Chapter 436: Blood Tide
As expected, after just over half an hour, countless blood beasts responded to the call of the clan leaders and chiefs, rushed out frantically from the deep sea, and launched attacks on the surrounding islands and industries of various clans.
The cries of the group of blood beasts were a signal, notifying all the blood beasts in the sea to come out and fight.
"Hua Hua Hua..."
One after another, the blood beasts soared into the sky and pounced towards the Dragon Blood Island. In just a few breaths, hundreds of billions of blood beasts rushed out, densely packed and mighty. The leader among them had surprisingly reached the level of a mid-level blood beast.
It is worthy of being called Dragon Blood Island. In the first wave of blood disaster, blood beasts of this level appeared. Needless to say, there will definitely be higher-level blood beasts appearing in the future.
Lu Changjing personally sat in the core of the Rainbow Light Array Group, multitasking, manipulating the Rainbow Light Array Group to protect Dragon Blood Island and suppress the surrounding blood beasts.
As for commanding everyone to fight, that would naturally be the responsibility of Zheng Zhi, the owner of Dragon Blood Island. After Lu Changjing took over Dragon Blood Island, Zheng Zhi was also willing to follow.
After all, the Zheng family has been operating on Dragon Blood Island for many years and is very good at planting and cultivating various natural treasures on Dragon Blood Island. If they leave here, there will be almost no place for them to work.
So Lu Changjing simply bought them all together, and the price was not high. After all, the Zheng family was not a commodity. Even if they were allowed to choose for themselves, they would most likely stay on Dragon Blood Island.
Lu Changjing simply offered a similar price so as not to embarrass Third Senior Sister, and he took down the Zheng family, as well as many forces on Dragon Blood Island that were good at managing these dragon-related treasures.
Under He Yingyan's command, there was only one dragon-related island, Dragon Blood Island. These forces and individuals would not be of much use to her, so He Yingyan had no objection to this and even felt that she had gotten rid of some burdens.
The two of them hit it off immediately, and it was a win-win situation for both parties.
Zheng Zhi is also good at commanding battles, and can assist Lu Changjing in controlling the rainbow light array, providing him with considerable help.
"Swish, swish, swish, swish..."
Seeing that the rainbow light array group suppressed the surrounding blood beasts, Lu Changjing did not hesitate. He drew out the Yi Zhong Sword and divided it into 100 million parts, killing the countless blood beasts.
Each one has a lethality close to the earth level. As long as they have not reached the level of the blood earth beast, they can only become the dead souls under Lu Changjing's sword.
"Chi chi chi chi chi chi..."
In just a few breaths, hundreds of millions of blood beasts below level 40 were killed by Lu Changjing, leaving the area around Dragon Blood Island empty.
Wherever the earth soul is shrouded, that is where billions of swords roam.
At this moment, Lu Changjing's earth soul covers an area of 220,000 kilometers in radius, which is enough to cover the entire Dragon Blood Island and its surrounding areas.
The power of heaven and earth in this area will also be controlled by him, and even the blood beasts will not be able to snatch it away. All of it will be added to the Yi Zhong Sword, and the destructive power that will burst out can be imagined.
As for those blood beasts above level 40, the Nine Dragon Sword was unsheathed with a clang. The Nine Dragon Sword, which has reached the level of an intermediate heavenly weapon, is far superior to the Yi Zhong Sword in one-on-one combat.
"Nine Dragon Sword: Twin Dragons Playing with a Pearl!"
The sword light jumped and swept across the sky. In a blink of an eye, two intermediate blood beasts were killed. As for those low-level blood beasts, needless to say, Lu Changjing could easily kill them without the Nine Dragon Sword Technique.
After these days of adaptation and practice, the power of the Nine Dragon Sword Technique has far surpassed the previous sword technique, and with the matching intermediate heavenly weapon set, it goes without saying how powerful it is.
"Nine Dragon Sword - Plum Blossoms!"
With a strike of the sword, plum blossoms suddenly appeared, each of which was hundreds of meters in radius, like flowers scattered by a fairy, falling on the blood beasts above level 40 and killing them easily.
In just a short period of time, dozens of blood beasts died at the hands of Lu Changjing, and his ranking on the contribution list immediately began to rise far ahead.
At the same time, Lu Changjing received news that during the blood disaster, the contribution obtained by killing a blood beast would be increased by 50%, instead of the previous 30%.
As a result, more of the Wanxiang Sect's menial disciples, outer-image disciples, inner-image disciples, true-transmission disciples... and even the outer-image elders, inner-image elders, true-transmission elders... walked out of their homes and participated in the great blood disaster.
The high-ranking members of Wanxiang Sect also need to make contributions to make a living. This contribution system applies to everyone in Wanxiang Sect. Not only Lu Changjing was tempted, but even many of the true elders were tempted.
However, there are only a few who can match Lu Changjing's killing efficiency. The Yi Zhong Sword is worthy of being a magic weapon for group attacks. Wherever it passes, the surrounding blood beasts and blood divine beasts die and fall like dumplings. It is invincible.
Moreover, if a sufficient number of Yi Zhong Swords were gathered, even the Blood Earth Beast could be killed. However, Lu Changjing still asked him to concentrate on clearing out the Blood Mysterious Beast and the Blood God Beast, as the Blood Earth Beast could be dealt with by the Nine Dragon Sword.
Inevitably, many low-level blood beasts will be missed, allowing the warriors guarding Dragon Blood Island to also get some benefits. He can't clean them all up by himself. Even if Lu Changjing has such strength, he will not do such a thing as eating alone.
It's not like I'm in the state of sudden enlightenment, so I have to consider the impact.
The first wave of blood beast invasion alone lasted for dozens of hours, nearly two days, it was truly a great blood disaster.
The strongest blood beast that has ever appeared has reached level 48, which is a high-level blood earth beast, and is barely qualified to become Lu Changjing's slave.
Those earth-level monsters such as Kunpeng and Qinglong have been arranged by Lu Changjing around different earth-level industries to help him guard these industries and prevent them from being attacked by many blood beasts.
Lu Changjing also planned to take advantage of this great blood disaster to fill up the quotas of Soul-Picking Slaves and Nine Dragon Slaves as much as possible. At least he had to enslave a dozen level 50 blood beasts, so as to ensure the peace of the industries under his command.
However, this matter must be carried out carefully to avoid being discovered by the outside world. If people knew that he had the means to purify the chaotic will in the blood beast's body, there would be no good ending.
Even if the Wanxiang Sect would protect him, the Anxie Blood Beasts would definitely go crazy. Not to mention the Blood Earth Beasts, even the Blood Sky Beasts would flock to him, wanting to obtain the purification technique.
However, the difficulty of practicing and improving the purification technique is something Lu Changjing has never seen in his life. If he is unable to practice and improve it at that time, they will definitely target Lu Changjing.
Even though Lu Changjing was quite powerful and had a strong ability to escape, he was not sure he could escape when facing the siege and pursuit of countless blood beasts.
What's more, Lu Changjing still has concerns. There are so many relatives and friends waiting for him on Chang'an Island. What should Lu Changjing do if the Blood Sky Beasts use Chang'an Island to threaten Lu Changjing?
It is better to be careful so as to avoid many disasters.
After the first wave of blood beasts on Dragon Blood Island, there was about several hours of rest time. Lu Changjing took advantage of this time and did not stay on Dragon Blood Island. Instead, he went to patrol the Baishi Mining Area, Red Sea Shell Farm, Huaguo Mountain and other places where local resource industries were located, and killed many of the blood beasts around them.
Some of these industries and resources have begun to face sieges from blood beasts, including blood earth beasts.
Lu Changjing cleaned it up directly to reduce the pressure of the blood disaster.
Although it was a bit busy, with Lu Changjing's current physique and endurance, this little bit of fatigue was nothing. With the improvement of his immortal physique, Lu Changjing's endurance was still growing. Not to mention several days and nights, even if he fought at this intensity for several years, Lu Changjing would not have any problems.
Generally, a major blood disaster lasts for more than half a year, and occasionally even for several years. Lu Changjing felt that he could definitely hold on for that long.
It doesn't mean that he doesn't rest during this period. After midnight every day, he is in full condition. If he is too tired, he will do it a few more times, or take a nap occasionally. For Lu Changjing, it is enough.
After an inspection, the war on Dragon Blood Island started again. Fortunately, Lu Changjing's hundreds of industries and resources are safe and sound and have not been attacked.
However, some islands that were unlucky did not even survive the first wave of attacks and were already breached.
More blood beasts came in overwhelming numbers, but this time the number of blood beasts was less than the first time. The number and quality of blood beasts in each wave of attack were also different, but generally the first wave at the beginning was more powerful, and the subsequent middle wave was also more powerful.
For Lu Changjing, who already possesses the combat power of a Heavenly Venerate, this threat is nothing.
Yi Zhong Sword was raised again to face the blood beasts that covered the sky and the sun. Holding the Nine Dragon Sword, he was ready to kill those blood beasts at any time.
The war started again, and the same scene happened in many places in the Vientiane waters.
The human race, the demon race, the monster race, the ghost race, the monster race... were all being besieged by the blood beasts. No matter if it was an island or some buildings in the sea, any race that did not belong to the blood beasts was their target.
Countless blood beasts rushed out from the deep sea, forming blood-red hurricanes that swept across the entire Wanxiang Sea.
In some places, there were too many blood beasts, and they were not killed in time, so the blood beasts covered the entire island, as if it had entered night.
The first wave of the blood disaster was extremely fierce, and many islands were conquered in the first wave. However, as long as you can hold on, the impact will be much alleviated in the future.
The industries and resources under Lu Changjing's command all faced the outbreak of the first wave of blood disaster one after another. Even with Lu Changjing's support, dozens of industries and resources were destroyed and turned into ruins. Most of them were below the Xuan level, with only one Xuan level industry and resources.
Later, Lu Changjing received news that Wanmu Villa, one of the most precious local industries under the Third Senior Sister, had been breached. Hundreds of millions of people were killed or injured, and almost no one was able to escape.
In the end, no one was willing to take over Third Senior Sister's Wanmu Villa. Obviously, no one was optimistic about Third Senior Sister's Wanmu Villa and felt that if they took over the villa, they would be trapped.
The third sister could only keep Wanmu Villa in her hands, but she didn't expect that she couldn't even survive the first wave. The huge earth-level resource island was destroyed by the blood beasts, and so many human beings on it were buried with them.
Lu Changjing had nothing to say about this. He didn't know whether to say that the third senior sister was stingy, or that she was too short-sighted, or that the blood beast was too powerful.
However, he did not regret not taking over Wanmu Villa, because even if he did, he would not be able to take care of it, as Wanmu Villa was too far away from most of his industries and resources.
It is impossible for Lu Changjing to ignore all the industries and resources under his control for the sake of Wanmu Villa. Only his real body can be sent to Wanmu Villa to save it.
But Lu Changjing didn't want to seek death, so how could he let his main body stay in such a dangerous place? He couldn't even think about such a thing.
Even the third senior sister was unwilling to leave her real body in Wanmu Villa, let alone him, since it was not his own property.
After finding out about it, Lu Changjing ignored it. The blood disaster was still going on and he didn't have that much time to care about these things.
The second wave of blood disaster lasted for more than thirty hours. Although it lasted longer, the number and quality of blood beasts decreased, and Lu Changjing once again easily survived it.
Taking advantage of the rest time, Lu Changjing went straight to the Baishi mining area. The blood disaster there was still continuing. It was the second wave. The number and quality of blood beasts even exceeded that of Dragon Blood Island. Lu Changjing naturally had to rush to support.
"Om..."
Before the people arrived, billions of flying swords had already shot down from the sky. Countless blood beasts died wherever they passed, becoming souls under Lu Changjing's sword.
In the blink of an eye, tens of millions of blood beasts and blood divine beasts became Lu Changjing's trophies.
"Now that the Crown Prince has arrived, we don't have to worry so much anymore."
"Meet His Highness the Crown Prince."
"Everything is going fine with the Five Metals Mutual Prosperity Array. Your Highness, please come and preside over it."
……
As soon as he arrived here, Lu Changjing directly took control of the Five Metals Mutual Generation Array. The original top-level Xuan Array Master was responsible for cooperating with Lu Changjing to sweep away the blood beasts around the Baishi mining area.
The defending warriors, who were originally struggling, suddenly felt ten or a hundred times more relaxed, and they killed even more blood beasts.
After all, although there were many blood beasts rushing over before, many of them were beyond their ability to deal with. They were often suppressed by the blood beasts and could not kill many at all.
Now with the arrival of Lu Changjing, all the high-level blood beasts were killed by Lu Changjing, and only some low-level blood beasts were left for them, which were completely within their killing range.
Moreover, the blood beasts close to the Five Metal Mutual Generation Formation were suppressed more severely, so it was much easier to kill them.
"Kill, kill, kill. While the Crown Prince is here, we need to kill more blood beasts."
"Your Highness is really amazing. He has increased our efficiency in killing blood beasts by several times. We are going to make a lot of money again this time."
"It's a pity that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince can't stay in the White Rock Mine Area all the time, otherwise we would have made a fortune this time."
"Don't dream. Your Highness the Crown Prince has so many businesses under his command. It's already great that he can spare so much time to help us. What else can we ask for?"
……
The number of blood beasts around the Baishi mining area was decreasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, far exceeding the previous speed.
Lu Changjing also tried his best to kill as many blood beasts and blood beasts as possible to prevent the warriors guarding the Baishi mining area from being unable to hold on.
After cleaning for several hours and receiving the news from Dragon Blood Island, Lu Changjing left the Baishi mining area and headed towards Dragon Blood Island.
The third wave of blood beasts has come surging in. Their number is slightly larger than the second wave, but less than the first wave. However, the number of blood beasts rushing over this time is not much less than the first time.
