Just a moment later, corpses were lying on the ground, which was dyed red with blood.

Lu Ye was seated on the throne that belonged to the Paradise Master of this Paradise and fiddled with the Holy Blood Jade given to him by Lan Qiyue while Yu Lingfeng respectfully stood there and trembled.

Considering the powers of Lu Ye and Dao Thirteen, it wasn’t difficult for them to kill these Blood Race members, but it wouldn’t be that easy either. After all, they were Real Lake Realm Masters. When they were in danger, they would do their best to resist.

Things were different with the help of Holy Blood Jade. When Lu Ye fished out the jade, all the Blood Race members at the scene became rooted to the spot as though they had been struck by lightning. Lu Ye and Dao Thirteen flared up and slaughtered these Blood Race members.

Only the Paradise Master was still alive. Presently, he knelt in front of Lu Ye as Dao Thirteen had subdued him.

Lu Ye lifted a hand and pressed it against the Paradise Master’s forehead before activating his Divine Ego.

A moment later, Dao Thirteen released him, and Lu Ye kept the Holy Blood Jade. The Paradise Master, who had been planted with Soul Control, respectfully rose to his feet.

Lu Ye gave him some orders before leaving with Dao Thirteen and Yu Lingfeng.

He didn’t kill the Paradise Master not because he was magnanimous. He needed him to stay alive to continue ruling over the Paradise so that the Humans in his territory would be protected.

As they went South, Lu Ye would do the same thing every time he passed by a Paradise. He would kill the Blood Race members and take their Blood Crystals. Then, he would plant Soul Control into the minds of those Paradise Masters.

If it was achievable, Lu Ye would want to control the minds of those Blood Race members in the Divine Ocean Realm.

In Blood Refinement Boundary, the dwellings of the Blood Race were divided into three levels. Cave Mansions were the lowest and controlled by Cloud River Realm Masters. Paradises were in the middle and managed by Real Lake Realm Masters. Cave Heavens were the best and ruled by Divine Ocean Realm Masters.

The rulers were respectively called Cave Masters, Paradise Masters, and Heavenly Lords.

If Lu Ye could control a Heavenly Lord, it would be much more useful than only enslaving a Paradise Master.

However, even with Holy Blood Jade in possession, Lu Ye wouldn’t dare to barge into Cave Heavens managed by Divine Ocean Realm Masters. After all, there were too many uncertainties. It wasn’t easy to enslave Divine Ocean Realm Masters. He was merely lucky when he managed to plant Soul Control in Dao Thirteen’s Divine Soul.

At that time, Dao Thirteen had lost consciousness, and Lu Ye had used the Sword of Divine Destruction to shatter his Soul Power Shield. That was how he succeeded.

Therefore, even though Lu Ye knew the benefits of enslaving a Heavenly Lord, he wouldn’t do it on a whim.

As they went further South, Lu Ye would enslave all the Paradise Masters he came across with Soul Control and gave them some orders.

One day, they landed on an extremely high mountain. The wind was so chilly that they felt cold all over their bodies.

Clouds were floating around them. The sight was so breathtaking that it was as though they were no longer living in a mortal world.

Sky Propping Peak was one of the two highest mountains in Blood Refinement Boundary. It was highlighted on the map given to him by Lan Qiyue.

The other was Jade Pillar Peak. It was said that the two mountains were of the same height. Moreover, if one looked at them from the sky, he would see that both of them were semicircular. Their symmetry looked unusual on the map.

Lu Ye had no idea whether they were indeed symmetrical and of the same height, nor did he have any intention of finding out about it. It wasn’t like he would go to Jade Pillar Peak to make a comparison. He was only passing by this place, after all.

It had been two months since they left Thousand Streams Paradise. The map showed that they had only travelled across 30 per cent of the distance.

In other words, it would still take them at least four months before they would arrive in Divine Palace Sea. There was no doubt they still had a long journey ahead.

Lu Ye didn’t stay there for long as he continued his journey. After passing through Sky Propping Peak, they entered Yunluo Plain.

The map showed that the entire Yunluo Plain was an extremely vast area as it occupied half of the land mass of Blood Refinement Boundary. Divine Palace Sea was right below the centre of Yunluo Plain. That was an inland sea.

Several days later, in the Council Hall of a Paradise where many Blood Race members gathered, a lot of corpses were seen lying on the ground. Yu Lingfeng silently collected their Blood Crystals while Lu Ye was seated on the throne and fiddled with Holy Blood Jade. Presently, the Paradise Master was kneeling in front of Lu Ye and listening to his orders as he nodded repeatedly.

The three of them were used to the process as they had done it many times. The same scene would happen again and again every time they arrived at a new Paradise.

After giving the orders, Lu Ye rose to his feet, ready to leave. Much to his surprise, the Paradise Master, who had been planted with Soul Control, suddenly said, “Please stay for a bit longer, Holy Envoy.”

He had no idea who Lu Ye was. When he saw Lu Ye holding the jade that contained the holy blood of a Holy Seed, he thought Lu Ye was the subordinate of a particular Holy Seed. Therefore, he subconsciously called him Holy Envoy. As for why the Holy Seed had chosen a Human to be the Holy Envoy, that was none of his business.

“What’s the matter?” Lu Ye turned to look at him.

The Blood Race member asked, “Does the Holy Lord have any intention of subduing even more Paradise Masters?”

Lu Ye squinted his eyes. “What do you mean?”

The Blood Race member replied, “The Paradise Master of Yellow Dome Paradise has recently ascended to the Divine Ocean Realm, so he has invited many Paradise Masters to visit his place. He’s about to hold the Great Blood Feast. Many Paradise Masters are going to attend the feast.”

Lu Ye arched his brow upon hearing that. In the past two months, he had used Soul Control to enslave many Paradise Masters, but it wasn’t so efficient.

This was something he did while heading to his destination, so he wouldn’t force himself to achieve any results.

Since there was a gathering where many Paradise Masters would come together, he naturally wouldn’t miss the chance.

During this period, he never dared to challenge any Heavenly Lord because there were too many uncertainties. It was extremely risky for him to attack a Divine Ocean Realm Master before he became one himself.

However, he reckoned that he could defeat a Blood Race member who had just ascended to the Divine Ocean Realm. Also, many Paradise Masters were going to attend the feast.

By attending the Great Blood Feast, Lu Ye might be able to achieve a much greater result than what he had done in the past two months. It would be worth it if he just had to spend a few days to achieve his goal so that more Humans would be protected.

“Have you been invited?” Lu Ye asked.

The Blood Race member replied, “The Paradise Master of Yellow Dome Paradise and I are friends.”

“That’s great.” Lu Ye nodded with satisfaction. “What’s your name?”

The Blood Race member quickly replied, “Jin De.”

Since he was friends with the Paradise Master of Yellow Dome Paradise, he was about to set off that day. Much to his surprise, Lu Ye barged into his place and killed all other Real Lake Realm Masters. Now, Jin De was on his own.

There was nothing much they needed to prepare. Just a moment later, Jin De led Lu Ye and the others to set off.

Yellow Dome Paradise was neither near nor far away from this place. It would take them one day to reach there.

All of them arrived at Yellow Dome Paradise the next day.

From afar, they could see that Yellow Dome Paradise was engulfed in a joyful atmosphere. Many Blood Race members were moving around to decorate the place for the feast.

Since the feast hadn’t started, the guests were nowhere in sight.

When Jin De and the others landed on the ground, a Blood Race member immediately came over upon recognising him. He said with a smile, “Why are you here so early, Brother Jin De? The feast is still two days away.”

Jin De replied, “It’s wonderful news that Brother Wen has ascended to the Divine Ocean Realm, so there’s no way I’ll be late. I’m also here to see if there’s anything I can help with.”

The Paradise Master of Yellow Dome Paradise was called Wen Yufeng, and he was younger than Jin De.

The Blood Race member replied with a smile, “That’s thoughtful of you, Brother Jin De.” Then, he gave him a reminder. “However, you should start calling him Heavenly Lord now.”

Jin De was startled for a moment before letting out a laugh. “Yes, he’s Heavenly Lord Wen now.”

Although both parties were friends, a Divine Ocean Realm Master was more powerful than a Real Lake Realm Master, after all. It was inappropriate for Jin De to keep calling the man Brother Wen.

While the two Blood Race members were conversing, Lu Ye turned his head and saw many anxious Humans who had been confined. All of them were cultivators, and they were young women around 16 or 17 years old. There were around 300 to 400 of them.

Those from Yellow Dome Paradise must’ve put in a lot of effort to collect so many young women who had some cultivation. These young women were supposed to be the blood meals prepared for the Great Blood Feast. When the feast started, they would be given to the Blood Race members who attended the feast.

Lu Ye was glad that Jin De had said that to him before he left. Otherwise, he would’ve missed the feast, and these young women would’ve ended up in a horrible state.

At the same time, he felt sorrowful deep within. He happened to come across this matter and had the power to interfere. What about the suffering of those Humans in other areas of the vast Blood Refinement Boundary where he couldn’t see?

“Who are these two Humans?” The Blood Race member looked curiously at Dao Thirteen and Lu Ye. Dao Thirteen was especially attractive to the Blood Race members because of his sturdy figure and ample vitality. Back then in Bright Moon Cave Mansion, Sun Miaozhu instantly took interest in him.

Jin De replied with a smile, “They’re the gifts I’ve prepared for the Heavenly Lord. These two Blood Slaves are fairly powerful.”

The Blood Race member instantly realised his intention, so he said with a smile, “That’s so considerate of you, Brother Jin De. If the Heavenly Lord finds out about it, he’ll be pleased.”

“Where’s the Heavenly Lord?” Jin De asked. “I’ll send them to him right away.”

“He’s in the bedroom getting ready for the feast two days later.” The Blood Race member extended his hand. “Please come with me.”

Supposedly, they shouldn’t bother the Heavenly Lord at this point. However, since Jin De wanted to present some gifts to him, he wouldn’t be deterred.

They then followed the Blood Race member and headed to the backyard of the Paradise.

Soon, they arrived at a palace. The Blood Race member entered the place to inform Wen Yufeng about their arrival. Upon getting his approval, he came out of the palace and said, “The Heavenly Lord will see you now.”

“Thanks.” Jin De nodded and led Lu Ye and Dao Thirteen to enter the place.

Soon enough, they saw a Blood Race member seated on the ground. He was none other than the Paradise Master of Yellow Dome Paradise, Wen Yufeng.

Since he had ascended to the Divine Ocean Realm, the status of Yellow Dome Paradise would be upgraded as well. It would become Yellow Dome Cave Heaven. As for whether he could gain a footing, that depended on his capabilities.

That was the reason he decided to hold the Great Blood Feast so that he could make use of this chance to bribe the nearby Paradise Masters. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have spent so much effort in preparing so many high-quality blood meals.

“Greetings, Heavenly Lord.” Jin De went over and saluted him.

Wen Yufeng opened his eyes and said with a smile, “Don’t be overly formal with me, Brother Jin De. We’ve been friends for years. Although I’ve ascended to the Divine Ocean Realm before you, I’m sure you’ll make it to this Realm as well one day. You can still call me Brother Wen.”
