429: What is a blood demon?

Oh, my fellow Dragons, who understands this feeling?

Elder Yunlong, a formidable Dragon God Seven-star expert who dominated his region, had never been so humble.

And it was in front of this mere youth, who wasn't even a fraction of a percent of his age.

Tears welled up in his eyes.

He'd go back and drill the little whelps, making them understand what gratitude was.

"Alright, alright, I'll just have to make do with your ticket money for this transaction," Lin Ye said with a hint of disdain.

It's well known that the value of such long-term gains isn't great; they're risky, time-consuming, and unstable. Besides large families, who among private individuals would like them?

What use would Lin Ye have for that? Who knew if he'd stir up trouble in the Battlefield of the Gods and then run away?

Or he might die, or the Yunlong Clan might go back on their word, or the profits might be poor, or the Dragon Clan might simply be sanctioned by other forces.

It was too unstable, alright?

An unobtained cake, no matter how tempting, you wouldn't know if it was a pile of shit.

Lin Ye held his nose and accepted this, also giving himself a legitimate way to absorb those great repair (fortifying) items.

This Elder Yunlong seemed to have thoroughly understood his need for those things, which was why he intentionally acted this way, using some currently unseen things to exchange for immediate benefits.

Elder Yunlong revealed a fox-like smile.

"Pleasure working with you."

"Pleasure working with you."

One voice was cheerful, the other unwilling.

Both parties finalized the specific profit-sharing ratio.

"Then, young friend, could you separate the clouds? Our Yunlong Clan needs this too much!"

"What? With this compensation, you still want me to provide meticulous service? Do you really think I'm easy to bully?" Lin Ye showed a fierce expression.

"Anything can be discussed, it's just that our Yunlong Clan truly needs this too much."

"You'll have to pay more," Lin Ye said, enunciating each word.

"Pay, absolutely pay."

.........

"So stingy."

After the transaction concluded, Lin Ye couldn't help but complain to Hu.

"Stingy? You don't know how much the ticket fee for the Battlefield of the Gods is worth?" Hu scoffed.

"I don't care about that. It's uncertain whether we'll even have to run away later, so what's the use of that thing?" Lin Ye dismissed it.

If he had a legitimate identity, that thing would indeed be useful.

Handing it over to a major force in the Galaxy or the universe, he wouldn't fear them going back on their word.

But his current identity couldn't see the light of day.

This Elder Yunlong was also an old fox; he looked like he was struggling, but in reality, he was just unwilling to let go of existing power.

He added some profit-sharing later, but in Lin Ye's view, it was still just so-so.

Ultimately, it wasn't as substantial as immediate profit.

The next day, Lin Ye began his work.

A black hole appeared in his hand, and a sea of clouds was instantly sucked into it.

After layers of separation, it regained its pristine white appearance.

And within Lin Ye's divine kingdom, all his perfect clones were frantically refining the blood of the Chaotic Beast.

Meanwhile, on the other side, a blood pool was established, and Xiaobai lay within it.

His entire body exuded endless runes, constantly absorbing Dragon Blood. Various types of Dragon Blood were mixed, their essence extracted, gradually losing their vitality.

With Xiaobai's strength, he was not sufficient to extract Dragon Blood. These Dragon Bloods varied in grade, but none were something Xiaobai could easily touch.

However, with Lin Ye's help...

These processed bloods could indeed be digested.

"This Star Spirit, it does have some potential," Hu said.

"How is it? Hu, what is Xiaobai's potential?" Lin Ye asked.

Star Spirits have existed since ancient times, so Hu naturally understood them well.

It's just that before, his evaluations were always 'decent,' with specific potential to be seen later.

After all, Star Spirits who perfectly awakened all their skills were not uncommon among the vast numbers.

Which Star Spirit Hu had seen didn't have heaven-defying skills? If they weren't heaven-defying, he wouldn't even remember them.

Just like Lin Ye, he had no impression of people who weren't beautiful in his mind.

So Hu had never really evaluated Xiaobai.

He always said to see how he was after advancing to Master.

"How can I say for sure?" Hu pouted.

The advancement of a Star Spirit was like a gamble.

Generally speaking, powerful individuals who wanted a good Star Spirit would screen a large number.

And someone as devoted as Lin Ye was rare.

This Star Spirit thing, one truly didn't know how it was born. No matter how it was nurtured, its intelligence still seemed unawakened.

Even those Venerables didn't quite understand the birth mechanism of Star Spirits.

Some said it was a playful creation of the worlds will, others said it was a bug born from the collision of laws.

There were various opinions, so he didn't quite understand what Xiaobai truly was.

"Alright then." Lin Ye was extremely anxious.

Now, the only thing that could help Xiaobai was the system panel.

He poured the accumulated points onto Xiaobai as if they were worthless.

"Xiaobai, you really need to prove yourself," Lin Ye silently prayed.

Outside, a massive black hole spanned the sky.

Within this crimson sea of clouds, a vortex formed.

It swallowed without end.

........

At the deepest part of the sea of clouds.

A brutal battlefield erupted with terrifying fluctuations.

The Chaotic Beasts and the Great Dragons fought frantically.

After the Battlefield of the Gods connected with the Star Realm, the black crack (fissure) that spanned the sky attracted the attention of all the fierce beasts within the battlefield.

Their primal urge for freedom made them rush out of the battlefield one after another.

Their intelligence, weakened by Chaos, made them instinctively want to escape Chaos.

"The sea of clouds is being weakened. Does the Yunlong Clan have a solution?"

An ancient Great Dragon stood proudly at the very top of the battlefield.

Powerful worlds will, like a barrier, blocked the Great Dragons who wanted to escape the battlefield.

Venerable.

One of the Dragon Lords of the Great Dragon Clan.

His will descended, reverberating in the minds of the few Great Dragons commanding the battlefield.

"Yes, Lord of Dark Dragon, the Yunlong Clan has found a prodigy who can resolve chaotic energy, a Blood Demon Magic Cultivator (demonic cultivator) from the Eastern Great World."

"He is very unique. He can even resolve chaotic energy that I cannot. Pay attention to him. If necessary, strengthen ties with him."

"Yes, Dragon Lord."

The ancient Great Dragon closed his eyes.

The Dragon Emperors also breathed a sigh of relief.

"The Lord's will must be carried out. That Blood Demon must be befriended."

"Reaching Dragon God Six-star in ten thousand years, truly a prodigy. He must be an unparalleled genius even among demonic cultivators."

The Dragon Emperors were in agreement.

The Dragon Emperors, the strongest besides the Dragon Lords, were all Master Eight-star existences.

Upon the Dragon Emperors' command, the Elder Yunlongs were greatly shaken.

Their clan leader was only a Dragon God Seven-star, so they naturally dared not defy the Dragon Emperors' orders.

"Damn it, the transaction was too stingy."

"He's probably going to hold a grudge against us."

"We must mend the relationship."

"The Great Elder was foolish, greedy for small gains and forgetting the greater good."

"Third Brother, do you have a problem with me?"

.........

Lin Ye finished devouring again and was about to go back to digest when he found that Elder Yunlong had come looking for him again.

"What? Is there something else?" He said, letting out a satisfied burp.

"Young friend, the Yunlong Clan is impoverished and failed to give you the treatment you deserve. It truly weighs on our hearts. Therefore, we just applied to the Dragon Emperor, and unexpectedly, the Dragon Emperor agreed to set up a special compensation fund for you," the Great Elder said.
