The Seal, and What Was His Background?

Despite his anger, the Blood Devil Race Clan expert did not stop moving in the slightest.

Almost at the same instant the sword mark appeared, he unhesitatingly activated his life Essence Blood, using it as Essence Blood catalyst to unleash the Blood Devil Escape Technique. His entire body transformed into a streak of blood light, frantically fleeing backward.

But in the next instant, he was filled with despair as he discovered that he was surrounded by sword marks on all sides.

The pitch-black cracks surrounded him from every direction, leaving no gaps, Sword Intent intertwined like a net, not even a single opening.

There's nowhere to escape, nowhere to retreat!

The Blood Devil Race expert took a deep breath, forced to withdraw from the escape technique, and reverted to human form.

He turned around and looked at Lu Yang, who had emerged from the sword marks. A hint of frustration flashed in his eyes. He couldn't beat him in a fight, and he couldn't escape either... Helpless, he decided to have a conversation with him.

However, just as he was about to speak, he saw Lu Yang across from him clench his fist.

The sword marks surrounding them instantly contracted inward, unleashing a torrent of Sword Intent.

The Blood Devil Race expert didn't even have time to utter a scream before he was shredded into a cloud of blood mist, his soul shattered once more.

Silence returned to the dense forest, with only the faint humming sound of the sword marks fading echoing in the air.

Lu Yang didn't even glance at the dissipating blood mist. With a thought, he used the Search Module again.

This time, the Blood Devil Race Clan expert possessed a Foundation Establishment Realm Blood Devil Hall member.

After being possessed, its strength was only at the Late Golden Core.

Looking at the search results, Lu Yang couldn't help but smile.

It seems the more people die, the faster his strength declines.

Lu Yang even suspected that if he killed him again, the body might not be able to continue possessing him.

However... one's cultivation level at the Late Golden Core stage should be able to be controlled for a long time.

The Blood Devil Hall members he possessed this time were also in Yue Prefecture, no more than ten thousand miles away.

Lu Yang suspected that it might be because this Blood Devil Race expert had died too many times, resulting in severe damage to his soul, making him unable to possess others from a distance.

For Lu Yang, this was naturally much more convenient.

Lu Yang casually drew a sword mark and stepped into it.

After just one spatial teleportation, he reappeared in a cave abode deep within a mountain range.

The cave abode was small, with rough walls and a few low-level cultivator tools scattered in the corner, clearly indicating that it was a temporary dwelling.

There was no one else around, only a young man sitting cross-legged in the very center.

The man appeared to be around twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, with rather handsome features. He wore a dark gray monk's robe with several inconspicuous dark patterns embroidered on the cuffs.

However, at this moment, his pupils were blood red, cold and devoid of any human emotion.

Clearly, this body had already been completely taken over by a powerful member of the Blood Devil Race Clan.

To Lu Yang's surprise, this time, the Blood Devil Race expert didn't even make a move to flee.

Looking at Lu Yang emerging from the sword wound, a hint of surprise and uncertainty flashed in his eyes, and his voice was somewhat hoarse as he said, "... You were able to find my location!"

His tone was very certain.

After all, the first time was one thing, the second time could be attributed to bad luck, but the third time... there was no one around, and he was caught up as soon as he was possessed.

This absolutely cannot be explained by luck.

Clearly, this human monster possesses special abilities that allow it to locate him!

Lu Yang smiled slightly, his tone slightly teasing. "I can indeed detect it. Is there a problem?"

The young, powerful Blood Devil Race's lips twitched, a ferocious glint flashing in his eyes as he stared intently at Lu Yang: "My true form is at the Void Refinement Realm, and my origin is located in another plane. With your Spirit Transformation Realm cultivation, even if you possess the method of divination, you shouldn't be able to deduce my location. You possess a supreme treasure for divination?! How could a small plane like the Canglan Realm possibly have a treasure of this level?! Who exactly are you?"

Lu Yang raised an eyebrow and chuckled, "I'm not telling you."

Blood Devil Race expert. "..."

His lips twitched again. He took a deep breath, suppressing the anger and resentment welling up inside him. A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he spoke, "I know even if you don't say it, you're a prodigy from the human race of the Spirit Realm, aren't you? The human race of the Spirit Realm is really generous, sending a genius like you to such a small plane to carry out a mission. They really don't cherish their talents... Why don't you join my Blood Devil Race? With your talent, you're sure to be valued in the Blood Devil Race!"

A strange feeling arose in Lu Yang's heart.

This guy... is actually trying to turn him against him?

He said with a half-smile, "Didn't you want to eat me? If I join your Blood Devil Race, wouldn't that be like delivering myself right to your door?"

The Blood Devil Race expert chuckled, his attitude appearing quite frank. "That's right, I do indeed want to devour you. Your origin is quite wondrous; if I were to devour you, I might have a chance to break through to the Integrated Body Realm. However... if you were a genius of my Blood Devil Race, then the situation would be different. We Blood Devil Race cherish geniuses quite a bit. You don't need to worry about the Blood Devil Race Clan assigning you to missions in minor planes. How about it?"

Lu Yang smiled slightly, "Not very good."

The Blood Devil Race Clan expert's expression froze, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

He then sneered, "You'll regret it if you don't listen to reason! Even if you have unparalleled talent and astonishing strength, you're still just a Spirit Transformation Realm cultivator. The Blood Devil Race Clan is full of powerful individuals; there are plenty of people who can deal with you! As for this wisp of my soul, even if you destroy it, it won't affect me much. Do you really intend to threaten me with this wisp of my soul?"

After listening quietly to the Blood Devil Race expert's words, Lu Yang smiled and said, "No, I just wanted to see if I could get some information from you."

As he spoke, golden light flowed around the Blood Devil Race Clan expert, and delicate golden threads, like swimming fish, burrowed into his body, instantly completing the seal.

This Blood Devil Race expert was currently only at the Golden Core Realm, and he had no time to react when facing Lu Yang, who was at the Spirit Transformation Perfection.

To be honest, even if he realized what was happening, he would be powerless to resist.

The difference between the Golden Core Realm and the Spirit Transformation Realm is like heaven and earth, let alone for someone like Lu Yang who is at the Spirit Transformation Realm.

As the golden light entered his body, the Blood Devil Race expert's soul, Spiritual Qi, and physical body were all sealed.

He can only move his eyes slightly; he can't even open his mouth.

Lu Yang had no choice, since the cultivation he had increased using the [Power of Money] was about to dissipate.

He can't maintain the Power of Money forever; the best way is to completely deprive him of his ability to resist.

Once he brings this guy back to the Golden Rainbow Sword Sect, with the Nascent Soul Realm stage cultivators like Lin Xuanchen watching over him, he won't need to pay much attention to him anymore.

Even though this guy's soul comes from Blood Devil Race expert, and he only has the cultivation level of the Golden Core Realm, he still can't cause too much trouble in front of the Nascent Soul Realm cultivator.

With a thought, Lu Yang summoned the Blood Devil Race expert who had been completely sealed away, and he flew to Lu Yang's side.

He was about to draw a sword mark, tearing through space to escape.

Just then, the power within him receded like a tide.

His cultivation, which had reached the Spirit Transformation Perfection, plummeted to the Late Spirit Transformation in just a few breaths.

Then comes the Middle Spirit Transformation, the Early Spirit Transformation...

As his cultivation level dropped, Lu Yang suddenly felt a sense of emptiness.

Even though Lu Yang had experienced that feeling of diminishing power before, it still made him feel mentally shattered.

After a short while, Lu Yang's cultivation level dropped back to the Early-stage Foundation Establishment.

His face was slightly pale, and it took him a while to recover from the huge sense of loss of strength.

Although the Blood Devil Race powerhouse was sealed, it was still evident that Lu Yang's cultivation level had declined.

A look of confusion and bewilderment appeared in his only remaining movable eye.

How is that possible?

How could someone with Spirit Transformation Perfection level drop to the Early-stage Foundation Establishment in such a short time?

Then an unbelievable, absurd thought popped into his head.

This human... could he have originally only been at the Foundation Establishment Realm?

So how exactly did he manage to elevate his cultivation to the Spirit Transformation Perfection in such a short time?

Moreover, judging from his appearance, he doesn't seem to have experienced any major side effects?!

Despite the drop in cultivation level, he remained agile and his breathing was steady; there was not a trace of the backlash from the Secret Method.

Even the Blood Devil Race doesn't possess such Secret Method!

As far as he knew, there shouldn't be such Secret Method among the human race in the Spirit Realm either!

How did this guy... manage to do that?

What exactly is his background?
