Chapter 1565: Blood Moon's Lord

As expected, the increasingly dense bloodline aura in the surrounding space began to affect Xu Yang and Little Gray on his shoulder as they continuously approached their mysterious destination.

Little Gray, in particular, was quite vulnerable to external forces without fully manifesting his original Quasi-Emperor level physical body. Even with Xu Yang's aura protecting him, it was impossible to completely shield Little Gray from all external influences. More importantly, this bloodline aura contained a potent suppressive effect on the spiritual domain, which Xu Yang's protective barrier alone could not perfectly block.

Xu Yang naturally sensed Little Gray's agitated emotions. However, as they had entered the Blood Moon space, currently enveloped in a dense crimson glow, without any prior preparation, they faced various unknown risks. Xu Yang did not immediately intend to enhance the shielding effect against external forces for the little one. Instead, he wanted to understand what exactly was going on in this place. Little Gray naturally understood the true reason behind his master's approach. He gritted his teeth, trying his best to remain relatively calm and avoid distracting his master.

Soon, they spotted a crimson light at their destination's final location. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a very peculiar blood-red castle, whose surfaces were stained crimson, making it appear bizarre and eerie. Suddenly, without warning, all the blood-red stones in the vicinity seemed to gain life and spiritual guidance. They spontaneously floated into the air and then surged madly towards Xu Yang and Little Gray on his shoulder.

Xu Yang sneered, as if he had long anticipated the hidden dangers in the surroundings. However, an impact of this level was mere child's play to him.

"I don't care who's hiding in the dark. I hope you come out and face me quickly. Hiding like this is meaningless and only serves to slightly prolong your demise."

Xu Yang sneered, slowly raising his right hand. A powerful aura of energy instantly spread around his arm. The agitated Little Gray howled and roared wildly in the surrounding space like a beast. All the incoming blood-red rocks were instantly shattered into fragments by the impact wave released from Xu Yang's terrifying aura. Such a casual movement alone neutralized the attacks launched by the mysterious powerful beings lurking in the dark.

As expected, this initial encounter fully demonstrated Xu Yang's strength. The childish tricks did not recur. Instead, shadows with complete crimson outlines began to emerge unexpectedly from the edges of the surrounding darkness. Initially, there were only a handful, but as time passed, hundreds and thousands of crimson phantoms continuously surged like ghosts, enveloping Xu Yang and Little Gray. They quickly surrounded the man and the cat.

"A mere human, yet you possess the qualification to ascend the Blood Moon. I am curious about your identity and the powerful energy hidden within your bloodline. I can't wait to have a taste of you."

The voice speaking was surprisingly that of a woman, which puzzled Xu Yang. The bloodline aura he detected in this space was incredibly powerful, far beyond what a seemingly delicate woman could possess. However, a voice could not be faked, as it represented a person's innate soul attribute, which could never be changed.

Faced with this contradiction, Xu Yang immediately altered his combat strategy. He suddenly transformed into a ghostly streak of light, continuously weaving through the endless crimson phantoms, tearing open a breach in the encirclement to find the true source of power behind these illusions. Before long, the powerful woman hidden behind the scenes saw through Xu Yang's true intentions.

Dark, cold laughter echoed continuously, followed by layers of crimson bodies exploding and spreading their power as shockwaves, surging outwards and completely blocking Xu Yang's attempt to break through.

"My bloodline aura can instantly traverse any space in the vicinity. As long as it's within the range of my spiritual power, you have no area to move. Face my devouring power head-on. If you're not careful, you and your little pet will be completely drained by the bloodline power I release, and your life force will naturally become my nourishment."

"Daydreaming and wishful thinking are not good habits; they will gradually make you lose the courage to face reality."

No sooner had Xu Yang finished his sarcastic remark than a large expanse of golden light suddenly emanated from behind him, revealing the undisguised power of an angel. This indeed greatly shocked the mysterious woman hidden behind the scenes. "An angelic aura? I can't believe there's still a successor to angelic power in this era. Interesting. It seems the dominant position of the Human Spirit Six-Vein Royal Clans is about to be shaken."

The woman's voice contained a hint of suppressed glee, which only made Xu Yang question her identity further.

"I don't want to continue this entanglement with you. I'm eager to see your true form. Shall I personally destroy all your meaningless power, or will you voluntarily appear before me?"

Xu Yang once again presented the opponent with this either/or question. This time, however, the mysterious woman, capable of releasing strange bloodline power, made her decision almost immediately. All the crimson light around them vanished completely, replaced by the full, blood-red figure of a human woman appearing before Xu Yang and Little Gray.

Little Gray, however, with his keen insight, immediately recognized that the enchanting woman covered in crimson light was not truly human. She had merely used special means to hide her cat-like tail.

"Interesting, Master. Did you also notice the same thing I did?"

Xu Yang nodded gently. "Otherwise, what right would I have to be your master? Anything you can discover certainly wouldn't escape my eyes. If my judgment is correct, this woman should be of your kind, a cat, and a stunningly beautiful female cat at that. Little Gray, it seems your romantic encounter has arrived."

Without hesitation, Xu Yang openly teased the powerful cat-race woman, enveloped in crimson, right in front of his pet, Little Gray.
