was able to occupy a portion of the winning spots in the Alpha Origin stage every time.
But if Lu Yiye relied on the suppression of his Holy Nature, those younger generation wouldn't be able to resist. Moreover, if they gathered together, it would be easier for Lu Yiye to wipe them all out.
After understanding so many things, the shock in Xue Hao's eyes gradually turned into excitement.
This was because he saw the possibility of refining a large amount of sacred blood from Lu Yiye. The process of refining sacred blood was too dangerous for the Blood Race, and it had nothing to do with one's cultivation. Even an advanced Yue Yao like him couldn't refine too much sacred blood. Every refinement was a life and death crisis.
A human had actually done something that was difficult for the Blood Race. Xue Hao really wanted to know how Lu Yiye had done it. Based on the Holy Nature on Lu Yiye's body, he had refined at least a few dozen drops of sacred blood, perhaps even more...
Therefore, as long as he captured Lu Yiye, Xue Hao would have the opportunity to pry into this secret and use it to raise his Holy Nature. Sunshine... was just around the corner!
While many thoughts flashed through his mind, Lu Yiye's blade continued to attack, forcing him back step by step.
It wasn't that Xue Hao was weaker than him, but that Xue Hao was thinking about how to capture Lu Yiye alive.
Under the suppression of Lu Yiye's Holy Nature, Lu Yiye could clearly sense that his opponent could only unleash the power of an advanced Yue Yao's cultivation. This greatly reassured him. Even if he wasn't a match for an advanced Yue Yao, the situation wouldn't be too bad.
If he really couldn't do it, he could use the red talisman to deal with Lu Yiye. However, the red talisman was Lu Yiye's final trump card. Unless it was absolutely necessary, Lu Yiye wouldn't be willing to use it.
As they clashed, boundless saber light enveloped Xue Hao. However, Lu Yiye's mood gradually became heavier and heavier. This was because apart from the first saber strike that had injured Xue Hao, the rest of his attacks didn't have much of an effect.
Lu Yiye suddenly realized that he had underestimated the situation.
