Chapter 218

Teacher, there are foreign race people.

In the new six-star Spirit Realm, Lu Xun again discovered foreign race people.

The Spirit Realm he selected had not only few humans, but also few foreign race people.

Therefore, encounters with foreign race people were not common.

This time, however, it was Lu Xun who, via the Heavenly Dao Eye, emitted several.

This time's foreign race people were somewhat special; they looked identical to humans, but their skin was as white as a corpse, and they could transform into bat-like humanoid monsters during battle.

That is, wings grow on their backs, and their hands and feet turn into claws.

Their entire body's muscles likewise become explosive, possessing terrifying defensive and regenerative power.

"Blood Clan."

Although Lu Xun had never seen this kind of foreign race person before, he still managed to identify them.

These foreign race people belong to the Blood Clan among the foreign races.

A race extremely similar to the vampires of Western legend.

These Blood Clan people are more active in Spirit Realms where Westerners operate.

When attacking Lan Xing, they were not particularly interested in Easterners either.

It seems Westerners' blood is more attractive to them.

These few Blood Clan people are quite formidable in strength, with one at the Six Realms and several at the Five Realms; their opponents are a large group of celestial alien species.

"Let's go take a look."

Fu Xue developed a bit of interest.

Blood Clan people rarely come to Spirit Realms where Easterners are active; since they came, it must mean they discovered something good.

What the Blood Clan wanted to obtain, Lu Xun actually saw.

It was in a vast flower field, where some strange plants grew within black crystal; their stems were as translucent as black onyx, with blood-red patterns on them.

The leaves were silver-gray with a metallic sheen, and the petals looked as if carved from rubies.

At this moment, the petals were tightly closed, unknown what lay inside.

The Six Realms Blood Clan have all come; these rose-like strange flowers are certainly not ordinary.

What exactly they are used for, Lu Xun does not know.

"Hmm, over here."

Lu Xun brought Fu Xue and sneaked over.

"It's a scarlet rose; no wonder the Blood Clan came—when the scarlet rose blooms, a drop of scarlet blood appears above the stamen, and this drop of blood can promote the Blood Clan's bloodline evolution."

From afar, Fu Xue saw the Blood Clan people and the situation of that flower field.

Several hours passed, yet these Blood Clan people had not yet taken this place.

Mainly because there are many celestial alien species, among them are at least three Six Realms alien species.

The Six Realms Blood Clan's strength is extremely formidable; one against three, they have already slain a Six Realms alien species.

These alien species' forms are interesting; they resemble bees, but are far more ferocious than the bees on Lan Xing.

When their wings flap, they can stir up storms, launch sonic wave attacks, and release light pillars and the like.

The poisonous stingers on their tails are also very formidable; if they get close, once the stinger emerges, it is hard to dodge.

"Teacher, wait until they've mostly finished, then we'll go up."

Lu Xun prepared to reap the benefits after they fought.

Although these Blood Clan mainly target Westerners, if they encounter Easterners they will not be polite.

Everyone is in a hostile state, so Lu Xun naturally has no need to be polite to them.

"Good."

Fu Xue had the same thought.

Around the two, space had already been distorted by Lu Xun, plus with some distance between them, the Blood Clan people would not easily notice.

"Boom~"

A Six Realms alien species was struck down by a Six Realms Blood Clan member, smashing the ground into a huge pit.

The Blood Clan's power is rather special.

Like humans, their internal energy consists of spiritual power, true qi, and magic power.

Demons possess demonic power.

Demonic tribes possess demonic qi.

As for the Blood Clan, their bodies lack similar energy.

They emphasize bloodline; the stronger the bloodline, the stronger they are at the same age.

One rule is: the longer a Blood Clan lives, the stronger they become.

That is, the older they are, the stronger they are.

Their lifespan is enviable to humans; they are born long-lived, to the point ordinary people think they are immortal.

That Six Realms Blood Clan looks quite aged, at least equivalent to a human grandfather-level Blood Clan.

"With such an aged appearance, who knows how many years he's lived; this guy's bloodline is rather ordinary, but his combat power is quite formidable."

Lu Xun watched silently.

Blood Clan with strong bloodlines appear youthful even at Six Realms; if their faces look aged, then they are beyond Six Realms.

Old as he may be, this Six Realms Blood Clan's combat power is beyond doubt.

After wearing down the celestial alien species considerably, another celestial alien species was killed by him.

Only one Six Realms alien species remained.

All three couldn't beat it, and this one is even less of a match.

Boom!

The Six Realms blood clan's figure moved so fast it couldn't be seen, its claws like lightning, and it killed the last Six Realms alien species.

Although there were still many Five Realms alien species, facing a Six Realms being they were completely outmatched.

"Teacher, same old plan—you make the first move, I'll create an opportunity for you."

Lu Xun sent a voice transmission to Fu Xue.

Although they were in a distorted space, to avoid being overheard by special abilities, their communication remained via voice transmission.

"Wait."

Fu Xue, however, sensed the movement.

"Someone else is here."

Lu Xun likewise sensed it.

Fu Xue involuntarily glanced at Lu Xun.

Lu Xun's eyes... were quite formidable.

Just as the Six Realms blood clan was clearing the alien species, the hidden oriole stirred.

Several figures shot out at lightning speed, rushing to attack that Six Realms blood clan.

"Barbarians!"

These few people turned out to be towering barbarians.

The barbarians also placed great importance on bloodline, and this scarlet rose was likewise a supreme treasure to them.

"Damn it!"

The blood clan never expected that after fighting for half a day, there would still be a hidden oriole behind them.

The Six Realms blood clan, off guard, almost fell to a sneak attack by a Six Realms barbarian.

"Hahaha, you blood-sucking worms, hurry up and obediently die."

The barbarians were especially arrogant.

"Savage people, who would fear you!"

Although the Six Realms blood clan had exhausted itself after slaying three Six Realms alien species, it still fought to the death without retreating.

The two sides then went into full battle.

This fight lasted a day and a night.

The blood clan could no longer hold on.

Mainly because they had previously expended too much energy dealing with the starry void alien species.

"Retreat!"

Although extremely unwilling, the Six Realms blood clan had no choice but to retreat.

If they kept fighting, they might not be able to escape.

In fact, a battle between two Six Realms beings is actually very hard to kill.

If one Six Realms wants to leave while another wants to stay, the difficulty is considerable.

But there is a precondition: you must not court death yourself.

Obviously they can't hold on, yet they insist on staying—if they don't die, who will?

"Hahahaha~"

Seeing the Six Realms blood clan driven off, the group of barbarians burst into laughter.

"Now!"

When the oriole had just succeeded, its vigilance was at its lowest.

Lu Xun was about to notify Fu Xue to act, but Fu Xue transformed into a stream of light and rushed out.

"Huh?"

The Six Realms barbarian sensed the movement, his entire strength instantly surged, and the barbarian patterns etched on his body lit up layer by layer.

The barbarians bear the character 'barbarian' because their cultivation method is simple and brutal, and they are extraordinarily harsh on themselves.

From childhood they soak in the blood of fierce beasts to strengthen their physique and qi and blood, which causes many barbarian children to become crippled outright.

But those who stand out will all be fine seedlings.

Starting at age three, they begin to inscribe barbarian patterns on their bodies.

Each year, their newly grown skin covers over the previous barbarian patterns.

At that point they can inscribe new barbarian patterns.

In this way, layer upon layer, by the time they reach adulthood their bodies bear over ten layers of barbarian patterns.

Barbarian patterns have many uses—they can be employed in cultivation, in combat, and there are also specialized barbarian patterns.

For example, fire patterns, lightning patterns, wind patterns.

This grants them corresponding elemental attacks.

Thus, even barbarians with poor bloodlines can rely on these patterns to possess considerable combat ability.

It's like allowing ordinary people who cannot open their meridians to reach the first three realms just the same.

Barbarian patterns can be regarded as an external meridian.

Once, human powerhouses also studied barbarian patterns, hoping to apply them to humans.

But after recruiting some volunteers for trials, they ultimately gave up.

Mainly because this method is too painful and cruel; even among the barbarians the success rate is less than half.

If it fails, one becomes a cripple outright.

For humans, the success rate is even lower, less than half.

The remaining ninety-five percent... must all be abolished.

Humans' reproductive capacity far exceeds that of the barbarians; as long as they can produce enough offspring, they can give rise to an endless stream of cultivators.

There's no need to use such an extreme method.

"Humans!"

The barbarian Six Realms warrior had already spotted Fu Xue, let out a loud roar, his whole body—including the giant hammer in his hand—wreathed in lightning, and he came smashing down.

The barbarian patterns on his body were lightning patterns.

This made him look even cooler than the thunder god in old movies.

This also became his final moment of coolness in life.

Because the next second, Lu Xun used the Immobilizing Spell, directly rendering him unable to move.

In an instant, Fu Xue's aura surged violently, a mountain‑overturning, sea‑overwhelming ferocious assault poured down like a raging tide, instantly engulfing his figure completely.

This guy's equipment wasn't as luxurious as the blood demon's; how could it withstand Fu Xue's attack?

He was directly cut down by Fu Xue with a single sword strike.

"Run away~"

The other barbarians were terrified and scattered in flight.

"Want to run?"

Lu Xun struck out, his flying sword shooting forth and harvesting these barbarian Five Realms warriors.

Now he, in his Immortal Cultivation realm, has begun to surpass limits at the Four Realms, so dealing with these Five Realms poses no problem at all.

Some of the barbarian Five Realms warriors' barbarian patterns indeed had outstanding defense, but Lu Xun's flying sword was no simple matter either; after he added Phoenix True Flame to it, slaying Five Realms warriors became extremely fast.

Not long after, all the barbarians were slaughtered to the last.

"Not a bad haul."

Their belongings naturally went to Lu Xun.

One Six Realms warrior, plus a group of Five Realms warriors carrying their own gear—naturally a very good haul.

After Lu Xun gathered everything, he also transplanted those crimson roses into the Xuanpu Jade Vessel.

All the spoils thus came to rest.

"Teacher, why don't we go to a place with many foreign peoples and kill and loot?"

Lu Xun's eyes shifted, and he had an idea.

As time passed, the good things in the Spirit Realm became ever scarcer.

Even those Spirit Realms that few people used to enter are now seeing more and more entrants.

There's nothing to be done; even though there are many Spirit Realms, the number of people from all tribes is even greater.

In the High Martial Era, the total number of cultivators on each Spirit Star is enormous.

Moreover, with the existence of stellar alien species, the spiritual objects in the Spirit Realm cannot possibly stay put waiting for you.

This has led to a recent decline in harvests.

So it would be better to rely on magic curses and go kill and loot.

Killing a Six Realms warrior yields a huge haul.

In the process of killing and looting, one can also continue to seek opportunities.

Just right,

Fu Xue said that one month's time is still short.

Lu Xun can also use this as an excuse to have her bring him along more.

"Kill and loot?"

Fu Xue's eyes flickered slightly, her gaze landing on Lu Xun, half‑smiling.

Lu Xun then realized his wording was improper and explained: "Naturally it's only aimed at foreign tribes; with my Immobilizing Technique, and the teacher being so formidable, they won't even have a chance to struggle."

Fu Xue's lips curled slightly as her fingertip lightly brushed the sword blade, cold light reflecting in her eyes.

"Good."

She agreed.

She has never minded making the enemy understand what despair is.

Lu Xun's proposal happened to suit her taste perfectly.

"Teacher, then you pick the Spirit Realm."

After returning to the South Heaven Gate, Lu Xun handed over the authority to choose the Spirit Realm to Fu Xue.

Only then did Fu Xue know which Spirit Realm had more foreign tribespeople.

"Just this one."

Fu Xue had made her choice.

Lu Xun looked and saw it was Spirit Realm No. 469; the number being so far back suggests it's a newly emerged Six‑Star Spirit Realm.

Such a new Spirit Realm hasn't been explored much yet, so there should be plenty of alien beings inside.

"Let's go!"

With the decision made, Lu Xun felt eager and excited, grabbed Fu Xue's hand and set off.

Fu Xue hesitated.

Because Lu Xun pulled... it was actually her little hand.

Unlike before, when entering the Spirit Realm, it was always Fu Xue pulling Lu Xun's wrist to go in.

If it were anyone else, they'd probably have been shaken loose—or even injured—by her protective true qi long ago.

The one who took her hand was Lu Xun... Fu Xue ultimately chose to remain silent, as if this matter never happened.

Sigh... How did I pull her hand?

In the rainbow bridge, Lu Xun also discovered.

Fu Xue's hand is really icy.

Although icy, it's really soft.

Lu Xun also ended up pulling her hand unintentionally, but now it's not good to let go.

Since it's been pulled, let it be; she didn't object anyway.

Thus, Lu Xun continued to pretend not to know, until entering the Spirit Realm, then he silently let go.

Ah...

Several hours later, in Spirit Realm No. 469, a group of demon tribe members were slaughtered by Lu Xun and Fu Xue to the point of utter defeat.

Lu Xun's kill-and-loot plan began.

This Spirit Realm is naturally a six-star Spirit Realm, with a relatively large area, and there are not few foreign tribes active inside.

Among this group of demon tribe members, the Six Realms was immobilized by Lu Xun with a binding spell, then the two cooperated in one wave to kill it.

Once the Six Realms was killed, the other demon tribe members hardly escaped.

Teacher, they have a lot of good stuff on them.

No wonder the demon tribe loves to block doors so much.

Also no wonder there were so many bandits in ancient times.

The profit from killing and looting is indeed huge.
