Chapter 3167: ComprehensionEditor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Regarding the spawns, their reason for stopping the attack on the defensive line was simple.

The Evil Clan had acted as a mediator.

At first, when the spawns heard the vampires’ request for negotiations, they naturally scoffed.

The vampires had first taken my territory, now they succeeded in taking more, and then came to negotiate? This was theirs to begin with—negotiations were absurd!

However, after hearing that the vampires possessed the ability to destroy the entire Land of Ice Soul, the spawns realized the situation was complicated.

The vampires could overturn everything!

If driven to the edge, they could destroy the Core Flame Vein or even forcibly extract world energy, completely cutting off the Land of Ice Soul’s ability to generate new Core Flame Veins.

If, as the Evil Clan suggested, the vampires chose mutual destruction, the spawns would have no way to acquire Core Flame Ore elsewhere in the short term.

Yet Core Flame Ore was the most important part of the Helium research project.

Moreover, the spawns had detected drastic fluctuations in the world energy of the Ice Soul world recently, with energy significantly weakened.

This caused major divisions among the spawns’ leadership.

For critical matters, the highest council of the spawns had to hold discussions and vote.

The vampires had not demanded excessively. They only requested twenty high-tier transport ships, fully loaded with ore, to depart.

It was not too much to ask.

Yet the spawns could not afford to lose face.

One of the universe’s seven great overlords threatened by a vampire appearing out of nowhere? And now being forced to compensate? Ridiculous.

Besides, the vampire was related to the Seed of Ouroboros and the Black Fog.

Choosing the lesser evil seemed best.

After a brief discussion, the spawns decided to cooperate, but planned to ambush the vampires within the ships and attempt to eliminate the vampire leadership.

For this, they needed more time to urgently gather a group of high-tier martial artists who had undergone Helium research experiments.

After all, even if the vampires tried to destroy the Core Flame Vein, it would take them time.

With decisive combat strength guaranteed, even if their ambush failed, the high-tier martial artists could eliminate the vampires before they destroyed the world.

However, the spawns did not realize that all of these outcomes had already been predicted by the Evil Clan.

After millions of years of interaction, the Evil Clan knew the spawns too well, understanding exactly what decisions they would make.

In the underground cavern, three dark vortexes condensed.

Wu Yi emerged from the gray vortex once again.

Two larger Evil Clan members stepped out, one on each side of Wu Yi, standing behind her.

"Fang Heng, everything is as I said. The spawns have agreed to the vampires’ surrender terms. The ships you need will arrive in three hours, but judging by the spawns’ behavior, they are unlikely to cooperate sincerely and may set ambushes within the ships. Be careful."

"Thanks for the warning."

Fang Heng shrugged.

It didn’t matter; they never intended to give him the ships anyway. It was just a delay tactic.

"Only three hours... too short..."

Fang Heng glanced at the Black Fog prisms still operating behind him, pursed his lips, and said, "This time isn’t enough to move the remaining Core Flame Vein."

Wu Yi thought to herself how greedy Fang Heng was. Move all of it? He was daring indeed.

Counting the time spent mediating before, they could secure a total of eight hours for Fang Heng—a very good window.

"All we can do for now is this. Most of the Helium research materials are in the spawns’ hands, and the Evil Clan has no plan to attack the spawns in the near term. We won’t enter the battlefield voluntarily. Participating as mediators is already a huge risk."

"Enough of that," Fang Heng decided he would act opportunistically later and asked, "Where’s the item?"

Wu Yi nodded slightly, flicked her wrist, and tossed a small glass vial toward Fang Heng.

The vial levitated in midair before him.

Fang Heng focused his gaze on a drop of crimson blood in the center of the vial.

From this single drop, he sensed a terrifying power unlike anything he had felt before.

"God’s Blood..."

He stared at the drop and muttered, raising his right hand toward the vial.

"Bang!!!"

The vial shattered instantly. The God’s Blood levitated in midair and began to refine under Fang Heng’s power.

The two Evil Clan members following Wu Yi were immediately shocked.

That was God’s Blood!

They and the spawns, as well as the Kate Clan, had spent immense time researching it. Eventually, the Evil Clan had discovered the ritual to create God’s Blood Stones in an ancient tome of a minor race, refining it over years so it could barely be used.

Still, even after improvements, the God’s Blood Stone carried various troublesome side effects.

At first, the Evil Clan had not fully believed Wu Yi’s claims about vampires’ strange blood control, but now it seemed her words were true.

"Chi, chi, chi..."

With Fang Heng’s mental strength, the powerful refining completely purified all impurities and negative effects from the God’s Blood.

Huh?

Fang Heng was silently surprised.

Refining God’s Blood required far more mental strength than he had anticipated.

The single drop levitated, constantly rolling and emitting chi sounds, releasing clouds of white fog.

Ten full minutes passed.

Fang Heng suddenly raised his hand.

"Whoosh!"

The refined God’s Blood split into four portions. Two levitated before Fang Heng, while the other two floated toward Wu Yi.

"Done. This is the agreed distribution."

"Thank you for your effort."

Wu Yi nodded at Fang Heng, signaling the two accompanying Evil Clan members with her eyes.

The two Elders Council members of the Evil Clan stepped forward, staring at the floating drops of blood, hesitant.

They could feel the powerful energy waves emanating from the God’s Blood.

But... had it truly been fully purified? Could it now be absorbed directly?

In past attempts, all Evil Clan members who tried to absorb God’s Blood without refining had exploded.

Still hesitant, they looked up, only to see Fang Heng swallow the two levitating drops before him.

A surge of scalding lifeblood coursed through his body.

These two drops contained roughly a hundred times the God’s Blood he had previously obtained from the God’s Blood Stone.

Immediately, heat spread throughout his body.

Good timing!

Fang Heng focused his mind and gathered all the blood in his body to refine it.
