Chapter 458: The Conspiracy of the Three-Eyed Blue Blood Race

"Master, this old turtle's back armor is afraid it cannot be taken back, let's return to Great Xia first and discuss it in the long run." Guifuzi showed a look of difficulty, his voice carrying a hint of dejection.

"Hmm." Chen Fan tapped his fingertips against the void, and after a moment of thought, he nodded in agreement.

"Master's words are very true..." Guifuzi's old face wrinkled into a ball, hesitating, "But the movement of breaking the water spirit cover is too big, it will inevitably alarm Jiao Cangqi."

Chen Fan's gaze turned and fell on the slave Jiaoming who was standing with his head bowed to the side.

"Your clansmen, how do you enter and exit that water curtain?"

"Back to Master, the Water Spirit Bead can identify the aura of my clan, my clan enters and exits, the water spirit cover will not block, and can pass through directly." Jiaoming answered respectfully.

"That's easy to handle." Chen Fan's mouth hooked into a faint smile, his figure swayed, and he instantly transformed into the appearance of the Three-Eyed Blue Blood Race, and his aura also became exactly the same as the Three-Eyed Blue Blood Race.

Half an hour later, under the guidance of Jiaoming, Chen Fan successfully passed through the water curtain and stepped into the undersea secret realm of the Three-Eyed Race.

"Master, the Divine Turtle Armor is enshrined in front of the Ancestral Sacrifice Hall, I will take you there now." Jiaoming observed his words and expressions and took the initiative to speak.

"No rush." Chen Fan waved his hand, his tone carrying unquestionable majesty, "Take me to the place where blood crystals and soul crystals are produced first."

"This..." Jiaoming's face changed slightly, hesitating, "Master, that place is personally guarded by Jiao Cangqi's younger brother, Jiao Cangchen, and only Jiao Cangqi can enter."

"Stop talking nonsense, lead the way!" Chen Fan's eyes turned cold, and an invisible pressure spread out.

Jiaoming's heart trembled, not daring to say more, so he led Chen Fan around and around, and came to a towering hall.

The hall was wrapped in a layer of incomparably dense water power, and at the top, there was a continuous gathering of crimson energy, like a blood-colored long river hanging down.

"Master, the Nine Heavens Sealing Capital Array has two major crystal hubs, this is one of them. The blood energy gathered here is the production site of blood crystals." Jiaoming did not dare to speak loudly, and could only explain via sound transmission.

"Oh?" Chen Fan's gaze moved slightly, carefully examining the water curtain, "Only producing blood crystals? What about soul crystals?"

"The other crystal hub is on the Antarctic continent, controlled by Nos Zhenyue."

"Antarctic continent..." Chen Fan's mouth curled into a sneer, "It seems that the Three-Eyed Race in the earth's core has already colluded with this one under the sea."

"Jiaoming! Who let you trespass here?"

A sharp shout suddenly came, only to see a Three-Eyed Race powerhouse wearing blue blood battle armor walking over quickly, it was Jiao Cangchen who was guarding this place. Seeing a strange clansman beside Jiaoming, he immediately showed anger.

However, as soon as his scolding fell, a terrifying mental pressure attacked like Mount Tai pressing on the top.

Jiao Cangchen's face changed drastically, just about to open his mouth to call for help, a shadow of an ancient bell instantly sank into his sea of consciousness!

"Hum——"

The Soul Suppressing Bell shook lightly, Jiao Cangchen groaned, his eyes rolled white, his body softened and collapsed to the ground, losing his breath.

"You guard here, not allowing anyone to approach." Chen Fan ordered Jiaoming and pushed the door to walk into the hall.

Inside the hall, dense array patterns flowed like star rivers, gathering on the central platform into a blood-colored crystal the size of an ostrich egg, its light dim, obviously not yet fully formed.

And beside it, a blood crystal the size of a human head floated quietly, blood light shining, auspicious energy in a thousand strips, just by inhaling a trace of the surrounding blood energy, Chen Fan felt the blood in his body surging, and his strength was eager to move.

"Such dense blood energy, this improvement to the body is afraid it is unprecedented!"

A flash of essence in Chen Fan's eyes, no longer hesitating, raised his hand and put the two blood crystals into his space ring together.

Walking out of the hall, Jiaoming immediately greeted him, pointing to the unconscious Jiao Cangchen on the ground, asking carefully: "Master, how should this person be dealt with?"

Chen Fan thought for a moment, picked up Jiao Cangchen, and stepped into his personal domain directly.

After a while, Chen Fan walked out, and the originally unconscious Jiao Cangchen was already standing respectfully to the side, his eyes full of awe and obedience, obviously completely controlled.

"In the future, once the blood crystal matures, immediately transmit the message to me through this mark." Chen Fan flicked his finger, and a spatial mark sank into Jiao Cangchen's palm.

"Subordinate obeys!" Jiao Cangchen bowed.

After arranging everything, Chen Fan took Jiaoming and went straight to the Ancestral Sacrifice Hall.

The Divine Turtle Armor, which was heavily guarded in the past, had been discarded like a shoe since Jiao Cangqi broke through to Martial God, and now it was lying quietly on the altar in front of the Sacrifice Hall.

Chen Fan did not hesitate, waved his hand and put the huge turtle armor into his personal domain, the whole process was silent, without alarming any guards.

Half an hour later, on the desolate island.

The moment Chen Fan took out the Divine Turtle Armor, Guifuzi's eyes instantly turned red, tears streaming down his face. He touched the familiar back armor tremblingly, "plop" knelt on the ground: "Old turtle... thanks Master for retrieving the turtle armor for me!"

"Get up." Chen Fan helped him up, "With this turtle armor, how long will it take you to restore the Beast God realm?"

"Back to Master, about a month is enough." Guifuzi said in a deep voice.

"A month is too long." Chen Fan's brows furrowed slightly, taking out the small unformed blood crystal from the ring. "What about adding this?"

Guifuzi's gaze condensed, staring dead at the blood crystal, his breathing suddenly hurried: "Master! With this supreme treasure to assist, three days! Just three days, this old turtle can return to the Beast God realm!"

"Good, then you start recovering immediately." Chen Fan threw the blood crystal to Guifuzi, but secretly thought: "Three days, the Three-Eyed Blue Blood Race should not be able to take action against the human race, right?"

But thinking about it, he felt it was not safe enough. Even if Guifuzi recovered to Beast God, facing two Martial Gods, could he really fight one against two?

Chen Fan never entrusted his fate to others.

He took out the blood crystal the size of a human head, his gaze solemn. This blood crystal was condensed from the blood energy of countless human ability users, and he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

But the situation was urgent, he couldn't hesitate.

"Must improve strength as soon as possible!"

At this thought, Chen Fan no longer hesitated, crushing the blood crystal. In an instant, the majestic blood energy like the sea surged into his body, he scattered a ground of thunder crystals, and the purple-gold thunder power galloped and roared, intertwined and entangled with the blood energy, and merged into his body together.

Three days later.

A beast roar that shook heaven and earth suddenly erupted, and the entire island shook violently. Guifuzi's true body suddenly appeared, its body was a thousand zhang high, like an ancient divine mountain, even the entire island could not accommodate it.

It roared toward the sky, the sound waves turned into substance, the sea surface instantly set off ten thousand zhang of wild waves, and the entire sea area boiled because of it!

After venting the frustration that had been suppressed for a long time, Guifuzi's figure swayed, transformed into an old man with immortal style and bones, bowed down to Chen Fan, his voice respectful and steady:

"Guifuzi, pays respects to Master!"

Even though he had advanced to Martial God, his loyalty and humility to Chen Fan did not diminish in the slightest. ===== CHAPTER 460 =====

Tens of thousands of meters of seawater, having lost the barrier that held it back, surged into the Three-Eyed Clan's holy land with the force of a collapsing heavenly river, carrying with it an earth-shattering momentum.

Chen Fan's figure flickered; ignoring the surging seawater, he passed through the shattered barrier as if taking a leisurely stroll and stepped into the core area of the Three-Eyed Clan.

"Who dares to trespass into our clan's holy land!"

A violent shout exploded like a thunderclap, accompanied by a vast, boundless pressure that swept toward him.

Jiao Cangqi's figure stepped through the air. He was clad in blue scale armor, and the third vertical eye on his forehead slowly opened, emitting a cold, eerie light. When he saw the face of the intruder, his pupils suddenly contracted.

"It's you? Chen Fan!" Jiao Cangqi's voice was filled with disbelief, then turned sinister, "You actually aren't dead yet!"

"Chen Fan, you have a lot of nerve!" Jiao Cangqi shouted again, his aura surging violently.

Boom!

A pressure far exceeding that of a half-god crushed down toward Chen Fan like Mount Tai. Within that pressure, there was a faint hint of the laws of heaven and earth, vast as the sea, making it impossible to breathe.

Chen Fan's expression changed wildly; the thunder power within his body even became sluggish.

"You... you have attained the Martial God realm?" A monstrous wave surged in Chen Fan's heart.

Three months ago, he had seen Jiao Cangqi fight with his own eyes. This person was still separated from the Martial God realm by an insurmountable chasm; how could he have broken through in just three short months?!

Jiao Cangqi looked up and let out a long howl, his voice filled with triumph and arrogance: "Hahaha! Chen Fan, oh Chen Fan, I thought you had long since been buried in a sea of fire, but you really are lucky! Since that's the case, then die again!"

Before his voice had even faded, the vertical eye on Jiao Cangqi's forehead shone brilliantly.

Hum—!

The surrounding water vapor instantly boiled, and endless Water Dao rules condensed and intertwined in the air, transforming into thousands of razor-sharp water arrows that shot toward Chen Fan with a screech that tore through the void.

"Nether Karma Fire!"

Chen Fan flipped his palm, and pale karma fire gushed out, forming a flame barrier in front of him.

However, those seemingly fragile water arrows seemed to naturally suppress all fire power in the world, easily piercing through the karma fire barrier and shooting toward Chen Fan without losing any momentum.

"Teleportation!"

Chen Fan was startled and dared not be careless; he instantly activated his space ability, and his figure vanished from the spot.

"Hahaha! It's useless!" Jiao Cangqi was in high spirits and took a step forward, the Water Dao rules around him becoming even denser. "In the face of absolute Dao rules, your abilities are like ants trying to shake a tree! Abilities originate from talent, while Dao rules control heaven and earth. You are innately suppressed; how can you be my opponent?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiao Cangqi flashed forward, carrying thousands of water waves, and killed toward Chen Fan once more.

Chen Fan's eyes were solemn; he wanted to test just how large the gap was between his current self and a true Martial God.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The collision of fists, the clash of power against power.

Chen Fan pushed his thunder and space abilities to the limit; lightning flashed on his fists, and spatial ripples spread out in layers. However, in the face of Jiao Cangqi's attacks, which contained Water Dao rules, he appeared stretched thin.

In just three or five rounds, Chen Fan was in constant danger, repeatedly struck by the Water Dao rules, his clothes torn and blood spilling from the corners of his mouth.

"Is this the power of a Martial God..." Chen Fan felt a chill in his heart. "Indeed, it has already exceeded the scope of abilities and touched the origin of heaven and earth."

If he kept fighting, he would undoubtedly lose!

Chen Fan's heart stirred, and an invisible force of time quietly permeated the area.

"Time, Stasis!"

The next moment, everything around them seemed to have been pressed on the pause button.

Jiao Cangqi's face with its ferocious smile, the fist that had condensed the Water Dao rules, and even the water droplets falling in the air were frozen at this moment.

Although the time stasis only lasted for 0.1 seconds, for Chen Fan, it was already enough.

"Teleportation!"

His figure vanished once again.

When the power of time dissipated and Jiao Cangqi reacted, Chen Fan's figure had long since disappeared into the horizon.

"Hmph, you run fast." Jiao Cangqi snorted coldly and did not pursue. He had just broken through to Martial God and was in a critical period of comprehending the Water Dao rules; he did not want to be distracted by chasing Chen Fan.

A thousand miles away, on a desolate island.

Chen Fan landed unsteadily, spat out a mouthful of blood, and his face was as pale as paper.

Guifuzi hurried forward, his expression worried: "Master, are you alright?"

"I'm fine." Chen Fan waved his hand and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his face so gloomy it could drip water.

Three months ago, Jiao Cangqi was not his match.

In these three short months, the opponent had been able to cross from the peak of Martial Saint to the Martial God realm; there must be a massive secret behind this.

"Master, in this old turtle's opinion, this person must have obtained some heaven-defying treasure to be able to ascend to the sky in one step and forcibly break through the bottleneck," Guifuzi said in a deep voice.

"A treasure?" Chen Fan frowned, and a thought flashed through his mind, "Could it be the secret vault of the Beast Worship Cult?"

"Master, why don't we capture a member of the Three-Eyed Clan and ask?" Guifuzi suggested.

"Good." Chen Fan nodded, "You go and guard outside that barrier; as soon as someone comes out, regardless of their cultivation level, capture them immediately!"

"Yes, Master!" Guifuzi accepted the order and transformed into a stream of light, disappearing into the horizon.

Two hours later.

Guifuzi returned, carrying a Three-Eyed Blue Blood man in his hand. This person had a powerful aura, having already reached the mid-stage of Martial Saint, but at this moment, he was being carried like a chick by Guifuzi, his face full of terror.

"Master, I have fulfilled the mission." Guifuzi respectfully threw the person in front of Chen Fan.

"Help me enslave him." Chen Fan's tone was flat, yet carried an irresistible majesty.

Guifuzi nodded, and a soul contract formed between Chen Fan and this person.

The Three-Eyed clansman let out a shrill scream, his whole body trembling, the terror in his eyes gradually replaced by confusion, and finally, it turned into absolute loyalty.

"Jiaoming, pays respects to Master!" He knelt on the ground and kowtowed respectfully.

"I ask, you answer. If there is half a lie, your soul will be scattered!" Chen Fan looked down at him, his voice cold.

"Yes, Master! Jiaoming will tell everything he knows!"

Ten minutes later.

Chen Fan's expression became incomparably ugly, and the killing intent around his body almost solidified.

It turned out that Jiao Cangqi's breakthrough did not rely on any treasure, but benefited from that Nine Heavens Sealing Capital Array that shrouded the globe!

This great array was far more than just shielding other-dimensional spaces.

It also had two terrifying functions:

First, it absorbed the blood energy of all corpses within the array's range, condensing it into blood crystals containing pure life energy;

Second, it devoured the wandering souls of all the dead, refining pure soul origin and condensing it into soul crystals.

Blood crystals could help ability users rapidly increase their physique strength, while soul crystals could cause soul power to skyrocket. It was precisely by relying on these two that Jiao Cangqi had forcibly piled up a Martial God realm!

What made Chen Fan even more alarmed was that not only Jiao Cangqi, but even Nos Zhenyue had broken through to the Martial God realm using the same method!

Moreover, as the death toll on Blue Star continued to soar, the production of blood crystals and soul crystals was also constantly increasing.

If this continued, there would be more and more Martial Gods in the Three-Eyed Clan!

"So, the Three-Eyed Clan intends to drive the human race to the African continent just to farm us, to produce blood crystals and soul crystals continuously?" Chen Fan's voice was cold and bone-chilling, every word seeming to carry shards of ice.

"Ye... yes, Master." Jiaoming answered tremblingly, "The Great Elder said that killing everyone directly is too wasteful; only by farming them can they provide a long-term source of power for our clan... just like... just like the Ghost Race farms us..."

"Farming?"

Chen Fan repeated these two words in a low voice, the anger in his heart erupting like a volcano.

The Ghost Race farmed the Three-Eyed Clan and the human race to seize their physical bodies.

And the Three-Eyed Clan actually intended to imitate the Ghost Race and treat the human race as production tools!

These alien races truly all deserved to die!
