Chapter 2059: Reckoning No More Blood Jade (Thanks to Youthful Deer for Alliance Lord's Reward)

Wind Rises in Kyushu

The internal chaos within Tianya Pavilion lasted a mere ten breaths before subsiding. Although the Blood race members stationed outside detected strong magical energy fluctuations from within, none dared to trespass. It was only when the entire Tianya Pavilion crumbled and numerous unfamiliar figures surged out that the Blood race members left guarding the exterior found themselves powerless to resist.

Wu Qimo personally escorted the captured Shilong. With the combined efforts of Lu Ye's true self and his Talent Tree clone, Shilong was sent into Western Fangcun Mountain via a void spirit-mark. Once there, under the watchful eye of Lu Ye's Talent Tree clone, the severely wounded Shilong had no chance of escape.

The battle in the Blood Jade Realm was far from over. The Blood race members around Tianya Pavilion were quickly annihilated. Numerous Lilliputian Sun Glimmers then scattered in all directions, each choosing a path and charging forward, leaving rivers of blood wherever they went. Furthermore, from within the ruins of Tianya Pavilion, Lu Ye maintained a colossal void spirit-mark. Through it, Lilliputian cultivators continuously poured in as reinforcements, forming pre-established teams and launching attacks in all directions!

Today would mark the obliteration of the Blood Jade Realm!

Ma Shangsi and Lu Ye's newly appointed Blood Attendants were also actively engaged. Despite their origins in the Blood race, their allegiance to Lu Ye meant they had no choice but to follow his commands. Furthermore, the Blood race itself was hardly benevolent; this was simply a matter of the victor claiming all and the vanquished losing everything.

The entire realm descended into chaos within an extremely short period. Aside from a lucky few Blood race cultivators who sensed trouble and escaped into the starry sky, none others survived. The Lilliputians showed no mercy towards the Blood race, nor did they concern themselves with any notion of bullying. From the Lilliputians' viewpoint, every Blood race member deserved death.

At this point, Lu Ye had already reached a specific location within the Blood Jade Realm. The Blood Jade Realm was similar in nature to the Bloodfiend Realm. If the Bloodfiend Realm was formed from the Blood Ancestor's left arm, then the Blood Jade Realm constituted his right arm. Consequently, the overall structures of the two realms were fundamentally the same, with only minor differences.

His direct involvement in the realm's conflict was no longer necessary; with all Blood race Sun Glimmers eradicated, the Lilliputians were guaranteed a decisive victory. His current objective was to replicate past events: to have Western Fangcun Mountain bring the Blood Jade Realm back to Kyushu. Repeating a task he had already completed once was, of course, not difficult for him.

His current location was within the crook of the Blood Ancestor's right arm, a critical node not only for the arm itself but for the entire realm. From this vantage point, Lu Ye clearly felt his connection to the Blood Jade Realm intensify significantly. He immediately understood he had found the correct location. Following that faint sensation, he continuously employed various techniques to delve deeper and deeper underground.

It took Lu Ye half a day to finally reach a specific subterranean point. Once there, his connection to the Blood Jade Realm grew even more intimate. This was, without a doubt, one of the Blood Ancestor's spiritual apertures!

Lu Ye sat cross-legged within it, immersing his mind. Soon, his vast consciousness, using this spiritual aperture as its focal point, began to spread across the entire realm. Across the vast starry sky, only Lu Ye, who had once refined the Blood Ancestor's precious blood, was capable of this feat. Even a Blood race member as mighty as Niutian Sacred Venerable did not possess such qualifications.

Suddenly, Lu Ye felt his body become extremely heavy. A familiar sensation resurfaced, as if he were draped in a cumbersome mechanized suit. He witnessed the entire Blood Jade Realm in a state of turmoil, with countless Blood race members fleeing in terror and numerous Lilliputian cultivators slaughtering indiscriminately. He observed his Blood Attendants, who, following his commands, were sweeping away all opposition. And there were many terrified Blood Slaves...

The purification of the Blood Jade Realm took only a few days. Although the realm was vast, with so many Lilliputian Sun Glimmers participating this time, the Blood race was utterly powerless to resist in the face of such overwhelming strength.

Days later, when the dust settled, no Blood race members remained in the realm except for Lu Ye's Blood Attendants. However, a significant number of Blood Slaves, formerly enslaved by the Blood race, still existed, and they were all terrified and disoriented. Western Fangcun Mountain, under the guidance of the Talent Tree clone, had already reached the appropriate position.

Where Lu Ye's true self stood, he reached out and a long pestle, several zhang in length, appeared in his hand. This was an ancestral artifact confiscated from the Bloodfiend Realm. With it, Lu Ye had previously been able to better mobilize the Bloodfiend Realm. He wondered if it would work here. He decided to give it a try.

With the ancestral artifact in hand, and his magical power flowing, Lu Ye's eyebrow lifted in surprise. It worked! The heavy sensation on his body had significantly diminished, and under Lu Ye's command, the entire Blood Jade Realm began to tremble. At the tip of the colossal right arm, six fingers unfurled, then slowly closed, grasping Western Fangcun Mountain, which had arrived at the location, firmly in its palm.

In the starry sky, the Lilliputian Sun Glimmers had gathered, quietly observing the scene.

"Although I've witnessed this once before, seeing it again today is still breathtaking," Zhang Kun mused. It was hard to fathom how incredibly powerful the Blood Ancestor had been, and how such a formidable entity could have been slain by the Lilliputian ancestors, its very corpse torn to pieces. Compared to the heroic might of their ancestors, even though they had now attained the Sun Glimmer realm, they likely still fell far short.

The Talent Tree clone then lifted the isolation around Western Fangcun Mountain. As a result, Western was once again drawn by the core, sweeping deeper into the starry sky and initiating the Blood Jade Realm's movement. However, having previously traversed a wormhole to reach this location, Western's return journey to Kyushu might now take a few extra years beyond the original schedule. Nevertheless, compared to the enormous gains, a few years of waiting was a worthwhile trade-off. From this day forward, the Blood Jade Realm would cease to exist in this star system.

With everything settled, a day later, numerous powerful figures gathered in Western Fangcun Mountain, and Lu Ye had also returned.

"There are many Blood Slaves from the Blood Jade Realm who have now been relocated to the main Fangcun Mountain," Ran Dongsheng reported on the current situation. "However, having been enslaved by the Blood race for generations, their true nature has long been eroded. It might take several more generations for them to slowly regain their individuality."

While the Lilliputians showed no quarter to the Blood race, the enslaved Blood Slaves were truly pitiable. If left to their own devices during the Blood Jade Realm's migration, few of these less powerful Blood Slaves would likely survive, as the movement of such a vast realm through space would cause significant environmental changes. Relocating them to Western Fangcun Mountain was the only viable solution. This was a consensus among all the Sun Glimmers. Once Western arrived in Kyushu, these Blood Slaves could be sent there for resettlement.

"What's the situation with Shilong?" Lu Ye asked, turning to Xu Pu, who had arrived from the south as reinforcement. After Shilong had been brought in, Xu Pu, along with Xia Yingyue, had interrogated him. Xu Pu, having previously learned various interrogation techniques, was particularly instrumental in this effort.

The other Sun Glimmers also listened intently. Although they had already gained considerable intelligence about the Tianya Pavilion meeting through Lu Ye's Talent Tree clone, many details remained unclear. It would, of course, be better if they could extract more precise information directly from Shilong.

Xu Pu shook his head. "Shilong genuinely doesn't know much," he stated. "Everything he knows was relayed to him by the Great Priest of the Insect race, and he hadn't withheld any information from the Blood race Sun Glimmers before this." After days of torment, Shilong was completely depleted, his very soul nearly shattered. Given such methods, Xu Pu was convinced that Shilong could not possibly be concealing anything.

All the Sun Glimmers frowned in unison. Why was the advent of this 'great trend' an opportunity for only the Insect and Blood races? Why could only the Great Priest of the Insect race perceive this trend? Why were other powerful individuals unable to? There were many unanswered questions, and no one to ask for answers. However, it was undeniable that the starry sky had indeed undergone several changes, the increased activity of cosmic spiritual energy being merely the most fundamental.

"Junior Brother Lu," Chen Xuanhai said, turning to Lu Ye, "Myriad Manifestations Sea is a diverse place, with frequent communication among various star systems, making it a convenient hub for contact. This matter might require a significant contribution from you."

Lu Ye nodded. "I have the same intention," he replied. "Once I return to Myriad Manifestations Sea, I will disseminate this information and see if anyone there has any insights."

Chen Xuanhai nodded. "There's no immediate hurry with this," he said. "The Insect race mentioned it could be anywhere from a few decades to a century, so we still have time to prepare."

"Western will be passing through numerous star systems soon," Zhang Kun stated. "We can see if there's an opportunity to visit some larger systems and gather information then."

"Actually, the best approach would be to travel to the Insect Sovereign Realm, seize the Great Priest of the Insect race, and question him directly."

"The Insect Sovereign Realm..." Chen Xuanhai slowly shook his head. "That is not a place one can simply trespass into."

Noticing his enigmatic demeanor, Lu Ye's curiosity was piqued. "What's so special about the Insect Sovereign Realm?" he asked. After years of venturing through the starry sky, his knowledge and experience had indeed expanded greatly. Nevertheless, there were still certain things he didn't fully grasp, like this Insect Sovereign Realm. He only knew that it was the Insect race's main base, and that all insect nests drifting throughout the starry sky originated from it.

Chen Xuanhai gave a wry smile. "Junior Brother, you may not be aware, but the Insect Sovereign Realm is essentially a colossal magnetar," he explained. "The entire realm is made of high-quality magnetar ore, and its magnetic field is both chaotic and intensely concentrated. No matter how powerful one might be, it's incredibly difficult to exert one's full strength once inside."

Lu Ye's expression instantly turned serious. "A magnetar!" He was, of course, familiar with magnetic fields. The chaotic blast zone near the Jade Snail Galaxy, for instance, was saturated with turbulent magnetic fields, where magnetic storms erupted sporadically, making it incredibly perilous. The sheer strength of the magnetic field within a magnetar composed purely of high-quality magnetic ore was almost unfathomable. In such an environment, any cultivator who ventured deep inside would experience a drastic decline in their cultivation due to magnetic field interference. A Sun Glimmer entering that realm might find their cultivation reduced to that of a Moonyao.

However, the unique nature of the Insect race granted them a natural resilience against this peculiar magnetic power. Lu Ye had experienced this firsthand. Back when the Kyushu army attacked underground insect nests, they used insect blood to refine special elixirs, which were then applied to cultivators' bodies to counteract the magnetic field interference. In essence, the Insect Sovereign Realm was naturally suited for the Insect race, making it impossible for any other race to establish a foothold there.
