Sage of Humanity-Chapter 1805 - 1803: The Descent of Treasure Blood
"What's happening?" Hu Dequan flew over and asked.
"Not sure," Lu Ye shook his head, "but it's definitely not anything good."
The various oddities of Lih Tian's death were too strange. Thinking back, this guy seemed to have a desire for death. Not only that, he was completely indifferent to the life and death of the cultivators under his command. Otherwise, with the resources of the Sacred Blood Summit, our side wouldn't have won so easily.
Looking at the current situation, Lu Ye couldn't help but come up with a bold guess. Lih Tian indeed had a backup plan, but it would only come into play after his death. This was very strange. What was the point of leaving a backup plan when someone is already dead?
No time to ponder deeply, Lu Ye shouted, "Let's take action together!"
No matter what Lih Tian's backup plan was, it couldn't be allowed to succeed. So as long as they broke this Blood Orb wrapping the skeleton and found a way to destroy the skeleton, whatever Lih Tian was plotting would be in vain.
Having just won a battle and with no time to catch their breath, numerous cultivators took action again, launching a furious attack on the Blood Orb.
However, frustratingly, no matter how fierce the assault, it couldn't shake the Blood Orb in the slightest, only causing it to sway incessantly in the Void.
Suddenly, Lu Ye stopped and spread out his Mental Consciousness.
He vaguely sensed that something was approaching from all directions!
Soon, he knew what it was; it was the dispersing blood Qi energy in this space, and the source of this blood Qi energy was the residual energy left behind by the Sacred Blood Summit cultivators after their deaths.
Earlier in the battle, after the Blood Servants killed those Sacred Blood Summit cultivators, they dared not casually refine their blood Qi because the blood Qi of the Sacred Blood Summit cultivators contained saintliness. Recklessly refining it posed a risk to the Blood Servants, unlike when they bathed in Blood Rain and refined the weak saintliness it contained.
The Blood Servants didn't refine it, so the blood Qi naturally remained in the areas where the cultivators died.
Lu Ye never expected that this residual blood Qi would now all converge over here, with the source of the gathering undoubtedly being the strange Blood Orb. It seemed to have the ability to attract saintly blood Qi!
Just the bone-wrapped blood Qi of Lih Tian had resulted in the current situation. If the attracted blood Qi were to mix in, who knows what would happen next.
Lu Ye quickly shouted, "Block this blood Qi!"
The numerous cultivators attacking the Blood Orb paused upon hearing this, quickly investigating and soon discovering the issue, immediately employing various methods to block it.
Lu Ye further spread his own Blood Sea, transforming it into a Blood River, working with other Blood Servants to seal off a vast area.
Yet despite their efforts, they couldn't completely intercept the blood Qi drawn from all directions. Waves of blood Qi constantly poured into the Blood Orb, making its color even richer.
Moreover, complex patterns emerged on the Blood Orb's surface.
A strange aura faintly emanated from within the Blood Orb...
In his spare time, Lu Ye glanced at the Blood Orb, feeling extremely anxious but unable to do anything.
In just a few breaths, the Blood Orb was already glowing brightly with red light, with patterns spread all over it. The red light illuminated the surrounding area. At this moment, the Blood Orb looked almost identical to the Blood Moon Lu Ye had observed outside, and the various patterns within it connected and merged, making the Blood Orb appear more like a wide-open eye, incredibly terrifying.
There was no more blood Qi converging towards the Blood Orb. What needed to be intercepted had been intercepted, and what couldn't be intercepted was absorbed by the Blood Orb.
At that moment, the Void trembled and buzzed incessantly. In the unseen depths, a powerful force seemed to descend from an unknown place, falling upon the Blood Orb!
The already dazzling light of the Blood Orb suddenly expanded.
All the cultivators staring at the Blood Orb suddenly found their minds drifting, and their Divine Sea was turbulent.
Lu Ye was also affected, but much less so than the others.
He stared at the Blood Orb that was undergoing drastic changes, drawing power from the unknown, and many doubts were suddenly answered at this moment...
Lih Tian was not skilled in the Path of Spirit Runes, so since entering this domain, the Red Talisman Society and Blood Servants had only mentioned this to him. Otherwise, such important information could not have been kept from him.
Lih Tian's ability to inscribe a complete Blood Eye Spirit Rune on his skeleton was not his own but was accomplished with the secret assistance of some will, making it possible to complete this almost impossible task.
He didn't care about his life and death, not because he truly didn't want to live or wasn't afraid of death, but because he was influenced by some will. His death, and the deaths of those Sacred Blood Summit cultivators, were all in preparation for this moment!
That will aimed to descend upon the Origin space!
That will was the will of the Blood Ancestor's treasure blood, and only it could make a Sun Blaze willingly die for it.
When meeting with Veteran Fang earlier, he mentioned that the Blood Ancestor's treasure blood could not enter this place, so to infiltrate the Origin, it had to rely on the constant deaths of Sacred Blood Summit cultivators. The saintliness left behind after their deaths would slowly infiltrate the Origin of Mount Fangcun, which was the scene Lu Ye first saw. However, after his assistance, the situation of the Origin improved significantly.
This space has been sealed by the Origin, making it difficult for the Blood Ancestor's treasure blood to descend. Otherwise, it would have succeeded long ago over the years.
According to its previous methods, perhaps with more time, the Origin would sooner or later be completely eroded by saintliness. Once that happens, the Origin space will no longer have the power to block, and when the Origin is tainted, the Core World will be under the control of the treasure blood's will. But that time frame is too long, the treasure blood's will is clearly impatient.
Looking at it this way, the earliest news Lu Ye heard from Xiang Yin was correct.
Xiang Yin said that if one day the Red Talisman Society and Sacred Blood Summit fight to a conclusion, then the lock on this world would be broken, which is as it should be. Because fundamentally, the contest between the Red Talisman Society and Sacred Blood Summit is a contest between the will of the Origin and the will of the treasure blood. No matter who wins in the end, there is no need to lock the domain anymore.
Moreover, at this moment, the treasure blood's will uses the Sun Blaze's remains as a vessel, and with the blood Qi of many initial Blood Race as the foundation, it has constructed Blood Eye Spirit Runes in this Origin space! 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
This lone spirit rune doesn't have much effect on its own, but it can resonate with the treasure blood's will outside, giving it guidance, thereby creating a flaw in the sealing of the core space.
The treasure blood's will can descend here using Lih Tian's remains as a medium!
Perhaps not only the will could descend, but even a drop of treasure blood itself might directly come.
Many thoughts flashed through Lu Ye's mind, and he immediately realized one thing—this was big trouble.
Originally thought that killing Lih Tian would be the end of the conflict, but who would have expected it to be just the beginning of a nightmare!
Turning to look around, regardless of his Blood Servants or the many cultivators of the Red Talisman Society, everyone was pale-faced and trembling.
They were obviously all affected by that Blood Eye Spirit Runes, and the great terror brought by the descending treasure blood's will made everyone unable to muster any resistance, especially the Blood Servants who all became weak as shrimp—that's the natural suppression of their bloodline.
Lu Ye wasn't as incapacitated, but under the influence of that Blood Eye Spirit Runes, his mind was restless, Divine Sea turbulent. If not for the seven-color Divine Lotus's protection, his situation wouldn't be much better than others; in such circumstances, it's impossible to take any action to prevent anything.
His heart was bitter. Lih Tian was right; in this battle, no one can win!
The people of Sacred Blood Summit were dead, not many from the Red Talisman Society and Blood Servants survived, and once the Blood Ancestor's treasure blood descended here, this space would likely lose all vitality!
In an instant, the light of the Blood Orb dazzled to the extreme, then in a flash of distortion unseen by everyone, it transformed.
The light dissipated, and that overwhelming terror that shrouded body and mind vanished, the turbulent Divine Sea calmed down. In contrast, each cultivator sprayed fresh blood from their mouths.
Lu Ye was no exception...
He raised his hand to wipe the corner of his mouth, and focused ahead, seeing that the Blood Orb had disappeared.
In its place was a slender, graceful figure, completely unclothed, with smooth curves, strangely devoid of any allure, yet filled with an exaggerated sense of explosive power.
She was a very tall woman, with long blood-colored hair draped down to cover her back, skin fair, and eyes blood-colored, yet the pupils were filled with intricate patterns like two shrunken Blood Moons embedded within them.
Lu Ye's heart raced!
Even though he had known long before that the Blood Ancestor's treasure blood nurtured its own will, he still couldn't believe this scene.
To know the Blood Ancestor had been dead for who knows how many years, her body split into several parts, becoming several domains, yet her drop of treasure blood had bizarrely survived.
Would this count as the Blood Ancestor's treasure blood avatar?
Is this considered Drop of Blood Rebirth?
Amidst the shock and concern, Lu Ye quickly noticed that the gaze of this treasure blood avatar wasn't so clear, with a hint of confusion and chaos.
He immediately understood that Veteran Fang was right, although the Blood Ancestor's treasure blood nurtured its own will, this will wasn't perfect and was still in a muddled state.
As such, her plan to borrow Lih Tian's remains and the blood Qi of many initial Blood Race to shape a body and descend here wasn't completely her doing, Lih Tian surely contributed to it!
In the Void, the figures of the Red Talisman Society and Blood Servants stood still, all staring dumbfounded at the suddenly appeared treasure blood avatar. No one knew what this situation was, why a being suddenly emerged.
No one dared to act recklessly, even though at this moment the treasure blood avatar felt utterly harmless, the terror it brought upon its descent lingered.
In this silence, the treasure blood avatar suddenly turned its head in a direction, precisely where Zhou Ran was.
Just one look and Zhou Ran felt impending doom, his expression becoming extremely fearful.
In contrast, the treasure blood avatar's bewildered gaze was filled with perplexity, as if she saw something strange, then she extended a hand in Zhou Ran's direction and gently clenched it.
Bloodlight exploded!
