62: Taking Lu Xueyao as a disciple? Lu Yuan appears!

Under the nourishment of this endless Essence Blood.

Below that head, a neck, torso, and limbs grew out at a visible speed.

Flesh wriggled, Meridians reshaped.

In just a few breaths, a complete body had condensed.

Blood River Ancestor!

He was clad in a scarlet robe formed from blood, his face pale, but his eyes gleamed with a captivating, demonic light.

He moved his newly formed hands and feet, letting out a series of crackling sounds.

"Five thousand years have passed..."

The Blood River Ancestor took a deep breath, a look of intoxication on his face: "This Ancestor has finally seen the light of day again."

Then.

His demonic eyes slowly fell upon Lu Xueyao, who was not far away.

The moment he saw Lu Xueyao, a hint of surprise flashed in the Blood River Ancestor's eyes.

"Oh?"

"It's actually the Nine Aperture Exquisite Sword Heart?"

He looked Lu Xueyao up and down, as if examining a rare treasure, exclaiming in wonder: "I didn't expect the heavens to bestow such a great gift upon this Ancestor the moment I broke free."

"Little girl, your Aptitude is excellent, even stronger than this Ancestor's back in the day."

The Blood River Ancestor clasped his hands behind his back, adopting a profound and unfathomable posture: "Kneel and kowtow. This Ancestor can make an exception and accept you as my personal Disciple, imparting to you the supreme Law of Blood, helping you reach Void Refining, and even Body Integration Stage in the future, it's not impossible."

In his view, this was an immense favor.

Looking across the entire Eastern Wilderness, who could refuse a Refining Void Great Power's invitation to take them as a Disciple?

Lu Xueyao, facing this terrifying pressure, trembled slightly, but her back remained perfectly straight, like an unbreakable sharp sword.

She looked coldly at the Blood River Ancestor, her voice clear and firm: "I don't care for it."

"I have a Revered Master, and in this life, I will only bow to one person."

"I will never change my allegiance."

Hearing this, the smile on the Blood River Ancestor's face stiffened slightly, and then a hint of brutality appeared in his eyes.

"Revered Master?"

"Hehehe, in that case, this Ancestor will kill your Revered Master."

"Once your so-called Revered Master is dead, you will naturally follow this Ancestor wholeheartedly."

The Blood River Ancestor's tone was sinister, as if killing a person was as simple as crushing a bug to him.

"Kill me?"

Just then.

A faint voice suddenly echoed in the Void Realm.

The voice wasn't loud, yet it clearly reached everyone present, even overpowering the Blood River Ancestor's monstrous blood Qi.

"With that tattered body you just pieced together, do you even qualify?"

As the words fell.

In mid-air, the previously calm space suddenly rippled in layers.

A tall and slender figure, with hands clasped behind his back, walked out of the Void Realm step by step.

With each step he took, visible ripples emanated from the Void Realm beneath his feet.

The newcomer wore a green robe, his black hair cascaded like a waterfall, and his eyes, swirling with golden light, seemed to see through all illusions in the world.

It was precisely Lu Yuan.

Relying on the Golden Eyes of Truth returned by the System, he easily saw through all the nodes of the incomplete Four Symbols Heaven Sealing Array on the outskirts of Fallen Demon Valley.

This grand array, capable of trapping Void Refining Stage Cultivators, was full of flaws in his eyes, allowing him to pass through as if entering an uninhabited land.

"Revered Master!"

Seeing that familiar figure, Lu Xueyao's tense nerves instantly relaxed, her eyes filled with pleasant surprise.

Lu Yuan nodded slightly at her, then turned around and looked down at the Blood River Ancestor below.

That gaze was overly calm.

As if looking at a dead person.

Being stared at with such eyes, an inexplicable surge of anger rose in the Blood River Ancestor's heart.

"Soul Transformation Stage?"

The Blood River Ancestor narrowed his eyes, sensing the Qi fluctuations from Lu Yuan, then let out an extremely piercing, strange laugh: "Hehehe, the younger generation nowadays is truly getting more and more arrogant."

"A mere Soul Transformation, yet you dare to speak so wildly in front of this Ancestor."

"Boy, do you know how many Void Refining Stage Cultivators fell into this Ancestor's hands five thousand years ago?"

"A full twelve!"

"As for Soul Transformation Stage..." The Blood River Ancestor's face showed a cruel sneer: "In this Ancestor's eyes, they are nothing more than ants that can be crushed at will."

Boom!

Before his words finished.

The Blood River Ancestor's aura erupted with a roar.

A terrifying pressure belonging to the Void Refining Early Stage swept out without reservation.

Although he had just revived and his cultivation was far from its Peak, this body was reforged from countless Essence Blood, and its Origin was far stronger than that of ordinary Void Refining Early Stage Cultivators.

The surrounding space, under this pressure, began to groan under the strain, as if it could collapse at any moment.

"Die."

The Blood River Ancestor said nothing more, directly raising a hand and pointing.

Whoosh!

The blood-colored robe behind him violently billowed, and endless blood-fiend Qi gathered, condensing at his fingertip.

In an instant.

A ten-zhang long blood-colored spear appeared out of thin air.

This spear was not a physical entity, but condensed from the purest "Law of Blood," with eerie runes flowing on it, and countless wronged souls faintly wailing within.

"Blood God's Thorn!"

The Blood River Ancestor let out a low roar.

Swish!

The blood-colored spear instantly pierced through the Void Realm, carrying a terrifying aura of destruction, and shot towards Lu Yuan in mid-air.

Wherever the spear passed, space was torn open with a black crack, leaving a bloodstain that took a long time to heal.

This strike was enough to instantly kill a Soul Transformation Stage Cultivator; even a Venerable of the Soul Transformation Late Stage would surely die without a powerful Magic Treasure for protection.

Bai Miaozhen and the others watched this world-destroying strike, their hearts almost stopped beating, their eyes filled with despair.

Is this the power of Void Refining?

It's completely irresistible!

However.

Facing this sure-kill strike, Lu Yuan's expression didn't even change in the slightest.

He merely slowly raised his right hand, extended his index finger, and gently pointed at the rapidly approaching blood-colored spear.

"Fix."

He softly uttered one word.

Buzz!

An invisible fluctuation, centered on his fingertip, instantly spread out.

Law of Space, Third Transformation!

The next moment, a shocking scene occurred.

That blood-colored spear, carrying destructive momentum as if it could pierce through heaven and earth, abruptly stopped three inches from Lu Yuan's glabella.

No matter how the blood-colored spear trembled or erupted with monstrous blood light, it could not advance another inch.

The space around it, at this moment, seemed to have transformed into indestructible divine iron.

"How is this possible!"

The Blood River Ancestor below, his originally playful and cruel expression instantly froze on his face.

His demonic eyes widened sharply, staring intently at the Void Realm near Lu Yuan's fingertip, his voice trembling with disbelief.

"Law of Space?"

"And... it's the Three Transformations Spatial Law that can even bind this Ancestor's Law attacks?"

This kid, he's clearly only at the Soul Transformation Stage.

How could he possess such profound mastery of space?

Lu Yuan waved his hand casually.

Crack!

The blood-colored spear, confined in mid-air, instantly became covered in cracks, then collapsed with a roar, turning into a sky full of blood rain and dissipating.

He stood with his hands behind his back, robes fluttering, looking at the astonished Blood River Ancestor, a faint mocking smile playing on his lips.

"Old antiques from five thousand years ago should honestly rot in the ground."

"Since you've come out, then put your remaining energy to good use and hand over your Origin."
