In fact, the initial cycle of the Battle of the Black Abyss wasn't once every ten years, but once every hundred years. However, as time passed, the cycle became shorter and shorter until it became once every ten years in recent years.
This was the hiding place of the Origin Consciousness, so the shortening of the cycle of the Battle of the Black Abyss undoubtedly meant that the Origin Consciousness was in a bad situation.
And from the current situation, it seemed that the Blood Ancestor's treasured blood's corrosion of the Origin Consciousness was beginning to bear fruit. If this continued, even if the Red Talisman Association cultivators could bitterly hold on, the Origin Consciousness wouldn't be able to hold on. Once the Origin Consciousness was completely devoured by the treasured blood, there would be no place for the Red Talisman Association cultivators in this world.
"We're at a disadvantage against the Sacred Blood Peak because they outnumber us and have Sunshine. But as the defending side, we also have an advantage because we arrived here in advance with the help of the Origin Consciousness, giving us enough time to make some preparations! "Hu Dequan's voice continued to resound.
This was also the biggest reason why the Red Talisman Association was able to hold on despite being at a disadvantage in terms of numbers and overall strength. Every time the Battle of the Black Abyss occurred, they would arrive here in advance and make some defensive arrangements.
In the end, the Origin Consciousness was the Origin Consciousness of the Core World, so it could naturally use its authority to make things easier for the cultivators on its side.
Therefore, the current situation was that the Red Talisman Association cultivators arrived here first, and after some time, the Sacred Blood Peak cultivators would be able to open a passage to this place.
How long this delay would be depended on how long the Origin Consciousness could hold on because the Sacred Blood Peak cultivators were opening the passage to this place to break the Origin Consciousness's seal on this space.
"Therefore, we need to deploy some defensive measures as much as possible. Once the battle begins, our first task is to protect the Origin Consciousness, and then kill the enemy! Once the battle begins, the Origin Consciousness will repel all enemies. As long as we can hold on long enough, the Sacred Blood Peak cultivators will be expelled from this place, and only then will we be able to win! "
Hu Dequan had previously discussed this matter with Lu Ye, and he had also mentioned that this kind of rejection would weaken with the passage of time. In the beginning, the Origin Consciousness would only need a day or even half a day to expel the enemy from this space, but during the last Battle of the Black Abyss, it took a full five days.
This time, it would definitely take longer.
No matter what, the reason for this was that the quintessence's control over this space was weakening, and this was undoubtedly disadvantageous to the Red Talisman Association that was on the defensive here.
After a simple explanation of the true essence of the Struggle of Black Abyss, many cultivators quickly took action. They had to make more arrangements before the cultivators of Saint Blood Peak arrived.
One figure after another shuttled back and forth as a large number of asteroids and floating continents were transported back. Cultivators proficient in formations began to set up formations on these asteroids and floating continents.
Lu Ye didn't immediately go to help. Instead, he flew towards the source of light.
Back when Lu Ye was in the Magic Eye Spectacle, he had speculated that the Inner World had its own consciousness. This was because the Inner World had indeed shown a conscious reaction when it was rushing towards him. He had even tried to communicate with it, but unfortunately, he did not receive any response. In the end, he was swallowed by the Inner World.
After entering this world, Lu Ye had also repeatedly tried to communicate with the world's consciousness, but to no avail.
Only today did he realize that the consciousness of the Inner World had been hiding in this special space all this time. Naturally, it would not respond to his calls.
But if this was the case, then what was the situation when the Inner World was rushing towards him? At that time, the Inner World had clearly acted on its own and was searching for him...
In particular, when he was preparing to escape and sacrificing his precious blood, the Inner World's reaction was especially strong.
As he pondered, a hair-raising thought suddenly popped up in Lu Ye's mind — what if the consciousness of the Inner World wasn't the quintessence at that time?
In other words, the Inner World's action of swallowing him into the Inner World wasn't the result of the quintessence's consciousness, but another consciousness? It had swallowed him in because it had sensed that he had the bloodline of the Blood Race. After swallowing him, he could be of help to it...
If this was the case, then the truth was somewhat terrifying. The situation the Red Talisman Association was facing was much more serious than he had imagined.
Lu Ye's expression changed as he raised his hand to touch the source of light in front of him.
Not far away, Hu Dequan coldly observed.
Just now, he had seen Lu Ye flying towards the core source, but he didn't stop him. This was because he knew that any cultivator with a holy nature who approached the core source wouldn't have a good end. This had been confirmed in previous battles.
Because of the layer of bloody light covering the core source, the holy nature seemed to be particularly strong. Any cultivator with a holy nature would find their strength suppressed the closer they got to the core source.
But what shocked Hu Dequan was that Lu Ye didn't show any signs of being suppressed. When he touched the core source, Hu Dequan's eyes widened.
What was going on?
He couldn't understand because the scene in front of him had already surpassed his inherent understanding.
What he could confirm was that Lu Ye had a holy nature, and a very strong one at that. But it shouldn't be strong enough to not be suppressed by that layer of bloody light...
But such a strange thing had happened.
He found it strange because he didn't understand what Lu Ye had said before.
Lu Ye had told him that he had a holy nature and could even use all kinds of vampire secret arts at will. However, the holy nature was only one of his powers!
Of course, this power would be suppressed by the bloody light outside the core source. After all, this was the power of the Blood Ancestor's precious blood, and its holy nature was far beyond Lu Ye's reach.
However, not only did Lu Ye possess a holiness, but he was also a weapon cultivator of the human race. Standing there, he was indeed unable to activate his own holiness, and it was difficult for him to use the Blood Kindred's secret arts. However, his powers were not affected at all.
If it were Xiang Yin, she probably wouldn't even be able to get close to the core source.
Hu Dequan saw that the situation wasn't right and was about to step forward to stop it, but in the next moment, his eyes widened.
Because as Lu Ye's hand came into contact with the Origin Source, the hazy blood-red light covering the Origin Source began to undergo some strange changes. Originally, this blood-red light was like a shell that tightly wrapped around the Origin Source, but now it seemed to be boiling.
At this moment, extremely tiny roots that could not be seen extended from Lu Ye's palm. In the blink of an eye, they wrapped around the enormous origin.
Lu Ye had activated the power of the Talent Tree!
If the core source was a cultivator, then the hazy bloody light was a foreign object that invaded the cultivator's body. It was like the curse power in the Mermaid Clan's bloodline, or the Soul Devouring Aphids in Yaya's Divine Sea.
Lu Ye activated the power of the Talent Tree to try and see if he could burn away this layer of bloody light.
In just a moment of contact, Lu Ye knew that it could be done!
Because with the activation of the Talent Tree's power, the layer of bloody light was obviously showing some abnormal reactions.
The bloody light turned into a bloody mist and seemed to be evaporating, and the color of the bloody light was slowly weakening.
Hu Dequan finally came to and rushed in front of Lu Ye. He was surprised and doubtful. "Brother Lu, what are you doing?"
He wanted to stop him because no matter what Lu Ye was doing, the core source couldn't be touched casually. If Lu Ye had evil intentions, then this battle would be lost without a fight.
But after seeing the changes in the core with his own eyes, he realized that what Lu Ye was doing seemed to be a good thing for the core source.
"I'll tell you later." Lu Ye replied and focused on activating the power of the Talent Tree. At this moment, he clearly felt that in the process of burning away the bloody light, some mysterious things were refined into his body through the roots of the Talent Tree.
He felt that his own Holiness was rapidly increasing!
Originally, after coming to this world, he had bestowed a lot of precious blood, which had actually damaged his own Holiness. But because his Holiness was too strong, this damage was not very obvious. Compared to other Blood Kindred, he still had enough of an advantage to crush them with his Holiness.
If he wanted to replenish the lost Holiness, then he could only refine more Blood Kindred's Holy Blood.
He definitely couldn't find any Blood Kindred's Holy Blood for the time being, but he didn't want to wait for a huge replenishment here!
While thinking, Lu Ye realized that this bloody light was the manifestation of the Blood Ancestor's Holy Blood. His original intention was to burn it away, so that it could reduce the pressure on the core's consciousness. Maybe it would be of some help to his side in the upcoming battle.
But this burning process was equivalent to using the bloody light as a cultivation resource like spirit jade.
In the process of refining the spirit jade, Lu Ye used the roots of the Talent Tree to probe into the spirit jade. While burning away the impurities, he also refined the energy of the spirit jade for his own use and strengthened his foundation.
The current situation was that he had exchanged the spirit jade for this layer of bloody light. In essence, his current state was no different from normal cultivation.
It was just that in this kind of cultivation, his cultivation would not increase, but his Blood Kindred's Holiness would rapidly increase.
Great nourishment!
The Holiness he had lost before was quickly replenished, and it was still increasing.
Hu Dequan stood to the side and watched, becoming more and more certain that Lu Ye's actions were beneficial to the core. He no longer had any thoughts of stopping him and let him stay here while he began to preside over the various matters of constructing the defensive line.
Lu Ye originally thought that he could quickly refine the layer of bloody light, but no matter how he refined it, the layer of bloody light showed no signs of weakening.
But the growth of his Holiness in his body was obvious.
This allowed him to slowly understand one thing – the Blood Ancestor's Holy Blood was not just on the surface of the core, but also on the inside. This gave him the illusion that he could not completely refine it.
If he had enough time, he should be able to return the core to its origin, but there was definitely not enough time, making it somewhat difficult for him to do so.
Just as he was feeling helpless, he suddenly felt a force gently touching his Divine Sea's defenses, as if someone was knocking on his door. Lu Ye was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted and opened his Divine Sea, anxiously immersing himself in his Soul Avatar.
Within the Divine Sea, Lu Ye looked up and saw that there was an additional figure here at a glance.
A white-haired old man with a walking stick in his hand.
He was very short, about the height of a ten-year-old child. His long beard hung down to his chest, and his forehead was bulging like a mountain.
