Chapter 397: Infiltration
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
In the divinity obtained from ascending the Heaven Ascension Stairs, there was a blood pattern that might be the mark of a Supreme God.
The reason why Lu Ming was able to come to the Source Essence Layer back then was also because of the guidance of the blood pattern of the Supreme God Blood Tattoo within Moon Fiend’s body.
This made Lu Ming feel that by following this blood pattern, he probably could find something.
Of course, what he found was not important; what mattered was whether he could find a way to escape from the current danger.
In any case, it could be said to be a desperate move, or it could be said that the direction guided by the blood pattern was the last straw for Lu Ming and the others.
After all, apart from this, they really could not find any other way to go.
Under Lu Ming’s gaze, the blood pattern within the old divinity in Jiu Han’s body emerged.
It disregarded everything, and completely ignored the barrier of the remnants of the old divinity and Jiu Han’s body, drilling out from within Jiu Han’s body and shooting outwards.
Its speed was very fast.
It was a speed that even the Desolate Demon Lord could not react to.
However, as soon as it started, the array restrictions around Jiu Han suddenly lit up, and the light, like a barrier, tightly enveloped the colorful blood pattern. No matter how it struggled, it could not escape the restraint of the array restrictions.
It was like a pointer.
The surrounding array restrictions were like a dial.
The dial restrained the pointer, and the pointer indicated the direction.
A strange compass was formed just like that.
“It’s done!”
Lu Ming exhaled a breath, and was briefly relieved.
Beside him, Bai Zhe, who witnessed this scene, smiled and said, “Teacher Jiu Han, you’ve worked hard.”
The compass was formed, but Jiu Han was also held back in this compass.
Jiu Han waved his hand to indicate that it was not hard work, and then looked at the colorful blood pattern in the left front.
After a long time, Jiu Han sighed in a low voice.
“There’s nothing special about it.”
As Jiu Han’s voice fell, everyone present looked at each other in silence.
The expressions of the Desolate Demon Master and Bai Zhe were somewhat unhappy.
After some contemplation, Lu Ming understood their thoughts…
After untangling everything, what troubled and restrained them was just a spiritualized blood pattern.
It was nothing special. As long as there was a correct method, many people could cultivate the Spiritualized Blood Pattern.
However, it was this thing that had made them fight for countless years.
It was Lu Ming who broke the silence.
“This matter is not over yet. It’s not too late to be sentimental after we escape from danger.”
“And now, everyone, get ready.”
As he spoke, Lu Ming looked at the spiritualized blood pattern.
“Let’s see where this thing can take us.”
With the compass ready, the next step was to determine the direction of the journey.
Lu Ming set off alone, packing everything and everyone else into the Boshi Tower, and carried it along with him.
Inside the tower, Jiu Han was responsible for guiding the direction for Lu Ming.
In the desolate source essence layer, Lu Ming walked alone in solitude.
About a week later, Jiu Han’s voice suddenly sounded in Lu Ming’s mind.
“We’re here.”
“Ahead, underground.”
Only then did Lu Ming stop.
From any angle, the terrain ahead was no different from before.
Desolate and empty.
However, the restrained Spiritualized Blood Pattern did point to the underground ahead.
That was where the Spiritualized Blood Pattern was going, and also where Lu Ming and the others were going.
Lu Ming immediately restrained all his aura and seemed to have turned himself into a rock.
He casually scattered a handful of gravel, and the gravel spread out with a strange rhythm and formed a simple illusion array around Lu Ming.
Standing in the illusion array, Lu Ming remained motionless, just observing the surroundings with his eyes and listening in all directions.
About a few hours later, when he saw the soil in front squirming and a few three-headed monsters crawling out from underground, dispersing in the distance, Lu Ming nodded in understanding.
“That’s the entrance over there.”
Jiu Han’s voice sounded in his ears again, “What’s your plan?”
Lu Ming fell into contemplation.
After weighing it for a long time, he said.
“My preparation is not sufficient.”
“The underground might be the stronghold of those Star Spirits. If 1 want stability, 1 need to prepare some tricks.”
Muttering like this, he simply returned to the Boshi Tower.
It was known that the state of the Holy Tower and the Heaven Ascension Stairs was very likely related to the Stellar Tribe. This meant that the spiritualized blood pattern nurtured in the old divinity was also related to the Stellar Tribe.
At this moment, the Spiritualized Blood Pattern was Lu Ming’s guide. It was probably pointing to the heavily guarded place of the Stellar Tribe.
And in the previous battle with Galuo, Lu Ming also realized that the power wielded by the Stellar Tribe had exceeded his imagination.
Charging head-on was definitely not an option.
If that was the case, Lu Ming might not even take a few steps before being obliterated by the Stellar Tribe’s biological weapons.
“We can only disguise ourselves and sneak in.”
But while it was easy to say, disguise and infiltrate, it was not that easy to do.
The life forms of the Stellar Tribe were completely different from those of Lu Ming and the others. This led to differences in their aura and life fluctuations compared to Lu Ming— the distinction between them was akin to the difference between humans and insects. As long as they stood together, there was no possibility of going unnoticed.
When Lu Ming brought up this issue, everyone present was at a loss.
No one could come up with a definite and effective solution.
Lu Ming thought about it and opened his attribute panel to look at his own attributes.
His gaze drifted, and soon, Lu Ming’s eyes locked onto the superpower: Self Limitation.
An idea spontaneously arose in his mind.
“Self-Limitation State can compress one’s body size and conceal one’s aura..”
