What I teach you is real stuff.

"The creatures of the outer world are indeed powerful. No wonder they once challenged the immortals of the upper realm. The physical strength of the nameless monster in this blood lake is probably no weaker than some true immortals in the immortal realm."

With Lu Yuan's current strength, an ordinary immortal would not be able to withstand a single True Dragon Fist. The fact that this Blood Lake creature could take a punch proves that it is exceptionally strong.

The life force of the other creatures in the Blood Lake is no weaker than that of the one just now, which means that the blood-colored creatures at the bottom of this Blood Lake are basically monsters of the True Immortal level.

Lu Yuan channeled his dragon energy into his palm, gazing at the blood-red monsters.

"It seems that unless I clean these things up, I won't be able to get my hands on these blood-red crystal pots at the bottom of the lake so easily today."

These blood-red crystal goblets are incredibly hard, and getting them down will inevitably require some effort. Since these goblets are essential materials for crafting puppets, he needs a lot of time to mine them.

With these blood-red creatures causing trouble, Lu Yuan and his companions couldn't dig in peace, so they had to get rid of them.

Lu Yuan immediately took action.

The sooner we clean up, the sooner we can focus on mining pot crystals.

He stood alone in front of the group of creatures from the crimson lake bottom outside the realm. Lu Yuan said, "I'll give you a choice. If you don't want to die, you can leave now. If you insist on disturbing my mining of crystal pots, then don't blame me for showing no mercy."

Lu Yuan spoke the language of the Azure Sky World. He wasn't sure if these extraterrestrial beings could understand his language, but whether they could understand it or not was none of his business.

Anyway, he had given them a choice. These blood-red creatures were obviously physically strong but not very intelligent. They couldn't understand Lu Yuan's words at all, and they didn't even think.

They clearly only knew that Lu Yuan, an outsider, had trespassed into their territory and was mining their resources. Moreover, this person had just injured one of their companions, and now he was not only not retreating but also showing signs of provocation.

These enormous blood lake creatures roared angrily and charged towards Lu Yuan, intending to tear him apart.

"Low-intelligence creatures..."

Lu Yuan had a headache.

What troubles him most are these low-intelligence, brute creatures. When they encounter smarter creatures, they know they can't beat them and they'll turn around and run away, saving Lu Yuan some effort.

But these low-level creatures are the most troublesome. To say they are weak is an understatement; their physical strength is terrifying, comparable to that of a true immortal.

Although Lu Yuan's punch had knocked one of them back, he knew he hadn't inflicted any fatal damage, not even serious injury; he had only stunned it.

These guys are annoying if they only know how to attack and not how to retreat; it takes a lot of effort to deal with them.

However, these creatures had already pounced on him, and he had no choice but to deal with them. Lu Yuan had no choice but to fight back.

In an instant, the battlefield at the bottom of the Blood Lake opened.

Lu Yuan raised his hand and unleashed a barrage of divine abilities from numerous ancestral beasts.

Ancestral Phoenix Claw, Thunder Ancestor Fist, True Dragon Fist, Destruction Claw.

The battle with these blood-red behemoths stirred up the blood at the bottom of the lake, causing it to boil endlessly.

Xiao Huang and Jiang Ming also came to help, and the three of them quickly took down these blood-red behemoths. Lu Yuan used the Ancestral Dragon Technique: Destruction Claw to finish off the last behemoth at the bottom of the lake, and the battle came to an end.

"Finally finished cleaning up. The power of the extraterrestrial world is indeed formidable. There are beings comparable to true immortals at the bottom of an unknown blood lake. This place is indeed not suitable for us to stay for long. Let's quickly collect the crystals and leave to avoid any unforeseen complications."

Lu Yuan transmitted his voice to Xiao Huang and Jiang Ming.

Although they dealt with the group of giant beasts from the bottom of the lake, it wasn't an easy task.

After all, they are True Immortals. Xiao Huang and Jiang Ming do not yet have the ability to directly fight against True Immortals. In the battle just now, they were only assisting from the sidelines.

When Lu Yuan fought these giant beasts at the bottom of the lake, he found that they were tough and difficult to kill. Even the Ancestral Beast Technique was not enough to kill them directly. It took some effort to deal with each giant beast.

He didn't want to cause any unnecessary trouble; he just wanted to collect the crystals quickly and leave.

But when Lu Yuan and his two companions turned to collect the crystals, they didn't notice that the several enormous, blood-red lake creatures they had just dealt with were now active again.

The horrifying injuries on the blood-red creature, inflicted by Lu Yuan, seemed to be slowly healing under the influence of some kind of power.

Lu Yuan seemed to sense something, frowned, and turned his head.

"strangeness……"

With his level of strength, no clue could escape his perception. He had clearly killed all those huge lake creatures, but why did they seem to be recovering?
Resurrected?
Lu Yuan's expression turned serious; things were starting to get interesting.

This otherworld is really interesting. How could the creatures from the bottom of the blood-red lake, which were killed, be resurrected so quickly?

Although there are many methods and great supernatural powers in the Azure Heaven World and the Immortal Realm that can bring the dead back to life, such as the Nine Deaths Shock Transformation cultivated by the Golden Horn King, which allows him to be reborn and resurrected.

However, even the most powerful resurrection methods can hardly achieve instant resurrection. Moreover, it should be noted that Lu Yuan not only destroyed their physical bodies, but also their souls.

If the soul is completely torn apart, even the most terrifying supernatural power could not possibly revive a person.

Of course, the world is full of wonders, and even if such supernatural powers exist, it is impossible for so many blood-red behemoths to possess them.

This blood lake is strange!
Lu Yuan transmitted his voice to Xiao Huang and Jiang Ming, telling them to be careful. This Blood Lake was not as simple as they had imagined. There might be more than just these blood-colored creatures; there might be an even more terrifying entity manipulating everything in the shadows.

Soon, under Lu Yuan's watchful gaze, all the blood-red creatures that had just died were resurrected, and the fatal wounds that Lu Yuan had just inflicted on them were completely healed.

The damage caused by the Ancestral Beast Technique can be healed so quickly; it's a truly terrifying recovery ability.

The crimson behemoth seemed to still retain the memory of being killed by Lu Yuan, and now it was filled with resentment, roaring once again as it charged towards Lu Yuan.

Again!
Faced with the relentless battle between these blood-red creatures, Lu Yuan was naturally helpless; he now only had two paths to take.

The first option is to give up collecting the crystals and leave the Blood Lake. In this way, the creatures at the bottom of the lake might stop attacking them.

Of course, this is impossible, because Lu Yuan came here to collect materials for refining the puppets of the Heavenly Demon City, and he would not give up collecting the pot crystals.

Then the only option is to fight to the bitter end.

He didn't believe these blood-red creatures could keep resurrecting; he'd see who could outlast whom! He was determined to get his hands on the crystal pot.

Lu Yuan went all out in the battle. This time, he drew the Great Luo Sword and used the Time Sword Dao to powerfully slay the crimson behemoth.

In the land of Blood Lake, sword energy crisscrossed, stirring up the Blood Lake and causing it to turn upside down, with sword light gushing out.

One after another, the blood-red behemoths were killed by Lu Yuan.

This time, to prevent them from reviving, Lu Yuan used his sword energy to slice through all the crimson beasts, even shattering their heads.

"Now they should be dead, right?"

Not only were their souls annihilated, but their physical bodies were also shredded.

But the next second, something shocking happened again to Lu Yuan, Xiao Huang, and Jiang Ming.

The crimson behemoth, which Lu Yuan had just annihilated, was resurrected. Its shattered remains were pieced together, resembling building blocks, and the behemoth was reassembled once more. That strange, inexplicable power had brought the crimson behemoth back to life, and these resurrected creatures had regained their souls.

"Roar!" The roar of the Heaven-Shaking Beast came again, and the blood plasma in the Blood Lake was shaken.

The third time!

Even Lu Yuan felt a chill run down his spine.

He knew that the extraterrestrial realms were strange and could not be explained by the usual theories of the Azure Heaven World or the Immortal Realm, but this Blood Lake biological plane was too outrageous.

What kind of beings are they? Their physical bodies are comparable to those of true immortals, yet their intelligence is so low, as if they are just puppets who only know how to fight.

It clearly has a soul, but after the soul is destroyed, it can be resurrected, and the resurrected body instantly has a new soul.

How did they even manage that? It defies common sense!
Even in the outer realms, such an outrageous thing shouldn't happen. How could the Great Dao allow such a creature to exist?

Xiao Huang and Jiang Ming were also shocked.

They had never seen such a bizarre creature in all their years of cultivation.

"Teacher, could it be that this creature contains countless souls? Or that its soul is immortal?"

Lu Yuan shook his head: "No living being's soul is immortal. If it were, it would definitely not be just a True Immortal-level being, and its intelligence would be so low. There must be other reasons."

Immortal?

That's impossible. The idea of ​​the primordial spirit achieving immortality is on a completely different level from the idea of ​​the physical body achieving immortality.

It's too easy for the physical body to achieve immortality; all it needs to do is regenerate continuously. Regenerating from a drop of blood can be considered immortality.

Once one's cultivation reaches the Tribulation Transcending stage, one can basically achieve rebirth from a drop of blood, not to mention the physical body of an immortal. The lifespan of an immortal's physical body is even longer, and rebirth from a drop of blood is merely the foundation.

Relatively speaking, it is easier for the physical body to achieve immortality, but it is different for the primordial spirit.

The physical bodies of immortals are mostly difficult to kill; the only way to kill an immortal is to destroy their primordial spirit.

Once one's cultivation level increases, the primordial spirit becomes the only weakness. Everyone is working on improving their primordial spirit, but achieving immortality for it is extremely difficult.

One thing that is universally acknowledged in the immortal realm is that the primordial spirit is immortal and indestructible; that is true immortality.

However, those who can achieve immortality of their primordial spirit are almost all beings at the level of Great Luo Golden Immortal or above, which is impossible for these few low-intelligence creatures at the bottom of the blood lake.

There must be other reasons for this.

"The rules of the outer world are completely different from those of the immortal realm. We cannot judge them by common sense. I have heard that the rules of heaven and earth in this world are also very different from those of the Three Thousand Worlds. So where exactly is the problem?"

Lu Yuan knew there was something strange about this place, but he just couldn't figure out what the problem was.

However, he cannot take the crystal pot without dealing with these blood lake creatures.

The crimson creatures charged forward again, and Lu Yuan had no time to think. He needed to deal with them one more time.

He didn't believe that something could resurrect indefinitely and continuously reshape souls, since it could only do so once. He reasoned that it would eventually be exhausted.

Meanwhile, as the other party revived, Lu Yuan was also observing. No matter how strange the rules of this extraterrestrial realm were, he could always find clues.

This time, Lu Yuan used both the Great Luo Sword and the Gengjin Flying Sword. After several exchanges, he gained a better understanding of the physical structure of these Blood Lake creatures and their weaknesses.

The Gengjin Flying Sword was incredibly sharp, and after several exchanges, it had become much easier to kill these blood-red creatures with it than before.

Within fifty moves this time, Lu Yuan once again slew these blood-red creatures with his sword.

Moreover, this time the killing was even more thorough. Not only was the corpse shredded into pieces, but the corpse fragments were also burned into nothingness by the fusion fire.

"Now that the corpse has been burned, let's see how you come back to life."

Lu Yuan stared into the void, and after a moment, something even stranger happened.

The once calm blood lake water seemed to begin to condense, solidifying before him and then forming flesh and blood, resurrecting the blood-red creatures.

Even without a physical body, one can be resurrected by the blood lake!

Jiang Ming gasped, "What the hell? So this is how these blood-red creatures came to be?"

Xiao Huang: "Doesn't that mean this entire blood lake is their physical body and their refuge?"

As Lu Yuan observed the blood-red creatures' bodies reviving, he seemed to realize something and said, "To be more precise, these blood-red creatures cannot be completely called independent life forms. Perhaps we misunderstood them from the beginning."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Huang and Jiang Ming both turned their attention to Lu Yuan.

"Teacher, what do you mean?"

Lu Yuan said, "As I said before, the rules of the outer world are different from ours, and many common sense things here may contradict our understanding."

We just saw those blood-red creatures and subconsciously regarded them as living beings, just like you and me, beings with individual souls.

But in reality, everything here is completely different from what we imagined; these blood-red creatures may not be living beings in the conventional sense.

Jiang Ming still didn't quite understand.

If it's not a living being, then what is this huge lump?
This thing has a nose and eyes, although its shape is bizarre and I've never seen anything like it before. But it has flesh and blood and a soul. How can you say it's not a living being? Then what is it?
Lu Yuan: "One in a billion, a clone, a cell, an organ, a powerful being."

Lu Yuan's words sent a chill down their spines, and their gazes toward the blood lake were now completely different.

Lu Yuan: "We all mistakenly thought this was a lake of blood, but now it seems that the entire lake of blood is a complete living being, and the blood-colored creatures that we just killed were just weak beings born within it."

Crushing their bodies and souls is utterly insignificant compared to this entire lake of blood.

In other words, this entire lake of blood is their real enemy; what they just killed were merely fleas and lice on the lake.

And this blood lake can endlessly generate countless identical beings from its body, because destroying several blood-colored creatures is of no harm to the blood lake itself.

Jiang Ming and the other man understood.

Immediately afterwards, they felt a chill run through their entire bodies.

The teacher meant that this entire blood lake was alive, and the blood-red creature was just a tiny part of the blood lake. No wonder the soul-annihilation couldn't kill it. How could plucking the hairs off a bull kill it?

If the strength of those crimson creatures is comparable to that of a True Immortal, then how strong must the Blood Lake be?

By entering this place, aren't they like lambs to the slaughter? (End of Chapter)
