Taking Lu Xueyao as a Disciple? Lu Yuan Appears!

Nourished by this endless essence and blood.

Below that head, the neck, torso, limbs... grew out at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Flesh and blood pulsate, and meridians are reshaped.

In just a few breaths, a complete body was formed.

Blood River Ancestor!

He wore a scarlet robe made of congealed blood, and although his face was pale, his eyes gleamed with a captivating and eerie light.

He moved the newborn's hands and feet, which produced a series of crackling sounds.

"Five thousand years..."

The Blood River Ancestor took a deep breath, a look of ecstasy on his face: "I have finally seen the light of day again."

Then.

His eerie eyes slowly fell upon Lu Xueyao, who was not far away.

The moment he saw Lu Xueyao, a hint of surprise flashed in the eyes of the Blood River Ancestor.

"what?"

"It's actually the Nine-Aperture Exquisite Sword Heart?"

He looked Lu Xueyao up and down as if she were a rare treasure, and exclaimed in amazement, "I never expected that as soon as I broke through the seal, the heavens would give me such a great gift."

"Little girl, you have good aptitude, even better than I was back then."

The Blood River Ancestor stood with his hands behind his back, adopting an unfathomable posture: "Kneel down and kowtow. I can make an exception and accept you as my closed-door disciple, pass on the supreme Blood Path to you, and help you reach the Void Refining stage in the future, or even the Integration stage."

In his view, this was already an immense blessing.

Looking across the entire Eastern Wilderness, who could refuse an invitation from a Void Refinement expert to become their disciple?

Faced with this terrifying pressure, Lu Xueyao's body trembled slightly, but her back remained straight, like a sharp sword that would rather break than bend.

She looked coldly at the Blood River Ancestor, her voice clear and firm: "I don't care."

"I have a master, and I will only worship one person in this life."

"We will never change our allegiance."

Upon hearing this, the smile on the face of the Blood River Ancestor froze slightly, and then a savage look appeared in his eyes.

"Master?"

"Hehehe, since that's the case, then I'll kill your master."

"Once your so-called master dies, you will naturally follow me wholeheartedly."

The Blood River Ancestor spoke in a chilling tone, as if killing a person was as simple as crushing a bug for him.

"Kill me?"

Just now.

A faint voice suddenly rang out in the void.

The sound wasn't loud, but it clearly reached the ears of everyone present, even overpowering the Blood River Ancestor's overwhelming blood energy.

"With your tattered body that's just been cobbled together, you think you're worthy?"

The words fell.

Suddenly, ripples appeared in the previously calm space.

A tall, slender figure walked step by step from the void, with his hands behind his back.

With each step he took, a visible ripple would spread across the void beneath his feet.

The newcomer was dressed in a green robe, with black hair like a waterfall, and eyes that shimmered with golden light, as if they could see through all the illusions of the world.

It was Lu Yuan.

With the help of his Insightful Golden Eyes returned from the system, he easily saw through all the nodes of the incomplete Four Symbols Sealing Heaven Array on the outskirts of the Fallen Demon Valley.

This powerful formation, which was strong enough to trap someone in the Void Refinement stage, was full of flaws in his eyes, as if he were in an empty field.

"Master!"

Upon seeing that familiar figure, Lu Xueyao's tense nerves instantly relaxed, and her eyes were filled with surprise.

Lu Yuan nodded slightly to her, then turned around and looked down at the Blood River Ancestor below.

That look in his eyes was almost too calm.

It's like looking at a dead person.

Stared at like that, Blood River Ancestor felt a nameless anger rise in his heart.

"Nascent Soul stage?"

The Blood River Ancestor narrowed his eyes, sensing the fluctuations in Lu Yuan's aura, and then let out an extremely grating laugh: "Hehehe, the younger generation these days is getting more and more arrogant."

"How dare you, a mere Nascent Soul cultivator, utter such arrogant words before me?"

"Boy, do you know how many Void Refinement stage cultivators perished at my hands five thousand years ago?"

"A total of twelve!"

"As for those at the Nascent Soul stage..." Blood River Ancestor revealed a cruel sneer on his face: "In my eyes, they are nothing more than ants that can be destroyed at will."

boom!

Before he could finish speaking...

The Blood River Ancestor's aura suddenly erupted.

A terrifying pressure belonging to the early stage of the Void Refinement realm swept out without reservation.

Although he had just recovered and his cultivation was far from returning to its peak, his body was reforged from countless essences and blood, and its strength far surpassed that of an ordinary early stage of Void Refinement.

The surrounding space, under this oppressive force, began to groan under its own weight, as if it were about to collapse at any moment.

"Die."

Without uttering any unnecessary words, the Blood River Ancestor simply raised his hand and pointed.

Whoosh!

His blood-red robe billowed violently behind him, as endless bloodthirsty energy gathered and condensed at his fingertips.

In an instant.

A blood-red spear, ten feet long, appeared out of thin air.

This spear is not a physical object, but is formed from the purest "Law of Blood". Strange runes flow over it, and countless wronged souls can be vaguely seen wailing within it.

"Blood God's Thorn!"

Blood River Ancestor let out a low shout.

Whoosh!

The crimson spear pierced through the void in an instant, carrying a terrifying aura of destruction, and shot towards Lu Yuan in mid-air.

Wherever the spear passed, space was torn open, leaving a dark rift and a bloodstain that would never heal.

This strike is enough to instantly kill a Nascent Soul stage cultivator. Even a Venerable in the late Nascent Soul stage would surely die without the protection of a powerful magic weapon.

Bai Miaozhen and the others watched this earth-shattering attack, their hearts nearly stopping, their eyes filled with despair.

Is this the power of the Refining Void Realm?

There's simply no way to resist!

however.

Faced with this deadly attack, Lu Yuan's expression didn't change at all.

He simply raised his right hand slowly, extended his index finger, and gently tapped it against the oncoming crimson spear.

"Certainly."

He uttered a single word.

hum!

An invisible wave spread out instantly from his fingertips.

Spatial Laws, Three Transformations!

The next moment, a shocking scene unfolded.

The blood-red spear, carrying a destructive force and seemingly capable of piercing the heavens and earth, stopped abruptly three inches from Lu Yuan's brow.

No matter how much the blood-red spear trembled and unleashed its overwhelming crimson light, it could not advance even an inch further.

The space around it seemed to transform into indestructible divine iron at that moment.

"How is that possible!"

The Blood River Ancestor below froze on his face, his previously mocking and cruel expression instantly turning into a blank.

His eerie eyes widened suddenly, staring intently at the void at Lu Yuan's fingertips, his voice trembling with disbelief.

"Spatial laws?"

"And... it's the Third Transformation Space Law, capable of imprisoning my own Law attacks?"

This kid is clearly only at the Nascent Soul stage.

How could someone possibly possess such profound spatial mastery?

Lu Yuan waved his hand casually.

Click!

The crimson spear, which had been suspended in mid-air, was instantly covered in cracks before it shattered with a deafening roar, turning into a shower of blood that vanished into nothingness.

He stood with his hands behind his back, his robes fluttering, looking at the astonished Blood River Ancestor, a faint mockery curling at the corner of his mouth.

"Ancient relics from five thousand years ago should just rot in the ground."

"Now that you're out, make the most of your remaining strength and hand over your essence."
