Under the guidance and activation of Lu Ye, the power of the killing array erupted, and in an instant, wind, fire, lightning, and a variety of different forms of attacks poured down towards the Blood River, causing the river water to be in constant turmoil. Lu Ye's eyes were fixed on the Blood River that stretched across the air. He could clearly see, amidst the crimson river, threads of golden light flowing, as if many golden ribbons had been added within the Blood River. The red and gold intermingled, giving the entire river an unusual beauty. The golden light conveyed a very familiar aura to Lu Ye. He suddenly realized the truth. Previously, there was something he couldn't quite figure out: why the Sacred Seed needed to go deep into the Blood Pool for cultivation. In the Blood Refinement World, the Sacred Seed possessed a naturally advantageous cultivation environment compared to ordinary Blood Race members, with the ever-present Blood Pools being their best places for cultivation. Therefore, the strength of a Sacred Seed increases very quickly. From birth to the peak of the Divine Sea Realm, it probably doesn't even take ten years, an advantage completely unmatched by human race cultivators. Thus almost every Sacred Seed in the Blood Refinement World possesses peak Divine Sea level strength unless they are too newly born. This female Sacred Seed is undoubtedly at the peak of the Divine Sea Realm. Logically speaking, her cultivation has already reached its limit, with no room for further advancement. Given that, why would she waste time going deep into the Blood Pool for cultivation? Previously, Lu Ye couldn't figure it out. But after seeing the golden ribbons in the Blood River, he suddenly understood. The Sacred Seed's cultivation in the Blood Pool isn't to enhance her cultivation, which has already peaked, but to seek out the Sacred Blood hidden in the underground Blood River! When she first appeared, she was obviously in a good mood, indicating she had made a gain this time. The most obvious sign was the golden ribbons in the Blood River, which indicate that the Sacred Blood hadn't been fully refined. That's why it showed up in the Blood River. If there was enough time, she would have entirely refined the newly obtained Sacred Blood, preventing such a scene from appearing. So... it's possible to refine more Sacred Blood even after becoming a Sacred Seed? But what significance does this hold? From his observation, this female Sacred Seed's strength didn't seem to increase even after refining more Sacred Blood. In a short time, Lu Ye figured one thing out but generated another doubt. However, these questions were irrelevant when it came to combat. At the place where the big array was stationed, the battle was extremely intense, with sword songs and magical powers continuously blooming, ceaselessly attacking the Blood River. Because of the concealment of the Blood River, neither Jian Guhong nor Wey Fufeng could accurately inflict any substantial harm on the female Sacred Seed. What they were doing now was merely consuming the enemy's power and reducing the volume of the Blood River. This is the kind of battle human race cultivators least wish to occur when confronting the Blood Race because once it goes to this stage, it turns into a total war of attrition. The key to success now lies in whether the Blood River activated by the female Sacred Seed can break through the confinement of the big array before being entirely exhausted. If she can, she can escape; if not, she is doomed. Among the three elders who took action, the sword cultivator and magic cultivator have achieved nothing substantial in a short time. In contrast, it is Wuchang from the ghost cultivator faction who stands a chance of inflicting direct harm on the enemy, as he shuttles through the Blood River, continually pursuing the female Sacred Seed's whereabouts. But even with his great strength, Wuchang can't obliterate the limitations of a ghost cultivator. Compared to covert assassination, direct confrontation with the enemy is not his strong suit. Thus he must be cautious everywhere to avoid being harmed by enemy counterattacks. From time to time, Wuchang even needed to escape the Blood River to rest for a while since staying within the Blood River also consumed him greatly. He needed to resist the ubiquitous erosion of the Blood River and guard against the hidden killing moves within it. The various Blood Techniques employed by the female Sacred Seed within the shrouds of the Blood River were indeed exceptionally concealed and hard to defend against. In just twenty breaths after the battle commenced, the trap array was faltering, and the gleam covering the battlefield dimmed, especially on the side where the Blood River touched; it was almost in a state where it could be breached effortlessly. The Blood Race's power was overly corrosive to things like the formation's light screen. The female Sacred Seed obviously noticed this as well, hiding her figure within the Blood River, avoiding several of Wuchang's attacks, and fully activating the power of the Blood River to erode towards the weaker part of the formation. Three more breaths passed, and suddenly a light cracking sound was heard, as if something shattered. What shattered was the trap array. The female Blood Race was overjoyed and the Blood River wriggled, attempting to escape, only to collide with another layer of the trap array's light screen. Knowing the erosive power of the Blood Race, how could Wuchang and Lu Ye have pinned all their hopes on just one layer of the trap array when setting up the big array? There were not just one but three layers of trap arrays here. However, each layer was somewhat weaker than the previous one, which was unavoidable because the coverage area was larger, naturally diminishing the formation's power. It wasn't that Lu Ye and Wuchang didn't want to set up more layers of trap arrays, but once the coverage area became too large, the formation itself would become fragile, and it would easily be broken by an opponent like the Sacred Seed, making its setup of little significance. Three layers of trap array were the limit! Within the Blood River, the furious roars of the female Sacred Seed could be heard, evidently enraged by the shameless actions of the human faction, yet it was to no avail, only provoking more violent assaults. She could only continue to rely on the geographical advantage created by her Blood River, trying to hide herself while continuing to erode the barrier of the trap array. Having fought against the human race for so many years, she was somewhat familiar with their various tactics, so she concluded that there wouldn't be too many of such barriers. As long as she continued to break them, there was a chance for her to escape. It must be said that although this Sacred Seed was female, her battle instincts in a life-and-death struggle were exceptionally sharp. After intentionally strengthening the erosion power of the Blood River, it only took her a dozen breaths of time to destroy the second layer of the trap array's barrier. With the situation developing to this point, it was undoubtedly very unfavorable for the human faction. It's not that they were in danger, but this opportunity was too rare. If they couldn't kill a Sacred Seed in such a situation, they really couldn't think of any other method to kill one. In contrast, Feng Wujiang, who once killed a Sacred Seed barehanded, truly possessed unparalleled combat power. If this situation continued, the female Sacred Seed could soon break the third layer of the trap array's barrier and escape at once. Wey Fufeng continued to frantically activate his spells. From the start of the battle, he hadn't held back his strength, always giving his full force. Because he knew that to kill a Sacred Seed, there could be no reserves. Jian Guhong infused his body with sword light and plunged into the Blood River. His flying sword was indeed formidable, but the presence of the Blood River became his greatest hindrance because he couldn't easily lock onto the enemy's position. After realizing that if he couldn't achieve a quick victory, this mission would inevitably end in failure, he no longer hesitated. No risk, no reward! Though venturing deep into the Blood River was dangerous, it was the only chance to inflict a fatal wound on the enemy. In direct combat with the enemy, Wuchang was ultimately inferior to him by a margin. Once Jian Guhong entered the Blood River, the pressure on Wuchang lessened considerably. While mentally guiding Jian Guhong to locate the female Sacred Seed, he cooperated with him, causing the opponent to be flustered in no time. With Lu Ye activating the killing array and Wey Fufeng's spells continuously reducing the volume of her Blood River, if there was enough time, the female Sacred Seed would surely be doomed. However, what everyone was lacking at the moment was time. The second-layer trap array's barrier had already been broken, leaving only the final layer. Once this layer was breached, the human side would have no binding force on the enemy. At that time, with the precision of the Blood Race's Blood Escape Technique, they could escape in the blink of an eye, causing this action to end in failure. Judging from the dimming speed of the third-layer trap array's barrier, this was likely to happen in just a few breaths! At this pivotal moment of deciding the battle's outcome, Lu Ye resolutely soared skyward, immediately abandoning his task of hosting the formation, and plunged into the Blood River. Seeing this scene, Wey Fufeng had no idea what he intended to do. But during such a critical moment in combat, despite feeling that Lu Ye's reckless charge into the Blood River posed significant risks given his strength, he had no time to stop him. As for Wuchang and Jian Guhong, since they were within the Blood River, they were completely unaware of this. Upon entering the Blood River, Lu Ye activated his Blood Technique. An aura of blood and spirit force surrounded him, converging into another Blood River in the blink of an eye. But in the next moment, his expression suddenly turned solemn because, while activating the Blood Technique, he sensed from the surrounding Blood River a peculiar and clear suppressive force. The existence of this suppressive force led to one result; the volume of the Blood River Technique he performed was about half the normal state. Such suppression was terrifying. He immediately understood that this was the Bloodline Suppression of the Blood Race. Amused and aghast, he recalled how, along his journey, he used Bloodline Suppression to plant Soul Taming Divine Runes within many Divine Sea Realm Blood Race members, turning them into his Blood Slaves. Unexpectedly, the tables turned, and he found himself suppressed for the first time. If he had truly belonged to the Blood Race, the suppression would have significantly weakened him, or perhaps even provoked reverence, submission. Those Divine Sea Realm Blood Race individuals typically reacted this way when facing his suppression. But he was ultimately not truly of the Blood Race; he merely refined a drop of Sacred Blood and acquired some saintliness from it. He was still a member of the human race! The lack of suppression felt before was because he hadn't activated the Blood Technique. Now that he had, the suppression was evident. What puzzled Lu Ye was why, despite refining Sacred Blood and gaining saintliness, he was still subjected to Bloodline Suppression. Could the bloodline of the Sacred Seed vary in rank as well?
