Looking at the figure of the little old man who had suddenly appeared in his Divine Sea, and thinking back to when his Divine Sea had been lightly touched, Lu Ye immediately realized the other party's identity, "A Source Consciousness?"
If he was not mistaken, this little old man in front of him was an existence similar to Xiao Jiu and Hua Niang, a manifestation of a World Domain's Will.
His Divine Sea's defences being touched was undoubtedly the work of this old man.
The little old man nodded lightly, "Yes!" He then asked, "The Dao Tree Bloodline?"
"What?" Lu Ye frowned, not understanding.
The little old man gave Lu Ye a deep look and did not explain much, but Lu Ye clearly saw a look of dread in the other party's eyes, and he did not know if it was just his imagination.
Just as he was about to ask something, the little old man seemed to have discovered a new world and stared at the Seven Coloured Divine Lotus at the foot of Lu Ye's Soul Avatar in surprise, "Soul Warming Lotus?" Taking a closer look, he shook his head, "No, it's just a Soul Avatar. Boy, what is your relationship with the Soul Race?"
"I can barely be considered a half-clansman of the Soul Race," Lu Ye replied casually.
The little old man's eyes twitched obviously. What was this? What did he mean by 'barely be considered a half-clansman of the Soul Race'? If he was, then he was; if he wasn't, then he wasn't. But seeing that there was such a Divine Lotus in the other party's Divine Sea, he knew that his relationship with the Soul Race was not ordinary. Otherwise, it would be impossible for him to have such a treasure guarding his Divine Sea.
Just as he was contemplating though, Lu Ye said, "Old Fang, the Battle of Black Abyss has begun, and it won't be long before the people from Saint Blood Peak arrive. I want to use this battle to kill them all. What kind of help can Old Fang provide?"
The little old man was stunned for a moment before realizing that Old Fang had called him 'Old Fang' because of the name 'Miniscule Mountain'.
No one had ever called him this before, so he was surprised for a moment, but he didn't care much about it. Hearing this, he slowly shook his head, "My essence has been contaminated by the Blood Ancestor's precious blood. For many years, this old master has been fighting against it. If it weren't for your help today, I'm afraid I wouldn't have been able to come here to see you. Once the battle begins, all this old master can do is expel the invading enemy with all his strength.
Lu Ye understood and was a little disappointed, but after thinking about it, he couldn't ask for too much. Fang Lao's origin had been contaminated by a portion of the Blood Ancestor's precious blood's power for so many years, and with his help today, Fang Lao's origin consciousness was able to relax for a moment. However, he definitely couldn't continue to relax like this.
Elder Fang had sensed that Lu Ye was different from the others, so he had purposely shown himself to meet him.
Therefore, in the Battle of the Black Abyss, he still had to rely on himself.
"Brat, don't think you can eat until you're fat. Win this battle first, and then help me resolve the danger of the Source Core. Only then can we plan for the future!" Elder Fang's voice rang out.
The danger of the Source Core had only been slightly weakened, but it hadn't been completely resolved. This wasn't something that could be accomplished in a single day.
The Source Core that had been contaminated by a portion of the Blood Ancestor's precious blood's power was like suffering from an illness. As the saying goes, illness comes like a landslide, but it goes away like silk …
From Elder Fang's point of view, it was unrealistic for Lu Ye to want to exterminate Saint Blood Mountain in a single battle. This kind of thing could only be done slowly.
Lu Ye frowned. He didn't want to plan for the future. Right now, he just wanted to settle everything with a single battle.
After thinking for a moment, Lu Ye asked, "Elder Fang, that Blood Ancestor's precious blood … does it have its own consciousness?"
The reason for this guess was naturally because of all the thoughts that had flashed through his mind before. If the consciousness that had swallowed him into this world wasn't Heart Mountain's consciousness, then there was only one other possibility.
Elder Fang nodded and said, "That's right, but don't worry too much. That consciousness isn't complete. It should have been born from the remnant will of the Blood Ancestor's precious blood. That's why its intelligence is a bit hazy, like a child that hasn't been born for long. Moreover, this is the Source Core Space, so it can't enter. Only cultivators like you can enter."
After obtaining a definite answer from Elder Fang, even though Lu Ye already had his suspicions, he was still shocked.
He couldn't help but recall some information he had obtained when he first came into contact with the Blood Race's inheritance. It was rumored that the Blood Race's bloodline could be reborn from a single drop of blood.
He had always felt that this kind of thing was too illusory, but now it seemed that he was just a frog at the bottom of a well.
The Blood Ancestor had been dead for who knew how many years, and her remaining body had been split into many pieces. However, the drop of precious blood she had left behind had actually given birth to a consciousness …
A single drop of the Blood Ancestor's precious blood had caused Heart Mountain's core consciousness to be in such a sorry state. Just how powerful had the Blood Ancestor been back then? And what kind of existence had been able to split the Blood Ancestor's body into pieces?
Lu Ye couldn't think too deeply about this.
Right now, because this consciousness was born from the remnant will of the Blood Ancestor, it must have inherited many things from the Blood Ancestor. Could this be considered a kind of rebirth?
Elder Fang had said that the Blood Ancestor's drop of precious blood couldn't enter this place. As for the reason, Lu Ye didn't know, but since Elder Fang had said so, then it must be true. In other words, that drop of precious blood had always been outside … Lu Ye immediately thought of the blood moon hanging in the sky!
He had always been curious about the essence of the blood moon and had once guessed it. Now that he heard Elder Fang's words, he was almost certain that the blood moon was formed from the Blood Ancestor's precious blood.
However, Lu Ye quickly thought of another matter. "Elder Fang, if the Blood Ancestor's precious blood couldn't enter, then how was the origin contaminated?"
"Naturally, it was contaminated by the divine nature of the cultivators who died here. To put it bluntly, the divine nature is an extension of the Blood Ancestor's precious blood's power! The precious blood's ignorant will has always been its main goal to invade the origin, so all of the divine nature's power will automatically contaminate the origin. "
Lu Ye came to a realization. After generations of fighting in the Black Abyss, there must have been many cultivators from the Saint Blood Mountain who had died in battle. After that, the divine nature in their bodies dissipated and slowly contaminated the origin.
"So kid, do your best to win this battle. After that, this old man will work with you to find a way to deal with that drop of precious blood." If anyone else had come here, Elder Fang definitely wouldn't have appeared because it was meaningless. However, Lu Ye was different. The inheritance of the Dao Tree bloodline gave Elder Fang hope because to the Dao Tree bloodline, there was nothing in the world that it couldn't refine, including the Blood Ancestor's precious blood!
Lu Ye nodded. "I'll do my best!"
Within the Divine Sea, Elder Fang's figure dissipated.
Lu Ye opened his eyes and pressed his hand on the origin, activating the Talent Tree's power and continuing to refine the power of the precious blood inside the origin.
The more he refined, the lighter the pressure on the origin's consciousness would be.
Everyone else was busy. Hu Dequan was overseeing everything and constantly issuing orders. There was a large space around the origin that was filled with layers of formations and killing intent.
A few days later, the space suddenly began to tremble.
Only then did Hu Dequan flash to Lu Ye's side. "Brother, the people from the Saint Blood Mountain are coming. According to the plan, we have to hide the origin."
Although this kind of concealment couldn't be maintained for too long and would be found by the cultivators of the Saint Blood Mountain sooner or later, as the defending side, stalling for time was undoubtedly a strategy.
Lu Ye understood and retreated.
Hu Dequan called out, and immediately several cultivators rushed over from the left and right, setting up a concealment formation near the origin.
The space continued to vibrate for half a day before it finally stopped.
Lu Ye, who was hiding on a meteorite and using the formation to conceal his aura, instantly sensed a powerful divine sense sweeping over from a certain direction.
It was Rizhao's divine sense!
If nothing went wrong, it must be Blazing Heaven himself.
The cultivators of the Saint Blood Mountain must have come out in full force. They were like this every time, but every time, they returned in defeat. This battle had lasted for countless years since ancient times.
Amidst the silence of the void, murderous intent was hidden.
Soon, the cultivators of the Saint Blood Mountain scattered into small groups under Blazing Heaven's orders.
The first thing they had to do was to find the exact location of the origin. Only then could they target it.
In the process of searching, both sides were also competing. The main purpose of the Red Talisman Association was to stall for time, but under the premise that the general direction remained unchanged, it was also necessary to kill as many enemies as possible.
In an instant, a sea of blood appeared in the origin space. Searching in all directions, the cultivators of the Saint Blood Mountain hid in the sea of blood.
On the meteorite, where Lu Ye was hiding, Hu Dequan was beside him with a nervous expression. "Brother, how confident are you?"
In the past, at this stage, the cultivators of the Red Talisman Association usually chose to hide as much as possible because their overall strength was inferior to others, and there was no advantage in taking the initiative to attack.
Moreover, the cultivators of the Saint Blood Mountain worked together to activate the Blood Sea Technique, which could be used to attack and defend against enemies. It was really not easy to deal with.
Unless the enemy happened to enter the range of the Spirit Array they had set up, they would use the power of the Spirit Array to launch an attack. However, the origin space was not small. Even if they entered a few days in advance, the number of Spirit Arrays they could set up was limited. It was completely dependent on luck to let the enemy enter the range of the Spirit Array.
However, things were different this time. After a discussion with Hu Dequan, Lu Ye changed her previous strategy and chose a more radical approach.
"Just wait." Lu Ye replied. In his perception, the position of all the Blood Warriors in the entire origin space was clear at a glance. This was a perception that came from his bloodline and not his Divine Sense, so the range of his perception was extremely wide.
Hu Dequan was a little nervous. Although he had been persuaded by Lu Ye before, when it came to this step, he could not help but feel nervous. The Red Talisman Association did not have many people, so they could not bear too much trouble.
In another space, the six members of the Red Talisman Association, Xiang Yin, Xiang Yin, and two other Blood Warriors accepted by Lu Ye were rushing in a direction without any concealment.
Xiang Yin and Xiang Yin took the lead, holding their own Spirit Runes and constantly communicating with Lu Ye to determine the direction.
Not long after, Xiang Yin shouted, "Prepare to meet the enemy!"
The others in the group raised their heads and saw a sea of blood rapidly moving in front of them, carefully searching every space in an attempt to find the location of the origin space.
