While controlling the Grand Ward to help the cultivators from the allied forces defeat the enemies, Lu Ye was also observing the Blood Race members.
Just like the cultivators in Soaring Dragon Boundary, it was his first time coming into contact with such a unique Race, so he had to take the opportunity to observe them. Anyway, they were the invaders, so there were bound to be conflicts in the future. As such, he had to find out more about them to defeat them.
Blood Race members were generally taller than Humans. Their most conspicuous features were their blood-coloured skin and pointed ears.
Their Blood Qi was also highly corrosive. It wasn’t a result of cultivating any technique because every Blood Race member shared the same characteristic.
It was probably an ability they were born with.
There was no doubt this kind of ability was hard for cultivators to deal with.
Lu Ye had seen how the Spiritual Power Shields of some cultivators were corroded, and they were subsequently killed. There were also cultivators whose Spirit Artifacts had lost their spiritualities due to the corrosion, thus undermining their abilities to fight.
The insectoids didn’t have any sentience, so they would only bring destruction and slaughter with them.
In comparison, the innate ability of the Blood Race seemed to specifically target cultivators.
Moreover, these Blood Race members were well-versed in some Blood Secret Techniques, which were so strange that it was almost useless for cultivators to be vigilant.
Undoubtedly, the Blood Race members were powerful, but they had some obvious weaknesses.
The chanting of Vajra Temple’s monks could greatly distract them. Therefore, many of the Blood Race members were at a disadvantage when dealing with the monks.
Also, lightning seemed to be highly damaging to them.
The many Lightning Invocation Wards that Lu Ye had built in the valley proved to be very useful. A lot of Spell Cultivators in Soaring Dragon Boundary had cultivated Lightning Technique. When these spells were used, the Blood Race members would be injured badly.
Fire Technique came in second place. Although it wasn’t as suppressive as Lightning Technique, it was damaging to the Blood Race as well.
There was no doubt such information was valuable. It would be of great help if they went against the Blood Race in the future.
With that said, Lu Ye wasn’t most concerned about this issue. There were more than ten Blood Race members who seemed to be particularly powerful.
The powers they displayed were indeed at the peak of the Cloud River Realm, but the heritages they possessed were beyond that Realm.
Therefore, even though Lu Ye had been helping them in secret, the cultivators who had to deal with those particularly strong Blood Race members would still end up in a horrible state.
Left with no choice, Lu Ye activated the Grand Ward’s power and trapped them, making sure they couldn’t come into contact with the cultivators from the allied forces.
There was something off about these particularly mighty Blood Race members.
This kind of feeling made Lu Ye recall his Eldest Senior Sister, Mo Yuan, who was able to kill her enemies with ease on the Goldentip.
At that time, Mo Yuan barged into the Spirit Creek Battlefield as a Peak Ninth-Order Real Lake Realm Master. Although she could only use the power of Peak Cloud River Realm following the Heavens’ rebalancing, she had the heritage of Real Lake Realm, after all. As such, no one was a match for her.
At the thought of this, Lu Ye finally realised what was going on.
The Blood Race members he had been paying attention to weren’t Cloud River Realm Masters. They were probably in the Real Lake Realm.
Soaring Dragon Boundary was no longer able to accommodate cultivators above the Cloud River Realm. Therefore, after they barged into this world, they could only use the power of the Peak Cloud River Realm.
In other words, this world had suppressed their true powers.
Otherwise, the cultivators of the allied forces would’ve been destroyed long ago.
This was good news as well as bad news.
Even though these invaders could only activate the powers of the Peak Cloud River Realm, their heritages allowed them to easily destroy the average Cloud River Realm Master.
Since these Blood Race members were already so powerful, what about the Blood Lord?
All the signs showed that the Blood Lord was the leader of these invaders. There was no doubt that he was the strongest one.
“Huh?” Just as Lu Ye was deep in thought, the particularly strong Blood Race members started doing something unusual.
It wasn’t certain what technique they had used, but they exploded at the same time and turned into streams of blood.
Following that, the more than ten streams of blood approached each other as though they had received some instructions.
Lu Ye instantly realised that these powerful Blood Race members must have sensed danger, so they activated a mighty Secret Technique to get out of the woods.
Certainly, he wouldn’t allow such a thing to happen. He immediately activated the power of the Grand Ward to separate these streams of blood. At the same time, he activated the Killing Wards.
Explosions were heard as the fog rolled violently.
However, regardless of what Lu Ye did, he was unable to stop these streams of blood from coming together. They seemed able to detect each other’s locations despite the fog.
Lu Ye wondered what kind of Secret Technique that was.
Soon enough, these streams of blood gathered in the same place and turned into a hideous Blood Dragon.
The Blood Dragon zigzagged across the Grand Ward and destroyed everything along the way. Even though Lu Ye had activated a lot of Killing Wards, he still couldn’t stop it.
Wherever the Blood Dragon went, the plants withered and the vitality dissipated. When the cultivators were accidentally struck, they went to Hell before they could even grunt in pain.
Lu Ye was glad that only the strongest Blood Race members could use this kind of Secret Technique. The others didn’t seem capable of doing that.
However, the Blood Dragon was ferocious. Whenever a Blood Race member was saved, he would integrate into the Blood Dragon. As more and more of them became part of the Blood Dragon, it grew larger in size.
Lu Ye sported a solemn expression.
He didn’t expect the Blood Race members to deal with the Grand Ward in such a way. He initially thought that he could destroy all of them who had the guts to enter the valley.
Now, as he looked at the colossal Blood Dragon in the valley, he knew that he couldn’t stop these people with his current power.
Regardless of what Secret Technique that was, it must be damaging to the Blood Race members. Otherwise, they would’ve used it long ago.
After weighing the pros and cons, Lu Ye sighed helplessly and waved his hand, after which the fog started fluctuating.
