The remaining Blood Race members were taken out of the Trap Ward. Following the Divine Healer’s instructions, one guard would be responsible for restricting each Blood Race member, making sure they were immovable.
Looking at this beautiful woman with a curvy figure, the Blood Race members snorted.
Despite Huang Liang’s cruel torture, he still couldn’t glean any information from them. What could a gentle and alluring woman like her could do?
The Divine Healer approached a Blood Race member and said gently, “In the past two days, I took some time to examine the corpses of the Blood Race and discovered that the composition of their bodies isn’t so different from that of the cultivators in Soaring Dragon Boundary. They’re made of flesh, and they’ll bleed when they’re injured. If their injuries are too severe, they’ll die. Although they’re from another world, it seems that it’s just a different world from Soaring Dragon Boundary that has nurtured a Race that is similar but slightly different from us.”
As she spoke, she lifted her finger and pointed at the Blood Race member. A cold glint flashed across everyone’s gaze.
Lu Ye and the others could clearly see that the cold glint came from a needle that was as thin as a strand of hair. As the Divine Healer flicked her finger, more and more thin needles were jabbed into the Blood Race member’s body.
Pretending to be calm, the Blood Race member asked with a frown, “What are you doing?”
He could feel there were some foreign bodies inside him, but he didn’t feel any discomfort. Therefore, he was puzzled as to what the Divine Healer was doing.
“There’s no rush.” The Divine Healer flashed a smile at him and approached the next Blood Race member.
Then, she flicked her finger again and jabbed many needles into him.
The rest of the Blood Race members were planted with the same mysterious needles.
Only then did the Divine Healer walk away as her eyes curved into crescents. With an amiable smile, she said to them, “Whoever tells us some information first will be killed sooner.”
All of them sneered. The first Blood Race member mocked, “In your dreams!”
“Well, don’t be too quick to make a decision.” Her soft tone didn’t sound like she was trying to intimidate the enemies. Instead, she sounded like she was acting coquettishly.
As soon as she finished speaking, the first Blood Race member, who was planted with the needles, was seen with his expression changed. He shrieked all of a sudden as though he was going through some unimaginable pain.
The shriek sounded so despondent that even the guards were shocked.
Following that, the Blood Race member covered his head and fell to his knees. With bloodshot eyes, he continued to wail.
Then, another person cried out. It was the second Blood Race member who was planted with the needles.
It was followed by the third and the fourth ones…
Even Huang Liang and the others, who had gone through the vicissitudes of life, felt a crawling sensation on their scalps.
He had used the Lightning Technique to torture the Blood Race members, but they didn’t become as mad as this. They wondered what move the famous Divine Healer, who had cured countless people over the years, had used that made these Blood Race members in so much pain.
At that moment, the Seniors saw her in a different light.
On the other hand, Lu Ye was mentally prepared as he had already expected this kind of outcome. Usually, women who were beautiful, curvy, and gentle must have another side to them.
They could also be horrifying and callous.
As expected, Medical Cultivators were a group of people who were inscrutable. Since they could cure people, they knew better than anyone else when it came to torturing others.
Lu Ye secretly told himself that he had to be careful when coming across Medical Cultivators from the opposing side in Jiu Zhou. He wouldn’t know what terrifying moves they had up their sleeves.
Their shrieks intensified as time passed. The cultivators that passed by turned to look at them, wondering what was going on.
Nevertheless, when they saw Huang Liang and the others, they formed some speculation, so they didn’t bother them.
Standing in front of the Trap Ward, the Divine Healer said, “Remember what I told you? I won’t repeat the same thing.”
The moment she finished her words, two Blood Race members scrambled to speak first. “I’ll tell you everything!”
Just moments ago, Huang Liang was unable to glean any information from these Blood Race members. However, barely several minutes had passed since the Divine Healer made a move, and they already suffered a mental breakdown during the torture.
Huang Liang and the others were astounded, but at the same time, they were glad that the Divine Healer was a cultivator in Soaring Dragon Boundary. If the Blood Race members could use the same move, that would be terrifying.
“Let’s hear from you, then.” The Divine Healer pointed at the one who spoke first. “Tell us everything about the Blood Race and Blood Boundary. You mustn’t hide anything!”
Following that, she pressed her hand against the Blood Race member’s chest. When she retracted her hand, there were more than ten needles in her palm. It wasn’t that she took pity on them. It was just that the person could hardly speak when going through such torment.
The excruciating pain subsided quickly, but the cries of his companions were still heard. As the Blood Race member recalled what had just happened, he shuddered. Not daring to hesitate, he said bitterly, “Blood Boundary is a mobile world, and we survive by snatching resources from others.”
As the rest of the captives continued to shriek, this Blood Race member told them everything he knew. He didn’t dare to hide anything from them.
His companions were listening to him. If he dared to hide anything, they would interrupt him. By then, he would have to bear the torture again.
As time passed, Huang Liang and the others got to know more about the Blood Race and Blood Boundary. They sported solemn expressions because the information they had gleaned from the Blood Race member was inconceivable.
They were mentally prepared that Soaring Dragon Boundary wasn’t the only world in the expansive universe.
Before the arrival of the Blood Race members, the Dragon Throne, which came from another world, had already existed.
Since there was something that wasn’t from Soaring Dragon Boundary, there must be other worlds.
Blood Boundary was one of the worlds in the expansive universe, but it was unlike most worlds with permanent locations. It was a mobile world.
The characteristics of Blood Boundary could be summed up with one word, which was pillage. When they came across another world while moving around, Blood Boundary would attach itself to the world and suck in all the heritage to strengthen itself.
Every world had its own heritage. The strength of a world’s heritage was correlated to the power of the living creatures in that world.
This kind of heritage could be considered the foundation or the source of a world.
For example, the heritage of Myriad Beast Domain, which Lu Ye had visited before, wasn’t strong. That was because the strongest cultivators in that world were only Cloud River Realm Masters.
With that said, Myriad Beast Domain wasn’t the world with the weakest heritage. There were even weaker worlds in the vast universe. Perhaps in many of those worlds, civilisations weren’t even born, let alone the existence of cultivators. There might also be some worlds where only commoners existed.
There was no doubt the heritage of Soaring Dragon Boundary was stronger than that of Myriad Beast Domain. It might even be comparable to Jiu Zhou because Divine Ocean Realm Masters once lived in this world.
If nothing unexpected had happened, there wouldn’t have been any changes to this world.
Nonetheless, when Blood Boundary came near Soaring Dragon Boundary eight hundred years ago, everything changed.
A Heavenly Gully that never dissipated appeared in the northernmost area.
The reason the Heavenly Gully was born was that Blood Boundary had attached itself to Soaring Dragon Boundary, causing a mark to form in the sky.
It was like a leech on a Human.
Over the past eight hundred years, Blood Boundary had been sucking in the heritage of Soaring Dragon Boundary, causing the foundation to weaken.
As such, the limit of the cultivators continuously decreased. It went from the Divine Ocean Realm to the Real Lake Realm and eventually Cloud River Realm.
If this went on for hundreds of years more, only Spirit Creek Realm Masters would be left.
Snatching resources from another world had never been easy. It would usually take hundreds of years to more than a thousand years.
Even though the heritage of Soaring Dragon Boundary would all be gone if the Blood Race members waited for a longer time, they still decided to invade. That was because their invasion would accelerate the process.
That was the standard procedure of the Blood Race and Blood Boundary when it came to invading another world.
First of all, Blood Boundary would attach itself to the world and cause the powers of all the living creatures to weaken, after which the Blood Race members would invade the world to accelerate the process. When they chose to invade, it meant that the people in that world no longer had the power to resist.
In truth, if not for the fact that Lu Ye had built a Grand Ward in the Valley of Medicine and saved the allied forces, all of them would’ve been killed in the previous battle. Once that happened, there was no way the rest of the martial world could fend off the Blood Race.
Having said that, it wasn’t easy for the Blood Race members to invade another world.
Every world had a spirituality of its own, especially a world like Soaring Dragon Boundary which had nurtured a community of cultivators. The world’s will was everywhere. The will might not have any sentience, but when the world was faced with a crisis, it would react accordingly.
That was the reason heroes would be born during chaotic times. Those heroes bore the world’s luck, and it was the way the world’s will dealt with the crisis.
The calamity itself could evoke the reaction of the world’s will.
If there were invaders, the reaction would be even more intense.
Therefore, if the Blood Race members wanted to invade another world, they needed some moles, without whom they couldn’t forcibly arrive at that world.
The Heavenly Gully Cult served that purpose in Soaring Dragon Boundary.
The Heavenly Sage of the Heavenly Gully Cult had been trying to figure out the secrets behind the Heavenly Gully for decades, which was how he developed some connections with the Blood Race.
The Blood River Grand Ward was taught by the Blood Race to allow them to arrive in this world.
Despite that, they were still influenced by this world upon their arrival. Even Blood Race members in the Real Lake Realm could only use the power of the Peak Cloud River Realm. The same rule applied to the Spirit Creek Battlefield in Jiu Zhou.
Individuals weren’t able to resist the world’s suppression. Only a world of the same capacity could do that.
Now, the Blood Race members had invaded this world. For the past two days, they had never made a move or gone to the Valley of Medicine. It wasn’t that they didn’t want to avenge their clansmen’s death, but they had bigger fish to fry.
They were trying to build a special altar to allow Blood Boundary to be fully attached to this world. When that happened, the heritage of Soaring Dragon Boundary would be sucked dry in a short time.
By then, they could easily get their revenge.
