Chapter 479. Confirmation, Using the Ancient Token, the True Enemy
Lu Yuan understood that even if the two forces had not completely cooperated with the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons, it could now be confirmed that the two sides had exchanged benefits.
Moreover, the connection ran exceedingly deep. Otherwise, ordinary clansmen would not possess the black blood.
Possessing the black blood seemed able to greatly increase one's potential in cultivation and evolution. More importantly, it could also raise battle prowess and provide all kinds of benefits.
Just like back then, why had the black dragon survived despite being sealed away for so long?
Even after the world changed, it still had not died because that drop of black blood had continued functioning, allowing it to live for a very long time.
Simply put, the black blood was a power belonging to the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons and possessed all kinds of abilities.
That was why the clansmen of the two forces could improve so greatly within such a short span of time.
Beside him, the three from the Jiang Clan also understood what was going on, and all of their brows furrowed.
This was especially true for Jiang Ningxian. She had witnessed the power of the black blood before. Now, seeing it again and thinking that perhaps every clansman of the two forces possessed it...
If a great battle broke out later, what should they do?
Perhaps this was the true crisis.
"How can this be?" the Ji Clan member also reacted.
Looking at the black blood above his head, he did not understand how Lu Yuan had discovered it.
Nor how Lu Yuan had forced it out of his body.
This should not have happened. That was power that did not belong to this realm.
While he was still puzzled, Lu Yuan turned to look at the three Jiang Clan members. "We understand more or less everything. Asking further is unnecessary. This person no longer has any value."
Having no value meant he could die.
Of course, Lu Yuan would not personally act. It was unnecessary.
Was this ruthless?
What a joke.
This person had already accepted the power of the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons. He might very likely threaten the living beings of this world.
Was there still a need to consider so much?
"I understand." Jiang Huanyun immediately understood what to do.
Afterward, the three said nothing more and left. Someone would naturally handle that Ji Clan member.
"It is now confirmed that the two forces are growing more and more deeply involved with the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons. Even ordinary clansmen possess that black blood. This is very troublesome. I fought the black dragon before. The black blood will grant them a unique ability. If it is an ordinary cultivator, even if they are one realm higher, they may not be a match.
"More importantly, those who possess the black blood are very difficult to kill," Lu Yuan said.
His expression had become unusually solemn. The matter involved too much.
When he fought the black dragon before, if it had not actively forced out the black blood, it would have been impossible for him to kill it.
This was also why the two forces dared to act against those Outer Cosmos beings now. Because they had something to rely on, and that was the support of the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons behind them.
"Then what should we do next?"
Jiang Huanyun also felt a little lost. Anything involving the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons exceeded what he could control.
After all, within the same realm, even his clan's Starfield Lord had been injured.
Now, the two forces seemed to have accepted the power of the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons on a large scale. He truly did not know what should be done.
"There is a way to deal with the black blood." Lu Yuan thought briefly, then continued, "But for now, we should not act. Let us see what the two forces intend to do. Also, I hope you can tell Senior Taiyu about the news here."
During the previous battle against the black dragon, his own power had been completely suppressed.
However, once the Celestial Emperor's Ancient Token emerged, it completely obliterated the power of the Extracosmic Heavenly Demon.
Lu Yuan wondered whether, by combining the Ancient Token and Providence, he could find a method specifically targeting the black blood.
And that method could not be utilized by him alone. Otherwise, if a huge battle erupted in the future, he would not be able to handle everything.
"Good." Jiang Huanyun naturally had no objection. Moreover, at present, this was the only method.
With the power of the Jiang Clan and the Celestial Court, it was not impossible to restrain the two forces.
The problem was that they did not know how far the Ji Clan and the Eternals had gone.
If they acted now, they would absolutely alert the enemy.
Afterward, they said nothing more and left.
Lu Yuan returned to his room, but he did not enter seclusion. Instead, he took out that black blood.
It emitted traces of strange power. Even when he opened the Martial Dao Heavenly Eyes, he could not clearly see what its essence was.
Lu Yuan tried using the most ordinary power. The moment it came into contact with the black blood, he discovered that his own power was actually restrained.
If he wanted to suppress the black blood, he had to use even more powerful strength. In other words, unless one was a realm higher, one could not affect it.
Was this what gave the clansmen of the two forces their confidence?
"This is only black blood. If it were an actual Extracosmic Heavenly Demon, what would it be like?"
Lu Yuan thought of many things.
He studied the black blood not only to find a way to deal with it. More importantly, he wanted to use the black blood to understand those Extracosmic Heavenly Demons.
From the beginning until now, he had only learned of those existences from ancient records, or from words left behind by predecessors.
He had never actually seen them.
An unknown enemy was the most terrifying, so he wanted to understand.
And from the black blood, he obtained some information. Those Extracosmic Heavenly Demons possessed a power that naturally restrained this world.
No wonder every time he encountered related matters or people, whether it was the Primordial Dragon or Guang Chengzi, they all carried a kind of resolve at the end.
Those were all heroes of their age. Yet they had all shown that kind of mentality.
One could imagine the strength of the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons.
And now, Lu Yuan also knew part of the reason. This world seemed to be naturally restrained.
"Next is finding what method and what power can be used to deal with the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons."
Lu Yuan fell into deep thought.
He did not regard the Eternals and the Ji Clan as his final opponents. The only thing that gave him a sense of crisis was the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons, because they were unknown opponents.
And there was something else. No matter how powerful the two forces were, they were only individual starfields.
But those great enemies beyond the realm?
They might be an entire world.
All along, Lu Yuan had disliked waiting until matters were right before him before thinking of how to solve them. This had been the case from the beginning of the Global Awakening until now.
Therefore, what Lu Yuan wanted was to think of a method in advance to deal with the Extracosmic Heavenly Demons. That way, when the actual great calamity arrived, they would not be unable to respond.
