Chapter 3599: Bloodline Suppression
The Xue Ling Shen was placed by Duanmu Xin into a crystal box, and he walked toward Ye Liuyun, holding it with both hands.
Ye Liuyun kept watching him and the Xue Ling Shen with his Golden Pupil.
Suddenly, he noticed that the Xue Ling Shen seemed alive, still breathing in a rhythmic expansion and contraction.
Ye Liuyun immediately asked Li Qianjiao and the Alchemists.
"You've found another treasure, a ten‑thousand‑year‑old Xue Ling Shen; that's an extremely rare treasure!"
"A ten‑thousand‑year‑old Xue Ling Shen that can breathe on its own is normal; it could even transform into a demon!"
Li Qianjiao and the Alchemists, upon hearing it was a ten‑thousand‑year‑old Xue Ling Shen that could breathe on its own, all recognized it as an extraordinary treasure.
At that moment, Duanmu Xin also stepped in front of Ye Liuyun, took a deep breath, and prepared to open the crystal box containing the Xue Ling Shen to show Ye Liuyun.
"Wait, a ten‑thousand‑year‑old Xue Ling Shen that can breathe on its own? Could it absorb a person's Bloodline Power?"
At this point, an Alchemist suddenly recalled something and raised a question.
When Ye Liuyun heard this, he suddenly realized that Duanmu Xin was likely keeping this trouble in reserve.
But it was already too late for him to stop Duanmu Xin; Duanmu Xin had already opened the crystal box.
When the crystal box opened, the Xue Ling Shen unleashed an extremely strong bloodline‑absorbing power; to Ye Liuyun it felt as if its suction rivaled that of a Red Lotus.
He immediately fortified his bloodline. Especially the fifteen drops of Super‑Divine Essence blood within him instantly unleashed their power to resist the Xue Ling Shen's absorption.
Duanmu Xin was also barely holding on. Since his cultivation realm could no longer advance, he simply decided to gamble with Ye Liuyun, draining his Bloodline Power so that he could never advance his realm again.
As for himself, he could later capture Human Martial Cultivators to absorb their bloodline power and replenish himself. Though he wouldn't become very strong, it would at least be enough to cope.
Having realized that further breakthroughs were hopeless, he intended to perish together with Ye Liuyun.
However, Ye Liuyun's fifteen drops of Super‑Divine Essence blood also suppressed the Xue Ling Shen. It hadn't fully transformed into a demon yet; it was instinctively absorbing bloodline power. Sensing a more powerful danger, it immediately ceased absorbing Ye Liuyun's bloodline and instead focused on draining Duanmu Xin and the surrounding people's bloodlines.
The others kept a short distance and immediately stepped back, but Duanmu Xin could not escape. The Bloodline Power throughout his body was being rapidly sucked away by the Xue Ling Shen.
Ye Liuyun instantly felt the changes in himself and in him.
"Good thing I have this Super‑Divine Essence blood, otherwise I'd end up like Duanmu Xin! This guy is ruthless—he set a trap for me and even got himself caught in it! Heh, I want to see how long he can hold out!"
Ye Liuyun's mouth twitched upward as he smiled at Duanmu Xin.
Duanmu Xin's complexion had turned pale. Yet he saw Ye Liuyun standing still without flinching, calm and composed, showing no sign of his bloodline being drained.
"How is this possible? You're unscathed?" Duanmu Xin looked at Ye Liuyun, then at the Xue Ling Shen in his hand, unsure what went wrong.
"It's just a cultivation resource; what could happen to me? But you, your complexion looks terrible!"
Ye Liuyun deliberately teased Duanmu Xin.
Duanmu Xin gritted his teeth, reached into the crystal box, and pulled the Xue Ling Shen out directly, thinking the crystal box had delayed its absorption.
But this made the Xue Ling Shen absorb his bloodline even faster. Soon, Duanmu Xin's whole body withered. He now relied entirely on True Essence to stay upright.
"Hmm, not bad, it's a good thing. Give it to me!"
Ye Liuyun was unhurried and did not reach out to take it; instead he told him to put it back and handed the crystal box to him.
"... \" Duanmu Xin finally realized that Ye Liuyun was truly unaffected.
So he quickly collected the Xue Ling Shen, and the crystal
box was closed again.
"What's wrong with you, why do you look so pale?" Ye Liuyun asked, still aware of the situation.
He gathered the Xue Ling Shen and warned everyone in the Space World about its danger, telling them not to open the box. Yue Hong tried it later and found it could also suppress the Xue Ling Shen.
Li Qianjiao, standing far away, still felt the suction on bloodlines when the Xue Ling Shen was released.
"Duanmu Xin is truly despicable! He used this method to harm people!" she lamented on Ye Liuyun's behalf, thinking some of Ye Liuyun's Bloodline Power had been drained.
"Ha ha, harming others backfires on oneself. His whole body's Bloodline Power is now less than a tenth of what it was!" Ye Liuyun transmitted this to her.
"Perhaps my realm hasn't recovered yet, and I still have hidden injuries!" Duanmu Xin finally replied to Ye Liuyun. He was like a mute eating bitter medicine, forced to endure his inner bitterness alone.
"The item is fine; I take it, which spares you death. Yet you had your subordinates attack me, and this time it fell into my hands again; tell me how to resolve this!"
Duanmu Xin's complexion turned even whiter, realizing that being tormented by Ye Liuyun again was worse than death.
"I've already been ruined by you; what more do you want?" he shouted at Ye Liuyun.
"Heh, whatever I think is based on your actions, not because I want to..."
Ye Liuyun smiled calmly, casting a spell that caused countless Buddha Light to erupt within him, directly striking his core elixir.
"You..." Duanmu Xin was utterly speechless. Ye Liuyun's claim was not wrong; each time it was he who first attacked Ye Liuyun. But he was truly being overly suppressed.
Now he could not even speak; he could only muster all his Demon Qi to fend off the Buddha Light, reducing damage to himself.
He was only at the Sixth Layer, and his resistance to Ye Liuyun's Buddha Light Power was limited; his core elixir would still be eroded by the Buddha Light.
"You all go capture his subordinates and seize their resources!"
Ye Liuyun immediately transmitted the order to his subordinates. When Duanmu Xin emerged, he had already made his own subordinates abandon resistance. No matter how they fought, they could not match Ye Liuyun's six to seven hundred troops.
Thus, Ye Liuyun's subordinates quickly and smoothly captured those Demon Cultivators, handing them over to Ye Liuyun to place Slave Seals on.
He also took the resources from the Treasure Vault, but the resources held by the Demon Cultivators were distributed among everyone, giving them material to cultivate and increase combat power.
In the end, Ye Liuyun stripped all of Duanmu Xin's resources. Duanmu Xin continued to battle with his internal Demon Qi against Buddha Light Power, watching helplessly as Ye Liuyun took his resources, too afraid to resist. Fearing any resistance, Ye Liuyun would punish him with even harsher methods.
In his eyes, Ye Liuyun seemed more like a demon than the Demon Race! Recently the code conversion has been severe, giving us more motivation, updating faster; please take a moment to exit reading mode. Thank you.
