Outside the Three World Island, over a hundred Yue Yao gathered in one place with bewildered expressions. They had been summoned by Yuan Du. A small number of them were Yue Yao from the First Yuan Realm, but most of them were Yue Yao Guardians from the various Spiritual Islands.
However, since they were willing to accept Yuan Du's summons, they were more or less related to him.
The hundred Yue Yao were led by Yuan Cheng.
Yuan Du had brought them here to borrow their strength to break through the Three World Island's protective array. After all, as Rizhao, there was no need for him to do something as trivial as breaking the array himself.
However, the Blood Kindred had betrayed him and Hei Yun had attacked. Yuan Du had no choice but to cooperate and quickly break through the Three World Island's protective array.
After that, the Rizhao Rizhao appeared one after another. The hundred or so Yue Yao were completely useless.
However, they didn't leave. Instead, they stayed outside the Three World Island and watched.
The current situation was treacherous. Ma Bin was fighting against Hei Yun and Mo Wen Li. Luan Xiaoe and Yan Miao were fighting against Mu Qing. Yuan Du was severely injured and his condition was unknown. Chen Xuanba and Gu Xi had also disappeared into the blood sea after being hit by the golden light.
Yuan Cheng looked at the churning blood sea. His heart was filled with fear. He even had the urge to flee from this place.
He could vaguely sense that the situation this time was too big. It had far exceeded Yuan Du's expectations.
However, he was still a descendant of Yuan Du. If he fled now, there would be no place for him in the Ten Thousand Elephant Sea in the future.
Therefore, he hesitated for a moment. Then, he gritted his teeth and shouted, "Friends, follow me. Kill Lu Ye and save the Guardians!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he was the first to charge into the blood sea.
Most of the hundred or so Yue Yao hesitated for a moment before following him. A small number of them hesitated. However, given the current situation, they had no choice but to retreat.
Lu Ye of the Three Realm Island was indeed renowned. Now, he had even unleashed a Blood Sea Secret Technique of such a scale. However, he was still only Yue Yao. He was only one person. With over a hundred of them working together, how could they not be able to take him down?
Moreover, there were still three Rikarius in the Blood Sea. They did not believe that these three Rikarius had completely lost the ability to resist. Even if they were trapped by that mysterious golden light, it would not be that easy for Yue Yao to kill Rikarius. Perhaps Lu Ye of the Three World Island had already been captured by one of the Rikarius. They only needed to put on an act now, and in the future, they would gain the friendship of the Rikarius Protectors.
More than a hundred figures fell into the sea of blood one after another, like stones sinking into the sea, without the slightest splash of blood.
In the Blood Sea, Lu Ye grabbed Chen Xuanba's body. The arrogant Sunshine cultivator was now like a dried fish. His essence, Qi, and spirit had been sucked dry, and his vitality had dissipated. He had followed in the footsteps of Gu Xi and Yuan Du.
Indeed, it would not be easy for Yue Yao to kill Rizhao. Everything else aside, Rizhao's physique was incomparably strong. Lu Ye had to expend a lot of effort to defeat Lionheart because his physique was too strong. Yuan Du and the others had been in Rizhao's league for many years. In terms of physique, they were many times stronger than Lionheart.
Even if they were trapped and unable to resist, Lu Ye would have to use the Sword Draw or the Great Windmill Secret Technique to have a chance to kill them.
However, the Talent Tree's devouring was unreasonable. A strong physique could not stop the roots of the Talent Tree from entering.
At this moment, Lu Ye's eyes were closed. After devouring three Sunshine cultivators in succession, he could vaguely feel that something was wrong with his body.
After examining it closely, a look of surprise appeared on his face.
On one of the branches of the Talent Tree, a flower had unknowingly bloomed. The flower was about to wither, and a small black fruit was in the process of growing at the base of the flower.
For some reason, when Lu Ye saw the black fruit, he felt an inexplicable sense of unease.
There was no reason for it, but he could feel that once the black fruit matured, something bad would happen to him.
He thought of the previous Dao Tree successor, Chao Nian.
From the looks of it, Chao Nian must have also gone through this stage. The great change in his temperament should be related to this black fruit.
The Dao Tree could burn everything in the world, but it could not burn the seven emotions and six desires of living beings. These emotions that could not be burned gathered on the Talent Tree, bloomed, and bore fruit. When it matured, it would completely change a person's temperament.
Even at this moment, the black fruit had just taken shape and was far from maturing. Lu Ye could feel that his temperament had changed. It seemed that he was more easily angered and violent.
Previously, when he was training in the Asura Field, he had tried to devour many shadows.
However, that training did not have much of an effect on him. Lu Ye had always thought that the rumors were wrong or exaggerated.
Only today did he realize that devouring shadows was completely different from devouring real living beings.
This made him slightly wary.
He pulled out his consciousness and sensed his spiritual source. It was not perfect yet, but it was not far away. The foundation of the three Sunshine cultivators had greatly improved the quality of his spiritual source.
At this rate, if he could devour two more Sunshine cultivators...
When this thought arose, it was difficult to suppress.
At this moment, Lu Ye suddenly sensed that a large amount of life force had intruded into his sea of blood.
The sea of blood was formed by his own blood and Qi. Even the slightest change in it could not escape his detection. Thus, after a moment's thought, Lu Ye knew what had happened.
"This is really..." Lu Ye tossed Chen Xuanba's corpse aside and took a step forward. His figure had already disappeared.
There was a path to heaven, but you refused to take it. There was no door to hell, but you insisted on barging in!
"Ancestor! Ancestor, where are you? "Within the sea of blood, Yuan Cheng continuously shouted, his face filled with fear and unease.
He had brought a hundred Yue Yao here, but now he could not see a single person beside him. The viscous sea of blood around him made it difficult for him to move, and even the flow of his transcendence energy was much more difficult.
However, that was fine. He believed that Yuan Du was still alive, and should be somewhere at this moment. As long as he could meet up with Yuan Du, he would be able to protect himself.
In addition, the two Sunshine cultivators, Gu Xi and Chen Xuanba, were also in this sea of blood. Lu Ye only had one Yue Yao. No matter what, he had no ability to kill three Sunshine cultivators.
He did not know what that golden light that could seal Sunshine was, but the Sunshine cultivators would definitely be able to break free quickly. At that time, they would be able to easily break through the sea of blood and allow this world to see the light of day once more.
As he looked around, he suddenly stepped on something. He hurriedly looked down.
What he saw instantly turned into a look of shock and horror. This was because the thing on the ground was a corpse, and it was a desiccated corpse at that. The corpse's face vaguely resembled Chen Xuanba's, and even the clothes on it were Chen Xuanba's.
"No! Impossible! " Yuan Cheng hurriedly took a few steps back, unwilling to believe what he was seeing. That Chen Xuanba was Sunshine, so how could he have died so silently?
Suddenly, Yuan Cheng bumped into something. He turned his head and saw that in the sea of blood, a figure had appeared behind him at some point. This figure was silently staring at him with a pair of scarlet eyes.
That gaze... it was like a hungry wolf that had just seen a delicious meal.
"Lu Yiye!" Yuan Cheng was shocked. He immediately tried to circulate his transcendence energy, but a figure flashed in front of him. Pain shot through his body, and his consciousness blurred.
He had just become a Yue Yao not long ago. How could he be a match for Lu Yiye?
In the next instant, an indescribable pain shot through his body, causing Yuan Cheng to cry out in pain.
After a few breaths, his voice dissipated. Lu Yiye tossed Yuan Cheng's corpse aside, and his figure disappeared into the sea of blood. He muttered in dissatisfaction, "Too weak!"
He had finally discovered a pattern — the stronger the cultivator, the greater the benefits he would receive after devouring them.
The three Yue Yao who had entered the sea of blood had greatly improved his transcendence energy. However, the Yue Yao who had entered the sea of blood were much weaker. For example, Yuan Cheng, who had just become a Yue Yao not long ago, the improvements he received to his transcendence energy were practically negligible. This was most likely related to the quality of their transcendence energy. The higher the quality of the transcendence energy he devoured, the greater the benefits he would receive.
The effects of devouring Yue Yao were not as good as Yue Yao's. Fortunately, there were many of them.
More than 100 Yue Yao were scattered all over the sea of blood. They couldn't find their enemies, nor could they see their companions. The only thing they could do was continuously circulate their power and bombard their surroundings.
This was also the best way to deal with the sea of blood. In the end, the sea of blood was also a kind of secret technique. Since it was a secret technique, it naturally had a limit. As long as one could break through this limit, they would be able to break through it.
In the beginning, Lu Yiye's sea of blood was indeed turbulent under the ferocious attacks of the Yue Yao. From the outside, it looked like it could shatter at any moment.
However, after enduring the most dangerous early stages, as time passed, the sea of blood became more and more stable, gradually calming down.
Silently, the vitality of the Yue Yao dissipated one after another, and the cultivators who had entered the sea of blood with Yuan Cheng perished one after another.
In their place, Lu Yiye's transcendence energy continuously approached perfection.
The continuous devouring caused him to lose himself in thought. At first, he still remembered to occasionally check on the changes in the black fruit on the Innate Talent Tree, constantly keeping an eye on himself. However, as his transcendence energy became more and more complete, and the pleasure of devouring continued to deepen, he completely forgot about everything else.
There was only one thought in his mind — to devour everything!
After an unknown period of time, there was not a single living being left in the sea of blood. Just as Lu Yiye was about to head toward the closest and densest source of vitality, his body suddenly shuddered, and he froze on the spot.
In this instant, it was as if some extremely miraculous change had occurred in his body. It was precisely this change that had affected his mind and interrupted his instinctive plan.
He was abruptly shocked. His condition just now … was very strange!
When he checked his Innate Talent Tree again, he discovered that the original flower had long since disappeared. The black fruit had already grown to the size of a fist, and its black color had deepened considerably. In fact, it was even glowing.
This thing was already not far away from ripening!
A wave of lingering fear washed over him. Fortunately, the changes in his body had brought him back to his senses. Otherwise, if this had continued, he was afraid that he would have followed in Chao Nian's footsteps, never to return from that path of no return.
That was something he absolutely could not accept.
'I can't devour anymore!' He secretly made up his mind. Only now did he have the time to investigate the changes that had occurred in his body. (End of Chapter)
