Simultaneously, Ye Yunfei activated his Myriad Spirits Body Forging Art, causing his entire body to erupt with terrifying bloodline energy.
Ye Yunfei stepped forward one heavy step at a time. The over three thousand types of Origin Bloodlines within his body released a terrifying suppression energy, all working together to counter that single drop of the Divine Dragon's Origin Bloodline.
At the same time, Ye Yunfei also deployed his physique divine abilities. His two arms continuously extended and enlarged, resembling two giant dragons, throwing punch after punch towards that drop of divine dragon blood.
A moment later, Ye Yunfei finally walked up to the altar, face to face with that drop of blood.
Standing here, Ye Yunfei could see even more clearly: within the blood, multiple majestic and awe-inspiring divine dragon phantoms swam about. One world-shaking dragon roar after another continuously emanated from the blood, stirring one's heart to the core.
Next, Ye Yunfei continuously employed various methods to attack and suppress this drop of the Divine Dragon's Origin Bloodline.
At this moment, alarming roars and terrifying dragon cries constantly emanated from within this small temple.
The entire small temple was radiating shocking bloody light; the overwhelming blood energy completely dyed the sky above the mountain range crimson.
In the distance, some alien beings exploring and searching for treasures finally noticed this place. They soared into the air one after another, gazing towards this majestic and imposing mountain range.
"It seems a heavy treasure might have appeared within those mountains. Let's hurry over."
Soon, some beings began employing their movement techniques, rushing towards the location of the small temple.
Inside the small temple, Ye Yunfei finally succeeded in suppressing that drop of the Divine Dragon's Origin Bloodline, then forcefully sealed it.
"Finally obtained a drop of a Divine Dragon's Origin Bloodline."
Ye Yunfei was somewhat excited.
This was a genuine drop of a Divine Dragon's Origin Bloodline. Divine Dragons were reputed to be one of the highest-ranking races in the world.
Moreover, according to legends, Divine Dragons had long been extinct within the Chaotic Void Sea. A single drop of a Divine Dragon's Origin Bloodline was exceptionally precious.
When Ye Yunfei sealed that drop of the Divine Dragon's Origin Bloodline, the bloody mist permeating outward from the small temple began to grow increasingly thin. The overwhelmingly bright blood light erupting from within the temple vanished in an instant.
"Huh?
There's also a technique jade slip!"
After collecting that drop of Origin Bloodline, Ye Yunfei discovered another technique jade slip on the altar surface. It was possible it had been concealed by the drop of Origin Bloodline earlier, only revealing itself now.
Ye Yunfei had already sensed that many alien beings were rushing towards the temple's location. Not wanting a conflict with them, Ye Yunfei set up a teleportation formation and directly teleported away, vanishing from within the small temple.
A few breaths later, figure after figure landed on the flat ground, surrounding the small temple before charging inside.
However, by this time, aside from still permeating with some relatively thin bloody mist, there was nothing else within the small temple.
Meanwhile, Ye Yunfei had already appeared somewhere far away, revealing his figure.
"It's time for this exploration and treasure hunt within Tianmu Shenjun's Cultivation Grotto to come to an end, as there aren't many valuable things left inside,"
Ye Yunfei looked back towards the position of the mountain range and said softly.
All the places marked on the map within the teleportation token as having treasures, Ye Yunfei had visited. Of course, the treasures at some of those locations had already been snatched away by others who got there first.
"It's time to leave. Staying here any longer holds no meaning.
Our gains from exploring Tianmu Shenjun's Cultivation Grotto this time are truly abundant; we should be satisfied,"
the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm said with a smile.
"Even Tianmu Shenjun's Eye Technique Inheritance was obtained by you. Indeed, you should be satisfied,"
Hun Lao also said.
"Master, it's possible the most precious treasure within Tianmu Shenjun's Cultivation Grotto is precisely the Eye Technique Inheritance,"
Hu Miao said.
"Indeed, I also feel the most precious part should be the Eye Technique Inheritance,"
Ye Yunfei nodded.
"Let's prepare to leave now."
Ye Yunfei thought for a moment and said.
Tianmu Shenjun's Cultivation Grotto was essentially a world unto itself. Currently, the majority of the treasures and resources within this world had been taken by the beings who entered from outside. Staying here any longer held little significance.
Thus, Ye Yunfei employed his movement technique, preparing to head towards the direction of the exit of Tianmu Shenjun's Cultivation Grotto.
A moment later.
"You guys can't escape. I advise you not to struggle pointlessly. Quickly hand over all your possessions, then kneel there. Perhaps if our mood improves, we might spare your worthless lives."
Suddenly, Ye Yunfei heard a voice full of ridicule coming from the distance. Then he saw a group of beings seemingly fleeing in a miserable, disorganized state.
Each member of this group wore a panic-stricken expression, their faces pale and their auras disordered. Some bore obvious injuries.
"Patriarch Yang!"
At a glance, Ye Yunfei spotted that among this group was an old man—it was Yang Feng.
An elder of the Yang Family was closely following by Yang Feng's side. The two of them mixed within the crowd, following the others as they fled in panic.
Then Ye Yunfei saw a large group of fierce-looking beings chasing behind those desperately fleeing.
Judging by numbers, the pursuing group was larger, and their cultivation levels and strength seemed higher.
"Looks like these guys are planning a robbery,"
the Golden-Horned Dragon Silkworm spoke up.
"Let's go take a look."
Originally, Ye Yunfei hadn't intended to get involved, as this kind of situation was far too common during treasure-hunting expeditions.
Fighting over treasures was unavoidable. However, since Yang Feng was involved, Ye Yunfei didn't plan to stand by idly.
"Hahaha…
This road is blocked! You can't escape!"
Suddenly, a wild laugh rang out, then five figures abruptly emerged from a space ahead.
Each erupted with powerful energy auras, resembling five erupting volcanoes.
These five who suddenly jumped out to block the path were all Sovereign Gods: four were at the Fifth Layer and one at the Sixth Layer.
As soon as these five Sovereign Gods appeared, they completely blocked those wretchedly fleeing beings.
"Hahaha…
None targeted by our Blood Bandits can escape."
The pursuers from behind also caught up. They all revealed ferocious faces, murderous intent billowing. Their leader, a Fifth Layer Sovereign God, glared fiercely and declared.
"So you really are from the Blood Bandits!"
Hearing this Fifth Layer Sovereign God's words, those trapped in the middle all wore expressions of terror, their faces instantly turning ashen.
Though the name 'Blood Bandits' sounded rather vulgar, it had been a terror-inspiring, formidable force since ancient times.
According to legends, the Blood Bandits were an evil organization that existed since antiquity. Every member of the Blood Bandits was utterly wicked, cruel-natured, specializing in evil deeds. For members of this organization, robbery and plunder were utterly normal.
"I never expected members of the Blood Bandits to have also entered."
An old man wore an expression of despair.
"Since you know of the great reputation of our Blood Bandits, then cease all pointless struggle. All of you kneel on the ground right now and obediently hand over everything on your persons.
If you cooperate well, I might consider sparing your wretched lives,"
a sturdy, rough-looking elder of the Blood Bandits said with a sinister smile.
"Everyone, every single member of the Blood Bandits is utterly evil. Anyone who falls into their hands will definitely meet a terrible end.
So we absolutely must not kneel and surrender. Fight them with everything we have, and we might have a sliver of a chance to live.
If we kneel and surrender, we will all surely die miserable deaths here,"
someone among the trapped crowd spoke up.
It was a tall, slender old man with three long strands of beard on his chest.
With a *hong* sound, just as this old man finished speaking, a violently bloody energy mist appeared above his head, churning and rolling, eventually transforming into an enormous, bright crimson blood palm. Carrying terrifying energy, it fiercely slammed down towards the green-robed old man.
Sensing the dreadful power of the blood palm above, the green-robed old man's face instantly turned deathly pale.
The green-robed old man extended his hand, and upon his palm appeared a nine-story golden pagoda. It continuously enlarged, moving upwards to block that descending blood palm.
With a *dang* sound, the nine-story golden pagoda was sent flying by a single palm strike.
The green-robed old man's face instantly paled even further. He continuously coughed up blood, his aura withering.
"What are you all waiting for?
Act! Never believe a single word spoken by these demons of the Blood Bandits.
Don't believe for a moment they will spare our lives. Wherever the Blood Bandits go, they plunder everything and kill everyone, leaving no survivors,"
The green-robed old man, injured by the palm strike, immediately retrieved two white divine healing pills and swallowed them. His spirit immediately somewhat recovered, and he loudly shouted.
"That's right! The legends about the Blood Bandits are indeed like that. Wherever they go, they plunder everything and kill everyone. Let's fight them with everything we've got!"
Some people echoed the shout. They activated their magic treasures, releasing their energy, ready to fight.
"Since that's the case, then kill them all. Don't waste any more time. Many more fat sheep await our slaughter,"
a Sixth Layer Sovereign God of the Blood Bandits stood with hands clasped behind his back not far away. He looked at the trapped group with cold eyes and spoke indifferently.
"What is the origin of this Blood Bandits force?
They actually have so many Fifth Layer and Sixth Layer Sovereign Gods. Their overall strength seems quite formidable!"
Ye Yunfei had clearly heard the exchange between the groups and couldn't help but curiously ask Hun Lao.
