Chapter 2060: Chapter 2058: You All Deserve to Die
"Is this the arrival of the great trend?" a Blood Race Saintly Venerable asked suspiciously, "But what is the special relation between this change that spans the entire stellar space and the Insect and Blood Races?"
"This is merely a sign of the great trend’s arrival." Shilong tapped the table with his finger, making a rhythmic sound, "Now that such a sign has appeared, within decades or perhaps a century, the great trend will surely come. At that time, it will be a chance for the Insect and Blood Races!"
Jiuw Tian pondered for a moment and asked, "Fellow Daoist, there’s something this old man doesn’t understand."
Shilong looked at him, "Please speak, Fellow Daoist Jiuw Tian."
"The arrival of this great trend is bound to affect the entire stellar space. I won’t ask about the changes in the stellar space at that time, but I want to know why is this exclusively an opportunity for our two races? Are other races unrelated?"
Shilong smiled knowingly and said, "Of course it’s related, but those races don’t have the advantages our two races possess. For them, the arrival of the great trend brings more disaster!"
"Why is that?" Zhuang Huaiyue asked in confusion, which was also what all the Blood Race Saintly Venerable couldn’t comprehend.
Shilong smiled mysteriously, "Naturally, it has to do with the uniqueness of our two races! In the entire stellar space, the Insect and Blood Races are special existences; otherwise, why would they be suppressed and resisted by all beings?"
Lu Ye thought silently, is it not because the Insect and Blood Races have committed numerous evil acts? Wherever the Insect Race passes, domains wither, and wherever the Blood Race passes, living beings are annihilated. Such races are naturally called to be eradicated by all.
Yet Shilong now mentioned the uniqueness of the two races...
Jiuw Tian asked, "What is special about our two races?"
Shilong glanced at him and slowly shook his head, "I don’t know about this either, but these words were passed down by our High Priest, and I’m just conveying them as they are."
"Your High Priest!" Upon hearing this, Jiuw Tian’s expression became solemn.
The Insect Race High Priest is a legendary strong figure, having lived an unknown number of years, with his strength said to have reached the miraculous.
Merely Shilong’s words might not be enough to be believed by the Blood Race Saintly Venerable, but if they come from the mouth of the Insect Race High Priest, they cannot be taken lightly.
Shilong continued, "Not only am I contacting you, but in other domains of yours, our race has sent other envoys for contact. Before setting out, I remember the High Priest saying that you should have been able to sense the great trend, but because of the fall of the Blood Ancestor, your race lost this ability."
At the mention of the Blood Ancestor, the Saintly Venerable’s expressions suddenly turned devout. Everything the Blood Race has now is gifted by the Blood Ancestor. Even though the Blood Ancestor fell millions of years ago, her bloodline continues to flow, holding a place in the stellar space.
Shilong’s words made Jiuw Tian think, "Do you mean the High Priest can sense the great trend?"
Shilong nodded, "Yes, that’s why we came to contact the Blood Race, hoping you can consolidate your strength and lie low."
Jiuw Tian asked again, "Did the High Priest say if any other powerful beings could sense the great trend?"
"The High Priest said that perhaps strong figures of other races have noticed something, but to clearly sense the great trend, in the entire stellar space, it’s only him. Besides him, no one else can do it."
A silence followed.
After a long while, Jiuw Tian slowly spoke, "Fellow Daoist, our clan has unwavering faith in the High Priest’s words, but regarding the great trend, your side doesn’t provide clarity. Even if we want to cooperate, we don’t know where to start."
He was clearly trying to gather more information.
Shilong shook his head, "It’s not that I’m not clear, but I don’t know much myself. What I said today is all I have to convey from the High Priest. He didn’t elaborate on this matter, and we below cannot understand more. Fellow Daoist should understand, the High Priest is advanced in years and usually in a dormant state. If this matter wasn’t of utmost importance, he wouldn’t have awakened to give specific instructions." After a slight pause, he continued, "What I came to Blood Jade to convey is exactly this, if your race wishes to seize this opportunity, then please decide quickly."
The Blood Race Saintly Venerable looked at one another, unable to make a decision at the moment.
According to the Insect Race’s meaning, the Blood Race needs to consolidate its strength in preparation for the great trend’s arrival, which requires concentration. However, the Blood Race’s several major domains are currently very scattered, making this task challenging.
Eventually, it would require abandoning most domains to concentrate all powerful beings in one domain, but the Blood Race has lived this way for many years. How can they change all because of an uncertain piece of information?
"I’ve heard some rumors about the great trend," suddenly, a voice broke the silence.
Immediately, all eyes turned towards it, finding that the speaker was none other than Saintly Venerable Ling Ze.
Jiuw Tian was intrigued, "Ling Ze, where did you hear about this?"
Lu Ye turned his head, "Hasn’t Fellow Daoist Jiuw Tian heard of Fong Rumo?"
Jiuw Tian’s face involuntarily changed, "The one who sought to control the Tianxuan Sword and ended up being chased by the Tianxuan Sword Qi, Fong Rumo?"
Lu Ye was momentarily stunned.
He mentioned Fong Rumo because this person was of high status and completely unrelated to him, not to mention Fong Rumo’s mystery.
Who knew Jiuw Tian actually knew this person and even mentioned the Tianxuan Sword.
In hindsight, it seems the Sword Qi that chased Fong Rumo was indeed the power of the Tianxuan Sword?
Calming his mind, Lu Ye nodded, "It is indeed him!"
A Saintly Venerable curiously asked, "Ling Ze, how did you come to have dealings with Fong Rumo?"
Lu Ye immediately showed a look of reminiscence, "That was many years ago. I happened to encounter him while traveling. He had been hunted for many years, looking very disheveled, and asked me for some food."
Upon hearing him say that such a powerful being like Fong Rumo begged for some food, the expressions of the Saintly Venerables became extremely unusual. But Lu Ye spoke openly, without deceit, as it indeed happened.
"Then, as a reward, he told me some things about the great trend. He said..."
At this point, Lu Ye paused, glancing around, and under the attention of a group of Saintly Venerables, activated Blood Technique, enveloping the surroundings.
In an instant, the entire Horizon Pavilion was shrouded in blood red.
The Saintly Venerables took no special notice; after all, this matter might involve great secrets, being careful never hurts.
"What did he say?" An impatient Saintly Venerable asked, unable to wait.
Lu Ye turned his head in that direction, continued activating Blood Technique, and smiled slightly, "He said... you all ought to die!"
Everything that needed to be probed had been clarified, and seeing that Shilong seemed to have no more intelligence to provide, there was no need to delay.
All the Saintly Venerables were stunned, completely unable to grasp Lu Ye’s intention. Fong Wudi was especially furious, but almost simultaneously with Lu Ye’s words, a sudden change occurred!
Within the blood-red encapsulation, spirit runes suddenly appeared, with almost each Saintly Venerable facing a spirit rune.
At the same time, within Mount Fangcun, Talent Tree Avatar surged with mana, and Void Spirit Runes manifested beside it.
Having already received his order, Mount Fangcun Sun Blaze practitioners engaged without hesitation, following Lu Ye’s previous instructions, unleashing their most potent attacks, charging forward violently.
This abrupt change made all the Saintly Venerables’ faces shift dramatically, no one expected that within this gathering of powerful beings inside Blood Jade World, an ambush would occur.
Moreover, the instigator was actually the Saintly Venerable Ling Ze!
These Saintly Venerables reacted quickly, sensing the anomaly almost simultaneously while activating their own powers, but suddenly, horrific saintliness lashed out from the blood red, with muffled grunts rising and falling, even the most powerful Saintly Venerable Jiuw Tian felt his blood Qi stagnate, his full strength plummeting sharply.
It was a strength of saintliness he had never experienced before; all along, his prideful saintliness in front of such intensity was fragile beyond belief, almost rendered defenseless and oppressed.
Soon, within his vision, a talisman sword appeared...
Lu Ye specially arranged for Chen Xuanhai to deal with Jiuw Tian.
The formidable vitality of Sun Blaze practitioners decimated in this instant, following a brief chaos, none of the Blood Race Sun Blaze practitioners survived, regardless of power or cultivation level.
Along with those Moon Jade attendants they brought, all perished amid the clash’s aftermath.
With the element of surprise and all Saintly Venerables occupied by Lu Ye’s contrived intrigue, coupled with his oppressive saintliness, such battle results were inevitable.
Only Shilong survived!
Ultimately, he was not of the Blood Race, and was quite powerful, not easily killed without Bloodline Suppression.
At this moment, Shilong was utterly bewildered, his mind in chaos, not understanding what occurred.
Just now, he was also focused on listening to Lu Ye, then this sudden change happened. He sensed Jiuw Tian and other Blood Race members all dead, causing him to shudder, ignorant of who made the move, as someone like Jiuw Tian was utterly defenseless against their assaults.
Survival instincts urged him to flee, but Lu Ye’s Blood Technique imposed many bindings, further entangled by a Dwarf Race Sun Blaze practitioner, with no strength left to escape.
His Mental Consciousness frantically scoured, perceiving the surroundings, desperately wanting to understand what happened.
But it was too late; after slaying their opponents, Dwarf Race Sun Blaze practitioners collectively converged their gazes on the still resisting Shilong.
He instantly froze.
"Catch this one alive, don’t kill him!" Lu Ye’s voice echoed.
Simultaneously as the actions at Horizon Pavilion unfolded, besides Blood Jade World, at the insect hive suspended in stellar space, came a group of unexpected visitors.
Lowe Zhen and Li Wanning from the Western Region joined forces to lead a group of elite Dwarf Race cultivators directly into the insect hive.
Inside this hive was an Insect Race Sun Blaze stationed, who hadn’t followed Shilong to Blood Jade World, yet his strength was at the level of Sun Blaze Early Stage, no match for Lowe Zhen and Li Wanning.
