The numerous attacks struck the Blood Orb, causing the blood within to surge and evaporate, seemingly with little effect; however, the Dwarf Race all knew that such attacks greatly drained the practitioner of Blood Path Secret Technique.

Once the practitioner is unable to sustain it, they can directly strike at the Yellow Dragon!

Inside the Blood Orb, the five cultivators trapped were also using their own techniques. Especially the Constellation Mid-Stage cultivator, whose attacks were most fierce, almost giving it his all because he knew that trapped in such a predicament, he was doomed. Before dying, he certainly wanted to exert his maximum power to weaken the enemy's strength.

He was not wrong in thinking this, but within a fleeting moment, a figure ghostly appeared behind him, a long blade drawn, giving him no time to react, severed his head in one stroke.

Simultaneously, with Lu Ye's covert guidance, the Eastern Region cultivators in pairs began their siege on the fallen enemies in the Blood Sea at four different positions.

The battle erupted quickly and ended swiftly, within a few breaths, it returned to calm.

Following Lu Ye's guidance, eight individuals returned to the camp platform, sat cross-legged, and began to take out spirit jade to replenish themselves.

Yet soon, everyone noticed something odd, as in this environment, their recovery efficiency was many times faster than usual cultivation. The energy flowing into their bodies wasn't just from refining spirit jade, but also from a source they couldn't detect, continuously injected from the surrounding Blood Sea, replenishing their consumption.

Most were unaware of what was happening, only Huang Li and Xu Xinghe, who were with Lu Ye understood this was Lu Ye's doing.

They had experienced this before with Lu Ye, using the As-Close-As-Siblings Array Disc, never worrying about their spirit force endurance, as their spirit reserves were always full.

Yet, the two didn't know that this time Lu Ye was utilizing the As-Close-As-Siblings Spirit Runes, rather than the array disc.

The array disc's coverage was ultimately limited, but within the Blood Sea, Lu Ye could easily construct an As-Close-As-Siblings Spirit Runes covering everyone. At this moment, spirit jade was piled under his feet, with the roots of the Talent Tree dug in, rapidly devouring, replenishing his consumption while aiding Hai Tang and others' recovery.

Not stopping there, he also took out the demonic pills from previous lanternfish star beasts he killed, chewing and ingesting them.

Others in the East couldn't sense the danger outside, but as the Blood Technique practitioner, Lu Ye was well aware of the situation in the South and West divisions.

He had to admit, the South and West's current response was not what he wanted to see, and it gave him the biggest headache.

They only launched long-range attacks, never approaching the Blood Sea, leaving him with little recourse.

And observing the current situation, he could only persist for half a day at most since the spirit force he refined now had to maintain the Blood Sea and assist Hai Tang and others' recovery, a consumption an Early Stage Constellation could hardly bear.

Only he, possessing the Talent Tree, could still hold out for a while.

After half a day, he would have to retract the Blood Sea, or else if his spirit force fell to a certain limit, it would surely affect subsequent strength exertion, worsening the situation.

Choosing to retract the doppelganger is a problem; if retracted, it could quickly replenish his consumption, considering the separated force from the doppelganger could swiftly merge with the main body.

Yet, even if retracted, whether he could endure to the Martial Arts Meet's end remained uncertain.

After a while of thinking, Lu Ye decided not to retract; the doppelganger had its uses outside, and it was about time to begin operation.

With a thought, at the South Camp, several recently deceased in the Blood Sea sped out, rushing toward the East Camp, evidently to support the battlefield.

Once these individuals proceeded afar, the doppelganger emerged from hiding, heading directly toward the South Camp.

Facing two was ultimately too difficult; dividing the enemy offered hope. This tactic was used before during the ninth Spirit Orb snatch, repeating it now would be fine.

Previously, five joined forces to destroy an array, yet now only the doppelganger was there, needing more time to break the South Camp's Protective Array.

This was also why the doppelganger went out now—the timing must be just right; too early, and even if they returned for support, they might still charge to the battlefield, missing the division purpose; too late, failing to break the Protective Array to move the Spirit Orb, the South wouldn't notice and naturally wouldn't reinforce.

At this precise moment.

The choice to target the South rather than the West… there were only two Spirit Orbs in the West, more secured.

Whereas the South had three; even without gaining more, keeping the current spoils would suffice for reporting back, hence they wouldn't allow any damage to existing spoils no matter what.

Time passed, five deceased from the South and West divisions gradually arrived at the battlefield, rejoining combat.

Lu Ye felt even more pressured, evident in the ongoing shrinkage of the Blood Sea, which enemies saw and naturally attacked even fiercer.

After half a day, sensing his spirit force already at a set limit, Lu Ye knew he couldn't delay any longer and immediately transmitted audio to all sides.

Hai Tang and others, in recovery, simultaneously opened eyes, each with bright pupils; supported by Lu Ye, their spirit force reserves had fully restored, they were in their prime state at this very moment!

Everyone knew that the moment of the final battle had arrived, and whether they could hold onto the current victory depended on this last fight.

At the same time, at the Southern Region Camp, the doppelganger finally broke through the big array, fully driving the spirit force to crash into a Spirit Orb, then pushed it to fly outward swiftly.

The cultivators of the South and West troops attacking the Blood Orb fiercely suddenly sensed something. Duan Xiuchen cursed: "Damn, why are they playing this trick again?"

This had happened before, and they were on guard against it, but when they saw with their own eyes all nine people from the East gathering, they assumed the same thing couldn't happen again. The Eastern troops were at the camp, so who would attack their camp?

Yet it happened, truly beyond comprehension.

All nine from the West were present, and there were no traces of anyone leaving the East Side; how could their camp's Array be broken, and how was the Spirit Orb moved?

Surely, there couldn't be a fourth faction emerging from the Black Abyss?

They couldn't explore it, but the fact that their Spirit Orb was moving was undeniable, and it was moving increasingly faster. If they didn't quickly intercept it, it might really be stolen.

Duan Xiuchen made a swift decision, quickly ordering a cultivator at Constellation Early Stage: "Go back and check the situation!"

The Constellation Early Stage cultivator obeyed, and immediately met his demise!

In the next moment, he reappeared at his camp, pursued the source of the Spirit Orb's fluctuation, and soon saw the trace of the Spirit Orb. Observing closer, he saw a familiar figure fiercely pushing the Spirit Orb.

The person was instantly dumbfounded, almost unable to believe his eyes, because he discovered the one pushing the Spirit Orb was none other than that fellow Lu Ye!

Before he could take out his audio talisman to send a message, a streak of sword light slashed toward him, too quick to dodge, slicing him in half, and blood spattered the Void.

Upon reappearing at his camp again, the person looked slightly pale; dying twice in succession was a tremendous drain on his mental state and spirit force. Furthermore, he had been assaulting the East Camp, leaving him with less than fifty percent of his usual spirit force reserve.

He took out his audio talisman, transmitting to inform Duan Xiuchen of the situation.

Duan Xiuchen was dumbstruck upon receiving the message. He had always thought the blood orb was a secret technique by Lu Ye, but if Lu Ye was raiding the camp, then whose handiwork was this blood orb secret technique?

More puzzling was how he managed to leave. There was no trace of anyone departing, as the South and West troops had been constantly monitoring the area.

Without much hesitation, Duan Xiuchen quickly pointed out four, instructing them to return for backup.

He had previously experienced Lu Ye's tactics, naturally understanding that sending too few wouldn't be effective, but there was no need for everyone to go back just for one person, especially since he needed to remain there to contest for the Spirit Orb. Reincarnating once drained too much spirit force; he wouldn't do it unless necessary.

Among the four selected, there were two at Constellation Mid-Stage, plus the one who had returned, making a team of five. In Duan Xiuchen's view, it was enough to deal with Lu Ye; even if they couldn't kill him, they could retrieve the Spirit Orb, which was sufficient.

"What's happening?" Ye Chaoqun asked, eager to know what was occurring at the Southern Region Camp.

Duan Xiuchen appeared to have a toothache: "That Brother Lu somehow managed to get out and is raiding our Southern Region Camp!"

Ye Chaoqun was not surprised but delighted: "Is this true?"

"My junior saw it with his own eyes, how could it be false?"

Ye Chaoqun laughed immediately: "Is this his way of admitting defeat, trying to annoy you guys some more?"

It was impossible to successfully raid a camp at this point, but Lu Ye chose to do it, even abandoning the defense of the East Camp, which was a completely thankless task.

Whereas on the East Side, their main concern was Lu Ye, and now that Lu Ye was absent, there was no need to regard the rest.

"Tell your juniors to just retrieve the Spirit Orb and entangle Lu Ye. But for heaven's sake, don't kill him!" Ye Chaoqun hastily reminded.

If he died, he would return, becoming a variable again.

If they entangled him, he couldn't return, and dealing with the East would be easier.

Of course, if he insisted on self-destruction, there was nothing they could do.

"Of course, I have already instructed them to do just that," Duan Xiuchen responded while continuing to wildly assault the wavering Blood Sea.

As the words left his mouth, the audio talisman stirred again, and upon inspection, his expression changed drastically, as the supposedly foolproof team of five had been completely wiped out by Lu Ye!
