Chapter 344: Chapter 343: Blood of Du Ye’s Envoy
Just as Zhu Yan couldn’t gauge Du Ye’s realm, he also couldn’t gauge Jiang Li’s realm.
Jiang Li’s cultivation felt like an unreachable mountain peak, with no end in sight, as well as a bottomless ocean, infinite and vast.
Although powerful, Zhu Yan was nothing more than a stubborn stone in the mountains and a fish in the sea, completely incomparable with Jiang Li.
He didn’t believe any talk about coming from the Jiuzhou World.
“An Immortal?” Zhu Yan sneered. How did it matter if someone achieved immortality? Weren’t they still human?
Over two thousand years ago, he had already seen through life and death, and had only one goal – to take revenge on humans.
“Today, the humans in the Lingxi World are enslaved by beasts. Beasts are deficient in intelligence. Is it your doing, or Du Ye’s?” fгee𝑤ebɳoveɭ.cøm
“Of course it was all my work. Du Ye only helped me see the truth, bit his finger, and gave me a few drops of blood.”
Seeing this, White Snow Spirit couldn’t help but ask: “Do you even spare your own kind?”
“My kind? Do you mean the demon beasts brainwashed by humans, the ones who grovel before humans? How could they and I be the same kind.”
Zhu Yan looked at White Snow Spirit disdainfully: “You’re also a demon beast, yet you still follow this human around, groveling before humans.”
“I’ve seen clearly that humans will never treat demon beasts kindly or fairly. You must be using your own cultivation to oppress demon beasts.”
Jiang Li suddenly asked: “After you reached the Transcendance Tribulation Stage, did you try to make humans and demon beasts live in equality?”
“You haven’t even tried, but you act as if you’ve seen through the malice in the human world. You have all this strength but only think of revenge, blaming everything and everyone. What a waste of your cultivation.”
“Do you know, in the Jiuzhou World there are nine great imperial dynasties, all equal in status. One of them, the White Marsh Emperor, is made up entirely of demon beasts.”
“Do you know that the back of the Jiuzhou Continent is an ocean, a territory entirely ruled by the dragon clan, barely entered by humans?”
“Do you know that there’s a Beast Tamer Sect in the Jiuzhou World? The contract they sign with demon beasts is one of equality.”
“Do you know, just now, a Body Integration Realm azure dragon and a God-transformation stage cultivator teamed up and defeated four Body Integration Realm demon beasts to become the lords of Lingxi Continent.”
“So, how exactly did you prove that humans and demon beasts can’t coexist in equality?”
“What do you know! What do you know! I was betrayed by humans, attacked by my own kind. Do you know any of that!” Jiang Li’s words felt like a knife, stabbing into Zhu Yan’s chest, over and over again.
Jiang Li was right, while Zhu Yan felt that humans and demon beasts are unchangeable, he never thought of trying to achieve true equality between the two.
No, suddenly Zhu Yan remembered that he had contemplated this issue, and had even tried to establish equality between humans and beasts.
But he couldn’t try. Trying would mean admitting that his previous actions, which led to the destruction of an entire civilization, were wrong.
But he was a Transcendance Tribulation Stage cultivator, the strongest. How could he be wrong?
The more Zhu Yan thought about it, the more scared he became. It felt as if Jiang Li’s seemingly trivial question invalidated all his two thousand years of waiting.

“Air raid shelter number 93, diary, Xiao Dong, Yan Yan. I know everything about your past experiences.” Jiang Li’s expression was cold.
“You’re pitiful indeed. But so what? Aren’t those people who died directly or indirectly because of you also pitiful? Do you know how many people contract the assimilation disease each year, and how many die from it?”
“Do these people deserve to die? Do they deserve to be your tools for venting?”
“I can’t be wrong!” Zhu Yan roared loudly, as if to convince himself.
But his trembling voice had already proven the turmoil in his heart.
“I can’t be wrong, I can’t be…” Zhu Yan repeated these words, but he wasn’t able to convince himself.
“It’s you, you’re trying to shake my Dao heart!” Zhu Yan shifted his attention to Jiang Li, thinking that this human was sinister.
“Luckily, I still have three drops of blood given by Du Ye. The stronger I am, the more firm my Dao heart will be. I need to become stronger!” Zhu Yan cackled, though Jiang Li had restrained him, his mouth could still move.
And the three drops of blood from Du Ye were in Zhu Yan’s mouth.
One drop, two drops.
Du Ye’s blood contained an extremely terrifying energy. Zhu Yan only consumed two drops and was raised from the late Transcendance Tribulation Stage to the stage capable of attracting Ascension Tribulation.
Jiang Li shook his head lightly, drawing White Snow Spirit away from the Ascension Tribulation’s range.
“Aren’t you going to deal with him?”
“He’s gone mad. Or you could say that ever since he killed his master, he had completely turned into a madman.”
“With his current state of mind, he won’t be able to pass the Ascension Tribulation.”
Just as Jiang Li had predicted, the Ascension Tribulation descended, and the first thing that came was not the Heavenly Tribulation, but the Heart Demon Tribulation, an insidious adversity. Zhu Yan was trapped within the Heart Demon Tribulation, unable to escape.
His expression was ferocious. He screamed as he started to mutilate himself. He ripped open his chest, took out his beating heart, as if trying to prove something.
His heart grew back, his chest healed itself. He tore it open again, took out the heart, and repeated this over and over again, until a small mountain of hearts piled up at his feet.
In the end, he died in the Heart Demon Tribulation, his spirit dissipated, without any hope of reincarnation.
This was the shortest Ascension Tribulation that Jiang Li had ever witnessed, also the first time he had seen a creature die under Ascension Tribulation.
“Is this the blood of Du Ye?” Du Ye’s blood remained after the Ascension Tribulation. Jiang Li used his spiritual power to encapsulate it for closer examination.
“Why does it seem similar to your blood?” Jiang Li turned his head in surprise and looked at White Snow Spirit.
“What?” White Snow Spirit was even more surprised than Jiang Li. Why did the blood of the extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon suddenly have anything to do with her?
Jiang Li handed the drop of blood to her.
After examining it, White Snow Spirit exclaimed in surprise: “This is Baize blood? Moreover, it has been modified by acquired evolution.”
“What do you mean?”
“I mentioned before, not all Baize blood can awaken spiritual wisdom. The First Generation Baize Emperor researched a method to awaken intelligence in demon beasts and integrated this method into the bloodline. The later generations only need to use their own blood to awaken intelligence. This is what acquired evolution means.”
“This drop of blood is the same, but the effect is completely opposite. A demon beast who takes this drop of blood will have chaotic thinking and will struggle to develop intelligence, remaining trapped in the path of beasts.”
“If this indeed is Du Ye’s blood…”
Jiang Li finished White Snow Spirit’s sentence: “Then is he also a Baize?”
“Yes.”
Every time an extraterrestrial Heavenly Demon came to Jiuzhou to court death, Jiang Li would ask someone to investigate their species. The results were disappointing.
The blood of the extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons was incredibly chaotic. Not only did they not match any known species, even the blood among the Heavenly Demons themselves differed.
Their forms were different, and even their blood had nothing in common.
Is Du Ye a member of the Demon clan, or are all extraterrestrial Heavenly Demons from the Demon clan? Jiang Li felt that the matter was not so simple.
“I’ll ask Eternal Immortal Elder when we get back.” Jiang Li wanted to see how the Eternal Immortal Elder would explain this problem.
“[Task completed, do you wish to claim the reward]?”
Jiang Li had nurtured Xiao Qing and Xia Chao, resisted the beast tide, and naturally completed the “[Aid the human race in the Lingxi World resist a country-annihilating level beast tide]”, and even far exceeded it.
After all, with Xiao Qing as the ruler of Lingxi World, there was no need to worry about the country-annihilating level beast tide anymore.
“Claim.”
A piece of Ascension Ladder fragment fell into Jiang Li’s hand.
