Dao Blood!

This is something the Blood Race can only condense when their bloodline reaches a certain level of refinement.

Not all members of the Blood Race can condense it; only those with saintliness reaching a certain concentration can do so. Without sufficient concentration of saintliness, even if cultivation and bloodline are adequate, it cannot be condensed.

Even in Lu Ye's current state, he only barely meets the requirements to condense this drop of Dao Blood.

And this is the one and only drop of Dao Blood, which means that after this, Lu Ye will no longer be able to condense a second drop.

Compared to the treasure blood from before, Dao Blood is undoubtedly much more precious. In fact, according to the information Lu Ye obtained from the bloodline heritage, the value of Dao Blood indeed greatly surpasses treasure blood.

It has many incredible uses.

And its greatest use is to nurture a Blood Slave of one's own; this Blood Slave will perfectly inherit all one's potential, and might even be stronger.

In the stellar space, Lu Ye did use treasure blood to win over a group of Blood Servants led by Ma Shangsi, who are all loyal to him. However, the choice of Blood Servants is narrowly constrained: they must first be from the Blood Race, and secondly, they must not possess saintliness.

Among the Blood Servants under Lu Ye's command, only Xiang Yin and Xuan Yu, the two sisters, are not from the Blood Race, but are of the Snow Race. However, because their aura was permeated by the Illusory Blood Devil's Eye Marvel during their confinement, strictly speaking, though they are not of Blood Race origin, they can be considered the first generation of the Blood Race. If they bear offspring, it would be of the Blood Race.

This is the reason why the two could be taken as Blood Servants by Lu Ye.

But when Dao Blood is used to nurture Blood Slaves, there are no such restrictions.

Any living being can become the target for nurturing a Blood Slave!

Once successfully nurtured, the Blood Slave will be unwaveringly loyal to Lu Ye, with no duplicity, because in some sense, the Blood Slave can also be seen as a unique form of doppelganger, called Dao Body!

Comparatively, the loyalty Ma Shangsi and other Blood Servants have towards Lu Ye is profound, but it is not unbreakable. If a Blood Race with stronger saintliness than Lu Ye employs some special methods, they can sever the loyalty and reliance of these Blood Servants.

But Blood Slaves won't; no matter the circumstances, their loyalty remains eternal.

For a Blood Slave is one's doppelganger; in this world, when would a doppelganger be disloyal to its original?

This doppelganger, however, is different from any conventional doppelganger, possessing its own independent thoughts, like an autonomous living being. It can cultivate, grow, and become stronger on its own, having no direct connection with the original. Injury or death won't affect the Dao Body in the slightest, nor will the original impact the Dao Body.

At the extreme end, even if one day Lu Ye meets a tragic end, the Dao Body will remain unaffected and continue existing well.

There are two ways to nurture a Blood Slave.

Lu Ye is now attempting one of them!

He is extremely curious about this, for if it succeeds, it would mean an additional helper by his side, which would be greatly beneficial for the upcoming battles.

His gaze shifted towards the Winged Race, and he commanded, "Open your mouth!"

The Winged Race stared at the gem-like golden drop of blood on Lu Ye's fingertip, fully aware of what was about to befall him, and couldn't help but swallow hard.

The earlier resistance had made him realize the disparity between them; facing Lu Ye's dominance now, he was utterly powerless to refuse.

However, he still braced himself and asked, "Fellow Daoist, what is this?"

Lu Ye maintained a calm demeanor: "You don't need to know what it is, but it's your hope for survival. You can take a gamble; if successful, you'll be my companion!"

He didn't mention the consequences of failure, but the Winged Race understood them clearly.

Feeling unlucky for being chosen first among the captured three, he thought if the human race had picked the other two, he might have been able to observe the situation more.

When under the eaves, one must bow.

Feeling defeat and resignation, the Winged Race opened his mouth unwillingly.

With a flick of Lu Ye's finger, the Dao Blood accurately dropped into the Winged Race's mouth.

In the next instant, the Winged Race hurriedly prompted his Dao force inwardly.

Whatever it was, it couldn't be anything good. The human race had injured them but hadn't restricted their powers, so he could still utilize his own forces.

In a flash, his face changed color, for the drop of Dao Blood melted rapidly in his mouth and streamed throughout his body, regardless of how he urged his Dao force, to no avail.

The next moment, his vision turned red, and his body was wracked with indescribable pain, as though countless large hands were tearing at his flesh. His eyes widened, letting out a tragic scream, and he involuntarily sat cross-legged with a surge of Dao force in an attempt to relieve his agony.

Strangely enough, it was futile!

The Demon Race member and the female cultivator watched in trembling fear, witnessing the Winged Race's skin quickly turning fiery red, akin to a boiled shrimp. Not only that, the sound of bones cracking resonated from within his body, densely packed, yet somehow causing his body to stretch taller, becoming much more thin and long.

And his two ears began to twitch, gradually showing signs of growing slender...

Lu Ye observed more carefully than the Demon Race and the female cultivator.

He could see clearly that under the influence of his Dao Blood, this member of the Winged Race actually had the tendency to transform into the Blood Race!

It wasn't surprising, after all, Dao Blood originated from the bloodline inheritance of the Blood Race. Under the influence of Dao Blood, any chosen creature would eventually slowly become part of the Blood Race.

What he didn't expect was the power of the Dao Blood to be so great. This member of the Winged Race, after all, was a 6th Order Dao Fusion, yet had no resistance to the erosion of the Dao Blood and began to transform at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The features of the Blood Race on the Winged Race's body became more and more pronounced. Just as Lu Ye was secretly anticipating, the Winged Race suddenly let out a low groan of distress and opened eyes filled with blood-red color.

With a loud bang...

The Winged Race's entire body exploded, directly transforming into a mist of blood, disappearing on the spot.

Lu Ye frowned.

Indeed, creating a Dao Body was not such an easy task, not every creature is suitable to become a Dao Body. Based on the information obtained from the bloodline inheritance, using this method to create a Dao Body has a very low success rate unless one is particularly lucky to encounter a creature particularly compatible with the Dao Blood. This compatibility has nothing to do with race, age, or cultivation; there is fundamentally no standard to choose by, it's entirely left to chance.

Lu Ye hadn't really expected success from the beginning.

He only wanted to give it a try.

The Winged Race perished, leaving no trace of the body, yet the storage ring and the Dao soldier disappeared mysteriously. According to Lu Ye's understanding, they were "reclaimed." This was the case when he previously killed enemies; both their bodies and possessions were "reclaimed," with only a single Star Abyss coin left behind!

However, this time, besides leaving behind a Star Abyss coin after the death of the Winged Race, there was also a mass of golden mist. After a moment of twisting and condensing, it reshaped into the Dao Blood resembling a golden gemstone, without any loss compared to before.

"Gulp..." A sound of swallowing came from besides, made by the remaining two onlookers who had witnessed the death of the Winged Race, each with a look of extreme terror.

They all knew being captured by Lu Ye was not a good thing, yet they hadn't expected it to be like this.

"Next!" Lu Ye looked up towards the two of them.

The faces of the Demon Race and the female cultivator changed. In the next instant, the Demon Race burst forth, charging at him with his injured body: "I'd rather die!"

In the end, there isn't a good outcome; he would rather have a quick death than follow in the Winged Race's footsteps and endure such painful torment before dying.

However, such resistance was ultimately meaningless; after three breaths, he was caught by Lu Ye, who forced his mouth open and sent the Dao Blood inside!

Thrown to the side, the Demon Race immediately began trying to dig it out from his throat, but it was already too late.

Soon after, he met the same fate as the Winged Race from before, only his compatibility with the Dao Blood seemed even lower, so he persisted for only half the time of the Winged Race!

The Demon Race followed the footsteps of the Winged Race, leaving behind a Star Abyss coin and that golden mist.

Lu Ye looked once again at the female cultivator, and the moment his gaze fell upon her, she unexpectedly fell to her knees with a thud, eyes filled with desperate pleading: "I am willing to become your servant, Fellow Daoist, to obey your every command from now on, just spare my life!"

After speaking, she knocked her head to the ground to show submission.

Lu Ye quietly stared at her, eventually letting out a sigh.

He didn't know where this woman came from, whose daughter she was, or whose Dao companion or mother.

There had been no enmity...

But the brutal struggle of the Star Abyss Heir offered no choice for any selected cultivator, and in such an environment, mercy was ultimately just a wishful thought.

He stepped toward the female cultivator. The form kneeling on the ground began to tremble; she did not know what fate awaited her.

Standing before her, Lu Ye's hand, which had already gripped the sword hilt, exerted a bit more force. The blade flashed, and when the long knife was sheathed, the female cultivator was already fallen in a pool of blood.

The white light of the Star Abyss Blessing descended, and Lu Ye raised his hand to reclaim the Dao Blood.

There was no need to continue these attempts anymore, as success seemed impossible. It appeared he would have to take the second approach to cultivate his own Dao Body.

This task could not be completed here; it had to wait until he finished this brutal contest and found a stable environment.

Before that, he had to kill as many cultivators in this stellar space fragment as possible to obtain more Star Abyss coins.

Even though his strength had vastly improved, Lu Ye did not consider himself invincible. Apart from anything else, there were more than a hundred Peak Dao Fusion cultivators who appeared on the Baiyu Platform earlier, all strong enemies.

His two hundred forty Dao forces were still somewhat inferior to theirs.

Not just the Peak Dao Fusion, but also those 8th-9th Order Dao Fusion cultivators—no one could assure they didn't have any trump cards.

Moreover, the Star Abyss coins could be exchanged for various exotic treasures, and these were the entities to be especially guarded against. He had observed that these exotic treasures, when used well, could often turn the tide of battle!
