Lord-level monsters are the least daring to be provoked, and Jiang Yuan's actions undoubtedly angered this ninth-tier mutated psionic Shatu.

"Buzz!"

Shatu's four ears miraculously pressed against the ground, and all the sand grains around it floated up, each grain carrying immense power—a testament to their species' innate dominance over the sand.

"Little dumpling, here's your chance to shine!" Jiang Yuan suddenly had a sudden inspiration, stopped using his strength, turned around, picked up the little dumpling that was several times larger than his body, and threw it at Commander Shatu.

The little dumpling already knew what kind of person its master was. Without even guessing, it knew that its silly master was going to use enemies to hone its skills again.

Seeing this, Yu Tu was utterly stunned. She thought to herself, "What a scumbag! How could this guy use such an adorable battle pet as a shield?"

Indeed, in Yu Tu's eyes, Jiang Yuan had once again become that ruthless, cold machine who would use his own battle pet as a shield when he couldn't win. However, she overlooked one thing: Jiang Yuan threw the several-ton little dumpling out after its transformation. The power of that little dumpling was already comparable to that of a ninth-tier strength-type.

Little Dumpling and Commander Shatu clashed. Although there was a significant difference in strength between them, Little Dumpling's divine beast bloodline and powerful talent made up for the gap, ensuring that he would not be defeated for at least a short period of time.

After killing an ordinary sand monster, Jiang Yuan activated his Bloodlust, and with the help of his Five Elements Bloodline, he completely slaughtered those ordinary eighth-tier sand monsters.

The third Shatu died, still without a core or Holy Spirit Stone, but this time Jiang Yuan activated his full senses and clearly felt that the Shatu he had killed had transmitted a mysterious energy to him at the moment of its death.

"The Heavenly Eye, what is that?"

Jiang Yuan was at a loss because the mysterious energy had only appeared for a short time, and he had no chance to identify it. Without identification, the Heavenly Eye could not provide any feedback. But don't forget that the Heavenly Eye is now intelligent. With the capabilities of the intelligent Heavenly Eye, it can record the appearance of any mysterious energy. That's why he personally sought help from the Heavenly Eye.

Tianyan hesitated briefly upon hearing this, and finally said, "This matter involves battlefield rules, and in principle, it should not be disclosed!"

"Battlefield rules! But isn't this the ancient ruins of the human race? How is it related to the battlefield?" Jiang Yuan was slightly puzzled. As far as he knew, the battlefield was the post-apocalyptic Earth, and all creatures that enjoyed the blessings of the Golden Gate's spiritual power and became Spirit Awakeners would be affected by the battlefield rules.

"Who says the ancient ruins of the human race weren't battlefields?" Tianyan said in a deep voice.

Jiang Yuan was wary. Clearly, Tianyan knew a lot of inside information. Just as he was about to press for more information, the strange beast Shatu launched a fierce attack on him.

"court death!"

The God-Slaying Spear was put away, and in its place came the Tai Chi Chuan, which was nearing completion.

"Shadow Slaughter!"

As the black mist enveloped Jiang Yuan, his killing intent seemed to solidify, and even the attacking Shatu were stunned for a few seconds.

"Bloodlust level increased!"

"Divine power limit increased!"

As the fist landed on the powerful Shatu, two notification sounds entered Jiang Yuan's ears. The increase in his divine power limit proved that he had once again broken through his own limits, but he knew very well that he was still quite far from the ninth rank.

Just as Jiang Yuan was fighting, Tianyan finally convinced himself and began to explain in a monologue: "When a world becomes a battlefield, the most likely outcome is destruction! But the planet you are on is very lucky; it has witnessed at least two or more battlefields descend upon it!"

"In other words, the site we are in now is very likely an ancient battlefield that predates the current battlefield!"

Upon hearing this explosive news, Jiang Yuan visibly paused during the fight. Although he was shocked, he chose to continue listening.

"The rules of the battlefield that have not yet fully recovered cannot penetrate into another battlefield, so ask me anything you want, and I will answer your questions without crossing any lines!" Tianyan said.

"The first question is the same as before: why don't these monsters have cores and Holy Spirit Stones, and what was the thing that entered my body in the end?" Jiang Yuan didn't think much about it and asked the same question he had wanted to ask before.

“Each battlefield has a different cultivation system. These strange beasts don’t cultivate the Spirit Awakening system. As for why they can be detected as having ninth-order spiritual energy, it’s simply because it’s the only form that can be presented after the energy system is converted! Therefore, what these monsters drop when they die in different battlefields is not their core, but rather the unique spoils of their respective battlefields!”

With a casual sweep of its Heavenly Eye, the previously vanished energy reappeared. It solemnly declared, "If I'm not mistaken, this is the divine blood power of the Battlefield of Fallen Gods."

"The Battlefield of Fallen Gods? The power of divine blood?" Jiang Yuan frowned, not quite understanding what the Heavenly Eye had said.

Tianyan remained silent, choosing to avoid discussing Jiang Yuan's question. "Battlefield spoils come in many forms, and this time the spoils appeared as the core, so there's nothing strange about it!"

"There's another question: Has Earth experienced a similar catastrophe before?" Jiang Yuan looked up into the depths of the ruins, feeling from the bottom of his heart that this world was not as simple as it seemed on the surface.

"This is a problem!" Tianyan slowed his speech, and finally said earnestly, "The more you know, the less friendly the rules of the battlefield will be to you. Therefore, I hope you don't get caught up in the fog of war too early. Time will answer all your questions about the battlefield!"

Jiang Yuan didn't expect Tianyan to give him such a evasive answer, but since the words had already been spoken, there was no need to delve into it further. He then turned his attention to the question about the power of divine blood.

"What's the use of the divine blood power we just obtained?"

This time, Tianyan didn't hold back and said frankly, "The power of divine blood and the divine blood stone are essentially no different. The only difference is that the power of divine blood carries the inheritance of the true god, while the divine blood stone is just the energy crystal of diluted divine blood scattered in the universe."

"As for the appearance of divine blood power on this long-forgotten battlefield, I think it may be related to the fact that the battlefield was forgotten. The Battlefield of the Fallen Gods is the most tragic of all battlefields, without exception. When the Battlefield of the Fallen Gods was covered in dust, all the gods died in battle, which is one of the reasons why there was no divine blood power as a spoil of war on the final battlefield."

"So, the power of divine blood is better than the core?" Jiang Yuan sensed the regret in Tianyan's words.

"That's for sure! Although the core can yield many items, it's still inferior to the power of divine blood. Good divine blood can even allow someone to ascend to the heavens in one step, which cannot be compared to external means like opening the core!" Heavenly Eye gave a definite answer.

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Yuan killed another strange beast, Shatu, and a wisp of pale gray divine blood power was absorbed into his body.

"Then how should we use the power of divine blood?"

"Cooperate with the divine essence!"
