Even with Wang Ruoxie, Nangong Han, Dongfang Qiong, Ximen Yao, and Bai Yinyin leading the charge, within moments, dozens were killed by Venerable Lan Yue.

Moreover, their corpses quickly merged into the Pool of Myriad Bloods, transforming into the energy needed for Venerable Lan Yue's resurrection.

Despite Venerable Lan Yue's body standing motionless, a tangible Blood Fiend Qi emanated from him,

and blood-colored demon beasts began to form, charging towards the crowd.

These blood-colored demon beasts were stronger than any encountered before, and they were more numerous.

Fortunately, with Wang Ruoxie and the others at the frontline, the hundreds in the Meridian Passage Realm were not entirely decimated within moments.

Yet even so, more were continuously slain by the blood-colored demon beasts, their corpses swiftly dissolving into the Pool of Myriad Bloods.

In just a short time, half of those at the Meridian Passage Realm were killed or wounded.

The battle was extraordinarily brutal.

Nearly every moment, several, even dozens, were slain by the blood-colored demon beasts.

The frightening thing was that, as time passed, the newly emerging blood-colored demon beasts grew stronger.

This also meant Venerable Lan Yue's power was ever increasing.

Eventually, although Venerable Lan Yue still could not move, he was indeed able to raise his hand to strike.

Each strike could easily kill more than a dozen individuals at the Meridian Passage Realm.

Even Nangong Han, Dongfang Qiong, Ximen Yao, and Bai Yinyin were injured.

Although their actual strength surpassed the Essence Pill Realm Third Layer, jointly matching an Essence Pill Realm Fourth Layer, the increasing power of Venerable Lan Yue wore them down significantly.

But Wang Ruoxie did not attack Venerable Lan Yue; instead, he submerged his entire body in the Pool of Myriad Bloods.

He did this not out of fear of death or to ambush Venerable Lan Yue but to try to destroy the Blood Refining Array, the root of his resurrection.

He had neither practiced the Blood Refining Evil Technique nor encountered the Blood Refining Array, yet in his past life, he had studied arrays extensively, even tutoring many Saint Level Array Masters in Array Dao.

However, the Blood Refining Array was far from any ordinary array, and dismantling it would not be straightforward.

Yet to Nangong Han and others, it seemed Wang Ruoxie, like the others, had dissolved into the blood water.

They knew that no one could resist the erosion of the blood water, a fatal touch, much less immersing the entire body as Wang Ruoxie did, assuredly resulting in death.

Unbeknownst to them, Wang Ruoxie had not dissolved but instead was vying with Venerable Lan Yue, absorbing the essence, qi, and spirit from the Pool of Myriad Bloods.

He mastered the Blood God Essence Blood, capable of devouring any blood's essence, qi, and spirit, so the blood water fused with countless life forms naturally contained immense essence, qi, and spirit.

Consequently, Venerable Lan Yue suffered a backlash from the myriad life forms' essence, qi, and spirit upon absorbing the blood, inhibiting his full resurrection.

Wang Ruoxie was different; mastering the Blood God Essence Blood, especially after it vortexed, allowed rapid absorption and integration of the essence, qi, and spirit without backlash.

Additionally, his flesh, constantly refined by the Blood God Essence Blood, along with his Black Tortoise Battle Armor, prevented erosion by the blood water.

With Wang Ruoxie's continuous devouring, the blood water in the pool visibly decreased at a rapid pace.

Simultaneously, his True Essence increased sharply.

Soon, his cultivation successfully advanced to the Essence Pill Realm Second Layer.

As his cultivation power increased, his devouring speed also soared.

His cultivation power was still rising quickly.

At this point, only a few dozen were left battling Venerable Lan Yue—the rest had become the pool's blood water.

And even that surviving few were in great peril.

Even Nangong Han, Dongfang Qiong, Ximen Yao, and Bai Yinyin were heavily injured.

Had it not been for their exceptional lifesaving methods, casualties would have already occurred.

Yet now they noticed the blood water beneath was diminishing rapidly.

Simultaneously, they felt the aura emitted by Venerable Lan Yue significantly weaken.

"What is happening?"

Nangong Han and the others exchanged glances, puzzled.

Others too noticed, visibly relieved, having thought death certain, now seeing a glimmer of hope.

"Who is it? Come out!"

Venerable Lan Yue roared, releasing a terrifying surge of aura.

He slammed a fierce palm onto the blood water in the pool.

"Boom, rumble..."

Amidst the thunderous roars, the blood water in the pool was parted.

In the next instant, Wang Ruoxie's figure emerged in everyone's view.

"Heaven, am I seeing things, he's still alive?"

"Unbelievable, he hasn't turned into blood water."

"Could he be the reason for the pool's diminishing blood water?"

...

Everyone stared at Wang Ruoxie in utter shock, exclamations of wonder spilling from their lips.

"It was you."

Venerable Lan Yue's blood-red eyes fixed on Wang Ruoxie, coldly shouting.

"Hold him off for half a moment."

Wang Ruoxie ignored Venerable Lan Yue, speaking to Nangong Han and the others.

Just moments ago, he deciphered the method to break the Blood Refining Array, though his current power couldn't accomplish it.

Thus, he focused on rapidly absorbing the essence, qi, and spirit from the pool to enhance his cultivation power.

Now, having reached the Essence Pill Realm Third Layer, gaining enough strength to break the array confidently, he declared a half moment would suffice to dismantle the Blood Refining Array.

"Alright."

Nangong Han and the others nodded without hesitation, then charged at Venerable Lan Yue.

Wang Ruoxie wasted no time, diving back into the blood water, traversing with a special trajectory, swiftly forming dozens of intricate seals at each stop.

In half a moment, he successfully dismantled the Blood Refining Array.

"Boom!"

Accompanied by a colossal explosion, the entire Pool of Myriad Bloods collapsed entirely.

"Boy, I remember you, in the future, I will slaughter your entire clan, avenging today's defeat."

As the pool crumbled, Venerable Lan Yue soared into the sky, disappearing swiftly, leaving only a roar.

Watching Venerable Lan Yue's departure, everyone felt a profound sense of relief.
