Chapter 723: Secrets of the Outer Realm

At this moment, Ye Feng had been pulled into that pool of blood, his entire body enveloped in the viscous liquid. Countless pressures came from all directions, preventing him from moving. It felt as though every cell in his body was suppressed, even preventing him from blinking.
“The Immortal Bloodline… I’ve waited a long time for a physical puppet like you,” the blood-colored monster’s voice continued to reach Ye Feng’s ears.
“Who exactly are you? If you know I belong to the Immortal Bloodline, aren’t you afraid of Immortal’s revenge?” The thought that Immortal was still cultivating in his mind gave Ye Feng some comfort, but he also wanted to uncover more about this monster.
“To be honest, in my current state, I’d naturally be no match for Immortal,” the blood-colored monster didn’t hide this fact. “But with you as a physical puppet, it won’t take long before I surpass him. Then, I’ll turn him into my own puppet as well. After that, I’ll take revenge on that bastard Tian Dao… With your two immortal bodies, I’ll surely grind that bastard Tian Dao to death…”
“Hmph, just a defeated subordinate. You can only say such things here,” Ye Feng retorted sarcastically. “Senior Tian Dao masters all the laws and powers of the heavens across countless universes. Thinking you can beat him is just delusion.”
“Tch, all those laws and powers of the heavens?” The blood-colored monster clearly despised these words. “He’s strong, sure, but claiming to master all of them is nonsense. Do you know there are worlds beyond the highest realms?”
“You mean the Outer Realm?” Ye Feng frowned slightly, wondering if this blood-colored monster came from the Outer Realm. “I’ve heard about it from Father Immortal.”
“Then do you know how large the Outer Realm is?” the monster pressed further.
“Well… I really don’t,” Ye Feng replied. “But since you’re not from the Outer Realm, you can’t possibly know, right?”
“Who told you I’m not from the Outer Realm?” The monster finally revealed its origin. “I am an elder of the Blood Demon clan of the Outer Realm. The entire Outer Realm is as big as the world you live in.”
“Blood Demons? Sounds pretty pathetic. I guess you’re just a lowly race in the Outer Realm, right? Otherwise, how would you end up hiding in a secret realm in this advanced primary realm?” Ye Feng sneered, aiming to provoke the Blood Demon into revealing the power structure of the Outer Realm.

“Nonsense! Our Blood Demon clan is one of the three strongest races in the Outer Realm,” the Blood Demon immediately retorted. “I am the third eldest of our clan, and even at my peak, my strength is not much weaker than that old bastard Immortal. How dare you call me a lowly scoundrel? If it weren’t for my impulsive decision to challenge that jerk Tian Dao alone, I wouldn’t have ended up like this. And as for this so-called secret realm you mentioned, it’s my internal universe. How can I be hiding in some secret realm? You naive kid know nothing!”
“Tch, one of the three strongest races? Whoever says that must be the one ranked third,” Ye Feng said disdainfully, continuing to provoke the Blood Demon. Clearly, this guy was easy to provoke, and just a few words later, he had obtained quite a bit of useful information.
“You…” The Blood Demon was suddenly struck at his weak point and ran out of words.
“Well, I think your attack method is quite unique. Could it be that the other two races ranked above you in the Outer Realm are even more extraordinary?” Ye Feng flattered him, clearly trying to get more information.
“Of course. Our clan’s attack methods are unique. Moreover, every drop of blood in our bodies can perfectly control each flesh puppet. At my peak, I could control trillions of flesh puppets at once. As for the other two races, I have to admit they are extraordinary too,” the Blood Demon said, his tone turning serious. “The first-ranked race is the Devouring Clan. They devour everything—nothing is too much for them, not even their own kind. They are also the ones all other races fear the most. The Devouring Power within you comes from them. But I’m curious—why do you, a kid, possess this Devouring Power?”
“I don’t know either. It’s probably innate…” Ye Feng lied. “And who’s ranked second?”
“The second-ranked race is the Divine Eye Clan. They are born with three eyes, but usually only open one. Each eye has a different function: one can be used for hypnosis and creating illusions, another can replicate any divine techniques, and the third can absorb and release various energies. The reason they rank second is that our Blood Demon clan is particularly wary of their illusions.”
“Are there frequent conflicts between the Outer Realm and our highest planes?” Ye Feng asked. “Everyone has their own territory—why can’t they live in peace?”

“Your thoughts are too naive, young man,” the Blood Demon laughed. “The people from the outer lands want to enter your world because there, wars rage on constantly, and all resources have been almost destroyed. There is no civilization—only barbarism and bloodshed. That’s why we long for your world, with its peace, civilization, emotions, and many other things we lack. We want to rule all of this, so we must attack your world.”
“Seizing something doesn’t mean you can keep it,” Ye Feng sighed.
“What’s seized becomes ours. Just as I take control of your body, you become my puppet.” The Blood Demon’s mindset was clearly different from Ye Feng’s.
“Then go ahead and try~” Ye Feng already had the answer he wanted and had no intention of delaying any longer. “Let’s see whether our indestructible bloodline is stronger or your Blood Demon clan is.”
“Hmph, you’re too confident in yourself…” The Blood Demon said as its blood-red tentacles reached toward Ye Feng’s mind sea. In less than a breath, it broke through the outer barrier of Ye Feng’s mind sea and entered it.
Just as it prepared to corrupt Ye Feng’s spirit, it accidentally spotted Immortal sitting in front of the Remnant Stele of the Heavenly Way. “There’s someone else? Still practicing? I’ll kill you first so you won’t disturb me from taking over this body later.”
With that thought, the Blood Demon rushed at Immortal…
Ye Feng, who was thinking about how to awaken Immortal, almost burst out laughing at this scene. That fool of a Blood Demon had voluntarily gone to cause trouble for Immortal—undoubtedly a suicidal act.
Ye Feng immediately felt relieved. His spiritual power emerged from the mind sea as he watched the show…
