308: Chapter 308 Reincarnated into the Animal Realm

"Bang—!!!"

Fists collided.

It was as if two stars were colliding at close range.

A terrifying shockwave swept out, instantly evaporating a large portion of the surrounding sea of blood and revealing the parched earth.

"Thud, thud, thud!"

The Blood Ancestor felt an overwhelming, irresistible force strike him, and a sharp pain shot through his entire arm. His body retreated uncontrollably, each step carving a massive black hole into the Void Realm.

Lu Yuan, on the other hand, remained motionless, standing tall in the Void Realm like a monolith, surrounded by Chaos Qi, looking like an undefeatable god of war.

"How is this possible?!"

The Blood Ancestor stabilized himself, his face filled with shock and disbelief.

He was a Half-step True Immortal! His Physical Body had been tempered by True Immortal Law, making it indestructible and only slightly inferior to an Immortal Artifact!

Yet this Human Race ant before him, who was only at the Peak Void Immortal realm, had not only withstood his strike in a physical clash but had also firmly gained the upper hand?

This was simply the height of absurdity!

"This kid's Physical Body... what on earth is it made of? Could it be a legendary piece of Immortal Gold that gained sentience?" The Blood Ancestor's heart was in turmoil, and the look he gave Lu Yuan finally held a hint of gravity and wariness.

Before he could recover from his shock, Lu Yuan had already taken the initiative to attack.

"It's only polite to reciprocate. You take a sword strike from me as well!"

Lu Yuan held no sword; he simply used his fingers as a blade and slashed toward the Blood Ancestor from a distance.

"Six Paths of Reincarnation Sword!"

This strike fused his dual insights into the Great Dao of the Sword and the Great Dao of Reincarnation, while also drawing inspiration from Lu Xueyao's brilliant Sword Intent.

A flash of sword light appeared, and six massive black holes seemed to emerge between heaven and earth, representing the Heavenly Dao, Asura Path, Human Path, Animal Path, Hungry Ghost Path, and Hell Path.

The six paths rotated, endlessly cycling.

The Blood Ancestor's vision blurred, and his surroundings instantly changed.

He felt as if he were within an endless Reincarnation, his own form constantly shifting.

One moment he was a tortured hungry ghost howling in a cauldron of oil; the next, he was a slaughter-crazed Asura sinking into a sea of blood...

Finally, his form settled into that of a pitch-black, shivering stray dog.

"Woof!"

A bark rang out.

The Blood Ancestor discovered to his horror that the True Immortal Law within him had completely vanished, replaced by the instinctive fear of a beast.

He could even feel the humiliation of being on all fours with his tail tucked between his legs.

"Is this the power of the Six Paths of Reincarnation? It can actually force a change in life form?!"

Though this change was only temporary, it was enough to be fatal.

"Slay!"

Lu Yuan casually unleashed a chaotic Sword Qi.

"Squelch!"

Before the black dog could even let out a whimper, it was sliced in two by the Sword Qi, turning into a pool of blood.

"Splash—"

However, the moment the black dog died, the surrounding sea of blood began to boil violently.

Countless streams of blood converged, reforming the Blood Ancestor's figure once again.

"Jie jie jie..."

The Blood Ancestor let out a cold, eerie laugh. Although his face was pale and his aura was slightly weaker than before, he hadn't truly died.

"It's useless, Lu Yuan!"

The Blood Ancestor looked at Lu Yuan with mockery: "As long as this sea of blood exists, I am an immortal being! If you kill me once, I shall be reborn once! I'll see how long you can last!"

Though he couldn't defeat Lu Yuan, this shameless Rebirth ability was enough to keep him undefeated.

At this thought, the wariness in the Blood Ancestor's eyes dissipated quite a bit, and his tone softened.

"Lu Yuan, you've seen it. I possess an immortal body. Rather than continuing this endless attrition, why don't we call a truce? As long as you stop interfering, I promise not to infringe upon the Qingyun Dao Sect in the slightest. I can even split these Three Thousand Dao Domains with you."

He was truly afraid.

Lu Yuan's methods were endless, and his Physical Body was ridiculously strong. If they continued, even if he didn't die, his Origin Qi would be severely damaged, making it not worth the cost.

"A truce?"

Lu Yuan sneered upon hearing this, his eyes full of mockery. "Are you even worthy?"

"Since this sea of blood is your reliance, then I shall destroy it and see how you resurrect then!"

Before his voice had even faded, Lu Yuan waved his sleeve.

"Strange Flames, come forth!"

"Whoosh—"

One by one, flames of various colors emitting terrifying heat manifested out of thin air.

The white World Purifying Heaven Burning Flame, holy and overbearing, purifying all things.

The crimson Southern Bright Separation Fire, burning the Void Realm.

Phoenix True Fire, incinerating heaven and earth.

And the Azure Lotus Earth Heart Fire.

Furthermore, the nine treasures glazed lamp hovered above his head, spitting out Nine-Colored Glazed Flames, both brilliant and lethal.

Under Lu Yuan's control, several top-tier Strange Flames intertwined and fused, transforming into a terrifying domain of fire that could boil the seas and burn the heavens, enveloping the sea of blood below.

"Sizzle—"

Under this terrifying heat, the sea of blood was like a boiling cauldron of oil, emitting scalp-numbing sounds of evaporation.

Vast amounts of blood were burned into nothingness, turning into a sky full of red mist.

"Ah! My sea of blood!"

The Blood Ancestor let out a scream. This sea of blood was his Origin. Every drop evaporated weakened his power; it felt as if someone were carving out his flesh with a knife.

But this was not the end.

"Heaven Devouring Demonic Art, devour!"

Lu Yuan transformed into a black hole, hovering above the sea of fire.

The essence of the blood qi purified by the Strange Flames was swallowed by the massive black hole before it could dissipate.

"Rumble—"

As this unimaginably vast Essence Blood energy entered his body, the dragon-elephant particles within Lu Yuan began to awaken frantically once more.

400 million... 500 million... 600 million...

His aura climbed steadily, and his physical strength surged at a terrifying speed.

"No! Stop! Stop it now!"

The Blood Ancestor panicked completely.

He could feel his power draining away rapidly—permanent loss! At this rate, within half an hour, the sea of blood would be sucked dry, and he would perish with it!

"Damn it! This kid is a lunatic! He really wants to kill me!"

The Blood Ancestor was terrified to the extreme.

He never expected that as a dignified Half-step True Immortal, he would fall at the hands of someone at the Peak Void Immortal realm.

"Escape! I must escape!"

As long as the green mountains remain, there is no fear of lacking firewood.

Even if he lost this Clone and the sea of blood, as long as his true spirit escaped back to the foreign realm, he would have a chance for a comeback.

"Blood Escape Great Law, scatter!"

The Blood Ancestor roared.

The previously intact sea of blood suddenly exploded with a bang, turning into billions of tiny blood-colored streaks of light that shot out in all directions.

Every streak of light contained a sliver of his true spirit; as long as even one escaped, he could use it to be reborn.

"Trying to run?"

Lu Yuan watched the blood-light dancing across the sky, a cold smile curling at the corner of his lips.
