Chapter 2295 - 2293: Dao Bone Great Perfection

Lu Ye first encountered the supreme treasure Creation Vine during the Divine Sea Realm's engagement in the Reincarnation Tree's Divine Sea battle.

In that Taichu Realm, the Creation Vine briefly appeared, leaving behind a pill gourd.

Before that, he had already obtained the sword gourd in the Nine Provinces, a treasure from the pre-Nine Provinces era.

In the All Phenomena Ocean, he obtained the fire gourd from Yuan Se of the Yiyuan World…

It is rumored that there is a wind gourd which is a world-stabilizing treasure of a certain domain!

Thus, in his stellar space, there are four treasure gourds, but there are seven affiliated treasures on the Creation Vine.

Lu Ye still remembers seeing a note in the Asura Field that collecting seven treasure gourds could recreate the wonder of creation.

But the whereabouts of three of the treasure gourds remain unknown, who could gather them all?

Lu Ye never imagined he would see a water gourd here…

He couldn't understand why the water gourd would appear in this place. Could it be that the Creation Vine is not the supreme treasure in the stellar space but that the three treasure gourds have always been in the Star Abyss?

Whether the sword gourd or the pill gourd, or even the fire gourd and wind gourd, each has its unique use, and this water gourd is no exception.

Lu Ye glanced at the Star Abyss coin required to exchange for this water gourd, and even though he was mentally prepared, he was still stunned.

Three thousand Star Abyss coins!

This means he has to kill three thousand Dao Fusions to exchange for it.

Although there are over fifty thousand Dao Fusions participating in this competition, judging by the continuously increasing Dao Bones, it's clear that people are constantly dying.

It's impossible for him to kill three thousand Dao Fusions…

It's somewhat regretful. If he were given enough time, he might have the chance to exchange for this water gourd. But in such a competition, the role this affiliated treasure can play is almost none, spending three thousand Star Abyss coins for such an affiliated treasure is undoubtedly not cost-effective.

Lu Ye's mind lingered in this mysterious space for most of the day before reluctantly withdrawing.

There were indeed many good things, each one a masterpiece, but they all had one characteristic — they were expensive!

He also saw a special item for exchange, a Token, which only had one function: once used, it allowed one to leave this stellar space fragment.

In other words, this Token is for exiting this competition.

It's valued at a thousand Star Abyss coins!

This thing is just for display; anyone capable of killing a thousand Dao Fusions qualifies to compete for the title of Star Abyss Heir, who would redeem such an escape qualification?

Lu Ye did find a treasure useful to him, the price wasn't cheap, but the key was that the quantity of this treasure was limited, only three pieces, so it's first come, first served!

His initial plan was to hunt some Dao Fusions, then refine his Dao Bone to Great Perfection, then find a place to hide. Thus, he wouldn't need to engage too much in the competition, appearing only at the end.

But if he wants to exchange for the treasures he needs from that mysterious space, he must kill enemies to get enough Star Abyss coins!

The Will of the Star Abyss seems to want to use many treasures in the treasure vault to provoke cultivators, urging them to fight and kill more fiercely. It's undeniable that such temptation is irresistible to any cultivator.

Since ultimately only two people can survive, if one doesn't want to die, then the only way is to become stronger!

In such a competition, hiding doesn't ensure safety. If you don't become stronger, it's equivalent to weakening yourself in disguise.

Without recalling the Talent Tree Avatar, the main body and avatar left the hiding place, each concealing their form, and started swimming stealthily at a distance of ten thousand miles.

Time passed, for more than half a month.

The main body and avatar reunited again, found another secluded place to hide.

This half month, Lu Ye made several moves, each gaining something. Overall, among over fifty thousand Dao Fusions, those above the 7th Order were the minority, so Lu Ye typically encountered those below the 7th Order.

Such enemies, even in pairs, once their whereabouts are discovered by him, they only face death!

Most of his time was spent on searching for individuals.

The stellar space fragment is vast, and those Dao Fusions with lower strength acted with extreme caution, mostly possessing their own Concealment Techniques, making it not easy to find targets to hunt in such settings.

This period of hunting not only earned him dozens of Star Abyss coins but also enough Star Abyss Blessings!

He vaguely felt that the timing was about right, and his foundation could probably support the final Dao Bone refinement.

He eagerly anticipated this moment.

Since beginning cultivation, it's only been five or six years, yet over two hundred Dao Bones have gradually equipped him with the capacity to match Dao Fusions while still in the Beginner Realm.

Once his entire Dao Bones reach Great Perfection, he will have the qualification to step into Dao Fusion.

The only pity is that he didn't have time to visit the Dao Runes Pavilion of his home planet, mainly because he hadn't expected to get involved in the Star Abyss Heir competition, and even when he was in Banlan, he was brought here.

Of course, even without going to the home planet's Dao Runes Pavilion, he has the foundation to advance to Dao Fusion.

The various Dao runes on the Talent Tree can be used as the foundation for Dao Fusion, but the selection of Dao runes requires careful consideration. Being able to observe at the Dao Runes Pavilion before Dao Fusion would undoubtedly be more beneficial for him, helping him better decide what to choose.

The spirit immersed, as Dao force continuously consumed, the last Dao bone turned a dazzling gold.

As expected, the benefits from repeated Star Abyss Blessings continuously enhanced his foundation, culminating in the successful refinement of Dao bone.

The entire body achieved Dao Bone Great Perfection!

Almost at the moment the last Dao bone was successfully refined, Lu Ye suddenly felt an extremely mystical sensation.

His flesh and blood uncontrollably squirmed rapidly, blood within boiled and flowed, rushing like a river, with a cracking noise coming from his bones.

It's different now, this step forward seems to have changed him entirely.

In the past, each Dao bone was not closely connected, but now it seemed all the Dao bones were linked by an invisible force.

If previous Dao bones were scattered sand, now there was an effect of gathering sand into a tower.

While scattered sand could still exert the function of Dao bones, the benefits brought by this strong aggregation were far greater.

The entire body from inside to outside, at this moment, became incredibly transparent, over two hundred Dao bones, completely integrated, becoming sturdier and more bearing.

Lu Ye could vaguely feel that the success of the last Dao bone's refinement not only brought him a lift in power but more!

As for exactly how much was elevated, just a simple attempt would reveal it!

Yet before he could do so, the boiling and flowing blood within suddenly surged out incredibly complex and obscure information, rushing into his mind.

Lu Ye was startled, and subsequently realized, this was the Blood Race's inheritance!

The Blood Race's inheritance always hid within the bloodline, similar to exotic beasts and Sacred Beasts of ancient times, when the cultivation realm reaches sufficient levels or the bloodline becomes pure enough, these hidden inheritances naturally emerge, guiding successors in their future cultivation direction.

Although the Talent Tree's refinement burned many useless and harmful elements, the useful things were retained.

Previously, when Lu Ye's great realm elevated, he also received some bloodline inheritance of the Blood Race, thus his current achievements in Blood Techniques stemmed from these inheritances.

But never had there been a time like this.

The information was complex and obscure, yet Lu Ye could easily grasp the profound meanings within.

With slight contemplation, Lu Ye raised his hand to withdraw the Talent Tree maintained nearby for vigilance, as the upcoming task required him to be in the most perfect state!

A few breaths later, his entire aura suddenly changed, with strands of blood Qi emanating from his skin, soon enveloping the area, transforming into a blood cocoon.

Inside the blood cocoon, Lu Ye sat like a true member of the Blood Race, needing no elder's guidance; at this stage, he naturally knew what to do.

His robust body began to contract, skin luster swiftly dulled, flesh withered, quickly slimming into skin and bones.

This was truly skin and bones.

Excluding a complete skeleton, only a layer of skin remained, seemingly all the flesh and blood within had vanished.

Not only in appearance, even internally, his organs all withered, and the heart became shriveled.

Even the vitality in Lu Ye's body had been thoroughly extinguished.

The only intact part was Lu Ye's entire Dao bone!

Anyone who came by would likely think this was a dried corpse.

With the transformation of his body, the outer blood cocoon became increasingly solid.

One day, two days, three days…

In the desolate stillness, Lu Ye showed no sign of revival.

The place he hid was a domain fragment, originally a flourishing domain in this stellar space, since fragments still retained several ruined structures.

Nearby stellar space suddenly erupted with violent conflicts.

Clearly, cultivators involved in this conflict encountered each other, and such situations occurred frequently recently, no matter how large the stellar space fragment, with fifty thousand Dao Fusion injected into it, inevitably encounters and conflicts occurred.

The combat between both parties this time involved two pairs of male and female cultivators, though rather than combat, it was more like a pursuit.

Because one side's overall strength was far weaker than the other side.

After a short while, the weaker side's male cultivator was killed, leaving only a female cultivator struggling alone, eventually cornered by her enemies, severely wounded and fallen, unable to resist, eyes filled with terror and resentment.

On the dominant side, the female cultivator was about to end the battle when her male companion raised his hand to stop: "Wait a moment."

With that, he withdrew his Dao soldiers, stepping forward vigorously, eyes gleaming.

His companion watched, eyebrows slightly furrowed, evidently aware of the male cultivator's intentions, yet showed no inclination to stop, only impatiently urged: "Hurry!"

The male cultivator licked his lips: "I know!"

Reaching out, seizing the hair of the now unresisting woman, amidst her cries and screams, he whisked her toward a domain fragment not far away.
