59: The Golden Eyes of Truth! The Law of Blood! Rebirth from a Drop of Blood!

“Slay.”

Lu Xueyao let out a low cry, grasped the sword with both hands, and swung it fiercely.

Buzz!

The Primordial Unity Sword let out a clear, resounding Dragon roar.

Although her Foundation Establishment cultivation base prevented her from fully unleashing the power of this Spirit Treasure, Lu Yuan had already sealed a strand of his Four Transformations Sword Law within the sword when he gave it to her.

As Lu Xueyao activated it, a corner of that Seal was undone.

Boom!

A terrifying Sword Intent, capable of destroying heaven and earth and seemingly severing eternal ages, erupted from the Primordial Unity Sword.

The rudimentary form of the Sword Domain appeared.

Ye Chen's proud Law of the Sword, facing this genuine Fourth Transformation Sword Intent, was as fragile as glass and instantly shattered.

“No... this is impossible.”

Ye Chen screamed in terror, sensing the threat of death.

The Primordial Unity Sword light continued its momentum, carrying the will to annihilate everything, and fiercely struck his body.

Bang!

The protective spiritual light covering Ye Chen instantly burst apart.

He was struck as if by lightning, spitting out mouthfuls of fresh blood. His body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, slamming violently into the cliff behind him and creating a large crater in the hard rock wall.

“Cough, cough...”

Ye Chen struggled to climb out of the rubble. A sword mark, deep enough to expose bone, appeared on his chest, nearly splitting him in half.

This Clone of his was originally condensed using Essence Blood. Having suffered such a severe injury, its aura instantly became extremely weak, nearing the point of collapse.

“Damn it... Lu Yuan... you actually sealed the Fourth Transformation Law inside a sword for your Disciple to use... you lunatic...”

Ye Chen's heart was filled with fear and malice.

He knew he had completely failed this time.

If this Clone died here again, his main body would lose a portion of its Origin, which was unacceptable to him.

“Where there is life, there is hope. Go.”

Ye Chen made a decisive move immediately.

“Blood Shadow Escape.”

Bang!

His body instantly exploded into a cloud of blood mist, then transformed into a dreadful crimson rainbow, fleeing madly towards the outside of the valley at a speed attained by burning his life force.

Lu Xueyao watched the direction Ye Chen fled but did not pursue him.

She knew the principle of not pursuing a cornered foe, and the priority now was to collect the Opportunity right in front of her.

She turned and walked toward the stone platform, lightly waving her delicate hand to collect the blood essence crystal and the weakened thousand illusion demon eye into her Storage Pouch.

“I have them.”

A faint smile curved Lu Xueyao's lips... Meanwhile, outside Fallen Demon Valley, at the gap in the Formation.

Lu Yuan, who was sitting cross-legged, slightly raised an eyebrow.

Two crisp and pleasant System notification sounds rang out consecutively in his mind.

[Ding, successfully intercepted Son of Destiny Ye Chen's blue Opportunity, the blood essence crystal, triggering a hundredfold critical return: Blood Essence Sarira, rewarding 100 Destiny Points.]

[Blood Essence Sarira: The Origin crystal left behind by an ancient eminent Buddhist monk who specialized in the Law of Blood after his passing. It contains the pure and flawless Fourth Transformation Law of Blood, as well as the Divine Ability Rebirth from a Drop of Blood. Upon refining it, the Host can directly grasp the Fourth Transformation Law of Blood and master Rebirth from a Drop of Blood!]

[Ding, successfully intercepted Son of Destiny Ye Chen's blue Opportunity, the thousand illusion demon eye, triggering a hundredfold critical return: a pair of Golden Eyes of Truth, rewarding 100 Destiny Points.]

[Golden Eyes of Truth: Can see through all illusions in the world, discern all falsehoods, and spot weaknesses in an enemy's moves. It also contains the characteristics of the thousand illusion demon eye, allowing the construction of illusions. Do you wish to initiate Fusion immediately?]

Lu Yuan responded with Fusion in his mind.

The next moment, his pupils displayed a dark golden color. Everything within his gaze changed; even the Four Symbols Sealing Heaven Formation, in his eyes, revealed several subtle flaws.

“This is the Golden Eyes of Truth? Is it similar to a weakened version of Double Pupils? Truly extraordinary!”

Lu Yuan thought silently to himself.

Immediately afterward, he turned his attention to the other reward, the Blood Essence Sarira.

A sharp glint flashed in Lu Yuan's eyes.

This was far more precious than a mere blood essence crystal.

The Fourth Transformation Law of Blood is an existence second only to supreme Laws like Space and Time.

And Rebirth from a Drop of Blood is an unparalleled life-saving Divine Ability.

“Ye Chen, you truly didn't disappoint me. Even a Clone can bring me such generous returns.”

Lu Yuan sighed internally and swallowed the crimson Sarira that had appeared in his hand without hesitation.

“Heaven Devouring Demonic Art, refine.”

Boom!

A massive yet gentle energy of blood Qi instantly exploded within his body.

There was not the slightest obstruction or repulsion.

Under the terrifying assimilation ability of the Innate Dao Body, the understanding of the Law contained within the Blood Essence Sarira merged into Lu Yuan's Primordial Spirit like a hundred rivers flowing into the sea.

The Fourth Transformation Law of Blood was complete.

Lu Yuan extended a finger and lightly cut the tip.

A drop of golden Essence Blood flowed out.

The drop of Essence Blood did not fall to the ground but squirmed and transformed in mid-air, instantly turning into a miniature crimson bird, flapping its wings as if ready to fly.

Blood Drop Transformation, undying and indestructible.

“Is this the power of the Fourth Transformation Law of Blood? Truly miraculous.”

Lu Yuan nodded in satisfaction and casually dispersed the drop of Essence Blood... Meanwhile, on the other side.

Inside a hidden mountain cave on the outskirts of Fallen Demon Valley.

A streak of blood light stumbled inside, revealing Ye Chen's extremely wretched figure.

“Pfft.”

As soon as he landed, he spat out another mouthful of fresh blood, collapsing onto the ground, his aura extremely weak.

“Damn it... damn Lu Xueyao... damn Lu Yuan...”

Ye Chen's face was twisted. While cursing, he tremblingly took out a healing Medicinal Pill from his Storage Pouch.

This Clone of his was already on the verge of collapse; if he didn't stabilize his injuries immediately, it would likely dissipate.

Just as he brought the Medicinal Pill to his mouth.

“Heh heh heh...”

An ancient and sinister laugh suddenly echoed at the mouth of the cave.

“I searched high and low with no result, yet found it without effort. I didn't expect to run into such a big fish that slipped the net here.”

Ye Chen was startled, and the Medicinal Pill in his hand dropped to the ground.

He looked up in terror.

At the cave entrance, a youth wearing Azure Cloud Sect Disciple attire had appeared sometime unknown.

The youth had a delicate appearance; it was Xiao Fan.

But at this moment, Xiao Fan's eyes were terrifyingly profound and ancient, revealing an indifference and greed that treated all living beings as mere grass.

“Qi Refinement Stage?”

Ye Chen's pupils constricted. As a Soul Transformation Stage mighty figure, even if he was just a Clone, his eyesight remained sharp.

He saw through it immediately: within the youth's body resided an extremely powerful remnant soul.

“Who are you?” Ye Chen shouted harshly, attempting to stall for time with words, while secretly clutching a silver Talisman.

That was the final life-saving trump card Heavenly Secret Master had given him—the Void Shift Talisman.

“Who this old man is, you don't need to know.”

The one controlling the body at this moment was none other than Venerable Yao.

Although he had been forced to use the Blood Escape Technique to flee earlier, he had been constantly monitoring the surrounding activity.

The pure aura of the Innate Dao Body emanating from Ye Chen's Clone was like a bright lamp in the dark to him now.
