Chapter 1835: Rare and Wonderful Ideas

As expected, Chen Xuanhai’s pursuit yielded no results. He clearly knew that continuing the chase would only be a waste of time, so he returned to the Blood Extinction Realm with Lu Ye.

In the conflict at the Sunlit Realm level, the Blood Race suffered a crushing defeat. Two of their six Sunlit cultivators died, and four escaped. Including the three killed earlier in the Southern Square Inch Mountain, more than half of the Blood Extinction Realm’s nine Sunlit cultivators died within just a few days.

This was an unimaginable achievement, one that rarely occurs. Conflicts between Sunlit cultivators rarely result in casualties, let alone such heavy losses.

Within the Blood Extinction Realm, war raged.

The Blood Race Sunlit cultivators either died or fled. The remaining Blood Race members had no fighting spirit or morale left. Those who were quick-witted had already escaped the realm, while the slow ones were simply killed.

As the Sunlit cultivators of the Pygmy Race returned one after another, the clean-up operation against the Blood Race within the Blood Extinction Realm became more thorough. Large numbers of Blood Race members were killed. Within just a few days, hardly a single living Blood Race member could be seen in the entire realm. Moreover, the conflict began to spread throughout the entire Blood Extinction Star System.

The Blood Extinction Star System was a rich star system, containing numerous realms of varying sizes. These realms had always been under the Blood Extinction Realm's brutal rule, suffering greatly from the Blood Race's bullying and oppression. The beings in those realms were essentially blood-food raised by the Blood Race, living miserable lives.

Now that the Blood Extinction Realm had been breached, although the Pygmy Race could not completely annihilate them, they would not let go of the Blood Race members living in other realms.

The Sunlit cultivators formed pairs and swept into the depths of the star system. Soon, in realm after realm throughout the star system, any Blood Race members encountered were killed without mercy.

The Pygmy Race and the Blood Race had an ancient blood feud. The splitting of Square Inch Mountain was the work of the Blood Ancestor, a fact recorded in the Breath Abyss Pavilion and remembered by generations of Pygmy Race members.

Unfortunately, with the splitting of Square Inch Mountain, the Pygmy Race also fragmented. Coupled with the unique wandering nature of the various Square Inch Mountain factions, they never had the chance for revenge over the years.

This time, destroying the Blood Extinction Realm, could be described as a thorough and satisfying slaughter, and a powerful release of pent-up resentment.

Throughout the Southern Square Inch Mountain, numerous Pygmy Race members cheered excitedly, feeling that their Sunlit cultivators were supremely mighty, and that compared to them, the Blood Race Sunlit cultivators were nothing.

Only a few knew that the fundamental reason for such a decisive victory was not the Pygmy Race itself, but rather Lu Ye, the human.

At this moment, at the former location of the altar beneath Six-Finger Mountain, Lu Ye sat cross-legged on a high spot, with a copper-green staff several meters long laid across his lap, his eyes closed in contemplation.

This object was the Blood Race's ancestral artifact. In Lu Ye's understanding, it should have been left behind by the Blood Ancestor, which was why the Blood Race could use it to control the realm's power.

Previously, under his control, Six-Finger Mountain transformed from an open palm into a fist, causing the mountain rocks to collapse. The altar was buried, and this ancestral artifact was also buried deep underground.

He had painstakingly dug it out.

He wanted to investigate what profound mysteries this object held, that it allowed several Blood Race Sunlit cultivators, who were not realm masters, to collectively control the realm's power.

Yet, strangely, no matter how he investigated, he could not find anything special about the staff. It seemed like an ordinary object passed down from ancient times, without any energy fluctuations.

Despite this, Lu Ye was able to use this staff to strengthen his connection with the entire Blood Extinction Realm. In other words, he could also use it to control the realm, just as the Blood Race Sunlit cultivators did.

Perhaps because he had refined the Blood Ancestor's precious blood, he could do it better and more easily than the Blood Race Sunlit cultivators.

Previously, to control the realm, he needed to delve into specific locations within the Blood River beneath the Blood Extinction Realm, using his main body supplemented by seven precious blood clones. But now, with the staff in hand, he could achieve the same results.

If his previous method was likened to Lu Ye wearing the entire Blood Extinction Realm as armor, similar to a mechanical puppet, then using the ancestral artifact to control the realm was like turning the Blood Extinction Realm into a marionette.

The methods of control were different, but the results were similar.

Presumably, those Blood Race Sunlit cultivators also achieved this in the same way. With the power of the ancestral artifact, the Blood Extinction Realm became their marionette. Lu Ye clearly remembered that under the activation of those Sunlit cultivators, the towering Six-Finger Mountain trembled slightly and launched a massive blood handprint towards the starry sky. The power of that single palm strike injured all eight Pygmy Race Sunlit cultivators, forcing them to retreat in disarray.

The power of that strike was utterly terrifying.

He could now do the same. Lu Ye's heart burned with excitement. Although the Blood Extinction Realm was a realm, with his current methods, he could completely use it as a great weapon.

If he could shrink the Blood Extinction Realm and carry it with him at all times, what Sunlit cultivator would he need to fear?

On that day in the Myriad Forms Sea, facing Yuan Du's terrifying pressure, Lu Ye's memory was still fresh. The path of cultivation was long, and before one had enough strength, many external forces were indispensable.

Unfortunately, this was merely a thought. The Blood Extinction Realm was a realm, and its size was not small. It was not a magical artifact, so Lu Ye naturally could not carry it with him at all times.

Lost in thought, Lu Ye suddenly had an idea. If he could bring the Blood Extinction Realm back to Kyushu… that might not be a bad idea?

Although Kyushu now had Square Inch Mountain as its backing and support, ensuring its basic safety, who would complain about having more means of self-preservation?

If he could truly bring the Blood Extinction Realm back to Kyushu, then Kyushu would undoubtedly gain another powerful means of self-preservation.

Furthermore, the Blood Refinement Realm was there. The Blood Extinction Realm and the Blood Refinement Realm shared a common origin, both being parts of the Blood Ancestor's body. Lu Ye had previously tried to control the Blood Refinement Realm without success. He didn't continue trying, firstly because he felt it was too difficult with his current strength, and secondly, he thought that even if he succeeded, it would be meaningless. The entire Blood Refinement Realm was just a torso without a head or limbs; what could he do even if he controlled it?

But if he brought the Blood Extinction Realm back, that massive torso would have an arm to swing. Imagine how magnificent the scene would be if the Blood Refinement Realm, as the torso, wielded the Blood Extinction Realm as its arm?

Who could withstand such a terrifying offensive?

Of course, if he truly wanted to achieve this, his cultivation level would need to increase significantly; otherwise, it would be impossible. But cultivation could be slowly accumulated through practice, and missing this opportunity might mean never encountering it again.

Once this thought arose, he could no longer suppress it.

The Blood Extinction Realm, he would bring it back to Kyushu!

Achieving this would be difficult; moving an entire realm was no joke. But it was not without hope.

For the next period of time, Lu Ye was constantly busy with this matter.

A month after Southern Square Inch Mountain collided with the Blood Extinction Realm, the Sunlit cultivators who had gone out to cleanse the Blood Race gradually returned. During this time, the eight of them traveled throughout the star system, moving from one realm to another, meticulously killing every Blood Race member they could find.

In those numerous realms, beings of various races who had been enslaved and oppressed by the Blood Race for countless years worshipped them and wept with gratitude.

Within the Blood Extinction Realm, in a temporary palace that once belonged to an unknown Blood Race Sunlit cultivator, the eight Pygmy Race Sunlit cultivators gathered.

The palace had been affected by the great battle. Fortunately, it had not completely collapsed and was still usable.

They each recounted the results of their month-long efforts. After a long while, Yu Qinglou sighed, "If we don't eradicate the roots, what we have done today ultimately cannot solve the problem fundamentally."

During this period, although the Blood Race suffered heavy casualties, four Blood Race Sunlit cultivators, along with some Moon Radiance and Star Constellation cultivators, still managed to escape.

They must now be hiding or have fled this star system, which was why the Pygmy Race Sunlit cultivators could not find their traces.

In the short term, they certainly wouldn't dare to return. But the Pygmy Race could not stay here indefinitely. They would eventually have to resume their journey, a fact the Blood Race also knew.

Once the Pygmy Race left, and those Blood Race Sunlit cultivators, Moon Radiance, and Star Constellation cultivators returned, the many realms they had saved today would ultimately fall back into the Blood Race's demonic clutches.

"There's nothing we can do about it," Zhang Kun sighed. "We can't take all the beings from so many realms with us, nor can we stay here. To have achieved this much, our race has already done its utmost."

The others remained silent. Although they knew the future would inevitably be as speculated, it was still hard to accept. When they were clearing out the Blood Race this time, they had personally witnessed the miserable lives of many beings. Some severely oppressed races were practically herded like livestock.

"There is a way!" a voice suddenly came from outside the hall. Everyone knew who it was without needing to look.

Lu Ye stepped in. Weng Xiong immediately greeted him enthusiastically, "Junior Brother Lu!"

"Junior Brother."

"Junior Brother Lu."

Greetings sounded one after another. Looking across the entire star system, Lu Ye was probably the only Moon Radiance cultivator who could receive such enthusiastic greetings from so many Sunlit cultivators.

"Greetings, Senior Brothers and Senior Sister," Lu Ye bowed to all sides.

He looked up and saw Su Yuqing waving to him, signaling him to sit by her. Lu Ye walked over and took a seat beside Su Yuqing.

"What have you been busy with lately? Xiang Yin said she couldn't even catch a glimpse of you," Su Yuqing asked. When she returned earlier, she had looked for Lu Ye briefly but couldn't find him. She asked the Xiang Yin sisters, and they also said they didn't know.

If Lu Ye hadn't appeared on his own at this moment, Su Yuqing truly wouldn't have known where to find him.

"Busy with something big!" Lu Ye said with a mysterious expression.

The group of Sunlit cultivators became interested. Yu Qinglou asked, "Is what Junior Brother mentioned related to what you just said?"

"Precisely!" Lu Ye nodded.

Chen Xuanhai raised an eyebrow. "Junior Brother, what method do you have to fundamentally solve the problems this star system will face in the future?"

Undeniably, Lu Ye had a unique advantage in dealing with the Blood Race. But killing enemies was one thing, and handling the aftermath was another. They, a group of Sunlit cultivators, were gathered here, at a loss and without a solution. Yet Lu Ye seemed to have great confidence?
