Almost at the sa ti Lu Ye finished speaking, Dao Thirteen had already acted. He grabbed the unfamiliar Blood Race mber's wrist, and with just a slight exertion, twisted the opponent's arm into a pretzel shape.
The unfamiliar Blood Race mber scread in agony, their spirit force surged wildly, and a dense blood-red color poured out from within, desperately trying to break free from Dao Thirteen's grip.
Although Dao Thirteen's cultivation was indeed lacking, his Divine Sea Realm physique was still there, how could that unfamiliar Blood Race mber escape?
A look of anger and horror appeared on his face, and he shouted sharply, "You audacious Blood Food, release at once!"
Never before had he experienced such a bizarre event, a re Blood Food not only didn't fear him but also dared to attack him.
His struggles made Dao Thirteen very irritated, so he pulled hard, dragging the Blood Race mber in front of him, and head-butted him.
With a loud bang, Dao Thirteen was safe and sound, but the unfamiliar Blood Race mber was left dizzy and seeing stars.
He finally realized sothing was wrong, the two Blood Foods in front of him were not the type to follow his every command but were rebellious, and the blood glow around him grew denser, suddenly transforming into a pool of Blood Water.
Such a strange secret technique Dao Thirteen had never seen before, and being caught off guard, his hand lightened as the unfamiliar Blood Race mber had already broken free of his constraint.
The blood glow shifted, ready to flee into the distance.
However, Lu Ye had been prepared, and with a surge of his ntal Consciousness, he launched an invisible impact towards the blood glow.
A scream rang out as the blood glow twisted, revealing the figure of the unfamiliar Blood Race mber.
Seeing this, Dao Thirteen also activated his ntal Consciousness and added a strike.
The unfamiliar Blood Race mber imdiately lay on the ground, convulsing uncontrollably...
He was just a Cloud River Realm and couldn't withstand the successive ntal Consciousness attacks from Lu Ye and Dao Thirteen. At this mont, his mind was in complete disarray, even if he recovered, he would likely be left stupefied.
Lu Ye stepped forward, raised his hand, and pointed at his forehead, hesitating for a mont before finally urging a bit of telepathy on him!
To gather intelligence about this domain, starting from this Blood Race mber was undoubtedly the most suitable.
This was the first ti Lu Ye used so telepathy, because this divine rune was related to the psyche, so he was very cautious.
Amidst the surge of ntal Consciousness, he easily broke through the unfamiliar Blood Race mber's psyche defense. The mont the divine rune was constructed successfully, Lu Ye frowned as unfamiliar scenes and nurous pieces of information inexplicably flooded into his mind like a tidal wave.
The feeling was very strange and uncomfortable.
While he was feeling unwell, the unfamiliar Blood Race mber also didn't fare well. The Blood Race who was almost unconscious suddenly widened his eyes, trembling violently, his eyes full of shock and disbelief, evidently having probed into so of Lu Ye's secrets.
After a long mont, Lu Ye finally withdrew his finger and stepped aside, his face visibly pale, and his forehead covered in sweat.
The many unfamiliar images and information mixed in his mind, impacting his spirit, so Lu Ye quickly took out a drop of Soul Cleansing Water and swallowed it, which made him feel sowhat better.
He secretly decided never to use a bit of telepathy easily unless absolutely necessary in the future. Although this divine rune was marvelous, it was a tornt for both himself and others.
Perhaps it would be better when his psyche beca stronger in the future, but for now, the experience brought by activating this psyche was by no ans pleasant.
Fortunately, he had gleaned much information about this domain.
"Keep an eye on him!" Lu Ye instructed Dao Thirteen, sitting down cross-legged to silently digest the various pieces of intelligence he had just acquired.
It was sowhat different from what he imagined, as this place should not be the Blood World that had once destroyed the Soaring Dragon World, but rather a domain called the Blood Refinent World.
This domain is vast, comparable to the Nine Provinces, with the Blood Race being the dominant force.
It also hosts a large number of the human race, but the humans are rely Blood Food reared by the Blood Race, much like livestock.
In the Blood Refinent World, the status of the Blood Race is paramount, and they can take from or kill the human race at will. This deeply ingrained ideology over countless years has left most humans without any rebellious thoughts against the Blood Race, and many don't even know what the Blood Race is.
They only know of the Sacred Race!
Take the nearby village, for instance; from the village chief down to the village children, none have seen the Blood Race. All who have seen them are dead.
Many things that puzzled Lu Ye beca clear now.
Previously, Lu Ye found it strange why the villagers seed well-fed and clothed but were perpetually worried and shut their doors tightly at night.
Now he understood; death could co at any mont. In such a stifling atmosphere, how could the villagers be at ease? Closing their doors at night was an instinctive defense against the Blood Race, but what use was it?
When the Blood Race ca to the village, they could take whoever they wanted, and the flimsy doors were no barrier to their invasion.
There were many people in the village because the Blood Race kept the humans as livestock. As livestock, naturally, they encouraged breeding, so each household tried to have as many children as possible.
The Blood Race even allowed the humans to cultivate, because to the Blood Race, the blood of so cultivators with cultivation was more useful than that of ordinary people.
But the Blood Race did not allow humans to have overly powerful cultivators, so any human with cultivation exceeding a certain level would disappear without a trace during a certain period.
This is also why there are no old or highly cultivated humans in the village.
Once they grow old, they are of no use to the Blood Race and only serve as Blood Food.
In the Blood Refinent World, humans live a life worse than pigs or dogs, as they seldom live past forty years under the rule of the Blood Race.
Soone like the village chief is already considered a long-lived mber of the human race.
After organizing the complex information in his mind, Lu Ye slowly stood up and walked over to the Blood Race mber.
Having been successively assaulted by Lu Ye's and Dao Thirteen's ntal Consciousness, and also experiencing a touch of telepathy from Lu Ye, this Blood Race mber was now in a deep coma.
Lu Ye drew out the Boulder Mountain Saber and stabbed it into his chest.
The comatose Blood Race mber suddenly opened his eyes, body straightening, looking horrified and furious into Lu Ye's close eyes.
Lu Ye's gaze was cold and stern.
With a twist of the long saber, a blood-red dragon-eye-sized orb was gouged out from the chest.
The orb was entirely crimson, seemingly forged from fresh blood, resembling a Crystal Stone at first glance, appearing extrely solid.
This is the heart of the Blood Race, the culmination of their entire cultivation, similar to the demonic pill of a demon beast.
The Blood Race calls it a Blood Crystal!
It was the first ti Lu Ye knew about Blood Crystals; in the past, when he was slaughtering Blood Race in the Soaring Dragon World, he wore the Dragon Throne and killed wantonly, paying no attention to these details.
If not for using a bit of telepathy this ti to gather intelligence, he might have overlooked this matter.
Once the Blood Crystal was taken out, the Blood Race mber's head tilted, and he lost all breath.
Holding the Blood Crystal in his hand, Lu Ye scrutinized it for a mont, feeling quite conflicted.
To eat or not to eat, that is the question...
To dissolve the confinent force within him and restore his original cultivation, he must imprint as much information from this world within himself as possible, to assimilate with it, and the specific thod is to consu things from this world.
This is what he has been doing these past few days, progressing slowly. At the current pace, it will take at least two months to fully restore his cultivation; Dao Thirteen's pace will surely be slower because his cultivation is higher.
The main issue is they couldn't hunt any valuable demon beasts; what he and Dao Thirteen hunted were mostly ordinary beasts.
In comparison, this Blood Crystal in his hand is undoubtedly much more valuable.
If he truly refined the power within this Blood Crystal, Lu Ye believed he could dissolve a lot of the confinent force within him, possibly restoring part of his strength.
The Blood Race isn't the human race, but they do look sowhat similar; this object was taken from the Blood Race's body...
On second thought, since the Blood Race keeps humans as livestock for feeding, what's the harm in him eating a Blood Crystal? It's not like he hasn't eaten a demon beast's demonic pill before; just consider it a demonic pill.
This isn't the Nine Provinces; no matter what, the most important thing is to restore his cultivation as soon as possible.
With this thought, Lu Ye no longer hesitated, took out clean water to wash the Blood Crystal thoroughly, and then, under Dao Thirteen's astonished gaze, put it into his mouth.
It crunched crisply...
There wasn't any particularly distinct taste, not even much of a bloody taste; it wasn't hard to eat.
While eating, suddenly there was a sound of sothing moving through the air from not far away, Lu Ye calmly looked up to see a streak of blood light flying straight toward the village.
It was clear that another Blood Race mber was heading to the village to grab Blood Food.
Lu Ye then slightly mobilized his spirit force.
Sure enough, it imdiately attracted the Blood Race mber's attention, the direction of the blood light changed, flying over to this side, and soon landed close, revealing its figure.
Like the previous Blood Race mber, this one was tall and slender, with reddish skin and pointed ears.
The Blood Race's physique is generally taller than that of the human race.
Looking at his face, a scene imdiately surged into Lu Ye's mind.
This scene was from the dead Blood Race mber on the ground.
Because just one incense stick's ti ago, these two Blood Race mbers were still fighting.
In the Nine Provinces World, the human race is split into two major factions, constantly battling, year after year.
In this Blood Refinent World, the Blood Race is not a monolith either; their conflicts are even fiercer and more chaotic.
All of it is due to the existence of Blood Crystals.
When one Blood Race mber kills another, they can take the other's Blood Crystal, enhancing their cultivation, similar to how demon beasts can enhance themselves by devouring demon pills of the sa elent sign.
For this reason, the Blood Race grows faster than the human race, as they can devour each other's Blood Crystals to speed up their growth without significant risks.
This is an advantage the human race does not have, which is also why the Blood Race rules this domain.
One incense stick's ti ago, two Blood Race mbers battled, and the weaker one fled in disarray, ca to the village to supplent himself with Blood Food, and ended up being eliminated by Lu Ye and Dao Thirteen together.
One incense stick's ti later, the other Blood Race mber tracked this place, probably intending to enter the village for a bite, and got lured here by Lu Ye again.
The Blood Race mber landed and imdiately saw the tribe mber lying on the ground, then looked at Lu Ye and Dao Thirteen, unsure of the situation, and asked sternly, "How did he die?"
