149 Dragon's Blood

Rei slowly opened his eyes as pain shot through his body.

"Urrgg...." A grown escaped his mouth as he didn't want to move.

'So, I lived...' Rei thought as sighed out with a slight smile.

He couldn't move his body as reaching rank 6 was too taxing on his body, taking the moment to look at the system notifications he received Rei smiled.

'How long have a slept for?'

[Almost 5 days.]

Rei frowned at the length of time but felt that it was natural since he had pushed his limits.

Rei laid there still as he waited for the extreme weakened period time to pass.

Time passed quickly as Rei finally stood up once more.

*Deep breath in~

"Haaa....." Rei took a deep breath outside the dragon corpse as he looked at the giant carcass.

"That reminds me, how's the blood law?" Rei asked remembering why he hunted the divine rank 3 blade serpent to begin with.

[Blood law - (1%->86%) New!]

Rei smiled even more as he understood why that would be the case. 10,000 normal rank 2 beasts gave him 1%. A rank 6 almost 7 divine dragon would defiantly give him more. Not to mention, the blood was divine blood and the dragon could have become a rank 10 Divine Blade Dragon.

Waving his hand, Rei refined the carcass of the dragon into a pill before eating it. The remainder of the dragon flesh revitalised his body as he had already absorbed the blood.

Looking around, Rei couldn't help but marvel at the damage caused by their fight.

Large chunks of earth were lifted, mountains collapsed, deep ravines were formed which one could see larva flowing deep below.

Sending out his senses, Rei realised the range was much larger due to his increase of soul rank. If he were to estimate, he could probably cover the entirety of douluo dalu world or any world for that matter, yet it barely escaped this forest really tells one how large the blood craze realm is.

Rei suddenly opened his eyes as he found a city just outside the forest.

"Why is there a city here?" Rei muttered with a frown.

He came to the Blood Craze Realm from the God Ascension Realm yet there were people here that made a city.

'Could it be that these realms are of different worlds and that gods borrowed these realms for training in return of exterminating the monsters?' Rei theorised with a frown.

Most of the ranks of people in the city were around the level King Rank or below with a few above the King Rank. Some were around World and Sovereign Rank with two being Ascendant Rank early stage.

But the most concerning thing about this city was how there were one very large aura compared to the rest.

"Divine rank 2."Rei frowned. It was unnatural for a Divine Rank 2 to be there as the general power showed that reaching such a level in the city was almost impossible.

Rei decided to try out his new mount as this would be a good test to see how useful it was.

Exerting some energy, Rei saw a portal form above him as the dragon appeared. Similar to when it was alive, it was Divine Rank 6 and its appearance stayed the same. But it was on a smaller scale.

[The mount would adjust its size depending on the user's will with the largest being the same size it was when it was alive.]

Rei nodded at the system's message as he could feel the connection with the dragon. It was like a puppet. It had no soul but could fight for itself should the situation arise. Rei could also control the dragon remotely if he wished.

Jumping on the back of the dragon, Rei willed it to fly towards the city.

The wings slowly unfolded before the dragon shot off causing Rei to almost fall back. The speed was much faster than Rei's top speed as he saw the dense amount of tree's pass by quickly.

"This might be quite useful since it's like having a Divine Rank 6 pet." Rei muttered.

Bringing his body lower, Rei controlled the dragon to fly even faster as his eyes concentrated to keep up with the speed. The speed of the dragon had easily passed the speed of light as they arrived at the city after a while.

Rei could see the troops panicking when they saw a dragon suddenly appear.

Landing the dragon in front of the gates, Rei dismounted as he was approached by the strongest people in the city apart from the divine rank 2 who was trying to hide his presence.

"Who are you?" The Ascendant ranked old man shouted out.

"Forget the introduction, where is your leader?" Rei said as they looked at each other.

"Who are you on about?" The old man replied.

Rei frowned.

"OI YOU! Divine Rank 2! I know you're there! Come out before I look for you instead!" Rei shouted out causing the troops to cover their ears.

Soon Rei could feel a presence dashing towards him as the figure soon came into view.

He wore flashy robes adored with a disgusting amount of jewellery that made Rei nauseous just looking at him. He had long black hair that reached his lower back, brown eyes and a lean body.

"Ahaha hello there senior how can I help?" He said politely as he could tell the dragon was rank 6. For someone like Rei to use the dragon as a mount he was defiantly strong. Much stronger than divine rank 2.

"Why are you here and why is there a city?" Rei asked straight up as roundabout talks weren't his thing.

"Let's talk in the castle." The person gestured as Rei nodded.

Dismissing the dragon into a portal, Rei followed the man back to the castle.

Sitting on a chair, Rei crossed his legs and stared at the man.

"So answer me, why are you here and why is there a city?" Rei asked once more as the distance between the city and forest was far too long for someone to find it easily.

"Well, I had-"

"The truth." Rei frowned as he could tell from the person's gestures that he was trying to make something up.

"I was chased and ran for my life, after a few months of constant running I happen to find a village. A few hundred years have passed and I made it into a city." The person said quickly.

"Are there any other cities?" Rei asked.

"Yes, but I'm the only Divine Ranked cultivator that found one." The man replied.

"How come there are cities in the Blood Craze Realm? I thought that this place was somewhere that is used for training?" Rei asked once more.

"From what I have gathered, gods came thousands of years ago and made a deal with the people they found in this realm, in return of using this place as a cultivation realm, they would open portals that allow the cultivators to appear around where most of the beasts are and deal with them. This allowed the realm to live their lives with relative ease." He said as Rei nodded. It was what he had roughly guessed.

"Then why don't you return?" Rei said as the person shrank back slightly.

"Well the life here isn't bad, you can get whatever you want. Riches, woman, entertainment. I should tell you that the women here are especially beautiful." The man said with a disgusting smile that Rei just ignored.

"So you've abandoned cultivation for desires?" Rei asked.

"Well I guess so, I mean if you look at the women here you'll understand what I mean." The man said before waving his hand and sent a message. It wasn't long before rows upon rows of women appeared. Some looked scared, somewhere filled with fear and somewhere excited.

Rei frowned slightly at this. While they were beautiful, in Rei's eyes they were a far from Bai Wu and Eve.

"Leave." Rei said simply as the man commanded them to leave.

"Senior were you not happy with them?" The person asked.

"Why were some scared?" Rei said as the man only laughed.

"Well I got the most beautiful women from this realm. Some were married some were so young so naturally the strong gets what he wants. It's a strong eat the weak no?" The person said as Rei only frowned in disgust.

Because of Eve and Bai Wu, Rei had respect for what women want. He wouldn't force something they didn't want. Just imagining a stronger person taking his beloved women away from him pissed him off so the actions of the man only further increased his disgust.

"So you stole them from their husbands or their family?" Rei said slowly.

"Indeed, it's best if they have attachments since breaking them is more fun." The man said with a grin.

His grin turned to a frown as he slowly looked down to see a sword piercing his chest.

"Since you abandoned cultivation and all sense of mental code, this world doesn't need you." Rei spoke as the man died.

"Rise." Rei spoke as the man's body twitched before removing the sword.

Rei made a few seals before pushing it into the man's corpse. This made it so that the man would lead the realm with better knowledge and cultivation.

It was Rei's form of trade as killing the only Divine Rank 2 would cause a riot and a hole in power. With the seals, Rei installed a fake personality and seals to help it separate good from bad. A seal to absorb energy to run itself and dismiss it self when the realm doesn't need him. In addition to this, Rei also made a few more seals to help out with developing the realms. Defensive seals and offensive seals just in case.

Seeing that everything was done, Rei left the kingdom.

Rei sighed as he remembered how the cultivator acted.

"The strong prey on the weak huh? I hope the seals I've made should prevent this." Rei thought as he made it so that the dead cultivator would slowly increase its rank overtime. There was also a seal to help it observe everything so that if anything like tearing families apart happened the man would kill the offender.

Rei shook his head as he vowed to not commit something so disgusting.

"I should go to the cultivation tower to solidify my foundations." Rei thought as he used the seal to leave the realm.

Unknown to Rei, his actions made the realm one of the most peaceful yet powerful realms far into the future.

...

Eve was feeling slightly restless as she observed the changed to Rei. She saw how his energy was decreasing rapidly and the system notifications of what was happening.

She only felt more worried since she couldn't do anything about it. Right now she was in arena with 6 more fights lined up. She couldn't leave until she finished the fights since she was an exception due to her master.

She could only take out her nervousness with fighting.

Her opponent was Divine rank 4 while she was Divine Rank 3.

"Mirai." Eve spoke softly.

'Got it, end it fast right?' A female voice rang out in Eve's mind as the Zanpakuto Rei helped her create was summoned in the form of a pair of wire gloves.

"Start!" The announcer called out.

Eve instantly clenched her two fists as she used her Divine essence of time to speed the wires up. Her opponent was instantly bound with wire that would kill him should Eve will it.

"Winner! With an astounding new record of 1.2 seconds War Saint successor Eve wins again!" The announcer called out as Eve waited for her next opponent.

A woman walked on stage.

She had brown hair reaching her hips, soft features, large round eyes and brown pupils. She wore a light pink kimono with bottom reaching around her thighs. The kimono had large sleeves which hid her hands. She also wore white stockings which paired well with her kimono. Her beauty was not one bit inferior to Eve.

"I've finally found you." The woman spoke as she looked at Eve.

Eve looked up and smiled.

"Hello Bai Wu, I've been waiting to meet you."
