Chapter 128: The Second Day

At this moment, on the battlefield of the great battle, dozens of cultivators were still busy. They moved the corpses of the Wu tribe warriors to the open space one by one, then stripped off the armor, searched the bodies carefully, and then placed the items searched out in a special place, while the corpses were placed in a special open space. Above the corpse area, faint cyan smoke constantly drifted, and then transformed into spiritual rain of vitality.

According to Little Wei Yuan's instructions, these corpses had to be placed like this for three days. After the poison and magic power in the corpses dissipated, the Azure Void would convert them into spiritual rain. After three days, they would be transported to the designated area for burial. Currently, the area Little Wei Yuan pointed to was the edge of the dense forest at the foot of the mountain. After three days, the boundary domain would expand to there.

Seeing the gifts of heaven and earth with his own eyes, and the Azure Void converting the magic power and poison power possessed by the Wu tribe after killing them into nutrients for the boundary domain, for some reason, Little Wei Yuan suddenly felt a bit of cold fear. The background color of this world might be much crueler than Little Wei Yuan thought.

The sky was getting dark, and the surroundings were already dim, but the sky above the boundary domain was full of sunset clouds, burning like fire. Suddenly, the red of the sunset clouds became thick and sticky, the sky suddenly dimmed, and the atmosphere was extremely oppressive, as if a huge stone was pressed on everyone's heart, and breathing began to become difficult.

Little Wei Yuan looked up at the sky and saw the sunset clouds turning into swathes of blood clouds.

Wu tribe blood curse!

After a crushing defeat, the Wu tribe naturally wouldn't let it go. This was a blood sacrifice curse launched by the Wu tribe from a long distance, aimed at everything within this piece of heaven and earth.

The blood cloud took shape, and drops of blood began to fall. Little Wei Yuan immediately ran to the Azure Void, and at the same time, let the four idle Dao Foundation cultivators immediately enter the array nodes.

The blood drops fell halfway and encountered the obstruction of the array. A layer of faint light appeared, covering the core thousand-foot area of the boundary domain. The blood drops dissolved as soon as they entered the array, and finally disappeared completely when they were still dozens of feet away from the ground.

But the blood rain fell more and more, and as more blood drops fell, the dissolution speed of the array was obviously slower, and the distance of the blood drops from the ground was getting closer and closer. Obviously, the Pure Spirit Array was almost at its limit.

At this moment, the wind suddenly rose. Although the wind was not strong, it blew swathes of blood rain out of the boundary domain from time to time. Where the blood rain fell, the grass and trees withered, the land turned green, and even the stones were corroded into holes.

This wind rose inexplicably, but it did weaken the power of the blood curse quite a bit, allowing the Pure Spirit Array to barely support it. This was actually the effect of the Feng Shui array, weakening the blood curse in this way. If it weren't for the superimposed Feng Shui array, a single Pure Spirit Array couldn't have held it.

Little Wei Yuan stood by the Azure Void and sent a streak of luck into the Yushan. The Yushan, which was originally transparent, was stained with a shadow, and the light in the boundary domain dimmed again, as if shrouded by lead clouds. The dissolution speed of the falling blood rain drops suddenly became faster, giving the Pure Spirit Array, which was already overwhelmed, a chance to breathe.

But the blood rain grew increasingly urgent and dense. A Blood Merging cultivator, having poor luck, was drenched by several blood droplets that broke through the grand formation; he immediately fell to the ground screaming, and in the blink of an eye, several large holes were corroded into his body. His cries grew weaker, and charred black mucus began to flow from his body. After another moment, the entire person was corroded away, leaving a patch of scorched earth several zhang in radius on the ground, with a vague human shape in the center.

The blood rain fell more and more, and blood drops fell on the ground from time to time. After six or seven people died in succession, Little Wei Yuan gathered all the cultivators around the main hall. Little Wei Yuan then exerted his strength to urge the Azure Void, fully protecting the thousand-foot area around the main hall. In just a moment, a streak of luck was exhausted!

Little Wei Yuan didn't hesitate at all, and sent in another streak of luck, fully confronting the blood curse.

The blood rain impacted the array like a rainstorm hitting a rain shed, and the dense sound made all the cultivators' faces pale. They were not afraid of fighting the enemy head-on, but in the face of this blood rain curse that looked like the power of heaven and earth, people could only wait for death passively, and the feeling was completely different.

In the blood rain, blood balls the size of fists began to appear! The array couldn't dissolve this kind of blood ball at all, and they smashed straight toward the ground one by one. A cultivator could no longer suppress the fear in his heart, shouted, and directly sacrificed his magic treasure flying knife, slashing at the blood ball!

The blood ball shattered, and countless tiny blood drops splashed on his face and body. The flying knife was covered with blood stains and landed straight. When it landed, the blade had already been corroded into pits and bumps, and its spirituality was gone.

The cultivator suddenly screamed loudly, and every place splashed by the blood drops began to rot. In the blink of an eye, the millet-sized ulcer turned into a bowl-sized one, which was even faster than being poured by strong acid. He ran a few steps away, then fell to the ground, and turned into a scorched black skeleton in the blink of an eye.

The crowd of cultivators saw this and were all awe-struck. If they could avoid the falling blood balls, they would avoid them; if they couldn't avoid them, they would carefully hold them with magic treasures and send them aside, preferring to lose a magic treasure than lose their lives.

After struggling for a full half an hour, the blood cloud in the sky was exhausted and began to dissipate. At this moment, the Dao power of all Dao Foundation cultivators at the array nodes had bottomed out, and the area around the boundary domain appeared in large swathes of scorched black and foul-smelling, as if large pieces

Little Wei Yuan, meanwhile, had exhausted four full portions of Qi Luck, and now only one portion remained in his sea of consciousness.

They had finally blocked the Shaman tribe's blood curse retaliation; all the cultivators within the domain felt a sense of survival after a catastrophe. This blood curse was so terrifying that the Shaman tribe must have blood-sacrificed at least a thousand people, and it was presided over and launched by a Great Shaman.

Yet, even this had been blocked. Although the price was enormous, everyone now had a genuine expectation for the future in their hearts.

In the blink of an eye, the day grew late, and night fell. Little Wei Yuan let Xu Waner, Yun Feifei, and the others take turns resting, while he walked alone around the domain.

The Azure Void domain had a very high status, and since heaven and earth were shattered, it was difficult to investigate using divination. After launching a curse of such scale, the Shaman tribe would inevitably send people to investigate the results. It was just a pity they had run into Little Wei Yuan.

Azure Void also possessed a certain ability to investigate outside the domain, leaving the Shaman tribe's scouts with nowhere to hide. Little Wei Yuan, alone on horseback, wandered continuously in the night, harvesting squads of Shaman warriors like a ghost. That night, the Shaman tribe dispatched a total of seven small squads, amounting to two hundred and ten men, all of whom became ghosts under Little Wei Yuan's spear, with not a single one escaping the net.

Now Little Wei Yuan only had one last portion of Qi Luck left. A blood curse of this level, let alone coming again, could absolutely not be resisted even if the scale were halved. If another one came, the cultivators would have to leave their lives to fate; even if Yun Feifei or Xu Waner were drenched, they would surely die. The domain would be completely destroyed, and if Azure Void wanted to repair the cursed heaven and earth, it would not be a matter of a day or two—it would have to be counted in years.

!.

Therefore, Little Wei Yuan could only find a way to wipe out all the Shaman scouts, keeping the Shaman tribe from seeing the true state of the domain, ideally making them think there were specialized means within the domain to resist the blood curse, thereby forcing them to change tactics. Changing tactics would inevitably take time, and Little Wei Yuan was currently dragging things out for as long as he could.

As the sky turned white, the first day of Azure Void recognizing its master had finally passed.

Little Wei Yuan returned to the domain, still looking spirited. As long as the Azure Void domain existed, he was effectively cultivating at every moment. Although this method of cultivation was far inferior to meditating in the Grand Void Palace cave dwelling, it had the advantage of being a steady, long-term flow. If the spiritual energy in ordinary places in the Western Region was one, then inside the Azure Void domain it was now ten, and in Hollow Valley Hanging Green, it was two hundred!

Only after leaving the mountain gate did Little Wei Yuan realize the barrenness of the outside world.

The horizon gradually whitened, and a new day arrived. He just didn't know what kind of offensive the Shaman tribe would have today, nor if they would launch another thousand-person blood curse. However, after Little Wei Yuan beheaded a Great Shaman, at least for a short time, no Great Shaman from the Shaman tribe should dare to appear rashly outside Azure Void.
