In front of the altar, the nine-metre scarlet figure stood there as a savage aura engulfed him. He was like a ferocious Dragon who was still in a groggy state after waking up from his sleep.
Huang Liang’s roar reverberated across the entire battlefield, but upon seeing that Lu Ye remained motionless, he realised that something was off.
Something must have happened to Lu Ye.
While he was in his thoughts, someone else bellowed, “Kill him right now!”
The person’s voice was filled with anxiety.
He was none other than the Blood Lord.
As a Divine Ocean Realm Master, he never had any regard for the cultivators in Soaring Dragon Boundary. Even when he was trapped in the formation by those from Grandeur Academy, he remained calm and collected.
However, the moment Lu Ye activated the Dragon Throne, he was alarmed.
The red Armour Golem gave him a great sense of threat.
Not only did he feel that his life was threatened, but he also felt that the altar might be destroyed.
As a Blood Race member, he wasn’t afraid of death, but the altar couldn’t be destroyed, for it had something to do with the landing of Blood Boundary. If the altar was gone, all his effort would go to waste, and the arrival of Blood Boundary would be delayed.
Even if he was still alive by then, he would be punished harshly for his mistake.
As such, he had to kill the cultivator glad in the Armour Golem as quickly as possible.
Huang Liang could tell that something was off with Lu Ye. Certainly, the Blood Lord could see the problem as well. That was the reason Lu Ye became motionless after activating the divine item.
There was no doubt it was the best chance to kill Lu Ye.
He initially wanted to do it himself, but Yuan Changcun and the Sword Cultivators from Grandeur Academy just wouldn’t let him go. Regardless of how many Blood Secret Techniques he used, he couldn’t break free from their siege. He had to kill Yuan Changcun and the others first.
Following his order, the Blood Race members came to their senses and charged towards Lu Ye.
Lu Ye, who had been motionless for quite a while, finally moved. Even though he only gently lifted his hand and pushed out his leg, he easily killed the powerful Blood Race members.
His movements were simple, but none of the Blood Race members could dodge his attacks.
Looking from afar, it was as if a group of mischievous kids were provoking a tall and muscular adult. Regardless of what the kids did, they couldn’t harm the adult. The sight was comical yet bloody.
The Blood Race members who charged forward were either killed or sent flying away as all their bones cracked.
Inside the Armour Golem, Lu Ye examined himself in silence.
Although he was clad in a nine-metre Armour Golem, and he seemed to have turned into such a colossal figure as well, he didn’t feel any discomfort. His movements were still smooth and natural.
Presently, he and the Dragon Throne had become one.
Every part of the nine-metre Armour Golem was the extension of his body.
The only thing he wasn’t used to was that something seemed to be missing from his hand.
For a very long time, he always used his Inviolable Saber when dealing with enemies. It was rare that he fought his enemies with his bare hands. As such, he felt awkward at this moment.
Certainly, he could still use his Inviolable Saber, but it would be ridiculous to hold the weapon as a nine-metre figure. Therefore, he’d rather use his fists.
Fortunately, after one grasped combat skills, he would never forget. Even though he didn’t have any weapon in his hand, it didn’t affect him much. He only felt somewhat hollow.
“Protect him!” Huang Liang ordered as he dashed forward and led the cultivators to surround Lu Ye so that they could help ease his pressure.
He initially thought that something was off with Lu Ye since the latter ignored him. Now, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with Lu Ye. Otherwise, he couldn’t have warded off the Blood Race members.
The way Lu Ye killed the enemies made him realise the crux of the problem.
Lu Ye had been destroying the enemies using the simplest moves. None of his moves were redundant. Apparently, he didn’t want to waste any energy.
Huang Liang had some speculation, but he wasn’t certain.
Anyway, it wasn’t the right time to ask about it. Since Lu Ye wanted to save some energy, he had to coordinate with him.
Soon enough, Lu Ye was surrounded by Humans and Blood Race members. As they clashed and used their lethal moves, their Spiritual Powers turned the place into a mess.
None of the cultivators from both sides could’ve expected the shift of attention during the war.
Presently, Lu Ye’s location was truly the centre of the world.
One side was on the offensive while the other side was on the defensive. They had fully activated their powers. Lives were lost like they were withered leaves. Countless corpses were sent flying away as they turned into minced meat.
Inside the Heavenly Gully, the blood light thickened. An aura that was unfamiliar to the cultivators in Soaring Dragon Boundary continued to permeate the place.
Lu Ye remained in the same spot without joining the battle. When he activated the Dragon Throne and felt his soul being elevated, he detected the source of the aura. It was the aura that came from another world. It was the aura of Blood Boundary.
It was an aura that was filled with ferocity and aggression!
Inside the Heavenly Gully, countless figures were seen squirming in the blood light. They were powerful Blood Race members. With the help of the altar, they would arrive in this world at any moment.
[Hurry up! Hurry up!]
As if knowing what was on his mind, the blood light, which had shot out from Vajra Temple, seemed to have hastened its pace. Wherever it went, it left behind a lasting mark in the air.
During a chaotic time like this, Human lives were worthless.
Even the successful cultivators were not spared the same fate.
Every second, there would be cultivators getting killed around Lu Ye. Even a powerful cultivator like Huang Liang was badly injured. Still, he was determined to contend with the enemies and protect Lu Ye.
After several rounds of attacks, the Blood Race members were still unable to tear apart their defence line. The Blood Lord kept growling, no longer as calm and collected as before.
In the Void, the Blood Race members had always been haughty as they had no regard for other Races, especially Humans, who were naturally frail. To the Blood Race members, Humans were the weakest Race.
However, having witnessed the collective power of the cultivators in Soaring Dragon Boundary, the Blood Race members had to admit that the naturally weak Humans could sometimes exhibit unimaginable resilience and obstinacy.
These characteristics were not found in many of the Races in the Void. They were envious of Humans for having those characteristics.
“Is it coming?” Huang Liang asked loudly amidst the chaos.
“It’ll be here soon!” Lu Ye was heard responding from the Armour Golem. He could feel that the blood light that was coming to the north was getting closer to him.
Upon getting Lu Ye’s reply, Huang Liang became at ease, knowing that his speculation was right.
Lu Ye didn’t make a big move because he was conserving his energy and waiting for a particular thing.
It was something that had been suppressed in Vajra Temple for over two thousand years!
All his anxiety was gone in an instant. Huang Liang was feeling hopeful. Even though he was badly injured, he still appeared expectant.
Nevertheless, his hope came apart the next moment.
When he looked up, he saw the blood light surging from the Heavenly Gully. The blood river came pouring down once again. As that happened, the figures of Blood Race members were seen coming over.
Another batch of Blood Race members had arrived!
He wasn’t the only one who saw the sight. All the cultivators from this world who saw that fell into a despairing state.
They already didn’t have the confidence to defeat the current batch of Blood Race members, and now the next batch of enemies had arrived. How were they even supposed to counterattack?
Many Blood Race members emerged from the blood river. Their auras were ample as they charged forward and joined the battle without a word.
An old-looking Blood Race member hovered in mid-air with his hands behind his back. As he swept a glance over the battlefield, he snorted. “You’re still so useless, Blood Lord!”
A frustrated Blood Lord, who was besieged by Yuan Changcun and the others, bellowed, “Cut the crap and take down the Armour Golem. He might ruin our plan!”
The old Blood Race member replied dispassionately, “I don’t need you to tell me what to do!”
He then shifted his attention to Lu Ye and ordered lightly, “Kill him.”
His voice sounded so calm that it was as if he was just trying to kill a fly.
With so many new Blood Race members joining the war, the defence line around Lu Ye was on the brink of coming apart. Several gaps had been formed in an instant.
Many Blood Race members broke through the gaps and bolted towards Lu Ye.
Lu Ye, who had been motionless in the same spot, lifted his hand all of a sudden. As that happened, the entire sky changed. Dark clouds formed as bolts of lightning wandered around. The entire world seemed to be engulfed in Heavenly pressure.
On the boisterous battlefield, both Humans and the Blood Race members, regardless of whether they were paying attention to what was going on at the altar, were able to see Lu Ye’s hand.
“Huh?” The old Blood Race member, who had just arrived in this world, felt a ferocious aura coming from a particular direction.
He quickly turned around and saw something inconceivable.
In the southeast, a blood light broke through the air and left a lasting mark in the sky.
“What’s that?” The old Blood Race member frowned. As he looked intently, his expression changed the next moment.
He seemed to be seeing a hideous Dragon that was zigzagging towards them.
The aura coming from the blood light perfectly matched that of the Armour Golem.
Although the old Blood Race member had no idea what was going on, he knew he couldn’t let the blood light approach the battlefield. As such, he leapt and dashed towards the blood light. Before he even arrived, the blood mist around him turned into a blood sea, which seemed to have a spirituality of its own as it flowed towards the blood light and engulfed it.
This particular Secret Technique of the Blood Race was highly corrosive to the spiritualities of Spirit Artifacts and the cultivators’ Spiritual Power Shields. The old Blood Race member decided to use a Secret Technique that might harm himself. Regardless of what the thing was, as long as it had a spirituality, it would fall under his control and be corroded.
Nevertheless, a shriek was heard coming from the blood sea the next moment.
