You don't want your secret to be revealed by others, right?

Original divine blood has spirituality.

It can be treated as a sentient being, which will traverse and escape once it senses danger.

Even if it is forcefully captured through sheer strength, it would self-destruct and dissipate on the spot.

Therefore, the only method is to use Divine Thought to cast secret techniques that communicate with spirituality, similar to refining a Magic Treasure with strong spirituality, and gradually become familiar with the spirituality of original divine blood.

Wait until the spirituality of the original divine blood is completely refined, and then it can be collected.

At that time, with its spirituality gone, only instinct remains, and even if it instinctually wants to flee, as long as the void is suppressed and confined, it won't be able to escape.

Only with instinct, the original divine blood will not choose self-destruction.

"Communicating with spirituality and the process of refining generally takes at least half an hour."

Lin Yue felt somewhat uneasy in his heart, and began to quietly deploy the secret technique of communication and soothing through Divine Thought.

Fortunately, his Divine Thought wasn't hindered by Eternal Night and could extend up to eighty li away, allowing him to instantly begin using the secret technique; otherwise, who knows when the original divine blood would come particularly close.

Even in Eternal Night, a Great Cultivator of the Human Clan's Divine Thought only covers a few dozen zhang, while a Saintly being in the Human Clan has a range of a thousand zhang.

Even for a Saint in the Demon Clan, it is very difficult for Divine Thought to perceive anything eighty li away.

So, from this perspective, he already had a great advantage.

"Come over, come."

Lin Yue carefully executed the secret technique for communicating and soothing spirituality, trying to emit some goodwill emotions to that droplet of original divine blood.

The original divine blood, like a frightened rabbit, would sometimes appear a bit further away after traversing the void and sometimes appear closer as if testing the grounds.

Lin Yue waited very patiently, with absolutely no intention of making a move.

After all, even though the original divine blood could traverse the void, it could only cover tens of li at a time, but it was always within the scope of his Divine Thought.

He could ensure the continuous casting of the secret technique for communicating and soothing spirituality, treating this droplet of original divine blood like a Magic Treasure with strong spirituality and constantly soothing it.

A little less than half an hour passed before the original divine blood traversed the void and came to a point several zhang away in mid-air from Lin Yue.

A joy filled Lin Yue's heart.

According to historical cases, this distance was already close enough to begin refining its spirituality.

Yet Lin Yue remained slightly apprehensive, continuing to soothe and communicate, waiting for it to come closer, which would mean it had grown more familiar and trusting, before he would refine its spirituality to prevent it from being startled and fleeing.

After a moment more, the original divine blood came even closer, just one or two zhang away.

"It's time."

Lin Yue then began refining its spirituality through the secret technique.

Those Magic Treasures with strong self-awareness would usually have their spirituality subtly refined away through such secret techniques.

This process was like a villain coaxing a child to open the door, then tricking the child into taking medicine.

"Very good, very smooth."

A sense of anticipation couldn't help but arise in Lin Yue's heart.

It was said that the spirituality of original divine blood might contain a 'Divine Art' passed down from the Ancient Gods, and by refining its spirituality, one might obtain such Divine Arts.

Would he also have such a fortunate opportunity?

Even if not, it mattered little.

To obtain the original divine blood was satisfaction enough for him.

Time passed bit by bit.

Lin Yue continued his unruffled casting of the secret technique for refining spirituality, progressively refining the remaining spirituality of the original divine blood.

"Fortunately, the Great Tiandu Formation in the northwest region was destroyed by me to the point of unusability, otherwise they might have found me by now..." he secretly rejoiced.

Although he had set up defenses around the valley, there was no telling how long they could withstand.

However, considering the time, the Demon Clan was also likely to arrive soon.

"Almost there, very soon."

Lin Yue continued refining the remaining spirituality of the original divine blood with a hint of nervousness.

Suddenly—

"Boom!"

A massive disturbance from outside the valley reached him, as an overwhelming presence spread out.

Lin Yue's Divine Thought was always enveloping hundreds of li around, so he naturally detected the arrival.

It was a tall man in a green robe with green scales on his cheeks, holding a long staff in his hand that emitted a terrifying aura.

"A Saint of the Green Jiao Clan? A Semi-Divine Artifact?"

Lin Yue's eyes narrowed slightly.

Without needing to think, he knew this Demon Saint must be a leader of the Demon Clan from the northern or western regions outside Great Yong, just like the Demon Saint Huang Yao.

His own strength was already among the strongest of the ordinary Demon Saints, and with the addition of a Semi-Divine Artifact, his power could completely rival those exceptional Demon Saints!

"Array?"

In his other hand, the Demon Saint of the Green Jiao Clan grasped a misty crystal, "The Source Blood of the Heavenly Demon Ancestor is indeed here!"

Just as he was about to fly into the valley, he was hindered by the Array, so he immediately struck with his staff, attempting to break the Array and enter, but to his surprise, the Array still withstood his chaotic blow.

"How long do you think you can hold out?"

The Demon Saint of the Green Jiao Clan sneered coldly and immediately started swinging his Semi-Divine Artifact staff, continuously smashing it against the Array that enveloped the valley.

Thunderous explosions sounded non-stop, but the Array Barrier held firm.

Lin Yue glanced over, showing no sign of surprise, and continued refining the spirit of the Original Divine Blood.

Before entering the valley, he had already set up the Array in advance.

This Array did not require anyone else to operate and change; it was a Spirit Treasure Formation. The base of the Array was not Cultivators, but three Supreme Grade Spiritual Treasures and nine Mid Grade Spiritual Treasures.

Through the hands of Lord Bi Xu, these Spiritual Treasures were made into part of this grand formation.

If the Array were broken, these Spiritual Treasures would also be destroyed.

Though it was extremely lavish and wasteful, the advantage was that he could operate it alone, and it was very convenient to set up!

The key point was—

Unless it was a Saint who had attained Ancient Divine Power, even those exceptional Saintly powerhouses who attacked fiercely would find it very difficult to break the Array.

The cost was three Supreme Grade Spiritual Treasures, nine Mid Grade Spiritual Treasures, and a vast amount of other precious treasures used to create the Array.

It was extravagant, but it was also very useful.

Lin Yue did not care about the Demon Saint outside and focused on refining the spirit of the Original Divine Blood.

After a while—

"Hmm?"

Lin Yue suddenly noticed that another Demon Saint with golden mane like a lion had arrived outside the valley's Array, holding two heavy black hammers that were obviously Semi-Divine Artifacts.

His power was in no way inferior to that of the Demon Saint from the Green Jiao Clan.

"Another Semi-Divine Artifact?"

Lin Yue raised his eyebrows slightly, "The Demon Clan is really going all out for this uncertain reincarnation of Xiahou Shou..."

Semi-Divine Artifacts were crafted painstakingly by Proving powerhouses and were extremely precious; most exceptional Saints in Great Yong did not possess such artifacts.

The Demon Clan had actually spared two Semi-Divine Artifacts, teleported over by the Great Tiandu Formation to capture him; their determination was evident.

"Two Demon Saints, two Semi-Divine Artifacts, they could indeed shake this Spirit Treasure Formation, but breaking it is still a long way off."

Lin Yue sensed the status of the Array and set his mind at ease.

Moments later.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—!"

Suddenly, a series of fearsome streaks of light came flying from the horizon, tearing across the sky of Eternal Night, heading directly for the valley.

The faces of the Demon Saint of the Green Jiao Clan and the lion-like Demon Saint changed.

"So many Demon Saints?"

Among the eight streaks of light that were flying in, seven emitted a presence far surpassing theirs, undoubtedly all exceptional Demon Saints.

As for the other streak of light, it merely carried the aura of a Demon King, but its speed was on par with the exceptional Demon Saints, which was all the more terrifying.

Could it be... the legendary number one talent of the Demon Clan, Jiu Xiang?

"Begin breaking the Array!"

A cold, low shout resounded through the heavens and earth; as the eight streaks of light arrived, they almost simultaneously took action.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom—!!!

Ten Demon Clan powerhouses attacked at once, applying their terrifying might upon the Spiritual Treasure Array that shrouded the valley.

"Nine Demon Saints? And one Demon King? So many Semi-Divine Artifacts? Has the Demon Clan lost their minds?"

With a sweep of his Divine Thought, Lin Yue immediately understood—

The Array could not withstand this.

With just one combined attack, the terrifying power that descended shattered the Barrier formed by the Array instantly.

"Bang, bang, bang!"

The three Supreme Grade Spiritual Treasures and nine Mid Grade Spiritual Treasures that composed the Array were also directly destroyed!

In an instant, with the Array destroyed, Lin Yue was completely exposed to the ten Demon Clan powerhouses.
