Chapter 1803: Treasure Blood Descends

"What's going on?" Hu Dequan flew over and asked.

"I don't know!" Lu Ye shook his head. "But it's definitely nothing good."

The circumstances surrounding Li Tian's death were too strange. Reflecting on it now, it's as if he deliberately sought death. Not only that, but he was also completely indifferent to the lives of the cultivators under his command. Otherwise, with Shengxue Peak's foundation, our side wouldn't have won so easily.

Considering the current changes, Lu Ye couldn't help but form a bold hypothesis: Li Tian indeed had a contingency plan, but it could only take effect after his death. This was very peculiar; what was the point of a dead person leaving behind a contingency plan?

There was no time for deep thought. Lu Ye shouted, "Attack together!"

Whatever Li Tian's contingency plan was, they couldn't let him succeed. So, as long as they broke this blood sphere encasing the skeleton and then found a way to destroy the skeleton, whatever Li Tian was scheming would come to nothing.

Having just won a battle, the many cultivators, without a moment to catch their breath, attacked the blood sphere again, unleashing a barrage of fierce attacks.

However, frustratingly, no matter how fierce the attacks, they couldn't budge the blood sphere in the slightest; they only made it violently oscillate in the void.

Suddenly, Lu Ye stopped attacking and spread out his divine sense.

He vaguely sensed something approaching from all directions!

He soon realized what it was: streams of vital blood energy dissipated throughout this space, originating from the remnants left by deceased Shengxue Peak cultivators.

During the previous battle, after killing Shengxue Peak cultivators, the Blood Servants dared not refine their vital blood energy carelessly, because the vital blood of Shengxue Peak cultivators also contained sacred properties. Rashly refining it posed a risk to the Blood Servants, which was different from when they previously bathed in blood rain and refined the faint sacred properties contained within it.

As the Blood Servants did not refine it, this vital blood energy naturally remained in the areas where the cultivators had died.

Lu Ye had never imagined that these residual vital blood energies were now converging toward them, and the source of this convergence was undoubtedly that strange blood sphere. It seemed to have the ability to attract sacred vital blood energy!

Just Li Tian's vital blood energy encasing the skeleton had created the current situation. If these attracted vital blood energies were allowed to mix in, who knew what the situation would become.

Lu Ye quickly shouted, "Stop these vital blood energies!"

The many cultivators who were attacking the blood sphere paused at his words, quickly investigated, and soon discovered the problem. They immediately employed various methods to try and block them.

Lu Ye, moreover, unfurled his own blood sea, transforming it into a blood river, and together with other Blood Servants, they jointly sealed off a large area.

However, despite their efforts, the vital blood energies attracted from all directions could not be completely intercepted. Stream after stream of vital blood energy continuously flowed into the blood sphere, making its color even more concentrated.

Furthermore, intricate patterns began to appear on the surface of the blood sphere.

A faint, eerie aura began to emanate from within the blood sphere...

Lu Ye stole a glance at the blood sphere amidst the chaos, feeling extremely anxious but utterly helpless.

In just a few tens of breaths, the blood sphere was glowing intensely red, covered in patterns, and its crimson light illuminated all directions. At this moment, the blood sphere was almost indistinguishable from the blood moon Lu Ye had observed from outside earlier. Moreover, the various internal patterns interconnected and intertwined, making the blood sphere look even more like a wide-open, terrifying eye.

No more vital blood energy converged towards the blood sphere; what could be intercepted had been, and what couldn't had been absorbed by the blood sphere.

It was at this very instant that the void trembled, humming ceaselessly. In the ethereal realm, a powerful force seemed to descend from an unknown place, landing upon the blood sphere!

The blood sphere's already dazzling light instantly flared even brighter.

All cultivators staring at the blood sphere instantly became dazed, their spiritual seas turbulent.

Lu Ye was also affected, but much less severely than the others.

He stared at the blood sphere, which was undergoing dramatic changes and drawing power from an unknown source. Many of his doubts were suddenly answered at this moment...

Li Tian was not proficient in the Way of Spirit Patterns. That was why, since entering this realm, only the Red Talisman Society and the Blood Servants had mentioned this to him; otherwise, such crucial information couldn't have gone unmentioned.

Li Tian's ability to engrave a complete Blood Eye Spirit Pattern on his own skeleton was not his own power, but rather the assistance of some will acting in secret. Only then could such an almost impossible feat be accomplished.

He didn't care about his own life and death not because he truly didn't want to live or feared death, but because he was influenced by some will. His death, and even the deaths of those Shengxue Peak cultivators, were all in preparation for this very moment!

That will was about to descend upon the Origin Space!

That will was the will of the Blood Ancestor's Precious Blood. Only it could make a Sun Glimmering realm cultivator willingly die for it.

When he met Elder Fang previously, Elder Fang had said that the Blood Ancestor's Precious Blood could not enter this place. Therefore, if it wanted to taint the origin, it could only rely on the continuous deaths of Shengxue Peak cultivators. The sacred properties remaining after these cultivators died would slowly infiltrate the origin of Fangcun Mountain, which was the scene Lu Ye initially witnessed. However, after his assistance, the origin's condition had improved significantly.

This space had been sealed by the origin, making it difficult for the Blood Ancestor's Precious Blood to descend. Otherwise, it would have succeeded years ago.

According to its previous methods, perhaps after many more years, the origin would eventually be completely corrupted by the sacred properties. Once that happened, the Origin Space would lose its sealing power, and with the origin tainted, the core world would fall under the control of the Precious Blood's will. However, that timeline was too long, and the Precious Blood's will clearly couldn't wait.

From this perspective, a piece of information Lu Ye had heard from Xiangyin long ago was correct.

Xiangyin had said that if the Red Talisman Society and Shengxue Peak were to determine a victor one day, the realm's seal would be broken. This was to be expected, because fundamentally, the struggle between the Red Talisman Society and Shengxue Peak was a struggle between the will of the origin and the will of the Precious Blood. Regardless of who achieved final victory, there would be no need to seal the realm anymore.

Returning to the present moment, the Precious Blood's will had used the Sun Glimmering realm cultivator's skeleton as a foundation and the vital blood energy of numerous original Blood Clan members as a base to construct the Blood Eye Spirit Pattern within this Origin Space!

This single spirit pattern wouldn't have much effect on its own, but it could resonate with the Precious Blood's will outside, guiding it. This way, a flaw in the core space's seal would emerge.

The Precious Blood's will could then use Li Tian's skeleton as its anchor to descend upon this place!

Perhaps it wouldn't just be the will descending; that drop of Precious Blood itself might descend directly.

Numerous thoughts flashed through Lu Ye's mind, and he immediately understood one thing: This was a huge problem.

He had thought killing Li Tian would be the end of the war; who knew it was just the beginning of a nightmare!

He turned to look around; both the Blood Servants under his command and the many cultivators of the Red Talisman Society were pale and trembling.

They were clearly affected by the Blood Eye Spirit Pattern, and the great terror brought by the descent of the Precious Blood's will rendered everyone utterly powerless to resist. The Blood Servants, especially, had all become weak-kneed, a natural suppression from their bloodline.

Although Lu Ye was not as incapacitated, under the influence of the Blood Eye Spirit Pattern, his mind was unsettled and his spiritual sea churned. Had it not been for the protection of the Seven-Colored Divine Lotus, his situation would not have been much better than anyone else's. In such circumstances, it was impossible to intervene and stop anything.

A bitter feeling welled up within him. Li Tian was right: in this war, no one could win!

Shengxue Peak's people were all dead, and not many from the Red Talisman Society or the Blood Servants had survived. Once the Blood Ancestor's Precious Blood descended upon this place, this space would likely lose all vitality!

Suddenly, the blood sphere's light reached its peak brilliance, and then, unseen by everyone, it twisted and transformed.

The light dissipated, and the great terror that had enveloped their minds and bodies vanished with it. Their turbulent spiritual seas became calm at this moment. In stark contrast, one by one, the cultivators coughed up blood.

Lu Ye was no exception...

He raised a hand to wipe his mouth, then focused his gaze forward. What he saw was that the blood sphere had vanished.

In its place was a slender, graceful figure, completely unclothed, with smooth curves. Strangely, it held no allure, but instead exuded an exaggerated sense of explosive power.

It was a very tall woman with long, blood-red hair cascading down her back. Her skin was pale, and her eyes were crimson, but her pupils were covered in intricate patterns, as if two miniature blood moons were embedded within them.

Lu Ye's heart pounded!

Even though he had long known that the Blood Ancestor's Precious Blood had developed its own will, seeing this scene still filled him with disbelief.

It was important to remember that the Blood Ancestor had been dead for untold years, her corpse having split into several pieces, transforming into multiple realms. Yet, a single drop of her precious blood had strangely survived.

Could this be a blood avatar of the Blood Ancestor's Precious Blood?

Could this be considered rebirth from a single drop of blood?

Amidst his alarm, Lu Ye quickly noticed something: the blood avatar's gaze was not clear, revealing a sense of naivety and chaos.

He immediately understood that Elder Fang had been right: although these drops of the Blood Ancestor's Precious Blood had developed their own will, this will was incomplete and still in a state of ignorance.

From this perspective, her plan to use Li Tian's skeleton and the vital blood energy of numerous original Blood Clan members to form a physical body and descend upon this place was not something she could have perfected on her own. Li Tian must have played a crucial role in it!

In the void, the figures of the Red Talisman Society and the Blood Servants stood silently, all gaping at the suddenly appearing blood avatar. No one understood what was happening or why a being had suddenly emerged.

No one dared to make a move, even though the blood avatar currently seemed unthreatening. The great terror it had instilled in everyone during its descent still lingered.

In this silence, the blood avatar suddenly turned its head and looked in one direction, directly at where Zhou Ran was located.

With just one glance, Zhou Ran felt an overwhelming sense of impending doom, his expression turning utterly terrified.

In contrast, the blood avatar's naive eyes were filled with confusion, as if it had seen something strange. Then, she extended a hand towards Zhou Ran's direction and gently clenched it.

A burst of blood-red light exploded!
