Blood Race?
Ye Chen trembled. He had never heard of this name before.
Su Rouying seemed to have already predicted that Ye Chen would have such an expression, so she didn't mind it at all. She said, "The world we live in is incomparably vast. There are countless sects and powerful warriors. However, apart from humans, there are other natives, and the Blood Race is one of them."
"According to the records in the ancient books, millions of years ago, the human race wasn't the master of this world. There were many other races besides the human race. Between each race, there were strict bloodline boundaries, just like between humans and beasts."
"However, with the passage of time, calamities and battles occurred everywhere. More and more races began to be eliminated by history. They either declined, perished, or migrated. They were all different. However, the Human Race stubbornly survived. Until now, the entire world has been dominated by the Human Race."
After hearing this, Ye Chen was in disbelief.
He suddenly thought of Baguio. She was from the Dragonman Race. Could it be that she was also one of these races that had been forgotten by history?
Su Rouying continued, "As a descendant of the Blood Race, if I want to survive, I must obtain the Blood of Inheritance. Therefore, Elder Wan and I traveled to various countries to find the whereabouts of the Blood of Inheritance. The cave in the Coiling Dragon Mountain Range stored the Blood of Inheritance."
"No wonder you had such a reaction when you saw me go to get the Blood of Inheritance. It's because you already knew that that thing can only be touched by you Blood Race." Ye Chen came to a realization.
Su Rouying nodded. That was indeed the case.
"After consuming the Blood of Inheritance, it's equivalent to me having the initial activation of the Blood Race's bloodline. Dyeing my hair white is one of the characteristics."
Su Rouying looked at her own white hair and smiled sadly.
"What about the Heavenly Blood?
What is that? "Ye Chen thought of what the Su Family's Patriarch had said.
"The Blood Race is a race with a strict hierarchy. Consuming the Inherited Blood will allow you to activate your bloodline. However, you will not be able to start cultivating. As for the Heavenly Blood, it is an existence similar to advancement. After consuming it, I will be able to activate my bloodline completely and obtain the Inherited Memories of the Blood Race."
At this moment, Su Rouying took a deep breath. The red light in the depths of her eyes dissipated until her entire eyes were dyed a faint red color.
Just by looking into those eyes, Ye Chen felt as if his blood was about to freeze. Even his breathing became heavier. He organized his thoughts and asked again, "What about Elder Wan?
Where did he go? "
"Elder Wan is dead."
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire space suddenly became quiet, so quiet that it was somewhat eerie.
"Could it be Su Yang and the others?"
"No!"
Before he could finish, Su Rouying directly interrupted him. She pursed her lips and said word by word clearly, "It was I who killed Elder Wan."
"You?" Ye Chen felt his heart twitch. His eyes were filled with astonishment.
Su Rouying nodded. Her body was trembling, and her eyes were wet with tears. This made Ye Chen sigh. He pulled her into his embrace, patted her back, and comforted her, "It's okay, it's all in the past."
This way, Su Rouying cried even more. This was a knot in her heart. She usually suppressed it in her heart. Now that it was released, it was naturally difficult for her to hold back her bursting tears.
After a long while, Su Rouying stopped crying.
"The Blood Clan, even millions of years ago, was an extremely terrifying clan. They were known for their blood. If a member of the Blood Clan self-destructed, the blood in their body would turn into a blood disaster. It would cover an area of several hundred miles and turn it into a barren land."
"At that time, we had just arrived in Navy Tide Country. I couldn't control the blood disaster in my body for a moment and leaked a little. Elder Wan lost his life because of this. It was I who killed Elder Wan."
Looking at Su Rouying's painful expression, Ye Chen also felt endless emotions. He comforted her, "This isn't your fault. I believe that Elder Wan will understand your difficulties in the underworld."
"Yes."
Su Rouying nodded and forced a smile. However, Ye Chen knew that this knot in her heart wouldn't be so easily untied. He could only hope that with the passage of time, Su Rouying's heart would slowly fade away.
The two rested for a while. After Ye Chen slightly recovered from his injuries, they walked towards the depths of the palace.
This palace had a history of a hundred years. There were things related to the Su Family's Fort everywhere.
As the two moved, a light appeared in front of them. The further they went, the brighter the light became. Everything around them became incomparably clear.
At this moment, Ye Chen and Su Rouying walked into a passage. On both sides were walls carved with complicated patterns. As they moved forward, the walls became wider and wider, and the space became wider and wider.
"Be careful."
Ye Chen tightly held Su Rouying's jade-like hand. This made Su Rouying's heart beat wildly. She obediently followed behind him with a happy smile on her face.
After a while, Ye Chen and Su Rouying's gazes slightly narrowed. They looked forward with astonishment in their eyes.
In their field of vision was a lake. However, this lake was blood-red in color. The blood-like liquid was fiercely rolling about in the lake, as if it would never stop.
On the other side of the lake, it was brightly lit. There seemed to be a palace there. However, this palace was floating in the air, as if it was the residence of an immortal.
"A blood-red lake, a floating palace."
Ye Chen's eyes slightly narrowed. Following the line of sight, he discovered that in the middle of the blood-red lake, there was a fist-sized blood-red light that was slowly floating over.
Looking over, within the blood-red light, there seemed to be a drop of blood.
"Could that be the Heavenly Blood?"
Just as this thought appeared in his mind, a ferocious roar was heard.
The blood-red lake actually soared into the sky. A terrifying blood-red whirlpool wrapped around Ye Chen and Su Rouying's bodies. Then, in a barbaric manner, the two of them were pulled in.
All of this happened between lightning and fire. The two of them did not have the slightest time to react.
Ye Chen's face was shocked. He discovered that this blood-red lake seemed to have an astonishing corrosive power. The clothes on his body instantly turned into nothingness. The instant the lake water touched his body, there was a sizzling sound.
Dragon Soul Armor!
The golden armor covered his entire body. Just as Ye Chen was about to let out a sigh of relief, Su Rouying suddenly screamed. The blood-red whirlpool crazily pulled her body. Soon after, her white arm that was tightly holding onto Ye Chen finally lost its strength and slowly loosened.
"Rouying!"
Ye Chen's face sank. Just as he was about to step forward and pull Su Rouying, a powerful aura rushed out. A blurry figure appeared behind Su Rouying. It was actually a blood-red figure.
The blood-red figure stared at Ye Chen. That terrifying aura, even compared to the Su Family's Old Ancestor, was countless times stronger. Just this gaze alone made Ye Chen feel a piercing pain as if his body was about to explode.
"I never thought that the Sacred Clan's inheritance would fall into the hands of a human brat. This is truly a great irony."
Suddenly, an ancient voice came out from the blood-red figure's mouth.
Without waiting for Ye Chen to ask, the blood-red figure suddenly stretched out his hand and gently rolled up the blood-red whirlpool. Like throwing a sandbag, he threw Ye Chen out.
Pa!
His body crashed into the wall, causing Ye Chen to almost faint from the pain. He shook his head and discovered that he had actually arrived at the floating palace.
