Fighting Soul Clan Demoness

Chapter 758 'Eight Clans Return to One'

Passing through the jungle and following the scent of blood, Hun Ruoruo quickly found a patch of land covered in crimson blood.

"This is the Blood Pool?"

Hun Ruoruo bent down, picked up a clod of soil, and slowly rubbed it between her fingertips, feeling the moisture inside.

With her pure water battle qi's ability to perceive liquids, she almost effortlessly detected the blood qi contained within, which had clearly been precipitated over countless years.

However, even under these conditions, the blood in the soil remained moist and active, which shows just how terrifying the owner of this blood must have been in life.

"Miss, you may not know this, but this so-called Blood Pool was once indeed the size of a lake. Unfortunately, with the passage of time and the depletion of resources, it has long lost its former glory."

A rustling sound came from the woods. Looking in the direction of the sound, Soul Cliff had somehow followed and slowly stopped at the edge of the riverbed.

"You know?" Hun Ruoruo asked casually.

Hunya nodded and explained, "For the bloodline of my Soul Clan, there are two ways to advance: one is through natural growth as one ages, and the other is by plundering other bloodlines."

"Natural growth is something that all eight races share. However, once they reach a certain age, as their bloodline power reaches its limit, the rate at which their bloodline purity increases slows down infinitely, to the point where it becomes negligible."

"Plundering other bloodlines is an even simpler and more convenient way to advance one's bloodline. As long as one absorbs the clan energy contained in the other's blood, one can advance one's bloodline."

After saying that, Hunya shrugged and said helplessly, "Over time, coupled with the fact that madman committed atrocities in the Gu Realm and achieved divine status, the blood pool here has probably already been looted."

As everyone knows, before Hun Ruoruo revealed her identity, she did not live within the Hun Clan, but went to Zhongzhou for training. This was already an open secret.

Therefore, Hunya, knowing that the other party's understanding was shallow, did not intend to hide anything, but chose to reveal the rules in order to gain some goodwill.

Hun Ruoruo stood up, seemingly lost in thought, and said, "So, you mean that the blood pool here should have dried up by now?"

“Indeed, apart from the five innate blood pools in the core area, the other blood pools probably only contain some scattered bloodline remnants.” Hunya sighed, “All things considered, this year’s competition is likely to be even more brutal.”

"If that's the case, then what is it?" Hun Ruoruo casually pointed ahead.

"Ok?"

Upon hearing this, Hunya was taken aback at first, then his soul power burst forth instantly, sweeping across the entire area around the dried-up blood pool.

As a third-class prodigy, Soul Cliff's soul realm, though far inferior to Soul Wind's, still reached the terrifying level of the late Spirit Realm, only a hair's breadth away from the Heaven Realm.

With his strength, detecting any unusual activity on the field would be an easy task for him.

However, the next moment, Hunya froze on the spot.

He was shocked to discover that his soul power probe was completely empty!
"There's no response?" Hunya frowned.

Given Hun Ruoruo's identity, there was no need for her to deceive him, so he simply abandoned the probe of soul power and focused his gaze forward—

"A blood beast?!"

Hunya suddenly lost his voice.

At the edge of their vision, a bizarre creature, its body soaked in blood as if a mixture of solid and liquid, was rapidly approaching. Its eyes were empty, yet burned with a ghostly blue flame, which was extremely eerie.

"Blood Beast?" Hun Ruoruo asked unhurriedly, "Is that its name?"

Soul Cliff's expression was solemn, but even more so, it was filled with surprise and doubt: "The so-called blood beasts are formless and godless. They are monsters that are split off after the fall of a Saint-level expert. Even soul power cannot detect them. This blood pool should have dried up long ago. Why would a blood beast be born here?"

Without a word, Hunya raised his hand and clenched it, and a uniquely shaped soft sword appeared in his palm. He pointed at the sword and controlled it, and a bright sword light flashed out, piercing straight for the blood beast's head.

"Swoosh!" In just one exchange, the soft sword had already plunged straight into the blood beast's body.

"Ho ho ho!!"

However, to Hun Ruoruo's surprise, after the soft sword pierced its body, the blood beast not only felt no pain, but became even more ferocious, its ghostly blue flames filled with extreme hatred and killing intent.

"Interesting, truly interesting." Hun Ruoruo chuckled. "This blood beast, being a wisp of spirit split from a Saint-level expert, is so vehemently hostile towards us. Perhaps it's not actually a manifestation of our Soul Clan predecessor?"

Hunya, writhing in pain during the fierce battle, had no time to ponder the other party's intentions and exclaimed, "Miss, are you just going to watch the show?"

Before the words were even finished, the blood beast roared and charged straight up against Soul Cliff's attack, its huge fluid body stretching out as if to swallow it whole.

"Damn it."

Upon seeing this, Hunya's expression changed slightly, and a shadow of gloom flashed in his eyes.

He knew that although these monsters had powerful and heavy attacks, they had no intelligence whatsoever and were extremely vulnerable in the face of soul power. Using soul fighting techniques was undoubtedly the simplest way to kill them.

However, in the world of Gu, even the slightest loss can sow the seeds of disaster!
Seeing the giant beast charging towards him, Hunya could no longer care about anything else. He threw his soft sword out of his hand, intending to use his soul fighting technique.

However, at that very moment, something unexpected happened!

A streak of eerie blue light had somehow passed through his body and landed lightly on the blood beast's head.

In an instant, the blood beast's movements stopped abruptly, and its blood-red body, which was over ten feet tall, suddenly burst into a deep, dark flame like ocean waves!
"Roar, ahhh!"

The blood beast roared to the sky, and under the scorching black and blue flames, it emitted a shrill cry that sounded just like a human's, causing the earth to tremble violently.

"This"

Looking at the scene before him, Hunya's pupils contracted, and he was unusually lost in thought.

His hand still held the sword, frozen in mid-air. The fighting technique brewing between his brows was ready to be unleashed at any moment, but the enemy had already vanished without a trace.

That blood beast actually...
actually
It evaporated.

In the blink of an eye, before even the Soul Cliff had landed, the colossal body of the blood beast slammed heavily onto the dried-up lakebed, turning into blood powder that had lost all its moisture and piled up into a small mountain.

The two fell silent for a moment.

Hun Ya stood there, speechless for a long time, while Hun Ruoruo slowly walked forward and picked up the remaining ghostly blue soul fire in the blood powder with great interest.

After all, the origin of this soul fire must be extraordinary to survive the scorching flames of the Void Sea.

"Swallow!" Hun Ruoruo commanded.

Under Hun Ruoruo's command, the Void Sea Spirit Flame slowly burned, beginning to erode and devour the spiritual consciousness within the Dark Blue Soul Flame.

As the ghostly blue soul flame gradually faded away, a series of mournful roars that transcended time and space suddenly resounded in Hun Ruoruo's heart.

"Kill, hatred, rage. A thousand years of decline, a clan on the verge of collapse!"

"Though I am unwilling, I cannot defy the will of Heaven."

The soul flame grew ever fainter, and human voices transformed into grotesque sounds. The voice he uttered with his last ounce of strength was bound within this mass of flesh and blood, a mournful howl echoing again and again, never to be released:
"The Xiao clan is gone, the ancient clans are inactive, and the eight clans may soon be united!"

"The eight clans must be united as one!!"
