Free Web NovelChapter 2057: Chapter 2055: Saintly Venerable, Prepare to Die
"Good, good, good!" Ling Ze laughed heartily. Although he had expected this, seeing Ma Shangsi actually being so spineless, he couldn’t help but flash a trace of contempt in his eyes.
He raised one hand, with fierce blood light surging on his palm, slowly condensing. After a long while, a drop of blood as red as a ruby came into being.
A trace of exhaustion and weakness unexpectedly appeared on Ling Ze’s face.
Lu Ye was also witnessing for the first time another Blood Race Saintly Venerable condensing his own treasure blood, and compared to himself, this Ling Ze was far inferior.
Ma Shangsi’s gaze instantly became like a leech, greedily clinging to that drop of treasure blood.
This was a typical reaction of a normal Blood Race.
Ling Ze smiled slightly, "Take it and refine it here. I shall protect you!" ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
Though Ma Shangsi had already promised to become his Blood Servant, and refining the treasure blood wouldn’t have unexpected dangers, this matter naturally should be completed under his watchful eyes. Ling Ze could not let Ma Shangsi leave before refining the treasure blood.
"Yes!" Ma Shangsi stepped forward a few steps, respectfully took the ruby-like treasure blood from Ling Ze’s hand, then retreated back before sitting cross-legged and swallowing the treasure blood whole.
The next moment, his whole body surged with blood Qi, spreading in all directions. In a short time, the entire hall was engulfed in a blood-colored ambiance, with strong energy fluctuations emanating from it.
"Huh?" Ling Ze, seated above, suddenly frowned, vaguely feeling something was amiss. As a newly advanced Sun Blaze, Ma Shangsi’s blood Qi seemed overly dense, undeniably showcasing his solid foundation.
That was fine, but the commotion from Ma Shangsi refining the treasure blood... was somewhat excessive.
Normally, refining treasure blood shouldn’t cause such a big fuss. He had once accepted a Blood Servant, and the commotion from that servant refining their own treasure blood wasn’t like this.
Could it be because Ma Shangsi was already a Sun Blaze?
After all, he had never accepted a Sun Blaze as a Blood Servant and truly didn’t know whether this was a normal phenomenon.
Just as he intended to continue observing, Ma Shangsi, cross-legged with closed eyes, abruptly opened them, his deep voice sounded: "Saintly Venerable!"
"What is it?" Ling Ze replied.
"Please, Saintly Venerable, meet your end!"
Almost simultaneously with Ma Shangsi’s words, the already tumultuous blood Qi suddenly became more intense, and at the same time, a crisp knife sound resounded.
Ling Ze hadn’t yet reacted to what exactly was happening, when he suddenly felt an alarming saintliness erupting from the surrounding blood Qi.
The intensity of this saintliness couldn’t be matched even by the purest bloodline in this realm.
The sudden suppression made Ling Ze groan lowly, his expression drastically changing.
A figure had already attacked him. Ling Ze only faintly saw a gleam of a knife flash, his body ached, and the blood crystal inside him shattered!
The strong cultivation of the Sun Blaze Late Stage, following the blood crystal’s shattering, began plummeting crazily, then he felt a huge hand press on his forehead, enveloped by an even more terrifying saintliness than earlier...
The degree was beyond imagination, facing this second form of saintliness, he felt as though he had fallen into a vast and infinite stellar space, boundless and helpless.
"You..." A brief exclamation came from Tian Yu as Ma Shangsi had already pounced in front of him, grabbing his head.
The sudden change left Tian Yu unable to react, nor did he understand why Ma Shangsi suddenly turned against him.
Still wanting to ask for clarity, Ma Shangsi had already exerted force, crushing his skull.
Their strength differed greatly, and Tian Yu was suppressed by the saintliness, leaving him no room for resistance in front of Ma Shangsi.
On the other side, Lu Ye had already reached out and pressed onto Ling Ze’s forehead, Mental Consciousness surged.
A bit of telepathy!
Since Ling Ze summoned Ma Shangsi here, intending to make him his Blood Servant, the fate of Ling Ze and his son was doomed.
Ma Shangsi could not possibly refine Ling Ze’s treasure blood, nor could he even attempt to, so if things were left to develop naturally, Ling Ze would soon notice the anomaly and realize Ma Shangsi had become Saintly Venerable.
Hence, there was no choice but to kill!
On this point, Lu Ye and his servant shared an understanding.
But killing Ling Ze was not Lu Ye’s goal; he aimed to uncover more matters. Incidentally, he was considering how to infiltrate Horizon Pavilion, and assuming Ling Ze’s identity was undoubtedly a good approach.
He could disguise himself as Ling Ze with Thousand Faces Spirit Runes, even simulate Ling Ze’s aura with Pseudo-Might, but to access Ling Ze’s memory required a bit of telepathy to probe.
If possible, Lu Ye wished to avoid such actions; probing others’ memories was never an enjoyable experience, especially for someone like Ling Ze at the Sun Blaze Late Stage with a vast lifetime of memories. This level of probing would substantially impact Lu Ye himself.
Having killed so many of the Blood Race, he was naturally aware of the position of their blood crystals. Taking advantage of Ling Ze being suppressed by Ma Shangsi’s saintliness, he broke Ling Ze’s blood crystal with a single strike.
Thus, ensuring Ling Ze wouldn’t die immediately, though his cultivation would swiftly regress, making it easier for him to act.
Currently, his saintliness also erupted, making Ling Ze entirely like fish on a chopping board.
A bit of telepathy activated, yet Lu Ye didn’t glimpse any memory belonging to Ling Ze, instead encountering some resistance.
He immediately realized that the realm of Sun Blaze involves the cultivation of gods. He wanted to spy on Sun Blaze’s memories through a divine rune, but it wouldn’t be as easy as before.
Even though Ling Ze was heavily injured at this moment, and his cultivation had regressed, these were all just his physical feedbacks, his psyche prowess hadn’t suffered much impact.
What was hindering his spying at this moment was undoubtedly Ling Ze’s Psyche Barrier!
Realizing this, Lu Ye immediately used Soul Power to drive the Sharpness divine rune, turning it into a series of assaults that bombarded into the depths of Mingming.
After over ten strikes, he finally broke through Ling Ze’s Psyche Barrier, during which Ling Ze’s face contorted with agonizing pain.
Without the obstruction of the Psyche Barrier, a massive amount of complicated information surged into Lu Ye’s mind, making his expression strained, as if his entire head was stuffed with a lot of useless things, causing his consciousness to feel heavy.
He once more urged his Soul Power, pouring it into the seven-color Divine Lotus, the seven-colored glow bloomed, and that sense of heaviness suddenly vanished, becoming much lighter.
Originally, as the Blood Crystal shattered, Ling Ze had already fallen into a coma, but with Lu Ye’s actions, he was finally awakened.
In a daze, he opened his eyes, saw Lu Ye’s face, then felt his own state, and Ling Ze’s heart sank to the bottom...
For any Blood Race, the shattering of the spirit crystal is an irremediable injury. It can be said that as the spirit crystal shatters, most of the cultivation painstakingly pursued for a lifetime would dissipate, even if not dead, only the physical accumulation remains.
Moreover, Lu Ye’s actions at this moment further terrified Ling Ze.
"Soul Search?" He snarled, gritting his teeth, and with the last shred of clarity, he fiercely gathered Soul Power, suddenly urging it, causing his psyche to exit the body.
A beam of blood light shot straight toward Lu Ye’s head.
Such resoluteness was unexpected for Lu Ye, for him at this moment, killing a Blood Race Sun Blaze was simple, but there’s no withstanding against desperation.
Once the psyche exited the body, Ling Ze’s flesh became an empty shell, no longer any telepathy could be deployed to retrieve any information.
The next instant, Lu Ye felt his Psyche Barrier tremble violently.
Indeed, Late Stage Sun Blaze, and directly using psyche exiting to launch assaults, was indeed exceptionally fierce. Lu Ye’s Psyche Barrier isn’t comparable to ordinary newly-advanced Sun Blazes, these years being nurtured by the seven-color Divine Lotus, his Soul Power has constantly increased, along with an extremely resilient Psyche Barrier.
Even so, facing Ling Ze’s resolute assault couldn’t be completely blocked.
Thus...
Lu Ye simply released his own Psyche Barrier, allowing Ling Ze’s soul body to invade freely.
With a steady mind, the next instant, within Lu Ye’s Divine Sea, the soul body appeared, immediately seeing Ling Ze invading his Divine Sea.
That guy was currently just a humanoid blood light, holding something in hand, looking like a bottle, but the same blood color.
Lu Ye earnestly assessed it, immediately determining that the bottle-like item wasn’t a soul treasure, since it wasn’t a soul treasure, then it was Ling Ze’s Soul Suppressing Secret Technique.
No idea what kind of power this thing could unleash.
"Who are you?" Ling Ze roared angrily, suffering such a massive setback this time, even if he survived by luck, he couldn’t retrieve his cultivation.
He couldn’t figure out who he had provoked, being sneak attacked in his own territory utterly without reason.
One more thing baffling him was the terrifying saintliness Lu Ye previously exerted, a degree he couldn’t imagine, a height that shouldn’t exist in this world.
If not suppressed by such terrifying saintliness, he wouldn’t have had no power to retaliate.
Lu Ye utterly ignored his inquiry, this change, though brief, coupled with Ma Shangsi’s deployment of Blood Technique for cover, caution is paramount, a swift victory is best.
With a thought, he also activated his own Soul Suppressing Secret Technique.
In the next moment, under Ling Ze’s stunned gaze, a battleship appeared out of nowhere beneath Lu Ye’s feet, rapidly solidifying, the battleship also had several busy figures bustling around.
Array buzzed, the battleship slicing through waves, charging to attack Ling Ze.
Ling Ze was utterly dumbfounded, his own cultivated Soul Suppressing Secret Technique was already quite obscure, didn’t expect there’s an existence even more obscure than his own Soul Suppressing Secret Technique in this world.
Moreover, this was still within Lu Ye’s Divine Sea, his home turf.
The outcome of such a confrontation naturally held no suspense.
After initially blocking several waves of Lu Ye’s assaults, Ling Ze had no further power to retaliate, being forcefully blown to pieces by Lu Ye maneuvering the Ghost Ship.
The blood light scattered all over the sky, yet did not fall into the Divine Sea, instead seemed to be attracted by something, converging swiftly towards the location of the seven-color Divine Lotus.
Lu Ye focused, observing those blood lights quickly being completely absorbed by the seven-color Divine Lotus.
In the next moment, scattered disorganized memories surfaced in Lu Ye’s mind, and these memories, surprisingly all belonged to Ling Ze.
