Chapter 831: Chapter 816: The Essence of Divine Oddity, Blood Clan Loss!

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

This fist-sized ball of blood essence quickly fell into Xiao Chen’s hands, transforming in his palm into a crystal clear, bright red mass. This essence, originating from the perished Blood Clan, was especially lustrous and strangely lacked any foul stench or the cold darkness inherent to the Blood Clan.

It seemed to be the convergence of the most pure energy, and Xiao Chen even sensed from this energy a kind of indescribable aura, yet he found it elusive to articulate.

Buzz!

In an instant, this bright red essence disappeared from Xiao Chen’s hand, as he refined it into his body. Like the purest energy, the blood-colored power he absorbed quickly merged with the Combat Qi inside him.

It entered the Heavenly Meridians and blended into the Circulating Heaven Qi Sea without any barrier, as if before this essence melded with his body, it was already an energy emanating from within him.

Xiao Chen even noticed that this ball of blood-colored energy could not only merge with the Combat Qi to replenish what was expended, but also repair the injuries within his body. It was akin to Spirit Medicine. It was truly unexpected that it had such an effect.

Whew!

Exhaling a breath, Xiao Chen looked up at the sky where a sea of blood stretched over ten miles wide. To spawn such a sea of blood capable of hanging suspended in the Void, and even possessing such effects, one could not help but acknowledge the unfathomable vastness of this destiny’s will, altogether beyond any grasp of control.

Seeing Xiao Chen falling into contemplation, Yun Wei stood quietly aside. After a moment, Xiao Chen spoke, "Wei’er, draw some blood essence, and then follow your teacher." They then dashed as two shadows through the Void, rushing towards the Hundred Herbs Hall.

Hundred Herbs Hall!

In the central area of the Secret Realm, several volcanoes spewed flames ceaselessly. Along the terrain of the volcanoes, rows of Alchemy Rooms were constructed following the mountain’s contours, breaking through the barrier to the volcanic magma and channeling the Earth Fire into the Alchemy Rooms. At this moment, in these hundreds of Alchemy Rooms, Alchemists of the Gu Yuan Tribe were bustling with activity.

The entire tribe engaging in a fierce battle with the Blood Clan and the onset of conquest meant casualties and injuries were inevitable. Elixirs had thus become an extremely useful resource, whether it was for restoring Combat Qi or healing injuries, far stronger than the direct consumption of Spirit Medicine.

At this moment, these Alchemy Rooms were all crafting Healing Pills; whether it was Profound Essence Pills, Earth Elemental Pills, or even Heaven Element Pills, no more than five people in the entire Hundred Herbs Hall possessed the skills to craft them.

Within the whole Secret Realm Space, there was a hive of activity as numerous Tribe People continued to deliver medicinal herbs harvested from the fields into various Alchemy Rooms and retrieve the prepared Elixirs to hurriedly deliver them into the hands of the injured Warriors of the tribe.

In fact, in preparation for this great battle, the Gu Yuan Tribe had started stockpiling Elixirs three months prior, but no one had anticipated the severity of the conflict. Each Guardian Clan Soldier carried several blood-qi replenishing pills and wound-healing pills into battle.

However, after the ferocious and bloody combat, those supplies were all but exhausted, hence the Alchemists throughout the Hundred Herbs Hall had to busily engage once more.

"Chieftain." "Greetings, Chieftain!"

As Xiao Chen entered the Hundred Herbs Hall with Yun Wei, countless Warriors greeted them with salutes. Xiao Chen nonchalantly gestured with his hand and continued toward a Stone Hall with Yun Wei.

"Chieftain!"

Inside the Stone Hall, several maidens stood by to serve. At Xiao Chen’s signal, the young girls serving left the Great Hall.

In the center of the Great Hall was a stone bed, where Qiu Hu was lying, his body attacked by the poison of the Blood Clan and grievously injured; even though he had taken Healing Pills, he had yet to regain consciousness.

"Wei’er, infuse the blood essence drawn from the sea of blood into Elder Qiu’s body," instructed Xiao Chen.

Buzz!

Immediately, Yun Wei opened her palm, and a rosy haze swiftly entered Qiu Hu’s body, followed by a bloody light floating around his robust frame.

Xiao Chen’s spiritual sense closely monitored Qiu Hu’s condition. Qiu Hu had sustained serious injuries from a hit by a venerable member of the Blood Clan, and was further afflicted by their blood poison— an extremely cold and toxic substance.

Members of the Blood Clan subsist upon fresh blood, which has become an essential part of their being. The dense accumulation of blood turns colder within them, even leading to the production of a venom. This venom, refined from their blood, is used specifically against enemies in a most sinister manner. The poison afflicting Qiu Hu was concocted by a Blood Clan Ancestor over thousands of years, causing his entire body to be bone-chillingly cold to the point where even Healing Pills taken were hardly dissolvable.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

As the faint red halo around Qiu Hu flickered continuously, it merged into his body, even the slowly melting healing pills began to dissolve an overwhelming medicinal power, which started to integrate into his limbs and bones, into the Circulating Heaven Qi Sea, driving out the remnants of coldness left inside his body.

Xiao Chen’s eyes showed a hint of joy. Initially, seeing the blood Qi cluster so mystical, he had not expected it to truly be so effective. The blood poison in Qiu Hu’s body was not lethal, but it was extremely stubborn; however, it was subdued by this strange blood essence.

Soon, the chill on Qiu Hu’s body was only partially dispersed, the reason being that Yun Wei had channeled too little of this blood essence.

However, now that they knew the peculiarities of the blood essence, it was greatly beneficial for the Gu Yuan Tribe.

Void Floating Island.

Just as the Blood Clan Ancestor returned to the Floating Island wounded, Hun Shixin and all the remaining elders of the entire Blood Faint Noble Family were greatly shocked. Now that their family had lost nearly all of their nine hundred thousand elite War Soldiers, if their Ancestor, who sustained the clan, encountered any mishap, how could the Blood Faint Noble Family stand against the Gu Yuan Tribe? They might as well just offer their necks to be slaughtered.

"Ancestor, you’re wounded!"

Seeing the Blood Clan Ancestor wounded, Hun Shixin couldn’t help but feel his heart skip a beat, hurriedly calling out.

At this moment, the Blood Clan ancestor had lost his previous powerful aura, looking like a regular old man of the Blood Clan. His dry bat wings drooped down, with a burned-through hole visible to the bone.

The grave injuries suffered by the Blood Clan Ancestor immediately resulted in a deathly silence enveloping the entire Blood Palace. Now that the tribe had suffered heavy losses and their own Ancestor was severely wounded, they wouldn’t dare to provoke the family head and the Ancestor at this time.

"Shixin, can you tell your Ancestor, what is the origin of the Human War Tribe who waged this battle of destiny and blood sacrifice against our Blood Clan?" Without responding to the inquiries about his injuries, the Blood Clan Ancestor instead spoke out, asking Hun Shixin about the Gu Yuan Tribe.

"Ancestor, this Human Gu Yuan Tribe is just an emerging War Tribe on the frontier wilderness. However, their destiny is indeed very prosperous. It is said that in just over a decade, they have developed from an ordinary mid-grade War Tribe to their current state!"

Hun Shixin spoke out, not only was the Blood Clan Ancestor surprised, but even he and all the elders in the Great Hall were equally shocked. How could an ordinary Human War Tribe possess such a foundation to slaughter his Blood Faint Noble Family’s War Soldiers?

However, at this moment, the Blood Palace seemed much emptier than before, all due to the casualties of this battle. Not only had they lost hundreds of thousands of War Soldiers, but they had also lost more than ten of their venerated ones, who were on par with the human’s Towering Realm Sixth Heaven, and even included two Great Venerates of the Towering Realm Seventh Heaven.

Hearing Hun Shixin’s narration, the Blood Clan Ancestor’s expression grew dark and uncertain. This was beyond imagination—a tribe established for barely ten years possessing such strength to even overpower the Blood Faint Noble Family.

Soon, a figure entered the Great Hall, bowing to Hun Shixin and said, "Family head, the losses of the clan have been completely tallied up!"

"Speak!"

However, upon hearing Hun Shixin’s words, the Blood Clan elder hesitated, but in the next moment, he was scolded by an angry Hun Shixin who had nowhere to vent his fury.

"Speak now! Our Blood Faint Noble Family has a legacy of tens of thousands of years, a deep-rooted foundation. Even the human’s Gu Yuan Tribe is not enough to shake the foundation of our kingly descendants!"

"Yes, family head!" the elder replied, startled into trembling.

"Of the three great Clan Guards of our Blood Faint Noble Family, totaling nine hundred thousand Guardian War Masters, only forty-six thousand have returned from this crushing defeat, nearly all bearing injuries of different severities, and their courage has almost been completely shattered by the humans."

"Apart from the Blood Spear Guard Captain Hun Shu, the remaining Blood Faint Guard and Blood Robe Guard captains have all fallen at the hands of humans."

"In addition, we have lost one hundred and sixty-three commanders!"

"Of our Blood Faint Noble Family’s nine Void Warships, only one returned to the tribe, the rest were destroyed by the combined forces of the humans’ Void Battleships’ firepower and their Battle Array Masters!"

What!

Boom!

In an instant, there was a surge of violent aura throughout the Great Hall, followed by an extremely vicious voice roared out with endless murderous intent.

"Xiao Chen, I will kill you!"
